| Organization and Description of Business | 1. Organization and Description of Business
Oncobiologics, Inc. (“Oncobiologics” or the “Company”) was incorporated in New Jersey on January 5, 2010 and started operations in July 2011. In October 2015, the Company reincorporated in Delaware through the merger with and into Oncobiologics, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation, with the Delaware corporation surviving the merger. Oncobiologics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, developing, manufacturing and commercializing complex biosimilar therapeutics in the disease areas of immunology and oncology. The Company has established fully integrated in-house development and manufacturing capabilities that addresses the numerous complex technical and regulatory challenges in developing and commercializing mAb biosimilars. Since inception, the Company has advanced two product candidates into clinical trials: a Phase 3-ready biosimilar to adalimumab (Humira®) and a Phase 3-ready biosimilar to bevacizumab (Avastin®). Additionally, the Company has six preclinical biosimilar product candidates under active development.
In May 2016, the Company completed the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its securities by offering 5,833,334 units. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock, one-half of a Series A warrant and one-half of a Series B warrant. Each whole Series A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $6.60, subject to adjustment. Each whole Series B warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $8.50, subject to adjustment. The IPO price was $6.00 per unit. In addition, the Company also completed a concurrent private placement of an additional 833,332 shares of its common stock, 416,666 Series A warrants and 416,666 Series B warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. On May 13, 2016, the units began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market. The units separated in accordance with their terms and ceased trading, and on June 13, 2016, the component securities (common stock, Series A warrants and Series B warrants) began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market. As a result of the IPO and the concurrent private placement, the Company received approximately $33.8 million in net proceeds, after deducting discounts and commissions of approximately $2.9 million and offering expenses of approximately $3.3 million payable by the Company.

| Liquidity [Abstract] | |
| Liquidity | 2. Liquidity
The Company has incurred substantial losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $166.5 million as of December 31, 2016. The Company has substantial indebtedness that includes $10.0 million of senior secured notes due in December 2017 and $4.6 million in notes payable to stockholders that are payable on demand. There can be no assurance that the holders of the stockholder notes will not exercise their right to demand repayment. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its products currently in development. Management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of December 31, 2016 and $1.65 million in cash proceeds in January 2017 from the issuance of the notes and warrants will be sufficient to fund its operations through February 2017. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its product candidates. Management is currently evaluating different strategies to obtain the required funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to: private placements of equity and/or debt, payments from potential strategic research and development, licensing and/or marketing arrangements with pharmaceutical companies, and public offerings of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that these future funding efforts will be successful.
The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the timely and successful completion of additional financing discussed above; (ii) the Company’s ability to complete revenue-generating partnerships with pharmaceutical companies; (iii) the success of its research and development; (iv) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and, ultimately; (v) regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s proposed future products. |

| Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 3. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2016 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2017. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016 included on Form 10-K dated December 29, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended to date.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Income taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $4,000 and $52,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 which is primarily attributable to the foreign withholding taxes in connection with the Company’s collaboration and licensing agreements.
Net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the Company’s previously outstanding shares of preferred stock and other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation because their effects would
be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, as they would be antidilutive:
Amounts in the table above reflect the common stock equivalents of the noted instruments.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update explicitly require a company’s management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The Company adopted this new standard effective in the quarter ended after December 31, 2016.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about:
Contracts with customers — including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations).
Significant judgments and changes in judgments — determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.
Certain assets — assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.
In July 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance. As a result, this guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, (Topic 842). This new ASU represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and introduces a lease model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. It also eliminates the required use of bright-line tests in current U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019), and interim periods thereafter. Earlier application is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payment transactions. The pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
The table presented below is a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 valuation for the warrant liability for the three months ended December 31, 2016:
The warrants issued in connection with senior secured notes are classified as liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as the warrants include cash settlement features at the option of the holders under certain circumstances. The warrant liability is revalued each reporting period with the change in fair value recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations until the warrants are exercised or expire. The fair value of the warrant liability is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

| Senior Secured Notes | 7. Senior Secured Notes
In October, November and December 2016, the Company issued $1.85 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured bridge notes to accredited investors. These unsecured notes bore interest at a rate of 15% per year and had a one-year maturity date from the date of issuance. These unsecured notes were exchanged for senior secured promissory notes in December 2016 as described below.
On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with accredited investors providing for the issuance and sale of up to $10.0 million of senior secured promissory notes (the “Notes”), which bear interest at a rate of 5% per year and mature December 22, 2017 and warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire an aggregate 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, which have a five-year term. The Company closed the initial sale and purchase of the Notes and Warrants on December 22, 2016, issuing $8.35 million aggregate principal amount of Notes and Warrants to acquire up to 1,920,500 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $6.5 million of cash and an aggregate of $1.85 million of existing unsecured bridge notes issued by the Company in October, November and December 2016. The proceeds were first allocated to the warrant liability and based on their initial fair value of $3.3 million with a corresponding amount recorded as a debt discount. In addition, the Company incurred $179,526 of debt issuance costs that have been recorded as a debt discount. The debt discount is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.
The Company used $2.4 million of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay off its remaining senior secured bank loans, and will use the remainder for working capital purposes. In January 2017, the Company issued the remaining Notes and Warrants for $1.65 million of cash.
Under the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to customary negative covenants restricting its ability to repay indebtedness to officers, pay dividends to stockholders, repay or incur other indebtedness other than as permitted, grant or suffer to exist a security interest in any of the Company’s assets, other than as permitted, or enter into any transactions with affiliates. In addition to the negative covenants in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Notes include customary events of default. In connection with the closing of the initial sale of the Notes and Warrants, the Company entered into a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, each dated December 22, 2016, granting the holders of the Notes a security interest in all of its assets.
Interest expense on the Notes for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $89,892. |

The 2011 Plan was administered by the board of directors or, at the discretion of the board of directors, by a committee of the board. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan is 1,159,420. As of December 31, 2016, PSUs representing 243,774 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2011 Plan. In light of the December 2015 adoption of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, no future awards under the 2011 Plan will be granted.
2015 Equity Incentive Plan
In December 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards and other forms of equity compensation to Company employees, directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2015 Plan is 1,930,460 shares. As of December 31, 2016, RSUs representing 1,224,957 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2015 Plan and 221,590 shares remained available for grant under the 2015 Plan.
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in the following expense categories of its statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:
Performance-based stock units
The Company has issued PSUs, which generally have a ten year life from the date of grant and vest 50% after the third anniversary from issuance and the remaining 50% on the fourth anniversary. The PSUs are exercisable upon the earlier of (i) a change in control, (ii) consummation of an initial public offering, or (iii) a corporate valuation in excess of $400 million. Upon exercise, the PSU holder receives common stock or cash at the Company’s discretion.
The following table summarizes the PSU activity for the three months ended December 31, 2016:
As of December 31, 2016, there was $532,508 of unamortized expense that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.46 years.
Restricted stock units
The following table summarizes the activity related to RSUs granted during the three months ended December 31, 2016:
The Company has granted RSUs that generally vest over a period of two to four years from the date of grant. In addition, vesting of the RSUs was also dependent upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, which is a performance condition that is outside the Company’s control. Therefore, the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation until the consummation of the IPO in May 2016. As of December 31, 2016, there was $11,402,327 of unamortized expense that will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.42 years. |

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2016 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2017. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, presented herein, do not contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016 included on Form 10-K dated December 29, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (”SEC”), as amended to date.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of estimates | Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

| Income taxes | Income taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $4,000 and $52,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 which is primarily attributable to the foreign withholding taxes in connection with the Company’s collaboration and licensing agreements.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net loss per share | Net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the Company’s previously outstanding shares of preferred stock and other potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation because their effects would
be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same.
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, as they would be antidilutive:
Amounts in the table above reflect the common stock equivalents of the noted instruments. |

| Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this update explicitly require a company’s management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The Company adopted this new standard effective in the quarter ended after December 31, 2016.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about:
Contracts with customers — including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations).
Significant judgments and changes in judgments — determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.
Certain assets — assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.
In July 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of this guidance. As a result, this guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, (Topic 842). This new ASU represents a wholesale change to lease accounting and introduces a lease model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. It also eliminates the required use of bright-line tests in current U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (i.e., calendar periods beginning on January 1, 2019), and interim periods thereafter. Earlier application is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payment transactions. The pronouncement is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
