Operations and Organization
 
Operations
 
Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”, “Rexahn Pharmaceuticals”), a Delaware corporation, is a development stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative treatments for cancer, central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, sexual dysfunction and other medical needs.  The Company had an accumulated deficit of $50,175,824 at March 31, 2011 and anticipates incurring losses through the remainder of fiscal 2011 and beyond.  The Company has not yet generated commercial sales revenue and has been able to fund its operating losses to date through the sale of its common stock, warrants exercisable for common stock, units, issuance of long-term debt, and proceeds from reimbursed research and development costs.  Management has the capability of managing the Company’s operations within existing cash available by reducing research and development activities.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of operations, changes and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been included.  Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K/A”).
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future.  Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.

2.        Prior Period Adjustment
 
The financial statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010 have been restated as a result of management’s determination that the Company had misclassified warrants issued to investors through offerings occurring in December 2007, March 2008, June 2009 and October 2009.  The warrants were previously reported as equity, but further review by management concluded that these warrants should have been classified as liabilities at inception due to provisions within the warrant agreements, and should be reported at fair value at the balance sheet date.
 
Management also determined that the anti-dilution make whole provision (the “Anti-dilution provision”) which is a put on the common stock, issued in the 2007 and 2008 offerings were also misclassified as equity.  In the event that the Company issued shares or share indexed contracts below an effective purchase price paid by the investors, the investor would receive additional shares equal to a ratio of the initial purchase price per share less the original number of common shares issued.  The Anti-dilution provision expires on the second anniversary of the financing and should have been reported as a liability at fair value at inception.
 
The restatement had no effect on the Company’s cash, loss from operations or net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  After reviewing the circumstances leading up to the restatement, management believes that the errors were inadvertent and unintentional.  In addition, following the discovery of these errors, the Company began implementing procedures intending to strengthen its internal control processes and prevent a recurrence of these errors.
 
The effects of the restatement on the Company’s statement of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:

3.        Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires, in both interim and annual financial statements, for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis disclosures regarding the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measurements.  It also requires separate disclosures of significant amounts transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and a description of the reasons for the transfers.  This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011 and is required to be applied prospectively to new or significantly modified revenue arrangements.
 
Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions.   Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive.  Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated.  An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones, and each milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive.  This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.  The Company believes that there is no current impact to the financial statements.

9.        Deferred Revenue
 
In 2003, the Company entered into a collaborative research agreement with Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd. (“Rexgene”), a shareholder.  Rexgene is engaged in the development of pharmaceutical products in Asia and has agreed to assist the Company with the research, development and clinical trials necessary for registration of the Company’s drug candidate, Archexin, in Asia.  This agreement provides Rexgene with exclusive rights to license, sublicense, make, have made, use, sell and import Archexin in Asia.  A one-time contribution to the joint development and research of Archexin of $1,500,000 was paid to the Company in 2003 in accordance with the agreement.  The amount of revenue from this contribution is being recognized as income over the term of the agreement which terminates at the later of 20 years or the term of the patent on the licensed product.
 
The Company is using 20 years as its basis for recognition and accordingly $18,750 was included in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  The remaining $881,250 and $900,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is reflected as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.  The contribution is being used in the cooperative funding of the costs of development of Archexin. Royalties of 3% of net sales of licensed products will become payable to the Company on a quarterly basis once commercial sales of Archexin begin in Asia.  The product is still under development and commercial sales in Asia are not expected to begin until at least 2012.  Under the terms of the agreement, Rexgene does not receive royalties on Company net sales in the U.S.
 
10.      Other Liabilities
 
Deferred Lease Incentive
 
 
On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a five year office lease agreement as discussed in note 18.  The lessor agreed to grant a leasehold improvement allowance of $100,000 to the Company to be used for the construction cost of improvements to the leased property, which included architectural and engineering fees, government agency plan check, permit and other fees, sales and use taxes, testing and inspection costs, and telephone and data cabling and wiring in the premises.  The Company accounts for the benefit of the leasehold improvement allowance as a reduction of rental expense over the five-year term of the office lease.

Deferred Office Lease Expense
 
The office lease agreement, discussed above, requires an initial annual base rent of $76,524 with annual increases over the next five years.  The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which resulted in a deferred rent liability of $63,005 and $63,117 as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
11.
Comprehensive Loss
 
The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $3,700 and $2,340, which is computed as the difference between the cost and fair value of the Company’s marketable securities as of the balance sheet date.  The total comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $4,437,159 and $8,033,596, respectively.
 
 
12.
Net Loss per Common Share
 
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excluding any potential dilution.  Diluted loss per common share is also computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, but also reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that would then share in earnings, but such calculation excludes common shares in treasury.   Basic and diluted loss per common share are identical for all periods presented as potentially dilutive securities of the Company have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per common share because the inclusion of such securities would be anti-dilutive.  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were stock options and warrants to acquire 16,718,937 and 13,701,378 shares of our common stock, respectively, which were the potentially dilutive securities of the Company.

14.      Stock-Based Compensation
 
On August 5, 2003, the Company established a stock option plan (the “Plan”).  Under the Plan, the Company grants stock options to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company.  For all grants prior to September 12, 2005 and grants to employees of the Company after September 12, 2005, the vesting period is 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date, an additional 30% on the second anniversary and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary.  Options expire between five and ten years from the date of grant.
 
For grants to non-employee consultants of the Company after September 12, 2005, the vesting period is between one to three years, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions in the individual stock option grant agreements, or 100% upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the individual stock option grant agreements.  Options authorized for issuance under the Plan total 17,000,000 after giving effect to an amendment to the Plan approved at the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Company on June 2, 2006.  At March 31, 2011, 8,385,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance.
 
Prior to adoption of the plan, the Company made restricted stock grants.  During 2003 all existing restricted stock grants were converted to stock options.  The converted options maintained the same full vesting period as the original restricted stock grants.
 
Accounting for Employee Awards
 
The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include share-based employee compensation expense totaling $150,246 and $116,270 respectively.  Such amounts have been included in the statement of operations in general and administrative and research and development expenses.  No income tax benefit has been recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements as the Company has provided for a 100% valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.
 
Employee stock option compensation expense is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting service period for the entire portion of the award.
 
Accounting for Non-Employee Awards
 
Stock compensation expenses related to non-employee options were $51,742 and $79,108 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Such amounts have been included in the statement of operations in general and administrative and research and development expenses.

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was 4.1 years and 3.4 years, respectively.
 
The warrants, which were issued to investors in the December 2007, March 2008, May 2009, October 2009, June 2010 and March 2011 offerings, contain a provision for net cash settlement in the event that there is a fundamental transaction (contractually defined as a merger, sale of substantially all assets, tender offer, or share exchange).   If a fundamental transaction occurs in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then the warrant holder has the option to receive cash, equal to the fair value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrant.  Due to this contingent redemption provision, the warrants require liability classification in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” (“ASC 480”) and are recorded at fair value.  In addition, these warrants are not indexed to the Company’s stock, and therefore also require liability classification under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” (ASC 815).
 
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition.  Fair values for warrants are determined using the Binomial Lattice (“Lattice”) valuation technique. The Lattice model provides for dynamic assumptions regarding volatility and risk-free interest rates within the total period to maturity. Accordingly, within the contractual term, the Company provided multiple date intervals over which multiple volatilities and risk free interest rates were used. These intervals allow the Lattice model to project outcomes along specific paths which consider volatilities and risk free rates that would be more likely in an early exercise scenario.
 
Significant assumptions are determined as follows:
Trading market values—published trading market values;
Exercise price—Stated exercise price;
Term—remaining contractual term of the warrant;
Volatility—Historical trading volatility for periods consistent with the remaining terms;
Risk-free rate—Yields on zero coupon government securities with remaining terms consistent with the remaining terms of the warrants.

Due to the fundamental transaction provision, which could provide for early redemption of the warrants, the model also considered the probability the Company would enter into a fundamental transaction during the remaining term of the warrant. Since the Company is still in its development stage and is not yet achieving positive cash flow, management believes the probability of a fundamental transaction occurring over the term of the warrant is approximately 5%.  For valuation purposes, the Company also assumed that if such a transaction did occur, it was more likely to occur towards the end of the term of the warrants.
 
The warrants issued in December 2007 and March 2008 are not only subject to traditional anti-dilution protection, such as stock splits and dividends, but they are also subject to down-round anti-dilution protection. Accordingly, if the Company sells common stock or common stock indexed financial instruments below the stated exercise price, the exercise price related to these warrants will adjust to that lower amount.  The Lattice model used to value the warrants with down-round anti-dilution protection provides for multiple, probability-weighted scenarios at the stated exercise price and at five additional decrements/scenarios on each valuation date in order to encompass the value of the anti-dilution provisions in the estimate of fair value of the warrants. Calculations were performed at the stated exercise price and at five additional decrements/scenarios on each valuation date. The calculations provide for multiple, probability-weighted scenarios reflecting decrements that result from declines in the market prices. Decrements are predicated on the trading market prices in decreasing ranges below the contractual exercise price. For each valuation date, multiple Binomial Lattice calculations were performed which were probability weighted by considering both the Company’s (i) historical market pricing trends, and (ii) an outlook for whether or not the Company may need to issue equity or equity-indexed instruments in the future with a price less than the current exercise price.

Put feature on Common Stock
 
The Anti-dilution provision extended in the December 2007 and March 2008 financings is a financial instrument separate and apart from the share. It is a freestanding written put (a put on the Company’s common stock).  As an enterprise value put, the contracts’ value moves inversely with the value of the underlying common stock which, under ASC 480, is not consistent with the general concepts or criterion for equity classified financial instruments. Accordingly, the written put was required to be classified as a liability under ASC 480 and recorded at fair value each reporting period, while the common stock achieved equity classification. Changes in the fair value of the anti-dilution make-whole provision are reported as “unrealized gain (loss) on fair value of put feature on common stock.”
 
The anti-dilution make-whole provisions associated with the common stock, were valued using a probability–weighting of put values provided by the Lattice model.  Additional value would result from the put upon an increase in the exercise price or upon decrease of the trading market price in the future. Since the exercise price is based on the actual sales price of the stock issued, it is not subject to adjustment unless there is an actual dilutive event. Therefore, the mechanism for determining the value of the put was to adjust the stock price input into the Lattice model based on the Company’s estimated future stock price.  A Random Walk Brownian Motion Stochastic Process (“Brownian”) technique was used to estimate the market price at several points in the future (e.g. at inception, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months) over the term of the put to determine if the stock price will be expected to decrease over the related interval of time. Brownian is a continuous stochastic process that is widely used in financing for modeling random behavior that evolves over time, and a stochastic process is a sequence of events or paths generated by probabilistic laws. At each interval, the Brownian technique was run and the simulation returned the mean stock price (the “expected stock price”).

Expected stock prices returned from the stochastic model were then input into the Lattice model to provide a put value at each of the expected price and these values were probability weighted to determine the overall fair value of the anti-dilution make-whole provision. The term was based on the remaining term of the put (two years at inception) and the inputs for volatility and interest rate were based on projected volatility and interest rate in the future over the remaining term.

Income Taxes
 
No provision for Federal and State income taxes was required for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the Company’s operating losses and increased deferred tax asset valuation allowance.  At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has unused net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $50,249,000 and $46,283,000 which expire at various dates through 2031.  Some of this amount may be subject to annual limitations under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code related to “changes in ownership”.
 
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the deferred tax assets related to the aforementioned carry-forwards have been fully offset by valuation allowances, since significant utilization of such amounts is not presently expected in the foreseeable future.
 
Deferred tax assets and valuation allowances consist of:

Fair Value Measurements
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs.  ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
 
The three levels are described below:
 
Level 1 Inputs
 
 
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;
 
Level 2 Inputs
 
 
Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
 
Level 3 Inputs
 
 
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
OVERVIEW
 
Our efforts and resources have been focused primarily on acquiring and developing our pharmaceutical technologies, raising capital and recruiting personnel.  We are a development stage company and have no product sales to date and we will not generate any product sales until we receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or equivalent foreign regulatory bodies to begin selling our pharmaceutical candidates.  Our major sources of working capital have been proceeds from various private financings, primarily private sales of common stock and debt securities, and collaboration agreements with our strategic investors.
 
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.  This Quarterly Report contains statements accompanied by such phrases as “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “may,” “intend” and other similar expressions, that are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We caution that forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations, and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control.  Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking statements:
 
 
our lack of profitability and the need for additional capital to operate our business;
 
 
our ability to obtain the necessary U.S. and worldwide regulatory approvals for our drug candidates;
 
 
successful and timely completion of clinical trials for our drug candidates;
 
 
demand for and market acceptance of our drug candidates;
 
 
the availability of qualified third-party researchers and manufacturers for our drug development programs;
 
 
our ability to develop and obtain protection of our intellectual property; and
 
 
Other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  The safe harbors for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 are unavailable to issuers of “penny stock.”  Our shares may be considered a penny stock and, as a result, the safe harbors may not be available to us.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and requires our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Our accounting policies are in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year.
 
 
37

 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future.  Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.  These estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become available.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance (“guidance”) which requires, in both interim and annual financial statements, for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on recurring basis disclosures regarding the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop those measurements.  It also requires separate disclosures of significant amounts transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and a description of the reasons for the transfers.  This guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2011 and is required to be applied prospectively to new or significantly modified revenue arrangements.  Management has adopted this guidance for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions.  Consideration that is contingent on achievement of a milestone in its entirety may be recognized as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone is judged to meet certain criteria to be considered substantive.  Milestones should be considered substantive in their entirety and may not be bifurcated.  An arrangement may contain both substantive and nonsubstantive milestones, and each milestone should be evaluated individually to determine if it is substantive.  This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes that there is no current impact to the financial statements .
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:
 
Total Revenues
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded revenues of $18,750.  We recorded the same amounts in the same period of 2010.  In both periods, the revenue reflects the recognition of deferred revenue from a collaborative research agreement with Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd., a minority stockholder.  See Note 9-Deferred Revenue in the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements for additional information concerning Rexgene.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel and stock option compensation expenses for executive, finance and other administrative personnel, recruitment expenses, professional fees and other corporate expenses, including business development, investor relations and general legal activities.
 
General and administrative expenses increased $52,707, or 5.0%, to $1,109,172 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,056,465 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase is primarily attributed to increased insurance costs for additional insurance coverage and additional legal and professional fees for the restatement of our 2009 financial statements.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers for laboratory development and other expenses relating to the design, development, testing, and enhancement of our drug candidates.  We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred.  See the discussion under “Research and Development Projects” below for additional information about expected future research and development expenses.

Research and development expenses increased $2,245,155 or 457.1%, to $2,736,277 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $491,122 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase was primarily attributable to the Serdaxin Phase IIb clinical trial, as we incurred approximately $1.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  This trial was not being conducted in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  In addition, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we incurred approximately $725,000 for the continuing preclinical development of RX-3117, compared to approximately $400,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The increase in research and development costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 is also attributable to increased costs for our preclinical pipeline.
 
Patent Fees
 
Our patent fees increased $19,780, or 37.5%, to $72,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $52,734 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to increased legal costs to respond to patent applications in the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2,580, or 22.3%, to $14,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $11,547 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increase is primarily due to depreciation from assets placed in service during 2010, and a shorter useful life used for computer equipment. The impact of the change in useful life is immaterial. 
 
Interest Income
 
Interest income increased $20,457, or 92.9%, to $42,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $22,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The increases in both periods were primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing investments and higher interest rates on such investments.
 
Unrealized Loss on Fair Value of Warrants
 
Our warrants are recorded as liabilities at fair value, and are valued using a lattice model.  Changes in the fair value of warrants are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in our statement of operations.  For the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, we recorded unrealized losses on the fair value of our warrants of $467,625 and $6,560,205, respectively.  The variance in the unrealized loss between the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 is primarily due to the variance in our stock price on the balance sheet date.  The change in the fair value of our warrants is a non-cash item reflected in our financial statements.
 
Net Loss
 
As a result of the above, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $4,436,161, or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss of $8,033,596, or $0.11 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Research and Development Projects
 
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred.  Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, costs to acquire pharmaceutical products and product rights for development and amounts paid to contract research organizations, hospitals and laboratories for the provision of services and materials for drug development and clinical trials.  Costs incurred in obtaining the license rights to technology in the research and development stage and that have no alternative future uses are expensed as incurred.  Our research and development programs are related to our three clinical stage lead drug candidates, Archexin, Serdaxin and Zoraxel and pre-clinical stage drug candidates, RX-5902, RX-0201-Nano, RX-0047-Nano and Nano-polymer Anticancer Drugs.  Each of our lead drug candidates is in various stages of completion as described below.  As we expand our clinical studies, we will enter into additional development agreements.  Significant additional expenditures will be required if we complete our clinical trials, start new trials, apply for regulatory approvals, continue development of our technologies, expand our operations and bring our products to market.  The eventual total cost of each clinical trial is dependent on a number of uncertainties such as trial design, the length of the trial, the number of clinical sites and the number of patients.  The process of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals for new therapeutic products is lengthy, expensive and uncertain.  Because the successful development of our most advanced drug candidates, Archexin, Serdaxin and Zoraxel, is uncertain, and because RX-0201-Nano, RX-0047-Nano and Nano-polymer Anticancer Drugs are in early-stage development, we are unable to estimate the costs of completing our research and development programs, the timing of bringing such programs to market and, therefore, when material cash inflows could commence from the sale of these drug candidates.  If these projects are not completed as planned, our results of operations and financial condition could be negatively affected and if we are unable to obtain additional financing to fund these projects, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Archexin®
 
Archexin, a 20 nucleotide single stranded DNA anti-sense molecule, is a first-in-class inhibitor of the protein kinase Akt.  Akt plays critical roles in cancer cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance.  Archexin received “orphan drug” designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for five cancer indications (renal cell carcinoma, or RCC, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, stomach cancer and pancreatic cancer).  The FDA orphan drug program provides seven years of marketing exclusivity after approval and tax incentives for clinical research. In October 2006, we announced the conclusion of the Phase I clinical trial of Archexin, our leading drug candidate.  The Phase I clinical trial of Archexin, which took place at Georgetown University and the University of Alabama, was an open-label, dose-escalation study with 14 day continuous infusion in 17 patients with solid tumors. The Phase I trial was intended primarily to assess the safety and tolerability of Archexin in patients with advanced cancer. The trial results showed that the dose limiting toxicity of Archexin occurring at 315 mg/m2 dose in the form of fatigue. No other serious adverse events such as hematological toxicities were observed in this Phase I study. In the Phase I study stable disease was observed in two out of the 17 Patients. Archexin is currently being studied in a Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of pancreatic cancer with several patients enrolled and enrollment continuing in 2011.  The Archexin Phase IIa trial is a single-arm, open-label study with 35 subjects conducted at global sites in the United States and India. Archexin will be administered in combination with gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer to assess safety and preliminary efficacy, maximum tolerated dose, and overall survival. Archexin’s Phase II clinical trial protocol for the treatment of RCC was reviewed by the FDA, but issues with enrollment have delayed the trial.  The enrollment issues were primarily due to the small number of patients that have been diagnosed with RCC and the fact that such patients are often treated with surgery instead of drug therapies.  After further consideration of the trial design and the limited number of patients, there was a reallocation of resources and Rexahn reprioritized Archexin to pursue studies in pancreatic cancer.  We own one issued U.S. Patent for Archexin.
 
The costs incurred for the Phase I clinical trial was approximately $1,500,000.  As of March 31, 2011 we have spent approximately $6,273,000 for the development of Archexin and we estimate that the Phase IIa trials for pancreatic cancer patients will be completed in first half of 2012 and will require approximately an additional $450,000 to complete.
 
Serdaxin® (RX-10100)
 
Serdaxin is an extended release formulation of clavulanic acid, which is an ingredient present in antibiotics approved by the FDA. We are currently developing Serdaxin for the treatment of depression and neurodegenerative disorders. We have recently concluded a Phase IIa proof of concept clinical trial for major depressive disorder (“MDD”), with Serdaxin. The proof-of-concept, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled and dose ranging (5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg administered twice daily) Phase IIa clinical trial enrolled 77 MDD patients at multiple sites in the United States.  No statistical difference was seen between the three doses and the placebo on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (“MADRS”).  A high dropout rate of non-responders in the placebo group contributed to a higher-than-expected response for the placebo-treated subjects that completed the study.  We believe this high dropout rate may have contributed to the absence of statistical significance.  In our ad hoc analysis, results from the Phase IIa clinical trial showed that patients suffering from MDD responded most positively to the 5 mg dose of the drug, and supported proceeding to a Phase IIb clinical trial. In the subgroup analysis, the study showed that patients with severe MDD taking 5 mg of Serdaxin had significant improvement in MADRS, scores after 8 weeks of treatment, compared to the placebo group. Among the 77 patients, 53 patients were classified as having severe MDD. Of the 14 patients treated with 5 mg of Serdaxin, MADRS scores improved by 55.6%, compared to only 34.0% in the placebo group (n = 14), which was statistically significant (p=0.041) on an intent to treat basis. In addition, 64.3% of patients with severe MDD treated with the 5 mg of Serdaxin were considered “Responders” compared to 28.6% in the placebo group (p=0.0581). A “Responder” is a patient with a change from baseline MADRS score of greater than or equal to 50% after treatment. Additionally, 42.9% of patients in the treatment group at 5 mg of Serdaxin were in remission with a MADRS score of less than or equal to 12 after eight weeks of treatment, versus 14.3% in the placebo group (p=0.209). During the trial there were no reports of side effects that are commonly linked to currently marketed antidepressant drugs, such as selective serotonin uptake inhibitors, (“SSRI”), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, (“SNRI”), and tricyclic antidepressants (“TCA”). The 5 mg Serdaxin-treated group (20 adverse events) reported 40% fewer adverse events than the placebo group (36 adverse events). In addition, the 5 mg Serdaxin-treated group reported a lower dropout rate by week 2 of 4.8% compared to 9.1% in the placebo group, and by week 8 the drop-out rate for the Serdaxin group was only 14.3% compared to 59.1% in the placebo group. Pre-clinical studies suggest that Serdaxin may have an inverted, U-shape dose-response curve. This inverted, dose-response relationship may explain the observation in the Phase IIa trial of a more positive response in patients taking the lowest dose. Due to this phenomenon, higher doses of Serdaxin may not be effective, suggesting an additional potential benefit with respect to the risk of overdose problems prevalent in other psychogenic medications. A Phase IIb trial for MDD with lower doses started recruiting patients in early 2011. We are also currently planning the Phase II clinical trial for Parkinson’s disease (“PD”), with Serdaxin.

Through March 31, 2011, the costs incurred for development of Serdaxin to date have been approximately $3,800,000.  We currently estimate that the Phase IIb MDD studies will require $5,400,000 through the first half of 2012.  Phase II clinical trials for the use of Serdaxin in PD are being developed.  We currently estimate PD studies will require $600,000 through the first half of 2012.
 
In March 2005, we licensed-in CNS related intellectual property from Revaax Pharmaceuticals, LLC and agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize one or more licensed products. The intellectual property rights acquired cover use of certain compounds for anxiety, depression, aggression, cognition, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and neuroprotection. We have an exclusive license rights to four issued U.S. patents owned by Revaax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. relating to these uses.
 
Zoraxel(RX-10100)
 
We are developing Zoraxel for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Zoraxel is an immediate release formulation of clavulanic acid, the same active ingredient found in our product candidate Serdaxin. The Phase IIa proof of concept clinical trial of Zoraxel is complete with positive results and the Phase IIb trial will commence in 2011. Rexahn’s decision to move forward with the Phase IIb trial is supported by data from the Phase IIa proof of concept, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled and dose ranging (5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg) study of 39 erectile dysfunction patients (ages of 18 to 65) treated with Zoraxel. The Phase IIa study was completed in May 2009 and demonstrated that Zoraxel consistently improved International Index of Erectile Function, (“IIEF”), scores of treated subjects. The Phase IIa study results showed treatment with 15 mg of Zoraxel at week 8 improving subjects’ IIEF-EF scores by 6.5, a value obtained from the changes from the baseline between scores of 15 mg of Zoraxel (5.3) and the placebo group (-1.2). Furthermore, the study showed among treated subjects a dose dependent treatment effect with improved erectile function and quality of life measures. The study also showed Zoraxel to be well tolerated in the patients in the study with no serious adverse events reported. To examine the clinical relevance of Zoraxel as an erectile dysfunction drug, an “effect size” analysis has been conducted. Effect size (“ES”) is a data analysis index developed by Dr. Jacob Cohen of New York University and is derived from the improvement in IIEF mean score for the treatment group minus the improvement in IIEF mean score of the placebo group over the treatment period, divided by the standard deviation of the entire sample at baseline. An ES value greater than 0.80 is deemed ”a considerable change” under the ES criteria. The ES for IIEF-EF and IIEF-intercourse satisfaction indices of Zoraxel (2.59 and 0.88, respectively) were larger than 0.80, suggesting a considerable change in sexual experiences in Zoraxel-treated patients based on the ES criteria. The Phase IIb study is designed to assess Zoraxel’s efficacy in approximately 225 male subjects, ages 18 to 65, with ED. The double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 12-week study will include IIEF, Sexual Encounter Profile, or SEP, 2 (Penetration) & 3 (Sexual Intercourse) survey, as primary endpoints with 25 and 50 mg doses. The Phase IIb study is expected to begin in the second half of 2011 and the preliminary data is expected to be available in 2012.  The study will be conducted at multiple sites in the United States.
 
Through March 31, 2011, the costs incurred for development of Zoraxel to date have been approximately $1,200,000.  We currently estimate that these Phase IIb studies will require approximately $3,000,000 throughout the remainder of 2011 and 2012.

Pre-clinical Pipeline
 
On September 21, 2009, we closed on a securities purchase agreement with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (“Teva”), under which Teva purchased 3,102,837 shares of our common stock for $3.5 million. Contemporaneous with the execution and delivery of this agreement, the parties executed a research and exclusive license option agreement (“RELO”) pursuant to which we agreed to use $2,000,000 from the gross proceeds of the issuance and sale of shares to Teva to fund a research and development program for the pre-clinical development of RX-3117.    On January 19, 2011, we entered into a second amendment with Teva to the securities purchase  agreement closed in September, 2009.  Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, TEVA purchased 2,334,515 shares of our common stock in a private offering for gross proceeds of $3.95 million.  The investment by TEVA is restricted to further supporting the research and development program for the pre-clinical development of RX-3117.  We will be eligible to receive royalties on net sales of RX-3117 worldwide.  This compound may be entered into an exploratory early stage clinical study during the second half of 2011.
 
RX-0201-Nano, RX-0047-Nano and Nano-polymer Anticancer Drugs are in a pre-clinical stage of development and the next scheduled program for each compound is a pre-clinical toxicology study required prior to submission of an IND application to the FDA.  RX-5902 is in late-stage preclinical development. Through March 31, 2011, the costs incurred for development of these compounds to date have been approximately $1,645,000.  The estimated cost to complete pre-clinical toxicology and Phase I clinical trials is estimated to be approximately $1,500,000 per each compound.
 
The conduct of the clinical trial and toxicology studies described above are being accomplished in conjunction with third-party clinical research organizations at external locations.  This business practice is typical for the pharmaceutical industry and companies like us.  As a result, the risk of completion or delay of these studies is not within our direct control and a program delay may occur due to circumstances outside our control.  A delay in any of these programs may not necessarily have a direct impact on our daily operations.  However, to the extent that a delay results in additional cost to us, a higher than expected expense may result.
 
We will need to raise additional money through debt and/or equity offerings in order to continue to develop our drug candidates.  If we are not able to raise sufficient additional money, we will have to reduce our research and development activities.  We will first reduce research and development activities associated with our preclinical compounds.  To the extent necessary, we will then reduce our research and development activities related to some or all of our clinical drugs.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Cash used in operating activities was $2,425,835 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,049,045 for the same period ended March 31, 2010.  The operating cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflect our net loss from operations of $4,436,161 and a net increase in cash components of working capital and non-cash charges totaling $2,010,326.
 
Cash used in investing activities of $2,957,563 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of an increase of restricted cash equivalents.  Cash provided by investing activities was $114,963 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Cash provided by financing activities of $13,556,234 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 consisted of net proceeds of $317,961 from the exercise of stock warrants, $18,000 from the exercise of stock options, $3,926,397 from the issuance of common stock to Teva, net of issuance costs, and $9,293,876 from the issuance of 8,333,333 shares of common stock to institutional investors, net of issuance costs.  The institutional investors were also issued warrants to purchase 3,333,333 shares of common stock.  During the same period in 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $1,318,241, which consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of stock options and warrants
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we experienced a net loss of $4,436,161.  Our accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2011 was $50,175,824.
 
 
42

 
We have not yet generated commercial sales revenue and have been able to fund our operating losses to date through the sale of our common stock, convertible debt financings, interest income from investments of cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from reimbursed research and development costs.  During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $8,172,836.  Total cash as of March 31, 2011 was $20,513,075 compared to $12,340,239 as of December 31, 2010.  We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to cover our cash flow requirements through June 30, 2012. Although we expect to have to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, or that any additional funding we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term.  If we are not able to raise sufficient additional money, we will have to reduce our research and development activities.  We will first reduce research and development activities associated with our preclinical compounds. To the extent necessary, we will then reduce our research and development activities related to some or all of our clinical drugs.
 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
 
We have contracted with various vendors to provide research and development services.  The terms of these agreements usually require an initiation fee and monthly or periodic payments over the term of the agreement, ranging from two months to 36 months.  The costs to be incurred are estimated and are subject to revision.  As of March 31, 2011, the total contract value of these agreements was approximately $17,812,861 and we have made payments totaling $7,040,380 under the terms of the agreements as of March 31, 2011.  All of these agreements may be terminated by either party upon appropriate notice as stipulated in the respective agreements.
 
On September 9, 2010, we and three of our key executives entered into Amended and Restated Employment Agreements.  The Amended and Restated Employment Agreements replace the prior employment contracts entered into on August 10, 2009.  We entered into the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements in order to provide the key executives with: (i) an automatic one year renewal upon the expiration of the initial three year term and upon each consecutive year term unless such employment with the Company is terminated earlier by the Company or the executives; (ii) an annual base salary adjustment for inflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index subject to review by the Company’s Compensation Committee; (iii) an increase in the Company provided life insurance coverage from an amount equal to two times the executive’s annual base salary to an amount equal to four times the executive’s annual base salary; and (iv) a one-time cash payment, subject to applicable withholding requirements under applicable state and federal law, in an amount equal to the executive’s increased income tax costs as a result of payments made to the executive by the Company under the change of control provisions of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement. Other than these changes, the new contracts have substantially similar terms to the executives’ prior employment agreements.  The agreements result in annual commitments of $200,000, $350,000 and $250,000, respectively.
 
On May 21, 2009, the Company entered into a one year agreement to use lab space commencing on July 1, 2009.  The Company agreed to pay monthly payments of $4,554 from October 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010.  The agreement has been renewed for a one year term commencing on July 1, 2010 with the same payment schedule.
 
On June 22, 2009, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (“KRICT”) to acquire the rights to all intellectual properties related to Quinoxaline-Piperazine derivatives that were synthesized under a Joint Research Agreement. The initial license fee was $100,000, all of which was paid as of June 30, 2010.  The agreement with KRICT calls for a one-time milestone payment of $1,000,000 within 30 days after the first achievement of marketing approval of the first commercial product arising out of or in connection with the use of KRICT’s intellectual properties.
 
On September 21, 2009, we closed on a securities purchase agreement with Teva, pursuant to which Teva purchased 3,102,837 shares of our common stock for $3.5 million.  Contemporaneous with the execution and delivery of this agreement, the parties executed a research and exclusive license option agreement for the development of the anti-cancer compound, RX-3117.  RX-3117 is a small molecule, new chemical entity (“NCE”), nucleoside compound that has an anti-metabolite mechanism of action, and has therapeutic potential in a broad range of cancers including colon, lung and pancreatic cancer.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Teva has the option to make an additional investment in Rexahn common stock for the purpose of supporting the research and development program for the pre-clinical stage, anti-cancer compound RX-3117, and we will be eligible to receive additional development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. On January 19, 2011, we entered into a second amendment to the securities purchase agreement (the “Second Amendment”).  The Second Amendment amends the securities purchase agreement to change the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Teva for a second investment in Rexahn common stock, which aggregate amount shall equal the sum of (i) the estimated amount that is required to complete the pre-clinical research and development program for RX-3117 plus (ii) $450,000 for expenses.   Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, Teva purchased 2,334,515 shares of Rexahn Common stock in a private offering for $3.95 million.  In addition, the Second Amendment provided for a possible third investment in Rexahn common stock by Teva in the amount of $750,000, which investment may be made by Teva, in its sole discretion, upon the satisfactory completion by Rexahn of an exploratory early-stage clinical study of the compound RX-3117 (the “Phase 0 study”), which study shall be in the location and have protocols that are approved by Teva.

On June 29, 2009, the Company signed a five year lease for 5,466 square feet of office space in Rockville, Maryland commencing on June 29, 2009.  The lease requires annual base rents of $76,524 with increases over the next five years. Under the leasing agreement, the Company pays its allocable portion of real estate taxes and common area operating charges.  Rent paid under the Company’s lease during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $35,078.
 
In connection with the lease agreement, the Company issued a letter of credit of $100,000 in favor of the lessor.  The Company has restricted cash equivalents of the same amount for the letter of credit.  On August 2, 2010, the letter of credit was reduced to $50,000.
 
CURRENT AND FUTURE FINANCING NEEDS
 
We have incurred negative cash flow from operations since we started our business.  We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including our planned product development efforts, our clinical trials, and our research and development efforts.  Based on our current plans and our capital resources, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to enable us to meet our minimum planned operating needs over the next eighteen months which would entail focusing our resources on Phase II clinical trials of Archexin, Serdaxin and Zoraxel.  Over the next twelve months, we expect to spend a minimum of approximately $7.8 million on clinical development for Phase II clinical trials of Archexin, Serdaxin and Zoraxel (including our commitments described under “Contractual Obligations” of this Item 2), $6.6 million on the development of our preclinical pipeline, $4.4 million on general corporate expenses, and approximately $200,000 on facilities rent.  We will need to seek additional financing to implement and fund drug candidate development, clinical trial and research and development efforts to the maximum extent of our operating plan, including in-vivo animal and pre-clinical studies, Phase II clinical trials for new product candidates, as well as other research and development projects.  If we are not able to secure additional financing, we will not be able to implement and fund the research and development.
 
However, the actual amount of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control.  These factors include the following:
 
 
the progress of our product development activities;
 
 
the number and scope of our product development programs;
 
 
the progress of our pre-clinical and clinical trial activities;
 
 
the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we have entered into collaboration agreements;
 
 
our ability to maintain current collaboration programs and to establish new collaboration arrangements;
 
 
the costs involved in prosecuting and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and
 
 
the costs and timing of regulatory approvals.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we are exposed to the following market risks:
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments.  At March 31, 2011, our cash was invested primarily in short term bank deposits and municipal obligations, all of which were denominated in U.S. dollars.  Due to the conservative nature of these investments, which primarily bear interest at fixed rates, we do not believe we have material exposure to interest rate risk.  At March 31, 2011, we had no debt instruments on our balance sheet.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
We are exposed to risks associated with foreign currency transactions on contracts with vendors associated outside of the United States.  Accordingly changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to other currencies, may have an impact on our financial statements and earnings.  The number and dollar amount of contracts denominated in foreign currency is immaterial; therefore, we believe we do not have material exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).  Based on that evaluation, the CEO along with the CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
