Introduction

We develop tiny,are a leader in the development of sustained-release drug-delivery products designed tofor treating eye diseases. Our products deliver drugs and biologics at a controlled and steady rate for weeks, months or years. Utilizing our core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™, we are focused on treatment of chronic diseases of the back of the eye and are also exploring applications outside ophthalmology. We have developed three of theonly four sustained-release products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of retinal diseases currently approvedback-of-the-eye diseases. The most recent is ILUVIEN® for diabetic macular edema (DME), sold by our licensee in the U.S. orand three European Union (EU), and our countries. Our lead development product, candidate began a PhaseMedidur™ for posterior uveitis, is in pivotal phase III clinical trial in June 2013.trials. Our strategy includespre-clinical development program is focused primarily on developing products independently while continuing to leveragefor chronic ophthalmic diseases utilizing our core technology platforms through collaboration and license agreements.platforms.

ILUVIEN®, our most recently approved product, is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert that provides treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies overDME for three years from a period of up to three years.single administration. ILUVIEN is licensed to and sold by Alimera Sciences, Inc. (Alimera), and we are entitled to a share of the net profits as(as defined in our agreement with Alimera) from Alimera’s sales of ILUVIEN. ILUVIEN was launched in late February 2015 in the U.S., where it is indicated for DME. Alimera commenced the commercial launchtreatment of ILUVIEN for DME in patients previously treated with a course of corticosteroids without a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. ILUVIEN has been commercially available in the U.K.United Kingdom (U.K.) and Germany in the second quarter ofsince June 2013 and expects to launch in FrancePortugal since January 2015. ILUVIEN has marketing approvals in the first quarter of 2014. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that approximately 19.0 million people have diabetes in the seventhese and 14 other EU countries where ILUVIEN has received or been recommended for marketing authorization,the treatment of whichchronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. Alimera has estimated that approximately 1.1 million people suffer from vision loss associated with DME. Alimera is also seeking marketing approvalsublicensed distribution, regulatory and reimbursement matters for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. In the second quarter of 2013, Alimera received a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of October 17, 2013 afterAustralia and New Zealand in April 2014, in Canada in July 2015 and in Italy in August 2015.

We are also developing a bioerodible, injectable micro-insert delivering latanoprost (the Latanoprost Product) to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Under an amended collaboration agreement, Pfizer Inc. has an option, under certain circumstances, to license the development and commercialization of the Latanoprost Product worldwide.

We are engaged in pre-clinical research with respect to both our BioSilicon and Durasert technology platforms. The primary focus of our BioSilicon technology research is the sustained delivery of peptides, proteins, antibodies and other large biologic molecules using our Tethadur™ technology in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic applications. Our research program also includes the use of Durasert technology in orthopedic applications and for systemic delivery of therapeutic agents.

Our FDA-approvedRetisert provides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and a half years andyears. It is licensed to and sold by Bausch & Lomb.Lomb, and we receive royalties from its sales.

Strategy

Our strategy is to use our proprietary Durasert and BioSiliconTethadur drug delivery technology platforms to independently develop new drug delivery products for already-approved drugs and biologics tothat will provide better treattreatment of ophthalmic and other diseases, in the ophthalmic area and beyond, while continuing to leverage our technology platforms through collaborations and licenses with leading pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, institutions and others. We believe our technologies can provide sustained, targeted delivery of severalmany already-approved drugs and biologics,therapeutic agents, resulting in improved therapeutic effectiveness and better patient compliance and convenience, with reduced product development risk and cost of product development for us. We believe our proven track record of three approved products, all providing sustained release of previously approved drugs, demonstrates the effectivenesspotential of this strategy.

 

Develop Sustained Delivery of Off-Patent Drugs and Biologics.Many drugs and biologics either are or are soon to be off-patent. It is estimated over the next 8 years that patent coverage will end on products with world-wide sales aggregating over $50 billion annually. We plan to use our technology platforms to develop products using off-patent and generic drugs and biologics with a significant market opportunity where either less frequent dosing through sustained delivery and/or release at the treatment site through targeted delivery would provide a material improvement to the effectiveness or convenience of the original product. We are optimistic that our BioSilicon technology can provide sustained delivery of large biologic molecules, which currently cannot be effectively delivered by other

Continue Partnering with Leading Biopharmaceutical and Pharmaceutical Companies. We intend to continue to partner with leading biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies, institutions and others, where patent protection, development and regulatory costs, expertise or other factors make it desirable for us to have a partner. For example, many drugs and biologics that might be more effectively delivered by our platform technologies, whether as a result of less frequent dosing, targeted delivery or otherwise, have extended patent protection, which could make collaborations with the patent holders attractive. We might also partner the development of products, including off-patent drugs or biologics that could materially benefit from sustained delivery, but would require expensive clinical trials or are in treatment areas outside of our technical expertise. Our drug delivery technologies could also permit companies to extend the patent protection on drugs coming off-patent while offering an improved product.

Expand Beyond Ophthalmology.While we are continuing to focus on our core ophthalmic competency, we are studying treatment of diseases in other areas where we believe our technology platforms could provide a significant advantage. For example, we are studying the potential use of our technologies in orthopedics as well as in systemic release of therapeutic agents.

Market Overview

Opportunity for Delivery of Drugs and Biologics Generally

We develop products to address issues inherent in the delivery of drugs and biologics. The therapeutic valueefficacy of a therapeutic agent (small drug molecule or biologic) depends on its distribution to, and reaction with, the targeted tissue and other tissues in the body, duration of treatment and clearance from the body. In an ideal treatment, the appropriate amount of drug or biologic is delivered to the intended tissue at an adequate concentration and is maintained in the location with an appropriate concentration for a sufficient period of time to provide effective treatment without causing adverse effects to other tissues. Accordingly, the manner in whichdelivery of a drug or biologic is delivered can be an important element of theits ultimate therapeutic value of the treatment.value.

Drugs are frequently administered systemically by oral dosing, infusion or by injection and subsequently dispersed throughout the body via the circulatory system. In the case of many drugs, systemic administration does not deliver them to the intended site atwith an adequateappropriate concentration for a sufficient period of timeduration or delivers them in athe appropriate concentration that disperses too quickly or unevenly, thereby not achievingfailing to achieve the maximum potential therapeutic benefit. Because systemically delivered drugs disperse throughout the body, they often are administered at higher dosage levels to achieve sufficient concentrations at the intended sites. Some areas of the body, such asThis is particularly true for the eyes, joints, brain and nervous system, which have natural barriers that impede the movement of drugs to those areas, requiring the administration ofareas. These higher doses of systemically delivered drugs. These dosage levels can cause harmful side effects whento the drugs interact with other tissues. In some cases,tissues beyond the intended site. To avoid these issues, drugs may be administered locally to the targeted site, typically by injection. While this may avoid the issues of systemic delivery, problems ofHowever, maintaining a sufficient concentrations over timeconcentration at the targeted site remain. Timelyover time typically requires timely and repeated administration of systemically and locally delivered drugs is often necessary to maintain therapeutic drug levels over an extended period of time.drugs. The delivery methods themselves can have risks. Repeated administration by injection or infusion can result in serious infections and other complications.

The administration of biologics is typically more difficult than small drug molecules. Biologics generally cannot be administered orally, but instead are administered by injection or infusion. Due to the sizeinfusion and complexity of biologics, sustained release formulations are difficult to prepare and many biologics require repeated injections or infusions to maintain appropriate levels over the course of treatment. Due to their molecular size and complexity, it has been difficult to develop sustained-release formulations for biologics.

Patients often do not get drugsDrugs or biologics are often not administered on the optimal schedule prescribed, or at all, because theypatients do not self-administer the products correctlythem as prescribed or do not go toget medical professionalsprofessional administration as required for administration.required. The risk of patient noncompliance increases due to various factors, such as requirements to receivewhen treatment involves multiple products or complex or painful dosing regimens, patientas patients age or if they suffer cognitive impairment or serious illness, or lengthwhen the treatment is lengthy or expensive.

Treating retinal diseases is a significant challenge for drug delivery. Due to the effectiveness of treatment.

Repeated administration bythe blood-eye barrier, it is difficult for systemically administered drugs to reach the retina in sufficient quantities to have a beneficial effect without causing adverse side effects to other parts of the body. Injecting drugs or biologics in solution directly into the back of the eye can achieve effective, but often transient, dosage levels in the eye, requiring repeated injections. Ophthalmic biologics, such as Macugen® (pegaptanib sodium), Lucentis® (ranibizumab) and EYLEA® (afilbercept), require injection or infusion can result in serious infectionsinto the eye as frequently as every four weeks. In addition to the issues of inconvenience, cost and other complications. Further,noncompliance, repeated administration byintravitreal injections have medical professionals is often expensive.risks, including intraocular infection, perforated sclera and vitreous hemorrhage.

Due to the drawbacks of traditional drug and biologic delivery, the development of methods to deliver themdrugs and biologics to patients in a more precise, controlled fashion over sustained periods of time ishas been a medical goal. Methods for sustained drug delivery include oral and injectable controlled-release products and skin patches that seek to improve the consistency of the dosage over time and extend the duration of delivery. However, most of these methods cannot provide constant, controlled dosage or deliver drugs for a sufficiently longsufficient duration for many indications,of delivery, particularly in diseases that

are chronic or require precise dosing. Moreover, skin patches and oral products still have issues of systemic delivery. There are currently very few approved sustained deliverysustained-delivery products for biologics.

Ophthalmic Drug Delivery

Treating retinal diseases is a significant challenge. Due to the effectiveness of the blood/eye barrier, it is difficult for systemically administered drugs to reach the retina in sufficient quantities to have a beneficial effect without adverse side effects to other parts of the body. Injecting drugs or biologics in solution directly into the back of the eye can achieve effective, but often transient, dosage levels in the eye, requiring repeated injections. Examples include Macugen® (pegaptanib sodium), Lucentis® (ranibizumab) and EYLEA® (afilbercept), which are injected into the eye as frequently as approximately every four to eight weeks. Apart from inconvenience and cost, repeated intravitreal injections carry risks, including intraocular infection, perforated sclera, vitreous hemorrhage and cataract formation.

Our Technology Systems and Products

Our two core technology platforms, Durasert and BioSilicon,Tethadur, have attributes designed to address the following attributes:issues of sustained delivery for ophthalmic and other product candidates:

 

  

Extended Delivery. Our Durasert technology platformsplatform can deliver therapeutics for predetermined periods of time ranging from days to years. We believe that uninterrupted, sustained delivery offers the opportunity to develop products that reduce the need for repeated applications, thereby reducing the risks of patient noncompliance and adverse effects from repeated administrations.

 

  

Controlled Release Rate. Our technology platforms canare designed to release therapeutics at a sustained, controlled rate. We believe that this feature allows us to develop products that deliver optimal concentrations of therapeutics over time and eliminate excessive variability in dosing over time.during treatment.

 

  

Localized Delivery. Our technology platforms can deliver therapeutics directly atto a target site. This administration can allow the natural barriers of the body to isolate and assist in maintaining appropriate concentrations at the target site in an effort to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect while minimizing unwanted systemic effects.

Durasert Technology System

TheOur three approved products, as well as our lead development product Medidur, use different generations of our Durasert technology platform usesto provide sustained, localized delivery of drugs to the back of the eye. In our Durasert products, a drug core is surrounded with one or more surrounding polymer layers, to provide sustained delivery of drugs. Drug release is controlled byand the permeability of those layers and other aspects of the polymer layers.design of the product control the rate and duration of the drug release. By changing elements of the design, we can alter both the rate and duration of release to meet different therapeutic needs. Our three approvedlater generation ILUVIEN and Medidur products as well as our two current product candidatesare injected at the target site in clinical trials, use different generations of this technology system.an office visit, while early generation Retisert and Vitrasert are surgically implanted.

Approved Product:ILUVIEN for Chronic DME

ILUVIEN is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert delivering the off-patent corticosteroid fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) overfor treatment of DME. Injected in an office visit, ILUVIEN delivers 36 months of continuous, low-dose corticosteroid therapy with a periodsingle injection. ILUVIEN is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of up to 3 yearsDME in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). In the 17 EU countries where ILUVIEN has been approved, it is indicated for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.

DME causesis a disease suffered by diabetics where leaking capillaries cause swelling in the macula, the most sensitive part of the retina, andretina. DME is a leading cause of blindness in most developed countries in the working-age population. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that approximately 19.0 million people have diabetes in the six EU countries where ILUVIEN has been approved, and Alimera estimates that approximately 1.1 million of those people suffer from vision loss associated with DME. There is currently no approved sustained release drug treatment for DME in the U.S. or (other than ILUVIEN) in the EU.

ILUVIEN is licensed to Alimera, which commenced the commercial launch oflaunched ILUVIEN for DME in the United KingdomU.K. and Germany in the second quarter of 2013 and expects to launch in FrancePortugal and the U.S. in the first quarter of 2014. Alimera is also seeking2015. ILUVIEN has marketing approvalauthorizations in the U.S.14 additional EU countries. We are entitled to a 20% share in net profits as defined, on sales of ILUVIEN for DME by Alimera on a quarter-by-quarter, country-by-country basis. See “Strategic Collaborations—Alimera” below.

Alimera has completed two 36-month Phase III clinical trials (the FAME® Study), which involved 956 patientsengaged in sites inregulatory proceedings and negotiations with respect to the U.S., Canada, Europe and India, to assess the efficacy and safetyamount and/or process for reimbursement of ILUVIEN in the treatment of DME. Combined enrollment of the FAME Study was completed invarious EU countries. In October 2007, the 24-month clinical readout was received in December 2009, and 36-month follow-up was completed in October 2010. The status of marketing approvals in the EU and the U.S. for ILUVIEN for DME and its commercial launch are as follows:

European Union.Alimera has received marketing authorization for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.K., Germany, France, Austria, Portugal and Spain. These approvals followed a favorable determination of approvability under the EU’s Decentralized Procedure (DCP). Marketing authorization is pending in Italy, which participated in the DCP. As part of this approval process, Alimera has committed to conduct a five-year, post-authorization, open label registry study of ILUVIEN in patients with chronic DME.

In the second quarter of 2013, Alimera commercially launched ILUVIEN in Germany and the U.K. and expects to launch in France in the first quarter of 2014. Alimera does not currently plan to expand the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU beyond those three countries until it achieves positive cash flows and sustainability in those countries. Alimera continues to pursue pricing and reimbursement in the EU countries and marketing authorization in Italy.

In Germany, the Federal Joint Committee indicated that the obligation to submit a dossier on ILUVIEN for DME, per the Arzneimittelmarkt-Neuordnungsgesetz law, would not be necessary, and that a benefit assessment would not be required, which allowed Alimera to launch ILUVIEN for DME in Germany without price restriction. Alimera is in the process of securing agreements for reimbursement with German statutory insurance funds so that German patients will not be required to submit individual funding requests for reimbursement.

In the U.K., ILUVIEN for DME is currently only available for private pay and privately insured patients as a result of final guidance from the U.K.’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). In April 2013, Alimera submitted issued a Patient Access Scheme (PAS) to NICE to assess the likely impact of the PAS and to determine whether an update to NICE’s previously issued final guidance was warranted. In June 2013, the NICEpositive Final Appraisal Committee published draft guidanceDetermination recommending ILUVIEN funding, utilizing a simple patient access scheme (PAS), for the treatment of pseudophakic patients (those who have undergone prior cataract surgery)eyes (eyes with an artificial lens) in chronic DME patients considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. If NICE amendsIn February 2014, the Scottish Medicines Consortium, after completing its guidance to adopt this recommendation,assessment and review of a similar simple PAS, announced its acceptance of ILUVIEN will also become available to pseudophakic patients in the U.K, which typically constitute a large subgroup of chronic DME patients, with the anticipation that it would be funded in England and Wales throughfor restricted use within the National Health Service.

Service (NHS) Scotland. In France,July 2014, Alimera reached agreement with INFARMED, the Transparency Commission (Commission de la Transparence or CT)marketing authorization body of the French NationalPortuguese Ministry of Health, Authority (Haute Autorite de Sante) has issued a favorable opinion for the reimbursementpricing and hospital listing by the French National Health Insurancereimbursement of ILUVIEN for chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies and despite optimized management of diabetes. In France, patients will be reimbursed for 100% of the cost of ILUVIEN under Affection de Longue Duree, a program for severe chronic disease, such as diabetes. Alimera has reported that it will move forward with the next steppublic sector in the process, which is to determine the price and any reimbursement conditions for ILUVIEN in France.Portugal.

United States.Alimera received a new PDUFA goal date of October 17, 2013 following its second resubmission of the NDA for ILUVIEN for DME in March 2013. Using clinical data available from the previously completed FAME Study, this resubmission focused on the safety aspects of ILUVIEN and provided additional analyses as well as information to support that ILUVIEN is safe and effective in the treatment of the subgroup population of patients with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies, the same subgroup for which marketing authorization for ILUVIEN has been granted in six countries in the EU. Additionally, data was submitted from a completed physician utilization study for the ILUVIEN applicator and from a special reading center assessment of photographs of the fundus, or the interior surface of the eye, that were collected during the FAME study. If approved, Alimera intends to commercialize ILUVIEN directly to retina centers across the US.

Alimera has previously received two CRLs concluding that the NDA could not be approved in its then current form. Alimera originally submitted the NDA for ILUVIEN in June 2010, largely based on analyses of clinical data through month 24 of the Phase III trials. In December 2010, Alimera received its first CRL, in which the FDA asked for analyses of safety and efficacy data through month 36 of the Phase III trials. In May 2011, Alimera resubmitted the NDA in response to the 2010 CRL, including additional safety and efficacy data through month 36 and analyses of data for the subgroup of chronic DME patients.

In a second CRL received in November 2011, the FDA concluded that the resubmitted NDA did not provide sufficient data to support that ILUVIEN is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with DME. The FDA stated that the risks of adverse reactions shown for ILUVIEN in the Phase III trials were significant and were not offset by the benefits demonstrated by ILUVIEN in those trials. The FDA further indicated that Alimera would need to conduct two additional clinical trials to demonstrate that the product is safe and effective for the proposed indication. In June 2012, Alimera met with the FDA to gain a better understanding of the regulatory path for ILUVIEN in the U.S. Alimera’s March 2013 resubmission responded to this CRL using data from the FAME Study.

Other Diseases.Under our agreement with Alimera, ILUVIEN is also being studied in two Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of the dry form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). A Phase II trial studying ILUVIEN in the treatment of the wet form of AMD has been terminated based on an interim analysis, due to the determination that the endpoint of reducing the number of anti-VEGF injections may not be appropriate to assess the benefit of ILUVIEN in that disease.

Medidur for Posterior Uveitis

Medidur is our lead development product for the treatment of posterior uveitis, an autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of the posterior of the eye that can cause sudden or gradual vision loss. This product uses the same micro-insert used in ILUVIEN for DME, but is administered with a different inserter than the commercial inserter for ILUVIEN for DME. Medidur delivers FAc, the same drug as our FDA-approved Retisert for posterior uveitis, but at a lower dose, and is expected to treat posterior uveitis on a sustained basis over a period of up to 3 years.

In June 2013, we initiated the first of two planned Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for the treatment of posterior uveitis. These trials are expected to include clinical sites in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The trials will have a primary end-point of recurrence of posterior uveitis at 12 months and are expected to enroll approximately 300 patients in total. If the results of the trials are positive, we plan to use the data to submit an NDA to the FDA. The FDA has permitted us to move directly to Phase III clinical trials and confirmed that we will be able to reference much of the data, including the clinical safety data, from Alimera’s FAME Study of ILUVIEN for DME. We are developing Medidur independently and have not licensed the rights to Medidur for posterior uveitis to Alimera or any other third party.

Because Medidur delivers FAc, the same drug as our FDA-approved Retisert product for posterior uveitis, although at a slower rate, we are optimistic that Medidur will show efficacy comparable to Retisert. Further, as Medidur uses the same micro-insert as ILUVIEN, we expect to observe a side-effect profile in posterior uveitis patients that is superior to that observed for Retisert for posterior uveitis and comparable to ILUVIEN for DME. As a result, we are optimistic that Medidur will be efficacious for posterior uveitis with a more favorable risk/benefit profile and fewer side effects than Retisert. Early interim data from an investigator-sponsored study is consistent with this hypothesis. Medidur is also easier to administer than Retisert because it is injected in an office visit, whereas Retisert is implanted in a surgical procedure.

In the U.S., posterior uveitis affects approximately 175,000 people and is responsible for approximately 30,000 cases of blindness, making it the third largest cause of blindness in the U.S.

Approved Product: Retisert for Posterior Uveitis

Retisert is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of posterior uveitis. Retisert is surgically implanted through a 3-4 mm incisionin the eye and delivers sustained levels of FAc for approximately 30 months. Retisert was approved as an orphan drug in 2005, which provided for seven-year exclusive marketing rights. Retisert is licensed to Bausch & Lomb, which sells the product in the U.S. and pays sales-based royalties to us. Retisert is eligible for Medicare reimbursement.

Approved Product: Vitrasert for CMV Retinitis

Vitrasert, was our first product, was approved in the U.S. and the EU for the treatment of CMV retinitis, a blinding eye disease that occurs in individuals with advanced AIDS. Vitrasert, which is surgically implanted, through a 5-6 mm incision, provides sustained delivery of the anti-viral drug ganciclovir for six to eight months. Vitrasert was originally licensed to and sold by Chiron Corporation and subsequently by Bausch & Lomb. During fiscal 2013, Bausch & Lomb, which discontinued sales of Vitrasertin fiscal 2013 following patent expiration.

Glaucoma LatanoprostDevelopment Product Candidate: Medidur for Posterior Uveitis

In connection withMedidur, our amended Pfizer collaboration,lead development product, is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert designed to treat posterior uveitis for three years. Medidur uses the same micro-insert as ILUVIEN for DME (same drug, same release rate, same polymer, same design), but we have redesigned the inserter to utilize a smaller gauge needle typically used for intra-ocular injections. Like ILUVIEN, Medidur also delivers a lower dose of FA, the same drug delivered by Retisert for posterior uveitis. However, Medidur is easier to administer than Retisert because it is injected in an office visit, while Retisert is implanted in a surgical procedure. We are developing Medidur independently and have not licensed the rights to Medidur for posterior uveitis to Alimera or any other third party.

Posterior uveitis is a chronic, non-infectious inflammatory disease affecting the posterior segment of the eye, often involving the retina, which is a leading cause of blindness in the developed countries. It afflicts people of all ages, producing swelling and destroying eye tissues, which can lead to severe vision loss and blindness. In the U.S., posterior uveitis is estimated to affect approximately 175,000 people, resulting in approximately 30,000 cases of blindness and making it the third leading cause of blindness in the U.S. Patients with posterior uveitis are typically treated with systemic steroids, but frequently develop serious side effects over time that can limit effective dosing. Patients then often progress to steroid-sparing therapy with systemic immune suppressants or biologics, which themselves can have severe side effects including an injectable, bioerodible drug delivery micro-insertincreased risk of cancer.

Medidur Phase III Trials. We are currently conducting two Phase III trials to assess the safety and efficacy of Medidur for the treatment of glaucomaposterior uveitis. These are randomized, sham-controlled, double-masked trials.

The primary endpoint of both trials is recurrence of posterior uveitis, with patients in both trials followed for three years. The first Phase III Medidur trial is fully enrolled with 129 patients in 16 centers in the U.S. and ocular hypertension.17 centers outside the U.S. The Latanoprost Productprimary endpoint of this trial is designedrecurrence of uveitis at 12 months and the last patient is scheduled to provide long-term, sustained deliveryhave their 12-month follow-up visit in March 2016, with top-line data expected in the second quarter of latanoprost, currently the most commonly prescribed agent2016. The second trial will enroll up to 150 patients in approximately 15 centers in India with a primary endpoint for the NDA filing of recurrence of disease at 6 months. We plan to seek FDA approval of Medidur based on 12-month data from the first Phase III trial, six-month data from the second Phase III trial and data from a short-duration utilization study of our redesigned proprietary inserter, together with data referenced from the Phase III trials of ILUVIEN for DME. Pending favorable results in our ongoing clinical trials and concurrence from the FDA regarding filing with the data package described, we expect to file an NDA in the first half of 2017.

In our ongoing assessment of masked safety data from our first Phase III trial, we compared elevated IOP (over 21 mm Hg) at three months of follow-up in study eyes (2/3’s of which received Medidur) to fellow non-study eyes (none of which received Medidur). At that time, for all 129 enrolled patients, only 5% more study eyes experienced elevated IOP than the fellow non-study eyes. Initial IOP elevation is an indication of the likelihood of subsequent clinically significant IOP increases. We believe that the minimal difference observed in elevated IOP in our assessment suggests favorable results for a key safety measure of the trials, the number of eyes that develop clinically significant increases in IOP after receiving Medidur relative to control eyes.

Investigator-Sponsored Study of Medidur. In July 2015, Dr. Glenn J. Jaffe, Robert Machemer Professor of Ophthalmology at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, NC (who is also a principal investigator in our first Phase III trial), reported positive top-line results from his investigator-sponsored study of Medidur, reporting a statistically significant reduction in recurrence of intraocular pressure (IOP)uveitis and a statistically significant improvement in visual acuity in eyes treated with Medidur. In the three-year, ongoing study, patients with recurrent non-infectious intermediate, posterior or pan uveitis were randomized to receive either a low dose or a high-dose of Medidur (our Phase III trials are studying only the low dose and only in patients with ocular hypertensionposterior uveitis). One eye received Medidur (which for subjects with disease in both eyes, was the eye with the worse disease) and glaucoma worldwide. This product candidate is basedfellow diseased eyes were treated with standard of care, which included steroid eye drops. At the most recent follow-up visit reported, 11 of the 13 participants had been followed for between 12 and 24 months. Dr. Jaffe reported that through the last follow-up visit reported, none of the eyes treated with Medidur had any recurrence of uveitis, while fellow eyes treated with standard of care averaged 2.33 recurrences. The difference between treatment with Medidur and standard of care was statistically significant (p=0.014). Eyes treated with Medidur experienced a significant improvement in visual acuity, gaining an average of 17 letters from baseline at 12 months on a fourth generationthe Snellen eye chart (p=0.014 at 12 months). At the last follow-up visit reported, the average gain from baseline in Medidur-treated eyes was over 20 letters, while eyes treated with standard of care declined an average of 10 letters. The most common adverse event in study eyes was elevated IOP. Through the last follow-up visit reported, three study eyes developed elevated IOP and were treated with eye drops, with filtering procedures subsequently performed in two of these eyes. However, those two eyes still gained an average of over 25 letters from baseline at the last observation. Because the study remains masked as to the dosage, results cannot yet be separated for the low and high doses of Medidur.

Based on the ongoing IOP assessment from our Durasert technology system,first Phase III trial and is also anticipated to utilize our BioSilicon technology. The micro-insert is designedthe top-line results from the investigator-sponsored study, we are optimistic that the Phase III trials for Medidur will show it to be injected underas efficacious as Retisert was shown to be in treating posterior uveitis, but with IOP safety results that could be even better than those shown in the conjunctiva into the sclera by an eye care professional in a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure. This product is subject to an option by Pfizer described below under “Strategic Collaborations—Pfizer”.ILUVIEN and Retisert Phase III trials.

BioSiliconTethadur Technology System

Our BioSiliconTethadur technology system utilizes BioSilicon, a fully-erodible, “honeycomb” structure of nano-porous,nanostructured elemental silicon, to provide sustained delivery of therapeutics. BioSilicon is biocompatible and biodegradable. Our primary focus is on Tethadur™, an application of our BioSilicon technology designed to provide sustained delivery of large biologic molecules, including peptides, proteins and antibodies. In this application, the sizesThe size of the pores inand surface area of the BioSilicon material areis manufactured using nanotechnology to accommodate a

specific protein, peptide or antibody molecule. A suspension of the specific biologic loaded into BioSilicon in solution is injected into the subject. The BioSilicon erodes over a predetermined duration, and the biologic molecules which are then released from the pores on a sustained basis over time. Ourbasis. We believe that by varying the pore size and surface area of Tethadur, the release rate of antibodies and other therapeutics loaded into Tethadur can be controlled, which could permit sustained delivery of antibodies and other therapeutics that currently must be delivered by frequent injections. The system is biocompatible and biodegradable. BioSilicon technology can also be designed to deliver smaller molecules.

EvaluationDevelopment Pipeline

Our pre-clinical research is focused on using our Tethadur and Durasert technology platforms to deliver therapeutic agents to treat wet and dry AMD, glaucoma and osteoarthritis, as well as to provide systemic delivery of biologics.

We expect that an IND will shortly be filed in the U.S. to commence an investigator-sponsored study of an implant utilizing our Durasert technology to treat pain associated with severe osteoarthritis of the knee. We have been collaborating with Hospital for Special Surgery, a leading specialty hospital for orthopedics and rheumatology, on the development of this product. It will be surgically implanted in the knee to provide approximately six months of sustained delivery of a corticosteroid directly to the joint. The product is designed to offer long-term pain relief and to delay or eliminate the need for knee replacement surgery.

Feasibility Study Agreements

We have evaluationentered into numerous feasibility study agreements with various companies(some of which are funded) to evaluate our Durasert and BioSiliconTethadur (including BioSilicon) technology systems for the treatment of various ophthalmic and other diseases.

Strategic Collaborations

We have entered into a number of collaboration/license agreements to develop and commercialize our product candidates and technologies. In all of our collaboration agreements, we retain the right to use and develop the underlying technologies outside of the scope of the exclusive licenses granted.

Alimera

In a February 2005 collaboration agreement, as amended and restated in March 2008, we granted Alimera an exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, develop, market and sell ILUVIEN for the treatment and prevention of human eye diseases other than uveitis. We also granted Alimera a worldwide non-exclusive license to manufacture, develop, market and sell certain additional Durasert-based products (1) to deliver a corticosteroid and no other active ingredient by a direct delivery method to the back of the eye solely for the treatment and prevention of eye diseases in humans other than uveitis or (2) to treat DME in humans by delivering a compound by a direct delivery method through an incision no smaller than that required for a 25-gauge or larger needle. The non-exclusive license is limited to those products that, amongstamong other things, (i) have a drug core within a polymer layer (with certain limitations regarding chemically bonded combinations of active agents), and (ii) are approved, or designed to be approved, to deliver a corticosteroid and no other active ingredient by a direct delivery to the posterior portion of the eye, or to treat DME by delivering a compound by a direct delivery through an incision required for a 25-gauge or larger needle. We are not permitted to use, or grant a license to any third party to use, the licensed technologies to make or sell any products that are or would be subject to the non-exclusive license granted to Alimera. Following a March 2008 amendment,

Alimera assumedhas complete financial responsibility for the development of licensed products and regulatory submissions which had previously been shared.under the collaboration agreement.

In October 2014 Alimera has agreed to paypaid us a one-time $25.0 million milestone payment upon the first productFDA approval of ILUVIEN as provided in our collaboration agreement. We are entitled to be approved by the FDA under the collaboration agreement andreceive 20% of any net profits as defined,(as defined) on sales of ILUVIEN by Alimera of each licensed product (including ILUVIEN), measured on a quarter-by-quarter and country-by-country basis, subject to an offset ofbasis.

If Alimera sublicenses commercialization in any country, we are entitled to receive 20% of royalties and 33% of non-royalty consideration received by Alimera, less certain permitted deductions.

Either party may terminate the collaboration agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach under various conditions and upon various bankruptcy events. We may terminate the collaboration agreement with respect to a particular product if Alimera notifies us that it is abandoning or has abandoned such product, in which case the agreement provides for specific, exclusive remedies.

Bausch & Lomb

Under a 2003 amended license agreement, Bausch & Lomb has a worldwide exclusive license to make and sell our first-generation products (which, as defined in the agreement, includes Retisert) in return for royalties based on sales. We agreed with Bausch & Lomb not to develop, license or commercialize a product designed to receive regulatory approval to treat uveitis, but only for so long as (i) Bausch & Lomb is actively commercializing a product the net sales of which bear the base royalty payable to us that is not subject to any royalty reduction or offset and (ii) Bausch & Lomb has not developed or commercialized a uveitis product that does not bear such royalties. This agreement also covered Vitrasert prior to patent expiration. Bausch & Lomb can terminate its agreement with us without penalty at any time upon 90 days’ written notice.

Pfizer

In April 2007, we entered into an exclusive worldwide Collaborative Research and License Agreement (the Original Pfizer Agreement) with Pfizer for the use of certain of our technologies in ophthalmic applications that were not licensed to others. Under this agreement, we engaged in a joint research program, and Pfizer had an exclusive license to market any products developed under the agreement.

InOur June 2011 we entered into an Amended and Restated Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer (the Restated Pfizer Agreement) to focus solely on the development of a sustained release bioerodible implant designed to deliver latanoprost by subconjunctival injection. Under the Restated Pfizer Agreement, we grantedprovides Pfizer an exclusive option, under various circumstances, to license the development and commercialization of thea sustained release bioerodible implant to deliver latanoprost by subconjunctival injection (the Latanoprost ProductProduct) worldwide for human ophthalmic disease or conditions other than uveitis. If Pfizer were to exercise such option, we would be eligible to receive future consideration of up to $166.5 million plus royalties. In addition, we regained all rights to our intellectual property in ophthalmic applications previously included in the Original Pfizer Agreement other than pursuant to the Restated Pfizer Agreement and we have rights to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product if Pfizer does not exercise its option.

Under the Restated Pfizer Agreement, Pfizer paid us $2.3 million in cash as an upfront payment,at our discretion and expense, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts tocan develop the Latanoprost Product at our expense, and with technical assistance from Pfizer, for at least one year and thereafter, at our option, through completion of Phase II clinical trials, as defined. Upon completion oftrials. If we cease development, or if we commence and complete Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer has the option to acquire, upon payment of $20 million, an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product for ophthalmic disease in humans other than uveitis. If Pfizer exercisesmay exercise its option it must use commercially reasonable efforts at its expense to developeither juncture in exchange for payments of prescribed, but different levels of, license fee and commercialize the Latanoprost Product, and we are eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments that could total up to $146.5 million and double-digit royalties based on net sales of the Latanoprost Product.potential future milestones plus royalties. If Pfizer does not exercise thisany such option, wethe Restated Pfizer Agreement will have the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product on our own or with a partner, with rights to Pfizer intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product. If we elect to cease development of the Latanoprost Product prior to completion of Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer also has an option to acquire, upon payment of a lesser option fee, an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product for ophthalmic disease in humans other than uveitis at its expense. In this case, Pfizer must also use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product, and we are eligible to receive lesser development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and a lower royalty on net sales of the Latanoprost Product. If Pfizer does not exercise this option, we will have the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product on our own or with a partner, with rights to Pfizer intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize the Latanaprost Product, following a one-year cessation of development activities.automatically be terminated.

Either Pfizer or we may terminate the Restated Pfizer Agreement for various reasons, including in the event of a material breach of this agreement that is not cured within the applicable cure period or if the other party enters into bankruptcy or similar proceedings. Pfizer may terminate this agreement at its sole discretion on 60 days’ notice. In the event Pfizer so terminates, or if we terminate for Pfizer’s material breach, we have the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product.

The Restated Pfizer Agreement replaces all of the rights and obligations under the Original Pfizera 2007 Research and License Agreement, except for confidentiality and indemnification provisions.provisions. We regained all rights to our intellectual property in ophthalmic applications previously included in the original Pfizer agreement other than pursuant to the Restated Pfizer Agreement.

Bausch & Lomb can terminate its agreement with us without penalty at any time upon 90 days’ written notice.

Intrinsiq

In January 2008, we granted an exclusive field-of-use license to Intrinsiq Materials Cayman Limited (Intrinsiq) for the development and commercialization of nutraceutical and food science applications of BioSilicon, under which we received aggregate license fee and minimum royalty payments of $1.7 million through June 2011. In February 2009, we entered into a 2-year supply agreement with Intrinsiq under which we leased certain equipment to Intrinsiq used in manufacturing BioSilicon material for total payments of $122,000. In July 2011, Intrinsiq terminated its field-of-use license agreement, we purchased the BioSilicon-related capital equipment and intellectual property assets of Intrinsiq for $223,000 and assumed four Intrinsiq employees.2015.

Enigma Therapeutics

Under a December 2012 license agreement, amended and restated in March 2013, Enigma Therapeutics Limited (Enigma) acquired an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license for the development of BrachySil

(now named OncoSil™), a BioSilicon product candidate for the treatment of pancreatic and other types of cancer. We received an upfront fee of $100,000 included in collaborative research and development revenue in fiscal 2013, and are entitled to an 8% sales-based royalty, 20% of sublicense consideration and milestones based on aggregate product sales. Enigma is obligated to pay an annual license maintenance fee of $100,000, creditable during each ensuing twelve monthtwelve-month period against reimbursable patent maintenance costs and sales-based royalties. Annual license maintenance fees of $100,000 were paid in January 2014 and January 2015. Enigma has the right to terminate its license upon 60 days prior written notice.

Research and Development

Our clinical and pre-clinical research programs primarily consist of ophthalmic applications of our technology systems. Our research and development expenses totaled $12.1 million in fiscal 2015, $9.6 million in fiscal 2014 and $7.0 million in fiscal 2013, $7.02013. Of these amounts, $10.6 million in fiscal 2012 and $6.92015, $8.2 million in fiscal 2011. Of these amounts,2014, and $5.4 million in fiscal 2013 $4.2 million in fiscal 2012 and $3.2 million in fiscal 2011 were incurred for costs of research and development personnel, clinical and pre-clinical studies, contract services, testing and laboratory facilities. Fiscal 2011 costs were reduced by a one-time IRS grant award of $208,000. All such costs were charged to operations as incurred. The remaining expense of $1.5 million in fiscal 2015, $1.4 million in fiscal 2014 and $1.6 million in fiscal 2013 $2.8 million in fiscal 2012 and $3.7 million in fiscal 2011 consisted of non-cash charges for amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and stock-based compensation expense specifically allocated to research and development personnel. In addition, during fiscal 2012 we recorded a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment write-down, which is classified as a separate category of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Employees

We had 2526 employees as of August 31, 2013.2015. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Sales and Marketing

We have no marketing or sales staff. We currently depend on collaborative partners to market our products. Significant additional expenditures would be required for us to develop an independent sales and marketing organization.

Third Party Reimbursement and Pricing Controls

TheSales of pharmaceutical products are significantly dependent on the availability and extent of reimbursement to which reimbursementconsumers of the cost of the products and the related administration procedures is and will be available from third-party payors, such as government health administration authorities and plans, private health insurers and other organizations, as well as on the timing and complexity of obtaining those reimbursements.

The passage of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act of 2003 imposed requirements for the distribution and pricing of prescription drugs, which may affect the marketing of our products by us or our

licensees. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, collectively referred to as the ACA, is expected to significantly change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. The ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which could negatively affect market acceptance of new products, and the timingrebates, discounts, taxes and other costs resulting from the ACA may have a significant effect on our results of those reimbursements, is important tooperations in the successful commercializationfuture. In addition, potential reductions of those products. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services designated Retisert as eligible for Medicare reimbursement at the per capita rate of $19,345, with associated surgical fees reimbursed separately. Alimera hasgrowth in Medicare spending under the ACA could potentially limit access to certain treatments or mandate price controls for our products.

In many foreign markets, including countries in the EU, pricing of pharmaceutical products is subject to governmental control. In the U.S., there have been, engaged in regulatory proceedings and negotiations with respectthere will likely continue to be, federal and state proposals to implement similar governmental pricing and reimbursement of ILUVIEN for DME in various EU countries where it has or expects to receive marketing authorizations.control.

Competition

The market for products treating back-of-the-eye diseases is highly competitive and is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. We face substantial competition for our products and product candidates. Pharmaceutical, drug delivery and biotechnology companies, as well as research organizations, governmental entities, universities, hospitals, other nonprofit organizations and individual scientists, have developed and are seeking to develop drugs, therapies and novel delivery methods to treat our targeted diseases. Most of our competitors and potential competitors are larger, better established, and more experienced and have substantially more resources than uswe or our partners.partners have. Competitors may reach the market earlier, than us or our partners, may have obtained or could obtain patent protection that dominates or adversely affects our products and potential products, and may offer products with greater efficacy, lesser side effects and/or other competitive advantages. We believe that competition for treatments of back-of-the-eye diseases is based upon the effectiveness of the treatment, side effects, time to market, reimbursement and price, reliability, availability, patent position, and other factors.

Many companies have or are pursuing products to treat back-of-the-eye diseases that are or would be competitive with our products and product candidates. Some of these products and potential products include the following:

 

  

DME, AMD, RVO, etc.DME.Genentech USA Inc.’s products Lucentis (ranibizumab) and Avastin® (bevacizumab) block isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Both productsRegeneron Pharmaceutical’s EYLEA (afibercept) are injected directly into the vitreous on a recurring basis. Lucentis is currently approved in the U.S. and the EU for the treatment of DME, neovascular wet AMD and macular edema following RVO. The relatively low-costDME. Roche’s lower-cost Avastin® is approved to treat various cancers, but is used off-label for treatment of wet AMD and diabetic retinopathy. Studies are ongoing on the use of Avastin in back-of-the-eye diseases. Genentech is a wholly-owned member of the Roche Group. Novartis has the right to market and sell Lucentis outside of the U.S. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s product EYLEA (aflibercept) is approved in the U.S., EU and Australia for the treatment of neovascular wet AMD, marketing applications have been submitted in other countries and a Phase III clinical study for wet AMD is ongoing in China. EYLEA, like Lucentis and Avastin, is injected directly into the vitreous on a regular basis. Phase III clinical trials of EYLEA for DME are underway, and Regeneron has announced that it plans to file for approval in DME by the end of 2013. Regeneron maintains exclusive rights to EYLEA in the U.S., and Bayer HealthCare owns the exclusive marketing rights outside the U.S. Lucentis, EYLEA and Avastin are all injected into the back of the eye on a regular basis. Allergan, Inc. has announced that it has submitted marketing applications in the U.S. and Europe for’s Ozurdex® (dexamethasone intravealintravitreal implant), itsa bioerodible, extended release intravitreal implant, has been approved product for posterior uveitis and RVO,the treatment of DME in DME patients.eyes that have had, or are scheduled for, cataract surgery. It has a duration of therapy of several months. Other companies, including Genentech, are working on the development of product candidates and extended delivery devices for the potential treatment of DME, wet AMD and RVO, including those that act by blocking VEGF and VEGF receptors, as well as use of small interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs) that modulate gene expression. For example, in January 2012, Genentech submitted an IND for an extended delivery device to deliver Lucentis. Eyetech, Inc.’s product Macugen (pegaptanib sodium injection) is an anti-VEGF aptamer against VEGF 165. It has been approved in the U.S. for treatment of all subtypes of choroidal neovascularization in patients with AMD.

 

  

Posterior Uveitis.Periocular steroid injections and systemic delivery of corticosteroids are used to treat posterior uveitis. Allergan, Inc.’s product Ozurdex is a bioerodible, extended release intravitreal implant that delivers the corticosteroid dexamethasone. Ozurdex is approved in the U.S. and EU for posterior uveitis and macular edema following branch or central RVO, and has a duration of therapy of three to five months. In addition, Allergan’s product Trivaris™ (triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension) is approved for uveitis and other inflammatory conditions unresponsive to topical corticosteroids.uveitis. Many companies have ongoing trials of posterior uveitis treatments, including Abbott Laboratories’Abbvie’s Humera® (adalimumab), Santen Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.’s sirolimus drug DE-109, Novartis’ AIN457 and XOMA Ltd.’s Gevokizumab™ and Genetech’s Lucentis..

Government Regulation

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and Comparable Foreign Laws.The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. These agencies regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, labeling, storage, record-keeping, approval, distribution, advertising and promotion of drug products. The process required by the FDA under the new drug provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act before our products may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

 

pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests;

 

submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;

 

adequate and well-controlled studies to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed pharmaceutical product for its intended use;

 

submission to the FDA of an NDA to obtain marketing approval; and

 

FDA review and approval of the NDA.

The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and varies substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product. We cannot be certain that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.

Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product, its chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. The results of the pre-clinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data and protocols for proposed human clinical trials, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND, which must become effective before the IND sponsor may begin human clinical trials. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period, raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND, and imposes a clinical hold. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before clinical trials can begin. There is no certainty that pre-clinical trials will result in the submission of an IND, or that submission of an IND will result in FDA authorization to commence clinical trials.

Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational product to human subjects under the supervision of qualified investigators. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and any efficacy criteria to be evaluated.

Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Further, each clinical study must be conducted under the auspices of an independent institutional review boardInstitutional Review Board (IRB) at the institution where the study will be conducted.or Ethics Committee (EC). The IRBIRB/EC will consider, among other things, ethical factors, safety of human subjects and possible liability of the institution. Some clinical trials, called “investigator-sponsored” clinical trials, are conducted by third-party investigators responsible for the regulatory obligations associated with sponsorship of a clinical trial. The results of these trials may be used as supporting data by a company in its application for FDA approval, provided that the company has contractual rights to use the results.

Human clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases which may overlap:

 

  

Phase I: The drug is initially introduced into healthy human subjects and tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion.

 

  

Phase II: Studies are conducted in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to determine the efficacy of the product for specific targeted diseases and to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage.

 

  

Phase III: These trials are undertaken to further evaluate clinical efficacy and to further test for safety in an expanded patient population, often at geographically dispersed clinical study sites.

In the case of products for life-threatening diseases such as cancer, or severe conditions such as blinding eye disease, or for products that require invasive delivery, initial human testing is often conducted in patients with the disease rather than in healthy volunteers. Since these patients already have the targeted disease or condition, these studies may provide initial evidence of efficacy traditionally obtained in Phase II trials, and so these trials are frequently referred to as Phase I/II or IIa trials.

We cannot be certain that we or our collaborative partners willmay not successfully complete Phase I, Phase II or Phase III testing of our product candidates within any specific time period, if at all. Furthermore, we, our collaborative partners, the FDA, the IRB,IRBs/ECs, foreign regulatory authorities or the sponsor, if any, may suspend clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

Once ana product approval is granted, the FDA may withdraw the approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of post-market studies or clinical trials to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution or other restrictions under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. Other potential consequences include, among other things:

 

restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of the product, product recalls, or complete withdrawal of the product from the market;

 

fines, warning letters or holds on post-approval clinical trials;

 

refusal of the FDA to approve pending NDAs or supplements to approved NDAs, or suspension or revocation of product license approvals;

 

product seizure or detention, or refusal to permit the import or export of products; or

 

injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

The FDA strictly regulates marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of products that are placed on the market. Drugs may be promoted only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the

approved label. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability.

The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) is designed to provide the public with more easily accessible information about the safety and efficacy of marketed drugs and the FDA with increased authority to ensure drug safety. The FDAAA requires that we register each controlled clinical trial, aside from a Phase I trial, on a website (www.ClinicalTrials.gov) administered by National Institutes of Health (NIH), including descriptive information (e.g., a summary in lay terms of the study design, type and desired outcome), recruitment information (e.g., target number of participants and whether healthy volunteers are accepted), location and contact information and administrative data (e.g., FDA identification numbers). Within one year of a trial’s completion, information about the trial, including characteristics of the patient sample, primary and secondary outcomes, trial results written in lay and technical terms and the full trial protocol must be submitted to the website, unless the drug has not yet been approved. In that case the information is posted shortly after product approval has been obtained. The FDA requires certification of compliance with all relevant FDAAA clinical trials reporting requirements during product development.

The results of product development, pre-clinical studies and clinical studies are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA for approval of the marketing and commercial shipment of the product. The FDA may deny an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, or may require additional clinical data. Even if the additional data are submitted, the FDA ultimately may decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require a sponsor to conduct additional clinical trials to confirm that the drug is safe and effective for its intended uses.

Satisfaction of FDA requirements or similar requirements of foreign regulatory agencies typically takes several years or more, and varies substantially. Regulatory authorities may delay marketing of potential products for a considerable period of time or prevent it entirely, and may require costly procedures in order to obtain regulatory approval. The time and expense required to obtain FDA or foreign regulatory clearance or approval for regulated products can frequently exceed the time and expense of the research and development initially required to create the product. Success in pre-clinical or early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinical trials. Data from pre-clinical and clinical activities may not be conclusive, and may be susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay or prevent regulatory approval. Even if a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be subject to significant limitations based on data from pre-clinical and clinical activities. The FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may also require surveillance programs to monitor approved products which have been commercialized and may require changes in labeling.

Once issued, the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may withdraw product approval for non-compliance with regulatory requirements or if safety or efficacy problems occur or are demonstrated in subsequent studies after the product reaches the market. Any product manufactured or distributed under FDA or foreign regulatory approval is subject to pervasive and continuing regulation. All manufacturers must comply with regulations related to requirements for record-keeping and reporting adverse experiences with the product, and the FDA may also require surveillance programs to monitor approved products that have been commercialized. The FDA has the power to require changes in product labeling or to prevent further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-marketing programs. Even after initial FDA or other foreign regulatory approval has been obtained, we or our collaborative partners could be required to conduct further studies to provide additional data on safety or efficacy or, should we desire, to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for additional clinical indications. In addition, use of a product during testing and after marketing approval has been obtained could reveal side effects which, if serious, could limit uses, or in the most serious cases, result in a market withdrawal of the product or expose us to product liability claims. For certain drugs that the FDA determines pose risks that outweigh the benefits, FDA approval may be subject to the manufacturers’ continued adherence to a REMS program. REMS, which are tailored to specifically address the risks of a given drug, may contain elements that restrict distribution of the drug to certain physicians, pharmacists and patients, or that require the use of

communication tools such as letters to healthcare providers and patients detailing the risks associated with the drug. Foreign regulatory authorities also regulate post-approval activities.

Commercial drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register with the FDA and state agencies. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are also subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and state agencies for compliance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), which impose procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our third-party manufacturers.

Healthcare Law and Regulation.Healthcare providers, including physicians, and third-party payors play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of drug products that are granted marketing approval. Arrangements with healthcare providers, third-party payors and other healthcare customers are subject to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations in the U.S. and in other countries and jurisdictions. Such restrictionsWithin the U.S., these laws generally apply to pharmaceutical companies once the companies have marketed products or marketed products reimbursable by federal healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. For the laws with such applicability, we could be subject to the laws if any of our product candidates in the future receive marketing approval and/or coverage under applicablefederal healthcare programs. Although the specific provisions of these laws vary, their scope is generally broad and there may not be regulations, guidance or court decisions that apply the laws to particular industry practices. Such U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations include the following:

 

the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program such as Medicare and Medicaid;

 

the federal False Claims Act imposes civil penalties, and provides for civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals or entities for knowingly engaging in certain activities, including presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government;

 

the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, imposes criminal and civil liability for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters;

HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and its implementing regulations, also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information;

the federal false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services; and

 

the federal transparency requirements under the Health Care Reform Law will require manufacturers of drugs, devices drugs and medical supplies to report to the Department of Health and Human Servicesfederal government information related to certain payments and other transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals, andas well as physician ownership and investment interests.

AnalogousWithin the U.S., analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by governmental as well as non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers. Foreign laws may also seek to prevent fraud and abuse.

Some stateLaws and regulations have been enacted by various states to regulate the sales and marketing practices of pharmaceutical companies with marketed products. The laws and regulations generally limit financial interactions between manufacturers and health-care providers; require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the U.S. federal government; and/or require disclosure to the government and public of financial interactions. Many of these laws and regulations contain ambiguous requirements or require administrative guidance for implementation. Given the lack of clarity in additionlaws and their implementation, any future reporting (if

we obtain approval and/or reimbursement from federal healthcare programs for our product candidates) could be subject to requiring drug manufacturers to report information related to payments to physiciansthe penalty provisions of the pertinent laws and otherregulations.

HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and its implementing regulations, also imposes obligations on certain health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses (which are entities that processor facilitate the processing of nonstandard data elements of health information into standard data elements, or marketing expenditures.vice versa) and certain of their contractors with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. State and foreign laws also govern the privacy and security of health information in some circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.

Other Laws.We are also subject to numerous other federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations now or in the future. In addition, we cannot predict what adverse governmental regulations may arise from future U.S. or foreign governmental action.

Foreign Laws.We and our collaborative partners are also subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products sold in theirforeign countries. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely by country. Whether or not FDA approval is obtained, we or our collaborative partners must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before manufacturing or marketing the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time required for these approvals may differ substantially from that required for FDA approval. There is no assurance that clinical trials conducted in one country will be accepted by other countries, or that approval in one country will result in approval in any other country. For clinical trials conducted outside the U.S., the clinical stages generally are comparable to the phases of clinical development established by the FDA.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

We do not know if or when we will achieve profitable operations from product sales, royalties and net profits participations and we may need additional capital to fund our operations, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

We have a history of operating losses, and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

With the exceptionat June 30, 2015, we had a total accumulated deficit of net income in fiscal 2010 resulting from a non-recurring event, we have incurred operating losses since our inception in 2000. We do not currently have any assured sources of revenues. Although Alimera launched ILUVIEN commercially in the U.K. and Germany in the second quarter of 2013 and announced its intention to launch in France in the first quarter of 2014, we do not know the timing and extent of any revenues we may receive from ILUVIEN for DME. Unless Alimera receives FDA approval of ILUVIEN for DME, we will not be entitled to receive the $25.0 million milestone payment that would be due on such an approval, and Alimera will not be able to sell, nor will we earn any revenues from sales of, ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. We will not receive any funding under our Restated Pfizer Agreement unless Pfizer exercises its option with respect to the Latanoprost Product, which becomes exercisable only if we complete Phase II clinical trials, which have not yet been initiated, or if we cease development of the Latanoprost Product prior to completion of those trials. There is no assurance that Pfizer will exercise its option. Our Retisert royalty income from Bausch & Lomb is not expected to increase to a level sufficient to sustain our operations and may decline. Further, we expect to significantly increase our research and development expense as a result of our independent development of Medidur for posterior uveitis. Our ability to achieve profitability is expected to depend, among other things, upon Alimera’s ability to achieve FDA approval of and to successfully commercialize ILUVIEN for DME and our or any other licensees’ ability to achieve regulatory approval and sufficient revenues from commercialization of one or more products.

We expect to need additional capital resources to fund our operations, and our ability to obtain them is uncertain.

We expect to continue to generate negative cash flows from operations unless and until ILUVIEN for DME achieves sufficient revenues from commercialization or one or more of our product candidates achieves regulatory approval and sufficient revenues from commercialization.$270.7 million. During the past three fiscal years, we have financed our operations primarily from the proceeds of offerings of our common stock and warrants and consideration received from our collaborative partners, including license fees, andmilestone payments, research and development funding.funding and royalty income from our collaboration partners and sales of equity securities. We currentlydo not have no committed fundingany assured sources of revenue, and we expect negative cash flows from collaborative partners.operations in subsequent quarters until we receive sufficient revenues from commercialization of ILUVIEN or one or more of our other product candidates achieve regulatory approval and provide us sufficient revenues. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securitiescapital resources of $10.3$28.5 million at June 30, 2013 together with the $9.9 million of net proceeds from our July 2013 underwritten public offering of common stock, expected Retisert royalty income and other expected cash inflows under existing collaboration and technology evaluation agreements, will2015 should enable us to fund our current andoperations as currently planned operations through(including our Medidur clinical trials) into early calendar year 2014.2017. This includes expected costs through that date of Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis, but does not includeestimate excludes any potential milestone or net profits receipts under the Alimera collaboration agreement. Our capital resources would be enhanced if Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and if ILUVIEN for DME were approved and successfully commercialized in the U.S., although even so,from sales of ILUVIEN. We expect that our ability to fund our planned operations beyond then will depend on the amount and timing of those payments, as well as proceeds from any such receipts is uncertain. Accordingly,future collaboration or other agreements and/or financing transactions.

Whether we expectwill require, or desire, to need additional resources to fund our planned Phase III trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis and other research and development and operations. Our need forraise additional capital resources will be influenced by the followingmany factors, among others:including, but not limited to:

 

whether, when and to what extent we receive revenues from Alimera with respect to ILUVIEN for DME, including fromthe commercialization in the EU or upon any approval or commercialization in the U.S.;of ILUVIEN;

 

the timing and cost of development, approval and marketing of Medidur for posterior uveitis;

 

whether and to what extent we internally fund, whether and when we initiate, and completehow we conduct other product development programs;

the amount of Retisert royalties and other payments we receive under collaboration agreements;

whether and when we initiate Phase II clinical trials for the Latanoprost Product and whether and when Pfizer exercises its option;

 

whether and the extent to which we internally fund, when we initiate, and how we conduct product development and programs, including with respect to our BioSilicon and Tethadur technology;

whether and when we are able to enter into strategic arrangements for productsour product candidates and the nature of those arrangements;

 

timely and successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our products and product candidates;

 

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing any patent claims; and

 

changes in our operating plan, resulting in increases or decreases in our need for capital; and

our views on the availability, timing and desirability of raising capital.

We may seekIf we determine that it is desirable or necessary to raise additional capital resources through possible sales of equity or debt securities or new collaborative or licensing agreements and/or possible other agreements and transactions. Many factors relating to our company, such as the status of FDA approval of ILUVIEN for DME, the status of commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU,future, we do not know if it will be available when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. We have an at-the-market (ATM) facility, but we do not know whether and the status of development of our product candidates, as well as theto what extent we will seek to sell shares pursuant to that program and, if we are able to do so, on what terms. The state of the economy and the financial and credit markets at the time or times we seek any additional financing may make our ability to secure additional capital resourcesit more difficult or more expensive to obtain or result in less favorable terms.obtain. If available, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and potential dilutive equity, and funding through collaboration licensing or other agreements may be on unfavorable terms, including requiring us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and potential dilutive equity. If adequate financing is not available if and when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate research or development programs, postpone or cancel the pursuit of product candidates, including pre-clinical and clinical trials and new business opportunities, reduce staff and operating costs or otherwise significantly curtail our operations to reduce our cash requirements and extend our capital.products.

If the recorded value of our intangible assets under GAAP is further impaired, our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

We recorded significant amountsAt June 30, 2015, we had $1.9 million of intangible assets in connection with earlier acquisitions. We tookrelating to our Durasert and BioSilicon (including Tethadur) technologies on our balance sheet following impairment charges of $3.1$14.8 million with respect to the value of our Durasert intangible asset and $11.7 million with respect to the value of our BioSilicon intangible asset as of December 31, 2011. We had $3.4 million of intangible assets on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, of which $2.4 million related to our Durasert technology and $1.0 million related to our BioSilicon technology. We will continue to conduct impairment analyses of our intangible assets as required under GAAP and we would be required tocould take additional impairment charges in the future if anythe recorded values for our intangible assets were to exceed our assessment of the recoverability assessmentsof the fair market value of those assets reflect fair market values that are less than our recorded values, and such charges could be significant. The carrying values of our Durasert and BioSilicon technology systems could be impaired if there is a future triggering event,assets. Adverse events relating to these technologies, including without limitation, adverse events with respect tothe clinical development, regulatory approval and success of commercialization of products using those technologies,them, and significant changes in our market capitalization.capitalization could result in impairment charges. Further impairment charges on our intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.operations in the quarter of the impairment.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly from period to period in the past and may continue to do so in the future due to many factors, including:

 

developments with respect to our products and product candidates, including pre-clinical and clinical trial results, regulatory developments and marketing and sales results;

timing, receipt and amount of revenues, including receipt and revenue recognition of payments, if any, from collaboration partners, including, without limitation, collaborative research and development, milestone, royalty, net profitprofits participation and other payments;

 

announcement, execution, amendment and termination of collaboration agreements;

 

scope, duration and success of collaboration agreements;

 

amountcosts of internally funded research and development, costs, including pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;

general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions that may affect, among other things, our and our collaborators’ operations and financial results; and

 

changes in accounting estimates, policies or principles and intangible asset impairments.

Due to fluctuations in our operating results, quarterly comparisons of our financial results may not necessarily be meaningful, and investors should not rely upon such results as an indication of future performance.

Retisert royalty income, which totaled between $1.3 million and $1.4 million in each of the fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, declined to $1.2 million in fiscal 2015. We do not expect that our Retisert royalty income from Bausch & Lomb willto grow materially, if at all, and it may continue to decline. There is no assurance that Bausch & Lomb will continue to market Retisert, which received marketing approval in 2005.2005, and accordingly that we will continue to receive royalties from the sale of Retisert. Bausch & Lomb no longer markets Vitrasert.

RISKS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF OUR PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT CANDIDATES

If the FDA does not approve ILUVIEN for DME, Alimera will be unable to commercialize the product in the U.S., and we will not receive payments to which we would be entitled upon such approval and from successful commercialization, which could materially impair our financial prospects.

Alimera received a 2010 CRL from the FDA with respect to its NDA for ILUVIEN for DME and the 2011 CRL in response to its first resubmission of the NDA. In both the 2010 and 2011 CRLs, the FDA stated that it was unable to approve the then current NDA. Although Alimera resubmitted the NDA a second time and received a new PDUFA goal date of October 17, 2013, thereThere is no assurance that Alimera’s resubmissionAlimera will demonstrate to the FDA that the benefits ofsuccessfully commercialize ILUVIEN for DME outweigh its risks, that additional clinical trials will not be required, that the subgroup of patients with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies will be acceptable to the FDA or that we will receive any significant revenues from its commercialization. If Alimera will be able to obtain regulatory approval fordoes not successfully commercialize ILUVIEN for DME, it would adversely affect our future results of operations and financial position.

Our future financial results depend heavily on Alimera’s ability to successfully commercialize ILUVIEN for DME. We do not know if, when, or to what extent we will receive future revenues from the commercialization of

ILUVIEN for DME. We are entitled to a net profit participation on a country-by-country and quarter-by-quarter basis on sales of ILUVIEN where Alimera markets ILUVIEN directly and to a percentage of royalties and non-royalty consideration where Alimera sublicenses the marketing of ILUVIEN. The amount and timing of any revenues we receive will be affected, among other things, by the manner in which Alimera markets ILUVIEN, the U.S. Accordingly,amounts and timing of sales of ILUVIEN, commercialization costs incurred by Alimera’s direct marketing efforts, and the terms of sublicense agreements.

The commercialization of ILUVIEN is a significant undertaking by Alimera, and ILUVIEN for DME may never be approvedis its first and marketedonly product. While Alimera believes that it has sufficient funds available to fund its operations for the continued commercialization of ILUVIEN in the U.S., in which case we would not receiveGermany, Portugal and the milestone paymentUnited Kingdom, Alimera has reported that its negative cash flows from operations and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to which we would be entitled on FDA approval or any revenues fromcontinue as a going concern. Alimera may seek to raise additional financing to fund its working capital needs for the commercialization which would be materially adverse to our business. Further, weof ILUVIEN. We do not know whether Alimera will continuebe successful in generating adequate cash flows, obtaining adequate capital or achieving additional marketing approvals for, obtaining adequate pricing and reimbursement for, successfully commercializing and achieving market acceptance of, and generating revenues to seek to develop,pSivida from, ILUVIEN for DME. Commercialization by Alimera in the U.S., Germany, Portugal and the U.K, including the transitioning from an outside provider of sales and marketing services in the U.K. and Germany and the provision of extended payment terms in the U.S., has required a significant expansion of Alimera’s commercial infrastructure and significant financial investments. Delays in the commercial launch in other EU countries where ILUVIEN has received marketing authorization could result in withdrawal of marketing or receive approval from the FDA or other regulatory agenciesauthorization for ILUVIEN for in one or more of those jurisdictions. Alimera’s efforts to commercialize ILUVIEN successfully will be affected, among other things, by:

Alimera’s ability to generate positive cash flows from operations and to raise adequate capital when and as needed;

Alimera’s ability to recruit, manage and retain personnel, expand its sales, marketing and other infrastructure, and manage its growth;

Alimera’s ability to effectively market ILUVIEN, including accessing and persuading adequate numbers of ophthalmologists to prescribe ILUVIEN;

the treatmentlack of other eye conditions currently being studied underproducts to be offered by Alimera’s agreementsales personnel, which may put Alimera at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with us.more extensive product lines;

Alimera’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals and appropriate labeling to market ILUVIEN in other jurisdictions, and to timely expand its marketing into countries where it has previously obtained and may in the future obtain approvals;

Alimera’s ability to obtain desirable pricing, insurance coverage and reimbursement for ILUVIEN;

potential delays in the commercial launch in one or more countries;

manufacturing or supply issues;

risks related to operating in international jurisdictions; and

Alimera’s ability to generate adequate financial resources.

If Alimera is not successful in commercializing ILUVIEN for DME and generating payments to us, it would adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Sales of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU may be materially adversely affected by pricing and reimbursement decisions of regulatory bodies, insurers and others.

Prices, coverage and reimbursement to consumers of ILUVIEN for DME, like other drugs, are generally regulated by third-party payors, such as government health administration authorities and plans, private health

insurers and other organizations and affect ILUVIEN’s sales. The timing and complexity of those reimbursements also affect sales. Prices in the EU countries are regulated, with prices generally lower and coverage and access to drugs more limited than in the U.S., which could continue to affect the amount of revenues from the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU. Alimera has been engaged in regulatory proceedings and negotiations with respect to pricing and reimbursement. There is no assurance as to what level of governmental pricing and reimbursement will be permitted, particularly in light of the ongoing budget crises faced by a number of countries in the EU. For example, there is no assurance that the patient population in the U.K. will expand beyond privately insured and private pay patients or what the level of permitted reimbursement will be. There can be no assurance that NICE will accept the recommendation of the Appraisal Committee and amend its final guidanceScotland, National Health Service coverage is limited to provide ILUVIEN for the treatment of pseudophakicthe eyes of chronic DME patients orunresponsive to existing therapies that such patients will be reimbursed by the National Health Service. Similarly, there is no assurance thathave undergone cataract surgery, subject to simple patient access schemes. Alimera willmay not achieve satisfactory agreements with statutory insurersor other insurers. We do not know what levels of pricing will be approved or reimbursed for ILUVIEN, or what restrictions will be placed on its use or reuse in Germany to avoid individual reimbursement submissions.countries where ILUVIEN is not currently sold. In the U.S., Alimera has reported its belief thatoffered extended customer payment terms. Future sales of ILUVIEN for DME in Germany and, the U.K. have been adversely affected, and future sales in

those and other EU countriesaccordingly, our net profits share, may be adversely affected by pricing and reimbursement decisions, and such affectseffects may be material.

We do not know if and when we will receive revenues from any commercialization of ILUVIENThe micro-insert for DME in the EU and the extent of those revenues.

There is no assurance if and when, and to what extent, we will receive revenues from the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU. Although Alimera commercially launched ILUVIEN in the U.K. and Germany during the quarter ended June 2013, there were limited sales in that quarter. Alimera has announced its intention to launch in France in the first quarter of 2014, but has not announced commercialization plans for the other EU countries where it has marketing approval. Alimera has no prior experience in commercializing products. There is no assurance that Alimera will be able to build and manage a successful commercial operation in the EU or that it will have sufficient capital to do so. Further, because we are entitled to a net profit participation on sales of ILUVIEN wherever Alimera markets ILUVIEN directly and a percentage of royalties and non-royalty consideration wherever Alimera sublicenses the marketing of ILUVIEN, the amount and timing of any revenues we receive will be affected by the manner in which Alimera determines to market ILUVIEN in other countries. Although Alimera has reported that it intends to seek marketing approval of ILUVIEN for DME in additional EU countries, there is no assurance that Alimera will apply for or obtain any such additional approvals. Further, we cannot project what the demand will be for ILUVIEN for DME in the EU countries where ILUVIEN is marketed.

BothThe micro-insert for both ILUVIEN and Medidur for posterior uveitis deliverdelivers the non-proprietary corticosteroid FAc, which is associated with undesirable side effects in the eye, such as cataract formation and elevated intraocular pressure, whichIOP and may increase the risk of glaucoma and related surgery to manage those side effects. In the 2011 CRL, the FDA stated that the risks of adverse reactions shown for ILUVIEN for DME in the FAME Study were significant and were not offset by the benefits demonstrated by ILUVIEN for DME in those clinical trials. These side effects may affect the approvability of ILUVIEN for DME and the other eye conditions forAlthough Retisert, which it is being studied. Although FDA-approved Retisert and our product candidate Medidur both deliveralso delivers FAc to treat posterior uveitis, and ILUVIEN for DME have both been approved by the FDA, there is no assurance that Medidur will be determined to be safe and efficacious for the treatment of posterior uveitis in light of its expected side effects from FAc. Even if these product candidates are approved, theseThese side effects may limit the population for which marketing authorization is granted or for which reimbursement is provided in one or more jurisdictions and/or adversely affect their successful marketing.sales of Medidur, if approved, and/or ILUVIEN.

There is no assurance that Medidur will be found to be safe and effective for the treatment of posterior uveitis.

While we are optimistic that the Phase III trials for Medidur will show it to be as efficacious as Retisert was shown to be in treating posterior uveitis, but with IOP safety results that could be even better than those shown in the ILUVIEN and Retisert Phase III trials, this is only a hypothesis, and there is no assurance that the ongoing Medidur Phase III clinical trials will demonstrate these results. Data from our ongoing IOP assessment from the Medidur Phase III trials and top-line results from the Medidur investigator-sponsored study may not accurately predict the results of our Medidur Phase III program. There is no assurance that the Phase III program for Medidur will provide the necessary evidence of safety and efficacy required to file an NDA or for approval by the FDA and other regulatory authorities if an NDA is filed. Approvals of Retisert and ILUVIEN by the FDA and other regulatory authorities are not predictive of actions they may take with respect to Medidur.

There is no assurance that we will be able to file an NDA for Medidur as early as the first half of 2017, or that, if filed, the FDA will accept the NDA for review.

Filing an NDA for Medidur will require positive results from our two Phase III trials. Based on our most recent meeting with the FDA, we plan to seek approval of Medidur based on 12-month data from our first Phase III trial, six-month data from our second Phase III trial and data from a short-duration utilization study of our redesigned proprietary inserter, together with data referenced from the Phase III trials of ILUVIEN for DME. We will be filing an amendment with the Indian regulatory authority requesting to change the primary endpoint in the protocol of our second Phase III trial in India from twelve to six months consistent with the primary endpoint for filing the NDA in the U.S., although there is no assurance they will accept the amendment. Further, although enrollment is complete in our first Phase III trial, we do not expect enrollment to be completed in our second Phase III trial until the end of the second quarter of 2016. Many factors could affect the timing of filing any NDA for Medidur, including completion of enrollment in the second trial in the time frame we anticipate, utilizing the data on which we currently plan to base the NDA, analyzing the data in the time frame we anticipate, requirements from regulators that would affect our timing, and the actual results from the trials. As a result, there is no assurance that an NDA for Medidur will be filed on the basis of the data we currently plan to use or that it will be filed in the first half of 2017, if at all.

Even if we file an NDA for Medidur, there is no assurance that the FDA will accept the NDA for review. While we believe the FDA will accept the filing of an NDA for Medidur based on the data we currently plan to utilize, the FDA has significant discretion in determining whether to accept an NDA for review and there is no assurance that the FDA will find the design of our clinical trials or the data we include in an NDA to be sufficient to accept the NDA for review. Any delay in the filing of an NDA for Medidur or the FDA’s refusal to accept the NDA for review could materially and adversely affect our business and the price of our common stock.

We are currently conducting, and may in the future conduct, clinical trials for product candidates at sites outside the United States, and the FDA may not accept data from trials conducted in such locations.

We are currently conducting a Phase III trial of Medidur in India, and may in the future choose to conduct one or more of our clinical trials outside the United States.

In general, the FDA accepts data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States; however, acceptance of this data is subject to, among other things, the clinical trials being conducted and performed by qualified investigators in accordance with Good Clinical Practice principles. The trial population must also adequately represent the U.S. population, and the data must be applicable to the U.S. population and U.S. medical practice in ways that the FDA deems clinically meaningful. In addition, while these clinical trials are subject to applicable locals laws, FDA acceptance of the data will depend on its determination that the trials also complied with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. If the FDA does not accept the data from any trial that we conduct outside the United States, it would likely result in the need for additional trials, which would be costly and time-consuming and delay or permanently halt our development of the applicable product candidates.

There is no assurance that Pfizer will exercise its option with respect to the Latanoprost Product if we initiate and complete Phase II trials or thatcease development, in which case we will not receive any further financial consideration under the Restated Pfizer Agreement.

In June 2011, we amended our Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer to focus solely on the development of the Latanoprost Product. Development of this product through Phase II clinical trials is at our own expense. Pfizer has an option for an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product upon our completion of Phase II clinical trials, which are at our option and expense, or if we ceaseupon our cessation of development of the Latanoprost Product at any time prior to completion of those trials. There is no assurance that we will commence or complete Phase II clinical trials for the Latanoprost Product; that, if completed, the trials will be successful; that Pfizer will, in any event, exercise its option; that, if exercised, Pfizer will commence Phase III clinical trials; or that the Latanoprost Product will achieve successful Phase III trial results, regulatory approvals or commercial success. As a result, there is no assurance that we will receive any further licensing, milestone or royalty payments under the Restated Pfizer Agreement.

We do not know if we will be able to deliver proteins (including antibodies) and peptides with our Tethadur technology or that we will be able to develop product candidates or approved products using this technology.

Although we are optimistic that our Tethadur technology platform can provide sustained delivery of proteins (including antibodies) and peptides, and our data from an in vitro study has shown that the long-term sustained release of antibodies such as Avastin is achievable using Tethadur, our research is at an early stage and we face challenges. Development of any product candidates is expected to require significant additional research. There is no assurance that our subsequent research will be successful or that we will be able to develop product candidates or approved products using Tethadur to deliver proteins and peptides.

Product development is very uncertain. If we or our licensees are unable to or do not develop product candidates to enter clinical trials, if we or any licensees do not initiate or complete clinical trials for our product candidates or if our product candidates do not receive the necessary regulatory approvals, neither we or ournor any licensees will be unableable to commercialize ourthose product candidates.candidates and generate revenues for us.

Our current and future activities are and will be subject to stringent regulation by governmental authorities both in the U.S. and other countries in which our products are marketed. Before we or our licensees can manufacture, market and sell any of our product candidates, approval from the FDA and/or foreign regulatory authorities is required to market in the applicable jurisdictions. Generally, in order to obtain these approvals, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials must demonstrate that a product candidate is safe for human use and effective for its targeted disease or condition.

ILUVIEN for DME has completed pivotal clinical trials, which were conducted pursuant to our Alimera collaboration agreement, andOther than Medidur for posterior uveitis, has commenced the first of twofor which pivotal Phase III clinical trials. Alltrials are ongoing, all of our other product development is at earlier stages. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II study of the Latanoprost Product is ongoing, but we have not commenced Phase II clinical trials, and BioSilicon and Tethadur product candidates are all in the pre-clinical stage. Product development at all stages involves a high degree of risk, and only a

small proportion of research and development programs result in product candidates that advance to pivotal clinical trials or toresult in approved products. There is no assurance that evaluationany feasibility study agreements we have, or enter into, with third parties, or our own research and development programs and collaborations will result in any new product candidates, or licenses, or that we or ourany licensees will commence clinical trials for any new product candidates or continue clinical trials for any of our product candidates.once commenced. If clinical trials conducted by or for us or ourany licensees for any of our product candidates do not provide the necessary evidence of safety and efficacy, those product candidates will not receive the necessary regulatory approvals, cannot be manufactured and sold, and will not generate revenues.revenues for us. Initial or subsequent clinical trials may not be initiated by or for us or ourany licensees for product candidates or may be delayed, terminated or fail due to many factors, including the following:

 

decisions by parties evaluating our technologies not to pursue development of products with us;product candidates due to pre-clinical or clinical trial results;

 

our (or our licensees’) lack of sufficient funding to pursue trials rapidly or at all;funding;

 

our (or our licensees’) inability to attract clinical investigators for trials;

 

our (or our licensees’) inability to recruit patients in sufficient numbers or at the expected rate;

 

our inability to find or reach agreement with licensees to undertake clinical trials;

decisions by licensees not to exercise options for products andor not to pursue products licensed to them;

 

adverse side effects;

 

failure of trials to demonstrate a product candidate’s safety and efficacy;

 

our (or our licensees’) failure to meet FDA or other regulatory agency requirements for clinical trial design, or inadequate clinical trial design;

 

our (or our licensees’) inability to follow patients adequately after treatment;

 

changes in the design or manufacture of a product;

 

failures by, changes in our (or our licensees’) relationship with, or other issues at, contract research organizations (CROs), third-party vendors and investigators responsible for pre-clinical testing and clinical trials;

 

our (or our licensees’) inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials;

 

stability issues with clinical materials;

 

failure to comply with current good laboratory practices (GLP), good clinical practices (GCP) or good manufacturing practices, cGMP or similar foreign regulatory requirements that affect the conduct of pre-clinical and clinical studies and the manufacturing of products;

requests by regulatory authorities for additional data or clinical trials;

 

governmental or regulatory agency assessments of pre-clinical or clinical testing that differsdiffer from our (or our licensees’) interpretations or conclusions that product candidates meet quality standards for stability, quality, purity and potency;conclusions;

 

governmental or regulatory delays, or changes in approval policies or regulations; and

 

developments, clinical trial results and other factors with respect to competitive products and treatments.

Results from pre-clinical testing, and early clinical trials, investigator-sponsored studies and other data and indications often do not accurately predict results of laterfinal pivotal clinical trials.trial results. Data obtained from pre-clinical and clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Data from pre-clinical studies, earlyother clinical trials and interim periods in multi-year trials are preliminary and may change, and final data from pivotal trials for such products may differ significantly. Adverse side effects may develop that delay, limit or prevent the regulatory approval of products, or cause such regulatory approvals to be limited or even rescinded. Additional trials necessary for approval may not be undertaken or may ultimately fail to establish the safety and efficacy of our product candidates. There is no assurance, for example, that the Durasert product candidate to treat pain associated with severe knee osteoarthritis will advance to Phase III trials or will be safe or effective.

The FDA or other relevant regulatory agencies may not approve our product candidates for manufacture and sale, and any approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by other regulatory agencies or vice versa (which could require us to comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements, possibly including additional clinical testing). Any product approvals we or our licensees achieve could also be withdrawn for failure to comply with regulatory standards or due to unforeseen problems after the products’product’s marketing approval. In either case, marketing efforts with respect to the affected product would have to cease. In addition, the FDA or other regulatory agencies may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which a product may be marketed. The imposition by the FDA or other regulatory organizations of any such limitations on the indicated uses for which any of our products may be marketed which maywould reduce the size of, or otherwise limit, the potential market for the product.product subject to such limitations.

In addition to testing, regulatory agencies impose various requirements on manufacturers and sellers of products under their jurisdiction, such as packaging, labeling, manufacturing practices, record keeping and reporting. Regulatory agencies may also require post-marketing testing and surveillance programs to monitor a product’s effects. Furthermore, changes in existing regulations or the adoption of new regulations could prevent us from obtaining, or affect the timing of, future regulatory approvals.

We do not currently have a limited abilitysales and marketing capacity. There is no assurance that we will have the financial resources to develop the capacity to, or be able to, successfully market and marketsell products ourselves. Ifif we are unableseek to find development or marketing partners, or our development or marketing partners do not successfully develop or market our products, we may be unable to effectively develop and market products on our own.so.

Our strategy includes independently developing and commercializing products. We do not know when or if we will seek to directly commercialize any products but weourselves. We currently have limited product developmentno marketing and sales staff and no experience in commercializing products. Direct commercialization would require us to develop sales and marketing capability and to make a significant financial investment. If we decide to independently and directly commercialize a product, there is no marketing or sales staff. Developing products and achieving market acceptance for them can require extensive and substantial efforts by experienced personnel as well as expenditure of significant funds. We may notassurance we will be able to establishhire and manage a successful sales and marketing capability or fund sufficient capabilitieshave the financial resources necessary to developfund independent commercialization of any products.

The success of our current and possible future collaborative and licensing arrangements depends and will depend heavily on the experience, resources, efforts and activities of our licensees, and if they are not successful in developing and marketing our products, and achieve market penetration ourselves.it will adversely affect our revenues, if any, from those products.

Our business strategy also includes continuing to leverage our technology platforms by entering into collaborative and licensing arrangements for the development and commercialization of our product candidates, where appropriate, and we currently have collaboration and/or licensing arrangements with Alimera, Pfizer, Bausch & Lomb and Enigma. The curtailment or termination of any of these arrangements could adversely affect our business, our ability to develop and commercialize our products, product candidates and proposed products and our ability to fund operations.

appropriate. The success of thesecurrent and future collaborative and licensing arrangements do and will depend heavily on the experience, resources, skill, efforts and activities of our licensees. Our licensees have had, and are expected to have, significant discretion in making decisions related to the development of product candidates and the

commercialization of products under these collaboration agreements. Risks that we face in connection with our collaboration and licensing strategy include the following:

 

our collaborative and licensing arrangements are, and are expected to be, subject to termination under various circumstances, including on short notice and without cause;

 

we are required, and expect to be required, under our collaborative and licensing arrangements, not to conduct specified types of research and development in the field that is the subject of the arrangement or not to sell products in such field, limiting the areas of research, development and commercialization that we can pursue;

 

our licensees may be permitted to develop and commercialize, either alone or with others, products that are similar to or competitive with our products;

 

our licensees may change the focus of their development and commercialization efforts or decrease or fail to increase spending related to our products or product candidates, thereby limiting the ability of these products to reach their potential;

our licensees may lack the funding, personnel or experience to develop and commercialize our products successfully or may otherwise fail to do so; and

 

our licensees may not perform their obligations, in whole or in part.

To the extent that we seek to independently manufacture, marketWe currently have collaboration and sell products or are unable to enter into future license agreementslicensing arrangements with marketingvarious companies, most significantly Alimera and sales partners where we deem appropriate, we would experience increased capital requirements to develop the ability to manufacture, market and sell future products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manufacture, market or sell our products or future products independently.

Our current licensees may terminate their agreements with us at any time, and if they do, we will lose the benefits of those agreements and may not be able to develop and sell products currently licensed to them.

Our licensees have rights of termination under our agreements with them. Exercise of termination rights by one or more of our licensees may leave us without the financial benefits and development, marketing or sales resources provided under the terminated agreement, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our interests may not continue to coincide with those of our partners, and our partners may develop, independently or with third parties, products or technologies that could compete with our products. Further, we may disagree with our partners over the rights and obligations under those agreements, including ownership of technologies or other proprietary interests, noncompetition, payments or other issues, which could result in breach of the agreements, including related damages or injunctive relief or termination.

For example, Pfizer may terminate the Restated Pfizer Agreement with respect to the Latanoprost Product without penalty at any time and for any reason upon 60 days’ written notice,Bausch & Lomb. While Bausch & Lomb may terminate its license agreement with respect to Retisert without penalty at any time upon 90 days’ written notice and Alimera may abandon the development and commercialization of any licensed product, including ILUVIEN for DME, at any time.

Any of our licensees may decide not to continue to develop, exercise options or commercialize products under their respective agreements, change strategic focus, or pursue alternative technologies instead of our technologies or develop competing products. While Pfizer and Bausch & Lomb havehas significant experience in the ophthalmic field and have substantial resources, there is no assurance whether, and to what extent, that experience and those resources will be devoted to Retisert, and we do not expect revenues from Retisert to increase materially and they may decline further. Although we believe potential revenues from ILUVIEN for DME are important to our technologies.future results of operations and financial condition, Alimera has limited experience and limited financial resources, and ILUVIEN for DME is Alimera’s first and only commercial product. Actions, including breachesAlimera has reported that its negative cash flows from operations and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Further, due to the limited revenue generated by Alimera to date, Alimera may not be able to maintain compliance with covenants under its loan agreement and, in the event of a default, we do not know whether Alimera will be able to obtain amendments or waivers of those covenants. We do not know if Alimera will be able to raise additional financing if and when required.

If our current and future licensees are not successful in developing and marketing our products, it will adversely affect our revenues, if any, from those products.

Our current licensees may terminate their agreements with us at any time or fail to fulfill their obligations under those agreements, and, if they do, we will lose the benefits of those agreements.

Our licensees have rights of termination of theseunder our agreements bywith them and could terminate those agreements without cause on short notice. Further, our licensees may fail to fulfill their obligations under their agreements, or we may disagree with them over the rights and obligations under those agreements, which could result in breach of the agreements and/or termination. Exercise of termination rights by one or more of our licensees or by us may leave us without the financial benefits and development, marketing or sales resources provided under the terminated agreement. It could be necessary for us to replace, or seek to provide ourselves, the services provided by the licensee, and there is no assurance we would be successful in doing so. It could delay, impair or stop the development or

commercialization of any of the products or product candidates licensed to them or require significant additional capital investment by us, which we may not have the resources to fund. If any of our licensees do not perform their obligations under our agreements or if any of those agreements are terminated, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If competitive products of our competitors receive regulatory approval or reach the market earlier, are more effective, have fewer side effects, are more effectively marketed or cost less than our products or product candidates, our products or product candidates may not be approved, may not achieve the sales we anticipate and could be rendered noncompetitive or obsolete.

We believe that pharmaceutical, drug delivery and biotechnology companies, research organizations, governmental entities, universities, hospitals, other nonprofit organizations and individual scientists are seeking to develop drugs, therapies, products, approaches or methods to treat our targeted diseases or their underlying causes. For many of our targeted diseases, competitors have alternate therapies that are already commercialized or are in various stages of development, ranging from discovery to advanced clinical trials. For example, Lucentis has been approved to treat patients with DME in the U.S. and EU, and Bayer HealthCare and Regeneron have instituted Phase III studies of EYLEA, already approved in the U.S. and Australia to treat wet AMD, to treat DME. Any of these drugs, therapies, products, approaches or methods may receive government approval or gain market acceptance more rapidly than our products and product candidates, may offer therapeutic or cost advantages, or may more effectively treat our targeted diseases or their underlying causes, which could result in our product candidates not being approved, reduce demand for our products and product candidates or render them noncompetitive or obsolete.

Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing and personnel resources than we do. Our competitors may succeed in developing alternate technologies and products that, in comparison to the products we have and are seeking to develop:

 

are more effective and easier to use;

 

are more economical;

 

have fewer side effects;

 

offer other benefits; or

 

may otherwise render our products less competitive or obsolete.

Many of these competitors have greater experience in developing products, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances and manufacturing and marketing products than we do.

Our products and product candidates may not achieve and maintain market acceptance and may never generate significant revenues.

In both domestic and foreign markets, the commercial success of our products and product candidates will require not only obtaining regulatory approvals, but also obtaining market acceptance by retinal specialists and other doctors, patients, government health administration authorities and other third-party payors. Whether and to what extent our products and product candidates achieve and maintain market acceptance will depend on a number of factors, including demonstrated safety and efficacy, cost-effectiveness, potential advantages over other therapies, our and our collaborative partners’ marketing and distribution efforts and the reimbursement policies of government and other third-party payors. In particular, if government and other third-party payors do not recommend our products and product candidates, limit the indications for which they are recommended, or do not provide adequate and timely coverage and reimbursement levels for or recommend our products, and product candidates, the market acceptance of our products and product candidates will be limited. Both government and other third-party payors attempt to contain healthcare costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for products and, accordingly, they mightmay challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of our products, or refuse to provide coverage for our products. If our products and product candidates fail to achieve and maintain market acceptance, they may fail to generate significant revenues and our business may be significantly harmed.

Guidelines, recommendations and studies published by various organizations could reduce the use of our products and potential use of product candidates.

Government agencies, professional societies, practice management groups, private health and science foundations and organizations focused on various diseases may publish guidelines, recommendations or studies related tothat affect our or our competitors’ products and product candidates or our competitors’ products.candidates. Any such guidelines, recommendations or studies that reflect negatively on our products or product candidates, either directly or relative to our competitive products, could result in current or potential decreased use, sales of, and revenues from one or more of our products and product candidates. Furthermore, our success depends in part on our and our partners’ ability to educate healthcare providers and patients about our products and product candidates, and these education efforts could be rendered ineffective by, among other things, third-parties’ guidelines, recommendations or studies.

We rely heavily upon patents and trade secrets to protect our proprietary technologies. If we fail to protect our intellectual property or infringe on others’ technologies, our ability to develop and market our products and product candidates may be compromised.

Our success is dependent on whether we can obtain patents, defend our existing patents and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. As of August 31, 2013,2015, we had 212238 patents and 111116 pending

patent applications, including patents and pending applications covering our Durasert, BioSilicon (including Tethadur)Tethadur and other technologies. Intellectual property protection of our technologies is uncertain. We expect to seek to patent and protect our proprietary technologies. However, there is no assurance that any additional patents will be issued to us as a result of our pending or future patent applications or that any of our patents will withstand challenges by others. In addition, we may not have sufficient funds to patent and protect our proprietary technologies to the extent that we would desire, or at all. If we were determined to be infringing any third-party patent, we could be required to pay damages, alter our products or processes, obtain licenses, pay royalties or cease certain operations. We may not be able to obtain any required licenses on commercially favorable terms, if at all. In addition, many foreign country laws may treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from, and may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as, laws in the United StatesU.S. and Patent Co-operation Treaty countries.

Prior art may reduce the scope or protection of, or invalidate, our patents. Previously conducted research or published discoveries may prevent our patents from being granted, invalidate issued patents or narrow the scope of any protection obtained. Reduction in scope of protection or invalidation of our licensed or owned patents, or our inability to obtain patents, may enable other companies to develop products that compete with our products and product candidates on the basis of the same or similar technology. As a result, our patents and those of our licensors may not provide any, or sufficient, protection against competitors. While we have not been, and are not currently, involved in any litigation over intellectual property, such litigation may be necessary to enforce any patents issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of third party proprietary rights. We may also be sued by one or more third parties alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property litigation would be likely to result in substantial costs to us and diversion of our efforts, and could prevent or delay our discovery or development of product candidates. If our competitors claim technology also claimed by us, and if they prepare and file patent applications in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the appropriate foreign patent office to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial costcosts to us and diversion of our efforts. Any such litigation or interference proceedings, regardless of the outcome, could be expensive and time consuming. Litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, requiring disputed rights to be licensed from third parties and/or requiring us to cease using certain technologies.

We have entered into many agreements that limit our or the third parties’ rights with respect to our intellectual property, including rights to use, options on rights to use, or prohibitions on rights to use (including noncompetition obligations) our or jointly developed intellectual property. Those rights could adversely affect our rights to develop and commercialize products utilizing our intellectual property.

We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology that are not protected by patents to maintain our competitive position. We try to protect this information by entering into confidentiality agreements with parties that have access to it, such as our corporate partners, collaborators, employees, and consultants. Any of these

parties could breach these agreements and disclose our confidential information, or our competitors may learn of the information in some other way. If any material trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position could be materially harmed.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS, INDUSTRY, STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS

If we fail to retain key personnel, our business could suffer.

We are dependent upon the principal members of our management and scientific staff. In addition, we believe that our future success in developing and marketing our products and achieving a competitive position maywill depend on whether we can attract and retain additional qualified management and scientific personnel.personnel as well as a sales and marketing staff. There is strong competition for management and scientificqualified personnel within the industry in which we operate, and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. As we have a small number of employees and we believe our products are

unique and highly specialized, the loss of the services of one or more of the principal members of our management or scientific staff, or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel and develop expertise as needed, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

If we are subject to product liability suits, we may not have sufficient insurance to cover damages.

The testing, manufacturing, and marketing and sale of the products utilizing our technologies involve risks that product liability claims may be asserted against us and/or our licensees. Our current clinical trial and product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover damages resulting from product liability claims. Regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims could require us to spend significant time, money and other resources to defend such claims, could result in decreased demand for our products and product candidates, or result in reputational harm, and could result in the payment of a significant damage award. Our product liability insurance coverage is subject to deductibles and coverage limitations and may not be adequate in scope to protect us in the event of a successful product liability claim. Further, we may not be able to acquire sufficient clinical trial or product liability insurance in the future on reasonable commercial terms, if at all.

Consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may adversely affect us.

There has been consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Consolidation could result in the remaining companies having greater financial resources and technological capabilities, thus intensifying competition, and fewer potential collaboration partners or licensees for our product candidates. In addition, if a consolidating company is already doing business with any of our competitors, we could lose existing or potential future licensees or collaboration partners as a result of such consolidation.

If we or our licensees fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, our or their ability to manufacture and commercialize products may be adversely affected.

Medical and biopharmaceutical research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials, such as radioactive compounds and chemical solvents. We and our licensees are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials and waste products. We and they could be subject to both criminal liability and civil damages in the event of an improper or unauthorized release of, or exposure of individuals to, hazardous materials. In addition, claimants may sue us or them for resulting injury or contamination, and the liability may exceed our or their ability to pay. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair the research, development or production efforts of our company or our licensees and harm our operating results.

If we or our licensees encounter problems with product manufacturing, there could be delays in product development or commercialization, which would adversely affect our future profitability.

Our ability and that of our licensees to conduct timely pre-clinical and clinical research and development programs, obtain regulatory approvals, and develop and commercialize our product candidates will depend, in part, upon our and our licensees’ ability to manufacture our products and product candidates, either directly or through third parties, in accordance with FDA and other regulatory requirements. The manufacture, packaging and testing of our products and product candidates are regulated by the FDA and similar foreign regulatory entities and must be conducted in accordance with applicable cGMP and comparable foreign requirements. Any change in a manufacturing process or procedure used for one of our products or product candidates, including a change in the location at which a product or product candidate is being manufactured or in the third-party manufacturer being used, may require the FDA’s and similar foreign regulatory entities’ prior review and/or approval in accordance with applicable cGMP or other regulations. Additionally, the FDA and similar foreign regulatory entities may implement new standards, or change their interpretation and enforcement of existing standards, for the manufacture, packaging and testing of products at any time.

There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under cGMP and other foreign regulations that are both capable of manufacturing our products and product candidates and are willing to do so. Alimera has contracted

with individual third-party manufacturers with respect tofor the manufacture of componentsILUVIEN and its components. If any of ILUVIEN. Alimera’s third-party manufacturers breach their agreements or are unable or unwilling to perform for any reason or fail to comply with cGMP and comparable foreign requirements, Alimera may not be able to locate alternative acceptable manufacturers, enter into favorable agreements with them or get them approved by the applicable regulatory authorities in a timely manner. Delays in the commercial production of ILUVIEN could delay or impair Alimera’s marketing of ILUVIEN, which, in turn, could adversely affect Alimera’s generation of net profits for us.

Failure by us, our collaborative partners, or our or their third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable manufacturing requirements could result in sanctions being imposed on us or our collaborative partners, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval of our product candidates, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions. In addition, we or our collaborative partners may not be able to manufacture our product candidates successfully or have a third party manufacture them in a cost-effective manner. If we or our collaborative partners are unable to develop our own manufacturing facilities or to obtain or retain third-party manufacturing on acceptable terms, we may not be able to conduct certain future pre-clinical and clinical testing or to supply commercial quantities of our products.

We manufacture supplies in connection with pre-clinical or clinical studies conducted by us orand our licensees. Our licensees have the exclusive rights to manufacture commercial quantities of products, once approved for marketing. Our and our licensees’ reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks, including:

 

failure of third parties to comply with cGMP and other applicable U.S. and foreign regulations and to employ adequate quality assurance practices;

 

inability to obtain the materials necessary to produce a product or to formulate the active pharmaceutical ingredient on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;

 

supply disruption, deterioration in product quality or breach of a manufacturing or license agreement by the third party because of factors beyond our or our licensees’ control;

 

termination or non-renewal of a manufacturing or licensing agreement with a third party at a time that is costly or difficult; and

 

inability to identify or qualify an alternative manufacturer in a timely manner, even if contractually permitted to do so.

Problems associated with international business operations could affect our or our licensees’ ability to manufacture and sell our products. If we encounter such problems, our or their costs could increase and our development of products could be delayed.

We currently maintain offices and research and development facilities in the U.S. and the U.K., and our goal is to develop products for sale by us and our licensees in most major world healthcare markets. Manufacturing of pharmaceutical products requires us or our licensees to comply with regulations regarding safety and quality and

to obtain country and jurisdiction-specific regulatory approvals and clearances. We or our licensees may not be able to comply with such regulations or to obtain or maintain needed regulatory approvals and clearances, or may be required to incur significant costs in doing so. In addition, our operations and future revenues may be subject to a number of risks associated with foreign commerce, including the following:

 

staffing and managing foreign operations;

 

political and economic instability;

 

foreign currency exchange fluctuations;

 

foreign tax laws, tariffs and freight rates and charges;

 

timing and availability of export licenses;

inadequate protection of intellectual property rights in some countries; and

 

obtaining required government approvals.

Legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

Our industry is highly regulated and new laws, regulations and judicial decisions, and new interpretations of existing laws, regulations and judicial decisions, may adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.

U.S. federal and state governments continue to propose and pass legislation designed to reduce the cost of healthcare. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (PPACA), represents one of the most significant healthcare reform measures in decades. The PPACA is intended to expand U.S. healthcare coverage primarily through the imposition of health insurance mandates on employers and individuals and expansion of the Medicaid program. Several provisions of the PPACA could significantly reduce payments from Medicare and Medicaid for our products and any product candidates whichthat obtain marketing approval overin the next 10 years.future. Federal and state legislatures within the U.S. and foreign governments will likely continue to consider changes in existing healthcare legislation. We cannot predict the reform initiatives that may be adopted in the future or whether initiatives that have been adopted will be repealed or modified. The PPACA’s effects cannot be fully known until its provisions are implemented, andcontinuing efforts of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services,government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other federal and state agencies, issue applicable regulationspayors of healthcare services to contain or guidance. Proposed U.S. statereduce costs of healthcare reforms, andmay adversely affect the demand for any foreign healthcare reforms, also could alter the availability, methods and rates of reimbursements from the government and other third-party payorsproducts for which we or our licensees may obtain regulatory approval; our or our licensees’ ability to set a price that we or they believe is fair for our productsproducts; our or our licensees’ ability to obtain coverage and reimbursement approval for a product; our or our licensees’ ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability; or the level of taxes that we are required to pay.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since PPACA. The Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 includes provisions to reduce the federal deficit. The BCA, as amended, resulted in the imposition of 2% reductions in Medicare payments to providers beginning in 2013. More recent legislation extends reductions through 2024. Any significant spending reductions affecting Medicare, Medicaid or other publicly funded or subsidized health programs that may be implemented, and/or any significant taxes or fees that may be imposed on us, as part of any broader deficit reduction effort or legislative replacement to the BCA, could have an adverse impact on our anticipated product candidates which obtain approval, and could adversely affect our business strategy, operations and financial results.revenues.

The FDAAA granted the FDA enhanced authority over products already approved for sale, including authority to require post-marketing studies and clinical trials, labeling changes based on new safety information and compliance with risk evaluations and mitigation strategies approved by the FDA. The FDA’s exercise of this relatively new authority could result in delays and increased costs during product development, clinical trials and regulatory review and approval, increased costs following regulatory approval to assure compliance with new post-approval regulatory requirements, and potential restrictions on the sale or distribution of approved products following regulatory approval.

Changes in the regulatory approval policy during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional regulations or statutes, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. For example, the July 9, 2012 reauthorization of the PDUFA extended by two months the period in which the FDA is expected to review and approve certain NDAs. Although the FDA has recently stated that it expects to meet PDUFA’s updated timing goals, it has in the past provided its managers discretion to miss them due to heightened agency workload or understaffing in the review divisions. Accordingly, it remains unclear whether and to what extent the FDA will adhere to PDUFA timing goals in the future, which could delay approval and commercialization of our product candidates.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

The price of our common stock may be volatile.

The price of our common stock (including common stock represented by CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs)) may be affected by developments directly affecting our business, as well as by developments out of our control or not specific to us. The price of our common stock dropped significantly when the FDA issued its 2011 CRL with respect to ILUVIEN for DME. The biotechnology sector, in particular, and the stock market generally are vulnerable to abrupt changes in investor sentiment. Prices of securities and trading volumevolumes of companies in the biotechnology industry, including ours, can swing dramatically in ways unrelated to, or that bear a disproportionate relationship to, our performance. The price of our common stock (and CDIs) and their trading volumes may fluctuate based on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

 

clinical trials and their results, and other product and technological developments and innovations;

 

FDA and other domestic and international governmental regulatory actions, receipt and timing of approvals of our product candidates, and any denials and withdrawal of approvals;

 

competitive factors, including the commercialization of new products in our markets by our competitors;

 

advancements with respect to treatment of the diseases targeted by our product candidates;

 

developments relating to, and actions by, our collaborative partners, including execution, amendment and termination of agreements, achievement of milestones and receipt of payments;

 

the success of our collaborative partners in marketing any approved products and the amount and timing of payments to us;

 

availability and cost of capital and our financial and operating results;

 

actions with respect to pricing, reimbursement and coverage, and changes in reimbursement policies or other practices relating to our products or the pharmaceutical industry generally;

 

meeting, exceeding or failing to meet analysts’ or investors’ expectations, and changes in evaluations and recommendations by securities analysts;

 

economic, industry and market conditions, changes or trends; and

 

other factors unrelated to us or the biotechnology industry.

In addition, low trading volume in our common stock or our CDIs may increase their price volatility. Holders of our common stock and CDIs may not be able to liquidate their positions at the desired time or price. Finally, we will need to continue to meet the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market, including the minimum stock price, and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), for our stock and CDIs to continue to be traded on those exchanges, respectively.

If the holders of our outstanding warrants and stock options exercise their warrants and options, ownership of our common stock holders may be diluted, and our stock price may decline.

As of August 31, 2013,2015, we had outstanding warrants and options to acquire approximately 5.16.1 million shares of our common stock, or approximately 16.1%17.1% of our shares on a fully diluted basis. The issuance of shares of our common stock upon exercise of these warrants and stock options could result in dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock and could adversely affect our stock price. The overhang of outstanding warrants and options may adversely affect our stock price.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the price of our common stock.

At the present time, we intend to use available funds to finance our operations. Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the discretion of our board of directors, no cash dividends on our common shares have been declared or paid by us and we have no intention of paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations and related to future events and our future financial performance, that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of many important factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

We develop tiny,are a leader in the development of sustained-release drug-delivery products designed tofor treating eye diseases. Our products deliver drugs and biologics at a controlled and steady rate for weeks, months or years. Utilizing our core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™, we are focused on treatment of chronic diseases of the back of the eye and are also exploring applications outside ophthalmology. We have developed three of theonly four sustained-release products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of retinal diseases currently approvedback-of-the-eye diseases. The most recent is ILUVIEN® for diabetic macular edema (DME), sold by our licensee in the U.S. orand three European Union (EU), and our countries. Our lead development product, candidate began a PhaseMedidur™ for posterior uveitis, is in pivotal phase III clinical trial in June 2013.trials. Our strategy includespre-clinical development program is primarily focused on developing products independently while continuing to leveragefor chronic ophthalmic diseases utilizing our core technology platforms through collaboration and license agreements.platforms.

ILUVIEN®, our most recently approved product, is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert that provides treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies overDME for three years from a period of up to three years.single administration. ILUVIEN is licensed to and sold by Alimera Sciences, Inc. (Alimera), and we are entitled to a share of the net profits as(as defined in our agreement with Alimera) from Alimera’s sales of ILUVIEN. ILUVIEN was launched in late February 2015 in the U.S., where it is indicated for DME. Alimera commenced the commercial launchtreatment of ILUVIEN for DME in patients previously treated with a course of corticosteroids without a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. ILUVIEN has been commercially available in the U.K.United Kingdom (U.K.) and Germany in the second quarter ofsince June 2013 and expects to launch in FrancePortugal since January 2015. ILUVIEN has marketing approvals in the first quarter of 2014. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that approximately 19.0 million people have diabetes in the seventhese and 14 other EU countries where ILUVIEN has received or been recommended for marketing authorization,the treatment of whichchronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. Alimera has estimated that approximately 1.1 million people suffer from vision loss associated with DME. Alimera is also seeking marketing approvalsublicensed distribution, regulatory and reimbursement matters for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. In the second quarter of 2013, Alimera received a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of October 17, 2013 after resubmitting itsAustralia and New Drug Application (NDA) for ILUVIEN for DME. The resubmission responded to a second Complete Response Letter (CRL) received from the U.S. FoodZealand in April 2014, in Canada in July 2015 and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2011.Italy in August 2015.

Medidur™,Medidur, our lead development product, commenced the first of our two planned Phase III clinical trials for the treatment ofis an injectable, micro-insert designed to treat chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (posterior uveitis) in June 2013.for three years from a single administration. Medidur, useswhich is the same Durasert micro-insert usedas ILUVIEN, is in ILUVIEN and deliversPhase III clinical trials, with the filing of a lower dosenew drug application (NDA) anticipated in the first half of the same drug as our2017. We are developing Medidur independently.

Our FDA-approved Retisert® for posterior uveitis, which is licensed to Bausch & Lomb. We are developing Medidur independently.

We are also developing a bioerodible, injectable micro-insert delivering latanoprost (the Latanoprost Product) to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Under an amended collaboration agreement, Pfizer has an option, under certain circumstances, to license the development and commercialization of the Latanoprost Product worldwide.

We are engaged in pre-clinical research with respect to both our BioSilicon and Durasert technology platforms. The primary focus of our BioSilicon technology research is the sustained delivery of peptides, proteins, antibodies and other large biologic molecules using our Tethadur™ technology in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic applications. Our research program also includes the use of Durasert technology in orthopedic applications and for systemic delivery of therapeutic agents.

Our FDA-approvedRetisert provides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and a half years andyears. It is licensed to and sold by Bausch & Lomb.Lomb, and we receive royalties from its sales.

Our pre-clinical development program is focused on developing products using our core platform technologies, Durasert™ and Tethadur™, to deliver drugs or biologics to treat wet and dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, osteoarthritis and other diseases.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

OurThe discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base

our estimates on historical experience, anticipated results and trends and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. By their nature, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and management evaluates them on an ongoing basis for changes in facts and circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

Our business strategy includes entering into collaborative license and development agreements for the development and commercialization of product candidates utilizing our technology systems. The terms of these arrangements typically include multiple deliverables by us (for example,(such as granting of license rights, providing research and development services, and manufacturing of clinical materials and participating on joint research committees) in exchange for consideration to us of some combination of one or more of non-refundable license fees, funding of research and development activities, payments based upon achievement of clinical development, regulatory and sales milestones, and royalties in the form of a designated percentage of product sales or participation in profits.

Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customercollaborative partner and based on the selling price of the deliverables. When deliverables are separable, consideration received is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on the relative selling price method using management’s best estimate of the elements andstandalone selling price of deliverables when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available. Allocated consideration is recognized as revenue upon application of the appropriate revenue recognition principles are applied to each unit.

The assessment of multiple deliverable arrangements requires judgment in order to determine the appropriate units of accounting, the estimated selling price of each unit of accounting, and the points in time that, or periods over which, revenue should be recognized.

For the year ended June 30, 2013,2015, we reported $780,000$25.4 million of collaborative research and development revenue. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

We prospectively adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) for new and materially modified arrangements originating on or after July 1, 2010. ASU 2009-13 requires a vendor to allocate revenue to each unit of accounting in arrangements involving multiple deliverables. It changes the level of evidence of standalone selling price required to separate deliverables by allowing a vendor to make its best estimate of the standalone selling price of deliverables when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available.

As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, adoption of this accounting pronouncement in fiscal 2011 resulted in the recognition of revenue in connection with our 2007 Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer that became subject to the new accounting pronouncement after a material modification to the agreement occurred. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, deferred revenues associated with this Pfizer agreement will be recognized as revenues earlier than would otherwise have occurred.

We concluded that our deliverables under the Restated Pfizer Agreement are conducting the research and development program for the Latanoprost Product through completion of Phase II clinical trials (the “R&D program”) and participation on a Joint Steering Committee (JSC)(“JSC”). We treat these as a single deliverable, having concluded that the JSC does not have standalone value separate from the R&D program. We concluded that the Pfizer exercise option for the worldwide exclusive license is not a deliverable of the arrangement, due to it being a substantive option and not being priced at a significant and incremental discount.

The total arrangement consideration of the Restated Pfizer Agreement totaled $10.05 million, which consisted of the $7.75 million of deferred revenue on our balance sheet at the effective date plus the $2.3 million upfront payment. The difference between the total arrangement consideration and the estimated selling price of the combined deliverables, or $3.3 million, was recognized as collaborative research and development revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the period of the modification. The remaining balance is being recognized as revenue using the proportional performance method over the estimated period of our performance obligations under the R&D program.

To determine the estimated selling price of the combined deliverable, we applied an estimated margin to our cost projections for the combined deliverable. A change in the estimated margin or our cost projections would have directly impacted the amount of revenue recognized during fiscal 2011. An increase of 10% in our estimated selling price of the combined deliverables would have reduced revenue recognized in fiscal 2011 by $670,000 and would have increased the amount of deferred revenue recognized in each of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 by 10%, or $75,000 and $37,000, respectively. Application of the proportional performance method in any fiscal period would result in an increase or decrease in revenue recognized to the extent that the aggregate projected costs to conduct the R&D program decreases or increases, respectively, compared to the previous period.

ValuationRecognition of Intangible Assets

At December 31, 2011, we recorded a $11.7 million impairment of our BioSilicon intangible and a $3.1 million impairment of our Durasert intangible. The combination of the 2011 CRL and the subsequent significant declineExpense in the Company’s market capitalization were determined to be impairment indicators of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets. To assess the recoverability of the these assets (which had a carrying value of $19.4 million at December 31, 2011), we used both market-based and income-based valuation methodologies, and allocated the resulting fair value of the combined intangible assets to the individual assets based on values determined under the income-based approach.Outsourced Clinical Trial Agreements

We amortize our intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives, which currently extend through calendar year 2017 and is expected to result in a charge to operations of approximately $760,000 per year. We believe that the carrying value of our intangible assets will be recouped primarily through expected net cash flows from our existing or future collaboration agreements or through our own product development and commercialization.

We will continue to review our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the asset carrying values may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of assets are no longer appropriate. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include the following:

Change relative to historical or projected future operating results,

Modification or termination of our existing collaboration agreements,

Factors affecting the development of products utilizing the intangible assets,

Changes in the expected use of the intangible assets or the strategy for the overall business, and

Industry or economic trends and developments.

If an impairment trigger is identified, we determine recoverability of an intangible asset by comparing projected undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, and the carrying value is adjusted. Estimated future undiscounted cash flows, which relate to existing contractual agreements as well as projected cash flows from futurerecognize research and development collaboration agreements utilizing the underlying technology systems, require management’s judgment regarding future events and probabilities. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Future adverse changes or other unforeseeable factors could result in an impairment chargeexpense with respect to some or alloutsourced agreements for clinical trials with contract research organizations (“CROs”) as the services are provided, based on our assessment of the carrying valueservices performed. We make our assessments of the services performed based on various factors, including evaluation by the third-party CROs and our own internal review of the work performed during the period, measurements of progress by us or by the third-party CROs, data analysis with respect to work completed and our management’s judgment. We have agreements with two CROs to conduct the Phase III clinical trial program for Medidur for posterior uveitis. Our financial obligations under the agreements are determined by the services that we request from time to time under the agreements. The actual amounts owed under the agreements and the timing of those obligations will depend on various factors, including changes to the protocols and/or services requested, the number of patients to be enrolled and the rate of patient enrollment, achievement of pre-defined direct cost milestone events and other factors relating to the clinical trials. As of June 30, 2015, our CRO agreements provided for two Phase III clinical trials and a utilization study of our intangible assets. Suchproprietary inserter at an impairment charge could materially impact future resultsaggregate remaining cost of operationsapproximately $16.4 million. We can terminate the agreements at any time without penalty, and financial positionif terminated, we would be liable only for services through the termination date plus non-cancellable CRO obligations to third parties.

During fiscal 2015, we recognized approximately $6.1 million of research and development expense attributable to our Medidur Phase III clinical trial program. Changes in our estimates or differences between the reporting period identified.

A significant change in the estimationactual level of the projected undiscounted net cash flows for the productsservices performed and product candidates utilizing the Durasert or BioSilicon technology systems, among other things, couldour estimates may result in the further impairment of the carrying value of the respective assets.changes to our research and development expenses in future periods.

Revenues

We recognized total revenue of $2.1 million for fiscal 2013 as compared to $3.5 million for fiscal 2012.

Collaborative research and development revenue declined to $780,000 in fiscal 2013, a 63% decrease from $2.1totaled $25.4 million in fiscal 2012, primarily due2015 compared to non-recurring revenue of $1.1$2.2 million in fiscal 2012, which2014. This increase was recognized upon the termination of a field-of-use license. Approximately half of our collaborative research and

development revenue wasprimarily attributable to recognition of deferred revenuethe one-time $25.0 million FDA approval milestone earned for ILUVIEN, partially offset by a $1.8 million reduction in revenues from collaboration agreements in fiscal 2013 compared to substantially all in the prior year. $738,000 of the remaining deferred revenue balance of $6.0 million at June 30, 2013 is expected to be recognized as revenue during fiscal 2014.funded technology evaluation agreements.

Our Retisert royalty income decreased by $164,000, or 12%, to $1.2 million in fiscal 2013 increased2015 compared to $1.4$1.3 million a 3.6% increase over the prior year. Substantially all of the royalty income in both years was derived from sales of Retisert by Bausch & Lomb. During fiscal 2013, Bausch & Lomb discontinued sales of Vitrasert.2014. We do not expect Retisert royalty income to increase significantly in the future,next fiscal year, and it may decline.decline further.

We are entitled to share in net profits, on a country-by-country basis, from sales of ILUVIEN by Alimera. Alimera initiated commercial sales of ILUVIEN in the U.K. and Germany in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and in the U.S. and Portugal in the third quarter of fiscal 2015. We received $43,000 of ILUVIEN net profits during fiscal 2015 and none in fiscal 2014. We do not know when and if we will receive future net profit payments with respect to any country where Alimera sells ILUVIEN or payments with respect to countries where Alimera sublicenses the sale of ILUVIEN.

Research and Development

Research and development totaled $7.0 million in each of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Periodic amortization of intangible assets decreased by $1.3$12.1 million in fiscal 20132015, an increase of $2.5 million, or 26%, compared to fiscal 2012, which resulted from a $14.8$9.6 million intangible asset impairment write-down at December 31, 2011. This decrease was substantially offset in fiscal 2013 by approximately $700,000 of initial2014. This increase was primarily attributable to a $2.0 million increase in CRO costs incurred for the first of two planned pivotalMedidur Phase III clinical trialsdevelopment program and $240,000 of personnel related costs, including stock-based compensation. We currently expect costs of our ongoing Medidur for posterior uveitis, which commenced in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and an approximateclinical development program to increase by approximately $600,000, increase in personnel costs, which consisted primarily of additional headcount and cash incentive compensation accruals. We expect to significantly increase our research and development expense inor 10%, during fiscal 2014 in connection with patient enrollment for the Phase III clinical trial of Medidur.2016 over fiscal 2015.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs increased by $301,000,$588,000, or 8%, to $8.1 million for fiscal 2015 from $7.5 million for fiscal 2014, primarily attributable to a $530,000 increase in professional fees and a $390,000 increase in stock-based compensation.

Other Income

Other income totaled $22,000 in fiscal 2015 compared to $5,000 in fiscal 2014, primarily due to interest income on higher average balances of marketable securities investments.

Income tax expense of $96,000 in fiscal 2015 compared to an income tax benefit of $130,000 in fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2015, we paid $263,000 of federal alternative minimum taxes based upon U.S. taxable income for calendar year 2014, which was primarily attributable to the $25.0 million ILUVIEN FDA-approval milestone. Refundable foreign research and development tax credits totaled $167,000 in fiscal 2015 compared to $130,000 in fiscal 2014.

Revenues

Collaborative research and development revenue increased to $2.2 million in fiscal 2014, a 176% increase from $780,000 in fiscal 2013, primarily due to recognition of $1.5 million of arrangement consideration upon resolution of a contingency associated with completion of a feasibility study agreement.

Royalty income, predominantly related to Retisert, decreased by $45,000, or 3%, to $1.3 million in fiscal 2014 compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2013.

Research and Development

Research and development totaled $9.6 million in fiscal 2014, an increase of $2.6 million, or 37%, compared to $7.0 million in fiscal 2013. A $3.3 million increase in CRO costs for the first Medidur Phase III clinical trial was partially offset by a $665,000 decrease in personnel costs, including stock-based compensation.

General and Administrative

General and administrative increased by $300,000, or 4%, to $7.5 million for fiscal 2014 from $7.2 million for fiscal 2013, from $6.9 million for fiscal 2012, primarily attributable to $630,000 of cash incentiveincreased stock-based compensation accruals, which compared to zero in the prior year. This was partially offset by an approximate $430,000 decrease inand professional fees.

Other Income

Other income decreased by $193,000, or 93%,totaled $5,000 in fiscal 2014 compared to $14,000 forin fiscal 2013 from $207,000 for fiscal 2012. Other income for fiscal 2012 consisted primarily of the change in fair value of derivatives of $170,000. This income, which reduced the derivative liability balancedue to zero, was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and resulted from the July 2012 expiration of the remaining warrants denominated in Australian dollars (A$), which were recorded as derivative liabilities at issuance and revalued at subsequent period reporting dates. Interest income, net, decreased by $23,000 from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013 as a result of lower levelsaverage balances of marketable securities investments and further decreases in yields for investment grade corporate bonds and commercial paper of short maturities.investments.

Income Tax Benefit

Revenues

We recognized total revenue of $3.5 million for fiscal 2012 as compared to $5.0 million for fiscal 2011. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in collaborative research and development revenue, partially offset by a $93,000 increase in royalty income.

We restated the Pfizer Agreement in fiscal 2011, for which we received $2.3 million in upfront consideration, resulting in an aggregate $10.0 million balance of deferred revenue associated with that agreement. In fiscal 2011, we recognized $3.3 million of deferred revenue from that agreement, and the remainder is being recognized as revenue using the proportional performance method over the estimated period of our performance obligations under the Latanoprost Product research program.

Collaborative research and development revenue for fiscal 2012 of $2.1 million consisted primarily of deferred revenue recognition of $754,000 related to the Restated Pfizer Agreement and $1.1 million resulting from the termination of a field-of-use license. This compares to $3.6 million of collaborative research and development revenue for fiscal 2011, which was predominantly associated with the Restated Pfizer Agreement.

Substantially all of our royalty income in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 was from sales of Retisert. Our total royalty income increased by $92,000, or 6.8%, in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011, and approximated $1.4 million in each year. Our remaining royalty income was from Vitrasert sales.

Research and Development

Research and development increased by $175,000, or 3%, to $7.0 million for fiscal 2012 from $6.9 million for fiscal 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs and the absence in fiscal 2012 of a federal therapeutic discovery grant received in fiscal 2011, substantially offset by decreased amortization of intangible assets in fiscal 2012 resulting from a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment write-down at December 31, 2011.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 15%, to $6.9 million for fiscal 2012 from $8.1 million for fiscal 2011, primarily attributable to decreased stock-based compensation (including performance stock option forfeitures), professional fees and the absence in fiscal 2012 of cash incentive compensation, payment of which was subject to future conditions.

Change in Fair Value of Derivatives

Change in fair value of derivatives represented income of $170,000 for fiscal 2012 compared to income of $1.1 million for fiscal 2011. Warrants denominated in A$ were recorded as derivative liabilities, subject to revaluation at subsequent reporting dates. Fiscal 2011 income from the change in fair value of derivatives was predominantly due to the expiration of approximately 3.7 million, or 95%, of the A$-denominated warrants during that year. The derivative liabilities balance was reduced to zero during fiscal 2012 in connection with the July 2012 expiration of our last remaining A$-denominated warrants, with the result that we will not recognize income or loss relating to the change in the fair value of derivatives from these warrants in the future.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit decreased by $49,000, or 22%, to $169,000 in fiscal 2012 from $218,000 in fiscal 2011, primarily attributable to the absence in fiscal 2012 of a net reduction of deferred tax liabilities and federal alternative minimum tax expense in fiscal 2011, partially offset by higher foreign research and development tax credits.2013.

Inflation and Seasonality

Our management believes inflation has not had a material impact on our operations or financial condition and that our operations are not currently subject to seasonal influences.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements are issued periodically by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise disclosed below, we believe that the impact of recently issued and adopted pronouncements will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows or do not apply to our operations.

In June 2011,May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2011-52015-14, which officially deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, while also permitting early adoption. As a result, ASU 2014-09 will become effective on July 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted on July 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are evaluating the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income,Financial Statements—Going Concernwhich. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new guidance onstandard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the presentationpotential impact of comprehensive income. This guidance requires a company to present components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income (loss) or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. The Company adoptedadopting this standard for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and has presented the required information in one continuous statement of operations and comprehensive loss on a comparative basis. Other than a change in presentation, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During fiscal 20112012 through fiscal 2013,2015, we financed our operations primarily from registered direct offeringsthe receipt of license fees, milestone payments, research and develop funding and royalty income from our collaboration partners, and from proceeds of sales of our equity securities in January 2011 and August 2012, as well as operating cash flows from license fees and research and development funding from collaborations.securities. At June 30, 2013,2015, our principal sourcesources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $10.3 million. In July 2013, we

enhanced our cash resources through the sale, in an underwritten public offering, of 3,494,550 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $9.9$28.5 million. Our cash equivalents are invested in an institutional money market funds,fund, and our marketable securities are invested in investment-grade corporate debt and commercial paper with maturities at June 30, 20132015 ranging from one0.5 to seven8.5 months.

With the exception of net income in fiscal 20102015 resulting from a non-recurring event,the $25.0 million ILUVIEN FDA approval milestone, we have generally incurred operating losses since inception and, at June 30, 2013,2015, we had a total accumulated deficit of $263.7$270.7 million. We do not currently have any assured sources of future revenue and we generally expect negative cash flows from operations on a quarterly basis unless and until such time as we receive sufficient revenues from ILUVIEN for DME or one or more of our other product candidates achieve regulatory approval and provide us sufficient revenues. We believe that our capital resources of $10.3$28.5 million at June 30, 2013,2015, together with the $9.9 million of net proceeds from our July 2013 share offering, expected Retisert royalty income and other expected cash inflows under existing collaboration and evaluation agreements, will enable us to fund our operations as currently planned throughinto early calendar year 2014.2017. This includes expected costs through that date of Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis, but does not includeestimate excludes any potential milestone or net profit

profits receipts under theour Alimera collaboration agreement. Our capital resources would be enhanced if Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and if ILUVIEN for DME were approved and successfully commercialized in the U.S., although even so,ability to fund our planned operations beyond then, including completion of clinical development of Medidur, is expected to depend on the amount and timing of cash receipts from ILUVIEN net profits participation, as well as proceeds from any such receiptsfuture collaboration or other agreements and/or financing transactions. There is uncertain.no assurance that we will receive significant, if any, revenues from future sales of ILUVIEN or cash from any other sources. Accordingly, we expect to need additional resources to fund our planned Phase III trials for Medidur for posterior uveitis, as well as other research and development and operations. Whether we will require, or desire, to raise additional capital will be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

whether, when and to what extent we receive revenues from Alimera with respect to ILUVIEN for DME, including from commercialization in the EU or upon any approval or commercialization in the U.S.;of ILUVIEN;

 

the timing and cost of development, approval and marketing of Medidur for posterior uveitis;

whether and to what extent we internally fund, whether and when we initiate, and how we conduct other product development programs;

the amount of Retisert royalties and other payments we receive under collaboration agreements;

 

whether and when we initiate Phase II clinical trials for the Latanoprost Product and whether and when Pfizer exercises its option;

whether and the extent to which we internally fund, when we initiate, and how we conduct product development and programs, including with respect to BioSilicon and Tethadur applications;

 

whether and when we are able to enter into strategic arrangements for productsour product candidates and the nature of those arrangements;

 

timely and successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our products and product candidates;

 

the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing any patent claims; and

 

changes in our operating plan, resulting in increases or decreases in our need for capital; and

our views on the availability, timing and desirability of raising capital.

Absent adequate levels of funding from existing and potential future collaboration or other agreements and/or financing transactions, managementManagement currently believes that extending our cash position beyond early calendar year 20142017 from operations depends significantly on possible revenuescash flows from the successful commercialization by Alimera of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and, if approved by the FDA, in the U.S.Alimera. However, there is no assurance that the FDA or other additional regulatory authorities will approve ILUVIEN for DME that it will achieve market acceptance in any marketthe U.S. or the EU or that we will receive significant, if any, revenues from ILUVIEN for DME. Exercise by Pfizer of its option for the Latanoprost Product would also enhance our cash position, although there is no assurance when the option will become exercisable or if Pfizer will exercise it.

If we determine that it is desirable or necessary to raise additional capital in the future, we do not know if it will be available when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. Although we may be able to sell common shares under our existing ATM facility, we do not know whether and to what extent we will seek to do so and, if we are able to do so, on what terms. The state of the economy and the financial and credit markets at the time or times we seek additional financing may make it more difficult and more

expensive to obtain. If available, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and potential dilutive equity, and funding through collaboration agreements may be on unfavorable terms, including requiring us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products. If adequate financing is not available if and when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development programs, postpone or cancel the pursuit of product candidates, including pre-clinical and clinical trials and new business opportunities, reduce staff and operating costs, or otherwise significantly curtail our operations to reduce our cash requirements and extend our capital.

Operating cash inflows for each year consisted primarily of payments received pursuant to license and collaboration agreements. As a percentage of total license and collaboration cash inflows, amounts attributable to PfizerAlimera represented 92.2%99.3% in fiscal 2011, amounts attributable to Alimera represented2015, 5.8% in fiscal 2014 and 8.4% in fiscal 2013, 57.2% in fiscal 2012 and 5.3% in fiscal 2011, amounts attributable to Enigma represented 0.4% in fiscal 2015, 6.9% in fiscal 2014 and 11.7% in fiscal 2013 and amounts attributable to various technology evaluationfeasibility study agreements represented 0.2% in fiscal 2015, 86.6% in fiscal 2014 and 73.2% in fiscal 2013 and 26.7% in fiscal 2012.2013.

Operating cash outflows increased by $513,000,$2.2 million, or 4.7%15.3%, from fiscal 20122014 to fiscal 2013,2015, primarily as a result of $1.6increases of (a) $2.1 million in Medidur clinical development; (b) $263,000 of payments with respectfederal alternative minimum taxes attributable to the first Phase III trial of Medidur for posterior uveitis,calendar year 2014 U.S. taxable income; and (c) a $370,000 increase in professional fees, partially offset by the absencedecreases of $255,000 in fiscal 2013 of approximately $600,000 of fiscal 2011 cash incentive compensation paidawards and $230,000 in fiscal 2012 and an approximate $600,000 decrease in professional fees.facility costs. Operating cash outflows increased by $1.3$2.7 million, or 13.0%23.7%, from fiscal 20112013 to fiscal 2012,2014, primarily as a result of: (a) an increase of increased$1.4 million for Medidur clinical development; (b) $1.1 million of incentive compensation, which included awards for fiscal 2013 and awards for fiscal 2012 that were conditioned on events occurring in fiscal 2013; and (c) an increase of $205,000 of professional fees, partially offset by a $300,000 reduction of other personnel costs and professional fees.costs.

Cash flows from investing activities were primarily attributable to purchases of marketable securities, net of maturities, of $6.6 million for fiscal 2015 and salesmaturities of marketable securities, net of purchases, of $386,000 for fiscal 2014 and $6.4 million for fiscal 2013 and $1.0 million for fiscal 2012, and to purchases of marketable securities, net of maturities, totaling $9.4 million for fiscal 2011.2013.

Cash flows from financing activities in fiscal 20122014 were primarily attributable to an underwritten public offering in July 2013, a registered direct offering in March 2014 and $133,000sale of shares pursuant to an ATM facility consummated in fiscal 2011.

December 2013, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $19.3 million, net of $1.2 million of share issue costs.

We can change the services requested and thereby increase or decrease our obligations under the agreements from time to time. As of June 30, 2015, our CRO agreements provided for two Phase III clinical trials and a utilization study of the clinical trial.newly designed proprietary inserter at an aggregate remaining cost of approximately $16.4 million. We can terminate the agreementagreements at any time and if terminated, we would not be liable for the full amount of the contract, but rather for services through the termination date plus non-cancellable CRO obligations to third parties.without penalty.

We also have employment agreements with our three executive officers that would require us to make severance payments to them if we terminate their employment without cause or the executives resign for good cause. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of various future events, and the amounts payable under these provisions depend upon the level of compensation at the time of termination of employment, are therefore not calculable at this time, and, as a result, we have not included any such amounts in the table above.

ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We conduct operations in two principal currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Pound Sterling (£). The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our U.S. operations, and the Pound Sterling is the functional currency for our U.K. operations. Changes in the foreign exchange rate of the Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar impact the net operating expenses of our U.K. operations. The minimal strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the Pound Sterling in fiscal 20132015 compared to fiscal 20122014 resulted in a net decrease in research and development expense of approximately $22,000.$62,000. For every incremental 5% strengthening or weakening of the weighted average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Pound Sterling, our research and development expense in fiscal 20132015 would have decreased or increased by $109,000,$89,000, respectively. All cash and cash equivalents, and most other asset and liability balances, are denominated in each entity’s functional currency and, accordingly, we do not consider our statement of comprehensive lossincome (loss) exposure to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses to be significant.

Changes in the foreign exchange rate of the Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar also impacted total stockholders’ equity. As reported in the statement of comprehensive loss,income (loss), the relative strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Pound Sterling at June 30, 20132015 compared to June 30, 20122014 resulted in a net increase$95,000 of $29,000 in other comprehensive loss due to the translation of £731,000£503,000 of net assets of our U.K. operations, predominantly the BioSilicon (including Tethadur) technology intangible asset, into U.S. dollars. For every incremental 5% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar at June 30, 20132015 in relation to the Pound Sterling, our stockholders’ equity at June 30, 20132015 would have decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $56,000.$40,000.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013.2015. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their desired objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013,2015, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

(a)Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and

 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013.2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) inInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report ofDeloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regardingthat audited our consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rulesreporting as of the SEC that permit the Company, as a smaller reporting company, to provide only management’s reportJune 30, 2015, which is included below in this Item 9A of our Annual Report.Report on Form 10-K.

 

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of pSivida Corp.

Watertown, Massachusetts

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of pSivida Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015, based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 of the Company and our report dated September 10, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of pSivida Corp.

Watertown, Massachusetts

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of pSivida Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 20132015 and 2012,2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss,income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2013.2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of pSivida Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 20132015 and 2012,2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2013,2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015, based on the criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated September 10, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ILUVIEN for DMEhas been commercially available in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Germany in the second quarter ofsince June 2013 and expectsin Portugal since January 2015. ILUVIEN has marketing approvals in these and 14 other EU countries for the treatment of chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to launch in France in the first quarter of 2014. Alimera is also seeking marketing approvalavailable therapies. Distribution, regulatory and reimbursement matters for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. In the second quarter of 2013, Alimera received a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) goal date of October 17, 2013 after resubmitting itsAustralia and New Drug Application (“NDA”) for ILUVIEN for DME. The resubmission responded to a second Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) received from the U.S. FoodZealand, Canada and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in November 2011.Italy have been sublicensed.

Medidur,™, the Company’s lead development product, commenced the first of two planned pivotal Phase III clinical trials for the treatment ofis an injectable, micro-insert designed to treat chronic, non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (“posterior uveitis”) in June 2013.for three years from a single administration. Medidur, useswhich is the same Durasert micro-insert usedas ILUVIEN, is in ILUVIEN and deliversPhase III clinical trials, with the filing of a lower dosenew drug application (“NDA”) anticipated in the first half of the same drug as the Company’s FDA-approved Retisert® for posterior uveitis.2017. The Company is developing Medidur independently.

The Company is also developing a bioerodible, injectable micro-insert delivering latanoprost (the “Latanoprost Product”) to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Under an amended collaboration agreement, Pfizer has an option, under certain circumstances, to license the development and commercialization of the Latanoprost Product worldwide.

The Company is engaged in pre-clinical research with respect to both its BioSilicon and Durasert technology platforms. The primary focus of the BioSilicon technology research is the sustained delivery, using Tethadur™, of peptides, proteins, antibodies and other large biologic molecules in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic applications. The Company’s research program also includes the use of Durasert technology in orthopedic applications and for systemic delivery of therapeutic agents.

The Company’s FDA-approved productRetisert® provides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and a half years andyears. It is licensed to and sold by Bausch & Lomb.Lomb, and the Company receives royalties from its sales.

The Company’s pre-clinical development program is focused on developing products using its core platform technologies, Durasert™ and Tethadur™, to deliver drugs and biologics to treat wet and dry age-related macular degeneration (“AMD”), glaucoma, osteoarthritis and other diseases.

The Company has a history of operating losses and has financed its operations primarily from the receipt of license fees, milestone payments, research and development funding and royalty income from its collaboration partners, and from proceeds of sales of its equity securities and the receipt of license fees, research and development funding, royalties and contingent cash payments from its collaboration partners.securities. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $10.3$28.5 million at June 30, 2013,2015, together with $9.9 million of net proceeds received from an underwritten public offering of common shares in July 2013 and expected Retisert royalty income and

other expected cash inflows under existing collaboration agreements, will enable the Company to maintain its current and planned operations throughinto early calendar year 2014.2017. This includes expected costs through that date of Phase III clinical trials of the posterior uveitis micro-insert, butestimate excludes any potential milestone or net profitprofits receipts from sales of ILUVIEN under the Alimera collaboration agreement. The Company’s financial resources could be significantly improved if ILUVIEN for DME is approved by the FDA, which would entitle the Company to a $25.0 million milestone payment, or if Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU or, if approved, in the U.S. The Company’s ability to fund its planned operations beyond 2014,then, including completion of planned Phase III trialsclinical development of the posterior uveitis micro-insert,Medidur, is expected to depend on the amount and timing of cash receipts under existing collaboration agreements,from ILUVIEN net profits participation, as well as proceeds from any future collaboration or other agreements and/or financing transactions.

2.Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of pSivida Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year. The years ended June 30, 2013, 20122015, 2014 and 20112013 may be referred to herein as fiscal 2013,2015, fiscal 20122014 and fiscal 2011,2013, respectively. Throughout these financial statements, references

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to “US$”conform to the current presentation. Specifically, the significant components of the rate reconciliation have been reclassified to present permanent items and “$” arethe significant components of the gross deferred tax assets have been reclassified to U.S. dollars and references to “A$” are to Australian dollars.present tax credits (see Note 12).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts and disclosure of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant management estimates and assumptions include, among others, those related to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements, recognition of expense in outsourced clinical trial agreements, recoverability of intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets and the valuation of stock option awards. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company and each entityof its subsidiaries is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates - operates—the U.S. dollar or the Pound Sterling.

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated at period-end exchange rates. Amounts included in the statements of comprehensive lossincome (loss) and cash flows are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses from currency translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to foreign currency translation was $921,000 at June 30, 2013 and $950,000 at June 30, 2012.2015 and $1,045,000 at June 30, 2014. Foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, whether realized or unrealized, are recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive lossincome (loss) and were not significant for all periods presented.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, principally consisting of institutional money market funds.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments with an original or remaining maturity of greater than ninety daysthree months at the date of purchase. The Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale. Accordingly, the Company records these investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and temporary losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. If the Company determines that a decline of any investment is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to fair value. As of June 30, 20132015 and 2012,2014, there were no investments in a significant unrealized loss position. The fair value of marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet datesdate of the same or similar instruments. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts through to the earlier of sale or maturity. Such

amortization and accretion amounts are included in interest income, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.income (loss). The cost of marketable securities sold is determined by the specific identification method.

Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At June 30, 2013,2015, all of the Company’s interest-bearing cash equivalent balances, aggregating $6.3$15.8 million, were concentrated in one institutional money market fund that has investments consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, time deposits U.S. government agency securities, treasury bills and treasury repurchase agreements. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, the Company believes they bear minimal risk. Marketable securities at June 30, 2013 consist2015 and 2014 consisted of investment-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper. The Company’s investment policy, approved by the Board of Directors, includes guidelines relative to diversification and maturities designed to preserve principal and liquidity.

Alimera Sciences accounted for $25.1 million, or 95% of total revenues in fiscal 2015 and inconsequential revenues in each of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. Bausch & Lomb accounted for $1.2 million, or 5% of total revenues in fiscal 2015, $1.3 million, or 38% of total revenues in fiscal 2014, and $1.4 million, or 64%, of total revenues in fiscal 2013. A completed feasibility study agreement accounted for $1.7 million, or 49%, of total revenues in fiscal 2014. Pfizer revenues, which were inconsequential in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, accounted for $368,000, or 17%, of total revenues in fiscal 2013, $754,000, or 21%, of total revenues in fiscal 2012 and $3.3 million, or 67%, of total revenues in fiscal 2011. Bausch & Lomb accounted for $1.4 million, or 64%, of total revenues in fiscal 2013, $1.4 million, or 41%, of total revenues in fiscal 2012 and $1.4 million, or 27%, of total revenues in fiscal 2011.2013.

Bausch & Lomb accounted for $316,000,$371,000, or 53%,60% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 20132015 and $442,000,$302,000, or 46%,58% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2012.2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

Accounts and Other Receivables

Receivables consist primarily ofof: (i) quarterly royalties earned; (ii) U.K. research and development tax credits; and (iii) accrued interest on marketable securities.

Debt and Equity Instruments

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Warrants issued in connection with share issues that were denominated in a currency (A$) other than the Company’s functional currency (US$), the last of which expired in July 2012, were treated as derivative liabilities, reflecting the variable amount of functional currency to be received upon potential exercise. After initial recognition, subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities were recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in each reporting period. Fair value was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are statedrecorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computedand depreciated over their estimated useful lives (generally three to five years) using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally three years).method. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining non-cancellable lease term or thetheir estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairslives. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or sold, the assets and accumulated depreciation are derecognized from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized.

Leases

Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or capitalThe Company leases based on the economic substance of the agreement. Lease payments madereal estate and office equipment under operating leases are recognized as an expenseleases. Its primary real estate lease contains rent holiday and rent escalation clauses. The Company recognizes the rent holiday and scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.term, with the excess of rent expense over cash payments recorded as a deferred rent liability.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

The Company’s finite life intangible assets include its acquired DurasertDurasert™ and BioSiliconBioSilicon™ (including Tethadur™) patented technologies, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over twelve years. The intangible asset lives were determined based upon the anticipated period that the Company will derive future cash flows from the intangible assets, considering the effects of legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive and other economic factors. The Company continually monitors whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of its intangible assets may warrant revision. The Company assesses potential impairments to its intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset are less than its carrying value. If the Company considers an asset to be impaired, the impairment charge to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment charge related to its Durasert and BioSilicon technologies (see Note 4).

Revenue Recognition

Collaborative Research and Development and Multiple-Deliverable Arrangements

The Company enters into collaborative arrangements with strategic partners for the development and commercialization of product candidates utilizing the Company’s technologies. The terms of these agreements have typically included multiple deliverables by the Company (for example, license rights, research and development services and manufacturing of clinical materials) in exchange for consideration to the Company of some combination of non-refundable license fees, research and development funding, payments based upon achievement of clinical development or other milestones and royalties in the form of a designated percentage of product sales or profits.

Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Multiple-deliverable arrangements, such as license and development agreements, are analyzed to determine whether the deliverables can be separated or whether they must be accounted for as a single unit of accounting. When deliverables are separable, consideration received is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on the relative selling price method andusing management’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of deliverables when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available. Allocated consideration is recognized as revenue upon application of the appropriate revenue recognition principles are applied to each unit. When the Company determines that an arrangement should be accounted for as a single unit of accounting, it must determine the period over which the performance obligations will be performed and revenue will be recognized.

The Company estimates its performance period used for revenue recognition based on the specific terms of each agreement, and adjusts the performance periods, if appropriate, based on the applicable facts and circumstances. Significant management judgment may be required to determine the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations

under the arrangement. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate when its performance obligations either are completed or become inconsequential, then revenue recognition is deferred until the Company can reasonably make such estimates. Revenue is then recognized over the remaining estimated period of performance using the cumulative catch-up method.

The Company prospectively adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605);Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) for new and materially modified arrangements originating on or after July 1, 2010. ASU 2009-13 provides updated guidance on how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how consideration should be allocated, and it changes the level of evidence of standalone selling price required to separate deliverables by allowing a vendor to make its best estimate of the standalone selling price of deliverables when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available.

In June 2011, the Company materially modified its 2007 Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer, and the Company applied the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to this arrangement. The accounting for all the Company’s other existing arrangements will continue under the prior accounting standards unless an arrangement is materially modified. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 had a material impact on the Company’s financial results, increasing collaborative research and development revenues by $3.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to what would have been recognized had the Company continued to apply prior revenue recognition guidance.

Royalties

Royalty income is recognized upon the sale of the related products, provided that the royalty amounts are fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured and the Company has no remaining performance obligations under the arrangement. Such revenues are included as royalty income.

If royalties are received when the Company has remaining performance obligations, the royalty payments would be attributed to the services being provided under the arrangement and therefore revenue would be

recognized as such performance obligations are performed. SuchAny such revenues are included as collaborative research and development revenues.

Reimbursement of Costs

The Company may provide research and development services and incur maintenance costs of licensed patents under collaboration arrangements to assist in advancing the development of licensed products. The Company acts primarily as a principal in these transactions and, accordingly, reimbursement amounts received are classified as a component of revenue to be recognized consistent with the revenue recognition policy summarized above. The Company records the expenses incurred and reimbursed on a gross basis.

Deferred Revenue

Amounts received prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts not expected to be recognized within one year following the balance sheet date are classified as non-current deferred revenue.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. These costs include all direct costs, including cash compensation, stock-based compensation and benefits for research and development personnel, amortization of intangible assets, suppliesthird-party costs and materials, direct external costs including costs ofservices for clinical trials, clinical materials, pre-clinical programs, regulatory affairs, external consultants, and other operational costs related to the Company’s research and development of its product candidates.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company may award stock options and other equity-based instruments to its employees, directors and consultants pursuant to stockholder-approved plans. Compensation cost related to such awards is based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date and is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the awards.

The Company may also award stock options that are subject to objectively measurable performance and service criteria. Compensation expense for performance-based option awards begins at such time as it becomes probable that the respective performance conditions will be achieved. The Company continues to recognize the grant date fair value of performance-based options through the vesting date of the respective awards so long as it remains probable that the related performance conditions will be satisfied.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

Net Income (Loss) Income per Share

Basic net income (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which the Company reports net income, diluted net income per share is determined by adding to the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding the average number of dilutive common equivalent shares using the treasury stock method, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) Income

Comprehensive income (loss) income is comprised of net income (loss) income,, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities.

Income Tax

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for the expected future impact of differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future benefit to be derived from tax credits and loss carry forwards. Such deferred income tax computations are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, none of the benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized for any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency.uncertainty. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its income tax (expense) benefit.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements are issued periodically by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise disclosed below, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued and adopted pronouncements will not have a material

impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows or do not apply to the Company’s operations.

In June 2011,May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2011-52015-14, which officially deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year, while also permitting early adoption. As a result, ASU 2014-09 will become effective on July 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted on July 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income,Financial Statements—Going Concernwhich. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance requires a company to present components of net income (loss)standard is effective for fiscal years, and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income (loss) or other comprehensive income under current GAAP.interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adoptedis evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and has presented the required information in one continuous statement of operations and comprehensive lossstandard on a comparative basis. Other than a change in presentation, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidatedits financial statements.

 

3.License and Collaboration Agreements

Alimera

Under athe collaboration agreement with Alimera, as amended in March 2008, (the “Alimera Agreement”), the Company licensed to Alimera the rights to develop, market and sell certain product candidates, including ILUVIEN.ILUVIEN, and Alimera agreed to pay a $25.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of ILUVIEN for DME and assumed all financial responsibility for the development of licensed products under the Alimera Agreement.products. In addition, the Company is entitled to areceive 20% share of any future net profits as defined,(as defined) on sales of ILUVIENeach licensed product (including ILUVIEN) by Alimera, measured quarterly on a quarter-by-quarter and country-by-country basis, subject tobasis. Alimera may recover 20% of previously incurred and unapplied net losses (as defined) for commercialization of each product in a country, but only by an offset of 20%up to 4% of the net profits earned in that country each quarter, reducing the Company’s net profit share to 16% in each country until those net losses as defined, previously incurred by Alimera on a country-by-country basis.are recouped. In the event that Alimera sublicenses commercialization in any country, the Company is entitled to 20% of royalties and 33% of non-royalty consideration received by Alimera, less certain permitted deductions. The Company is also entitled to reimbursement of certain patent maintenance costs with respect to the patents licensed to Alimera.

The terms ofCompany’s performance obligations ended on December 31, 2009 and, accordingly, all amounts received thereafter under the Alimera Agreement defined the end period of the Company’s performance obligations as December 31, 2009. Accordingly, amounts received thereafter are recognized as revenue upon receipt or at such earlier date, if applicable, on which any such amount isamounts are both fixed and determinable and reasonably assured of collectability.

In September 2014, the Company earned a $25.0 million milestone from Alimera as a result of the FDA approval of ILUVIEN, which amount was received in October 2014. Revenue related tounder the Alimera Agreement totaled $25.1 million for fiscal 2015, $114,000 for fiscal 2014 and $67,000 for fiscal 2013, $111,000 for fiscal 2012 and $192,000 for fiscal 2011 and consisted of reimbursements for licensed patent and development costs.2013.

Pfizer

In June 2011, the Company and Pfizer entered into an Amended and Restated Collaborative Research and License agreement (the “Restated Pfizer Agreement”) to focus solely on the development of a sustained-release bioerodible micro-insert designed to deliver latanoprost for human ophthalmic disease or conditions other than uveitis. The original Pfizer agreement was effectively terminated, including the cessation of Pfizer’s $500,000 quarterly funding of the research program. Upon execution of the Restated Pfizer Agreement,uveitis (the “Latanoprost Product”). Pfizer made an upfront payment of $2.3 million, and the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to fund development of the Latanoprost Product, with technical assistance from Pfizer,development for at least one year, and, thereafter, at the Company’s option, through completionincluding assumption of Phase II clinical trials, designated as Proof-of-Concept (“POC”). Anan investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalation study is ongoingthat enrolled and followed six patients to assess the safety and efficacy of this insert for patients withtreat ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

Based upon the significant changes to the terms of the original Pfizer agreement, theThe Company considered the June 2011 Restated Pfizer Agreement a material modification and applied the guidance of ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605),Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, to this arrangement. The Company’s deliverables underCompany concluded that Pfizer’s exercise option is not a deliverable of the Restated Pfizer Agreement include conductingarrangement because it is a substantive option and not priced at a significant and incremental discount. Conducting the research and development program for the Latanoprost Product through completion of Phase II trials (the “R&D program”) was deemed to be the Company’s sole consequential deliverable and, participation on a Joint Steering Committee (“JSC”). Having determined thataccordingly, the JSC does not have standalone value from the R&D program, the Company combined these deliverables intoarrangement was treated as a single unit of accounting. The performance period is the expected period over which the services of the combined unit are to be performed. The Company concluded that the Pfizer exercise option for the worldwide exclusive license is not a deliverable of the arrangement, because it is a substantive option and is not priced at a significant and incremental discount.

The total arrangement consideration of the Restated Pfizer Agreement totaled $10.05 million, which consisted of the $7.75 million of deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet at the effective date plus the $2.3 million upfront payment. The difference betweenexcess of the total arrangement consideration andover the $6.7 million estimated selling price of the combinedCompany��s deliverables, or $3.3 million, was recognized as collaborative research and development revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the period of the modification.

As a result, the current portion of deferred revenue has been reduced to $371,000was $0 at each of June 30, 2013 compared to $2.2 million at June 30, 2012.2015 and 2014. Total deferred revenue was approximately $5.6 million at each of June 30, 20132015 and $6.0 million at June 30, 2012. The Company recorded collaborative2014. Collaborative research and development revenue related to the Restated Pfizer Agreement was inconsequential in each of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, and totaled $368,000 in fiscal 2013, $754,000 in fiscal 2012 and $3.3 million in fiscal 2011.2013.

In the 2011 CRL, the FDA did not grant marketing approval for ILUVIEN for DME and, as a result, the Company did not receive a $25.0 million milestone payment from Alimera and Alimera was unable to market ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. Following the public announcement of the 2011 CRL, there was a significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization from $82.0 million immediately prior to the announcement to $23.1 million at December 31, 2011. The Company determined that the combination of the 2011 CRL and the decline in the Company’s market capitalization were impairment indicators of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets.

As of December 31, 2011, the forecasted probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows for the intangible assets were not expected to be sufficient to recover the aggregate carrying value of $19.4 million, which consisted of $6.3 million for the Durasert technology and $13.1 million for the BioSilicon technology. To assess the recoverability of the combined intangible assets, management used a combination of market-based and income-based valuation methodologies. Using the market-based approach as the primary indicator of fair value, an enterprise value of $4.4 million (market capitalization less existing capital resources) was adjusted for an estimated control premium and for other working capital items to derive an implied fair value of the intangible assets of $4.6 million. Under the income-based approach, the forecasted cash flows expected for the intangible assets were discounted using after-tax cost of capital rates taking into account Company-specific risks. The resulting fair value under this approach supported the fair value determined under the market-based approach. Based on the above analyses, the fair value of the combined intangible assets was allocated to each intangible based on the values determined under the income-based approach, as follows (in thousands):

7.Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2—Inputs are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities with insufficient volume or infrequent transactiontransactions (less active markets).

Level 3—Inputs are unobservable estimates that are supported by little or no market activity and require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 on the basis of valuations using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs, respectively. Certain of the Company’s corporate debt securities were valued based on quoted prices for the specific securities in an active market and were therefore classified as Level 1. The remaining marketable securities have been valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security, and have been classified as Level 2. The Company’s A$ warrants, which expired during fiscal 2013, were derivative liabilities, classified as Level 3 and valued using the Black-Scholes model.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 20132015 and 20122014 by valuation hierarchy (in thousands):

At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment charge related to its Durasert and BioSilicon technologies (see Note 4). These fair value measurements were determined using a combination of market-based and income-based valuation methodologies, which incorporate unobservable inputs, thereby classifying the fair value as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The primary input used in the market-based approach was a 15% control premium that the Company estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets. The primary inputs used in the income-based approach included after-tax weighted average cost of capital rates ranging from 10% to 20% that the Company estimated would be used by a market participant.

The weighted-average exercise price of these warrants translated to US$ was $7.80 at June 30, 2012. These A$ warrants expired on July 19, 2012.

Because the potential exercise of the A$-denominated warrants would have resulted in a variable amount of proceeds in the Company’s functional currency, the fair value of the warrants was recorded as a derivative liability, subject to revaluation of the liability on a recurring basis through the statement of comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no liability recorded.

10.Stock-Based Compensation

2008 Incentive Plan

The pSivida Corp. 2008 Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) permitsprovides for the issuance of stock-basedstock options and other stock awards to directors, employees and consultants. Awards may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, deferred stock, performance awards, convertible securities and cash grants. At June 30, 2013, the number2015, a total of 6,341,255 shares reservedof common stock were authorized for issuance under the 2008 Plan, was 4,841,255, of which 1,056,4591,123,791 shares were available for new awards. The 2008 Plan includes an “evergreen provision” that allows for an annual increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. On the first day of each fiscal year until July 1, 2017, the number of shares reservedauthorized for issuance under the 2008 Plan will beis increased by the least ofof: (i) 750,000 shares; (ii) 4% of the then outstanding shares of common stock; and (iii) any such lesser amount of shares of common stock as is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The number of shares reserved for issuance increased by 750,000 shares on July 1, 2013.2015.

Options to purchase a total of 616,760831,200 shares were granted during fiscal 20132015 at exercise prices equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) on the respective option grant dates. Of this total, options to purchase 411,760701,200 shares were issued to employees with ratable annual vesting over 4 years, options to purchase 60,000 shares were issued to a non-executive director with ratable annual vesting over 3 years and options to purchase 145,00090,000 shares were issued to non-executive directors with 1-year cliff vesting.vesting and options to purchase 40,000 shares were issued to a newly appointed non-executive director with ratable annual vesting over 3 years. A total of 542,434 options vested during fiscal 2015. All options have a 10-year life.

The Company measures the fair value of options on their grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Based upon limited option exercise history, the Company has generally used the “simplified” method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107110 to estimate the expected life of stock option grants. Management believes that the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price on NASDAQ for which there has been trading history for approximately 8.5 years, best represents the expected volatility over the estimated life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based upon published U.S. Treasury yield curve rates at the date of grant corresponding to the expected life of the stock option. An assumed dividend yield of zero reflects the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intentions to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

The key assumptions used to apply the option pricing model for options granted under the 2008 Plan during the years ended June 30, 2013, 20122015, 2014 and 20112013 were as follows:

The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of options that are expected to vest. Based on historical trends, the Company applies estimated forfeiture rates to determine the numbers of awards that are expected to vest. Additional expense is recorded if the actual forfeiture rate for each tranche of option grants is lower than estimated, and a recovery of prior expense is recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated. The Company assesses the forfeiture rate at the end of each reporting period. The Company begins to record stock-based compensation expense for performance-based options at the time it becomes probable that the respective performance conditions will be achieved. The Company continues to recognize the grant date fair value of performance-based options through the vesting date of the respective awards so long as it remains probable that the related performance conditions will be satisfied. In fiscal 2012, the Company reversed $121,000 of expense for performance-based options that were forfeited in that year.

The significant components of the prior period gross deferred tax assets have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Specifically, $564,000 as of June 30, 2014 has been reclassified from Other to Tax credits.

The valuation allowancesallowance generally reflectreflects limitations on the Company’s ability to use the tax attributes and reduce the value of such attributes to the more-likely-than-not realizable amount. Management assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient taxable income will be generated to use the existing net deferred tax assets. Based on a weighting of the objectively verifiable negative evidence in the form of cumulative operating losses over the three year period ended June 30, 2015, management believes that it is not more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established. The valuation allowance decreased $3.6 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, which is attributed to the consumption of $2.5 million in tax benefits from domestic net operating loss carry forwards and a decrease of $1.1 million attributed to re-measurement of the remaining net deferred tax assets which continue to bear a full valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased $4.6 million and $2.9 million during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $7.5 million during fiscal 2012.respectively, with such increases being attributed to the re-measurement of the net deferred tax assets at the respective year-end dates.

At June 30, 2013,2015, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $54.7$55.1 million, which expire at various dates between calendar years 2023 and 2033.2035. The utilization of certain of these loss and tax credit carry forwards may be limited by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of historical or future changes in the Company’s ownership. At June 30, 2013,2015, the Company had state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $17.0$14.2 million, which expire between 2033 and 2035, as well as U.S. federal and state research and development tax credit carry forwards of approximately $742,000, which $3.1 million expires in 2013expire at various dates between calendar years 2016 and $13.9 million expires between 2031 and 2033.
