Report for: SYN
ROCKVILLE, Md., May 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Synthetic Biologics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SYN), a clinical stage company focused on developing therapeutics to protect the gut microbiome, today provided an operational update and reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
“Our momentum from 2015 carried into the first quarter of 2016, as we continued to make important clinical progress in our microbiome-focused programs. During the quarter, we announced positive topline results from the second Phase 2 clinical trial of SYN-010 in patients with IBS-C. We are scheduled to present detailed data supporting previously reported positive topline data from both SYN-010 Phase 2 clinical trials in a poster presentation at DDW 2016 later this month. We also look forward to holding an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA this summer to discuss late-stage clinical trials of our SYN-010 program,” said Jeffrey Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synthetic Biologics. “With this sustained progress, we are well positioned to initiate Phase 3 clinical trials of SYN-010 during the second half of this year.”
Mr. Riley continued, “We’ve also made important strides with our program to prevent C. difficile infection and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Patient enrollment is complete in the second Phase 2a clinical trial designed to evaluate the GI antibiotic-degrading ability and the safety of SYN-004 in the presence of a proton pump inhibitor. In addition, patient recruitment in our Phase 2b proof-of-concept clinical trial for SYN-004 has been strong as we have enrolled approximately 185 patients in this global clinical trial. We look forward to further progress in our SYN-004 clinical trials and are expecting topline results from the second Phase 2a clinical trial during the second quarter of 2016 and an interim analysis of blinded data performed by an independent data monitoring committee for the Phase 2b clinical trial this summer.”

Quarter Ended March 31, 2016 Financial Results
General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2015. This increase was primarily the result of increased employee costs associated with the transition of the administrative and financial office to Maryland headquarters, and increased legal fees and stock-based compensation expense. Non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation were $643,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $582,000 for the same period in 2015.
Research and development expenses were $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2015. This increase was primarily the result of increased Phase 2 program costs associated with expanded clinical development, manufacturing and research activities within our microbiome-focused pipeline. Non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation were $409,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $246,000 for the same period in 2015.
Other expense was $497,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2015. Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was due to non-cash expense of $498,000 from the change in fair value of warrants. The increase in the fair value of the warrants was due to the increase in the stock price from the year ended December 31, 2015. Non-cash expense related to fair value of warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $4.2 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2016 were $15.1 million, compared to $20.8 million at December 31, 2015.
