FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS





This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The words "may," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "project," "suggest," "intend" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, expected, estimated, projected, suggested or intended.  These risks and uncertainties include risks associated with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and to continue to be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all in order to have available funding for the continued development of Proellex®and Androxal®; the success of the clinical trials for Proellex®and Androxal®;uncertainty related to the Company's ability to obtain approval of the Company's products by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions; uncertainty relating to the Company's patent portfolio; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  For additional discussion of such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, see "Part I. Financial Information - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” to Part I of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


March 31, 2011


(Unaudited)




NOTE 1  —  Organization, Operations and Liquidity




Repros Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”, “RPRX,” “Repros,” or “we,” “us” or “our”) was organized on August 20, 1987. We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of new drugs to treat hormonal and reproductive system disorders.




Our portfolio of products includes:





Androxal®





·
As a treatment for men of reproductive age with low testosterone levels that spares fertility, unlike testosterone replacement therapy; and





·
As a treatment for Type 2 diabetes in hypogonadal men.





Proellex®





·
As a treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis, subject to the current FDA partial clinical hold on the Proellex® clinical trials; however, the FDA has allowed us to run a single study to explore both safety and signals of efficacy in an escalating dose fashion. The new study will test 5 different doses of Proellex® (1, 3, 6, 9 and 12mg) with 1mg being the first dose tested.




We also continue to maintain our patent portfolio of our phentolamine-based products for the treatment of sexual dysfunction and in order to create value from these assets in various ways which includes product out-licensing.




On February 8, 2011, we completed an underwritten public offering of 690,000 units (including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), consisting of an aggregate of 2,760,000 shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase 2,070,000 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 1,690,500 shares of our common stock, at a price per unit of $17.15. Each unit consisted of four shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants exercisable for three shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and Series B Warrants exercisable for 2.45 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.49 per share. Net proceeds to us, after offering expenses, were approximately $10.7 million.  The fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.18%; no dividend yield; volatility of 131.66% and an expected term of six months.  This resulted in a fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants of approximately $5.4 million, which has been recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.




On December 30, 2010 we announced our decision to reinstate our offering of the ATM shares.  As a result, we sold 286,187 ATM Shares at a weighted average share price of $2.90 in January 2011, for proceeds of approximately $831,000, net of expenses.


9




As of March 31, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $181.4 million, approximately $12.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were approximately $1.5 million. We believe we have sufficient funding to complete all of the Phase 2 and 2B clinical trials currently planned or underway; however, significant additional capital will be required for us to complete development of either of our product candidates. Based on these current or planned clinical trials, we will need to raise additional capital no later than the second quarter of 2012.  We continue to explore potential additional financing alternatives (including corporate partnering opportunities) that would provide sufficient funds to enable us to continue to develop our two product candidates through completion of the outlined clinical trials; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any such additional funds on a timely basis or at all.  The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


NOTE  2  —  Patents and Patent Applications




As of March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $1.2 million in capitalized patent and patent application costs reflected on its balance sheet.  This entire amount relates to patent and patent application costs for Androxal®.




Should the Company not continue development of Androxal® or should the Company not continue as a going concern, the remaining capitalized patent and patent application costs may not be recoverable, which would result in charges to operating results in future periods.




NOTE  3  —  Accrued Expenses




Accrued expenses consist of the following (in thousands):

NOTE 4  —  Loss Per Share




Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed using the average share price for the period and applying the treasury stock method to potentially dilutive outstanding options.  In all applicable periods, all potential common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive and, accordingly, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share.




The following table presents information necessary to calculate loss per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Other potential common stock of 4,378,204 and 451,636 common shares underlying stock options for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were excluded from the above calculation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.  Other potential common stock at March 31, 2011 includes Series A Warrants to purchase 2,070,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 and Series B Warrants to purchase 1,690,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.49 issued in our February 8, 2011 public offering.




NOTE 5  —   Commitments andContingencies




Therapeutic uses of our Androxal® product candidate are covered in the United States by four issued U.S. patents and four pending patent applications. Foreign coverage of therapeutic uses of our Androxal® product candidate includes 42 issued foreign patents and 68 foreign pending patent applications. The issued patents and pending applications relate to methods for treating certain conditions including the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men, the treatment of metabolic syndrome and conditions associated therewith, and the treatment of infertility in hypogonadal men. Androxal® (the trans-isomer of clomiphene) is purified from clomiphene citrate. A third party individual holds two issued patents related to the use of an anti-estrogen such as clomiphene citrate and others for use in the treatment of androgen deficiency and disorders related thereto. In our prior filings with the SEC, we have described our request to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, for re-examination of one of these patents based on prior art. The third party amended the claims in the re-examination proceedings, which led the PTO to determine that the amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration and a re-examination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are invalid based on additional prior art publications, and we filed a second request for re-examination by the PTO in light of a number of these additional publications and other publications cited by the PTO. The request was granted and all of the claims were finally rejected by the PTO in the re-examination. The patent holder appealed the rejections to the PTO Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (“the Board”) which affirmed the rejection of all of the claims. The patent holder subsequently filed a request for rehearing, which led the Board to reverse the rejections of several dependent claims in view of those publications under consideration. The patent holder filed a Notice of Appeal to the Federal Circuit on September 28, 2010 contesting the rejections maintained by the Board and submitted his brief on February 8, 2011. We also believe that the second of these two patents is invalid in view of published prior art not considered by the PTO. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that either patent will ultimately be found invalid over the prior art. If such patents are not invalidated by the PTO we may be required to obtain a license from the holder of such patents in order to develop Androxal® further or attempts may be made to undertake further legal action to invalidate such patents. If such licenses were not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize or out-license Androxal®.




On March 3, 2011, we announced the dismissal of our class action lawsuits. In August and September of 2009, several securities fraud class action lawsuits were filed in federal court for the Southern District of Texas against the Company and various of its current or former officers and directors. The lawsuits alleged that the defendants made certain misleading statements related to the Company's Proellex® drug. Among other claims, the lawsuits alleged that the defendants misrepresented the side effects of the drug related to liver function, and the risk that these side effects could cause a suspension of clinical trials on Proellex®. The lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Repros Therapeutics, Inc. Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 09 Civ. 2530 (VDG), and the court appointed lead plaintiffs and class counsel. Lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint making essentially the same allegations as had been made in the prior complaints. Lead plaintiffs sought to represent a class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Repros common stock between July 1, 2009 and August 2, 2009, and asserted claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 19, 2011, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss and entered a final judgment dismissing the case. The time for plaintiffs to file an appeal of that order expired on February 18, 2011.


11




On March 1, 2010, we were served with a lawsuit where we were named as a co-defendant along with one of our clinical regulatory service providers (“CRO”) relating to the Proellex® clinical trial study. The lawsuit was filed in the State of Tennessee, 30th Judicial District Chancery Court at Memphis by an investigator and claims that the CRO did not pay it amounts owing to it relating to the Proellex® study. We did not engage the investigator and under our agreement with the CRO, we believe the CRO is responsible for any such costs or damages regarding such lawsuit. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release entered into in October 2009, such CRO, on behalf of itself and its agents, released us from all claims which could be asserted by them against us. We believe such release covers the claims set forth in this lawsuit. The CRO failed to respond to the lawsuit, and a default judgment was entered against it in the amount of $172,901.29. We intend to vigorously defend any and all claims asserted by the investigator. An estimate of the possible costs or expenses to defend ourselves in this matter or risk of exposure under the litigation cannot be made at this time.




NOTE 6  —   Other Recent Events




On February 28, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in order to simplify the administration of the 2000 Non-Employee Director's Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans") by combining the share reserves of the Prior Plans that remain available for issuance and rolling those shares forward to the Plan.  The Plan is included in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") and will be subject to stockholder approval at such meeting.  Additionally, on February 28, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of stock options to certain key employees and directors of the Company.  The stock options will automatically expire and terminate if the Plan is not approved by its stockholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting to be held on June 1, 2011.  No stock based compensation will be recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations until the Plan is approved by its stockholders.




On March 15, 2011, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s Series A Warrants (RPRXW) and Series B Warrants (RPRXZ) have not had a minimum of two active and registered market makers, as required for continued inclusion by Listing Rule 5560(a) (the “Rule”).  On March 29, 2011, we received notice from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Rule.

We are developing Androxal®, an oral therapy that normalizes testicular function, for the treatment of low testosterone due to secondary hypogonadism. Secondary hypogonadism is associated with aging and we believe it is the most common cause of low testosterone in men. It is estimated that 13 million men in the U.S. experience low levels of testosterone, and the condition is becoming recognized with more frequency. In 2009, for the first time, sales of testosterone preparations for the treatment of low testosterone exceeded $1 billion worldwide and first tier pharmaceutical companies entered the low testosterone marketplace as evidenced by the acquisition of Solvay Pharmaceuticals and the subsequent active marketing of its AndroGel® product by Abbott Laboratories. Eli Lilly and Company also entered into a licensing agreement with a third party for a late stage topical testosterone treatment.




The Company believes Androxal® is highly differentiated from currently marketed testosterone treatments or those treatments in late stage development because it is an oral therapy and it treats the cause of secondary hypogonadism, which is inadequate pituitary hormones. We believe that by treating the cause of secondary hypogonadism it also has the potential to maintain reproductive status and potentially improve overall metabolic profiles, which we believe may improve the condition of men suffering from Type 2 diabetes. The Company held a Type B meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on November 8, 2010 to discuss the FDA’s willingness to review Phase 3 protocols under a Special Protocol Assessment (“SPA”). Although the FDA advised the Company that it may proceed with Phase 3 studies, the FDA recommended that a Phase 2B study in men with secondary hypogonadism, but naïve to testosterone treatment, be conducted if the Company desired the protocols to be reviewed under an SPA. On January 3, 2011, we announced that we have received Investigational Review Board (“IRB”) approval to commence the Phase 2B study of Androxal® in men with secondary hypogonadism, and we have begun enrolling patients. Depending on the rate of subject enrollment, we hope to have the study completed by the end of 2011.




The Company is also currently conducting a Phase 2 study of the use of Androxal® in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in hypogonadal men. Retrospective analysis of completed Androxal® studies showed that Androxal® improved fasting plasma glucose levels in men with Type 2 diabetes, an improvement not seen in similar subjects using a topical testosterone or placebo. The Company believes this effect is directly related to Androxal®’s ability to normalize the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes pathway and organ function.




We are also developing Proellex®, an orally administered selective blocker of the progesterone receptor in women, for the treatment of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. Uterine fibroids and endometriosis affect millions of women of reproductive age. We believe an effective treatment for these underserved conditions could result in sales of a safe and effective drug easily exceeding $1 billion in sales in the U.S. Proellex® had shown statistically significant results in previous Phase 2 studies for endometriosis and uterine fibroids. The Company has recently commenced a low dose escalating study as permitted by the FDA, which is intended to determine both signals of efficacy and safety for low oral doses of the drug.

Both of our product candidates have exhibited strong efficacy results in every study completed to date, and we believe the studies presently underway or scheduled to start shortly will place both programs on a clear late stage clinical development path and a solid position for licensing.




As of March 31, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $181.4 million, approximately $12.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were approximately $1.5 million. On February 8, 2011, we completed a public offering of our common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase common stock which resulted in approximately $10.7 million in net proceeds to us, after offering expenses. See “—Recent Developments” for a description of such offering. We believe we have sufficient funding to complete all of the Phase 2 and 2B clinical trials currently planned or underway; however, significant additional capital will be required for us to complete development of either of our product candidates. Based on these current or planned clinical trials, we will need to raise additional capital no later than the second quarter of 2012.  We continue to explore potential additional financing alternatives (including corporate partnering opportunities) that would provide sufficient funds to enable us to continue to develop our two product candidates through completion of the outlined clinical trials; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any such additional funds on a timely basis or at all. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




Androxal®




Product Overview




Our primary product candidate, Androxal®, is a single isomer of clomiphene citrate and is an orally active proprietary small molecule compound. We are developing Androxal® for men of reproductive age with low testosterone levels. Androxal® treats the underlying mechanism that causes secondary hypogonadism and restores normal testicular function. Unlike testosterone replacement which suppresses testicular function, Androxal® does not impair the reproductive status of men being treated for low testosterone. In addition, we are conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial of Androxal® as a potential treatment for Type 2 diabetes in hypogonadal men.




Testosterone is an important male hormone. Testosterone deficiency in men is linked to several negative physical and mental conditions, including loss of muscle tone, reduced sexual desire, and deterioration of memory and certain other cognitive functions. Testosterone production normally decreases as men age, sometimes leading to testosterone deficiency. The leading therapy for low testosterone is AndroGel®, a commercially available testosterone replacement cream marketed by Abbott Laboratories for the treatment of low testosterone, which we believe has had and continues to have significant sales in North America.




Based on our own clinical trial screening data, we believe over 70% of men that have low testosterone suffer from secondary hypogonadism, a pituitary defect which is characterized by suboptimal levels of LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). LH and FSH are the pituitary hormones that stimulate testicular testosterone and sperm production, respectively. Men with secondary hypogonadism can be readily distinguished from those that have primary testicular failure via assessment of the levels of secretions of pituitary hormones, as men with primary testicular failure experience elevated secretions of pituitary hormones. In secondary hypogonadism, the low levels of LH and FSH fail to provide adequate hormone signaling to the testes, causing testosterone levels to drop to a level where we believe pituitary secretions fall under the influence of estrogen, thus further suppressing the testicular stimulation from the pituitary.


14




Androxal® acts centrally to restore testicular function and hence normal testosterone in the body. The administration of exogenous testosterone can restore serum testosterone levels, but does not restore testicular function and thereby generally leads to the cessation of or significant reduction in sperm production. Androxal®, by contrast, restores levels of both LH and FSH, which stimulate testicular testosterone and sperm production, respectively.




We tested Androxal® in two studies designed to show that Androxal® improved testosterone levels as well as AndroGel® in men with secondary hypogonadism. These studies indicated that Androxal® had a superior ability to improve testosterone levels when compared to AndroGel®, and that the improvement was statistically significant. In a meeting held with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2007, however, the FDA determined that improved testosterone levels alone were not sufficient to grant approval for the drug. In the meeting held on November 8, 2010, the FDA changed its position and determined that improved testosterone levels would be sufficient to grant approval for the drug.




We also believe there may be an association between the restoration of normal pituitary function and improvement of metabolic conditions such as Type 2 diabetes. Research has been published which demonstrates that increased insulin resistance, a characteristic implicated in Type 2 diabetes, is associated with the onset of secondary hypogoandism. Based on our own clinical trial screening data, we have found hypogonadism and Type 2 diabetes to be comorbid conditions in a significant number of men. A retrospective analysis of the clinical trial data from our completed Androxal® studies showed that Androxal® improved fasting plasma glucose levels in men with Type 2 diabetes, suggesting that Androxal® modifies the endocrinologic profile in terms of both hormones and certain metabolic measures. This improvement was not seen in similar subjects using a topical testosterone or placebo. In a large trial conducted by Solvay Pharmaceuticals, AndroGel® was found to have no positive effect on glycemic control in hypogonadal men who were also Type 2 diabetic regardless of how much the exogenous testosterone concentration increased. Contrary to the results seen with exogenous testosterone, Androxal® did exhibit positive effects on glycemic control, and we believe these effects are directly related to Androxal®’s ability to normalize the hypothalamic-pituitary-testes pathway and organ function.




Androxal® will be required to undergo the full regulatory approval process, including the current Phase 2B trial, pivotal Phase 3 trial and long-term Open Label Safety Studies as well as other requirements. Androxal® is closely related chemically to the drug, Clomid®, which is approved for use in women to treat certain infertility disorders. Clomid® contains both the trans and cis isomers of clomiphene citrate; Androxal® contains only the trans isomer. The FDA has indicated that testicular tumors, gynecomastia and adverse ophthalmologic events, which have been reported in males taking Clomid®, are potential risks that should be included in informed consent forms for our Androxal® clinical trials. We do not believe that Androxal® will present with the same adverse events given its reduced half-life in the human body as compared to Clomid®. In our preclinical studies and our clinical trials to date, we have observed no evidence of any of these events except for certain ophthalmologic events in our preclinical dog study at doses significantly higher than those administered in the clinical trials.




All clinical trial results are subject to review by the FDA, and the FDA may disagree with our conclusions about safety and efficacy. We caution that the results discussed herein are based on data from non-pivotal trials and that our current Phase 2 trials, and any necessary pivotal Phase 3 and long-term Open Label Safety Trial data may not agree with these results which will be based upon significantly larger and more diverse patient populations treated for longer periods of time.




Treatment for Secondary Hypogonadism in Men Wishing to Preserve Testicular Function (Reproductive Status)




On November 8, 2010, we held a Type B meeting with the FDA to discuss whether the FDA would review our protocols for a Phase 3 trial of Androxal® in men with secondary hypogonadism under an SPA. In the meeting, the FDA recommended that a Phase 2B study in men with secondary hypogonadism but naïve to testosterone treatment be conducted if the Company desired the protocols to be reviewed under an SPA. The FDA further opined that such Phase 2B study would provide for a more solid data base for design of Phase 3 studies and eventual approval of such studies under an SPA. In our 24-patient Phase 2B proof-of-concept clinical trial which was initiated in the second quarter of 2008, we monitored the effects of Androxal® on male fertility and testicular function in patients being treated for low testosterone as compared to Testim®, a popular marketed topical testosterone medication. This trial showed that Androxal® was able to maintain sperm counts in men being treated for their low testosterone levels, whereas Testim® resulted in suppressed sperm levels.


15




The Company’s Phase 2B trial, which has begun enrolling patients, consists of four arms; placebo, two doses of Androxal® and topical testosterone. We hope that the study will be fully enrolled by the end of the third quarter 2011. At baseline the men should exhibit morning testosterone less than 250 ng/dl. The primary endpoint will consist of total testosterone at the end of the three month study compared to baseline. Impact on reproductive status (sperm counts) will be assessed as a safety endpoint. In a previous study, we found a statistically significant improvement in morning testosterone in a subset of men with morning testosterone less than 250 ng/dl and no deterioration of FSH in Androxal®-treated men. However, in the men on topical testosterone, 26 out of the 41 men that completed three months of dosing exhibited FSH levels below the reference limits for the hormone, with 17 below the lower limit of detection.




Unlike testosterone replacement therapies, Androxal® maintains the normal daily rhythm of testosterone peaks and valleys. We previously conducted three studies in which 24 hour testosterone levels were obtained and, unlike topical testosterone, morning testosterone was the maximum concentration observed, consistent with the normal circadian rhythm in men. We combined the three studies into one analysis, which has been submitted for FDA review. This analysis provides evidence that one assessment of testosterone between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. correlates to the maximum value of testosterone for a given subject on a given day. We have committed to conduct one additional 24 hour study to show that Androxal®’s action in maintaining the normal rhythm is both predictable and dose-dependent.




We believe the advantages of oral delivery, maintenance of testicular function and additional metabolic benefits will be important differentiating factors for Androxal®, should it be approved. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in implementing this strategy or that the FDA will approve our drug for commercial use.




Type 2 Diabetes




Our findings from a retrospective review of the clinical data from our 200 patient non-pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial showed that Androxal® therapy resulted in a significant reduction in mean fasting plasma glucose levels in men with glucose levels greater than 104 mg/dL at the outset of the trial, an outcome not seen in the placebo or AndroGel® arms of this study. Based on these results, in April 2008, we submitted a White Paper to the Division of Reproductive and Urology Products. The data demonstrated that among subjects with a serum glucose of greater than or equal to 105 mg/dL, there was a higher response rate to treatment in the Androxal® group than the placebo or AndroGel® groups, and the reduction in fasting serum glucose in this group was statistically significant. In November 2008, after the FDA reviewed this paper we received guidance from them suggesting that we open a new IND with the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Products, or DMEP, for the investigation of Androxal® as a potential treatment for Type 2 diabetes. In December 2009, we submitted an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) to DMEP for the investigation of Androxal® for such purpose. On February 1, 2010, we received confirmation from DMEP that our IND was accepted and, as a result, we have initiated our Phase 2 trial. This trial will enroll 135 men with morning testosterone levels under 300 ng/dl who also have a fasting glucose level between 125 mg and 240 mg per deciliter and glycated hemoglobin, or HbA1c, levels between 7% and 9.5% - levels indicative of poor glucose control. Enrolled patients also will have been on a stable dose of an oral hypoglycemic agent for at least 2 months. We will split the men into three arms, one placebo and two doses of Androxal®, at 12.5 and 25 mg. We will look at changes in fasting glucose and HbA1C levels from baseline, along with changes in testosterone level. We hope that the study will be fully enrolled by the end of the third quarter 2011.

Proellex®




Product Overview




Proellex®, our product candidate for female reproductive health, is a new chemical entity that acts as a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor and is being developed for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis. There are currently no FDA-approved orally administered drug treatments for the long-term treatment of either uterine fibroids or endometriosis. The National Uterine Fibroids Foundation estimates that 80% of all women in the U.S. have uterine fibroids, and one in four of these women have symptoms severe enough to require treatment. According to the Endometriosis Association, endometriosis affects 6.3 million women in the U.S. and Canada and millions more worldwide.




The current standards of care for uterine fibroids and endometriosis consist of surgery or short-term treatment with goanadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists drugs, such as Lupron®. GnRH agonists induce a low estrogen, menopausal-like state and promote bone loss and are not recommended for use for more than six months.




We have conducted numerous studies with Proellex® enrolling over 750 women, roughly 700 of whom were dosed with the drug. All Proellex® studies completed to date exhibited strong efficacy signals, whether in uterine fibroids or endometriosis. In a 120 patient study of Proellex® as a treatment of uterine fibroids conducted in the United States (roughly 40 subjects per arm), both a 12.5 and 25 mg dose of Proellex® were compared to placebo. In this study each of the 12.5 and 25 mg doses achieved highly statistically significant results when compared to placebo when menstrual bleeding was assessed (p<0.0001). The two doses also achieved highly statistically significant improvement in quality of life measures using the Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life questionnaire developed and validated by Georgetown University and used in the development of device like treatments of uterine fibroids such as uterine artery embolization. There was no statistical difference in efficacy measures between the two doses. Importantly, in the Phase 2 U.S. trial a significant percentage of women stopped menstruating. Proellex® resulted in the induction of amenorrhea (cessation of menses), which we believe is a strong surrogate signal of efficacy. Over 80% of women on both the 12.5 and 25 mg doses exhibited no menses during the three month trial, whereas all women on placebo exhibited at least one menses.




Up until the summer of 2009, all side effects exhibited in the studies were considered manageable and the benefit of Proellex® far outweighed the risk. However, in Phase 3 efficacy and larger Phase 3 safety studies in diverse populations, a small number of subjects exhibited serious adverse effects associated with elevated liver enzymes. As a result of these findings, we elected to stop the trials and the FDA subsequently placed Proellex® on full clinical hold. All women that experienced elevated liver enzymes and returned for follow-up visits returned to baseline conditions with no overnight hospitalization necessary. An analysis of all the subjects that experienced such serious adverse effects showed that the effect only occurred in a small percentage of subjects that were exposed to the 50 mg dose of the drug for any period of time. Based on these findings, the Company petitioned the FDA to allow it to conduct a low dose study to demonstrate both safety and signals of efficacy in low oral doses of Proellex®, up to 12 mg administered per day. The FDA upgraded the full clinical hold to a partial hold to allow the low dose study to be conducted, which we have since commenced. In addition, the Company has undertaken two related initiatives presently at the preclinical stage. The first is the exploration of vaginal delivery as an alternative administrative route to bypass first-pass liver effects and reduce systemic exposure. The second is the screening of second generation molecules that do not possess the specific structures the Company believes induced the liver toxicity exhibited at higher doses of Proellex®.


17




Low Dose Study




Pursuant to the terms of the partial clinical hold currently in place as a result of the liver toxicity exhibited by Proellex®, the FDA is allowing us to run a single study to test low doses of Proellex® for signals of safety and efficacy. The new study is testing 5 different doses of Proellex® (1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 mg), with 1 mg being the first dose tested. Each dose will be compared to placebo with weekly assessments of liver function during both the placebo and drug period. Higher doses will not be studied until we are confident that it is safe to proceed to the next dose and have reported the safety findings to the FDA. Subjects will be dosed with the active drug for 10 weeks, which will allow for adequate time to determine the impact of a given dose on trends in liver function. Each dose will be tested in up to 12 different subjects and assessment of pharmacokinetic parameters will be obtained at the start of dosing and the end of the dosing period to determine overall and maximum drug exposure for a given dose. We will also monitor changes in menstrual bleeding patterns and ovulation as well as changes in endometrial thickness. The FDA required that an independent Drug Safety Monitoring Board be established and that the informed consent clearly state the liver toxicity previously experienced with Proellex®.




We believe we can complete the trial by year end 2011. As of March 18, 2011, we have begun administering the 6 mg dose. To date, no women have exhibited elevated liver enzymes indicative of an adverse event. Presuming a safe and effective dose is identified and the FDA is in agreement, we believe that we will be able to proceed with large Phase 3 efficacy trials for both uterine fibroids and endometriosis in 2012, subject to available funds, or out-license the product to a major pharmaceutical company. We believe that the evaluation of ovulation and menstrual bleeding patterns in the low dose trial will provide strong evidence for efficacy warranting further development.




Vaginal Administration




We are assessing vaginal administration of Proellex® to avoid first pass liver effects and achieve higher reproductive tract concentrations of the drug while minimizing systemic exposure. We reported results from two in vivo animal studies which confirmed reduced maximum circulating concentrations of the drug when administered vaginally, as well as efficacy signals at substantially lower doses than oral administration. Pending the outcome of dose optimization and vaginal irritation studies, we intend to open an IND for both uterine fibroids and endometriosis. We believe we will be able to leverage the experience we have gained with the oral dose in the preparation of this IND, and after a single Phase 1/2 study we will be able to test the vaginal product in a pivotal Phase 3 study. We plan on completing our preclinical proof-of-concept work by during the second quarter 2011 and will then submit an IND if warranted.




Second Generation Compound




We believe we understand the cause of the liver toxicity observed at high doses in the prior Phase 3 Proellex® studies. Our hypothesis is that liver adverse events are associated with a specific part of the chemical structure of Proellex®. To that end we have synthesized new but related molecules that are devoid of the specific toxicity-causing part of the chemical structure of Proellex® and initial preclinical screening has begun. If we are successful in identifying such a molecule, we believe we will be able to achieve high oral doses and systemic exposure, opening the path to aggressive anti progestin therapy for conditions such as breast cancer. We expect to have completed our screen of the new molecules by the end of 2011.




Other Products




We continue limited out-licensing efforts for our phentolamine-based product candidates, including VASOMAX®, which had previously been approved for marketing in several countries in Latin America for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction under the brand name, Z-Max. VASOMAX® has been on partial clinical hold in the U.S. since 1998, and no further development activities are planned.




Business Strategy




We plan to focus our clinical program on (i) the current escalating low dose study for Proellex® permitted by the FDA, (ii) the ongoing Phase 2B fertility trial for Androxal®, (iii) the ongoing Type 2 diabetes trial for Androxal®, (iv) preclinical assessment of vaginal delivery of Proellex® and (v) completing the initial identification of potential second generation Proellex® molecules. We anticipate that our current liquidity will be sufficient to complete all of these objectives; however, significant additional capital will be required for us to complete development of either of our product candidates. We will continue to explore corporate partnering opportunities for assistance in the clinical development funding and commercialization of our products, as appropriate; however, there can be no assurance that an acceptable corporate partnering opportunity will be successfully completed.

Risks Affecting Us





Our business is subject to numerous risks as discussed more fully in “Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this quarterly report.  We are investigating a variety of sources for raising capital.  No assurance can be given that we will be successful in obtaining financing on acceptable terms or at all.  We anticipate that if we are able to secure financing, that such financing will result in significant dilution of the ownership interests of our current stockholders and may provide certain rights to the new investors senior to the rights of our current stockholders, including but not limited to voting rights and rights to proceeds in the event of a sale or liquidation of the Company.  In the event that we are unable to obtain adequate financing to meet our future needs, we will pursue other options, including but not limited to, reductions of expenses, sale of the Company, sale or license of a portion or all of our assets or the liquidation of the Company.





In addition, we have not received regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, have not successfully earned any significant commercial revenues from any of our product candidates and may never launch either of our product candidates.  If we do not successfully commercialize any of our product candidates, we will be unable to achieve our business objectives.  In addition, the reported results of our clinical trials completed to date may not be indicative of results that will be achieved in later-stage clinical trials involving larger and more diverse patient populations.  As of March 31, 2011, we had accumulated losses of $181.4 million, approximately $12.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were approximately $1.5 million.   We believe we have sufficient funding to complete all of the Phase 2 and 2B clinical trials currently planned or underway; however, significant additional capital will be required for us to complete development of either of our product candidates.  Based on these current or planned clinical trials, we will need to raise additional capital no later than the second quarter of 2012.  The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and we expect to continue to incur significant losses over the next several years, and we may never become profitable.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

We were organized as a Delaware corporation in August 1987.  Our principal executive offices are located at 2408 Timberloch Place, Suite B-7, The Woodlands, Texas, 77380, and our telephone number is (281) 719-3400. We maintain an internet website at www.reprosrx.com.  The information on our website or any other website is not incorporated by reference into this quarterly report and does not constitute a part of this quarterly report. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to such reports are made available free of charge through the Investor Relations section of our website as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





Recent Developments





On December 30, 2010 we announced our decision to reinstate our offering of the ATM shares.  As a result, we sold 286,187 ATM Shares at a weighted average share price of $2.90 in January 2011, for proceeds of approximately $831,000, net of expenses.




19


On February 8, 2011, we completed an underwritten public offering of 690,000 units (including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), consisting of an aggregate of 2,760,000 shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase 2,070,000 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 1,690,500 shares of our common stock, at a price per unit of $17.15. Each unit consisted of four shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants exercisable for three shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and Series B Warrants exercisable for 2.45 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.49 per share. Net proceeds to us, after offering expenses, were approximately $10.7 million.  The fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.18%; no dividend yield; volatility of 131.66% and an expected term of six months.  This resulted in a fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants of approximately $5.4 million, which has been recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.




On February 28, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Company's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in order to simplify the administration of the 2000 Non-Employee Director's Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Prior Plans") by combining the share reserves of the Prior Plans that remain available for issuance and rolling those shares forward to the Plan.  The Plan is included in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") and will be subject to stockholder approval at such meeting.  Additionally, on February 28, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved grants of stock options to certain key employees and directors of the Company.  The stock options will automatically expire and terminate if the Plan is not approved by its stockholders at the 2011 Annual Meeting to be held on June 1, 2011.   No stock based compensation will be recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations until the Plan is approved by its stockholders.




On March 3, 2011, we announced the dismissal of our class action lawsuits. In August and September of 2009, several securities fraud class action lawsuits were filed in federal court for the Southern District of Texas against the Company and various of its current or former officers and directors. The lawsuits alleged that the defendants made certain misleading statements related to the Company's Proellex drug. Among other claims, the lawsuits alleged that the defendants misrepresented the side effects of the drug related to liver function, and the risk that these side effects could cause a suspension of clinical trials on Proellex. The lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Repros Therapeutics, Inc. Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 09 Civ. 2530 (VDG), and the court appointed lead plaintiffs and class counsel. Lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint making essentially the same allegations as had been made in the prior complaints. Lead plaintiffs sought to represent a class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Repros common stock between July 1, 2009 and August 2, 2009, and asserted claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 19, 2011, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss and entered a final judgment dismissing the case. The time for plaintiffs to file an appeal of that order expired on February 18, 2011.




On March 15, 2011, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s Series A Warrants (RPRXW) and Series B Warrants (RPRXZ) have not had a minimum of two active and registered market makers, as required for continued inclusion by Listing Rule 5560(a) (the “Rule”).  On March 29, 2011, we received notice from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Rule.

General




We have experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and have funded our activities to date primarily from equity financings and corporate collaborations.  Based on our current and planned clinical trials, we will need to raise additional capital no later than the second quarter of 2012 in order to continue our development activities. It is possible that our current and planned clinical trial activities will be more costly and take longer than we anticipate; accordingly, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be necessary prior to the time anticipated. We believe that we will secure sufficient capital to continue our ongoing and planned clinical programs assuming that the results of our current or planned clinical trials with Androxal® and Proellex® are favorable.  If the results of these trials are unfavorable, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional capital in amounts sufficient to continue to fund its operations, which outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The uncertainties relating to the foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.




We have 7 full time and 3 part time employees.  We utilize the services of contract research organizations, contract manufacturers and various consultants to assist us in performing clinical and regulatory services for the clinical development of our products.  We are substantially dependent on our various contract groups to adequately perform the activities required to obtain regulatory approval of our products.




We have accumulated net operating losses through March 31, 2011 and the value of the tax asset associated with these accumulated net operating losses can be substantially diminished in value due to various tax regulations, including change in control provisions in the tax code.   The Company’s public offerings completed on February 5, 2007, October 2, 2008, September 11, 2009, October 13, 2009, February 8, 2011, the sale and issuance of the ATM Shares and the issuance of unregistered shares as part of the October 29, 2009 Settlement Agreement and Subsequent Settlement Agreements may have created a change of ownership for Federal Income tax purposes.  The Company has not undertaken a study to determine if this has occurred.  A change in ownership for Federal Income tax purposes may result in a limitation on the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in future periods.




Losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical trials for our product candidates, in research and development activities related to efforts to develop our products and from the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete the transition from a development stage company to the successful introduction of commercially viable products.  Our ability to achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successfully completing the clinical development of our products in a reasonable time frame and at a reasonable cost, obtaining regulatory approvals, establishing marketing, sales and manufacturing capabilities or collaborative arrangements with others that possess such capabilities, and, if applicable, continuing to raise sufficient funds to finance our activities.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability.




Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates




The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.




Capitalized Patent and Patent Application Costs




We capitalize the cost associated with building our patent library for Androxal®.  As of March 31, 2011, other assets consist of capitalized patent and patent application costs in the amount of $1.2 million.  Patent costs, which include legal and application costs related to the patent portfolio, are being amortized over 20 years, or the lesser of the legal or the estimated economic life of the patent.  Amortization of patent costs was $24,000 and $14,000 for the three month periods ended March, 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The entire $1.2 million in capitalized patents and patent applications relates to Androxal®.




21


We review capitalized patent and patent application costs for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment exists when estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the patent are less than its carrying amount.  The impairment loss recognized represents the excess of the patent cost as compared to its estimated fair value.  We believe that our remaining capitalized patent and patent application costs are not impaired as of March 31, 2011.




Should the Company not continue development of either drug candidate or should the Company not continue as a going concern, capitalized patent and patent application costs may not be recoverable, which would result in a charge to operating results in future periods.




Accrued Expenses




We estimate accrued expenses as part of our process of preparing financial statements. Examples of areas in which subjective judgments may be required include costs associated with services provided by contract organizations for clinical trials, preclinical development and manufacturing of clinical materials.  We accrue for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trials or services provided and the invoices received from our external service providers.  In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in our trials, and we recognize this cost over the estimated term of the study based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial on an ongoing basis, beginning with patient enrollment.  As actual costs become known to us, we adjust our accruals.  To date, our estimates have not differed significantly from the actual costs incurred.  However, subsequent changes in estimates may result in a material change in our accruals, which could also materially affect our balance sheet and results of operations.




R&D Expense




Research and development, or R&D, expenses include salaries and related employee expenses, contracted regulatory affairs activities, insurance coverage for clinical trials and prior product sales, contracted research and consulting fees, facility costs, amortization of capitalized patent costs and internal research and development supplies.  We expense research and development costs in the period they are incurred.  These costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with specific projects as well as fees paid to various entities that perform research on our behalf.




Share-Based Compensation




On February 28, 2011, our Board of Directors approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which superseded and replaced our then-current two share based compensation plans, the 2000 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan and the 2004 Stock Option Plan, subject to stockholder approval.  Accounting for stock based compensation generally requires the recognition of the cost of employee services for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.  We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock options.  Expected volatility is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices for a period equal to the expected term.  The expected volatility assumption is adjusted if future volatility is expected to vary from historical experience.  The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and falls between the options' vesting and contractual expiration dates.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield at the date of grant of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period equals the option's expected term.




22


Income Taxes




Our losses from inception to date have resulted principally from costs incurred in conducting clinical trials and in research and development activities related to efforts to develop our products and from the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts.  We have recorded a deferred tax asset for our net operating losses (“NOL”); however, as the Company has incurred losses since inception, and since there is no certainty of future profits, a valuation allowance has been provided in full on our deferred tax assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  If the Company has an opportunity to use this NOL to off-set tax liabilities in the future, the use of this asset would be restricted based on Internal Revenue Service, state and local NOL use guidelines.  The Company’s public offerings completed on February 5, 2007, October 2, 2008, September 11, 2009, October 13, 2009, February 8, 2011, the sale and issuance of the ATM Shares and the issuance of unregistered shares as part of the October 29, 2009 Settlement Agreement and Subsequent Settlement Agreements may have created a change of ownership for Federal Income tax purposes.  The Company has not undertaken a study to determine if this has occurred.  A change in ownership for Federal Income tax purposes may result in a limitation on the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in future periods.




Results of Operations




Comparison of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010




Research and Development Expenses




Research and development, or R&D, expenses include contracted services relating to our clinical product development activities which include preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory affairs and bulk manufacturing scale-up activities and bulk active ingredient purchases for preclinical and clinical trials primarily relating to our two products in clinical development, which are Androxal® and Proellex®.  Research and development expenses also include internal operating expenses relating to our general research and development activities.  R&D expenses increased 223% or approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $458,000 for the same period in the prior year.  Our primary R&D expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are shown in the following table (in thousands):

The increase in R&D expenses is primarily due to the increased clinical development expenses related to Androxal® as a result of the initiation of the Phase 2 study as a potential treatment for Type 2 diabetes in hypogonadal men and the Phase 2B study in men with secondary hypogonadism.  R&D expenses were further increased due to the ongoing dose escalating study being conducted on Proellex® initiated in the third quarter of 2010.  Additionally, payroll and benefits expenses increased due to increased headcount and the discontinuation of the salary reduction program put in place in August 2009 for all salaried R&D employees.




23




To date through March 31, 2011 we have incurred approximately $15.6 million for the development of Androxal® and approximately $56.5 million for the development of Proellex®.  These accumulated costs exclude any internal operating expenses.





General and Administrative Expenses




General and administrative expenses, or G&A, decreased 5% or approximately $34,000 to  $635,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $669,000 for the same period in the prior year.

G&A payroll and benefits expenses include salaries, bonuses, relocation expense, severance costs, non-cash stock option compensation expense and fringe benefits.  Included in payroll and benefits expense is a charge for non-cash stock option expense of $78,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $74,000 for the same period in the prior year.  Additionally, salaries for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 were $104,000 as compared to $63,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in salaries is primarily due to the discontinuation of the salary reduction program put in place in August 2009 for all salaried employees other than Mr. Podolski, the Company’s President and CEO, and Mr. Podolski’s salary was revised to a 25% reduction.




G&A operating and occupancy expenses, which include expenses to operate as a public company, decreased 15% or approximately $77,000 to $439,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $516,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in professional services.




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements




As of March 31, 2011, the only off-balance sheet arrangement we have is the operating lease relating to our facility.




Liquidity and Capital Resources




Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from private placements and public offerings of equity securities and with funds received under collaborative agreements.




24


On February 12, 2010, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time through Ladenburg, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10 million (the “ATM Shares”).  Ladenburg is not required to sell on our behalf any specific number or dollar amount of the ATM Shares, but Ladenburg, upon acceptance of written instructions from us, agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its customary trading and sales practices, to sell the ATM Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of a placement notice delivered to Ladenburg. We have no obligation to sell any ATM Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement, and may at any time suspend sales under the Equity Distribution Agreement, provided that such suspension shall not affect either party’s obligations with respect to the ATM Shares sold prior to the receipt of notice of such suspension.  Ladenburg receives a commission of 4% of the gross sales price of all ATM Shares sold through it under the Equity Distribution Agreement. The ATM Shares are issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-163648).  Between January 1, 2011 and March 31, 2011, we have sold an aggregate of 286,187 ATM Shares at a weighted average share price of $3.02,for proceeds of approximately $831,000, net of expenses.  Cumulative through March 31, 2011, we have sold 2,734,760 ATM Shares at a weighted average share price of $2.79,for proceeds of approximately $7.2 million, net of expenses.  Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, we may not sell more than one-third of the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates during a period of 12 calendar months immediately prior to, and including, the date of such sale of such common stock.





On February 8, 2011, we completed an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 690,000 units (including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option), consisting of an aggregate of 2,760,000 shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants to purchase 2,070,000 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants to purchase 1,690,500 shares of our common stock, at a price per unit of $17.15. Each unit consisted of four shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants exercisable for three shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and Series B Warrants exercisable for 2.45 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.49 per share. Net proceeds to us, after offering expenses, were approximately $10.7 million.  The fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.18%; no dividend yield; volatility of 131.66% and an expected term of six months.  This resulted in a fair value of the Series A and Series B Warrants of approximately $5.4 million, which has been recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.




Our primary use of cash to date has been in operating activities to fund research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials, and general and administrative expenses.  We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12.6 million as of March 31, 2011 as compared to $3.0 million as of December 31, 2010.  All cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were held in an account backed by U.S. government securities.




Net cash of approximately $1.8 million and $1.1 million was used in operating activities during the three month period ended March 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The major use of cash for operating activities through March 31, 2011 was to fund our operations, partially offset by an increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses.  Cash used in investing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $48,000 primarily for capitalized patent and patent application costs for Androxal®.  Cash provided by financing activities during the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $11.5 million due to the Public Offering and the 286,187 ATM Shares sold at a weighted average share price of $3.02.




We have experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception.  We will require substantial funds for research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts if appropriate, if the FDA or other regulatory approvals are obtained.  Based on our current and planned clinical activities, we will need to raise additional capital no later than the second quarter of 2012 or seek additional funding in the public or private capital markets through corporate collaborations or other financing vehicles in order to continue our development activities. There can be no assurance that any such funding will be available to us on favorable terms or at all.  If we are successful in obtaining additional financing, the terms of such financing may have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or the rights of holders of our common stock.  It is possible that our clinical trial activities will be more costly and take longer than we anticipate; accordingly, there can be no assurance that additional capital will not be necessary prior to the time anticipated.  Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, which are discussed in detail in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” to Part I of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Additionally, as discussed in Note 5, there is a third party individual patent holder that claims priority over our patent application for Androxal®.  The uncertainties relating to the foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




25


Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, and depend on, among other factors, our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, on our ability to be successful in our clinical trials, the regulatory approval process in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions and the ability to complete new licenses and product development agreements.  The timing of our revenues may not match the timing of our associated product development expenses.  To date, research and development expenses have usually exceeded revenue in any particular period and/or fiscal year.




Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk




Interest Rate Risk.We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12.6 million at March 31, 2011 which is held in an account backed by U.S. government securities.  Although this cash account is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and market conditions, no significant gain or loss on this account is expected to be recognized in earnings.  We do not invest in derivative securities.




Item 4.  Controls and Procedures




Disclosure Controls and Procedures




Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), were effective as of March 31, 2011.




Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting




In connection with the evaluation described above, we identified no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings




Therapeutic uses of our Androxal® product candidate are covered in the United States by four issued U.S. patents and four pending patent applications. Foreign coverage of therapeutic uses of our Androxal® product candidate includes 42 issued foreign patents and 68 foreign pending patent applications. The issued patents and pending applications relate to methods for treating certain conditions including the treatment of testosterone deficiency in men, the treatment of metabolic syndrome and conditions associated therewith, and the treatment of infertility in hypogonadal men. Androxal® (the trans-isomer of clomiphene) is purified from clomiphene citrate. A third party individual holds two issued patents related to the use of an anti-estrogen such as clomiphene citrate and others for use in the treatment of androgen deficiency and disorders related thereto. In our prior filings with the SEC, we have described our request to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or PTO, for re-examination of one of these patents based on prior art. The third party amended the claims in the re-examination proceedings, which led the PTO to determine that the amended claims are patentable in view of those publications under consideration and a re-examination certificate was issued. However, we believe that the amended claims are invalid based on additional prior art publications, and we filed a second request for re-examination by the PTO in light of a number of these additional publications and other publications cited by the PTO. The request was granted and all of the claims were finally rejected by the PTO in the re-examination. The patent holder appealed the rejections to the PTO Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (“the Board”) which affirmed the rejection of all of the claims. The patent holder subsequently filed a request for rehearing, which led the Board to reverse the rejections of several dependent claims in view of those publications under consideration. The patent holder filed a Notice of Appeal to the Federal Circuit on September 28, 2010 contesting the rejections maintained by the Board and submitted his brief on February 8, 2011. We also believe that the second of these two patents is invalid in view of published prior art not considered by the PTO. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that either patent will ultimately be found invalid over the prior art. If such patents are not invalidated by the PTO we may be required to obtain a license from the holder of such patents in order to develop Androxal® further or attempts may be made to undertake further legal action to invalidate such patents. If such licenses were not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we may not be able to successfully commercialize or out-license Androxal®.




On March 3, 2011, we announced the dismissal of our class action lawsuits. In August and September of 2009, several securities fraud class action lawsuits were filed in federal court for the Southern District of Texas against the Company and various of its current or former officers and directors. The lawsuits alleged that the defendants made certain misleading statements related to the Company's Proellex drug. Among other claims, the lawsuits alleged that the defendants misrepresented the side effects of the drug related to liver function, and the risk that these side effects could cause a suspension of clinical trials on Proellex. The lawsuits were consolidated under the caption In re Repros Therapeutics, Inc. Securities Litigation, Civil Action No. 09 Civ. 2530 (VDG), and the court appointed lead plaintiffs and class counsel. Lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint making essentially the same allegations as had been made in the prior complaints. Lead plaintiffs sought to represent a class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Repros common stock between July 1, 2009 and August 2, 2009, and asserted claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 19, 2011, the court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss and entered a final judgment dismissing the case. The time for plaintiffs to file an appeal of that order expired on February 18, 2011.




27




On March 1, 2010, we were served with a lawsuit where we were named as a co-defendant along with one of our clinical regulatory service providers (“CRO”) relating to the Proellex® clinical trial study. The lawsuit was filed in the State of Tennessee, 30th Judicial District Chancery Court at Memphis by an investigator and claims that the CRO did not pay it amounts owing to it relating to the Proellex® study. We did not engage the investigator and under our agreement with the CRO, we believe the CRO is responsible for any such costs or damages regarding such lawsuit. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release entered into in October 2009, such CRO, on behalf of itself and its agents, released us from all claims which could be asserted by them against us. We believe such release covers the claims set forth in this lawsuit. The CRO failed to respond to the lawsuit, and a default judgment was entered against it in the amount of $172,901.29. We intend to vigorously defend any and all claims asserted by the investigator. An estimate of the possible costs or expenses to defend ourselves in this matter or risk of exposure under the litigation cannot be made at this time.
