1.     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 and other medical needs.  The Company had an accumulated deficit of $67,950,138 at June 30, 2013 and anticipates incurring losses through the remainder of fiscal 2013 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, issuance of long-term debt, and proceeds from reimbursed research and development costs.  The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, including the proceeds received from the registered direct offering as described in Note 18, will be sufficient to cover its cash flow requirements into 2015.  Management has the capability of managing the Company’s operations within existing cash available by focusing on select research and development activities, selecting projects in conjunction with potential financings and milestones, and efficient management of its general and administrative affairs.
 
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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been included.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. 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 for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”).  Information included in the condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the 2012 Form 10-K.
 
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.     Recent Accounting Pronouncement Affecting the Company

Comprehensive Income

In February, 2013 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications from comprehensive income to net income.  The new amendments require that a company must present the effects on line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, and additional referencing and disclosure regarding these items.  The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012.  The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements due to the adoption of this guidance.

8.     Deferred Research and Development Arrangements
 
Rexgene Biotech Co., Ltd.
 
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.  In accordance with the agreement, Rexgene paid the Company a one-time fee of $1,500,000 in 2003.  The agreement terminates at the later of 20 years or the term of the patent.  The amortization reduces research and development expenses for the periods presented.

The Company is using 20 years as its basis for recognition and accordingly $18,750 and $37,500 reduced research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The remaining $712,500 and $750,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, is reflected as in deferred research and development arrangements 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 2014.  Under the terms of the agreement, Rexgene does not receive royalties on Company net sales outside of Asia.
 
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.
 
On September 21, 2009, the Company 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 the Company 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, the Company entered into a second amendment to the securities purchase agreement in which Teva purchased 2,334,515 shares of the common stock of the company for gross proceeds of $3.95 million.  On November 27, 2012, the Company and Teva entered into a second amendment to the RELO agreement, pursuant to which Teva provided the Company with an additional $926,000 of research funding for the development of RX-3117, which was recorded as restricted cash on the Company’s balance sheet.  The contribution from the second amendment was recorded in deferred research and development arrangements on the balance sheet, and costs incurred for the development of RX-3117 are paid from restricted cash, and reduce the deferred research and development arrangement and therefore, are not an expense in the Company’s statement of operations.  As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had proceeds remaining of $531,379, and $876,000, respectively, which is included in deferred research and development arrangements on the balance sheet.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $210,000 and $344,621 was reduced from the deferred research and development arrangement for costs incurred for the development of RX-3117, respectively.

9.    Other Liabilities

Deferred Lease Incentive

On June 29, 2009, the Company entered into a five year office lease agreement as disclosed in Note 16.  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.
 
The following table sets forth the deferred lease incentive:

Deferred Office Lease Expense

The office lease agreement, disclosed above, requires an initial annual base rent 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 $24,951 and $35,417 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

10.  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 for the period.  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, and such calculation excludes common shares in treasury.   As of June 30 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were stock options and warrants to acquire 31,641,287 and 29,397,937 shares of our common stock, respectively, which are the potentially dilutive securities of the Company.

12. Stock-Based Compensation
 
At the Company’s Annual Meeting of the Stockholders held on June 10, 2013, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2013 Stock Option Plan (the “2013 Plan”).  Under the 2013 Plan, the Company grants stock options to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company.  A total of 17,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2013 Plan.  As of June 30, 2013, there were 300,000 options outstanding, and 16,700,000 shares were available for issuance from the 2013 Plan.
 
On August 5, 2003, the Company established a stock option plan (the “2003 Plan”).  Under the 2003 Plan, the Company grants stock options to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company.  With the adoption of the 2013 Plan, no new stock options may be issued under the 2003 Plan, however, previously issued options under the 2003 Plan remain outstanding until their expiration.  As of June 30, 2013, there were 9,741,795 outstanding options under the 2003 Plan.
  
For the majority of the grants to employees, the vesting period is 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date, an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date, 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, the vesting period is between one and three years, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions in the individual stock agreements, or 100% upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the individual stock agreements.

Summary of Stock Option Transactions
 
There were 1,200,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.37 with a fair value of $320,465, 550,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.31 with a fair value of $122,497, 250,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.39 and a fair value of $69,529, and 300,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.50 and a fair value of $107,086 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The 1,200,000 options granted at an exercise price of $0.37 were awarded to our new Chief Executive Officer, who joined the Company in February 2013.  Per that employment agreement, these options vested immediately, and therefore, the entire fair value of those options were expensed upon grant. There were 75,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.48 and a fair value of $26,835 and 170,000 stock options granted at an exercise price of $0.38 and a fair value of $47,589 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
  
The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The Company took into consideration guidance under ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” and SAB 107 when reviewing and updating assumptions.  The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock.  The expected term is based upon the simplified method as allowed under SAB 107.

The assumptions made in calculating the fair values of options are as follows:

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was 3.3 and 3.8 years, respectively.

The warrants, which were issued to investors in the December 2007, March 2008, May 2009, October 2009, June 2010, March 2011 and December 2012 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 and are recorded at fair value.  In addition, the warrants issued in the May 2009, October 2009, June 2010, March, 2011 and December 2012 offerings contain a cashless exercise provision that is exercisable only in the event that a registration statement is not effective, which provision may not be operative if an effective registration statement is not available because of an exemption under the U.S. Securities laws may not be available to issue unregistered shares.  As a result, net cash settlement may be required.
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 unlikely and therefore estimates the probability of entering into a fundamental transaction to be 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 were not only subject to traditional anti-dilution protection, such as stock splits and dividends, but they were also subject to down-round anti-dilution protection. Accordingly, if the Company sold 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 provided 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.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the warrants include management’s estimate of the probability that a fundamental transaction may occur in the future.  Significant increases (decreases) in the probability of occurrence would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

14.  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 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 prices 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.
 The following table summarizes the fair value of the Anti-dilution provision recorded at fair value as liabilities:

15.  Income Taxes
 
No provision for Federal and State income taxes was required for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 due to the Company’s operating losses and increased deferred tax asset valuation allowance.  At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had unused net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $65,090,000 and $61,780,000 which expire at various dates through 2033.  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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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:

16.      Commitments and Contingencies
 
a) The Company has contracted with various vendors to provide research and development services. The terms of these agreements usually require an initial fee and monthly or periodic payments over the term of the agreement, ranging from 2 months to 36 months. The costs to be incurred are estimated and are subject to revision. As of June 30, 2013, the total estimated cost to be incurred under these agreements was approximately $20,888,410 and the Company had made payments totaling $19,066,863 since inception under the terms of the agreements.  All of these agreements may be terminated by either party upon appropriate notice as stipulated in the respective agreements.
 
b) The Company and four of its key executives currently have outstanding employment agreements,.  The agreements result in annual commitments for each key executive of $350,000, $285,000, $250,000, and $215,000, respectively.
 
c) 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 December 31, 2009.  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.  As of June 30, 2013, the milestone has not occurred.
 
d) On June 29, 2009, the Company signed a five year commercial lease agreement for 5,466 square feet of office space in Rockville, Maryland commencing on June 29, 2009.  The lease agreement requires annual base rent with increases over the next five years.  Under the lease 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 three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $40,199 and $39,219, respectively. Rent paid under the Company’s lease during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $80,398 and $78,437.
 
On June 7, 2013 the Company entered into the First Amendment to the lease agreement. According to the terms of this amendment, the Company extended the lease term until June 30, 2019.  The amendment term began on July 1, 2013 with a base rent of $100,210 and requires annual base rent increases over the next six years.
 
Future rental payments over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

In connection with the lease agreement, the Company issued a letter of credit of $100,000 in favor of the lessor.  On August 2, 2010, and July 1, 2011 the letter of credit was amended and reduced to $50,000 and $37,500, respectively.  The Company has restricted cash equivalents of the same amount for the letter of credit.
e) On September 21, 2009, the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement with 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 RELO pursuant to which the Company 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, the Company entered into a second amendment to the securities purchase agreement (the “Second Amendment”) in which Teva purchased 2,334,515 shares of the common stock of the Company for gross proceeds of $3,950,000, which the Company agreed to use for the further preclinical development of RX-3117.  On December 7, 2012, the Teva exercised its option to purchase $750,000 of common stock, and the Company issued Teva 2,083,333 shares.  This constituted the third and final closing agreed to in the securities purchase agreement, and the use of these funds is not restricted by the Company. On December 27, 2012 the Company received $926,000 from Teva in accordance with a second amendment to the RELO agreement, entered into on November 27, 2012 for the development of RX-3117.  The Company did not issue equity for this transaction.

f) The Company has a 401(k) plan established for its employees.  The Company elected to match 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s compensation plus 50% of an additional 2% of the employee’s deferral. Expense related to this matching contribution aggregated $20,531 and $17,873 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and $38,247 and $36,337 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
g) On May 30, 2012 and June 22, 2011, the Company signed a one year renewal to use lab space commencing on July 1, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The lease requires monthly rental payments of $4,554.  Rent paid under the Company’s lease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $13,662 and $27,324.  On June 24, 2013 the Company extended the agreement for another year with monthly rental payments of $4,554.
17.  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.
 
The following tables present assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s restricted cash equivalents are comprised of the following:

a) Money market funds valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Company and is classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy;

b) Certificate of deposit valued based upon the underlying terms of a letter of credit, as disclosed in Note 16, and classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Marketable securities consist of state authority and municipal security fund bonds which are valued at fair value and classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value methodology for the warrant liabilities is disclosed in Note 13.

The carrying amounts reported in the financial statements for cash and cash equivalents (Level 1), prepaid expenses, and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short term maturity of these financial instruments.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 in the fair value of the liabilities classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Additions consist of the fair value of warrant liabilities upon issuance.  Transfers out of Level 3 for warrant liabilities consist of warrant exercises.  The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer.   There were no significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
18.  Subsequent Events

In July, 2013 warrant holders exercised their warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for cash of $1,199,966 and the Company issued an aggregate of 2,542,300 shares.

On July 26, 2013 the Company closed on a registered direct public offering to issue and sell 11,400,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 3,990,000 shares of common stock.  The common stock and warrants were sold in units, consisting of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.35 shares of common stock, at a price of $0.50 per share, and the warrants have an exercise price of $0.59 per share.  The total gross proceeds of the offering were $5,700,000.  The warrants issued are exercisable beginning six months after the closing date until the five-year anniversary of the closing date, and were recorded as liabilities at fair value.  The Company is in the process of determining the fair value of the warrants and total closing costs for this transaction.

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

OVERVIEW

Our efforts and resources have been focused primarily on 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.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012

Total Revenues

The Company had no revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related 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 $115,352, or 15.5%, to $857,946 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $742,594 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in investor relations services.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we engaged three firms to provide investor relations services, and two of these firms were compensated with compensatory stock in addition to cash payments.  General and administrative expenses increased $597,932, or 40.7%, to $2,068,698 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1,470,766 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributed to the stock option compensation and recruiting fees for our new Chief Executive Officer, who joined our Company in February 2013.  Per the employment agreement, our CEO was awarded 1,200,000 stock options, valued at approximately $320,000, which vested immediately and were therefore expensed upon grant. The increase is also attributable to an increase in investor relations services, as described above.

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.

Research and development expenses decreased $93,126 or 9.1%, to $925,130 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $1,018,256 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease is partially attributable to the development of RX-3117.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred approximately $350,000 for the preclinical and exploratory Phase I clinical trial of RX-3117 which was paid from cash received from our partner, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. (“Teva”), through the sale of stock in accordance with a purchase agreement. In December, 2012, as per the second amendment to the RELO, Teva provided us with $926,000 additional research funding for the development of RX-3117.  Since we did not issue equity from this transaction, the proceeds received from this additional funding were recorded as a deferred research and development arrangement.  Costs incurred for the development of RX-3117 reduce the deferred research and development arrangement liability, and were therefore, not an expense of the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2013.  The decrease was offset by increased consulting and drug manufacturing costs for Archexin and RX-5902, which may begin clinical trials in the second half of 2013.

Research and development expenses decreased $583,360 or 28.3%, to $1,477,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $2,060,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease is primarily due to RX-3117, as described above, as we incurred approximately $580,000 for RX-3117 during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which were an expense of the Company, whereas, due to the research and development arrangement liability, we did not incur expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Patent Fees

Our patent fees increased $43,843, or 56.7%, to $121,216 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $77,373 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Patent fees increased $77,745, or 43.2%, to $257,707 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $179,962 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.   The increase was primarily due to legal costs to respond to office actions on pending patent applications, and translation fees associated with regionalizing patents in foreign jurisdictions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1,486, or 13.9% to $9,235 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $10,721 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Depreciation and amortization decreased $2,891, or 13.5% to $18,551 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $21,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The decrease is primarily due to assets for which we incurred depreciation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 that subsequently became fully depreciated and therefore, there was no depreciation expense for these assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $7,139, or 166.3% to $11,433 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $4,294 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Interest Income increased $10,908, or 103.5%, to $21,451 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $10,543 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.   The increase is due to an increase in interest rates and interest bearing investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Unrealized (Loss)/Gain on Fair Value of Warrants

Our warrants are recorded as liabilities at fair value, and the warrants 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.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded an unrealized (loss)/gain on the fair value of our warrants of ($1,206,656) and $802,248.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded an unrealized (loss)/gain on the fair value of our warrants of ($837,754) and $540,387. 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, net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3,108,750 and $4,638,855, or $0.03 and $0.04 per share, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,042,402 and $3,182,196, or $0.01 and $0.03 per share, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Research and Development Projects

Research and development costs 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 have no alternative future uses are expensed as incurred.  Our research and development programs are related to our oncology clinical stage drug candidates, Archexin, RX-3117 and RX-5902, and pre-clinical stage drug candidates, RX-0047-Nano, RX-0201-Nano, and RX-21101.  Each of our 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, RX-3117, RX-5902, is uncertain, and because, RX-0047-Nano, RX-0201-Nano, and RX-21101 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.
 
Archexin®
 
Archexin is a 20 nucleotide single stranded DNA anti-sense molecule, which 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 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 August, 2012, we announced top line results of our Phase IIa clinical trial.  The open label 2-stage study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of Archexin in combination with gemcitabine.  Stage 1 was the dose finding portion and Stage 2 was the dose expansion portion using the dose identified in Stage 1 to be administered with gemcitabine.  The study enrolled 31 subjects aged 18-65 with metastatic pancreatic cancer at nine centers in the United States and India.  The primary endpoint was overall survival following four cycles of therapy with a six month follow-up.  For those evaluable patients, the study demonstrated that treatment with Archexin in combination with gemcitabine provided a median survival rate of 9.1 months compared to the historical survival data of 5.65 months for standard single agent gemcitabine therapy.   The most frequent reported adverse events were constipation, nausea, abdominal pain and pyrexia, regardless of relatedness.  Rexahn is evaluating options for advancing Archexin, including initiating Phase IIa clinical trials for chemo-resistant solid tumors and hematological malignancies in the second half of 2013.  We own one issued U.S. patent for Archexin.

As of June 30, 2013, we have spent approximately $6,680,000 for the development of Archexin.  The Phase IIa trial for pancreatic cancer was completed in the third quarter of 2012, and we estimate that we have approximately an additional $95,000 of costs yet to be billed by vendors for this trial.  We currently estimate that additional Phase II trials for Archexin will cost approximately $2,900,000.

RX-3117
 
 In 2009, we closed on the RELO and a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Teva for the development of our novel anti-cancer compound, RX-3117.  RX-3117 is a small molecule, new chemical entity 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.  The investment by TEVA is restricted to supporting the research and development program for the development of RX-3117.  We will be eligible to receive royalties on net sales of RX-3117 worldwide.  On January 19, 2011, we entered into a second amendment to the Purchase Agreement, whereby Teva purchased 2,334,515 shares of our common stock for $3.95 million.  This second amendment also provided for a possible third investment by Teva, in the amount of $750,000. This compound entered into an exploratory Phase I clinical study during the first quarter of 2012.  The primary objective of the study was to determine oral bioavailability of RX-3117 in humans.  On August 6, 2012, we released the results that the study demonstrated the oral bioavailability of RX-3117 in humans, and with no adverse events reported in the study. On December 7, 2012, Teva exercised the third investment option, which constituted the final closing of the Purchase Agreement, and we issued 2,083,333 shares for $750,000.  On December 27, 2012 we received $926,000 from Teva pursuant to a second amendment to the RELO for the further development of RX-3117. On July 15, 2013, we announced that Teva submitted an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for RX-3117 to the FDA. We anticipate that RX-3117 will enter a Phase I clinical trial in the second half of 2013.
RX-5902
 
RX-5902 is a first-in-class small molecule that inhibits the phosphorylated p68 RNA helicase, a protein that plays a key role in cancer growth, progression, and metastasis.  In July, 2012, we submitted an IND Application to the FDA for RX-5902.  As of June 30, 2013, we have incurred approximately $1,700,000 for the development of RX-5902.  RX-5902 may enter Phase I clinical trials during the third quarter of 2013.  We estimate the costs of the Phase I clinical study to be approximately $1,800,000.

Serdaxin and Zoraxel
 
We also have two clinical stage central nervous system candidates, Serdaxin and Zoraxel.  We developed Serdaxin for the treatment of depression and neurodegenerative disorders.  On November 4, 2011 we released results that the study showed Serdaxin did not demonstrate efficacy compared to a placebo group as measured by the Montgomery Asberg-Depression Rating Scale.  At this point, we are currently not allocating resources to further the development of Serdaxin and are looking for partners to fund clinical development.

We developed Zoraxel for the treatment of sexual dysfunction.  Given the results of the Serdaxin clinical trial, and the fact that Serdaxin and Zoraxel share a common ingredient, we are not allocating resources to further the development of Zoraxel, and are looking for partners to fund the clinical development.

Pre-clinical Pipeline
 
RX-0201-Nano, RX-0047-Nano and RX-21101 are all in a pre-clinical stage of development.   Through June 30, 2013, the costs incurred for development of these compounds to date have been approximately $2,482,000.  The estimated cost to complete pre-clinical toxicology and Phase I clinical trials is estimated to be approximately $1,500,000 per each compound.

In July, 2013, we signed an exclusive license agreement with the University of Maryland, Baltimore for a novel drug delivery platform, Nano-Polymer-Drug Conjugate Systems.  This platform combines existing chemotherapeutic agents with a proprietary polymer carrier that contains a signaling moiety which directs the drug into the tumor.  RX-21101 is our first drug candidate utilizing this platform, and is a conjugated form of docetaxel, a common chemotherapy agent.

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, unexpected expenses 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

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $4,055,248 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The operating cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2013 reflect our net loss of $4,638,855 and a net increase of cash components of working capital and non-cash charges totaling $583,607.  Cash used in operating activities was $3,896,381 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Cash provided by investing activities was $521,313 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, consisted of a decrease in restricted cash of $522,922, offset by $1,609 for the purchase of equipment. Cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2,517,874.

Cash provided by financing activities was $26,739 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 which consisted of an exercise by a warrant holder.  There was no cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we experienced a net loss of $4,638,855.  Our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2013 was $67,950,138.

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 six months ended June 30, 2013, we had a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $3,507,196.  Total cash as of June 30, 2013 was $9,979,347 compared to $13,486,543 as of December 31, 2012.  Total cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2013 were $10,648,226.

On July 26, 2013 we closed on a registered direct public offering to issue and sell 11,400,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 3,990,000 shares of common stock.  The common stock and warrants were sold in units, consisting of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.35 shares of common stock, at a price of $0.50 per share, and the warrants have an exercise price of $0.59 per share.  The total gross proceeds of the offering were $5,700,000.  The warrants issued are exercisable beginning six months after the closing date until the five-year anniversary of the closing date, and were recorded as liabilities at fair value.

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 financing, we may not be able to fund the research and development.

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 2 months to 36 months. The costs to be incurred are estimated and are subject to revision. As of June 30, 2013, the total contract value of these agreements was approximately $20,888,410 and we made payments totaling $19,066,863 under the terms of the agreements.  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 resulted in annual commitments of $350,000 to Dr. Chang H. Ahn, our former CEO and current Chief Scientist, $250,000, to Mr. Rick Soni, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and $215,000 for Mr. Tae Heum Jeong, our Chief Financial Officer.

Effective as of February 4, 2013, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Peter Suzdak to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for a term of two years with the option to renew the employment agreement for additional one-year periods thereafter until terminated. Pursuant to the employment agreement the Company agreed to pay Dr. Suzdak an annual base salary of $330,000, with the option of a discretionary annual cash bonus of up to forty percent of his base salary, as determined by performance objectives and milestones set by the Board of Directors.

On March 25, 2013, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Dr. Ahn to serve as the Chief Scientist of the Company. This employment agreement replaces and supersedes Dr. Ahn’s prior Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2010, with the Company. The employment agreement has a one year term with an automatic renewal option for additional one-year periods thereafter until terminated.  Pursuant to the employment agreement, the Company agreed to pay Dr. Ahn an annual base salary of $285,000 with the option of a discretionary annual cash bonus as determined by the Compensation Committee based on performance objectives and milestones set by the Board of Directors.  The employment agreement also provides for a discretionary stock option award to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on each anniversary of the employment agreement as determined by the Board of Directors. Any such stock option awards to be in accordance with the terms of the Company’s stock option plan.

On June 22, 2009, we 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 December 31, 2009.  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.  As of June 30, 2013, this milestone has not occurred.

On June 29, 2009, we signed a five year lease for 5,466 square feet of office space in Rockville, Maryland commencing on June 29, 2009.  Under the leasing agreement, we pay our allocable portion of real estate taxes and common area operating charges in addition to our base rent.  We paid $40,199 and $39,219, for rent under this lease in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $80,398 and $78,437 for rent for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  On June 7, 2013, we entered into the First Amendment to the lease agreement.  According to the terms of the amendment, we extended our lease term until June 30, 2019.  The amendment term begins on July 1, 2013 with an annual base rent of $100,210 and requires annual base rent increases over the next six years.
 
In connection with the lease agreement, we issued a letter of credit of $100,000 in favor of the lessor. On August 2, 2010 and July 1, 2011, the letter of credit was reduced to $50,000, and $37,500 respectively, per the lease agreement.  We have restricted cash equivalents of the same amount for the letter of credit.
On September 21, 2009, the Company closed on the Purchase Agreement with 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 the RELO pursuant to which the Company 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, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Purchase Agreement in which Teva purchased 2,334,515 shares of the common stock of the Company for gross proceeds of $3,950,000, which the Company agreed to use for the further preclinical development of RX-3117.  On December 7, 2012, Teva exercised its option to purchase $750,000 of common stock, and we issued Teva 2,083,333 shares.  This constituted the third and final closing agreed to in the Purchase Agreement, and the use of these funds is not restricted.  On December 27, 2012, we received $926,000 of research funding for the development of RX-3117 from Teva in accordance with a second amendment to the RELO agreement, entered into on November 27, 2012.  We did not issue equity for this transaction.

On May 30, 2012, and June 22, 2011, we signed a one year renewal to use lab space commencing on July 1, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The lease requires monthly rental payments of $4,554.  Rent paid under the lease during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $13,662 and $27,324, respectively.  On June 24, 2013 we extended the agreement for another year with monthly rental payments of $4,554.
 
We established a 401(k) plan for our employees where we match 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s deferral plus 50% of an additional 2% of the employee’s deferral.  Expense related to this matching contribution aggregated $20,531, and $17,873 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Expense related to the matching contribution aggregated $38,247 and $36,337 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

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.  Total cash, including restricted cash, and marketable securities, was $10,648,226 as of June 30, 2013.  Based on our current plans and our capital resources, we believe that our cash, restricted cash, and marketable securities will be sufficient to enable us to meet our minimum planned operating needs over the next eighteen to twenty-four months which would entail focusing our resources on Phase II clinical trials of Archexin, Phase I clinical trials of RX-3117 and RX-5902, and the further development of our preclinical pipeline. Over the next twelve months, we expect to spend a minimum of approximately $2.1 million for Phase II clinical trials of Archexin.  We also expect to pay $1.3 million on the development of RX-3117 and RX-5902, $2.7 million for the development of our preclinical pipeline and general research and development costs, $3.0 million on general corporate expenses, and approximately $150,000 on facilities rent. These figures include our commitments described earlier under “Contractual Obligations” under this Item 2.  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, clinical trials for new product candidates, as well as other research and development projects.  If we are not able to secure additional financing, we may 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.

Impact of Inflation

To date inflationary factors have not had a significant effect on our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Pursuant to a consulting agreement, dated May 8, 2013, by and between Corporate Profile, LLC, and the Company, the Company issued 120,000 shares of common stock to Corporate Profile, LLC in consideration for investor relations services.  The shares of common stock were not registered under the Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the exemptions from registration requirements provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
