Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation
Zogenix, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company, we, us or our) is a global pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing transformative therapies to improve the lives of patients and their families living with rare diseases. Our primary area of therapeutic focus isWe are currently focused on developing and commercializing central nervous system (CNS) therapies to address rare or “orphan”orphan childhood-onset epilepsy disorders. Our lead product candidate, Fintepla (ZX008, fenfluramine) is currently being developed for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.syndrome (LGS). We operate in one business segment—the research, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products and our headquarters are located in Emeryville, California.
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 (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. 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 our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019.
Certain prior period amounts within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect our financial position, net loss, comprehensive loss, or cash flows as of and for the periods presented.
Future Funding Requirements
Excluding gains from two discrete business divestitures, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $731.2$768.9 million as of March 31,June 30, 2019. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as we continue to advance our product candidates through development and commercialization. Additionally, pursuant to our acquisition of Brabant Pharma Limited (Brabant) in 2014 to obtain worldwide development and commercialization rights to Fintepla, we are required to make additional payments to the former owners of Brabant in the event we achieve certain regulatory and sales milestones with Fintepla (See Note 5). Historically, we have relied primarily on the proceeds from equity offerings to finance our operations. Until such time, if ever, we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue to finance our cash requirements, we may need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels when needed, we may be required to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue one or more of theour product development programs or commercialization efforts or other aspects of our business plans, and our 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.
Revenue Recognition
We analyze our collaboration agreementsarrangements to assess whether such arrangements, or transactions between arrangement participants, involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities or are more akin to a vendor-customer relationship. In making this evaluation, we consider whether the activities of the collaboration are considered to be distinct and deemed to be within the scope of the collaborationcollaborative arrangement guidance and those that are more reflective of a vendor-customervendor-
customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of the revenue with contracts with customercustomers guidance. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement.
For elements of collaboration arrangements that are not accounted for pursuant to the revenue from contracts with customercustomers guidance, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, generally by analogy to the revenue from contracts with customers guidance. Revenue fromAmounts related to transactions with a counterparty in a collaborative arrangement that is not a customer are presented as collaboration participants is presented apartrevenue and on a separate line item from revenue withrecognized from contracts with customers, if any, in our condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations.
Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the related performance obligationefforts underlying the deferred revenue is expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months this will be classified in current liabilities. Unconditional rights to receive consideration in advance of performance are recorded as receivables and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when we have a contractual right to bill and receive the payment, performance is expected to commence shortly and there is less than a year between billing and performance. Amounts recognized for satisfied performance obligations prior to the right to payment becoming unconditional are recorded as contract assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If we expect to have an unconditional right to receive consideration in the next twelve months, this will be classified in current assets. A net contract asset or liability is presented for each contract with a customer.
For arrangements or transactions between arrangement participants determined to be within the scope of the contracts with customers guidance, we perform the following steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation.
At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifiesidentify those distinct goods and services that represent a performance obligation. A promised good or service may not be identified as a performance obligation if it is immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer, if it is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (either because it is not capable of being separated or because it is not separable in the context of the contract), or if the performance obligation does not provide the customer with a material right.
We consider the terms of the contract and our customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Variable consideration will only be included in the transaction price when it is not considered constrained, which is when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
If it is determined that multiple performance obligations exist, the transaction price is allocated at the inception of the agreement to all identified performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling prices.prices unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract. The relative selling price for each deliverableperformance obligation is estimated using objective evidencebased on observable prices if it is available. If objective evidence isobservable prices are not available, we use our best estimate of thestand-alone selling price for the deliverable.performance obligation utilizing the estimated cost of the performance obligation with an estimated assumed margin. Once the transaction price has been allocated to a performance obligation using the applicable methodology, it is not subject to reassessment for subsequent changes in stand-alone selling prices.
Revenue is recognized when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. An asset is transferred when, or as, the customer obtains control of that asset, which for a service, is considered to be as the servicesasset. For performance obligations that are received and used. Wesatisfied over time, we recognize revenue over time by measuring theusing an input or output measure of progress toward completethat best depicts our satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation using an appropriate inputobligation. Revenues from performance obligations associated with a purchase order of Fintepla will be recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which will occur at a point in time which may be upon shipment or output method based on the nature of the good or service promiseddelivery to the customer.
After contract inception, the transaction price is reassessed at every period end and updated for changes such as resolution of uncertain events. Any change in the overall transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations on the same basismethodology as at contract inception.
Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating revenue to be recognized. Judgment is required in identifying performance obligations, estimating the transaction price, estimating the stand-alone selling prices of
identified performance obligations, which may include forecasted revenue, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success, and estimating the progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our other significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of entering into a collaborative arrangement in March 2019 and the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we have updated our revenue recognition and lease accounting policies as detailed below. There were no other changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Notes 3 and 7 for additional details related to our collaborative arrangement and the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASUAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-18, CollaborationCollaborative Arrangements: Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (ASU 2018-18) makes targeted improvements for collaborative arrangements by (1) clarifying that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606the contract with customer guidance (Topic 606) when the collaborationcollaborative arrangement participant is a customer, (2) adding unit of account guidance to assess whether the collaborationcollaborative arrangement, or a part of the arrangement, is with a customer and (3) precluding a company from presenting transactions with collaborationcollaborative arrangement participants that are not directly related to sales to third parties together with revenue from contracts with customers.
On Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively as of the date of their initial application of Topic 606 and should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the later of (1) the earliest annual period presented and (2) the annual period that includes the date of the entity’s initial application of Topic 606. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We elected to early adopt this standard effective January 1, 2019 we early adopted this new standard and have applied its applicability has been consideredguidance to our arrangement entered into in the accounting for our collaborative arrangementMarch 2019 with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. (See Note 3). No retrospective adjustment to our condensed consolidated financial statements was required as a result of our application of these amendments.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. Additionally, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, a summary of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the consolidated balance sheets must be provided in a note or separate statement, and we have provided this disclosure beginning with the first quarter of 2019.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic(Topic 842). Topic 842 establishes a right-of-use asset model 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.
OnWe adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 we adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the package of practical expedients permitted under transition guidance. Consequently, prior period financial information and related disclosures have not been adjusted and will continue to be presented in accordance with the previous lease standard. In addition, we elected the package of transition provisions available for existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct lease costs for existing leases. We did not elect the practical expedient allowing the use-of-hindsight which would require us to reassess the lease term of our leases based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date and did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as this is not applicable to the current contract portfolio.
The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows (in thousands):

Upon adoption on January 1, 2019, we recorded operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities of $8.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively, with the difference between ROU assets and lease liabilities attributed to the reclassifications of deferred rent and lease incentive obligations, a cease-use liability and initial direct leasing costs as a component of ROU assets.
Prior to January 1, 2019, we recognized related rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Incentives granted under our operating lease, including allowances for leasehold improvements and rent holidays, were recognized as reductions to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent consisted of the difference between rent expense recognized on a straight-line basis and cash rent payments. Subsequent to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 and related amendments (collectively, Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, we determine whether the arrangement is or contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement and if such a lease is classified as a financing lease or operating lease at lease commencement. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Leases with a term greater than one year are included in operating lease right-of-use assets (ROU asset), current portion of lease liabilities, and lease liabilities, net of current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31,June 30, 2019. If a lease contains an option to renew, the renewal option is included in the calculation of lease liabilities if we are reasonably certain at lease commencement the renewal option will be exercised. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at an appropriate incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, or as of January 1, 2019, for our existing leases. Management uses judgment to estimate the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct lease costs, lease incentives, scheduled rent escalations and impairment charges if we determine the ROU asset is impaired. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We elected the post-transition practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all existing lease classes. We also elected a policy of not recording leases on our condensed balance sheets when a lease has a term of one year or less.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. Additionally, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, a summary of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the consolidated balance sheets must be provided in a note or separate statement. The final rule regarding stockholders’ equity was effective in the fourth quarter of 2018. The SEC provided relief on the effective date until the first quarter of 2019, and we have provided this disclosure beginning with this Quarterly Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost net of an allowance for estimated credit losses such that the net receivable represents the present value of expected cash collection. In addition, this standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost reflecting an allowance for estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the assets. The estimate of credit losses must be based on all relevant information including historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the amounts. This standard update is effective for us on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020 and are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related 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. We are currently evaluating the timing and effect that the updated standard will have on our 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. We are currently
evaluating the timing and effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3 – Collaborative Arrangement
In March 2019, we entered into an agreement (Shinyaku Agreement) with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. (Shinyaku) for the exclusive distribution of Fintepla in Japan for the treatment of Dravet syndrome and LGS. As part of the Shinyaku Agreement, we are responsible for completing the global clinical development and all regulatory approval activities for Fintepla to support the submission of new drug applications in Japan for Dravet syndrome and LGS. Shinyaku will be responsible for the commercialization activities including the promotion, marketing, sale and distribution of Fintepla in Japan. Upon regulatory approval of Fintepla in Japan, Shinyaku will also act as our exclusive distributor for commercial shipment and distribution of Fintepla in Japan. If we pursue a global development of Fintepla for indications other than Dravet syndrome or LGS, Shinyaku has the option to participate in the development for such indications in Japan, subject to cost sharing requirements pursuant to the agreement. Activities under the Shinyaku Agreement will be governed by a joint steering committee (JSC) consisting of three representatives from each party to the agreement. All decisions of the JSC are to be made by a unanimous vote with tie-breaking rights provided to each party for certain matters related to development, regulatory approval and commercialization.
Shinyaku has agreed to support development and regulatory approval of Fintepla in Japan by actively participating in the design of non-clinical, clinical and obtainmanufacturing requirements needed for regulatory submission, actively planning and participating in product labeling decisions and discussions with the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) and obtained distribution exclusivity through the payment of $20.0 million, of which $15.5 million was duereceived shortly after the execution of the agreement with the remainder payable over the next two years. We will be actively running the clinical trials, performing manufacturing validation activities, preparing regulatory filings and holding discussions with MHLW, and negotiating pricing. We and Shinyaku have agreed to proportionally share the Japan specific development costs that may arise outside of the initial development plan and any post-approval clinical study costs in Japan. In addition, we can earn up to $66.0 million from Shinyaku for the achievement of certain regulatory milestones related to the treatment of Dravet syndrome and the treatment of LGS.
After regulatory approval of Fintepla in Japan has been obtained, we have agreed to supply Shinyaku with Fintepla upon receipt of purchase orders at our actual manufacturing cost plus a fixed transfer price mark-up, a fixed percentage of Shinyaku's net sales of Fintepla in Japan for such fiscal year, and a net price mark-up based on a percent of the applicable aggregate sales of Fintepla by Shinyaku for such fiscal year. The net price mark-up percentage increases with Shinyaku’s sales of Fintepla annual net sales in Japan and ranges between mid-twenties and is capped at a low thirties of the aggregate annual net sales for an applicable fiscal year.
In addition, we can earn up to an additional $42.5 million tied to the achievement of certain net sales milestones by Shinyaku through the term of the agreement.
The Shinyaku Agreement expires in September of 2045, unless earlier terminated by either party for a change in control, a material breach, bankruptcy, dissolution, or winding up of such other party. The Shinyaku Agreement may be also terminated by either party: (1) with one year prior written notice to the other party on or after the date of the first commercial sale of a competing generic version of the Fintepla in Japan, (2) if, prior to the launch of the Fintepla in Japan, a party has a good faith concern, based on credible evidence, that such launch is not likely to be possible with commercially reasonable efforts, or (3) if a party believes Fintepla poses a substantial safety concern. We may also terminate the agreement following the second anniversary of the first commercial sale of the Fintepla in Japan if Shinyaku has failed to achieve or maintain certain diligence obligations under the Shinyaku Agreement. Shinyaku may also terminate the agreement if, prior to the launch of the Fintepla in Japan, Shinyaku has a good faith concern that Fintepla will not be commercially viable in Japan.
We concluded that collaborative activities under the Shinyaku Agreement prior to regulatory approval are within the scope of the collaborative arrangements guidance as both parties are active participants and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the success of commercializing Fintepla in Japan. Shinyaku is not a customer as it does not obtain an output of our development and regulatory approval activities for Fintepla as they were not provided a license to its intellectual property or the ability to manufacture the product, and we do not consider performing development and regulatory approval services to be a part of our ongoing activities.
We considered the revenue from contracts with customers guidance by analogy in determining the unit of account, and the recognition and measurement of such unit of account for collaborative activities under the Shinyaku Agreement and concluded that there are two development programs akin to performance obligations related to collaborative activities for development and regulatory approval efforts for Dravet and LGS. Participation on the JSC was concluded to be both quantitatively and qualitatively immaterial in the context of the Shinyaku Agreement.We are the principal as it relates to the collaborative development and regulatory approval activities primarily because we are responsible for the acceptability of the results of the work of the third-party vendors that are used to assist us in performing such activities. Therefore, such collaboration revenue has been presented on a gross basis in our condensed consolidated statements of operations apart from research and development expenses incurred.
The initial collaboration consideration allocated on a relative standalone selling price basis to each associated development program was determined using the most likely method to consist solely of the fixed consideration payments of $20.0 million. Analogizing to the revenue from contracts with customers variable consideration guidance, all potential regulatory milestone payment consideration will be included in the collaboration consideration if and when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative collaboration consideration recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable collaboration consideration is subsequently resolved. At contract inception and through June 30, 2019, this consideration was fully constrained as the achievement of the events tied to these regulatory milestone payments was highly dependent on factors outside our control.
Collaboration revenue is being recognized over time as the collaborative activities related to each development program are rendered. We determined an input method is a reasonable representative depiction of the performance of the collaborative activities under the Shinyaku Agreement. The method of measuring progress towards completion incorporates actual internal and external costs incurred, relative to total internal and external costs expected to be incurred over an estimated period to satisfy the collaborative activities. The period over which total costs are estimated reflects our estimate of the period over which it will perform the collaborative activities for each development program. We expect to recognize collaboration revenue for each development program over periods ranging from three to four years. Changes in estimates of total internal and external costs expected to be incurred are recognized in the period of change as a cumulative catch-up adjustment to collaboration revenue.
As of March 31,June 30, 2019, no performance for anywe had received $15.5 million out of the units of account under this agreement had occurred. Of the $20.0 million we have recorded our unconditional right to receive $15.5 million in advance of performance in accounts receivable with a corresponding amount in deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and thefixed consideration. The remaining $4.5 million will be billed in accordance with the terms of the agreement.agreement and will be recorded when there is an unconditional right to receive this payment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized collaboration revenue of $1.1 million. As of June 30, 2019, we recorded $14.4 million in deferred revenue, which is classified as either current or net of current portion in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the period over which the collaboration revenue is expected to be recognized. We have classified $5.0 millionexpect to recognize collaboration revenue related to these collaborative activities through the end of 2023.
We concluded that the supply of Fintepla to Shinyaku will be within the scope of the deferred revenue from contracts with customers guidance if regulatory approval in Japan occurs and when a purchase order is received from Shinyaku. Such activity is considered to be a vendor customer relationship as current.Shinyaku will be a party that has contracted with an us to obtain goods or services that are an output of our ordinary activities in exchange for consideration and selling approved commercial product to a customer is expected to be part of our ongoing activities. Each purchase order for a shipment of Fintepla will be identified as a separate performance obligation as we did not grant Shinyaku intellectual property rights. The remainingagreed upon price for the supply of Fintepla (cost plus a fixed transfer price mark-up, fixed percentage of aggregate sales of Fintepla by Shinyaku per year, the net price mark-up and sales milestones) to Shinyaku does not represent a material right, and therefore is not a performance obligation, and such pricing on an aggregate basis represents the standalone selling price a distributor would typically pay for such a product in that region or market. There are also no minimum purchase commitments. The transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligation will include the fixed consideration relatedassociated with the cost-plus price of Fintepla and variable consideration associated with a fixed percentage of aggregate sales of Fintepla by Shinyaku per year, the net price mark-up and sales milestones subject to this agreement was fully constrained at March 31, 2019.the constraint. As of June 30, 2019, Shinyaku has not provided us with any purchase orders and thus no revenue has been recognized for the supply of Fintepla.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A three-level valuation hierarchy has been established under GAAP for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined 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. |
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, contingent consideration liabilities and our outstanding common stock warrant liabilities. Certain cash equivalents, marketable securities, contingent consideration liabilities and common stock warrant liabilities are reported at their respective fair values on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining financial instruments are carried at cost which approximates their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The following tables summarize assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

(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 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. We estimated the fair value of the warrant liabilities using the Black-Scholes valuation model. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2019, 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 our common stock at an exercise price of $72.00 per share and expires in July 2021.
(3) In connection with a prior acquisition in 2014, we may be required to pay future contingent consideration upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory approval or sales-based milestone events. We 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 interest rates. Subsequent to the acquisition date, at each reporting period prior to settlement, we revalue 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 and risk-adjusted interest rates. 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 our 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 acquisition provides for aggregate contingent consideration of up to $95.0 million, of which $10.0 million was paid in March 2019. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities was $71.2$70.5 million, of which $22.8$34.8 million has been classified as current liabilities. The classification was based upon our reasonable expectation as to the timing of settlement of certain specified milestones.

Note 7 – Leases
We have two noncancellable operating leases consisting of administrative and research and development office space for our Emeryville, California headquarters and former headquarters in San Diego, California that expire in May 2027 and March 2020, respectively. Our Emeryville lease includes a renewal option for an additional five years, which werewas not included in our determination of the lease term under the legacy lease standard as renewal was not reasonably assured at the inception of the lease. As a result, we havethe renewal option to extend the lease was not considered the optional periodincluded in determining our ROU assets and lease liabilities. Our former headquarters has been subleased to an unrelated third party for the remainder of our original lease term. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, we do not have any material finance leases or service contracts with lease arrangements. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Note 8 – Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation
Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
In May 2019, our stockholders approved and we filed an amendment to our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000.
Equity Incentive Plans
We have issued stock-based awards from various equity incentive and stock purchase plans, as more fully described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Under our 2010 Equity Incentive Award Plan, which was amended in June 2012 (2010 Plan), the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued as stock-based awards may not exceed 7,500,000 shares. At December 31, 2018, 1,550,351 shares were available for grant under theour 2010 Plan.Equity Incentive Award Plan (2010 Plan). Pursuant to its evergreen provision, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan automatically increases on January 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2013, and on each January 1 through and including January 1, 2020, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year, or a lesser number of shares as determined by our board of directors. On January 1, 2019, the increase in shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the evergreen provision was limited to 589,619 shares as the 2010 Plan’s maximum 7,500,000 shares reserved for issuance was reached.
In May 2019, our stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our 2010 Plan (2010 Restated Plan), which provided an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under our 2010
Plan from 7,500,000 to 11,500,000 and an extension of the term of the 2010 Plan through March 2029. In addition, the 2010 Restated Plan eliminated the evergreen provision that provided for an annual increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2010 Plan on January 1 of each year discussed above. Following its approval, all future issuance of equity awards will be granted under the 2010 Restated Plan (other than the shares available for purchase under our 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan). As of March 31,June 30, 2019, 1,298,1075,226,029 shares were available for grantfuture issuance under the 2010 Restated Plan.
In 2013, our board of directors adopted the Inducement Plan, which allows us to grant equity awards only to new employees as an inducement material to join us. Effective March 27, 2019, our board of directors approved an increase to the share reserve under the Inducement Plan by 100,000 shares resulting in the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued as stock-based awards to 737,500 shares. As of March 31, 2019, there were 124,925 shares available for grant under the Inducement Plan.

Note 9 – Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss from continuing operations per share is calculated by dividing net loss from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss from continuing operations per share is calculated by dividing net loss from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period if the effect is dilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive shares of common stock include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase common stock.

Overview
We are a global pharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing transformative central nervous system (CNS) therapies for peopleto improve the lives of patients and their families living with serious and life-threatening rare CNS disorders and medical conditions.diseases. We are currently focused on developing and commercializing CNScentral nervous system (CNS) therapies to address rare or “orphan”orphan childhood-onset epilepsy disorders.
We currently own and control worldwide development and commercialization rights to Fintepla, our lead product candidate.candidate, other than in Japan where we have entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. (Shinyaku). Fintepla is low-dose fenfluramine under development for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and catastrophic forms of childhood-onset epilepsy: Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).
Key Development Programs
Fintepla (ZX008; Low-Dose Fenfluramine) for Patients with Dravet Syndrome
Dravet syndrome is a rare form of pediatric-onset epilepsy with life threatening consequences for patients and for which current treatment options are very limited. Fintepla has received orphan drug designation in the United States and the European Union (EU) for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. In addition, Fintepla for the treatment of Dravet syndrome received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2016. In September 2016, we initiated Part 1 of Study 1504, a two-part, double blind, randomized, two arm pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of Fintepla in Dravet syndrome patients who are taking stiripentol with valproate and/or clobazam as part of their baseline standard care. Part 1 investigated the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of Fintepla when co-administered with the stiripentol regimen (stiripentol with 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 Fintepla 0.5mg/kg/day (20mg/day maximum). Study 1504, a two-arm study, compared Fintepla versus placebo across the titration and 12-week maintenance periods at multiple sites located the Netherlands, United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain. In January 2018, we announced patient enrollment was complete at 87 patients, with 43 patients randomized into the Fintepla-arm and 44 patients randomized to the placebo arm.
In July 2018, we reported positive top-line results from Cohort 2 of Study 1504. The study results, which are consistent with those reported in Study 1, successfully met the primary objective of demonstrating that Fintepla, at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day, when co-administered with stiripentol regimen (stiripentol with valproate and/or clobazam), was 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 15-week treatment period (p<0.001). In the trial, Fintepla at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day also demonstrated statistically significant improvements versus placebo in all key secondary measures, the proportion of patients with clinically meaningful reductions in seizure frequency (50% or greater) and longest seizure-free interval. Fintepla 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 valvular heart disease (valvulopathy) or pulmonary hypertension.
Upon completion of our Fintepla Phase 3 trials, eligible patients were permitted to enroll in an ongoing OLEopen-label extension (OLE) trial to study the long-term safety and effectiveness of Fintepla (Study 1503). In December 2018, we presented interim data from Study 1503 regarding the effectiveness and overall safety of Fintepla observed in the study, including the long-term cardiovascular assessments and findings at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the AES.American Epilepsy Society. A total of 232 patients from Study 1503 were included in the interim analysis of the OLE trial. As of March 13, 2018, the interim cutoff date, the median duration of treatment with Fintepla was 256 days and the range was 58-634 days (equivalent to 161 patient-years of exposure to Fintepla). In this interim analysis population of 232 patients, a total of 22 (9.5%) patients had discontinued treatment for the following reasons: lack of efficacy (16), subject withdrawal (2), adverse event (1), SUDEPSudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) (1), physician decision (1), and withdrawal by caregiver (1). Approximately 90% of patients remained in the study at the time of the interim analysis. The median percent reduction in monthly convulsive seizure frequency over the entire OLE treatment period was 66.8% (compared with baseline frequency established in the core Phase 3 studies). Over the same period, 64.4% of children and young adults showed a >50% reduction in convulsive seizure frequency and 41.2% showed a >75% reduction.
The occurrence of adverse events was consistent with the Phase 3 placebo-controlled studies. The most common adverse events occurring in more than 10% of children and young adults were pyrexia (22%), nasopharyngitis (20%), decreased appetite (16%), influenza (12%), diarrhea (11%), and upper respiratory tract infection (10%). A total of 13.4% of children lost >7% body weight at some point during the trial; in 42% of those children weight loss abated during the period covered by the interim analysis. Over the course of the OLE treatment period included in the interim analysis, one patient died from SUDEP that was deemed unrelated to Fintepla. A total of 703 color doppler echocardiograms were performed to assess cardiovascular
health at baseline, week 4 or 6, and then every 3 months during the OLE trial. No patient developed valvular heart disease (valvulopathy) or pulmonary arterial hypertension at any time after daily treatment with Fintepla.
In February 2019, we completed our rolling submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA and submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Fintepla for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. The EMA has accepted the MAA and initiated its review and we anticipate an approvability decision could be reached by the EMA in the first quarter of 2020. Onreview.
In April 8, 2019, we received a Refusal to File (RTF) letter from the FDA regarding our NDA for Fintepla for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. Upon its preliminary review, the FDA determined that the NDA submitted in February 2019 was not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. In the RTF letter, the FDA cited two reasons for the RTF decision: first, certain non-clinical studies were not submitted to allow assessment of the chronic administration of fenfluramine; and, second, the application contained an incorrect version of a clinical dataset, which prevented the completion of the review process that is necessary to support the filing of the NDA. The FDA has not requested or recommended additional clinical efficacy or safety studies.
We expect to haveheld a Type A meeting with the FDA by early Junein May 2019 to help us clarify and respondreview the two issues identified in the RTF letter. Based on the final meeting minutes received, the FDA has agreed with our plan to resubmit the NDA for Fintepla without the inclusion of the new chronic toxicity studies requested in the RTF letter. With regards to the identified issues.second issue, we conducted and discussed with the FDA a root cause analysis identifying the issue with the incorrect clinical dataset submitted in the original NDA, and the FDA has requested that we include certain findings from our analysis in the resubmitted NDA. We intend to resubmit the NDA for Fintepla in the third quarter of 2019.
Fintepla for Patients with LGS
LGS is another rare, refractory, debilitating pediatric-onset epilepsy with life threatening consequences for patients and for which current treatment options are limited and suboptimal. Beginning in first quarter of 2016, we funded an open-label, dose-finding, investigator-initiated study of the effectiveness and tolerability of Fintepla 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 weeks of this Phase 2 clinical trial at the 70th Annual Meeting of the AES. In this interim analysis, Fintepla was observed to provide clinically meaningful improvement in major motor seizure frequency in patients with severe refractory LGS, with 7 out of 13 patients (54%) achieving at least a 50% reduction in the number of major motor seizures, at doses below the 0.8 mg/kg/day maximum allowed dose. In addition, Fintepla was generally well tolerated without any observed signs or symptoms of valvulopathy or pulmonary hypertension. We believe these data indicate that Fintepla has the potential to be a safe and effective adjunctive treatment of major motor 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 Application (IND) to the FDA to initiate a Phase 3 program of Fintepla in LGS. Our IND for Fintepla as a potential treatment for LGS became effective in April 2017. In the first half of 2017, Fintepla received orphan drug designation for the treatment of LGS from the FDA in the United States and the EMA in the EU.
Study 1601
In November 2017, we announced the initiation of our multicenter global Phase 3 clinical trial of Fintepla as an adjunctive treatment for seizures in patients with LGS (Study 1601). We remain on trackStudy 1601 is planned for up to complete patient85 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 Fintepla when added to a patient’s current anti-epileptic therapy. The trial will include two dose levels of Fintepla (0.2 mg/kg/day and 0.8 mg/kg/day, up to a maximum daily dose of 30 mg), as well 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. The primary endpoint of the clinical trial is change in the number of seizures that result in drops between baseline and the combined titration and maintenance periods at the 0.8 mg/kg/day dose compared to placebo. The key secondary endpoints include change in the number of drop seizures between baseline and the combined titration and maintenance periods at the 0.2 mg/kg/day dose, and the proportion of patients achieving a 50% reduction in drop seizures. Part 2 of the clinical trial will be a 12-month OLE to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of Fintepla. In July 2019, we completed enrollment for Study 1601 in the second halfwith a total of 2019 and263 randomized patients, with approximately 87 subjects per treatment arm. We expect top-line data from this study will be available in the first quarter of 2020.
Collaborative Arrangement with Nippon Shinyaku
In March 2019, we entered into an agreement (Shinyaku Agreement) with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd. (Shinyaku) for the exclusive distribution of Fintepla in Japan for the treatment of Dravet syndrome and LGS. As part of the Shinyaku Agreement, we are responsible for completing the global clinical development and all regulatory approval activities for Fintepla to support the submission of new drug applications in Japan for Dravet syndrome and LGS. Shinyaku will be responsible for the
commercialization activities including the promotion, marketing, sale and distribution of Fintepla in Japan. Upon regulatory approval of Fintepla in Japan, Shinyaku will also act as our exclusive distributor for commercial shipment and distribution of Fintepla in Japan. If we pursue a global development of Fintepla for indications other than Dravet syndrome or LGS, Shinyaku has the option to participate in the development for such indications in Japan, subject to cost sharing requirements pursuant to the agreement. Activities under the Shinyaku Agreement will be governed by a joint steering committee (JSC) consisting of three representatives from each party to the agreement. All decisions of the JSC are to be made by a unanimous vote with tie-breaking rights provided to each party for certain matters related to development, regulatory approval and commercialization.
Shinyaku has agreed to support development and regulatory approval of Fintepla in Japan by actively participating in the design of non-clinical, clinical and obtainmanufacturing requirements needed for regulatory submission, actively planning and participating in product labeling decisions and discussions with the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) and obtained distribution exclusivity through the payment of $20.0 million, of which $15.5 million was duereceived shortly after the execution of the agreement with the remainder payable over the next two years. We will be actively running the clinical trials, performing manufacturing validation activities, preparing regulatory filings and holding discussions with MHLW, and negotiating pricing. We and Shinyaku have agreed to proportionally share the Japan specific development costs that may arise outside of the initial development plan and any post-approval clinical study costs in Japan. In addition, we can earn up to $66.0 million from Shinyaku for the achievement of certain regulatory milestones related to the treatment of Dravet syndrome and the treatment of LGS.
After regulatory approval of Fintepla in Japan has been obtained, we have agreed to supply Shinyaku with Fintepla upon receipt of purchase orders at our actual manufacturing cost plus a fixed transfer price mark-up, a fixed percentage of Shinyaku's net sales of Fintepla in Japan for such fiscal year, and a net price mark-up based on a percent of the applicable aggregate sales of Fintepla by Shinyaku for such fiscal year. The net price mark-up percentage increases with Shinyaku’s sales of Fintepla annual net sales in Japan and ranges between mid-twenties and is capped at a low thirties of the aggregate annual net sales for an applicable fiscal year.
In addition, we can earn up to an additional $42.5 million tied to the achievement of certain net sales milestones by Shinyaku through the term of the agreement.
The Shinyaku Agreement expires in September of 2045, unless earlier terminated by either party for a change in control, a material breach, bankruptcy, dissolution, or winding up of such other party. The Shinyaku Agreement may be also terminated by either party: (1) with one year prior written notice to the other party on or after the date of the first commercial sale of a competing generic version of the Fintepla in Japan, (2) if, prior to the launch of the Fintepla in Japan, a party has a good faith concern, based on credible evidence, that such launch is not likely to be possible with commercially reasonable efforts, or (3) if a party believes Fintepla poses a substantial safety concern. We may also terminate the agreement following the second anniversary of the first commercial sale of the Fintepla in Japan if Shinyaku has failed to achieve or maintain certain diligence obligations under the Shinyaku Agreement. Shinyaku may also terminate the agreement if, prior to the launch of the Fintepla in Japan, Shinyaku has a good faith concern that Fintepla will not be commercially viable in the Japan.
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 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 consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: 1)(1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and 2)(2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of entering into a collaborative arrangementthe Shinyaku Agreement in March 2019 and the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we have updated our revenue recognition and lease accounting policies as detailed below. There were no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
We analyze our collaboration agreementsarrangements to assess whether such arrangements, or transactions between arrangement participants, involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities or are more akin to a vendor-customer relationship. In making this evaluation, we consider whether the activities of the collaboration are considered to be distinct and deemed to be within the scope of the collaborationcollaborative arrangement guidance and those that are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and, therefore, within the scope of the revenue with contracts with customercustomers guidance. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement.
For elements of collaboration arrangements that are not accounted for pursuant to the revenue from contracts with customercustomers guidance, an appropriate recognition method is determined and applied consistently, generally by analogy to the revenue from contracts with customers guidance. Revenue fromAmounts related to transactions with a counterparty in a collaborative arrangement that is not a customer are presented as collaboration participants is presented apartrevenue and on a separate line item from revenue withrecognized from contracts with customers, if any, in our condensed consolidated statementstatements of operations.
Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in ourthe condensed consolidated balance sheets. If the related performance obligationefforts underlying the deferred revenue is expected to be satisfied within the next twelve months this will be classified in current liabilities. Unconditional rights to receive consideration in advance of performance are recorded as receivables and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when we have a contractual right to bill and receive the payment, performance is expected to commence shortly and there is less than a year between billing and performance. Amounts recognized for satisfied performance obligations prior to the right to payment becoming unconditional are recorded as contract assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. If we expect to have an unconditional right to receive consideration in the next twelve months, this will be classified in current assets. A net contract asset or liability is presented for each contract with a customer.
For arrangements or transactions between arrangement participants determined to be within the scope of the contracts with customers guidance, we perform the following steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the
promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation.
At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised in a contract with a customer and identifiesidentify those distinct goods and services that represent a performance obligation. A promised good or service may not be identified as a performance obligation if it is immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer, if it is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (either because it is not capable of being separated or because it is not separable in the context of the contract), or if the performance obligation does not provide the customer with a material right.
We consider the terms of the contract and our customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. Variable consideration will only be included in the transaction price when it is not considered constrained, which is when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
If it is determined that multiple performance obligations exist, the transaction price is allocated at the inception of the agreement to all identified performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling prices.prices unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to one or more, but not all, performance obligations in the contract. The relative selling price for each deliverableperformance obligation is estimated using objective evidencebased on observable prices if it is available. If objective evidence isobservable prices are not available, we use our best estimate of thestand-alone selling price for the deliverable.performance obligation utilizing the estimated cost of the performance obligation with an estimated assumed margin. Once the transaction price has been allocated to a performance obligation using the applicable methodology, it is not subject to reassessment for subsequent changes in stand-alone selling prices.
Revenue is recognized when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. An asset is transferred when, or as, the customer obtains control of that asset, which for a service, is considered to be as the servicesasset. For performance obligations that are received and used. Wesatisfied over time, we recognize revenue over time by measuring theusing an input or output measure of progress toward completethat best depicts our satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation using an appropriate inputobligation. Revenues from performance obligations associated with a purchase order of Fintepla will be recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which will occur at a point in time which may be upon shipment or output method based on the nature of the good or service promiseddelivery to the customer.
After contract inception, the transaction price is reassessed at every period end and updated for changes such as resolution of uncertain events. Any change in the overall transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations on the same basismethodology as at contract inception.
Management may be required to exercise considerable judgment in estimating revenue to be recognized. Judgment is required in identifying performance obligations, estimating the transaction price, estimating the stand-alone selling prices of identified performance obligations, which may include forecasted revenue, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success, and estimating the progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations.
Leases
Prior to January 1, 2019, we recognized related rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Incentives granted under our operating lease, including allowances for leasehold improvements and rent holidays, were recognized as reductions to rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Deferred rent consisted of the difference between rent expense recognized on a straight-line basis and cash rent payments. Subsequent to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02 and related amendments (collectively, Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, we determine whether the arrangement is or contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement and if such a lease is classified as a financing lease or operating lease at lease commencement. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Leases with a term greater than one year are included in operating lease right-of-use assets (ROU asset), current portion of lease liabilities, and lease liabilities, net of current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31,June 30, 2019. If a lease contains an option to renew, the renewal option is included in the calculation of lease liabilities if we are reasonably certain at lease commencement the renewal option will be exercised. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at an appropriate incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, or as of January 1, 2019, for our existing leases. Management uses judgment to estimate the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct lease costs, lease incentives, scheduled rent escalations and impairment charges if we determine the ROU asset is impaired. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We elected the post-transition practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all existing lease classes. We also elected a policy of not recording leases on our condensed balance sheets when a lease has a term of one year or less.

We currently do not have an approved product for sale. Collaboration revenue increased from prior periods as a result of our Shinyaku Agreement entered into in March 2019 and related performance of such collaboration activities under the agreement. We may also be entitled to receive additional milestone payments pursuant to the Shinyaku Agreement upon the occurrence of specific events. Due to the recognition of this collaboration revenue is based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion when measuring progress and the uncertainty of when the events underlying various milestones are resolved, we expect our collaboration revenue will fluctuate from period to period.

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 (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.

(1) Other research and development expenses include employee and infrastructure resources that are not tracked on a program-by-program basis, as well as pre-clinical development costs incurred for other product candidates.
In October 2014, we acquired worldwide development and commercialization rights to Fintepla through a business acquisition and have since incurred significant expenditures related to conducting clinical trials of Fintepla. Research and development expenses related to Fintepla for Dravet syndrome decreased by $4.2 million and $8.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in 2018 primarily due to wind-down of clinical activities withinrelated to our Phase 3 trials Study 11501 and Study 1504. R&DResearch and development spend related to Fintepla for LGS increased by $3.3$2.5 million and $5.8 million in the same year-over-year periods, respectively, reflecting the progression and expansion of our clinical trial activities within Study 1601, which was initiated in November 2017. Other research and development expenses increased by $2.3$2.1 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to personnel-related costs from headcount additions.

Selling expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits of sales and marketing management and market research expenses for product candidates that are in development. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, business development and internal support functions. In addition, general and administrative expenses include professional fees for legal, consulting and accounting services.
Selling expense increased by $1.5$5.3 million and $6.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019June 30, 2019. respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in 2018 and was primarily attributable to increased personnel-related costs as a result of headcount additions as well as increased marketing programs and projects in preparation for the potential approval and commercialization of Fintepla for Dravet syndrome.
General and administrative expense increased by $1.4$1.6 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same period in 2018 and was primarily attributable to increased personnel-related costs.costs, including stock-based compensation and professional services.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

The contingent consideration liability relates to milestone payments under an existing agreement in connection with our prior acquisition of Fintepla. 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.
For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our remaining contingent consideration liabilities netdecreased by $0.7 million as a result of having to resubmit our February 2019 NDA for Fintepla for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome, which resulted in a development milestone paymentslight adjustment to our projected FDA approval timelines. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of $10.0 million made during the period,our contingent consideration liabilities increased by $3.0 million. The increase was$2.3 million primarily due to the inclusion of sales in Japan in our forecast associated with the execution of the Shinyaku Agreement, which accelerated the estimated timing of when certain sales milestones will be reached, and a market driven decrease in the discount rate.

The decrease in other income, net for three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily attributable to $3.0 million of other income recognized in the prior year periods related to our U.K.’s small and medium-sized enterprise and research and development tax credit regime for qualifying expenditures incurred in the 2015 tax year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Excluding gains from two discrete business divestitures, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. We had an accumulated deficit of $731.2$768.9 million at March 31,June 30, 2019. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations to advance our product candidates through development and commercialization. Additionally, upon acceptance of our regulatory submission for Fintepla by the FDA and regulatory approval of Fintepla by the FDA or EMA, if at all, we will owe milestone payments under an existing agreement in connection with our prior acquisition of Fintepla. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, we have a single contract with a customerderive collaboration revenue from our Shinyaku Agreement related to research, development and commercialization activities for Fintepla in Japan. We do not know when, or if,
we will generate any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate significant revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize Fintepla. To date, the Company haswe have relied primarily on the proceeds from equity offerings to finance itsour operations.
As of March 31,June 30, 2019, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $480.7$463.0 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 Fintepla 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 Fintepla 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 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.

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 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than as set forth below:
On April 12, 2019, a plaintiff stockholder filed a class action lawsuit against us and certain of our executive officers alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California captioned Lake v. Zogenix, Case No. 3:19-cv-01975-RS. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of investors who purchased our stock between February 6, 2019 and April 8, 2019, and alleges that certain statements made during this period regarding the prospects for our New Drug Application for Fintepla were false or misleading. The plaintiff seeks damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other unspecified equitable relief. We and our executive officers believe the claims alleged in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than as set forth below.
Our success depends substantially on our only product candidate in development, Fintepla. We cannot be certain that Fintepla or our product candidates will receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized.
We have only one product candidate in clinical development, Fintepla, and our business depends substantially on its successful development and commercialization. We currently have no drug products approved for sale, and we may not be able to develop marketable drug products in the future. Fintepla and our product candidates will require additional clinical and pre-clinical 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 a 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. In February 2019, we completed our rolling submission of a NDA with the FDA and submitted a MAA to the EMA for Fintepla for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. The EMA has accepted the MAA and initiated its review. However, on April 5, 2019, we received a RTF letter from the FDA regarding our NDA for Fintepla for the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome. The RTF letter provided the FDA’s determination that the NDA, as submitted on February 5, 2019, was not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review of the NDA. In the RTF letter, the FDA cited two reasons for the RTF decision: first, certain non-clinical studies were not submitted to allow assessment of the chronic administration of fenfluramine; and, second, the application contained an incorrect version of a clinical dataset, which prevented the completion of the review process that is necessary to support the filing of the NDA. The FDA did not request or recommend in the RTF letter that we conduct any additional clinical efficacy or safety studies; however the FDA may determine later to require us to conduct additional non-clinical or clinical studies or may otherwise impose other requirements to be completed before or after approval of the NDA. studies.
We plan to meet and workheld an Type A meeting with the FDA in May 2019 to help us clarify and respondreview the two issues identified in the RTF letter. Based on the final meeting minutes received, the FDA has agreed with our plan to resubmit the NDA for Fintepla without the inclusion of the new chronic toxicity studies requested in the RTF letter. With regards to the identified issues. second issue, we conducted and discussed with the FDA a root cause analysis identifying the issue with the incorrect clinical dataset submitted in the original NDA, and the FDA has requested that we include certain findings from our analysis in the resubmitted NDA. We intend to resubmit the NDA for Fintepla in the third quarter of 2019. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we be able to adequately address the issues raised to FDA’s satisfaction or that the FDA will accept the resubmitted Fintepla NDA for filing, or that the FDA will ultimately approve our NDA following a substantive review. The FDA may determine later to require us to conduct additional non-clinical or clinical studies or may otherwise impose other requirements to be completed before or after approval of the NDA. In addition, the RTF letter could cause potential delays by the EMA on an approvability decision, or otherwise negatively affect such decision. 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 Fintepla or our product candidates, 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 Fintepla and would have a material and adverse impact on our business.
Even if we successfully obtain regulatory approvals to market our product candidates, our revenues will be dependent, in part, on our ability to commercialize such products as well as the size of the markets in the territories for which we gain regulatory approval. If the markets for our product candidates are not as significant as we estimate, our business and prospects will be harmed.
Any breakthrough therapy designation that we may receive from the FDA for our product candidates may not lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process, and it does not increase the likelihood that our product candidates will receive marketing approval.
In February 2018, the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation for Fintepla in the United States for the treatment of Dravet syndrome. The FDA has subsequently rescinded this breakthrough therapy designation because there are now two approved therapies for the disease and, therefore, the administrative criteria for designation are no longer met. A breakthrough therapy is defined as a drug that is intended, alone or in combination with one or more other drugs, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition, and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints. For drugs that have been designated as breakthrough therapies, interaction and communication between the FDA and the sponsor of the trial can help to identify the most efficient path for clinical development while minimizing the number of patients placed in ineffective control regimens. Drugs designated as breakthrough therapies by the FDA are also eligible for accelerated approval. Designation as a breakthrough therapy is within the discretion of the FDA. Accordingly, even if we believe one of our product candidates meets the criteria for designation as a breakthrough therapy, the FDA may disagree and instead determine not to make such designation. We cannot be sure that any evaluation we may make of our product candidates as qualifying for breakthrough therapy designation will meet the FDA’s expectations. In any event, the receipt of a breakthrough therapy designation for a product candidate may not result in a faster development process, review or approval compared to drugs considered for approval under conventional FDA procedures and does not assure ultimate approval by the FDA. In addition, even if one or more of our product candidates qualify as breakthrough therapies, the FDA may later decide that such product candidates no longer meet the conditions for qualification such as the case with Fintepla in the United States for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, or decide that the time period for FDA review or approval will not be shortened. While we do not expect the rescission of breakthrough therapy designation to limit the potential for receiving priority review status for our planned resubmitted NDA for Fintepla, the FDA may not grant priority review status which would result in a longer review period for the NDA.
We are dependent on numerous third parties in our manufacturing supply chain, all of which are currently single source suppliers, for the clinical supply of Fintepla, and if we experience problems with any of these suppliers, the development of Fintepla could be delayed.
We outsource all manufacturing and packaging of the clinical trial materials for Fintepla to third parties. For example, in February 2019, we entered into a master supply agreement with Aptuit (Oxford) Limited, an Evotec company (Aptuit), pursuant to which Aptuit will be our commercial manufacturer and supplier of the fenfluramine active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). In addition, in July 2019 we entered into supply agreement with Penn Pharmaceutical Services Limited, trading as PCI Pharma Services (PCI Pharma), pursuant to which PCI Pharma will be our commercial manufacturer and supplier for Fintepla. Fintepla, if approved, would require to complete process validation under FDA regulations, for which there can be no assurance of success. We may never be able to establish additional sources of supply for Fintepla.
Suppliers, including Aptuit and PCI Pharma, are subject to regulatory requirements covering, among other things, testing, quality control and record keeping relating to our product candidate, and are subject to ongoing inspections by regulatory agencies. Failure by any of our suppliers to comply with applicable regulations may result in long delays and interruptions, and increase our costs, while we seek to secure another supplier who meets all regulatory requirements, including obtaining regulatory approval to utilize the new supplier. Accordingly, the loss of any of our current suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Reliance on suppliers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we manufactured our product candidate ourselves, including:
•reliance on the third parties for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;
•the possible breach of the manufacturing agreements by the third parties because of factors beyond our control or the insolvency of any of these third parties or other financial difficulties, labor unrest, natural disasters or other factors adversely affecting their ability to conduct their business; and
•the possibility of termination or non-renewal of the agreements by the third parties, at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us, because of our breach of the manufacturing agreement or based on their own business priorities.
If our contract manufacturers or suppliers are unable to provide the quantities of our product candidate required for our clinical trials and, if approved, for commercial sale, on a timely basis and at commercially reasonable prices, and we are unable to find one or more replacement manufacturers or suppliers capable of production at a substantially equivalent cost, in substantially equivalent volumes and quality, and on a timely basis, we would likely be unable to meet demand for our products and would have to delay or terminate our pre-clinical or clinical trials, and we would lose potential revenue. It may also take a significant period of time to establish an alternative source of supply for our products, product candidates and components and to have any such new source approved by the FDA or any applicable foreign regulatory authorities. Furthermore, any of the above factors could cause the delay or suspension of initiation or completion of clinical trials, regulatory submissions or required approvals of our product candidates, cause us to incur higher costs and could prevent us from commercializing our product candidates successfully.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict.
Our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future, which makes it difficult for us to predict our future operating results. From time to time, in addition to the existing agreement with Nippon Shinyaku Co., Ltd.,Agreement, we may enter into collaborative arrangements with other companies that include development funding and significant upfront and milestone payments and/or royalties, which may become an important source of our revenue. Accordingly, our revenue may depend on development funding and the achievement of development and clinical milestones under current and any potential future collaborative arrangements and sales of our products, if approved. Furthermore, revenues may consist of the recognition of deferred revenue from upfront, nonrefundable payments that we received from Shinyaku or payments we may receive under future collaboration agreements and the timing of recognizing deferred revenue is subject to significant management judgments, including estimating total costs at completion. These upfront and milestone payments may vary significantly from period to period and any such variance could cause a significant fluctuation in our operating results from one period to the next. As a result, any period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
The United Kingdom’s proposed withdrawal from the European Union may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business, which could reduce the price of our common stock.
We are a company with worldwide operations, including significant business operations in Europe, and our wholly owned subsidiary Zogenix Europe Limited is incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Following a national referendum in which a majority of voters in the United Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union, the government of the United Kingdom formally initiated the process for withdrawal in March 2017. The terms of any withdrawal are subject to a complex and ongoing negotiation between the United Kingdom and the European Union whose result and timing remain unclear and which has created significant political and economic uncertainty about the future trading relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union in the event of a withdrawal, particularly in light of the possibility that an immediate, so-called “no deal” withdrawal could occur without a negotiated agreement.
These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates and credit ratings have been and may continue to be subject to increased market volatility. Lack of clarity about future United Kingdom laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate in the event of a withdrawal, including financial laws and regulations, tax and free trade agreements, tax and customs laws, intellectual property rights, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, immigration laws, employment laws and transport laws could increase costs, disrupt supply chains, depress economic activity and restrict our access to capital.
If the United Kingdom and the European Union are unable to negotiate acceptable withdrawal terms, barrier-free access between the United Kingdom and other European Union member states or among the European economic area overall could be diminished or eliminated. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, affect our strategy in the European pharmaceutical market. and reduce the price of our common stock.
