NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
December
31, 2005 and September 30, 2006
1.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
On
June
30, 2006, Lixte Biotechnology, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation
(“Lixte”), completed a reverse merger transaction with SRKP 7, Inc. (“SRKP”), a
public “shell” company, whereby Lixte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SRKP.
For financial reporting purposes, Lixte was considered the accounting acquirer
in the merger and the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly,
the historical financial statements presented herein are those of Lixte and
do
not include the historical financial results of SRKP. The stockholders’ equity
section of SRKP has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to
reflect the accounting effect of the reverse merger transaction. All costs
associated with the reverse merger transaction were expensed as incurred.
Comparative financial statements for the interim periods ended September 30,
2005 reflect the results of operations of Lixte for the period August 9, 2005
(inception) to September 30, 2005 as Lixte, the accounting acquirer in the
reverse merger transaction, was not formed until August 9, 2005. As such, the
operations of the Company during these periods, was nominal. Unless the context
indicates otherwise, SRKP and Lixte are hereinafter referred to as the
“Company”. On August 28, 2006, the Company advised its stockholders that the
Board of Directors and majority stockholder had approved an amendment to the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that will change the name of the
corporation to Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.
The
interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position
at September 30, 2006, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, and for the period from
August 9, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2006 (cumulative). The consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is derived from the Company’s audited
financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for
a
full fiscal year.
The
interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant
to
the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
with respect to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management of the Company
believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to
make
the information presented therein not misleading. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements that were
included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on
July 7, 2006.
2.
Business Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature
of Operations
Lixte
was
incorporated in Delaware on August 9, 2005 to capitalize on opportunities to
develop low cost, specific and sensitive tests for the early detection of
cancers to better estimate prognosis, to monitor treatment response, and to
reveal targets for development of more effective treatments.
The
Company’s initial focus is on developing new treatments for the most common and
most aggressive type of primary brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”).
Lixte entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”)
with the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (“NINDS”) of the
National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) to identify and evaluate drugs that target
a specific biochemical pathway for GBM cell differentiation. The CRADA also
covers research to determine whether expression of a component of this pathway
correlates with prognosis in glioma patients.
The
Company expects that its products will derive directly from its intellectual
property, which will consist of patents that it anticipates will arise out
of
its research activities. These patents are expected to cover biomarkers uniquely
associated with the specific types of cancer, patents on methods to identify
drugs that inhibit growth of specific tumor types, and combinations of drugs
and
potential drugs and potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of specific
cancers.
7
At
September 30, 2006, the Company was considered a “development stage company” as
defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, “Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”, as it had not yet commenced any
revenue-generating operations, did not have any cash flows from operations,
and
was dependent on debt and equity funding to finance its operations. The Company
has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.
Going
Concern
At
September 30, 2006, the Company had not yet commenced any
revenue-generating operations. All activity through September 30, 2006
related to the Company’s formation, capital raising efforts and initial research
and development activities. As such, the Company has yet to generate any cash
flows from operations, and is essentially dependent on debt and equity funding
from both related and unrelated parties to finance its operations. Prior to
June
30 2006, cash requirements were funded by advances from Lixte’s founder. On June
30, 2006, the Company completed an initial closing of its private placement
(see
Note 3), selling 1,973,869 shares of common stock at a price of $0.333 per
share
and receiving net proceeds of $522,939. On July 27, 2006, the Company completed
a second closing of its private placement, selling 1,581,351 shares of common
stock at a price of $0.333 per share and receiving net proceeds of $427,925.
Because
the Company is currently engaged in research at a very early stage, it will
likely take a significant amount of time to develop any product or intellectual
property capable of generating revenues. As such, the Company’s business is
unlikely to generate any revenue in the next several years and may never do
so.
Even if the Company is able to generate revenues in the future through licensing
its technologies or through product sales, there can be no assurance that such
revenues will exceed its expenses.
Based
on
the proceeds received from the private placement (see Note 3), the Company
may
not have sufficient resources to completely fund its planned operations for
the
next twelve months. The Company does not have sufficient resources to fully
develop and commercialize any products that may arise from its research.
Accordingly, the Company will need to raise additional funds in order to satisfy
its future working capital requirements. In the short-term, in addition to
the
net proceeds from the private placement, the Company estimates that it will
approximately require additional funding of approximately $2,300,000.
Additionally, the amount and timing of future cash requirements will depend
on
market acceptance of the Company’s products, if any, and the resources that the
Company devotes to developing and supporting its products. The Company will
need
to fund these cash requirements from either one or a combination of additional
financings, mergers or acquisitions, or via the sale or license of certain
of
its assets.
Current
market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure
additional funds, as well as its ability to reach profitability. There can
be no
assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or
obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available, or as to its
ability to achieve positive cash flow from operations. Continued negative cash
flows and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s
ability to fully implement its operating plan and the Company may have to reduce
the scope of its planned operations. If cash and cash equivalents are
insufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity requirements, the Company would
be required to scale back or discontinue its product development program, or
obtain funds if available through strategic alliances that may require the
Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or discontinue
its
operations.
8
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
of SRKP and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lixte. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, such
cash
and cash equivalents may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced a loss in such accounts to date. The Company maintains its accounts
with financial institutions with high credit ratings.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact
of
differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities.
For
federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses must be deferred until
the Company commences business operations and then they may be written off
over
a 60-month period. These expenses will not be deducted for tax purposes and
will
represent a deferred tax asset. The Company will provide a valuation allowance
for the full amount of the deferred tax asset since there is no assurance of
future taxable income. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20
years
until utilized.
Stock-
Based Compensation
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No.
123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), a revision to
SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS No. 123R superseded
APB
No. 25 and amended SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Effective January
1,
2006, SFAS No. 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair
value of the awards, with the cost to be recognized as compensation expense
in
the Company’s financial statements over the vesting period of the
awards.
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, and is using the
modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning
with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for
all
share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the
requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees prior to
the
effective date of SFAS No. 123R that remain unvested on the effective date.
Accordingly,
the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based compensation for
all
new or modified grants issued after December 31, 2005. The Company did not
have
any modified grants during the three months and nine months ended September
30,
2006.
In
addition, commencing January 1, 2006, the Company is required to recognize
the
unvested portion of the grant date fair value of awards issued prior to the
adoption of SFAS No. 123R based on the fair values previously calculated for
disclosure purposes over the remaining vesting period of the outstanding stock
options and warrants. The Company did not have any unvested outstanding stock
options and warrants at December 31, 2005.
9
Pro
forma
information regarding net income (loss) per share is required by SFAS No. 123
as
if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and warrants under
the fair value method of such statement. However, during the period from
August 9 (Inception) to September 30, 2005, Lixte had no stock options or
warrants outstanding. Accordingly, no pro forma financial disclosure has been
presented for the period from August 9 (Inception) to September 30,
2005.
Information
with respect to stock options and warrants issued during 2006 is presented
at

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value
under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 defines and codifies the many definitions of fair
value
included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some
instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements,
and
increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although
SFAS No. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA
pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements,
nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other
accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements,
except for: SFAS No. 123R, share-based payment and related pronouncements,
the
practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other
authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9
that deal with software revenue recognition. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Loss
per Common Share
Loss
per
common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of
shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and
diluted loss per common share are the same for all periods presented because
all
warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive. The 19,021,786 shares
of common stock issued to the founder of Lixte in conjunction with the closing
of the reverse merger transaction on June 30, 2006 have been presented as
outstanding for all periods presented.
Research
and Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Amounts
due, pursuant to contractual commitments, on research and development contracts
with third parties are recorded as a liability, with the related amount of
such
contracts recorded as advances on research and development contract services
on
the Company’s balance sheet. Such advances on research and development contract
services are expensed over their life on the straight-line basis, unless the
achievement of milestones, the completion of contracted work, or other
information indicates that a different expensing schedule is more
appropriate.
10
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Equipment
Equipment
is recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is provided on a straight-line basis
using estimated useful lives of 3 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged
to
expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
property accounts are relieved of costs and accumulated depreciation and any
resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
Reclassification
During
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company
reclassified contractual commitments not yet due, totaling $200,000, against
the
related liability and therefore, the balance sheet at September 30, 2006 only
reflects amounts committed, and currently due.

Share Exchange Agreement and Private Placement
Share
Exchange Agreement
On
June
30, 2006, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated as of June 8, 2006 (the
“Share Exchange Agreement”) by and among SRKP, John S. Kovach (“Seller”) and
Lixte, SRKP issued 19,021,786 shares of its common stock in exchange for all
of
the issued and outstanding shares of Lixte (the “Exchange”). Previously, on
October 3, 2005, Lixte had issued 1,500 shares of its no par value common stock
to its founder for $1,500, which constituted all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Lixte prior to the Exchange. As a result of the Exchange, Lixte became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of SRKP.
Pursuant
to the Exchange, SRKP issued to the Seller 19,021,786 shares of its common
stock. SRKP had a total of 25,000,832 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding after giving effect to the Exchange and the 1,973,869 shares of
common stock issued in the initial closing of the private placement.
As
a
result of the Exchange and the shares of common stock issued in the initial
closing of the private placement, on June 30, 2006, the stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to the Exchange owned 4,005,177 shares of common
stock, equivalent to approximately 16% of the issued and outstanding shares
of
the Company’s common stock, and the Company is now controlled by the former
stockholder of Lixte.
The
Share
Exchange Agreement was determined through arms-length negotiations between
SRKP,
the Seller and Lixte. In connection with the Exchange, the Company paid WestPark
Capital, Inc. a cash fee of $50,000.
Private
Placement
On
June
30, 2006, concurrently with the closing of the Exchange, the Company sold an
aggregate of 1,973,869 shares of its common stock to 26 accredited investors
in
an initial closing of its private placement at a per share price of $0.333,
resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $657,299. The Company
paid to WestPark Capital, Inc., as placement agent, a commission of 10% and
a
non-accountable fee of 4% of the gross proceeds of the private placement and
issued five-year warrants to purchase common stock equal to (a) 10% of the
number of shares sold in the private placement exercisable at $0.333 per share
and (b) an additional 2% of the number of shares sold in the private placement
also exercisable at $0.333 per share. A total of 236,864 warrants were issued.
Net cash proceeds to the Company, after the deduction of all private placement
offering costs and expenses, were $522,939.
11
On
July
27, 2006, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,581,351 shares of its common stock
to 31 accredited investors in a second closing of the private placement at
a per
share price of $0.333 resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company
of
$526,590. The Company paid to WestPark Capital, Inc., as placement agent, a
commission of 10% and a non-accountable fee of 4% of the gross proceeds of
the
private placement and issued five-year warrants to purchase common stock equal
to (a) 10% of the number of shares sold in the private placement exercisable
at
$0.333 per share and (b) an additional 2% of the number of shares sold in the
private placement also exercisable at $0.333 per share. A total of 189,762
warrants were issued. Net cash proceeds to the Company were $427,925.
In
conjunction with the private placement of common stock, the Company issued
a
total of 426,626 five-year warrants to WestPark Capital, Inc. exercisable at
the
per share price of the common stock sold in the private placement ($0.333 per
share). The warrants issued to WestPark Capital, Inc. do not contain any price
anti-dilution provisions. However, such warrants contain demand registration
rights (but no financial penalty associated therewith) and cashless exercise
provisions. The fair value of the warrants, as calculated pursuant to the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $132,254 ($0.31 per
share). Based on the foregoing, the warrants have been accounted for as
equity.
The
fair
value of the aforementioned warrants was calculated using the following
Black-Scholes input variables: stock price on date of grant - $0.333; exercise
price - $0.333; expected life - 5 years; expected volatility - 150%; expected
dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest rate - 5%.
Stock
Options
On
June
30, 2006, effective with the closing of the Exchange, the Company granted to
Dr.
Philip Palmedo, an outside director of the Company, stock options to purchase
an
aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock, exercisable for a period of five
years at $0.333 per share, with one-third of the options (66,666 shares) vesting
immediately upon joining the Board and one-third vesting annually on each of
June 30, 2007 and 2008. The fair value of these options, as calculated pursuant
to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $62,000 ($0.31
per share), of which $20,666 was charged to operations on June 30, 2006, and
the
remaining $41,334 will be charged to operations ratably from July 1, 2006
through June 30, 2008. During the three months and nine months ended September
30, 2006, the Company recorded a charge to operations of $5,167 and $25,833,
respectively, with respect to these options.
On
June
30, 2006, effective with the closing of the Exchange, the Company also granted
to Dr. Palmedo additional stock options to purchase 190,000 shares of common
stock exercisable for a period of five years at $0.333 per share for services
rendered in developing the business plan for Lixte, all of which were fully
vested upon issuance. The fair value of these options, as calculated pursuant
to
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $58,900 ($0.31
per
share), and was charged to operations at June 30, 2006.
On
June
30, 2006, effective with the closing of the Exchange, the Company granted to
certain members of its Scientific Advisory Committee stock options to purchase
an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable for a period of
five
years at $0.333 per share, with one-half of the options vesting annually on
each
of June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008. The fair value of these options, as
calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was initially
determined to be $31,000 ($0.31 per share). The fair value of such options
will
be charged to operations ratably from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2008. In
accordance with EITF 96-18, options granted to committee members are valued
each
reporting period to determine the amount to be recorded as an expense in the
respective period. On September 30, 2006, the fair value of these options,
as
calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined
to
be $30,000 ($0.30 per share) which resulted in a charge to operations of $3,750
during three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006. As the options
vest, they will be valued one final time on each vesting date and an adjustment
will be recorded for the difference between the value already recorded and
the
then current value on the date of vesting.
12
On
June
30, 2006, the fair value of the aforementioned stock options was initially
calculated using the following Black-Scholes input variables: stock price on
date of grant - $0.333; exercise price - $0.333; expected life - 5 years;
expected volatility - 150%; expected dividend yield - 0%; risk-free interest
rate - 5%. On September 30, 2006, the Black-Scholes input variables utilized
to
determine the fair value of the aforementioned stock options were deemed to
be
the same as at June 30, 2006, except for an expected life of 4.75 years.
4.
Related Party Transactions
Since
inception, Lixte’s founding stockholder has periodically made advances to the
Company to meet operating expenses. Such advances are non-interest-bearing
and
are due on demand. At December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, stockholder
advances totaled $5,946 and $92,717, respectively.
Through
September 30, 2006, the Company’s office facilities have been provided without
charge by the Company’s President. Such costs were not material to the financial
statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein.
Through
September 30, 2006, the Company’s President did not receive any compensation
from the Company in view of the Company’s early stage status and limited
activities. Any future compensation arrangements will be subject to the approval
of the Board of Directors.
The
President of the Company is involved in other business activities and may,
in
the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become
available. Accordingly, such person may face a conflict in selecting between
the
Company and his other business interests. The Company has not formulated a
policy for the resolution of such potential conflicts.

Commitments and Contingencies
Effective
March 22, 2006, Lixte entered into a Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (the “CRADA”) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
as represented by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(“NINDS”) of the National Institutes of Health. The CRADA is for a term of two
years from the effective date and may be unilaterally terminated by either
party
by providing written notice within sixty days. Pursuant to the CRADA, Lixte
agreed to provide total payments of $400,000 over the term of the CRADA. The
CRADA provides for the collaboration between the parties in the identification
and evaluation of agents that target the Nuclear Receptor CoRepressor (N-CoR)
pathway for glioma cell differentiation. The CRADA also provided that NINDS
and
Lixte will conduct research to determine if expression of N-CoR correlates
with
prognosis in glioma patients.
13
Pursuant
to the CRADA, Lixte agreed to provide funds under the CRADA in the amount of
$200,000 per year to fund two technical assistants for the technical,
statistical and administrative support for the research activities, as well
as
to pay for supplies and travel expenses. The first installment of $200,000
was
due within 180 days of the effective date and was paid in full on July 6, 2006.
The second installment of $200,000 is due within thirty days of the first
anniversary of the effective date.

Recent
Events
On
June
30, 2006, Lixte Biotechnology, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation
(“Lixte”), completed a reverse merger transaction with SRKP 7, Inc. (“SRKP”), a
public “shell” company, whereby Lixte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SRKP.
For financial reporting purposes, Lixte was considered the accounting acquirer
in the merger and the merger was accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly,
the historical financial statements presented herein are those of Lixte and
do
not include the historical financial results of SRKP. All costs associated
with
the reverse merger transaction were expensed as incurred. Unless the context
indicates otherwise, SRKP and Lixte are hereinafter referred to as the
“Company”. On August 28, 2006, the Company advised its stockholders that the
Board of Directors and majority stockholder have approved an amendment to the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation that will change the name of the
corporation to Lixte Biotechnology Holdings, Inc.
Overview
Lixte
was
incorporated in Delaware on August 9, 2005 to capitalize on opportunities to
develop low cost, specific and sensitive tests for the early detection of
cancers to better estimate prognosis, to monitor treatment response, and to
reveal targets for development of more effective treatments.
The
Company is concentrating on discovering biomarkers for common cancers for which
better diagnostic and therapeutic measures are needed. For each of these
diseases, a biomarker that would enable identification of the presence of cancer
at a stage curable by surgery could possibly save thousands of lives annually.
In addition, biomarkers specific to these diseases may also provide clues as
to
processes (biological pathways) that characterize specific cancer types and
that
may be vulnerable to drug treatment targeted to the activity of the
biomarker.
14
The
Company’s initial focus is on developing new treatments for the most common and
most aggressive type of primary brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”).
Lixte entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (“CRADA”)
with the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke (“NINDS”) of the
National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) to identify and evaluate drugs that target
a specific biochemical pathway for GBM cell differentiation. The CRADA also
covers research to determine whether expression of a component of this pathway
correlates with prognosis in glioma patients.
The
lead
scientist at NINDS collaborating with Lixte under the CRADA is Dr. Zhengping
Zhuang. Dr. Zhuang is internationally recognized for his research in molecular
pathology. Dr. Zhuang has four issued and two pending patents related to
molecular pathology of human cancers. Dr. Zhuang recently discovered a biomarker
of relevance to the growth of GBMs that Lixte believes can be used as a tool
for
identifying drugs that affect the growth of GBM cells. Under the CRADA, Lixte
will support two persons at NIH to work under the direction of Dr. Zhuang.
The
goal is to identify drugs that inhibit GBM cell growth and to determine if
the
identified biomarker may be useful for estimation of prognosis. Lixte’s
contribution to the collaborative research done by Lixte and NIH is $200,000
annually for two years to fund two research assistants expected to be at the
post-doctoral level, as well as supplies and travel expenses.
Lixte
sponsored the development and submission of a provisional patent application
filed February 6, 2006 (the “Provisional Patent Application”) naming as
co-inventors Dr. Zhuang, several other NIH investigators, and Dr. John S.
Kovach. When the final patent application is filed in early 2007, the named
inventors will assign their rights in the inventions to their employers, meaning
that any patent (or patents) arising out of the application will be jointly
owned by the U.S. Government and Lixte. Lixte is currently in negotiations
with
the NIH to obtain the exclusive commercial rights to the inventions covered
by
the Provisional Patent Application. As its research progresses, Lixte expects
to
file further patent applications relating to the categories of products
described below. Patent applications arising out of research pursuant to the
CRADA are likely to be jointly owned by Lixte and the U.S. Government. In such
cases of joint ownership, Lixte will likely seek to obtain the exclusive
commercial rights to those inventions
The
Company expects that its products will derive directly from its intellectual
property, which will consist of the Provisional Patent Application and other
patents that it anticipates will arise out of its research activities. These
patents are expected to cover biomarkers uniquely associated with the specific
types of cancer, patents on methods to identify drugs that inhibit growth of
specific tumor types, and combinations of drugs and potential drugs and
potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of specific cancers.
The
Company faces several potential challenges in its efforts to achieve commercial
success, including raising sufficient capital to fund its business plan,
achieving commercially applicable results of its research program, continued
access to tissue and blood samples from cancer patients, competition from more
established, well-funded companies with competitive technologies, and future
competition from companies that are developing competitive technologies, some
of
whom are larger companies with greater capital resources than the
Company.
There
is
substantial uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to fund its operations and
continue as a going concern (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Going
Concern” below).
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
Company prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made.
Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on
various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different
assumptions or conditions.
15
The
following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments
and
estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Research
and Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred. Amounts due on research and
development contracts with third parties are recorded as a liability, with
the
related amount of such contracts recorded as advances on research and
development contract services on the Company’s balance sheet. Such advances on
research and development contract services are expensed over their life on
the
straight-line basis, unless the achievement of milestones, the completion of
contracted work, or other information indicates that a different expensing
schedule is more appropriate.
Stock-Based
Compensation
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" (“SFAS 123R”).
SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock
options to employees, to be recognized in the financial statements based on
their grant date fair values. The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January
1,
2006. Lixte did not have any stock options or warrants issued or outstanding
at
December 31, 2005.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences
between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and
liabilities.
For
federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses must be deferred until
the Company commences business operations and then they may be written off
over
a 60-month period. These expenses will not be deducted for tax purposes and
will
represent a deferred tax asset. The Company will provide a valuation allowance
for the full amount of the deferred tax asset since there is no assurance of
future taxable income. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20
years
until utilized.
Results
of Operations - Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30,
2006
Comparative
financial statements for the interim periods ended September 30, 2005 reflect
the results of operations of Lixte for the period August 9, 2005 (inception)
to
September 30, 2005 as Lixte, the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger
transaction, was not formed until August 9, 2005. As such, the operations of
the
Company during these periods, was nominal.
The
Company is a development stage company and has not yet commenced revenue
generating operations.
General
and Administrative. For the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2006, general and administrative expenses were $62,251 and $201,104,
respectively, which included $8,917 and $88,483 in the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, for the vested portion of the
fair value of stock options issued to a director and certain members of the
Company’s Scientific Advisory Committee on June 30, 2006. Significant components
of general and administrative expenses to date consist of board compensation
and
legal and accounting fees.
16
Depreciation.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, depreciation
expense was $115 and $334, respectively.
Research
and Development Costs. Effective March 22, 2006, Lixte entered into a
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (the “CRADA”) with the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, as represented by National Institute
of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke (“NINDS”) of the National Institutes of
Health. The CRADA is for a term of two years from the effective date and may
be
unilaterally terminated by either party by providing written notice within
sixty
days. Pursuant to the CRADA, Lixte agreed to provide total payments of $400,000
over the term of the CRADA.
The
current amount due pursuant to the CRADA was recorded as a liability, with
the
related amount of such contract recorded as advances on research and development
contract services on the Company’s balance sheet. Such advances on research and
development contract services are expensed over their life on the straight-line
basis, unless the achievement of milestones, the completion of contracted work,
or other information indicates that a different expensing schedule is more
appropriate. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
research and development costs expensed were $50,100 and $100,100,
respectively.
Reverse
Merger Costs. On June 30, 2006, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated
as
of June 8, 2006 by and among SRKP, John S. Kovach and Lixte, SRKP issued
19,021,786 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Lixte, and Lixte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
SRKP.
In connection with this transaction, the Company paid WestPark Capital, Inc.
a
cash fee of $50,000, which was charged to operations during the nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
Net
Loss.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company
incurred a net loss of $108,878 and $334,960, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources - September 30, 2006
Going
Concern
At
September 30, 2006, the Company had not yet commenced any revenue-generating
operations and was therefore considered a “development stage company”. All
activity through September 30, 2006 related to the Company’s formation, capital
raising efforts and initial research and development activities. As such, the
Company has yet to generate any cash flows from operations, and is essentially
dependent on debt and equity funding from both related and unrelated parties
to
finance its operations. Prior to June 30 2006, cash requirements were funded
by
advances from Lixte’s founder. On June 30, 2006, the Company completed an
initial closing of its private placement, selling 1,973,869 shares of common
stock at a price of $0.333 per share and receiving net proceeds of $522,939.
On
July 27, 2006, the Company completed a second closing of its private placement,
selling 1,581,351 shares of common stock at a price of $0.333 per share and
receiving net proceeds of $427,925.
Because
the Company is currently engaged in research at a very early stage, it will
likely take a significant amount of time to develop any product or intellectual
property capable of generating revenues. As such, the Company’s business is
unlikely to generate any revenue in the next several years and may never do
so.
Even if the Company is able to generate revenues in the future through licensing
its technologies or through product sales, there can be no assurance that such
revenues will exceed its expenses.
Based
on
the proceeds received from the private placement, the Company may not have
sufficient resources to completely fund its planned operations for the next
twelve months. The Company does not have sufficient resources to fully develop
and commercialize any products that may arise from its research. Accordingly,
the Company will need to raise additional funds in order to satisfy its future
working capital requirements. In the short-term, in addition to the net proceeds
from the private placement, the Company estimates that it will approximately
require additional funding of approximately $2,300,000. Additionally, the amount
and timing of future cash requirements will depend on market acceptance of
the
Company’s products, if any, and the resources that the Company devotes to
developing and supporting its products. The Company will need to fund these
cash
requirements from either one or a combination of additional financings, mergers
or acquisitions, or via the sale or license of certain of its assets.
17
Current
market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to secure
additional funds, as well as its ability to reach profitability. There can
be no
assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing, or
obtain favorable terms on such financing if it is available, or as to its
ability to achieve positive cash flow from operations. Continued negative cash
flows and lack of liquidity create significant uncertainty about the Company’s
ability to fully implement its operating plan and the Company may have to reduce
the scope of its planned operations. If cash and cash equivalents are
insufficient to satisfy the Company’s liquidity requirements, the Company would
be required to scale back or discontinue its product development program, or
obtain funds if available through strategic alliances that may require the
Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or discontinue
its
operations.
Operating
Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, operating activities
utilized cash of $381,106.
The
Company had working capital of $741,343 at September 30, 2006, as compared
to a
working capital deficiency of $15,650 at December 31, 2005, primarily as a
result of the Company’s private placement closings on June 30, 2006 and July 27,
2006, which generated net proceeds of $522,939 and $427,925,
respectively.
Investing
Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, investing activities
utilized net cash of $238 for the purchase of office equipment.
Financing
Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, financing activities
provided net cash of $1,100,135, consisting of the gross proceeds from the
sale
of common stock of $1,183,889, the cash acquired in the reverse merger
transaction of $62,500, and advances from stockholder of $86,771, reduced by
the
payment of private placement offering costs of $233,025.
Principal
Commitments
At
September 30, 2006, the Company did not have any material commitments for
capital expenditures. The Company’s principal commitment at September 30, 2006
consisted of the second installment on its CRADA of $200,000 which is due and
payable in April 2007.
Effective
March 22, 2006, Lixte entered into a Cooperative Research and Development
Agreement (the “CRADA”) with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
as represented by National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(“NINDS”) of the National Institutes of Health. The CRADA is for a term of two
years from the effective date and may be unilaterally terminated by either
party
by providing written notice within sixty days. Pursuant to the CRADA, Lixte
agreed to provide total payments of $400,000 over the term of the CRADA.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
At
September 30, 2006, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations
or
relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet
arrangements.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“SFAS No. 157”), which establishes a formal framework for measuring fair value
under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 defines and codifies the many definitions of fair
value
included among various other authoritative literature, clarifies and, in some
instances, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements,
and
increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although
SFAS No. 157 applies to and amends the provisions of existing FASB and AICPA
pronouncements, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements,
nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS No. 157 applies to all other
accounting pronouncements requiring or permitting fair value measurements,
except for: SFAS No. 123(R), share-based payment and related pronouncements,
the
practicability exceptions to fair value determinations allowed by various other
authoritative pronouncements, and AICPA Statements of Position 97-2 and 98-9
that deal with software revenue recognition. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years.
