RECRO PHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

(1)

Background

Recro Pharma, Inc., or the Company, (the “Company”) was incorporated in Pennsylvania on November 15, 2007. The Company is a pharma services and pharmaceutical company that operates through two business segments: a revenue-generatingleading contract development and manufacturing or CDMO, segmentorganization (“CDMO”) with integrated solutions for the development, formulation, regulatory support, manufacturing, and an Acute Care segment. Eachpackaging of these segments are deemed to be reportable segments (see Note 3(m)oral solid dose drug products. It leverages its formulation and Note 18). The CDMO segment leverages the Company’s formulationdevelopment expertise to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products using the Company’s proprietary delivery technologies and know-how for commercial partners who commercialize or plan to commercialize these products andproducts. The Company operates in 1 segment.

In November 2019, the Company’s former Acute Care segment develops proprietary product candidates including intravenous, or IV, Meloxicam,business, which developed products for whichhospital and other acute care settings, was spun-out through its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Baudax Bio, Inc. (“Baudax Bio”) when the Company is pursuing resolutioncompleted a special dividend distribution of a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, received fromall the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regarding the New Drug Application, or NDA, for IV meloxicam. On October 31, 2019, the Company announced that it had received a written decision from the FDA grantingoutstanding shares of common stock of Baudax Bio to its appeal of the Complete Response Letter relatingshareholders. See note 3 to the NDA seeking approvalconsolidated financial statements for IV meloxicam.  See Note 23.

In April 2019, after receipt of the second CRL for IV meloxicam, the Company announced it had implemented a strategic restructuring initiative, and corresponding reduction in the Acute Care segment workforce, aimed at reducing operating expenses, while maintaining key personnel needed to obtain FDA approval and advance IV meloxicam.  The Company anticipates the completion ofadditional information about the spin-off of its Acute Care business into a standalone, publicly-traded company, Baudax Bio, Inc. (Baudax Bio), to Recro shareowners by the end of the fourth quarter 2019.  See Note 22.

Development-Stage Risks and Liquidity

Bio.

The Company has incurred net losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $197,374$220,587 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019. Although its CDMO segment has been profitable,2020, which is mostly related to activities that are presented as discontinued operations as a result of the Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time when its development costs are reduced and/or alternative structures have been put in place for its Acute Care product candidates. Additional financing may be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to repay the principal on its debt.spin-off of Baudax Bio. The Company may raise such capital through debt refinancing, bank or other loans, sale of assets, spin-off transactions, strategic research and development, licensing and/or through public or private sales of equity or debt securities from time to time. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact the Company’s growth plans and its financial condition or results of operations. Additional equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to the holders of its common stock and may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to operate its business. The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on a combination of factors, including (i) the continued profitability of the CDMO segment; (ii) the timely and successful completion of additional financing and/or alternative sources of capital, debt, spin-off transactions, or out-licensing transactions; (iii) the development of competitive therapies by other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies; and, ultimately, (iv) regulatory approval and market acceptance of the Company’s proposed future products, including IV meloxicam.its manufacturing operations. Management believes that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.issued.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

 

(a)

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or (“U.S. GAAP,GAAP”) for interim financial information andinformation. In accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of theSEC rules for interim financial statements, certain information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements.may be condensed or omitted. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s results for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.2020.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019.


 

(b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and the notes to the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash in banks and highly liquid short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired. These highly liquid short-term investments are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near to their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of the changes in interest rates.


 

(d)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: three to ten years for furniture, office and officecomputer equipment; six to ten or more years for manufacturing equipment; two to five years for vehicles; 35 to 40 years for buildings; and the shorter of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Business Combinations

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” or ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired companies to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Valuations are performed to assist in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, in particular with respect to intangible assets. Management makes estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and expectations of future cash flows. Transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the transaction are expensed as incurred. In-process research and development, or IPR&D, is the value assigned to those projects for which the related products have not received regulatory approval and have no alternative future use. Determining the portion of the purchase price allocated to IPR&D requires the Company to make significant estimates. In a business combination, the Company capitalizes IPR&D as an intangible asset, and for an asset acquisition the Company expenses IPR&D in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on the acquisition date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired by the Company. Goodwill is not amortized but assessed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The impairment model prescribes a one-step method for determining impairment.

The one-step quantitative test calculates the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

Intangible assets include the Company’s royalties and contract manufacturing relationships intangible asset as well as an IPR&D asset.assets. The royalties and contract manufacturing relationships intangible asset is considered a definite-lived intangible asset and is amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of six years.


Intangible assets relatedyears. The Company is required to IPR&D are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and are assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the associated research and development effort is abandoned, the related assets will be written-off, and the Company will record a noncash impairment loss on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For those compounds that reach commercialization, the IPR&D assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets is a one-step test, which compares the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value. Ifreview the carrying value exceeds its fair value,of definite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Based on accounting standards, it is required that these assetsasset or asset group may not be assessed at least annually for impairment unless a triggering event occurs between annual assessments, which would then require an assessment in the period which a triggering event occurred.recoverable.

The Company performs its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of November 30th, or whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would require reassessment of the recoverability of those assets.goodwill. In performing the evaluation, the Company assesses qualitative factors such as overall financial performance, of its reporting units, anticipated changes in industry and market conditions, including recent tax reform, intellectual property protection, market, regulatory and financing risks and competitive environments. Due to the receipt of the CRL in March 2019, an indicator of potential impairment, theThe Company performed anits last annual impairment test as of March 31, 2019, which indicated that there was no impairment to goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. There have been no additional triggering events as of September 30, 2019.  The Company will perform its annual test as of November 30, 2019.

Since the last annual test, the Company has only identified the ongoing novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic as a potential indicator of impairment. The Company has performed periodic interim impairment testing that has resulted in 0 impairment of goodwill or other assets. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from manufacturing, packaging, research and development and related services for multiple pharmaceutical companies through its CDMO segment.companies. The agreements that the Company has with its commercial partners provide for manufacturing revenues, sales-based royalties and/or profit-sharing components.  The Company’s

Manufacturing revenue policies listed below are reflective of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” or ASU 2014-09, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2018.

Manufacturing and other related services revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer, generally upon shipment, based on a transaction price that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to as specified in the agreement with the commercial partner, which could include pricing and volume-based adjustments.

Royalty Revenue

In addition to manufacturing and packaging revenue, certain customer agreements may have intellectual property sales-based royalties and/or profit-sharing consideration, collectively referred to as royalties, computed on the net product sales of the commercial partner. Royalty revenues are generally recognized under the terms of the applicable license, development and/or supply agreement. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties where the license for intellectual property is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue when the related sales occur by the commercial partner. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties where the license for intellectual property is not deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the manufactured product. In these cases, significant judgment is required to calculate this estimated variable consideration using


the most-likely amount method based on historical customer pricing and deductions and is partially constrained due to items that are outside of the Company’s control including the uncertainty of the timing of future commercial partner sales, mix of volume, customer stocking and ordering patterns, as well as unforeseen price adjustments made by the Company’s commercial partners.

Research and Development

Revenues related to researchResearch and development revenue includes services associated with formulation, process development, CTM services, as well as custom development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods for our CDMO segmenta customer’s non-clinical, clinical and commercial products. Such revenues are generally recognized over-time asat a point in time or over time depending on the related services or activities are performed using the output methodnature and in accordanceparticular facts and circumstances associated with the contract terms.

In agreements whichcontracts that specify milestones, the Company evaluates whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. Milestone payments related to arrangements under which the Company haswe have continuing performance obligations would be deferred and recognized over the period of performance. Milestone payments that are not within theour control, of the Company, such as submission for approval to regulators by a commercial partner or approvals from regulators, are not considered probable of being achieved until those submissions are submitted by the customer or approvals are received.received.

In contracts that require revenue recognition over time, the Company utilizes input or output methods, depending on the specifics of the contract, that compare the cumulative work-in-process to date to the most current estimates for the entire performance obligation. Under these contracts, the customer typically owns the product details and process, which have no alternative use. These projects are customized to each customer to meet its specifications and typically only one performance obligation is included. Each project represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The customer also retains control of its product as the product is being created or enhanced by the Company’s services and can make changes to its process or specifications upon request.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company manages its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments based on established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities to maintain safety and liquidity.


The Company’s accounts receivable balances are primarily concentrated amongst four customers and ifamong 4 customers. If any of these customers’ receivable balances should be deemed uncollectible, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s CDMO segmentCompany is dependent on its relationships with a small number of commercial partners, with its four4 largest customers having generated 96% and 97%95% or more of its revenues for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.the periods presented. A portion of the Company’s revenues isare dependent on U.S. based customers selling to end-users outside the United States.

 

(i)(h)

Research and Development

Research and development costs for the Company’s proprietary products/product candidates are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of funds paid to third parties for the provision of services for pre-commercialization and manufacturing scale-up activities, drug development, pre-clinical activities, clinical trials, statistical analysis and report writing and regulatory filing fees and compliance costs. At the end of the reporting period, the Company compares payments made to third-party service providers to the estimated progress toward completion of the research or development objectives. Such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Depending on the timing of payments to the service providers and the progress that the Company estimates has been made as a result of the service provided, the Company may record net prepaid or accrued expenses relating to these costs.

Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties who perform research and development services on the Company’s behalf are expensed as services are rendered. Costs incurred in obtaining product technology licenses are charged to research and development expense as acquired IPR&D if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use.

Stock-Based AwardsStock-based Compensation Expense

The Company measures employee stock-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Determining the appropriate fair value of stock options requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option and expected stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and/or management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.awards.

The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future stock option exercise patterns, and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified methodwhich is


based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses the historical volatility of ourits publicly traded stock in order to estimate future stock price trends. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option.option.

Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock units, the holder may elect to cover tax withholdings by forfeiting shares of an equivalent value. In such cases, the Company issues net new shares to the holder, pays the tax withholding on behalf of the participant and presents the payment similar to a capital distribution as both a reduction to additional paid-in-capital and a financing cash outflow in the consolidated financial statements.

For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each separated vesting tranche of the award, which is known as the accelerated attribution method. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.revised.

 

(k)(i)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A full valuation allowance was recorded as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Unrecognized income tax benefits represent income tax positions taken on income tax returns that have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit is recognized. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in the amount of unrecognized income tax benefits over the next year.

NetIncome or Loss Per Common Share

Basic netincome or loss per common share is determined by dividing net income or loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.

For all periods presented,purposes of calculating diluted income or loss per common share, the numerator and denominator of basic income or loss per share are adjusted to eliminate the income or loss and the dilutive effects on shares, respectively, caused by outstanding common stock options, warrants and unvested restricted stock units, have been excluded fromusing the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average common shares outstanding and the number of commontreasury stock equivalentsmethod, if the inclusion of such common stock equivalentsinstruments would be dilutive.

There arewere no dilutive common stock equivalentsdifferences in the basic and diluted calculations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 because the Company reported net losses for those periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” or ASU 2018-07. ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new guidance expands the scope of ASC 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation” to include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. The guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued, but not before an entity adopts ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The Company adopted this guidance effective June 30, 2018. There was no impact upon adoption.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Stock Compensation – Scope of Modification Accounting” or ASU 2017-09.  ASU 2017-09 provides guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an


entity to apply modification accounting. The new standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2018. There was no impact upon adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment,” or ASU 2017-04. ASU 2017-04 allows companies to apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The amendments of the ASU are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2018 and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 establishes a wholesale change to lease accounting and introduces a lease model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. It also eliminates the required use of bright-line tests in current U.S. GAAP for determining lease classification. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which provides an alternative transition method permitting the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment on the date of adoption rather than restating comparative periods in transition as originally prescribed by Topic 842. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019. The Company elected the optional transition method to account for the impact of the adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. The Company opted to elect the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs, and certain other practical expedients, including the use of hindsight to determine the lease term for existing leases and in assessing impairment of the right-of-use asset, and the exception for short-term leases. For its current classes of underlying assets, the Company did not elect the practical expedient under which the lease components would not be separated from the nonlease components. At January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset of $1,866 and an operating lease liability of $1,947. For additional information regarding how the Company is accounting for leases under the new guidance, refer to Note 13 (d).

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 represents a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model that replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed. In January 2018, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. See Note 19 for additional information on the impact of the transition on the Company’s financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements, including the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The2019. On January 1, 2020, the Company is currently evaluating the potentialadopted this standard which did not have any impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a range of reasonable information to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2022, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisition of Gainesville Facility and MeloxicamDiscontinued Operations

On April 10, 2015,November 21, 2019 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the Gainesville Transaction. The consideration paid in connection withseparation (the “Separation”) of its former Acute Care business by distributing to the Gainesville Transaction consistedCompany’s shareholders on a pro rata basis all of $50,000 cash at closing, a $4,000 working capital adjustmentthe issued and a seven-year warrantoutstanding common stock of Baudax Bio, the entity the Company incorporated to purchase 350,000hold such businesses. To effect the Separation, the Company distributed to its shareholders 1 share of Baudax Bio common stock for every 2.5 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise priceoutstanding as of $19.46 per share. In addition,November 15, 2019, the record date for the distribution. Fractional shares of Baudax Bio common stock that otherwise would have been distributed were aggregated and sold into the public market and the proceeds distributed to the Company’s shareholders. Additionally, in connection with the


Separation, the Company may be requiredcontributed $19,000 of cash to pay upBaudax Bio, the Company retained significant net operating loss carryforwards, and the Company was released from significant milestone and royalty payment obligations.

The accounting requirements for reporting the Separation of Baudax Bio as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented reflect this business as a discontinued operation.

In connection with the Separation, the Company and Baudax Bio entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for their relationship after the Separation, including a transition services agreement, an additional $125,000employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and an intellectual property matters agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between the Company and Baudax Bio of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at, and after Baudax Bio’s separation from the Company and govern certain relationships between the Company and Baudax Bio after the Separation.

The historical consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations of the Company and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements have been presented as discontinued operations in milestone paymentsthe consolidated financial statements and prior periods have been recast. Discontinued operations include results of the Company’s Acute Care business except for certain corporate overhead costs and certain costs associated with transition services provided by Baudax Bio to the Company, following the Separation, which are included in continuing operations.

The Separation and Distribution Agreement with Baudax Bio sets forth, among other things, the assets that were transferred, the liabilities assumed, and the contracts that were assigned to each of Baudax Bio and the Company as part of the Separation of the Company into two companies, and provided for when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments were to occur.

The tax matters agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Baudax Bio and the Company with respect to taxes (including taxes arising in the ordinary course of business and taxes, if any, incurred as a result of any failure of the Distribution and certain related transactions to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes), tax attributes, uncertain tax positions, tax returns, tax proceedings and certain other tax matters.

The employee matters agreement governs certain compensation and employee benefit obligations and allocates liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and other related matters, including $45,000 upon regulatory approvalthe transfer or assignment of injectable meloxicam, as well as net sales milestones relatedemployees from the Company to injectable meloxicamBaudax Bio.

As of December 31, 2019, certain current liabilities of discontinued operations remained on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to timing of payment, which consisted of $22 of accounts payable and $1,150 of accrued expenses, which were paid in the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

meloxicam between 10% and 12% (subject to a 30% reduction when no longer covered by patent). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration paid and the fair value of the contingent consideration and royalties were allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The contingent consideration obligation is remeasured each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized as a period charge within the statement of operations (see Note 6 for further information regarding fair value).

In December 2018, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement that restructured the $45,000 milestone to $60,000 therefore increasing the amount the Company may be required to pay Alkermes to $140,000, however, the amendment spread the payments of the development milestone over a seven-year period. In addition, the Company amended the warrant agreement with Alkermes, which decreased the exercise price of the warrant to $8.26 per share.

Based on the amended terms of the Alkermes agreement, the contingent consideration consists of four separate components. The first component is (i) a $5,000 payment made in the first quarter of 2019 and (ii) a $5,000 payment made in the second quarter of 2019. The second components will be payable upon certain regulatory approval and include (i) a $5,000 payment due within 180 days following regulatory approval for IV meloxicam and (ii) $45,000 payable in seven equal annual payments of approximately $6,400 beginning on the first anniversary of such approval. The third component consists of three potential payments, based on the achievement of specified annual revenue targets, the last of which represents over 60% of these milestone payments and currently does not have a fair value assigned to its achievement. The fourth component consists of a royalty payment between 10% and 12% (subject to a 30% reduction when no longer covered by patent) for a defined term on future meloxicam net sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid the first component consisting of two payments of $5,000 each to Alkermes.

The fair of the contingent consideration liability is measured as the reporting date using inputs and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements.  Events and circumstances impacting the fair value of the liability that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the date that the financial statements are available to be issued are adjusted in the period during which such events and circumstances occur.  The fair value of the second contingent consideration components is estimated by applying a risk-adjusted discount rate to the probability-adjusted contingent payments based upon the anticipated approval dates. The fair value of the third contingent consideration component is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method and applying a risk-adjusted discount rate to the potential payments resulting from probability-weighted revenue projections based upon the expected revenue target attainment dates. The fair value of the fourth contingent consideration component is estimated by applying a risk-adjusted discount rate to the potential payments resulting from probability-weighted revenue projections and the defined royalty percentage.

These fair values are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which are referred to in the guidance as Level 3 inputs. The contingent consideration components are classified as liabilities and are subject to the recognition of subsequent changes in fair value through the results of operations.

NMBA Related License Agreement

In June 2017, the Company acquired the exclusive global rights to two novel neuromuscular blocking agents, or NMBAs, and a proprietary reversal agent from Cornell University, or Cornell. The NMBAs and reversal agent are referred to herein as the NMBA Related Compounds. The NMBA Related Compounds include one novel intermediate-acting NMBA that has initiated Phase I clinical trials and two other agents, a novel short-acting NMBA, and a rapid-acting reversal agent specific to these NMBAs.

The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the total cost of the acquisition of $766 allocated to acquired IPR&D. The Company recorded an upfront payment obligation of $350, as well as operational liabilities and acquisition-related costs of $416, primarily consisting of reimbursement to Cornell for specified past patent, legal and pre-clinical costs.

In addition, the Company is obligated to make: (i) an annual license maintenance fee payment until the first commercial sale of the NMBA Related Compounds; and (ii) milestone payments upon the achievement of certain milestones, up to a maximum, for each NMBA, of $5,000 for U.S. regulatory approval and commercialization milestones and $3,000 for European regulatory approval and commercialization milestones. The Company is also obligated to pay Cornell royalties on net sales of the NMBA Related Compounds at a rate ranging from low to mid-single digits, depending on the applicable NMBA Related Compounds and whether there is a valid patent claim in the applicable country, subject to an annual minimum royalty amount. Further, the Company will reimburse Cornell ongoing patent costs related to prosecution and maintenance of the patents related to the Cornell patents for the NMBA Related Compounds.


The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition based on an evaluation of the accounting guidance (ASC Topic 805) and considered the early clinical stage of the novel and unproven NMBA Related Compounds. The Company concluded that the acquired IPR&D of Cornell did not constitute a business as defined under ASC 805 due to the incomplete nature of the inputs and the absence of processes from a market participant perspective. Substantial additional research and development will be required to develop any NMBA Related Compounds into a commercially viable drug candidate, including completion of pre-clinical testing and clinical trials, and, if such clinical trials are successful, application for regulatory approvals and manufacturing repeatability and scale-up. There is risk that a marketable compound may not be well tolerated and may never be approved.

Acquired IPR&D in the asset acquisition was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development.” At the date of acquisition, the Company determined that the development of the projects underway at Cornell had not yet reached technological feasibility and that the research in process had no alternative future uses.  Accordingly, the acquired IPR&D was charged to expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on the acquisition date. The acquired IPR&D charge is expected to be deductible over a 15-year period for income tax purposes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for fair value measurement recognition and disclosure purposes for its financial assets and financial liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value each reporting period. The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents, short-term investments warrants and the contingent consideration.warrants. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. Categorization is based on a three-tier valuation hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs that are other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, inputs that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 2: Inputs that are other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, inputs that are quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.


Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company developed its own assumptions to determine the value of the warrants that do not have observable inputs or available market data to support the fair value. This method of valuation involves using inputs such as the fair value of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility, the contractual term of the warrants, risk free interest rates and dividend yield. Due to the nature of these inputs, the valuation of the warrants is considered a Level 3 measurement.  

The reconciliation of the contingent consideration and warrants measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows:

The Company does not currently expect a portion of the contingent consideration to become payable within one year as of September 30, 2019 (see Note 4 for additional information). The Company plans to continue to reevaluate this classification and measurement as it progresses through discussions with the FDA regarding IV meloxicam.

 

The Company follows the disclosure provisions of FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), for disclosure purposes for financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of long-term debt, where a quoted market price is not available, is evaluated based on, among other factors, interest rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms, remaining payments and considerations of the Company’s creditworthiness. The Company determined that the recorded book value of long-termits debt, a level 2 measurement, approximated fair value at SeptemberJune 30, 2019 due to the comparison of2020 because (i) the terms of borrowings under the debt, including borrowing ratesCredit Agreement are equivalent to the terms of other borrowings currently available to the Company throughCompany; and (ii) the fair value of the PPP Note, which carries a fixed interest rate below market, is not materially different from its recent debt refinancing process in the first quarter of 2019.carrying value.

Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

Cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2019 consist of government money market mutual funds. Short-term investments are included in Cash and cash equivalents when their original maturities are three months or less when acquired. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” the Company has classified its entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale securities with secondary or resale markets, and, as such, its portfolio is reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in Comprehensive Loss in stockholders’ equity and realized gains and losses included in other income/expense. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities:the Company’s cash equivalents:

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had no investments with maturities of three months or less.  As of December 31, 2018, all of the Company’s investments had original maturities of less than two months. The fair value of the Company’s U.S. Treasury obligations are 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. To derive the fair value of its commercial paper, the Company uses benchmark inputs and industry standard analytical models.

Term Loans under Credit Agreement

On November 17, 2017, the Company entered into a $100,000 Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement,(the “Credit Agreement”) with Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP or Athyrium.(“Athyrium”).

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, additional stock-based compensation expense of $1,644 is included in amounts presented in the line item “Loss from discontinued operations” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $21.3 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards. The Company also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $4.3 million available to offset future taxable income. U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be utilized against future taxes. With the exception of the 2018 federal net operating loss which has an indefinite carry forward period, these federal and state net operating loss and federal and state tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2028, if not utilized. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had also generated foreign net operating loss carryforwards in Ireland of approximately $92.8 million. The Company currently anticipates that it would continue to record a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made an election to treat its Irish subsidiary as a disregarded entity for U.S federal income tax purposes, which resulted in a worthless stock and bad debt deduction of approximately $97.0 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for this benefit as a result of the full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

These tax losses may be subject to audit and future adjustment by the IRS, which could result in a reversal of none, part, or all of the income tax benefit or could result in a benefit higher than the net amount recorded. If the IRS rejects or reduces the amount of the income tax benefit related to the worthless stock and bad debt deduction, we may have to pay additional cash income taxes, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. We cannot guarantee what the ultimate outcome or amount of the benefit we receive, if any, will be.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates through two business segments that are treated as separate financial segments: a revenue-generating CDMO segment and an Acute Care segment. The CDMO segment leverages the Company’s formulation expertise to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products using the Company’s proprietary delivery technologies for commercial partners who commercialize or plan to commercialize these products. The Acute Care segment develops the Company’s proprietary product candidates and is currently focused on achieving FDA approval for IV meloxicam following the receipt of a second CRL. Acute Care has no revenue, and its costs historically have consisted primarily of expenses incurred in conducting the Company’s clinical and preclinical studies, acquiring clinical trial materials, regulatory activities, personnel costs and pre-commercialization of meloxicam. Following the receipt of the second CRL for IV meloxicam, the Company announced a strategic restructuring initiative that reduced the Acute Care operating expenses, including the reduction of staff of approximately 50 employees. CDMO revenue streams are derived from manufacturing, royalty and profit-sharing revenues, as well as CDMO’s research and development services performed for commercial partners.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 3). The Company evaluates performance of its reportable segments based on revenue and operating income (loss). The Company does not allocate interest income, interest expense or income taxes to its operating segments.

Revenue Recognition

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts existing as of January 1, 2018. See Note 3 for additional information on the Company’s revenue recognition policies.

The Company uses the practical expedient to not account for significant financing components because the period between recognition and collection does not exceed one year in any contract.

Contract assets represent revenue recognized for performance obligations completed before an unconditional right to payment exists, and therefore invoicing or associated reporting from the customer regarding the computation of the net product sales has not yet occurred. Contract assets were $10,643$8,911 and $5,201$8,851 at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Generally, the contract assets balance is impacted by the recognition of additional contract assets, offset by amounts invoiced to customers or actual net product sale amounts reported by the commercial partner for the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, actual net product sale amounts reported by the Company’s commercial partner exceeded estimates of royalty amounts attributed to manufactured product shipped as of December 31, 2018 for the related arrangements by approximately $2,083.

Most leases contain specific renewal options where notice to renew must be provided in advance of certain royalty revenues as a contract asset and cash receiptlease expiration or automatic renewals where no advance notice is increasedrequired. Periods covered by an estimated 90 days.option to extend the lease were included in the non-cancellable lease term when exercise of the option was determined to be reasonably certain.

Overview

We are a pharma servicesleading contract development and pharmaceutical company that operatesmanufacturing organization, or CDMO, with integrated solutions for the development, formulation, regulatory support, manufacturing and packaging of oral solid dose drug products. We have operated through twoa single CDMO business segments: a revenue-generating CDMO segment and ansince the completion of the spin-off of our historical Acute Care segment. Each of these segments are deemed to be reportable segmentsbusiness segment, which developed products for financial reporting purposes.hospital and other acute care settings, on November 21, 2019.

Our CDMO segment leveragesWe leverage our formulation and development expertise to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products using proprietary delivery technologies and know-how for commercial partners who develop, commercialize or plan to commercialize these products. These collaborations can result in revenue streams including manufacturing, royalties, or profit sharing, and research and development, which support continued operations for our CDMO segment and have contributed excess cash flow to be used for activities in our Acute Care segment.development. We operate a 97,000 square foot, DEA-licensed manufacturing facility in Gainesville, Georgia, as well as a 24,000 square foot development and high potency product facility in Gainesville, Georgia that we opened in October 2018.Georgia. We currently develop and/or manufacture the following key products with our key commercial partners: Ritalin LA®, Focalin XR®, Verelan PM®, Verelan SR®, Verapamil PM, Verapamil SR and Zohydro ER®, as well as CDMO services for supporting development stage products. Our CDMO segment’s revenue streams are primarily derived from manufacturing, and royalty revenues, as well as research and development services performed for partners.

Our Acute Care segment is primarily focused on innovative products for hospital and other settings. Our lead product candidate is a proprietary injectable form of meloxicam, a long-acting preferential COX-2 inhibitor. IV meloxicam has successfully completed three Phase III clinical trials for the management of moderate to severe pain, consisting of two pivotal efficacy trials and a large double-blind Phase III safety trial, as well as other safety studies. Overall, the total new drug application, or NDA, program included over 1,400 patients. In July 2017, we submitted an NDA to the FDA, for our lead investigational product candidate IV meloxicam 30 mg for the management of moderate to severe pain. In May 2018, we received a CRL from the FDA regarding our NDA for IV meloxicam. We resubmitted the NDA for IV meloxicam in September 2018 and in March 2019, we received a second CRL from the FDA regarding our NDA for IV meloxicam. In April 2019, we announced we had implemented a strategic restructuring initiative, and corresponding reduction in the Acute Care segment workforce, aimed at reducing operating expenses, while maintaining key personnel needed to obtain FDA approval and advance IV meloxicam. We are engaged in resolution of the IV meloxicam CRL, and in October 2019 received written notification from the FDA that our appeal relating to the NDA seeking approval for IV meloxicam has been granted. The FDA granted our appeal and indicated that our application provides sufficient evidence of effectiveness and safety to support approval. We are working to prepare a comprehensive response to the FDA that includes proposed labeling that addresses FDA’s concerns and to provide the relevant evidence from the filed NDA that supports the proposed label.

Our Acute Care segment has no revenue and historically our costs consist primarily of expenses incurred in conducting our manufacturing scale-up, clinical trials and preclinical studies, regulatory activities, pre-commercialization of meloxicam and personnel costs. In light of the strategic restructuring, the operating expenses for Acute Care was greatly reduced following the restructuring and associated costs incurred in the first half of 2019. We anticipate that the spin out of the Acute Care segment will become effective in the fourth quarter of 2019, which would result in the CDMO business and the Acute Care business operating as two separately traded public companies.

We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect to continue to incur operating losses for 2019. Due to cost reductions from the strategic restructuring following the receipt of the second CRL, we were $4.8 million cash flow positive for the third quarter and expect to remain cash flow positive for the second half of 2019 (excluding the impact from any strategic transactions). Substantially all of our operating losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our development programs, including our non-clinical and formulation development activities, manufacturing, clinical trials and pre-commercialization activities. We have used cash flow generated by our CDMO segmentbusiness primarily to fund operations at our Gainesville, Georgia manufacturing facilities, to fund our historical Acute Care business and to make payments under our credit facility and to partially fund our development and pre-commercialization activities of our Acute Care segment.facility. We believe our CDMO segmentbusiness will continue to contribute cash for future operations at our Gainesville facilities and other general corporate purposes and supportpurposes.

In November 2019, our former Acute Care business was spun-out from us through our former wholly-owned subsidiary, Baudax Bio, Inc., or Baudax Bio, when we completed a special dividend distribution of all the IV meloxicam appeal process, maintenanceoutstanding shares of common stock of Baudax Bio to our shareholders. On November 21, 2019, the distribution date, each of our other product candidates,shareholders received one share of Baudax Bio’s common stock, or the Distribution, for every two and plan for and execute on other possible structures.


On April 10, 2015, we completed the acquisition from Alkermes of certain assets, including the worldwide rights to injectable meloxicam and the development, formulation and manufacturing business that comprised our CDMO segment, which we refer to as the Gainesville Transaction. The consideration paid consisted of $50.0 million cash, a $4.0 million working capital adjustment and a seven-year warrant to purchase 350,000one-half shares of our common stock held of record at an exercise pricethe close of $19.46 per share. In addition, according tobusiness on November 15, 2019, the agreement, as amended,record date for the Distribution. Additionally, we were required to pay up to an additional $140.0 million in milestone payments, including regulatory and net sales milestones, and a royalty percentage of future product net sales related to IV meloxicam. In December 2018, we entered into an Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Alkermes, which restructured the $45.0 million milestone originally due upon FDA approval of IV meloxicam to (i) a $5.0 million payment made within 30 days of the amendment; (ii) a $5.0 million payment made by April 23, 2019; (iii) a $5.0 million payment due within 180 days following approval of an NDA for IV meloxicam; and (iv) an additional $45.0 million following approval of an NDA for injectable meloxicam, payable over a seven year period. In addition, we amended our warrant held by Alkermes to decrease the exercise price to $8.26 per share. As of September 30, 2019, we have paid $10.0 million in milestone payments to Alkermes.

Following the receipt of the second CRL, we implemented a strategic restructuring initiative, and corresponding reduction in the Acute Care segment workforce, aimed at reducing operating expenses, while maintaining key personnel needed to obtain FDA approval and advance IV meloxicam. The restructuring initiative included a reduction of a majority of our Acute Care segment workforce of approximately 50 positions. We have incurred approximately $7.2contributed $19 million of costscash to Baudax Bio in connection with the strategic restructuring plan ($6.0 millionseparation, retained significant net operating loss carryforwards, and were released from significant milestone and royalty payment obligations. As a result of the Distribution, Baudax Bio is now an independent public company whose shares of common stock are trading under the symbol “BXRX” on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq.

In the second quarter of 2020, we launched a new clinical trial material offering, or CTM. Our capabilities include on-demand services for innovative trial design and direct-to-patient supply logistics. We also can provide non-clinical formulations, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) characterization, over-encapsulation and manufacturing, in addition to clinical and commercial packaging services. We also made additional capital improvements to support a new tech transfer project for a commercial product and also believe the equipment will be useful for future commercial projects.

Our consolidated results of operations and financial position included in this Quarterly Report reflect the financial results of Baudax Bio as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. For additional information on the spin-off of Baudax Bio please read note 4, Discontinued Operations, to our consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report.


COVID-19

We continue to closely monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was incurredcontinues to have adverse effects on the U.S. and world economies, including the commercial activities of our customers and their peers. While we are committed to continue providing essential pharmaceutical products to our customers, we are also taking all necessary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees. These developments include:

Operations: We have instituted protocols to have appropriate personnel work remotely and have implemented strict social distancing and other protective measures for those employees continuing to support essential operations at our work locations in order to ensure the health of our employees while continuing to provide critical products. Our sales, manufacturing and development efforts have continued since the outbreak of the pandemic. Our cost of sales has increased as a percentage of revenues in part due to lower production volumes, resulting in manufacturing variances, and there are some incremental expenses associated with safe practices for our organization due to COVID-19.

Business Development: We successfully launched our new CTM offering in the second quarter and secured new customers. In other sectors, we have experienced lower than expected new development business growth, which we believe is primarily attributable to COVID-19. Concerns surrounding COVID-19 have resulted in our adoption of new methods for meeting and contacting customers, have slowed customer access, and have caused delays in plans for development services by some customers and prospects for a variety of reasons, such as concerns about the timing of clinical trials.

Manufacturing Demand: We believe that there has been lower demand for some of the commercial products we manufacture for our customers due to the effects of COVID-19. Third party national data demonstrates that there has been a meaningful impact of COVID-19 on the reduction of total prescriptions filled by patients across most therapeutic areas, including chronic cardiovascular and pediatric medications, etc.

Our sales and manufacturing operations could be further disrupted as a result of the pandemic because of production slowdowns, stoppages, or decreased demand for the products we manufacture. Given the uncertain scope and duration of the pandemic, the extent to which the pandemic will continue to impact our financial results remains uncertain in terms of manufacturing volumes and certain profit sharing results, even when our partners have not experienced loss of market share, in part due to reduced total prescription (TRx) rates for many chronic therapeutics. However, we will continue to monitor the situation closely, we have taken steps to reduce costs and drive more new business, and we are actively evaluating various ways to further conserve operational resources.

Financial Overview

Recent Developments

Some recent developments have occurred that have impacted and are expected to continue to impact full year expected results, including:

Third party data has shown a decrease in prescriptions filled during COVID-19 for the first half of 2020 for a number of the commercial products we manufacture for our customers. We expect this could result in continued lower demand for our manufacturing services with respect to these products, especially since COVID-19 impacts are not predictable at this time.

The previously reported return to the market of a competitor to one of our key customers for certain product strengths that had previously been out of the market. This product has recovered to an observed percentage of approximately 50% market share. While total unit volumes have declined during COVID-19, relative market share has remained steady for both parties. This has impacted both anticipated manufacturing volumes and profit sharing for this key customer.

We received notification reported in the first quarter of 2020 from two of our key customers of discontinuations for two commercial product lines. As we announced in May in connection with our first quarter earnings results, we anticipate that these discontinuances will decrease revenues by approximately $4 million for 2020 and approximately $7 to $8 million for 2021.


We have experienced slower than expected new project starts, which we believe is primarily attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns surrounding COVID-19 have resulted in delays in plans for development services by some customers and prospects for a variety of reasons, such as concerns about timing of clinical trials, etc.

As a result of these recent events, we implemented operating improvement initiatives including two separate reduction in force actions during the three months ended June 30, 2019), which includes severance and related termination benefits and canceled marketing and production costs.

Financial Overviewfirst half of 2020 as well as other initiatives. We estimate that these initiatives will provide an annual savings of approximately $3.4 million in fiscal year 2021. Additional cost saving measures continue to be assessed.

Revenues

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018periods presented, we recognized revenues from three revenue streams: manufacturing revenue, royalty revenue and research and development services revenue. This revenue is generated from our CDMO segment.

Manufacturing revenueRevenue

We recognize manufacturing revenue from the sale of products we manufacture for our commercial partners. Manufacturing revenues are recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer, generally upon shipment, based on a transaction price that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to as specified in the agreement with the commercial partner, which could include pricing and volume-based adjustments.adjustments.

Royalty revenueRevenue

We recognize royalty or profit-sharing revenue, collectively referred to as royalty revenue, related to the sale of products by our commercial partners that incorporate our technologies.technologies. Royalty revenues are generally recognized under the terms of the applicable license, development and/or supply agreement. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue when the related sales occur by the commercial partner. For arrangements that include sales-based royalties and the license is not deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, we recognize revenue when the performance obligation to which the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied, which is upon transfer of control of a product to a customer. In this case, significant judgment is used in the estimation of these royalties based on historical customer pricing and deductions and is partially constrained due to items that are outside of our control including the uncertainty of the timing of future commercial partner sales, mix of volume, customer stocking and ordering patterns, as well as unforeseen price adjustments made by our commercial partners.partners.

Research and Development Revenue

Research and development revenue

Research and development revenue consists of revenue that compensates us for includes services performed at our CDMO, such asassociated with formulation, process development, CTM services, as well as custom development of manufacturing processes and preparation of pre-clinicalanalytical methods for a customer’s non-clinical, clinical and clinical drug product materials prepared by our CDMO segment under researchcommercial products. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the nature and development arrangements with partners. Revenues related to researchparticular facts and development are generally recognized as the related services or activities are performed using the output method and in accordancecircumstances associated with the contract terms. To the extent

In contracts that the agreements specify services are to be performed on a fixed basis, revenues are recognized consistent with the pattern of the work performed. In agreements which specify milestones, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimatesestimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the value of the associated milestone is recognized at a point in time. Non-refundable milestoneMilestone payments related to arrangements under which we have continuing performance obligations would be deferred and recognized over the period of performance. Milestone payments that are not within our control, such as submission for approval to regulators by a commercial partner or


approvals from regulators, are not considered probable of being achieved until those submissions are submitted by the customer or approvals are received.received.

ResearchIn contracts that require revenue recognition over time, we utilize input or output methods, depending on the specifics of the contract, that compare the cumulative work-in-process to date to the most current estimates for the entire performance obligation. Under these contracts, the customer typically owns the product details and Development Expenses

Researchprocess, which have no alternative use. These projects are customized to each customer to meet its specifications and development expenses currently consist primarilytypically only one performance obligation is included. Each project represents a distinct service that is sold separately and has stand-alone value to the customer. The customer also retains control of costs incurredits product as the product is being created or enhanced by our Acute Care segment in connection with the development of injectable meloxicam and other pipeline activities. These expenses consist primarily of:

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our preclinical studies;

the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial drug supply and related manufacturing services and pre-commercial product validation and inventory manufacturing expenses;

costs relatedcan make changes to facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses;

acquired in-process research and development;

costs associated with non-clinical and regulatory activities; and

salaries and related costs for personnel in research and development and regulatory functions.

The majority of our external research and development costs have related to clinical trials, manufacturing of drug supply for pre-commercial products, analysis and testing of product candidates and patent costs. Costs related to facilities, depreciation and support are not charged to specific programs.

The successful development of IV meloxicam and our other product candidates is highly uncertain and subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of a product candidate;

the duration of clinical trials, which varies substantially according to the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidate;

substantial requirements on the introduction of pharmaceutical products imposed by the FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries, which require lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling activities and other costly and time-consuming procedures;

the possibility that data obtained from pre-clinical and clinical activities at any step in the testingits process may be adverse and lead to discontinuation or redirection of development activity or may be susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval;

risk involved with development of manufacturing processes, FDA pre-approval inspection practices and successful completion of manufacturing batches for clinical development and other regulatory purposes;

the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments, which could impede our commercial efforts; and

the other risks disclosed in the section titled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Development timelines, probability of success and development costs vary widely. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we will assess our IV meloxicam development program based on additional available information as we progress through our discussions with the FDA around the CRL regarding our NDA for IV meloxicam and assess IV meloxicam’s commercial potential and available capital resources. Accordingly, we cannot currently estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of time or costs that we will expend in the future on IV meloxicam prior to regulatory approval, if such approval is ever granted. As a result of these uncertainties surrounding the timing and outcome of any approval, we are currently unable to estimate precisely when, if ever, any of our product candidates will generate revenues and cash flows.

We expect our research and development costs to relate to IV meloxicam as we seek to obtain regulatory approval for IV meloxicam, and if successful in obtaining regulatory approval, advance IV meloxicam through the commercialization scale-up and other activities. We also expect to have expenses related to development of our other product candidates. We may elect to seek collaborative relationships in order to provide us with a diversified revenue stream and to help facilitate the development and commercialization of our product candidate pipeline. We expect our research and development costs to remain at a reduced level for the remainder of 2019 as a result of the restructuring and reduced clinical and pre-commercialization manufacturing activities for IV meloxicam and our other pipeline associated activities.specifications upon request.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

GeneralSelling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for corporate administrative, public company costs, and business development personnel in executive, pre-commercial, financeas well as legal, patent-related and information technology functions. General and administrative expenses alsoconsulting fees. Public company costs include professional fees for legal, including patent-related expenses, consulting,compliance, auditing andservices, tax services, and CDMO business development activities. In light of the restructuring and continued advancement of IV meloxicam, our future expected general and administrative expenses related to pre-commercial costs has been substantially reduced.

We currently expect our general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact from the potential Acute Care separation, to remain at a reduced level for the remainder of 2019 as we progress through our discussions with the FDA regarding the CRL and operating under our new structure. We will continue to incur costs relating to our operations as a public company, including salary, consulting, legal, patent and compliance, accounting, insurance and investor relations costs.relations. We expect our business development expenses to increase in 2020, compared to prior year, as we continue to expand our sales team in various geographies in support of our new offerings, in anticipation of business growth from new formulation, development and CTM capabilities.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

We recognize amortization expense related to the intangible asset for our contract manufacturing relationships on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of six years. The intangible asset related to injectable meloxicam represents in process research and development, or IPR&D, which is considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset that is assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. If the associated research and development effort is abandoned, the related assets will be written-off, and we will record a noncash impairment loss on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For those compounds that reach commercialization, the IPR&D assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Gainesville Transaction, as amended in December 2018, we are required to pay up to an additional $140.0 million in milestone payments, including $10.0 million during the first half of 2019, another $5.0 million due within 180 days of approval of IV meloxicam and $45.0 million over seven years beginning one year after approval, as well as net sales milestones and a royalty percentage of future product net sales related to IV meloxicam between 10% and 12% (subject to a 30% reduction when no longer covered by patent). The estimated fair value of the initial $54.6 million payment obligation was recorded as part of the purchase price for the Gainesville Transaction. We have continued to reevaluate the fair value each subsequent period and as of September 30, 2019 recorded a $65.7 million payment obligation, representing the estimated probability adjusted fair value. Each reporting period, we revalue this estimated obligation with changes in fair value recognized as a non-cash operating expense or gain. As of September 30, 2019, we have paid $10.0 million in milestone payments to Alkermes.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants

We havehad previously classified as liabilities certain warrants then outstanding that containcontained a contingent net cash settlement feature, upon a change in control. The fair value of these warrants iswas remeasured through settlement or expiration with changes in fair value recognized as a period charge within the Consolidated Statements of OperationsOperations. There are no remaining liability classified warrants as the last of these warrants were exercised in November 2019. A fair value determination at the time of the exercise occurred and Comprehensive Loss.was included in the change in warrant valuation for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interest Expense net

Interest expense net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was a result ofperiods presented primarily includes interest expense incurred on our Athyrium senior secured term loans, and the amortization of the related financing costs netand interest expense on a promissory note with PNC Bank under the Small Business Administration, or “SBA, Paycheck Protection Program of interest income on cash equivalentsthe Coronavirus Aid, Relief and short-term investments.Economic Security Act of 2020, or the CARES Act, and collectively the PPP note.

Net Operating Losses and Tax Carryforwards

As of December 31, 2018,2019, we had approximately $21.3$121.6 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards. We also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $4.3$4.4 million available to offset future taxable income. U.S. tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be utilized against future taxes. With the exception of the 2019 and 2018 federal net operating losslosses, which hashave an indefinite carry forward period, these federal and state net operating loss and federal and state tax credit carryforwards will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2028, if not utilized. As of December 31, 2018, we had also generated foreign net operating loss carryforwards in Ireland of approximately $92.8 million. We currently anticipate that we would continue to record a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company made an election to treat its Irish subsidiary as a disregarded entity for U.S federal income tax purposes, which resulted in a worthless stock and bad debt deduction of approximately $97.0 million for U.S.


federal income tax purposes.  There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for this benefit as a result of the full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

This tax loss may be subject to audit and future adjustment by the IRS, which could result in a reversal of none, part, or all of the income tax benefit or could result in a benefit higher than the net amount recorded. If the IRS rejects or reduces the amount of the income tax benefit related to the worthless stock and bad debt deduction, we may have to pay additional cash income taxes, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. We cannot guarantee what the ultimate outcome or amount of the benefit we receive, if any, will be.

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, or the Act, the utilization of a corporation’s net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards is limited following a greater than 50% change in ownership during a three-year period. Any unused annual limitation may be carried forward to future years for the balance of the carryforward period. We determined that we have experienced ownership changes, as defined by the Act, during the 2008, 2014 and 2016 tax years as a result of past financings; accordingly, our ability to utilize the aforementioned carryforwards will be limited. In addition, state net operating loss carryforwards may be further limited, including in Pennsylvania, which has a limitation of 30%, 35% or 40% of taxable income after modifications and apportionment on state net operating losses utilized in any one year during tax years beginning during 2017, 2018 or 2019 going forward respectively. In addition, we may undergo further ownership changes in the future, including changes to our organizational structure relating to foreign operations, purchases, sales and licenses, spin-offs, bad debt write-offs, which could further limit our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, if we generate taxable income, our ability to use some of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal and state taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could result in increased future tax liabilities to us.

In December 2017, the federal government enacted numerous amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act.  The Tax Act will impact our income tax expense/(benefit) from operations in the current and in future periods. The Tax Act resulted in the following impacts to us:

Our federal statutory income tax rate was reduced from 34% to 21% for 2018 and tax years following.

Our results for the fourth quarter of 2017 included a one-time net expense of $7.9 million, as a result of remeasuring our deferred tax balances to the new statutory rate.

We will be able to claim an immediate deduction for investments in qualified fixed assets acquired and placed in service beginning September 27, 2017 through 2022.  This provision phases out through 2026.

Given our taxable losses in the U.S., we will be limited in our ability to deduct interest expense, and any disallowed interest expense for 2018 and tax years following will result in an indefinite carry forward until such time as we meet the taxable income thresholds required to deduct interest expense.

Revenue and costs of sales. Our revenues were $25.3 million and $18.3 million and cost of sales were $11.0 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $7.0 million in revenue was primarily due to increased royalties recognized from one of our commercial partners and an increase in product sales to various of our commercial partners. Cost of sales increased $2.5 million primarily due to expansion of our service and development capabilities as well as growth in manufacturing demand which was partially offset by operating efficiencies gained as a result of higher production volumes.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $1.8 million and $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease of $9.5 million was primarily due to a decrease in pre-commercialization manufacturing and clinical costs for IV meloxicam, the shift in focus of our CDMO formulation and development capabilities to cost of sales activities, a decrease in development costs for other pipeline products and a decrease in personnel costs.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses were $6.9 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease of $0.1 million was due to a reduction in commercial team personnel and related costs following the receipt of the second CRL, which suspended our preparation of the anticipated launch of IV meloxicam offset by an increase in public company costs including legal costs.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense was $0.6 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was exclusively related to the amortization of our CDMO royalties and contract manufacturing relationships intangible asset over its estimated useful life.

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net was $5.1 million and $2.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $3.0 million was primarily due to the higher principal balance on our Athyrium senior secured term loan and amortization of the related financing costs.

Income Tax Benefit. We believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets associated with our federal, state and foreignU.S. operations will not be realized, and as such, there is a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets related to the losses. As a resultassets.

Operating Income (Loss) per Segment.

CDMO Segment-

Our CDMO segment’s revenues were $25.3 million and $18.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $7.0 million in revenue was primarily due to increaseddecreased product sales and royalties recognized from three of our commercial partners. The first key customer experienced lower market share compared to 2019 due to the re-entry of a competitor to the market but has maintained its market share since the first quarter of 2020. The second key customer saw decreased sales that reduced our royalties and manufacturing volumes as a result of market forces. The third key customer decreased sales due to the impact of a combination of the overall market forces and the discontinuation of a commercial product line in the first quarter of 2020. We also experienced slower than expected new business project starts and overall growth due to the impacts of COVID-19.

We expect that the return of a competitor to the market experienced by one of our commercial partners, and an increase in product salesoverall COVID-19 market force impacts to variousall of our commercial partners.

Our CDMO segment’s operating expenses (including costcustomers, discontinuations of sales) increasedproduct lines by $1.2 million, from $11.3 milliontwo of our customers, slower than expected new project starts and potential delays in customers programs may continue to impact our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2018third and fourth quarters of 2020. We are continuing to $12.5 million inmonitor the three months ended September 30, 2019.impacts of these events and the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and revenues.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales were $11.0decreased $2.5 million and $8.5was not proportionate to the decrease in revenues, primarily due to lower commercial volumes and slower than anticipated new project starts (including $0.2 million related to the second reduction in force associated with continued revised commercial volume and development revenue). Annual savings from this reduction in force and an earlier reduction in force are estimated to be $3.4 million in fiscal year 2021.

Selling, general and administrative. The decrease of $1.3 million was primarily related to lower public company costs and lower travel and marketing costs driven by the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cost of sales increasedCOVID-19 pandemic, which were partially offset by $2.5 millionhigher selling costs due to expansion of our serviceincreased headcount and associated personnel costs focused on business development, capabilities as well as growth in manufacturing demand which was offset by operating efficiencies gained as a resultcompletion of higher production volumes. Research and development expenses decreased by $1.5 million due to the shift in focus of our formulation and development capabilities to cost of sales activities and general and administration expenses increased by $0.1 million due to increased business development activities. All of the above contributed to CDMO segment’s operating income of $12.7 millionreadiness for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which included non-cash charges of $2.2 million for depreciation and amortization and $0.4 million for stock-based compensation.

Acute Care Segment-

Our Acute Care segment’s operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges for contingent consideration and warrants) decreased $8.3 million from $16.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $7.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. Research and development expenses, decreased $8.0 million as a result of a decrease in pre-commercialization manufacturing and clinical costs for IV meloxicam, a decrease in development costs for other pipeline products and a decrease in personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased by $0.3 million as a result of decreased salaries and benefits and decreased pre-commercialization marketing expenses following the receipt of the second CRL, which halted our preparation of the anticipated launch of IV meloxicam. The non-cash charge for contingent consideration decreased by $0.2 million due to the adjusted timing of estimated milestone and royalty payments and the non-cash change in value of warrants decreased by $0.1 million primarily as a result of the change in our stock price. All of the above contributed to our Acute Care segment’s operating loss of $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which also included non-cash charges of $3.7 million for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization.

Revenue and costs of sales. Our revenues were $81.6 million and $59.6 million and cost of sales were $39.5 million and $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $22.0 million in revenue was due to increased royalties recognized from one of our commercial partners and an increase in product sales to various commercial partners. Cost of sales increased $8.5 million due to expansion of our service and development capabilities as well as growth in manufacturing demand which was partially offset by operating efficiencies gained as a result of higher production volumes.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $18.6 million and $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Excluding $2.8 of costs associated with the strategic restructuring initiative recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the decrease of $14.1 million was primarily due to a decrease in pre-commercialization manufacturing and clinical costs for IV meloxicam, a decrease in personnel costs, the shift in focus of our CDMO formulation and development capabilities to cost of sales activities, and a decrease in development costs for other pipeline products.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses were $31.1 million and $29.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Excluding $4.4 million of costs associated with the strategic restructuring initiative recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the decrease of $2.7 million was due to a reduction in commercial team personnel and pre-commercial consulting costs in preparation of the anticipated launch of IV meloxicam following the receipt of the second CRL.

Our Acute Care segment’s operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges for contingent consideration and warrants) decreased $6.7Interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had $37.9$22.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.equivalents.

Since our inception through SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we have financed our product development, operations and capital expenditures primarily from sales of equity and debt securities, including sales of our common stock with net proceeds of $133.5 million, and term loans made under our previous and existing credit facilities, includingfacilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, our credit facility with Athyrium with an outstanding balance of $125.0capital expenditures were $2.2 million and contributions of excess cash flow from our CDMO segment.primarily related to equipment and facility modifications to support a new customer.

We continue to advance IV meloxicammay require additional financing and evaluate and execute on other possible corporate structures, including the spin out of the Acute Care segment which would result in the CDMO business and the Acute Care business operating as two separately traded public companies thatif we expect to become effective in the fourth quarter of 2019. In order to proceed with the development of our product candidates, make the payments which may become due, including milestone payments owed to Alkermes or other licensing partners, to commercialize IV meloxicam, if approved, to commence our clinical trial programs of our other product candidates, to commercialize any of our other product candidates or technologies that receive regulatory approval and to enhance our sales and marketing efforts for additional productsdo, we may acquire, we would need to raise substantial additional funding. Insufficient funds may cause us to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our development, commercialization or expansion activities. Our future capital needs and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including any corporate reorganization regarding the Acute Care segment, our ability to timely and adequately resolve the second CRL issued by the FDA regarding our NDA for IV meloxicam, the cost of studies and other actions that may be needed to obtain regulatory approval for IV meloxicam, the timing of approval of IV meloxicam, our ability to commercialize IV meloxicam, the level of market acceptance of IV meloxicam and the costs of commercialization activities for IV meloxicam, if approved, as well as, the continued profitability of our CDMO segment, and our ability to raisesuch additional funds through debt refinancing, bank or other loans, through strategic development, licensing, including out-licensing activities, sale of assets and/or marketing arrangements or through public or private sales of equity or debt securities from time to time. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all,


and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact our growth plans and our financial condition or results of operations. Further, our ability to access capital market or otherwise raise capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to, and volatility in, financial markets in the United States and worldwide resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Additional debt or equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to the holders of our common stock and may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate our business or access to capital.capital.

On March 7, 2015, in connection with the Gainesville Transaction, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit agreement with OrbiMed. Pursuant to the credit agreement, OrbiMed provided us with a term loan in the original principal amount of $50.0 million on April 10, 2015, which amount was used to fund the Gainesville Transaction. On November 17, 2017, we entered into our credit agreement with Athyrium, pursuant to which we drew upon an initial $60.0 million term loan. We used the proceeds from the initial term loan to (i) repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility with OrbiMed of approximately $31.7 million, which included the remaining debt principal balance of $27.3 million and early termination charges of $4.4 million and (ii) pay transaction fees associated with the credit facility with Athyrium of approximately $4.2 million. In December 2018 we amended the credit agreement with Athyrium and drew upon a $10.0 million term B-1 loan. In February 2019, we entered into a second amendment to the credit agreement with Athyrium pursuant to which the credit facility was (i) expanded from $100.0 million to $125.0 million and (ii) the two additional $15.0 million tranches were restructured into a $55.0 million term B-2 loan, which was funded on the date of execution of the Second Amendment,second amendment, net of the original issue discount of $11.4 million. On October 22, 2019, the Company entered into a third amendment that, among other things, released Baudax Bio from its obligations under the credit agreement and increased the permitted leverage ratio (which is our indebtedness under the Credit Agreement divided by EBITDA, each as defined) to 5.00:1.00. Beginning on March 31, 2021, we must repay the outstanding principal amount in quarterly installments of $3.0 million with the outstanding principal balance due on March 31, 2023. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had $125.0 million outstanding principal under our credit agreement with Athyrium.

On May 12, 2020, we entered into a $4.4 million PPP Note. The note has a two-year term, natures on May 12, 2022 and bears interest at a stated rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence on December 15, 2020. The note requires no collateral or guarantees, nor did the Company pay any fees to acquire the note. The note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. The Company may prepay the principal of the Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges. On May 18, 2020 the Company prepaid $1.1 million of the note.

The PPP Note may be partially or fully forgiven if the Company complies with the provisions of the CARES Act, including the use of note proceeds for payroll costs, rent, utilities and mortgage interest, and at least 60% of the amount of the loan proceeds to be forgiven must be used for payroll costs as defined by the CARES Act. The SBA has announced its intention to audit loans in excess of $2.0 million, and any forgiveness of the Loan will be subject to approval by the SBA and PNC Bank. Forgiveness of the PPP Note will require the Company to apply for such treatment in the future. Should we meet the requirements for forgiveness, it would extinguish the note upon receiving legal release from PNC Bank and record a gain on extinguishment in that period. We expect that the full $3.3 million balance of the PPP Note will be forgiven, however, no assurance can be given that we will obtain forgiveness of the PPP Note in whole or in part.

OurOur future use of operating cash and capital requirements will depend on many forward-looking factors, including the following:

the timing and extent of our manufacturing and capital expenditures related to our CDMO segment;

our ability to maintain our relationships and contracts with our commercial partners;

our ability to continue profitability in our CDMO segment;

our ability to comply with stringent U.S. & foreign government regulation in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, including cGMP and U.S. DEA requirements;

the extent to which we choose to establish collaboration, co-promotion, distribution or other similar agreements for product candidates;

our ability to resolve the deficiencies identified by the FDA in the second CRL, for IV meloxicam;

whether the FDA will approve an amended NDA for IV meloxicam and, if approved, the labeling under any such approval that we may obtain;

the time frame associated with resolving the deficiencies identified by the FDA in the second CRL and whether the FDA will require additional clinical studies to support the approval of IV meloxicam and the time and cost of such studies;

the timing of the Gainesville Transaction regulatory milestone payments and other contingent consideration;

the costs of manufacturing scale-up and commercialization activities, for IV meloxicam, if approved;

the level of market acceptance of IV meloxicam, if approved;


 

the extent to which we in-license, acquire or invest in products, businesses and technologies;

our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or sale of certain assets;

the timing and extent of our manufacturing and capital expenditures;

our ability to successfully evaluate and execute on other possible organization structures, including but not limited to, the possibility of a separation of the Acute Care segment from the entity containing the CDMO segment;

the costs of preparing, submitting and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property claims; and

the extent to which health epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, could disrupt our operations or materially and adversely affect our business and financial conditions.

the effect of any changes in our effective tax rate due to changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, tax impacts and net operating loss utilization related to the Acute Care segment separation and changes in tax laws.

We might use existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, additional debt, equity financing, sale of assets or out-licensing revenue or a combination thereof to fund our operations or product acquisitions. If we increase our debt levels, we might be restricted in our ability to raise additional capital and might be subject to financial and restrictive covenants.

There has been no material change in our assessment of its sensitivity to market risk described in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019.Report.



Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. However, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

We are involved, from time to time, in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Except as disclosed below, we are not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings that, if decided adversely to it, would either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

On May 31, 2018, a securities class action lawsuit, or the Securities Litigation, was filed against usthe Company and certain of ourits officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:18-cv-02279-MMB) that purported to state a claim for alleged violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10(b)(5) promulgated thereunder, based on statements made by usthe Company concerning the NDA for IV meloxicam. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs. On December 10, 2018, lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint that asserted the same claims and sought the same relief but included new allegations and named additional officers and directors as defendants. On February 8, 2019, wethe Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety, which the lead plaintiff opposed on April 9, 2019. On May 9, 2019, Wethe Company filed its response and briefing was completed on the motion to dismiss. In response to questions from the Judge, the parties submitted supplemental briefs with regard to the motion to dismiss the amended complaint during the fall of 2019. On February 18, 2020, the motion to dismiss was granted without prejudice. On April 25, 2020, the plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on June 26, 2019,18, 2020. The plaintiff’s deadline to file an opposition to the judge heard oral arguments onCompany’s motion to dismiss is August 17, 2020, and the Company will have thirty days from the filing of the plaintiff’s opposition to file a reply in support of the motion to dismiss. In connection with the separation of Baudax Bio, Baudax Bio accepted assignment by the Company of all of its obligations in connection with the Securities Litigation and agreed to indemnify it for all liabilities related to the Securities Litigation. The judge asked the plaintiffs to file a supplemental brief, which was completed on August 30, 2019,Company and we submitted a reply brief on September 27, 2019.  WeBaudax Bio believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intendsintend to vigorously defend against it. The lawsuit is in the early stages and, at this time, no assessment can be made as to its likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to us.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

You should carefully consider the risk factors described in our 2019 Annual Report and our Q1 Quarterly Report under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes fromin our risk factors as previously reporteddisclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and our Q1 Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019.Report.

Our appeal relating to the NDA for IV Meloxicam has been granted, however, there can be no certainty that our proposed labeling will address the FDA’s concerns in order to successfully commercialize IV meloxicam.

In July 2017 we submitted an NDA for IV meloxicam for the management of moderate to severe pain to the FDA. On May 23, 2018, we received a CRL from the FDA regarding the NDA, which stated that the FDA determined it could not approve the NDA in its present form.  In October 2019 we received written notification from the FDA that our appeal relating to the NDA seeking approval for IV meloxicam has been granted. The FDA’s letter states that the appeal was granted and that the NDA provides sufficient evidence of effectiveness and safety to support approval. We are working to prepare a comprehensive response to the FDA that includes refiling the NDA with proposed labeling that addresses the FDA’s concerns and to provide the relevant evidence from the filed NDA that supports the proposed label, but there can be no guarantee that we will be able to do so in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, if the approved labeling of IV meloxicam is for a more limited indication or different dosing interval than we originally requested, our ability to market to our full target market may be reduced.  We could need to significantly revise our launch and commercialization strategy, which could delay commercial launch of IV meloxicam, if approved, and could significantly limit our ability to realize the full market potential of IV meloxicam.  The approved labeling could decrease the target market to a point where we would be unable to achieve profitability from IV meloxicam, in which case we may be forced to limit or discontinue the commercialization of IV meloxicam, or seek a collaboration partner for the commercialization of IV meloxicam, all of which would have an adverse impact on our business. 

Should we fail to obtain regulatory approval of IV meloxicam, we may be forced to rely on our other product candidates, which are at an earlier development stage and will require significant additional time and resources to obtain regulatory approval and proceed with commercialization.

The planned spin-off of our acute care business segment is subject to various risks and uncertainties and may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, if at all, and will involve significant time, effort and expense, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In November 2019, we announced the intententitled to spin-off our acute care business segment from our CDMO segment, resulting in two independent, publicly traded companies, Recro Pharma, Inc. and Baudax Bio, Inc. The separationforgiveness of our business segments is expected to be completedrecently received Paycheck Protection Program Loan, and our application for the Paycheck Protection Program Loan could in the fourth quarterfuture be determined to have been impermissible or could result in damage to our reputation.

On May 12, 2020, we received loan proceeds of 2019approximately $4.4 million pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act administered by the SBA. We intend to use the PPP Note to retain current employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. The PPP Note is evidenced by a promissory note, dated as of May 12, 2020, issued by PNC Bank, which contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and breaches of representations and warranties. The PPP Note is scheduled to mature on May 12, 2022, or the Maturity Date, bears interest at a rate of 1.00%  per annum, and is subject to the satisfactionstandard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. On May 18, 2020, we prepaid $1.1 million of certain conditions.  Adverse market conditions or delays or difficulties effecting the planned separation could delay or prevent, or adversely impactamount due under the anticipated benefits from,PPP Note, which was within the planned separation. We may not completesafe harbor time period for repayment established by the separationSmall Business Administration. Certifications made with respect to loan amounts repaid during this safe harbor period are deemed to have been made in good faith.

Commencing December 15, 2020, we are required to pay regular monthly payments in an amount equal to one month’s accrued interest under the PPP Note. All interest which accrues during the initial six months of the loan period will be deferred and payable on the terms or onMaturity Date. The amounts outstanding under the timeline that we announced, orPPP Note may for any or no reason andbe prepaid by us at any time untilprior to maturity without penalty. Under the planned separationCARES Act, as amended in June 2020, loan forgiveness is complete, abandongenerally available for the separation or modify or change its terms. Anysum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the date of the foregoingfirst disbursement of the PPP Note. The amount of the PPP Note eligible to be forgiven may be reduced in certain circumstances, including as a result of certain headcount or salary reductions. We will be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be eligible for loan forgiveness, that we will apply for forgiveness, or that any amount of the PPP Note will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.


In order to apply for the PPP Note, we were required to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the PPP Note request necessary to support our ongoing operations. We made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, the maintenance of our not achieving the operational, financial, strategic and other benefits we anticipate, and in each case,workforce, our business, results ofneed for additional funding to continue operations, and financial conditionour ability to access alternative forms of capital in the current market environment in light of the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Following this analysis, we believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Note, and that our receipt of the PPP Note is consistent with the broad objectives of the CARES Act. The certification described above did not contain any objective criteria and is subject to interpretation.

On April 23, 2020, the SBA issued new guidance that questioned whether a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets would qualify to participate in the PPP. The SBA guidance further indicates that borrowers “must make this certification in good faith, taking into account their current business activity and their ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support their ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.” Subsequently, on April 29, 2020 the SBA issued guidance that it will review all PPP loans of more than $2 million, including our PPP Note, following the lender’s submission of the borrower’s loan forgiveness application.

Under PPP, all or a portion of the PPP Note is eligible for forgiveness if we were eligible for the PPP Note, use the loan proceeds for eligible expenses and otherwise satisfy PPP requirements. While we believe we are eligible for the PPP Note, in the event it was determined that we were not eligible for the PPP Note, it is possible we would be required to repay the PPP Note on an accelerated basis, rather than over two years provided under the PPP Note, and at a higher interest rate than 1.000% per annum. If we receive an adverse finding in any audit related to the PPP Note, some or all of the PPP Note might not be forgiven and we could be adversely affected.

We have incurred and will continuerequired to incur significant expenses in connection with the planned separation, and such costs and expenses may be greater than we anticipate.  In addition, completionreturn or repay some or all of the spin-off will require a significant amount of management timePPP Note, together with interest on the loan, which could reduce our liquidity, and effort which may disrupt our business or otherwise divert management’s attention from other aspects of our business. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, results of operationspotentially subject us to fines and financial condition.penalties.


Even if the spin-off is completed, the anticipated operational, financial, strategic and other benefits of the spin-off may not be achieved. The combined value of the common stock of the two publicly-traded companies may not be equal to or greater than what the value of our common stock would have been had the separation not occurred. The combined value of the common stock of the two companies could be lower than anticipated for a variety of reasons, including the failure of either company to operate and compete effectively as an independent company.  The common stock price of each company may experience periods of extreme volatility. In addition, the two independent companies will be smaller and less diversified, with a narrower business focus, and may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions. The spin-off also presents a number of significant risks to our internal processes, including the failure to maintain an adequate control environment due to changes to our infrastructure technology systems and financial reporting processes.

On August 7, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to our Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, or Aspire Capital, originally dated February 19, 2019, (as amended, the “Amended Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which we have the right to sell to Aspire Capital Fund, LLC, or Aspire Capital, from time to time in our sole discretion up to $30.0 million in shares of our common stock through March 20, 2022, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Amended Purchase Agreement. The Amended Purchase Agreement also replaces our Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 2, 2018, under which $3.0 million shares of our common stock were issuable as of June 30, 2020.

Under the Amended Purchase Agreement, on any trading day we select, following the filing of the prospectus supplement and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice, or Purchase Notice, directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 75,000 shares of common stock per trading day, up to an aggregate of $30.0 million of common stock, at a per share price, or the Purchase Price, equal to the lesser of:

the lowest sale price of the common stock on the purchase date; or

the arithmetic average of the three lowest closing sale prices for our common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date.


The aggregate purchase price payable by Aspire Capital on any one purchase date may not exceed $500,000, unless otherwise mutually agreed, and upon mutual agreement we may issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock under a purchase notice.

In addition, on any date on which we submit a purchase notice to Aspire Capital, we also have the right, in our sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice, or VWAP Purchase Notice, directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of common stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of common stock traded on our principal market on the next trading day, or the VWAP Purchase Date, as we determine. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is generally 97% of the volume-weighted average price for the common stock traded on our principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date.

We may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Amended Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed.

The Amended Purchase Agreement provides that we and Aspire Capital will not affect any sales under the Amended Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of our common stock is less than $0.50. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Amended Purchase Agreement, and we will control the timing and amount of sales of common stock to Aspire Capital.

The Amended Purchase Agreement provides that the number of shares that may be sold pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement will be limited to 4,725,734 shares, or the Exchange Cap, which represents 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of August 7, 2020, unless stockholder approval or an exception pursuant to the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market is obtained to issue more than 19.99%. This limitation will not apply if, at any time the Exchange Cap is reached and at all times thereafter, the average price paid for all shares issued under the Amended Purchase Agreement is equal to or greater than $4.11, which was the closing sale price of our common stock immediately preceding the execution of the Amended Purchase Agreement. We are not required or permitted to issue any shares of common stock under the Amended Purchase Agreement if such issuance would breach our obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Amended Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time, at our discretion, without any cost to us. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the Amended Purchase Agreement. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as directed by us in accordance with the Amended Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Amended Purchase Agreement.

Any proceeds we receive under the Amended Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include increasing our working capital, acquisitions or investments in businesses and capital expenditures.

The foregoing description of the Amended Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued an opinion to the Company, dated August 10, 2020, regarding the validity of the shares of common stock to be issued and sold pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-Q.

In connection with entering into the Amended Purchase Agreement, we terminated our sales agreement, dated  December 29, 2017, with Cowen and Company, LLC, effective August 11, 2020.
