References to “the Company” represent Baudax Bio or the Acute Care Business of Recro for periods prior to the Separation.

The

Basis of Presentation Related to the Separation

For all periods prior to the Separation, the accompanying unaudited combined financial statements represent the Acute Care Business of Recro and are derived from Recro’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and 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 Recro’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.statements. The Recro Acute Care Business of Recro did not consist of a separate, standalone group of legal entities for public company reporting and certain other corporate functions in the periods presentedprior to the Separation and, accordingly, allocations were required.required through the Distribution date. These combined financial statements, prior to the Separation, reflect the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows as the business was operated as part of Recro prior to the planned spin-off,Separation, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). See Note 12 for a description of the agreements entered into between Recro and Baudax Bio following the Separation.

The Company has determined that it operates in a single segment involved in

Prior to the development of innovative products for hospital and other acute care settings.

TheSeparation, the combined financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the Recro corporate level, but which are specifically identifiable or allocable to the Company. All intracompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. All intercompany transactions between the Company and Recro are considered to be effectively settled in the combined financial statements at the time the transaction iswas recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions iswas reflected in the combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the combined balance sheet as parent company net investment. The Company does not record interest expense on amounts funded by Recro. Long-term debt held at the Recro corporate level will bewas retained by Recro and willwas not be assumed by the Company.

Historically, certain corporate level activity costs have been incurred and reported within the legal entity that includes the Recro Acute Care Business. A portion of these costs have been allocated out and theThe Company’s combined financial statements, prior to the Separation, include a remainingan allocation of these expenses related to these certain Recro corporate functions, including senior management, legal, human resources, finance, and information technology.technology through the distribution date. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expense and have been allocated based on direct usage or benefit where identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of expenses, headcount, or other measures. The Company considers the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented prior to the Separation, however, the allocations may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Company operated as an independent, publicly-traded company for the periods presented.presented prior to the Separation. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 (prior to the Separation), a total of $1,516 and $6,467, respectively,$3,382 of costs have been allocated to Recro’s contract manufacturing and development segment (the CDMO business). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, a total of $1,151 and $3,760, respectively, of costs have been allocated to the CDMO business.

The income tax amounts in thesethe combined financial statements for periods prior to the Separation have been calculated based on a separate return methodology and are presented as if the Company was a standalone taxpayer in each of its tax jurisdictions.jurisdictions prior to the Separation. Because of the Company’s history of losses as a standalone entity, a full valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets in all periods presented.


Upon the Separation, the Company adopted its own share‑based compensation plan. Recro maintains its stock-based compensation plan at a corporate level. The Company’s employees participateparticipated in those programsRecro’s stock-based compensation plans prior to the Separation and a portion of the cost of those plans is included in the Company’s combined financial statements using an allocation methodology similar to the methodology used to allocate the cash compensation of the related employees.

The parent company net investment balances in these combined financial statements represents the accumulated deficit of the Recro Acute Care Business and the net funding provided to the Company, which are reflected as net transfers from parent in the combinedCombined Statements of Parent Company Net Investment prior to the Separation.

Subsequent to the Separation, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all of parent company net investment.the accounts and operations of Baudax Bio and its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Baudax Bio in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

In April 2019, after receipt of

The Company has determined that it operates in a Complete Response Letter (CRL), received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), regarding the New Drug Application (NDA), for IV meloxicam, the Company announced it had implemented a strategic

On October 31, 2019, the Company announced that it had received a written decision from the FDA granting its appeal of the CRL relating to the NDA seeking approvalinnovative products for IV meloxicam. The FDA granted the Company’s appealhospital and indicated that the Company’s application provides sufficient evidence of effectiveness and safety to support approval.  The Company is now in the process of preparing a comprehensive response to the FDA that includes proposed labeling that aligns with the FDA guidance received in the written decision letter.other acute care settings.

Development-Stage Risks and Liquidity

The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $76,518 as of March 31, 2020.

 

The Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flows while operating as part of Recro and, accordingly, was dependent upon Recro for its capital funding and liquidity needs. Recro will contributecontributed $19,000 to the Company immediately prior to the Distribution, which management believes is sufficient to maintain operations of the Company for at least one year from the date of the spin-off.Distribution. Recro has not committed any additional funding to the Company beyond the $19,000 to bethat was contributed as of the Distribution date and the Company maywill be required to raise additional funds needed to operate as a standalone entity beyond one year from the Distribution date.entity. The Company’s ability to generate cash inflows is highly dependent on the approval and commercialization of IV meloxicamANJESO and there can be no assurance that such approval will be obtained or that IV meloxicamANJESO can be successfully commercialized. In addition, development activities, clinical and pre-clinical testing and commercialization of the Company’s product candidates, if approved, will require significant additional funding. The Company could delay clinical trial activity or reduce funding of specific programs in order to reduce cash needs. Insufficient funds may cause the Company to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its development, commercialization, or expansion activities. The Company may raise such funds, if available, through debt financings, bank or other loans, through strategic research and development, licensing (including out-licensing) 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 failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact the Company’s growth plans and its financial condition or results of operations. Additional debt or equity financing, if available, may be dilutive to future holders of its common stock and may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to operate its business.  TheManagement believes that cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 are sufficient to maintain operations through at least May 9, 2021, however, the Company maywould be required to wind down operationssignificantly reduce expenses thereby adjusting the timing and scale of the commercial launch of ANJESO and/or consider out-licensing if IV meloxicam isadditional funds are not approved or cannot be successfully commercialized.available during such period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

 

(a)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated and combined 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 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 and combined 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, 20182019 included in the Company’s Form 10.10-K.


 

(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. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows: three to seven years for furniture and office equipment; six to ten years for manufacturing equipment; and the shorter of the lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

 

(e)

Business Combinations

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Accounting Standards Codification (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 and contingent consideration.  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 (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 and Combined Statements of Operations on the acquisition date.

 

(f)

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired by the Company (see Note 4).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.  The Company has one reporting unit.

TheAs of March 31, 2020, the Company’s intangible asset is classified as an asset resulting from R&D activities. Historically, prior to receiving FDA approval, the intangible asset was classified as an IPR&D asset. Intangible assets related 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 and Combined Statements of Operations. 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 assetsCompany determined the useful life of its asset resulting from R&D activities to be approximately 10 years, which is based on the remaining patent life and will be amortized on a one-step test, which compares the fair value of the intangible assetstraight-line basis. The Company is required to its carrying value. Ifreview the carrying value exceeds its fair value,of assets resulting from R&D activities 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.asset or asset group may not be 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 unit, anticipated changes in industry and market conditions, including recent tax reform, intellectual property protection, and competitive environments. Due to the receipt of the CRLglobal market disruption from COVID-19 in March 2019,2020, an indicator of potential impairment, the Company performed an impairment test as of March 31, 2019,2020, which indicated that there was no impairment toof goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. There have been no additional triggering eventsassets resulting from R&D activities as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. The Company will perform its annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30, 2019.2020.

 

(g)

Concentration of Credit Risk

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

(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 Awards

Baudax Awards

Share-based compensation included in the consolidated financial statements following the Separation is based upon the Recro share-based compensation plan.Baudax Bio, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan. The Recro plan includes grants of stock options, time-based vesting restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based vesting RSUs. These carve out financial statements reflect share-based compensation related to stock options and RSUs issued to Baudax Bio employees as well as an allocation of a portion of share-based compensation issued to corporate employees and members of the Board of Directors.

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 exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses an average of its peer group’s volatility 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.

Recro Awards

The Recro Pharma, Inc. 2018 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, or the Recro Plan, includes stock options, time-based vesting RSUs and performance-based vesting RSUs granted to the Company’s employees prior to the Separation. The consolidated and combined financial statements reflect share-based compensation expense based on an allocation of a portion of Recro share-based compensation issued to the Company’s employees based on where their services are performed.

Recro 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. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

(i)(j)

Income Taxes

The income tax amounts in these consolidated and combined financial statements for periods prior to the Separation have been calculated based on a separate return methodology and presented as if the Company was a standalone taxpayer in each of its tax jurisdictions. Because of the Company’s history of losses as a standalone entity, a full valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets in all periods presented. 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. Because of the Company’s history of losses as a standalone entity, a full valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets in all periods presented.

Unrecognized income tax benefits represent income tax positions taken on income tax returns that have not been recognized in the consolidated and combined 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.

 

(j)(k)

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock units have been excluded from 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 common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents would be dilutive.

Prior to the distribution date of November 21, 2019, there were no Baudax Bio shares outstanding, as such, the shares outstanding immediately after the Distribution were used to calculate the net loss per share for all pre-Separation periods presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:

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 combined financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update (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 $1,174 and an operating lease liability of $1,219. For additional information regarding how the Company is accounting for leases under the new guidance, refer to Note 10 (d)9(d).

 

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. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact to the potential impact onCompany or its 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 combinedconsolidated financial statements.

AcquisitionFair Value of Gainesville Facility and MeloxicamFinancial Instruments

On April 10, 2015, Recro completedThe Company follows the acquisitionprovisions 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 and contingent consideration. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a manufacturing facility in Gainesville, Georgia and the licensing and commercialization rightsparticular input to IV meloxicam (the Gainesville Transaction). The consideration paid in connection with the Gainesville Transaction consisted of $50,000 cash at closing, a $4,000 working capital adjustment and a seven-year warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of Recro’s common stock at an exercise price of $19.46 per share. In addition, the Company may be required to pay up to an additional $125,000 in milestone payments including $45,000 upon regulatory approval of IV meloxicam, as well as net sales milestones related to IV meloxicam and a 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). Under the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration paid and 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 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.

The Company has classified assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

The current portion of the contingent consideration and royalties were allocated torepresents the estimated probability adjusted fair value that is expected to become payable within one year as 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).March 31, 2020.

The assets acquired, including goodwill, and liabilities assumed in the Gainesville Transaction were allocated to Recro’s reporting units as of the date of the acquisition. The accompanying combined financial statements reflect the IPR&D asset of $26,400 and goodwill of $2,127 that were recorded by Baudax Bio related to the Gainesville transaction. The liability for the contingent consideration will be assumed by Baudax Bio following the spin-off and is included in the Company’s Combined Balance Sheets.


The warrant associated with the transaction remains on Recro’s Consolidated Balance Sheets with no allocation to the Company as it is a warrant to purchase Recro common stock.

In December 2018, Recro entered into a second amendment to the purchase and sale agreement among Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited, Alkermes US Holdings (together with Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited, Alkermes), Daravita Limited, Recro and Recro Gainesville LLC (Recro Gainesville) 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, Recro 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 value 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 component is estimated by applying a risk-adjusted discount rate to the probability-adjusted contingent payments and the expected 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. As of March 31, 2020, the fair value calculations used discount rates in the range of 15.08% to 33.74%, with a weighted average of 24.09%.

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.

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 March 31, 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 payable and accrued expenses and approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Licenses and Supply Agreements

The Company is party to an exclusive license with Orion for the development and commercialization of Dexmedetomidine for use in the treatment of pain in humans in any dosage form for transdermal, transmucosal (including sublingual and intranasal), topical, enteral or pulmonary (inhalational) delivery, but specifically excluding delivery vehicles for administration by injection or infusion, worldwide, except for Europe, Turkey and the CIS (currently includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan), referred to herein as the Territory. The Company is required to pay Orion lump sum payments of up to €20,500 ($22,548 as of March 31, 2020) on the achievement of certain developmental and commercial milestones, as well as a royalty on net sales during the term, which varies from 10% to 20% depending on annual sales levels. Through March 31, 2020, no such milestones have been achieved.

The Company is also party to an exclusive license agreement with Orion for the development and commercialization of Fadolmidine for use as a human therapeutic, in any dosage form in the Territory. The Company is required to pay Orion lump sum payments of up to €12,200 ($13,420 as of March 31, 2020) on achievement of certain developmental and commercial milestones, as well as a royalty on net sales during the term, which varies from 10% to 15% depending on annual sales levels. Through March 31, 2020, no such milestones have been achieved.

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.

NMBAs.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 Combined Statements of Operations 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 and contingent consideration. 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 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.

The Company has classified assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

Litigation

Recro and theThe Company areis involved, from time to time, in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Except as disclosed below, Recro and the Company areis 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 Recro and certain of itsRecro’s 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 Recro concerning the NDA for IV meloxicam.ANJESO. 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, Recrothe 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, Recro filed its response and briefing was completed on the motion to dismiss. On June 26, 2019,In response to questions from the judge heard oral arguments onJudge, the parties submitted supplemental briefs with regard to the motion to dismiss.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 judge asked the plaintiffsCompany intends to file a supplemental briefmotion to dismiss as to this complaint.  In connection with the Separation, the Company accepted assignment by August 30, 2019, and Recro will have 30 days to submit a reply brief.  This matter will be transferred to the Companyof all of Recros obligations in connection with the spin-off.Securities Litigation and agreed to indemnify Recro andfor all liabilities related to the Securities Litigation. The Company believehas recorded a liability equal to the estimated fair value of the indemnification to Recro related to this Securities Litigation. The Company believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it. The lawsuit is in the early stages and, atAt this time, no assessment can be made as to its likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to Recro or the Company.

 

(d)

Leases

The Company is a party to various operating leases in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and Dublin, Ireland for office space and office equipment.


The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The arrangement is a lease if it conveys the right to the Company to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease terms vary based on the nature of operations, however, all leased facilities are classified as operating leases with remaining lease terms between 1less than one year and 3 years. Most leases contain specific renewal options where notice to renew must be provided in advance of lease expiration or automatic renewals where no advance notice is required. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease were included in the non-cancellable lease term when exercise of the option was determined to be reasonably certain. Costs determined to be variable and not based on an index or rate were not included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company's effective interest rate was used to discount its lease liabilities.

The Company’s leases with an initial term of 12 months or less that do not have a purchase option or extension that is reasonably certain to be exercised are not included in the right of use asset or lease liability on the CombinedConsolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Overview

We are a pharmaceutical company primarily focused on developing and commercializing innovative products for hospital and related acute care settings. We believe that we can bring valuable therapeutic options for patients, prescribers and payers such as our lead product candidate, IV meloxicam, to the hospital and related acute care markets.

Our first commercial product, ANJESO, had its New Drug Application, or NDA, approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, on February 20, 2020 for the management of moderate to severe pain, alone or in combination with other non-NSAID analgesics. ANJESO is a once daily intravenous, or IV, NSAID with preferential Cox-2 activity, which has successfully completed three Phase III studies, including two pivotal efficacy trials, a large double-blind Phase III safety trial and other safety studies for the management of moderate to severe pain. Overall, the total NDA program included over 1,400 patients. We believe we can create value for our shareholders throughare establishing sales management, marketing and reimbursement functions in connection with the development, registration and commercialization of IV meloxicamANJESO in the United States. We intend to initially launch with a sales team of approximately 50 sales representatives and/or collaborate with third parties who would market ANJESO to health care professionals at our called-on institutions. We may enter into a strategic partnership to commercialize ANJESO outside of the United States and our other pipeline product candidates. In addition to our pipeline, we continue to evaluate acquisition, out-licensing and in-licensing opportunities. We have no revenue and ourare preparing for a commercial launch of ANJESO in the second quarter of 2020. Our costs consist primarily of expenses incurred in conducting our manufacturing scale-up, commercialization of ANJESO, clinical trials and preclinical studies, regulatory activities, pre-commercialization of meloxicam, public-companypublic company and personnel costs.

We expect to incur significant and increasing operating losses for at least the next few years. We expect substantially all of our operating losses to result from costs incurred in connection with our commercialization activities, including manufacturing, and development programs, manufacturing,including our clinical, trials, public-companynon-clinical and pre-commercializationformulation development activities. Our expenses over the next several years are expected to relate to the acquisition or in-license of a product and successful commercialization of the acquired or in-licensed product, obtaining regulatory approval for IV meloxicam and, if approved, successfully commercializing IV meloxicam,ANJESO and continuing to develop our other current and future product candidates. In addition, we may incur costs associated with the acquisition or in-license of products and successful commercialization of the acquired or in-licensed products.

Our efforts to commercialize ANJESO have been and may continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitals have reduced and diverted staffing, diverted resources to patients suffering from COVID-19 and limited hospital access for nonpatients, including our sales professionals, which we believe may impact our marketing and commercialization efforts. A reduction in elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic may also result in decreased demand for ANJESO. We anticipate that many hospitals and health care providers will suffer negative financial consequences due to an increase in unexpected costs, including for additional staff, personal protective equipment and ventilators, along with a reduction in revenue due to fewer elective procedures being performed, which may result in a decreased demand for ANJESO.

 

Separation from Recro Pharma, Inc.

Financial Overview

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses currently consist primarily of costs in connection with the development of IV meloxicamANJESO 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 related 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. The Company expenses costs related to clinical inventory and pre-commercial inventory until it receives approval from the FDA to market a product, at which time the Company commences capitalization of costs relating to that product to inventory. 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;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 testing 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, including obtaining and maintaining patent protections, and other adverse market developments, which could impede our commercial efforts; and

the other risks disclosed in the sectionsections titled “Risk Factors” section of the Form 10.our 2019 Annual Report and this Quarterly Report.

Development timelines, probability of success and development costs vary widely. As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we will assess additional information as we progress through our discussions with the FDA regarding obtaining regulatory approval for IV meloxicam, as well as assess IV meloxicam’sproduct candidate’s commercial potential and our 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.flows.

We expect our research and development costs to continue 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 theANJESO commercialization scale-up and other activities.activities, including We also expect to have expenses related to work for maintenancerequired pediatric post-marketing studies, as well as 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.pipeline.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and administrative expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of compensation and benefits for our sales force and personnel that support our sales and marketing efforts as well as third party consulting costs for the promotion and sale of ANJESO. In addition, sales and marketing expenses include expenses related to communicating the clinical and economic benefits of ANJESO and educational programs for our customers.


General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, pre-commercial, finance and information technology functions. General and administrative expenses also include public company costs, directors and officers insurance, professional fees for legal, including patent-related expenses, consulting, auditing and tax services.

With the recent approval of ANJESO, our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase as we move towards the launch of ANJESO, which is expected in June of 2020.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration

PursuantIn connection with the Separation, we entered into an Assignment and a Partial Assignment, Assumption and Bifurcation Agreement, or the Alkermes Agreements, relating to the Purchase and Sale Agreement entered into for the acquisition of acertain assets, including the worldwide rights to injectable meloxicam and Recro’s development, formulation and manufacturing facility in Gainesville, Georgia and the licensing and commercialization rights for IV meloxicam,business from Alkermes, or the GainesvilleAlkermes Transaction, as amended in December 2018, among2018. Pursuant to the Alkermes Pharma Ireland Limited and Alkermes US Holdings, or Alkermes, Daravita, Recro and Recro Gainesville LLC,Agreements, we are required to pay up to an additional $140.0 million in milestone payments, including $10.0 million that was paid during the first half of 2019, another $5.0 million due within 180 days of approval of IV meloxicamANJESO 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 IVinjectable 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 GainesvilleAlkermes Transaction. We have continued to reevaluate the fair value each subsequent period and as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 recorded a $65.7$94.0 million payment obligation, representing the estimated probability adjusted fair value.value of the liability. 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, March 31, 2020, we have paid $10.0 million in milestone payments to Alkermes.


Income Taxation

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.

 

Income Taxation

We will be able to claim an immediate deduction for investments in qualified fixedmaintained a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets acquiredas of March 31, 2020 and placed in service beginning September 27, 2017 through 2022.  This provision phases out through 2026.2019.

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.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $1.8$3.1 million and $9.8$9.6 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The decrease of $8.0$6.5 million primarily resulted from a decrease in pre-commercialization manufacturing and clinical costs for IV meloxicamANJESO of $4.8$4.0 million, a decrease in development costs for other pipeline products of $2.2$2.1 million and a decrease in personnel costs of $1.0$0.4 million.

Selling, General and Administrative. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.5$8.0 million and $5.1$9.8 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The decrease of $0.6$1.8 million was primarily due to decreased commercial team personnel costs of $1.2$1.6 million and decreased pre-commercial consulting costs of $0.4 million following the receipt of the second complete response letter, or CRL, for IV meloxicam.$0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in public company costs including legal fees and CRL responseof $0.9 million as the prior year costs represent an allocated portion of $1.0 million.the costs in the historical combined financial statements prior to the Separation.


Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was related to the amortization of our intangible asset resulting from R&D activities over its estimated useful life. There was no amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Change in Warrant Valuation. Our warrant valuation increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to an increase in the Black-Scholes values.

 

Change in Contingent Consideration Valuation. OurThe change in contingent consideration valuation was an increase ofin value of $3.9$27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and an increasea decrease in value of $4.1$15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Following the receiptsuccess of the second CRL, we implemented a strategic restructuring initiative, and corresponding reduction in workforce, aimed at reducing operating expenses, while maintaining key personnel neededmilestones tied to select a partner and obtainthe FDA approval of IV meloxicam.ANJESO. The restructuring initiative included a reduction of approximately 50 positions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we have incurred approximately $7.2 million (all $7.2 million was incurred in the first half of 2019) of costs in connection with the strategic restructuring plan which includes severance and related termination benefits and canceled marketing and production costs

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses were $18.6 million and $25.7 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 $9.9 millionresulted from a decrease in pre-commercialization manufacturing and clinical costs for IV meloxicam of $6.7 million, a decrease in personnel costs of $1.9 million, and a decrease in development costs for other pipeline products of $1.3 million.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses were $21.8 million and $24.2 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 $6.8 million was due to a reduction in commercial team personnel of $5.5 million and reduced pre-commercial consulting costs of $2.5 million in preparation of the anticipated launch of IV meloxicam following the receipt of the second CRL. These decreases in costs were partially offset by increases in costs associated with the public company costs including legal fees, of $0.9 million as well as increased professional fees associated with addressing the first and second CRLs issued by the FDA regarding our NDA for IV meloxicam of $0.3 million.

Change in Contingent Consideration Valuation. Our change in contingent consideration valuation consisted of a reduction of value of $15.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 as compared to an increase in value of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The non-cash charge for contingent consideration in each period related to the revaluation of the probability adjusted fair value of the Gainesville Transaction payment obligation. The decrease of $22.2 million was due to the adjusted timing of estimated milestone and royalty payments after the receipt of the second CRL from the FDA in March 2019.payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, we had $38.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Historically, the primary source of liquidity for our business was cash flow allocatedprovided to us from Recro.  Prior to the Separation, transfers of cash to and from Recro arewere reflected in Net Parent Investment in the historical combined balance sheets, statements of cash flows and statements of changes in Net Parent Investment. We have not reported cash or cash equivalents for the periods presented in the combined balance sheets. We expect Recrosheets prior to continuethe Separation.

On March 26, 2020, we closed an underwritten public offering of 7,692,308 shares of our common stock, Series A warrants to fundpurchase 7,692,308 shares of our cash needs throughcommon stock and Series B warrants to purchase 7,692,308 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $4.59 per share for Series A Warrants and at an exercise price of $3.25 per share for Series B Warrants, for net proceeds to the dateCompany of the Separation.approximately $23.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.

Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, prior to or upon the completion of the Distribution, Recro will makemade a cash capital contribution of $19 million to us to fund our initial operations. This cash capital contribution is in an amount that we estimate will, based on our current plans and expectations, meet our cash needs for at least 12 months after the completion of the Separation. Subsequent to the Separation, we will no longer participate in Recro’s centralized cash management or benefit from direct funding from Recro. Our ability to fund our operations and capital needs will depend on our ability to raise additional funds through debt financings, bank or other loans, licensing, including out-licensing activities, sale of assets and/or marketing arrangements, the exercise of our short-dated warrants, 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.


We anticipate that our principal uses of cash in the future will be primarily to launch and commercialize ANJESO and to fund our operations, pipeline development activities, working capital needs, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash used in operations was $42.1$6.3 million and $46.8$14.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, which represents our operating losses less our non-cash items including: stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization, changes in warrant valuations, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities.

There was no cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million and $2.2$0.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,which was primarily due to our capital expenditures were $1.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.of $0.3 million.

There was $43.9$26.9 million of cash provided by financing activities in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from net proceeds of from parent company investmentthe public offering of $53.9$23.3 million which was partially offset by $10.0 millionand net proceeds of contingent consideration payments.our equity facility of $3.6 million. There was $49.0$14.8 million of cash provided by financing activities infor the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from net proceeds from parent company investment.investment of $19.8 million, partially offset by a payment of contingent consideration of $5.0 million.

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

our relationships with Recro, third parties, licensors, collaborators and our employees;

our ability to continue to operate as a standalone company and execute our strategic priorities;

potential indemnification liabilities we may owe to Recro after the Separation;Recro;


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

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

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

the scope, progress, results and costs of development for our other product candidates;

the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our other product candidates;

the cost of manufacturing scale-up, acquiring drug product and other capital equipment for our other product candidates;

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;assets;

our ability to defend the securities class action lawsuit filed against Recro, or any future material litigation filed against us;

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

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 separationSeparation and changes in tax laws.


We may not actually achieve the plans, intentionsmight use existing cash and cash equivalents on hand, debt, equity financing, sale of assets or expectations disclosedout-licensing revenue or a combination thereof to fund our operations or product acquisitions. If we obtain debt financing, we might be restricted in our forward-looking statements,ability to raise additional capital and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual resultsmight be subject to financial and restrictive covenants. Our shareholders may experience dilution as a result of the issuance of additional equity or events could differ materially fromdebt securities. This dilution may be significant depending upon the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report, particularly under “Risk Factors,”amount of equity or debt securities that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially fromissue and the forward-looking statements thatprices at which we make.

The amount reflects only payment obligations that are fixed and determinable. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of certain of these payments because they are dependent on the type and complexity of the clinical studies and intended uses of the products, which have not been established. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, certain of these obligations are not recorded on our CombinedConsolidated Balance Sheets.

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 September 30, 2019.March 31, 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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 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

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

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 Recro and certain of Recro’s 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 usRecro concerning the NDA for IV meloxicam.ANJESO. 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, Recro filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety, which the lead plaintiff opposed on April 9, 2019. On May 9, 2019, the CompanyRecro filed its response and briefing was completed on the motion to dismiss. On June 26, 2019,In response to questions from the judge heard oral arguments onJudge, the parties submitted supplemental briefs with regard to the motion to dismiss.  The judge askeddismiss the plaintiffsamended 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. We intend to file a supplemental brief, which was completed on August 30, 2019, and Recro submitted a reply brief on September 27, 2019.  As part ofmotion to dismiss as to this complaint.  In connection with the Separation, we are assumingaccepted assignment by Recro of all of Recros obligations in connection with the Securities Litigation and agreed to indemnify Recro for all liabilities related to this litigation from Recro.the Securities Litigation. We believe that the lawsuit is without merit and intendsintend to vigorously defend against it. The lawsuit is in the early stages and, atAt 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.

Information regardingYou should carefully consider the risk factors appearsdescribed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Information Related to Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part I – Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and inour 2019 Annual Report, under the “Risk Factors” section of the Form 10.caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Except as set forth below, there werehave been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report.

The COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely affect our financial results.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Through the three months ended March 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on our business. However, efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified. Every state in the United States has declared a state of emergency, and a majority of states have enacted travel advisories and temporary closures of businesses, issued quarantine orders and taken other restrictive measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the United States, our business has been designated an essential business, which allows us to continue operations at this time. However, the continued spread of COVID-19 may continue to cause economic disruptions of indeterminable duration and intensity or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business. We may need to reduce our workforce or implement additional cost-mitigating strategies, which could materially affect our ability to manufacture and deliver our products.

We need additional capital to fund our operations and commercially launch ANJESO. However, the continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets. Our ability to access the capital markets or otherwise raise such capital is unknown during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 to the risk factors reported in the “Risk Factors” section of the Information Statement.

Our appeal relating to the NDA for IV Meloxicam has been granted, however,COVID-19 pandemic and 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 guaranteeassurance that we will be able to do so in a timely manner,obtain sufficient amounts of capital as and when needed. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause an economic slowdown or at all. In addition, if the approved labelingrecession or cause other unpredictable events, each 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.

Our planned spin-off from Recro 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, Recro announced the intent to spin-off its acute care segment from its CDMO segment, resulting in two independent, publicly traded companies, Recro Pharma, Inc. and Baudax Bio, Inc. The separation of its business segments is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019 and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  Adverse market conditions or delays or difficulties effecting the planned separation could delay or prevent, or adversely impact the anticipated benefits from, the planned separation. We may not complete the separation on the terms or on the timeline that we announced, or may, for any or no reason and at any time until the planned separation is complete, abandon the separation or modify or change its terms. Any of the foregoing may result in our not achieving the operational, financial, strategic and other benefits we anticipate, and in each case, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We have incurred and will continue to incur significant expenses in connection with the planned separation, and such costs and expenses may be greater than we anticipate.  In addition, completion of the spin-off will require a significant amount of management time


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 operations andor financial condition. Further, the United States federal government has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with economic stimulus programs, but we cannot provide any assurance if these or any other governmental responses or actions will provide any intended economic benefits to us or will improve our access to additional capital in the public or private markets.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid and continues to evolve, and therefore, we cannot predict the extent to which our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity will ultimately be impacted, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely.


The COVID-19 pandemic may delay, or otherwise negatively impact the commercial launch ofANJESO.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several countries, including the United States, have implemented severe travel restrictions, social distancing and delays or cancelations of elective surgeries. The outbreak of COVID-19 poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting normal business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.

Hospitals have begun to reduce and divert staffing, divert resources to patients suffering from the infectious disease and limit hospital access for non-patients, including our sales professionals. In addition, travel restrictions due to COVID-19 have impacted our sales professionals’ ability to travel to hospitals. These circumstances have negatively impacted the ability of our sales professionals to effectively market to hospital pharmacists and formulary committees, which may delay or have a material adverse impact on our commercial launch of ANJESO. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, an impact on the number or patients suffering from post-surgical pain, as hospitals cancel elective surgeries and patients postpone these procedures due to COVID-19 concerns, which may reduce demand for ANJESO and negatively impact our ability to successfully commercialize ANJESO. Hospitals and healthcare systems may be financially impacted by the costs associated with the treatment of individuals suffering from COVID-19 and the general reduction in elective surgeries. Although we are unable at this time to determine the extent of the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital and healthcare systems, it is possible that the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may reduce hospital and healthcare system demand for ANJESO, which could have a material adverse impact on our commercial launch of ANJESO.

COVID-19 has and will continue to have an impact on ports and trade globally. We currently rely on Alkermes plc, or Alkermes, and Patheon UK Limited, or Patheon, for supply of ANJESO from locations in Ireland and Italy. There is a risk that supplies of ANJESO may be significantly delayed or may become unavailable as a result of COVID-19 and the resulting impact on Alkermes’ and Patheon’s labor force and operations, including as a result of governmental restrictions on business operations and the movement of people and goods in an effort to curtail the spread of the virus. There can be no assurance that we would be able to timely implement any mitigation plans. Disruptions in our supply chain, whether as a result of restricted travel, quarantine requirements or otherwise, could negatively impact our ability to supply and sell ANJESO.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our efforts to commercialize ANJESO is uncertain and will depend upon future developments. We are monitoring the situation and taking steps to minimize the disruption to our commercialization efforts of the COVID-19 pandemic, but there can be no assurance that such actions will be successful, which could have a negative impact on our ability to successfully commercialize ANJESO.
