Note
1: Description of Business
Delcath
Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development stage company that develops and
manufactures an innovative device designed to administer high dose chemotherapy
and other therapeutic agents to diseased organs or regions of the body.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1988 and since
its inception has focused its efforts on the development of a single product,
the Delcath Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) System™, for the treatment of
tumors of the liver.
In 2006,
the Company began a Phase III clinical trial to support a pre-market approval
application for use of the Delcath PHP System™ with melphalan, a chemotherapy
agent, for the treatment of metastatic melanoma that has spread to the liver.
The trial is ongoing, and the Company hopes to complete enrollment of the
trial in 2009. In 2004, the Company began a multi-arm Phase II clinical trial
for use of the Delcath PHP System™ with certain other cancers that have spread
to the liver and metastatic melanomas that have spread to the liver and have
received certain prior regional treatment. The Company is focusing on
enrolling patients in the neuroendocrine arm of that study. The other
two arms treating metastatic adenocarcinomas and primary liver cancer will be
refocused so as to optimize the progress of those arms of the trial. In
September 2008, the Company received approval from the FDA to begin a clinical
trial that will focus on the effectiveness of the Delcath PHP System™ in
administering high-dose doxorubicin as compared with standard systemic treatment
with sorafenib for the treatment of primary liver cancer.

2: Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The
accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by
the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have
been condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements, in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s results of operations, financial
position and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
and cumulative from inception (August 5, 1988) to June 30, 2009. In connection
with the preparation of the condensed financial statements and in accordance
with the recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), the Company evaluated subsequent
events after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009 through July 23,
2009.
The
results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal
year. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2008, which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2009 (the “2008 Form
10-K”).
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2008 financial statement presentation in
order to correspond to the presentation of the June 30, 2009 financial
statements.

Note
3: Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2009, the
Company adopted SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities,” which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about
(a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
The adoption of SFAS 161 did not have a material impact on the condensed
financial statements.

5: Investment in Marketable Equity Securities
In
January 2008, the Company entered into a research and development agreement with
Aethlon Medical, Inc., (“AEMD”) a publicly traded company whose securities are
quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. As part of this
agreement, the Company received 100,000 shares of restricted common stock of
AEMD. The Company allocated $46,200 of the cost of the
agreement to the fair value of the common stock acquired, using the closing
stock price at the date of the agreement and then discounting that value due to
certain sale restrictions on the stock being held. In September 2008,
the sale restriction on the stock being held had lapsed and as a result the fair
value of the stock is no longer being discounted. The investment is
classified as an available for sale security and had a fair value on June 30,
2009 of $36,000 which included a gross unrealized loss of $10,200, which is
included as a component of comprehensive loss.

Stockholders’
Equity
|
In June
2009, the Company granted an employee 10,000 options with a grant date exercise
price equal to the common stock value at the date of grant. The per share
weighted average fair value of the five-year stock option grant was $1.86,
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All
of these options vested immediately. The expected term was estimated using a
midpoint between the date of grant and the expiration date as required by the
Simplified Method of term calculation in
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
accordance
with SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” The weighted-average
assumption of a risk free interest rate of 1.63% was based on the implied yield
available on a U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the estimated term
of the underlying options as indicated above. The expected volatility of 85.05%
was estimated based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s share price
over the length of time equal to the expected term of the options. The Company
used a dividend yield percentage of zero based on the fact that the Company has
not paid dividends in the past nor does it expect to pay dividends in the
foreseeable future. The Company recognized compensation expense
totaling $18,622 upon grant of these fully vested options.
In
January 2009, the Company granted 50,000 options to its former President and
Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the terms of his employment
agreement. The options have a grant date exercise price equal to the
common stock value at the date of grant. The per share weighted average fair
value of the five-year stock option grant was $0.56, estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All of these options vested
immediately. The expected term was estimated using a midpoint between the date
of grant and the expiration date as required by the Simplified Method of term
calculation in accordance with SFAS 123R. The weighted-average assumption of a
risk free interest rate of 1.01% was based on the implied yield available on a
U.S. Treasury note with a term equal to the estimated term of the underlying
options as indicated above. The expected volatility of 74.83% was estimated
based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s share price over the
length of time equal to the expected term of the options. The Company used a
dividend yield percentage of zero based on the fact that the Company has not
paid dividends in the past nor does it expect to pay dividends in the
foreseeable future. The Company recognized compensation expense
totaling $28,076 upon grant of these fully vested options.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense of
$36,929 relating to options granted in previous years. For the six months ended
June 30, 2009, the Company recognized compensation expense of $73,857 relating
to options granted in previous years.
In July
2008, the Company granted 200,000 restricted shares of common stock in
accordance with an agreement with our Chief Medical Officer. These shares had an
issuance value of $2.42 per share and vest incrementally over three years. The
Company has recognized compensation expense totaling $80,667 for 2009, $40,333
in each quarter, relating to these shares.
In June
2009, the Company completed the sale of 869,565 shares of its common stock and
the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,043,478 common shares (the “2009
Warrants”) pursuant to a subscription agreement with a single investor. The
Company received gross proceeds of $2,999,999 and estimates the net cash
proceeds after related expenses from this transaction will be $2,674,399. Of
those proceeds, the Company allocated an estimated fair value of $2,190,979 to
the 2009 Warrants (see below), resulting in estimated net proceeds of $483,420.
The fair value of the 2009 Warrants on June 15, 2009 was determined by using the
Black-Scholes model assuming a risk free interest rate of 2.75%, volatility of
72.93% and an expected life equal to the contractual life of the warrants (June
2014). The 2009 Warrants are exercisable at $3.99 per share and have a five-year
term. The shares and warrants were offered pursuant to an effective registration
statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on May 25, 2007 (333-143280), effective
June 7, 2007, as amended by a registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the
SEC and effective on June 10, 2009 (333-159857).
In
September 2007, the Company completed the sale of 3,833,108 shares of its common
stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,916,554 common shares (the
“2007 Warrants” and together with the 2009 Warrants, the “Warrants”) in a
private placement to institutional and accredited investors. The Company
received net proceeds of $13,303,267
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
in this
transaction. The Company allocated $4,269,000 of the total proceeds to 2007
Warrants (see below). The 2007 Warrants were initially exercisable at $4.53 per
share beginning six months after the issuance thereof and on or prior to the
fifth anniversary of the issuance thereof. As required by the 2007 Warrant
agreement, both the exercise price and number of warrants were adjusted
following the Company’s June 9, 2009 sale of common stock. The 2007 Warrants are
currently exercisable at $3.44 per share with 2,523,834 warrants outstanding.
The shares were offered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 filed
with the SEC on May 25, 2007 and declared effective on June 7, 2007
(333-143280).
The
$2,190,979 in proceeds allocated to the 2009 Warrants and the $4,269,000 in
proceeds allocated to the 2007 Warrants are classified as liabilities in
accordance with SFAS 133 and related interpretations. The terms of the Warrants
provide for potential adjustment in the exercise price and are therefore
considered to be derivative instrument liabilities that are subject to
mark-to-market adjustment each period. As a result, for the six month period
ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax derivative instrument expense
of $4,466,157. The resulting derivative instrument liability totaled $7,105,454
at June 30, 2009. Management expects that the Warrants will either be exercised
or expire worthless, at which point the then existing derivative liability will
be credited to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the Warrants at June 30,
2009 was determined by using the Black-Scholes model assuming a risk free
interest rate of 2.54% for the 2009 Warrants and 1.75% for the 2007 Warrants,
volatility of 73.12% for the 2009 Warrants and 78.25% for the 2007 Warrants and
an expected life equal to the contractual life of the Warrants (June 2014 and
September 2012, respectively).

Stock
Option Plans
|
The
Company established the 2000 Stock Option Plan, the 2001 Stock Option Plan, the
2004 Stock Incentive Plan, and the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the
“Plans”) under which 300,000, 750,000, 3,000,000, and 2,000,000 shares,
respectively, were reserved for the issuance of stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock grants and other equity awards. A
stock option grant allows the holder of the option to purchase a share of the
Company’s common stock in the future at a stated price. The Plans are
administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of
Directors which determines the individuals to whom awards shall be granted as
well as the type, terms and conditions of each award, the option price and the
duration of each award.
During
2000, 2001, 2004 and 2009, respectively, the 2000 and 2001 Stock Option Plans
and the 2004 and 2009 Stock Incentive Plans became effective. Options granted
under the Plans vest as determined by the Company’s Compensation and Stock
Option Committee and expire over varying terms, but not more than ten years from
the date of grant. Stock option activity for the six-month period ended June 30,
2009 is as follows:

Derivative financial
instruments
Currently,
the Company has allocated part of the proceeds of a private placement and of a
registered direct offering to the Warrants issued in connection with both common
stock sales. The Warrants are classified as a liability and accounted
for as a derivative instrument in accordance with SFAS 133. The valuation of the
Warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes model. This model uses inputs
such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised,
volatility, risk free interest rate and the expected life of the
instrument. The Company has determined that the inputs associated
with the fair value determination are readily observable and as a result the
instrument is classified within Level 2 of the fair-value
hierarchy.
Marketable
Equity Securities
The
Company owns 100,000 shares of common stock of AEMD. At June 30,
2009, the valuation of such stock was determined utilizing the current quoted
market price of AEMD. The Company has determined that the quoted market price is
readily observable in an active market and, as a result, the instrument was
classified within Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy.
Money
Market Funds and Certificates of Deposit
Cash and
cash equivalents includes a money market account valued at
$7,340,823.
The
Company also holds certificates of deposit valued at $1,472,928, which are
classified as held to maturity. As such, the certificates of deposit are carried
at amortized cost. The balance reflects a cost basis of $1,440,000 and $32,928
in accrued interest income. The Company has determined that the quoted price
(unadjusted) is readily observable in an active market and, as a result, the
investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy.

The
Company does not have any fair value measurements using significant unobservable
inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2009.
The
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on January 1,
2007. FIN 48 requires that the impact of tax positions be recognized
in the financial statements if they are more likely than not of being sustained
upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. As
discussed in Note 4 to the Company’s audited financial statements
contained in the 2008 Form 10-K, the Company has a valuation
allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax
assets. The Company currently provides a valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The Company has not recognized any unrecognized tax
benefits in its balance sheet under the provisions of FIN 48.
The
Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of certain
state jurisdictions. The Company has not been audited by the United States
Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”) or any states in connection with income
taxes. The periods from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2008 remain open to
examination by the IRS and state authorities.
For the
quarter ending June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a state income tax benefit of
$298,535 in the Statement of Operations. This benefit is a result of New York
legislation, which allows companies to obtain cash refunds from the State of New
York at a rate of 100% of their annual research and development expense credits,
limited to $250,000 per year. Of the total benefit, $173,535 relates to
2008 research and development expense credits and $125,000 relates to the
estimated 2009 quarter to date benefit.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Form
10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking
statements regarding our future performance. All forward-looking
information is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially
from assumptions, estimates or expectations reflected or contained in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set
forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Forward-looking statements
convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. All
statements contained in this Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact
are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include
statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets,
projected costs, plans and objectives of management for future
operations. The words “may,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “will,” “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate” and similar
expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these
words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. With respect to the forward-looking statements, we
claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form
10-Q. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or
future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a
medical technology company that develops and manufactures an innovative device
designed to administer high dose chemotherapy and other therapeutic agents
directly to diseased organs or regions of the body. We are currently
focusing on the development of a single product, the Delcath PHP System™, for
the treatment of tumors of the liver. Based on human clinical data, we believe
that the Delcath PHP System™ allows physicians to deliver significantly higher
chemotherapy doses to the liver than could be administered by conventional
intravenous delivery.
The
Delcath PHP System™ is a disposable kit consisting of various catheters,
filters, and a tubing circuit used during cancer treatment to isolate the liver
from the patient’s general circulatory system. Our system allows for
ultra-high doses of chemotherapy agents to be directed at a patient’s liver
while at the same time limiting the exposure of healthy tissue and organs to the
harmful effects of those chemotherapeutic agents. By providing higher
dosing of chemotherapy agents than would otherwise be possible through
conventional chemotherapy, we believe that treatment with the Delcath PHP
System™ is more effective than conventional treatment at killing cancer cells
and preventing new cancer cell formation.
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.

In 2006,
we began a Phase III clinical trial to support a pre-market approval application
for use of the Delcath PHP System™ with melphalan, a chemotherapy agent, for the
treatment of metastatic melanoma that has spread to the liver. The
trial is being conducted under an FDA Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”) with
the National Cancer Institute (the “NCI”) serving as the coordinating center.
The trial is currently approved for expansion to a maximum of 28 centers. Until
April 2008, the NCI was the sole participating center in the trial. Since then,
eleven centers have joined the trial, bringing the total number of participating
centers to twelve:

the Western Institutional Review Board (“WIRB”) has also approved our
protocol. The WIRB, which provides review services for more than 100
institutions (academic centers, hospitals, networks and in-house biotech
research) in all 50 states and internationally, will help accelerate the
internal review process at a number of the hospitals currently participating in
the study. As of June 30, 2009, we had enrolled a total of 72
patients of the expected 92-patient trial. Between July 1, 2009 and
July 27, 2009 we have enrolled an additional 7 patients, bringing total
enrollment to 79 patients. We expect to complete patient enrollment
in this study in 2009. In 2004, we began a multi-arm Phase II
clinical trial for the use of the Delcath PHP System™ with melphalan in the
treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas as well as neuroendocrine and
adenocarcinoma cancers that have spread to the liver. In 2007, an
additional arm was added to the Phase II trial to treat patients with metastatic
melanomas that have spread to the liver who have received prior surgical
isolated hepatic perfusion. Based on promising initial clinical
results, we plan to focus our efforts on enrolling patients for the treatment of
metastatic neuroendocrine cancer. We have currently enrolled 23 of
the 25 patients required for the neuroendocrine arm of the trial and we
anticipate that we will complete patient enrollment in this arm of the study in
2009.
As
indicated above, the Company is focusing on enrolling patients in the
neuroendocrine arm of the Phase II study. The other two arms treating
adenocarcinoma and primary liver cancer will be refocused so as to optimize the
progress of those arms of the trial. In September 2008, the Company
received approval from the FDA to begin a clinical trial that will focus on the
effectiveness of the Delcath PHP System™ in administering high-dose doxorubicin
as compared with standard systemic treatment with sorafenib for the treatment of
primary liver cancer.
The
successful development of the Delcath PHP System™ is highly uncertain, and
development costs and timelines can vary significantly and are difficult to
accurately predict. Various statutes and regulations also impact the
manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of our
system. The lengthy process of completing clinical trials, seeking
FDA approval and subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations
require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us
to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could materially,
adversely affect our business. To date, we have not received approval
for the sale of our system in any market and, therefore, have not generated any
revenues. The Delcath PHP System™ has not yet been approved by the FDA and may
not be marketed in the United States without FDA pre-market
approval.
Our
expenses generally include costs for clinical studies, securing patents,
regulatory activities, manufacturing, personnel, rent for our facilities, and
general corporate and working capital, including general and administrative
expenses. Because we have no FDA-approved product and no commercial
sales, we will continue to be dependent upon existing cash, the sale of equity
or debt securities, or establishing a strategic alliance with appropriate
partners to fund future activities. We cannot be assured that the pace of
patient enrollment will meet our projections, that we will obtain FDA approval
for our Delcath PHP System™, that we will have, or could raise, sufficient
financial resources to sustain our operations pending FDA approval, or that, if
and when the required approvals are obtained, there will be a market for our
product.
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
The
Company’s expenditures are highly variable and are dependent upon the
number and pace of patients enrolled in our clinical trials. We
expect that the amount of capital required for our trials will continue to
increase over the coming months due to the increased number of patients enrolled
at newly added clinical trial centers. We believe that we have
sufficient capital for operations through 2009 and to complete enrollment of our
ongoing Phase III trial.
We are a
development stage company, and since our inception we have raised approximately
$55.3 million (net of fundraising expenses). We have financed our
operations primarily through public and private placements of equity
securities. We have incurred net losses since we were founded and we
expect to continue to incur significant and increasing net losses over the
year.
As
previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July
7, 2009, effective July 6, 2009, Eamonn Hobbs was appointed President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Hobbs has been a director of the Company
since October 2008. He has over 25 years of experience in the interventional
radiology, interventional cardiology and gastroenterology medical device
industries. Mr. Hobbs replaces Richard Taney, who resigned effective July 6,
2009, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Taney will
continue as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008
We have
operated at a loss for our entire history. We had a net loss for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, of $6,327,626, which is a $3,907,352 increase
in the net loss for the same period in 2008. The increase in net loss
in 2009 is due to a $3,232,727 increase in derivative instrument expense related
to the Warrants, as well as an increase of $1,095,548 in research and
development costs related to the Phase III clinical trial.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by 22.1%, from $699,136 during the three
months ended June 30, 2008 to $544,913 for the three months ended June 30, 2009,
a reduction of $154,223. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in fees
paid to outside consultants.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2009, research and development expenses increased by
100%, from $1,099,488 during the second quarter of 2008 to $2,195,036, an
increase of $1,095,548. This increase is attributed to the continued expansion
and acceleration of our Phase III clinical trial. During the second quarter of
2008 we had one center (the NCI) performing PHP™ treatments. For the same period
of 2009 we have twelve centers participating in our Phase III clinical trial.
The continued expansion of our Phase III clinical trial has created additional
expenses related to patient treatment costs, IRB approvals, and other clinical
expenses.
Interest
income shown is from our money market account and investment in various
certificates of deposit. During the three months ended June 30, 2009,
the Company had interest income of $18,167, as compared to $50,002 for the same
period in 2008. This decrease is due to our reduced cash position as
we continue to direct our funds towards the completion of our Phase III clinical
trial, as well as the overall market conditions which continue to yield a lower
percentage of return on our investments than the same period last
year.
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008
We had a
net loss of $8,773,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This compares to
a net loss of $3,478,020 for the same period of 2008. The increase of $5,295,087
in net loss is related to a nearly $3,992,756 increase in derivative instrument
expense related to the Warrants, as well as a $1,567,782 increase in research
and development costs.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $1,019,876 in expenses related to
our general and administrative operations. This is a 10.5% decrease from the
same period in 2008, when we incurred $1,140,140 in general and administrative
expenses. This decrease is primarily related to a reduction in fees paid to
outside consultants.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, research and development costs increased by
75.1%, from $2,088,444 for the first six months of 2008 to $3,656,226 for the
six months ended June 30, 2009, a $1,567,782 increase. This change is due to the
increasing pace of enrollment in our Phase III clinical trial. As the Company
gets closer to full enrollment of the trial we anticipate expenses related to
the clinical trial and the Company’s preparations for FDA submission to continue
their acceleration.
Interest
income shown is from our money market account and investment in various
certificates of deposit. During the six months ended June 30, 2009,
the Company had interest income of $68,928, as compared to interest income of
$223,965 for the same period in 2008. As discussed above, this
decrease is due to our reduced cash position as we continue to direct our funds
towards the completion of our Phase III trial, as well as the overall market
conditions which continue to yield a lower percentage of return on our
investments than the same period last year.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Our
future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. We
have operated at a loss for our entire history and we anticipate that losses
will continue for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance
that we will ever generate significant revenues or achieve
profitability. We expect to use cash, cash equivalents and investment
proceeds to fund our operating activities. Our future liquidity and
capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the progress of
our research and product development programs, including our ongoing Phase II
and Phase III clinical trials; the timing and costs of making various United
States and foreign regulatory filings, obtaining approvals and complying with
regulations; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization
activities, including marketing arrangements overseas; the timing and costs
involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual
property rights; and the effect of competing technological and market
developments. We continue to move forward aggressively, most notably by adding
new sites to our ongoing clinical trials and increasing our efforts to enroll
additional patients in these trials. As we seek FDA approval and get
our product to market we expect that our capital expenditures will increase
significantly.
At June
30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,435,673, as compared to
$6,939,233 at December 31, 2008. Nearly all of our
available funds are invested in money market accounts and certificates of
deposit.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, we used $4,786,573 of cash in our operating
activities. This amount compares to $2,744,829 used in our operating activities
during the comparable six month period in 2008. The increase of
$2,041,744, or 74%, is primarily due to accelerated clinical development costs
related to all facets of the Phase III clinical trials
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
and the
Delcath PHP System™. We expect that our cash allocated to operating
activities will continually increase as we aggressively move toward the full
enrollment and completion of our first Phase III clinical trial, and continue to
navigate the extensive FDA approval process. We believe we have sufficient
capital to fund our current clinical trials through 2009.
At June
30, 2009, the Company’s accumulated deficit was approximately $56.1
million. Because our business does not generate any positive cash
flow from operating activities, we will likely need to continue raising
additional capital in order to develop our product beyond the current clinical
trials or to fund development efforts relating to new products. We
anticipate that we could raise additional capital in the event that we find it
in our best interest to do so. We anticipate raising such additional capital by
either borrowing money, selling shares of our capital stock, or entering into
strategic alliances with appropriate partners. To the extent
additional capital is not available when we need it, we may be forced to abandon
some or all of our development and commercialization efforts, which would have a
material adverse effect on the prospects of our business. Further,
our assumptions relating to our cash requirements may differ materially from
those planned because of a number of factors, including significant unforeseen
delays in the regulatory approval process, changes in the focus and direction of
our clinical trials and costs related to commercializing our
product.
We have
funded our operations through a combination of private placements of our
securities and through the proceeds of our public offerings in 2000 and 2003
along with our registered direct offerings in 2007 and 2009. Please
see the detailed discussion of our various sales of securities described in Note
3 to the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2008 Form 10-K
and in Note 6 to the Company’s condensed financial statements contained in this
Form 10-Q.
In June
2009, the Company completed the sale of 869,565 shares of its common stock and
the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,043,478 common shares (the 2009 Warrants)
pursuant to a subscription agreement with a single investor. The Company
received gross proceeds of $2,999,999 and estimates the net cash proceeds after
related expenses from this transaction will be $2,674,399. Of those proceeds,
the Company allocated an estimated fair value of $2,190,979 to the 2009 Warrants
(see below), resulting in estimated net proceeds of $483,420. The fair value of
the 2009 Warrants on June 15, 2009 was determined by using the Black-Scholes
model assuming a risk free interest rate of 2.75%, volatility of 72.93% and an
expected life equal to the contractual life of the warrants (June 2014). The
2009 Warrants are exercisable at $3.99 per share and have a five-year term. The
shares and warrants were offered pursuant to an effective registration statement
on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on May 25, 2007 (333-143280), effective June 7,
2007, as amended by a registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC and
effective on June 10, 2009 (333-159857).
In June
2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which
will allow the Company to offer and sell, from time to time in one or more
offerings up to $60,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, stock purchase
contracts, warrants and debt securities as it deems prudent or necessary to
raise capital at a later date. The registration statement became effective on
June 23, 2009 (333-159913). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from any
future offerings under the registration for general corporate purposes,
including, but not limited to, funding our clinical trials, capital
expenditures, working capital, repayment of debt and investments. Because the
maximum aggregate offering price of all securities registered is $60,000,000,
the Company’s issuance of any securities will reduce the amount of other
securities that it can issue pursuant to the registration statement on Form
S-3.

Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Certain accounting policies have a significant impact on
amounts reported in the financial statements. A summary of those
significant accounting policies can be found in Note 1 to the Company’s
financial statements contained in the 2008 Form 10-K. We are still in
the development stage and have no revenues, trade receivables, inventories, or
significant fixed or intangible assets, and therefore have very limited
opportunities to choose among accounting policies or methods. In many
cases, we must use an accounting policy or method because it is the only policy
or method permitted under GAAP.
Additionally,
we devote substantial resources to clinical trials and other research and
development activities related to obtaining FDA and other approvals for the
Delcath PHP System™, the cost of which is required to be charged to expense as
incurred. This further limits our choice of accounting policies and
methods. Similarly, management believes there are very limited
circumstances in which our financial statement estimates are significant or
critical.
We
consider the valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets to be a significant
accounting estimate. In applying SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes,” management estimates future taxable income from operations and tax
planning strategies in determining if it is more likely than not that we will
realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. Management believes
the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions as defined under FIN
48.
The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R
establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services.
Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, share-based compensation is measured at the
grant date, based upon the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an
expense over the option holders’ requisite service period (generally the vesting
period of the equity grant). Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the
modified prospective approach and, accordingly, prior period amounts have not
been restated. Under this approach, the Company is required to record
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted after the date of
adoption based upon the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R, and for the unvested portion of all share-based
payments previously granted that remain outstanding based on the grant date fair
value, estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS
123. The Company has expensed its share-based compensation for
share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006 under the ratable method,
which treats each vesting tranche as if it were an individual
grant.
On
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,”
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies
to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value
under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not
require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. The
adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the carrying values of
the Company’s assets.
SFAS 157
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined
based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability. As a basis for considering market participant
assumptions in fair value measurements, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
(observable
inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the
reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions
(unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Level 1
inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are
inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as
inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted
prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that
are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entity’s own
assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances
where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to
the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers
factors specific to the asset or liability. See Note 8 to the Company’s
condensed financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q for assets and
liabilities the Company has evaluated under SFAS 157.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
|
We may be
exposed to market risk through changes in market interest rates that could
affect the value of our investments. However, the Company’s
marketable securities consist of short-term and/or variable rate instruments
and, therefore, a change in interest rates would not have a material impact on
the fair value of our investment portfolio or related income.
In
January 2008, the Company entered into a research and development agreement with
AEMD, a publicly traded company whose securities are quoted on the Over the
Counter Bulletin Board. As part of this agreement, the Company
received 100,000 shares of restricted common stock of AEMD. The Company
allocated $46,200 of the cost of the agreement to the fair value of the common
stock acquired, using the closing stock price at the date of the agreement and
then discounting that value due to certain sale restrictions on the stock being
held. During the quarter ending September 30, 2008, the restrictions
on the common stock held lapsed and as a result the fair value of the stock is
calculated using the closing stock price (unadjusted) at June 30,
2009. The investment is classified as an available for sale security
and had a fair value on June 30, 2009 of $36,000, which included a gross
unrealized loss of $10,200, which is included as a component of comprehensive
loss.
The
Company measures all derivatives, including certain derivatives embedded in
contracts, at fair value and recognizes them on the balance sheet as an asset or
a liability, depending on the Company’s rights and obligations under the
applicable derivative contract.
In June
2009, the Company completed the sale of 869,565 shares of its common stock and
the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,043,478 common shares (the 2009 Warrants)
in a subscription agreement with a single investor. The Company received gross
proceeds of $2,999,999 and estimates the net cash proceeds after related
expenses from this transaction will be $2,674,399. Of those proceeds, the
Company allocated an estimated fair value of $2,190,979 to the 2009 Warrants,
resulting in estimated net proceeds of $483,420. The fair value of the 2009
Warrants on June 15, 2009 was determined by using the Black-Scholes model
assuming a risk free interest rate of 2.75%, volatility of 72.93% and an
expected life
DELCATH
SYSTEMS, INC.
(A
Development Stage Company)
equal to
the contractual life of the 2009 Warrants (June 2014). The 2009
Warrants are exercisable at $3.99 per share and have a five-year
term.
In
September 2007, the Company completed the sale of 3,833,108 shares of its common
stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase 1,916,554 common shares (the 2007
Warrants) in a private placement to institutional and accredited investors. The
Company received net proceeds of $13,303,267 in this transaction. The Company
allocated $4,269,000 of the total proceeds to the 2007 Warrants. The 2007
Warrants were initially exercisable at $4.53 per share beginning six months
after the issuance thereof and on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the
issuance thereof. As required by the 2007 Warrant agreement, both the exercise
price and number of warrants were adjusted following the Company’s June 9, 2009
sale of common stock. The 2007 Warrants are currently exercisable at $3.44 per
share with 2,523,834 warrants outstanding.
The
$2,190,979 in proceeds allocated to the 2009 Warrants and the $4,269,000 in
proceeds allocated to the 2007 Warrants are classified as liabilities in
accordance with SFAS 133 and related interpretations. The terms of the 2007
Warrants and the 2009 Warrants provide for potential adjustment in the exercise
price and are therefore considered to be derivative instrument liabilities that
are subject to mark-to-market adjustment each period. As a result, for the six
month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded pre-tax derivative
instrument expense of $4,466,157. The resulting derivative instrument liability
totaled $7,105,454 at June 30, 2009. Management expects that the warrants will
either be exercised or expire worthless, at which point the then existing
derivative liability will be credited to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of
the Warrants at June 30, 2009 was determined by using the Black-Scholes model
assuming a risk free interest rate of 2.54% for the 2009 Warrants and 1.75% for
the 2007 Warrants, volatility of 73.12% for the 2009 Warrants and 78.25% for the
2007 Warrants and an expected life equal to the contractual life of the Warrants
(June 2014 and September 2012, respectively).
Based on
an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures performed by
the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as of
the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
As used
herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures
of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
rules and forms issued by the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and
its principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar
functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred
during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
