Zogenix, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation Liquidity and Going Concern
Organization
Zogenix, Inc. and, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative central nervous system (“CNS”) therapies.therapies for people living with serious and life-threatening rare CNS disorders and medical conditions. The Company’s current primary area of therapeutic focus is orphanrare, or rare“orphan” childhood-onset epilepsy disorders and its lead product candidate is ZX008. ZX008 is currently being developed for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (“LGS”). In addition, the Company performed contract manufacturing services under a supply agreement through April 2017 (see Note 5).Syndrome. The Company operates in one business segment—the research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products and its headquarters are located in Emeryville, California.
In April 2015, the Company divested its Zohydro ER® business. Zohydro ER activity has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods herein and reported as discontinued operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zogenix, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. “Accrued clinical trial expenses” and “Other accrued liabilities”, which previously were reported as “Accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, are now reported as separate line items. Additionally, previously reported “Interest expense, net” has been reclassified to present interest income and interest expense separately in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for any future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as2017, which was filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017.6, 2018.
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Such assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.Future Funding Requirements
Excluding gains from two discrete business divestitures, the Company has incurred recurringsignificant net losses and continuing negative cash flows from its operationsoperating activities since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $532.3$673.5 million as ofat September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, the2018. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $64.7 million. Management expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as the Company continues to incur costs related toadvance its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials of ZX008 in North Americaproduct candidates through development and the European Union (“EU”) in Dravet syndrome as well as the planned commencement of a Phase 3 clinical trial in LGS by the end of 2017.commercialization. Additionally, upon acceptance of the Company’s regulatory submissions for ZX008 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), and regulatory approval of ZX008 by the FDA or EMA, if at all, each a milestone event, the Company will owe milestone payments under an existing agreement in connection with the Company’s prior acquisition of ZX008.
On October 5, 2017, To date, the Company received aggregatehas relied primarily on the proceeds from equity offerings to finance its operations. See Note 6 for the Company's recent equity offerings.
Until the Company can generate a common stock offeringsufficient amount of approximately $271.3 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses (see Note 11). This capital raise has resolvedrevenue to finance its cash requirements, if ever, the Company’s significant risks and uncertainties regarding sources of liquidity, which previously raised substantial doubt about the Company’s abilityCompany may need to continue as a going concern.to rely on additional financing to achieve its business objectives. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels when needed, the Company may be required to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of the product development programs or commercialization efforts or other aspects of its business plans, and its operating results and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, other than as set forth below.
Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The Company considers cash equivalents to be only those investments which are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
The Company invests its excess cash in marketable securities with high credit ratings that are classified as Level 1 and Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. These marketable securities consists of money market funds and certificate of deposits, securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt securities and commercial paper, which are all classified as “available-for-sale”. The Company considers all available-for-sale securities, including those with maturity dates beyond 12 months, as available to support current operational liquidity needs and, therefore, classifies all securities with maturity dates beyond three months at the date of purchase as current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on marketable securities are included in interest income (expense), net. The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification method.
The Company periodically evaluates whether declines in fair values of its marketable securities below their book value are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of several qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the marketable security until a forecasted recovery occurs. Additionally, the Company assesses whether it has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any marketable securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Factors considered include quoted market prices, recent financial results and operating trends, implied values from any recent transactions or offers of investee securities, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, other publicly available information that may affect the value of the marketable security, duration and severity of the decline in value, and management’s strategy and intentions for holding the marketable security. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on its marketable securities related to other-than-temporary declines in market value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in money market funds and certificate of deposits, securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt securities and commercial paper. The Company has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity. The Company has not experienced any credit losses related to these financial instruments and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk related to these instruments. 
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Accounting Standards UpdatedUpdate (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting changes how companies account for certain aspects of stock-based awards to employees. Under the guidance, entities will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital. Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, entities will recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Under current guidance, excess tax benefits are not recognized until the deduction reduces taxes payable. Further, the new guidance allows entities to make an accounting policy election to either estimate forfeitures or recognize forfeitures as they occur. If an election is made, the change to recognize forfeitures as they occur must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings or accumulated deficit. 
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $0.2 million for previously unrecognized excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, which was fully offset by an equal increase to its valuation allowance resulting in no impact to opening accumulated deficit. In addition and as provided for under this guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The adoption of this aspect of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory simplifies current accounting treatments by requiring entities to measure most inventories at “the lower of cost and net realizable value” rather than using lower of cost or market. This guidance does not apply to inventories measured using the last-in, first-out method or the retail inventory method. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance (collectively, “Topic 606”) will replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The newamended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized.recognition. The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company adopted Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The Company plans to adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. In 2017, the Company’s only contract with a customer was a manufacturing and supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Endo Ventures Limited (“Endo”), which was terminated in September 2017. While the Company has not completed its assessment of the impact of adoption, theapproach. The adoption of this guidance isTopic 606 did not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any contracts with customers.
ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15

effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business narrows the definition of a business and related disclosuresprovides additional guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This accounting standards update is required to be applied prospectively to transactions occurring after the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting provides guidance on determining changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards and require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718 unless all of the following conditions are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”). The Tax Act contains, among other things, significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, implementing a territorial tax system, and requiring a mandatory one-time tax on U.S. owned undistributed foreign earnings and profits known as the transition tax. In December 2017, SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”) to address the accounting implications of recently enacted U.S. federal tax reform. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date to address ongoing guidance and tax interpretations that are expected over the next 12 months. The Company has adopted SAB 118 and currently considers its accounting of the impact of U.S. federal tax reform to be incomplete but continues to make a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax assets. The Company expects to complete the remainder of the analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118. Adjustments, if any, are not expected to impact the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss due to the Company not anticipating having any contractsfull valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.
ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting simplifies the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees for goods and services, including fixing the estimated fair value of the stock award at the date of grant. ASU 2018-07 expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 requires a modified retrospective transition approach, with customers in placea cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the datebeginning of adoption of Topic 606. The Company will continue to monitor any new contracts it enters into with customersthe fiscal year. ASU 2018-07 is effective for evaluation under Topic 606.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) requires lessees to recognize the lease assets and lease liabilities that arise from both capital and operating leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions. The guidance is effectivepublic companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within thosethat fiscal years.year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-07 effective July 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements in Securities Act Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. These amendments eliminate, modify, or integrate into other SEC requirements certain disclosure rules. Among the amendments is the requirement to present an analysis of changes in stockholders’ equity in the interim financial statements included in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The analysis, which can be presented as a footnote or separate statement, is required for the current and comparative quarter and year-to-date interim periods. The amendments became effective for all filings made on or after November 5, 2018. In light of the anticipated timing of effectiveness of the amendments and expected proximity of effectiveness to the filing date for most filers’ quarterly reports, the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance issued a Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation related to Exchange Act Forms, or CDI – Question 105.09, that provides transition guidance related to this disclosure requirement. CDI – Question 105.09 states that the SEC would not object if the filer’s first presentation of the changes in shareholders’ equity is included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the effective date of the amendments. Except for the requirement to provide the annual disclosure

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires all lessees to recognize ROU assets and liabilities for leases with a duration greater than one year on the balance sheet as well as provide disclosures with respect to certain qualitative and quantitative information regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Both a ROU asset and liability will initially be measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Subsequent measurement, including the presentation of expenses and cash flows, will depend on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease. Initial costs directly attributable to negotiating and arranging the lease will be included in the asset. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. Originally, entities were required to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective approach, which required prior periods to be presented under this new standard with various practical expedients allowed. In July 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which now allows entities the option of recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption (January 1, 2019) while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company intends to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019 by recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and utilizing the practical expedient that allows the Company to not reassess whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, the classification of leases or initial direct costs. The Company is in the process of inventorying and scoping its existing lease contracts. While the Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting this new accounting standard update on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company anticipates that ROU assets and corresponding liabilities will be recognized in its condensed consolidated balance sheets related to its lease arrangements. The adoption of these standards are also expected to impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement disclosures.
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a

goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amendments in ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The updated guidance requires a prospective adoption. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting this new accounting standardASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued compensation and theother current liabilities of the Company’s discontinued operations approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s Term Loan approximates fair value, considering Level 2 inputs, because it has a variable interest rate.
Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The fair value of cash equivalents was determined based on Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices in active markets. The fair value of the Company’s common stock warrant liabilities and contingent consideration liabilities were determined based on Level 3 inputs using valuation models with significant unobservable inputs.

(1) Fair value is determined by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Represents the fair value of common stock warrants outstanding that may require cash settlement under certain circumstances. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liabilities using the Black-Scholes valuation model. As of December 31, 2016, common stock warrant liabilities were primarily attributable to warrants sold as part of the Company’s July 2012 public offering. The warrants were exercisable into 1,901,918 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share and had a contractual term of 5 years from the issuance date. In July 2017, these warrants expired unexercised. As of September 30, 2017, common stock warrant liabilities relate to warrants issued in July 2011 in connection with a debt financing arrangement. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase up to 28,125 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $72.00 per share. The warrants will expire in July 2021.
(3)In connection with a prior acquisition, the Company may be required to pay future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory approval or sales-based milestone events. The Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on the acquisition date using a probability-weighted income approach, which reflects the probability and timing of future payments. This fair value measurement is based on significant Level 3 inputs such as the anticipated timelines and probability of achieving development, regulatory approval or sales-based milestone events and projected revenues. The resulting probability-weighted cash flows are discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Subsequent to the acquisition date, at each reporting period prior to settlement, the Company revalues these liabilities by performing a review of the assumptions listed above and record increases or decreases in the fair value of these contingent consideration liabilities. In the absence of any significant changes in key assumptions, the quarterly determination of fair values of these contingent consideration liabilities would primarily reflect the passage of time. Significant judgment is used in determining Level 3 inputs and fair value measurements as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent reporting period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations in any given period and actual results may differ from estimates. For example, significant increases in the probability of achieving a milestone or projected revenues would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement while significant decreases in the estimated probability of achieving a milestone or projected revenues would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant increases in the discount rate or in the anticipated timelines would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement while significant decreases in the discount rate or anticipated timelines would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. The potential contingent consideration payments required upon achievement of development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones related to the Company’s acquisition of ZX008 range from zero if none of the milestones are achieved to a maximum of $95.0 million (undiscounted).
There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented.same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.

(2) Represents the fair value of common stock warrants outstanding that may require cash settlement under certain circumstances. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant liabilities using the Black-Scholes valuation model. As of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, common stock warrant liabilities relate to warrants issued in July 2011 in connection with a debt financing arrangement. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase up to 28,125 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $72.00 per share. The warrants will expire in July 2021.

The potential contingent consideration payments required upon achievement of development, regulatory approval and sales-based milestones related to the Company’s acquisition of ZX008 range from zero if none of the milestones are achieved to a maximum of $95.0 million (undiscounted). As of September 30, 2018, the Company has classified $32.5 million of the total contingent consideration liabilities of $80.1 million as current liabilities. The classification was based upon the Company’s reasonable expectation as to the timing of settlement of certain specified milestones.

There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented. See Note 5 – Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Endo and Associated Exit Activities
As part3 for further information regarding the amortized cost of the divestiture of the Company’s Sumavel DosePro business to Endo in May 2014, the Company entered into the Supply Agreement with Endo for the exclusive right, and contractual obligation, to manufacture and supply Sumavel DosePro to Endo for an initial term of eight years. To support the Company’s Sumavel DosePro manufacturing operations, Endo provided the Company with an interest-free working capital advance of $7.0 million under a promissory note (see Note 6). The working capital advance matures upon termination of the Supply Agreement.Company's financial instruments.
In January 2017, Endo notified the Company of its intention to terminate the Supply Agreement. The Company began to wind down Sumavel DosePro operations while the parties finalized termination of the Supply Agreement. As a result, the Company performed an analysis to estimate cash flows from property and equipment used in the production of Sumavel DosePro in the fourth quarter of 2016. Based on this analysis, the Company recognized an impairment charge for long-lived assets of $6.4 million. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an additional asset impairment charge of $0.8 million for long-lived manufacturing assets associated with the production of Sumavel DosePro. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $2.2 million reduction to inventory to reflect its current net realizable value. These additional charges reflected ongoing negotiations with Endo over the course of finalizing the termination of the Supply Agreement.
In September 2017, the Company and Endo executed a termination agreement which resolved all matters under the Supply Agreement. Pursuant to the termination agreement, the Company received cash consideration of $1.5 million from Endo for reimbursement of a portion of the Company’s termination costs for its third-party suppliers and manufacturers related to Sumavel DosePro product. As part of the termination agreement, both parties also agreed to net settle outstanding accounts receivable of $4.7 million due from Endo and the Company’s remaining purchased raw materials and other costs of $2.3 million against the $7.0 million working capital advance note payable due to Endo.
In connection with the Endo termination agreement, the Company also executed termination agreements with its third-party suppliers and manufacturers related to the Sumavel DosePro product. Total costs incurred in connection with the termination of these agreements was $2.5 million. The Company paid $1.8 million of such costs during the third quarter of 2017, including certain asset retirement obligations accrued in prior periods of $0.6 million. The remaining $0.7 million recorded in accrued liabilities at September 30, 2017 will be paid in the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding the non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of unamortized discount related to imputed interest (see Note 6), these termination agreements resulted in a net loss on contract termination of $0.5 million, which has been included in loss on contract termination in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In December 2014, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”) and Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) (collectively, the “Lenders”), under which the Company borrowed a $20.0 million term loan. In addition, the Loan Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility of up to $4.0 million. The obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by liens on the Company’s personal property and the Company has agreed to not encumber any of its intellectual property. The Loan Agreement includes a material adverse change clause, which enables the Lenders to require immediate repayment of the outstanding debt if certain subjective acceleration provisions are triggered. The material adverse change clause covers provisions including a material impairment of underlying collateral, change in business operations or condition or material impairment of the Company’s prospects for repayment of any portion of the remaining debt obligation. To date, the Company has not received any notification from the Lenders that it is not in compliance with this clause.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Lenders were issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 63,559 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $9.44. The warrants are exercisable for 10 years. At the time of issuance, the fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $0.6 million using the Black-Scholes valuation model and was recorded at issuance as debt discount to the term loan with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet.
The term loan bore interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.75% or (ii) the sum of the prevailing prime rate (as reported by the Wall Street Journal) plus 5.25%. Payments under the loan were interest-only until January 1, 2016, followed by equal monthly payments of principal and interest through the scheduled maturity date of December 1, 2018.
On April 23, 2015, in connection with the sale of the Zohydro ER business, the Company and the Lenders entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement, which terminated all encumbrances on the Company’s personal property related to its Zohydro ER business.
On June 17, 2016, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Loan Agreement with the Lenders. The Second Amendment modified the loan repayment terms to be interest-only from July 1, 2016 to February 1, 2018, followed by equal monthly payments of principal and interest through a new maturity date of July 1, 2020. Under the terms of the Second Amendment, the interest rate applicable to the term loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (i) 7.00% or (ii) the sum of the prevailing prime rate (as reported by the Wall Street Journal) plus 3.25%. In addition, the Second Amendment terminated the revolving credit facility previously available under the Loan Agreement. In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company paid (i) the end of term fee of $1.0 million due under the Loan Agreement as a result of entering into the Second Amendment and (ii) the end of term fee of $0.1 million with respect to the termination of the revolving credit facility. The Second Amendment also includes an end of term fee of $1.4 million payable on July 1, 2020, or upon early repayment of the term loan. An early repayment will be subject to a prepayment penalty of $0.2 million.
The Loan Agreement required the Company to establish a controlled deposit account with SVB containing at least 85% of the Company’s account balances at all financial institutions which can be utilized by the Lenders to satisfy the obligations in the event of default. The Second Amendment permitted the Company to maintain collateral account balances exceeding the greater of (i) $50.0 million, or (ii) 50% of the Company’s total collateral account balances (other than specifically excluded accounts), with financial institutions other than the Lenders; provided that, if the Company’s total collateral account balances are below $50.0 million, all such balances will be maintained with the Lenders. Other affirmative covenants include, among others, requiring the Company to maintain legal existence and governmental approvals, deliver certain financial reports, maintain insurance coverage and satisfy certain requirements regarding accounts receivable. Negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on transferring collateral, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions,

paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, creating liens, selling assets and consummation of a change in control, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
Extinguishment of Working Capital Advance Note Payable
In connection with entering into the Supply Agreement for Sumavel DosePro with Endo in May 2014, Endo provided the Company with an interest-free working capital advance of $7.0 million in the form of a note payable to support the Company’s Sumavel DosePro operations. The note payable matures in the event the Supply Agreement is terminated. The note payable was initially recorded on the balance sheet net of a $4.7 million debt discount related to imputed interest. The debt discount was being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the supply agreement’s initial term of eight years.
In September 2017, the Company and Endo terminated the Supply Agreement and the note payable became due and payable in accordance with its terms. Pursuant to the termination agreement, the $7.0 million promissory note was extinguished to settle amounts owed to the Company for accounts receivable and purchased raw materials (see Note 5). The Company recorded a non-cash charge upon extinguishment of debt of $3.4 million due to the write-off of unamortized discount related to imputed interest in the third quarter of 2017.

Prior to March 2018, under our non-employee director compensation policy, any non-employee director who was first elected to the board of directors was granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock on the date of his or her initial election to the board of directors. In addition, on the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, each non-employee director was eligible to receive an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock.
Performance Stock Options
In October 2015, the Company electedgranted employees certain performance-based stock options for retention purposes. The stock options would vest upon satisfaction of a specified regulatory milestone within three years of the date of grant. In 2017, management determined the achievement of the performance condition was no longer probable and the cumulative compensation expense previously recognized was reversed. In September 2018, these awards were modified to accountallow for forfeitures as they occur.90% of such options outstanding at the modification date to vest immediately. The remaining 10% of the awards were canceled in October 2018 since the performance condition was not met. This improbable to probable modification resulted in the calculation and recognition of incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.5 million during the third quarter of 2018.

Overview
We are a pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative central nervous system or CNS,(“CNS”) therapies that address specific clinical needs for people living with orphanserious and otherlife-threatening rare CNS disorders who need innovative treatment alternatives to help them improve their daily functioning.and medical conditions. Our current primary area of therapeutic focus is orphanrare, or rare“orphan” childhood-onset epilepsy and CNS disorders.
We currently own and control worldwide development and commercialization rights to ZX008, our lead Phase 3 product candidate. ZX008 is low-dose fenfluramine for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and catastrophic forms of childhood-onset epilepsy: Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.syndrome (“LGS”).
ZX008 for Patients with Dravet Syndrome
Dravet syndrome is a rare and catastrophic form of pediatric-onset epilepsy with life threatening consequences for patients and for which current treatment options are very limited. ZX008 has received orphan drug designation in the United States and the European

Union or the EU,(the “EU”) for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. In January 2016, we received notification of Fast

Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, foraddition, ZX008 for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. syndrome received Fast Track designation from the FDA in January 2016 and Breakthrough Therapy designation in February 2018.
Study 1501 and 1502 (“Study 1”)
We initiated our Phase 3 clinical trials in North America (Study 1501)(“Study 1501”) in January 2016 and in Europe and Australia in June 2016 (Study 1502)(“Study 1502”). Study 1501 and Study 1502 are each identical randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled studies of ZX008 as adjunctive therapy for patients with uncontrolled seizures who have Dravet syndrome. In January 2017, we announced our plan to report top-line results from Study 1501 and Study 1502 via a prospective merged study analysis approach whereby top-line results from the first 119approximately 120 subjects randomized into either Study 1501 or 1502 would have their study results analyzed and be reported initially as “Study 1.”1”. In April 2017, we completed enrollment of Study 1 and, in September 2017, we announced positive top-line results for the 119 patients included in the Study 1. 1 Phase 3 trial. The Study 1 trial met its primary objective of demonstrating that ZX008, at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg/day (30mg/day maximum), is superior to placebo as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of Dravet syndrome in children and young adults based on change in the frequency of convulsive seizures between the 6-week baseline observation period and the 14-week treatment period (p<0.001). In the trial, ZX008 at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg/day also demonstrated statistically significant improvements versus placebo in all key secondary measures, including the proportion of patients with clinically meaningful reductions in seizure frequency (50% or greater) and longest seizure-free interval. The same analyses comparing a 0.2 mg/kg/day ZX008 dose versus placebo also demonstrated statistically significant improvement compared with placebo. ZX008 was generally well tolerated without any signs or symptoms of valvulopathy or pulmonary hypertension.
Study 1504
In September 2016, we initiated the pharmacokinetic and safety profile portionPart 1 of Study 1504, a two-part, double blind, randomized, two arm pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of ZX008 in Dravet syndrome patients who are taking stiripentol, valproate andand/or clobazam as part of their baseline standard care. InPart 1 investigated the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of ZX008 when co-administered with the stiripentol regimen (stiripentol, valproate and/or clobazam). Based on the results of the pharmacokinetic and safety portion of the trial, in February 2017 we initiated the safety and efficacy portion of Study 1504 utilizing a dose of ZX008 0.5mg/kg/day (20mg/day maximum). Study 1504, a two-arm study that comparescompared ZX008 versus placebo across the titration and 12-week maintenance periods at multiple sites, which currently includesincluded sites in France, the Netherlands, United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain. In January 2018, patient enrollment was completed at 87 patients and randomized between the ZX008-arm (n=43) or placebo (n=44).
Announcement of Top-line Clinical Trial Results for Study 1504 will enroll approximately 40 patients per treatment group. We expect to report
On July 12, 2018, we reported positive top-line results from Study 15041504. The study results, which are consistent with those reported in Study 1, successfully met the primary objective of demonstrating that ZX008, at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day, when co-administered with stiripentol regimen (stiripentol, valproate and/or clobazam), is superior to placebo as adjunctive therapy in the first halftreatment of 2018.Dravet syndrome in children and young adults based on change in the frequency of convulsive seizures between the 6-week baseline observation period and the 15-week treatment period (p<0.001). In the trial, ZX008 at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day also demonstrated statistically significant improvements versus placebo in both key secondary measures, the proportion of patients with clinically meaningful reductions in seizure frequency (50% or greater) and longest seizure-free interval. ZX008 was generally well-tolerated in this study, with the adverse events consistent with those observed in Study 1 and the known safety profile of fenfluramine without any signs or symptoms of valvulopathy or pulmonary hypertension. We believe we are on track to submit applications for regulatory approvals for ZX008 in the United States and Europe in the second halffirst quarter of 2018.2019.
Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or ZX008 for Patients with LGS
LGS is another rare, and catastrophic form ofrefractory, debilitating pediatric-onset epilepsy with life threatening consequences for patients and for which current treatment options are very limited. Beginning in first quarter of 2016, we funded an open-label, dose-finding, twenty-patient investigator initiatedinvestigator-initiated study of the effectiveness and tolerability of ZX008 as an adjunctive therapy in patients with LGS. In December 2016, we presented initial data from an interim analysis of the first 13 patients to have completed at least 12 weeksThe results of this Phase 2 open-label, dose-finding clinical trial at the American Epilepsy Society Meeting. These data demonstrated that ZX008 provided clinically meaningful improvement in major motor seizure frequency in patients with severepilot study of 13 refractory LGS with seven out of 13 patients (54%) achieving at leastwere recently published in a 50%peer review journal (Epilepsia) and reported an overall 53% median reduction in the number of major motor seizures, at doses below the 0.8 mg/kg/day maximum.convulsive seizures,8 patients (62%) had a ≥50% convulsive seizure reduction and 3 patients (23%) had a ≥75% reduction. In addition, ZX008 was generally well tolerated without any observed signs or symptoms or echocardiographic findings of valvulopathy or pulmonary hypertension, as expected based on our epilepsy program to date.hypertension. We believe these data indicate that ZX008 has the potential to be a safe and effective adjunctive treatment of major motor and drop seizures for patients with LGS. Based on the strength of the LGS data generated, in the first quarter of 2017, we submitted an investigational new drug or IND,(“IND”) application to the FDA to initiate a Phase 3 program of ZX008 in LGS, which became effective in April 2017. In the first half of 2017, ZX008 received orphan drug designation for the treatment of LGS from the FDA in the United States and the EMAEuropean Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in the EU. We intend to initiate a Phase 3 program of ZX008 in LGS by the end of 2017.

On September 29,Study 1601
In November 2017, we announced positive top-line results from the initiation of our multicenter global Phase 3 clinical trial of ZX008 as an adjunctive treatment for seizures in patients with LGS (“Study 1.1601”). Study 1601 is planned for up to 85 sites in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, South Africa and Australia and is divided in two parts. Part 1 is a double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ZX008, low-dose fenfluramine, when added to a patient’s current anti-epileptic therapy. The trial met its primary objectivewill include two dose levels of demonstrating that ZX008 at a dose of(0.2 mg/kg/day and 0.8 mg/kg/day, is superiorup to placeboa maximum daily dose of 30 mg), as adjunctive therapywell as placebo. After establishing baseline seizure frequency for 4 weeks, randomized patients will be titrated to their dose over a 2-week titration period, followed by a 12-week fixed dose maintenance period. We are targeting a total of 225 randomized patients (75 per treatment arm) in the treatmenttrial. The primary endpoint of Dravet syndrome in children and young adults based onthe clinical trial is change in the frequencynumber of convulsive seizures that result in drops between the 6-week baseline observation period and the 14-week treatment period (p<0.001). ZX008combined titration and maintenance periods at the 0.8 mg/kg/day also demonstrated statistically significant improvements versus placebo in alldose. The key secondary measures, includingendpoints include change in the number of seizures that result in drops between baseline and the combined titration and maintenance periods at the 0.2 mg/kg/day dose, and the proportion of patients with clinically meaningful reductionsachieving a 50 percent reduction in seizure frequency and longest seizure-free interval. The same analyses comparing a 0.2 mg/kg/day ZX008 dose versus placebo also demonstrated statistically significant improvement compared with placebo.
Relday™ Development and License Agreement Termination
In July 2011, we entered into a development and license agreement with Durect Corporation, or Durect, under which we were granted an exclusive worldwide development and commercialization license to intellectual property related to Relday. Relday is an investigational, proprietary, long-acting formulationdrop seizures. Part 2 of risperidone, an atypical anti-psychotic agent. Under the development and license agreement, we were responsible for the clinical development and commercialization of Relday while Durect was responsible for pre-clinical, formulation and chemistry, manufacturing and controls development. Under the terms of the development and license agreement, we were obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to fund the development and seek and maintain regulatory approval for Relday and if successful, to pay Durect up to $103.0 million in total future milestone payments with respect to Relday, subject to and upon the achievement of various development, regulatory, and sales-related milestones.
On August 1, 2017, we and Durect entered into an agreement to terminate the development and license agreement related to Relday. Under the terms of the termination agreement, all of our development and commercialization rights related to Relday were returned to Durect and all our regulatory filings and development information related to Reldaytrial will be assigned and/or transferreda 12-month open-label extension to Durect. Upon termination, we have no further obligations to make any potential future milestone payments with respect to Relday. In addition,evaluate the termination agreement does not provide us with any future royalty entitlements.long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ZX008.

Termination of Contract Manufacturing Supply Agreement
Following our previously announced decision with Endo Ventures Limited, or Endo, to discontinue the manufacturing and supply of Sumavel DosePro, on September 19, 2017, we and Endo entered into a Termination Agreement, or the Termination Agreement, which terminates the License Agreement dated May 16, 2014, by and between us and Endo, or the License Agreement, and the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated May 16, 2014, by and between the Company and Endo, or the Supply Agreement, as well as certain quality agreements related thereto. We previously sold our Sumavel DosePro business to Endo, but retained the exclusive right and contractual obligation to manufacture and supply Sumavel DosePro to Endo under the License Agreement and Supply Agreement. In connection with the Termination Agreement, we have also terminated our relationships with third-party suppliers and manufacturers related to the Sumavel DosePro product.
The termination agreements with Durect and Endo related to Relday and Sumavel DosePro, respectively, will enable us to focus our resources on the development of ZX008, our lead product candidate. As of September 30, 2017, we no longer have a source of recurring revenue. Unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize ZX008, our ability to generate any meaningful revenue will be limited.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, the impairment assessments related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, business combinations, discontinued operations,estimated fair value measurements,of contingent consideration, accrued clinical trials expense accrualtrial expenses and the related prepaid expenses, stock-based compensation and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in developing, testing and seeking marketing approval of our product candidates, including: license and milestone payments; payments made to third-party clinical research organizations or CROs,(“CROs”) and investigational sites, which conduct our clinical trials on our behalf, and consultants; expenses associated with regulatory submissions, pre-clinical development and clinical trials; payments to third-party manufacturers, which produce our active pharmaceutical ingredient and finished product; personnel related expenses, such as salaries, benefits, travel and other related expenses, including stock-based compensation; and facility, maintenance, depreciation and other related expenses.
We utilize contract manufacturing organizations, CROs, contract laboratories and independent contractors to produce product candidate material and for the conduct of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. We track third-party costs by program. We recognize the expenses associated with the services provided by CROs based on estimated progress toward completion at the end of each reporting period. We coordinate clinical trials through a number of contracted investigational sites and recognize the associated expense based on a number of factors, including actual and estimated subject enrollment and visits, direct pass-through costs and other clinical site fees. The table below sets forth information regarding our research and development costs for our major development programs.

We acquired ZX008 in October 2014 and have since incurred significant expenditures related to conducting clinical trials of ZX008. Research and development expenses related to ZX008 remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 as a decrease in activity within Study 1504 was offset by an increase in activity within Study 1601, which was initiated in November 2017. Research and development expenses related to ZX008 increased by $9.2$17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 reflecting the progression and expansion of our clinical trial activities within Study 1504 as well as Study 1601. Other research and development expenses increased by $6.4 million and $14.8$10.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017.

The contingent consideration liability relates to milestone payments under an existing agreement in connection with our prior acquisition of ZX008. At each reporting period, the estimated fair value of the liability is determined by applying the income approach which utilizes variable inputs, such as the probability of success for achieving regulatory/commercial milestones, anticipated future cash flows, risk-free adjusted discount rates, and nonperformance risk. Any change in the fair value is recorded as contingent consideration (income) expense.
Changes inFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities increased by $5.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, due to the positive top-line results announced in July 2018 from our second confirmatory Phase 3 study (Study 1504) of ZX008 for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities increased by $10.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively, due to the positive top-line results announced in September 2017 from our first Phase 3 trial (Study 1) of ZX008 for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. As a result of the positive top-line data from clinical trials for the reporting periods presented, the probability of success used to calculate the specified milestone payments increased.

In August 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering for the sale of 6,000,000 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds raised from the offering were approximately $292.9 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of $19.1 million.
As of September 30, 2018, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $539.1 million. Our principal uses of cash are research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and other working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
the rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other product development programs for ZX008 and our other product candidates and any other product candidates that we may develop, in-license or acquire;
the timing of regulatory approval for any of our other product candidates and the commercial success of any approved products;

the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights associated with ZX008 and any of our other product candidates;
the costs of establishing or outsourcing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, should we elect to do so;
the costs, terms and timing of completion of outsourced commercial manufacturing supply arrangements for any product candidate; and
the effect of competing technological and market developments.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue to finance our cash requirements, if ever, we may need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. However, we may not be able to secure such financing in a timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all. If future funds are raised through issuance of equity or debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our potential products or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Without additional funds at the time we need such funding, we may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of our research and development activities, or other operations and potentially delay product development in an effort to provide sufficient funds to continue its operations. If any of these events occurs, our ability to achieve the development and commercialization goals could be adversely affected.

The following table presents selected information from our statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities of $83.2 million was primarily attributable to a net loss of $101.5 million, plus the net effect of non-cash items of $14.8 million, primarily from stock-based compensation and changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, and a net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3.4 million. Cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to the timing of payments for prepaid and accrued clinical trial costs.

Non-cash charges primarily consisted of change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, inventory write-down and impairment charges for long-lived assets related to our Endo supply agreement. The increase in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to cash received from Endo for previously delivered product and the wind down of manufacturing operations under the supply agreement. Certain working capital balances which were net settled by the extinguishment of the working capital advance note payable pursuant to the Endo termination agreement were accounted for as a non-cash activity.
Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was minimal. Asattributable to purchases of April 2017, we have no further obligation to supply Endo with additional Sumavel DosePro. As a result, we expect capital expenditures for the remainder of 2017 to be minimal.property and equipment.

Pursuant to a termination agreement with Endo executed in September 2017, our $7.0 million working capital advance note payable was extinguished through net settlement of certain working capital balances owed to us by Endo and has been presented as a non-cash financing activity in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the accompanying financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net cash used in financing activities consisted of principal repayments on our term loan, offset by net proceeds from our amended term loan with Oxford and SVB and proceeds from stock issuances underemployee equity incentive plans.
Debt Obligations
As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under our term loan. There are no covenants related to our working capital advance note payable. Our term loan agreement includes a material adverse change clause, which enables the lenders to require immediate repayment of the outstanding debt if certain subjective acceleration provisions are triggered. The material adverse change clause covers provisions including a material impairment of underlying collateral, change in business operations or condition or material impairment of our prospects for repayment of any portion of the remaining debt obligation. To date, we have not received any notification from the Lenders that we are not in compliance with this clause. For a detailed description of our debt obligations, see Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in the Quarterly Report.

Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business during the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 to the information regarding our contractual obligations that was disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
In October 2018, we executed a lease for new headquarters with our current landlord to move to a facility nearby our current headquarters in Emeryville, California. The lease has an initial term that expires on June 30, 2027 and provides for one five-year renewal option. Concurrent with the new lease, the landlord agreed to terminate our existing lease once we complete the move to our new headquarters. The cash expected to be paid for rent over the eight-year term of the new lease is approximately $15.3 million beginning in June 2019, partially offset by a reduction in the commitments under our existing headquarter lease.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2017,2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
ThereAs part of our investment portfolio, we own financial instruments that are sensitive to market risks. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital until it is required to fund operations, including our research and development activities.
Interest Rate Risk
We place our investments with high quality credit issuers and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. We invest our excess cash primarily in money market funds and certificate of deposits, securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt securities and commercial paper. These investments are denominated in U.S. Dollars. A portion of our investments consisting of interest-bearing securities are subject to interest rate risk and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. The portfolio includes cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. Due to the conservative nature of these instruments, we do not believe that we have a material exposure to interest rate risk. A 100 basis points change in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the total value of our portfolio. We had no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2018.

Foreign Exchange Risk
As a result of our U.K operations, we face exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the British Pound Sterling and the Euro against the U.S. Dollar. The current exposures arise primarily from cash and payables and accruals denominated in the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. We have not hedged our foreign currency since the exposure has not been no material changesto our historical operating results. Based on our foreign currency exchange rate exposures at September 30, 2018, a hypothetical 10% adverse fluctuation in marketthe average exchange rate of the Euro or the British Pound Sterling would not have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our exposure to foreign exchange risk fromas a result of entering into transactions denominated in currencies other than the information provided in "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.U.S. Dollar.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timelines specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s or the SEC’s, rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 20172018 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
There have been no material updates to the legal proceedings as set forth in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and you should carefully consider them. Accordingly, in evaluating our business, we encourage you to consider the following discussion of risk factors, in addition to the risk factors set in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other information contained in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Other events that we do not currently anticipate or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Other than as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes to thein our risk factors describedfrom those disclosed in Part 1,I, Item 1A inof our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Top-line data may not accurately reflect the complete results of a particular study or trial.2017, other than as set forth below.
We may publicly disclose top-line or interim data from timeare exposed to time,fluctuations in the market values of our investments.
As of September 30, 2018, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $539.1 million. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities include money market funds and certificate of deposits, securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt securities and commercial paper meeting the criteria of our investment policy, which is based on a preliminary analysisprioritizes the preservation of then-available efficacy and safety data such as the top-line results we reported from Study 1, and the results and related findings and conclusionscapital. These investments are subject to change following a more comprehensive review ofgeneral credit, liquidity, market and interest rate risks, instability in the data related to the particular studyglobal financial markets, or trial. We also make assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data.other factors. As a result, the top-line results that we report may differ from future resultsvalue or liquidity of the same studies, or different conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been receivedour investments could decline and fully evaluated. Top-line data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, top-line data should be viewed with caution until the final data are available.
Further, others, including regulatory agencies, may not accept or agree with our assumptions, estimations, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh the importance of data differently,material impairment, which could impact the value of the particular program, the approvability or commercialization of the particular drug candidate or drug and our company in general. In addition, the information we may publicly disclose regarding a particular study or clinical trial is based on what is typically extensive information, and you or others may not agree with what we determine is the material or otherwise appropriate information to include in our disclosure, and any information we determine not to disclose may ultimately be deemed significant with respect to future decisions, conclusions, views, activities or otherwise regarding a particular drug, drug candidate or our business. If the top-line data that we report differ from actual results, or if others, including regulatory authorities, disagree with the conclusions reached, our ability to obtain approval for, and commercialize, our product candidates may be harmed, which could harm our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition.
Our success depends substantially on our only product candidate, ZX008. We cannot be certain that our product candidate will receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized.
We have only one product candidate in development, and our business depends substantially on its successful development and commercialization. Following the completion of the sale of our Zohydro ER business in April 2015, we have no drug products approved for sale, and we may not be able to develop marketable drug products in the future. Following the termination of the development and license agreement with Durect in August 2017, our sole product candidate is ZX008. ZX008, our sole product candidate, and any future product candidates, will require additional clinical, pre-clinical and manufacturing development, regulatory review and approval in multiple jurisdictions, substantial investment, access to sufficient commercial manufacturing capacity and significant marketing efforts before we can generate any revenues from product sales. The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, sale, marketing, distribution and promotion of drug products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries, whose regulations differ from country to country.
We are not permitted to market our product candidates in the United States until we receive approval of an NDA from the FDA, or in any foreign countries until we receive the requisite approval from the regulatory authorities of such countries, and we may never receive such regulatory approvals. Obtaining regulatory approval for a product candidate is a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, and may not be successful. Any failure to obtain regulatory approval of ZX008, or failure to obtain such approval for all of the indications and labeling claims we deem desirable, would limit our ability to generate future revenues, would potentially harm the development prospects of our ZX008 and would have a material and adverse impacteffect on our business.financial results and the availability of cash to fund our operations.

Item 5. Other Information
None.Erle T. Mast, a member of our Board of Directors and chair of our Audit Committee, served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Clovis Oncology, Inc., a public biopharmaceutical company, from its inception in April 2009 until his retirement in March 2016. As previously disclosed, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, had an ongoing investigation to determine whether Clovis violated federal securities laws in connection with its regulatory update announced in November 2015 that the FDA had requested additional clinical data on the efficacy and safety of a product under development by Clovis. On September 18, 2018, the SEC announced that it had reached an agreement with Clovis and certain of its executive officers, including Mr. Mast, to settle this matter on negligence based charges. Pursuant to the settlement, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Mr. Mast paid a civil penalty and disgorgement and agreed to a standard injunction against future violations of those provisions of the federal securities laws. The settlement agreement does not allege that Clovis or any of its current or former officers, including Mr. Mast, engaged in any intentional fraud or misconduct and it does not preclude Mr. Mast from continuing to serve as a director or officer of a public company.
