RECRO PHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements

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

(Unaudited)

(1)Background

(1)

Background

Recro Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on November 15, 2007.2007. The Company is a leadingdedicated contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) with integrated solutionssolving complex formulation and manufacturing challenges for the development, formulation, regulatory support, manufacturing, and packaging ofcompanies developing oral solid dose drug products. It leverages its formulation and development expertise to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products using proprietary delivery technologies and know-how for commercial partners who commercialize or plan to commercialize these products. The Company operates in 1 segment.

In November 2019, the Company’s former Acute Care business, which developed products for hospital and other acute care settings, was spun-out through its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Baudax Bio, Inc. (“Baudax Bio”) when the Company completed a special dividend distribution of all the outstanding shares of common stock of Baudax Bio to its shareholders. See note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about the spin-off of Baudax Bio.

The Company has incurred net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $220,587$239,911 as of June 30, 2020,2021, which is mostlyprimarily related to the activities that are presented as discontinued operations as a result of the spin-off of Baudax Bio.its former research and development business, which was spun-out in 2019. The Company’s future operations are highly dependent on the continued profitability of its manufacturing operations. Management believes that it is probable that the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

(2)Summary of significant accounting principles

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

(2)

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 (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In accordance with SECSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules for interim financial statements, certain information required by U.S. GAAP 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 six months ended June 30, 2020interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.year.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Use of estimates

(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.

Cash and cash equivalents

(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, plant and equipment

Property, plant 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 computer equipment; six to ten years for manufacturing equipment; 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. The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for recoverability whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of individual assets or asset groups may not be recoverable.

5


Goodwill and intangible assets

(e)

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 prescribesanalysis for goodwill consists of an optional qualitative assessment potentially followed by a one-step method for determining impairment.

The one-step quantitative test calculatesanalysis. If 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 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. The Company is required to reviewdetermines that the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assetsits reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for recoverability whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.excess.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of November 30th, or whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would require reassessment of the recoverability of goodwill. In performing the evaluation, the Company assesses qualitative factors such as overall financial performance, anticipated changes in industry and market conditions, and competitive environments.

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The Company performed its last annual impairment test asis required to review the carrying value of November 30, 2019.definite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Revenue recognition

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.

(f)

Revenue Recognition

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

Manufacturing revenue

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 RevenueProfit-sharing

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


the most-likely amountexpected value method based on historical customercommercial partner pricing and deductions anddeductions. Estimated variable consideration 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.partners, which are outside of the Company’s control. Factors causing price adjustments by the Company’s commercial partners include increased competition in the products’ markets, mix of volume between the commercial partners’ customers, and changes in government pricing.

Research and Developmentdevelopment

Research and development revenue includes services associated with formulation, process development, CTMclinical trials materials services, as well as custom development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods for a customer’s non-clinical, clinical and commercial products. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the nature and particular facts and circumstances associated with the contract terms.

In contracts 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 we havethe Company has continuing performance obligations would beare deferred and recognized over the period of performance. Milestone payments that are not within ourthe Company’s 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.

6


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

(g)

Concentration of Credit Risk

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

The Company’s accounts receivable balances are primarily concentrated among 43 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 is dependent on its relationships with a small number of commercial partners, with its 43 largest customers having generated 95%90% or more of its revenues for the periods presented. A portion of the Company’s revenues are dependent on U.S. based customers selling to end-users outside the United States.

Stock-based compensation expense

(h)

Stock-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.

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, whichwhich 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 its 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.

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 bothdistribution: 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.

Income taxes

(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, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

7


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.

Income or loss per share

(j)

Income or Loss Per Share

Basic income or loss per common share is determined by dividing net income or loss (the numerator) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.period (the denominator).

For purposes of calculatingTo calculate 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, using the treasury stock method, if the inclusion of such instruments would be dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:2021 and for both of the 2020 periods presented, the Company incurred a net loss. In periods of net loss, the inclusion of dilutive securities would be antidilutive because it would reduce the amount of loss incurred per share. As a result, no additional dilutive shares were included in diluted loss per share, and there were no differences between basic and diluted loss per share.

Discontinued Operations

On November 21, 2019 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the separation (the “Separation”) of its former Acute Care business by distributing to the Company’s shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Baudax Bio, the entity the Company incorporated to hold 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 outstanding as of 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 contributed $19,000 of cash to Baudax 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 employee 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 the 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 the transfer or assignment of employees from the Company to Baudax 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.

The following is a summary of the Acute Care business expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

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 and certain 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 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, 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.

Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

Fair value disclosures

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 June 30, 2020,2021, the financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheetsconsolidated balance sheets that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses andexpenses. The carrying values of these accounts approximate fair value due to thetheir short-term nature of these instruments.nature.

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 its debt, a level 2 measurement, approximated fair value at June 30, 2020 because (i)2021 due to the termsFebruary 2021 amendment of borrowings under the Credit Agreement are equivalent to the termsand taking into consideration management's current evaluation of other borrowings currently available to the Company; and (ii) the fair value of the PPP Note, which carries a fixed interest rate below market is not materially different from its carrying value.conditions.

Term Loans under Credit Agreement

On November 17, 2017, the Company entered into a $100,000 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP (“Athyrium”). The Credit Agreement provided for a term loan in the original principal amount of $60,000 funded at closing. In December 2018, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the $20,000 term B loan and $20,000 term C loan provided for under the Credit Agreement, which were contingent on the Company receiving approval of IV meloxicam (developed by the Company’s Acute Care segment) by December 31, 2018, were restructured into (i) a $10,000 term B-1 loan, funded on December 28, 2018; (ii) a $15,000 term B-2 loan; and (iii) a $15,000 term C loan.

On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Athyrium. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, (i) the total commitments of the term loan credit facility governed by the Credit Agreement was increased from $100,000 to $125,000, (ii) the $15,000 term B-2 loan and $15,000 term C loan provided for under the Credit Agreement were restructured into a $55,000 term B-2 loan, which was funded on the date of execution of the Second Amendment and (iii) the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). Beginning on March 31, 2021, the Company must repay the outstanding principal amount in quarterly installments of $3,000 with the outstanding principal balance due on the Maturity Date.

On October 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with Athyrium. The Third Amendment authorized the release of two of the Company’s subsidiaries, Baudax Bio and Baudax Bio N.A. LLC (formerly known as Recro N.A. LLC) (“Baudax Bio N.A.”), from their respective obligations as guarantors and the release of any liens granted to or held by Athyrium on collateral provided by or equity interests in Baudax Bio and Baudax Bio N.A., including the security interest in Baudax Bio Limited (formerly Recro Ireland Limited) (the “Release”) under the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Release was applicable only to Baudax Bio and Baudax Bio N.A. and did not affect or modify any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors (other than Baudax Bio and Baudax Bio N.A.) under the Credit Agreement, except that it increased the permitted leverage ratio (which is the Company’s indebtedness under the Credit Agreement divided by EBITDA, each as defined) to 5.00:1.00.

The term loans bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR rate, with a 1% floor plus 9.75% per annum. In addition, in accordance with the Credit Agreement, as amended (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) the Company will have to pay a 1% exit fee, which is $1,250 at the current outstanding loan balance and is being accreted to the carrying amount of the debt using the effective interest method over the term of the loan. In addition, if there is an early repayment, there is a sliding scale of prepayment penalties beginning with a 10% penalty and including a make-whole interest payment. NaN prepayment penalties are assessed for payments made after March 31, 2022.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to each of Athyrium and its affiliate, Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP (“Athyrium II”), to purchase an aggregate of 348,664 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $8.6043 per share. In connection with the First Amendment, the warrants were amended to decrease the exercise price to $6.84 per share. See note 12(d) for additional information. The warrants are exercisable through November 17, 2024. The initial fair value of the warrant and revaluation adjustment from the repricing of the warrants of $2,232 was recorded as a debt issuance cost.

In addition, the Company recorded debt issuance costs for the Amended Credit Agreement of $4,439 at original signing, an amendment fee of $500 as well as certain other fees and expenses in December 2018, and recorded debt


issuance costs for the Second Amendment consisting of a $2,500 amendment fee, $436 closing fee and $11,400 original issue discount which, along with the fair value of warrants, are being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Amended Credit Agreement. Debt issuance cost amortization is included in interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2020, the effective interest rate was 15.98%, which takes into consideration the non-cash accretion of the exit fee, the amortization of the debt issuance cost and the original issue discount.Litigation

The Company recorded debt issuance cost amortization related to the Amended Credit Agreement of $1,384 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and $2,768 and $2,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Note

On May 12, 2020, the Company entered into a $4,416 promissory note with PNC Bank under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the “CARES Act,” collectively the “PPP Note”). The note has a two-year term, matures 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 PPP Note at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.

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 less than one year and 5 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.

Overview

We are a leadingdedicated contract development and manufacturing organization, or CDMO, with integrated solutionssolving complex formulation and manufacturing challenges for the development, formulation, regulatory support, manufacturing and packaging ofcompanies developing oral solid dose drug products. We have operated through a single CDMO business segment since the completion of the spin-off of our historical Acute Care business segment, which developed products for hospital and other acute care settings, on November 21, 2019.

We leverage our formulation and development expertise to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products using proprietary delivery technologies and know-how for commercial partners who develop and commercialize or plan to commercialize these products. These collaborations can result in revenue streams including manufacturing, royalties, profit sharing,In 2020, we launched our clinical trials support services capabilities, which includes preparation of clinical trial supplies, as well as specialized services dedicated to the development and development.Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, of high-potency products. We operate a 97,000 square foot, DEA-licensed manufacturing facility in Gainesville, Georgia, as well as a 24,000 square foot development, high-potency product and high potency productclinical packaging facility in Gainesville, Georgia.Georgia that we opened in October 2018. 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 and Verapamil SR, and Zohydro ER®, as well as CDMO services for supporting development stage products.

Our manufacturing and development capabilities include formulation, product development from formulation through clinical trial and commercial manufacturing, and specialized capabilities for solid oral dosage forms, extended release and controlled substance manufacturing, as well as high potency development and manufacturing. In a typical collaboration, we work with our partners to develop product candidates, or new formulations of existing product candidates, and may license certain intellectual property to such partners. We also typically exclusively manufacture and supply clinical and commercial supplies of these proprietary products and product candidates.

We have used cash flow generated by our business primarily to fund operations atthe growth of our Gainesville, Georgia manufacturing facilities,CDMO business, to fund oura historical Acute Careacute care research and development business that was spun off in 2019, and to make payments under our credit facility. We believe our business will continue to contribute cash for future operations atto fund our Gainesville facilitiesgrowth, make payments under our credit facility and other general corporate purposes.

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 outstanding shares of common stock of Baudax Bio to our shareholders. On November 21, 2019, the distribution date, each of our shareholders received one share of Baudax Bio’s common stock, or the Distribution, for every two and one-half shares of our common stock held of record at the close of business on November 15, 2019, the record date for the Distribution. Additionally, we contributed $19 million of cash to Baudax Bio in connection with the separation, 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 continues 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:Operations. We have institutedare continuing to follow appropriate safety protocols to have appropriate personnel work remotely and have implementedincluding strict social distancing and other protective measures for those employees continuing to supportsupporting essential operations at our plant. We are also supporting continued remote work locations in orderarrangements for other personnel not required to ensure the health of our employees while continuingwork on site.

Business development. We continue 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 experiencedexperience lower than expected newgrowth in our development business, growth, which we believe is primarilypartially attributable to COVID-19. Concerns surrounding COVID-19We have resulted in our adoption ofresponded to these challenges by adopting new methods for meeting and contacting customers. Meanwhile, some customers have slowed customer access, and have caused delays in plans for development services by somebegun easing restrictions, but these measures vary among customers and prospectsfrom state to state. Other customers continue to delay their development plans for a variety of reasons such as concerns about the timing of clinical trials.

Manufacturing Demand:demand. We believe that there has beencontinues to be lower end-user demand for some of the commercial products we manufacture for our customers dueas compared to periods prior to the effectsonset of COVID-19.the COVID-19 pandemic. Third party national data demonstrates that there has beenwas 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.medications.

Our sales and manufacturing operations could be furtherfor the first half of 2021 were disrupted as a result of the pandemic because of production slowdowns, stoppages orand decreased demand for the products we manufacture. Given the uncertain scope and duration ofWhile we are not currently expecting that future results will be materially impacted by the pandemic, there can be no assurance that such future results will not be impacted. While vaccines have proven effective in reducing the extentseverity and mortality of COVID-19, including the variants that have evolved to whichdate, the overall vaccination rate in the United States has not reached the level required for herd immunity. Certain variants of COVID-19, such as the delta variant, are proving to be more easily spread than earlier variants. We may also be adversely impacted by broader economic effects associated with the pandemic such as inflation, changes in laws and general volatility in the markets. The continued low vaccination rate, and the emergence of new variants, which could prove resistant to existing vaccines, could again result in major disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Financial overview

Revenues

We recognize three types of revenue: manufacturing, volumesprofit-sharing 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 costsresearch and drive more new business, and we are actively evaluating various ways to further conserve operational resources.development.

Financial OverviewManufacturing

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 first 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 periods presented, we recognized revenues from three revenue streams: manufacturing revenue, royalty revenue and development revenue.

Manufacturing Revenue

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.

RoyaltyProfit-sharingRevenue

We recognize royaltyprofit-sharing or profit-sharingroyalty revenue, collectively referred to as royaltyprofit-sharing revenue, related to the sale of products by our commercial partners that incorporate our technologies. Royalty technologies. Profit-sharing revenues are generally recognized under the terms of the applicable license, development and/or supply agreement. For arrangements that include sales-based royaltiesprofit-sharing and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate,profit-sharing relates, we recognize revenue when the related sales occur by the commercial partner. For arrangements that include sales-based royaltiesprofit-sharing and the license is not deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate,profit-sharing relates, we recognize revenue when the performance obligation to which the royaltyprofit-sharing has been allocated has been satisfied, which is upon transfer of control of a product to a customer. In this case,these cases, significant judgment is used inrequired to calculate the estimation of these royaltiesestimated variable consideration from such profit-sharing using the expected value method based on historical customercommercial partner pricing and deductions anddeductions. Estimated variable consideration 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, which are outside of our control. Factors causing price adjustments by our commercial partners include increased competition in the products’ markets, mix of volume between the commercial partners’ customers, and changes in government pricing.

Research and Development Revenuedevelopment

Research and development revenue includes services associated with formulation, process development, CTMclinical trial material and clinical trial support services, as well as custom development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods for a customer’s non-clinical, clinical and commercial products. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time or over time depending on the nature and particular facts and circumstances associated with the contract terms.

In contracts that specify milestones, we evaluate whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved and estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. Milestone payments related to arrangements under which we have continuing performance obligations would beare 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.

In 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 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 our services and can make changes to its process or specifications upon request.


Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses

Cost of sales consists of inventory costs, including production wages, material costs and overhead, and other costs related to the recognition of revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses consistconsists of salaries and related costs for corporate administrative, public company costs, and business development personnel as well as legal, patent-related expenses and consulting fees. Public company costs include compliance, auditing services, tax services, insurance and investor relations.

We expect our business development expenses to increase in 2020, compared to prior year,2021 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 CTMdevelopment capabilities.

For the first half of 2021, we qualified for approximately $2.7 million of federal employee retention credits. The employee retention credits are recognized as offsets to our expenses in the same period that the related employee expenditures are recognized. The expense offset for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Based on the current form of the credits, we could qualify for an additional $1 million to $3 million during the remainder of 2021. However, any future changes to our business or to the rules surrounding the credit could impact our ability to receive and recognize those future credits.

Amortization of Intangible Assetsintangible assets

We recognizerecognized amortization expense related to thean intangible asset for our profit-sharing and contract manufacturing relationships on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of six years. Amortization stopped when the intangible asset reached the end of its useful life in April 2021.

Change in Fair Value of WarrantsInterest expense

We had previously classified as liabilities certain warrants then outstanding that contained a contingent net cash settlement feature, upon a change in control. The fair value of these warrants was remeasured through settlement or expiration with changes in fair value recognized as a period charge within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 was included in the change in warrant valuation for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the periods presented primarily includes interest expense incurred onrelates to our Athyrium senior secured term loans and the amortization of related financing costscosts.

Net operating losses and interest expense on a promissory note with PNC Bank under the Small Business Administration, or “SBA, Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020, or the CARES Act, and collectively the PPP note.tax carryforwards

Net Operating Losses and Tax Carryforwards

As of December 31, 2019,2020, we had approximately $121.6 million of federal net operating loss, carryforwards. We also hador NOL, carry forwards of approximately $130.6 million, $122.4 million of which have an indefinite carry forward period. The remaining $8.2 million of federal NOL carry forwards, $127.4 million of state NOL carry forwards and federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $4.4 million are also 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 losses, which have an indefinite carry forward period, these federal and state net operating loss and federal and state tax credit carryforwardsincome, but they will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2028 if not utilized. We believe that it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets associated with our U.S. operations will not be realized, and as such, there is a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets.

Revenue. The decreaseincrease of $15.7$2.5 million was primarily the result of increased product sales from one of our commercial partners as well as higher revenues from our clinical trial materials business including revenue from a new commercial product tech transfer project. These increases were partially offset by decreases in product sales due to the discontinuation of two commercial product lines by our commercial partners.

Cost of sales. The increase of $0.7 million was primarily due to decreased product saleshigher commercial manufacturing volumes and royalties recognized from three of our commercial partners. The first key customer experiencedis partially offset by lower market share compared to 2019costs 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 linecertain employment incentive tax credits 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, overall COVID-19 market force impacts to all of our customers, discontinuations of product lines by two of our customers, slower than expected new project starts and potential delays in customers programs may continue to impact our revenue in the third and fourth quarters of 2020. We are continuing to monitor the impacts of these events and the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and revenues.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased $2.5 million and was 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$0.5 million was primarily related to lower public company costs and lower travel and marketing costs driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which were partially offset by higher selling costs due to increased headcount and associated personnel costs focused on business development, as well as completion of readiness for the CTM business.stock based compensation expense.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization expenseThe decrease of $0.5 million was $0.6 million for both three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 which was related tobecause the amortization of the CDMO royalties and contract manufacturing relationships intangible asset over its estimated useful life.acquired in 2015 ended on April 10, 2021.

Change in warrant valuation. Previously, certain warrants were outstanding whose fair value was remeasured each period with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The last of those warrants were exercised in November 2019.

Interest expense. The decrease of $0.2$1.0 million was primarily due to reduced term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement with Athyrium as well as a slight decrease in the LIBOR base rate of interest on our term loans under the Credit Agreement with Athyrium.Agreement.

Revenue. The decrease of $19.0$2.5 million in revenue was primarily due to decreased product sales and royalties recognized from three of our commercial partners.

Liquidity and Capital Resourcescapital resources

As ofAt June 30, 2020,2021, we had $22.8$45.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Since our inception, through June 30, 2020, we have financed our product development, operations and capital expenditures primarily from salesthe issuance of equity and debt securities, and term loans made under our previous and existing credit facilities.debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2020,first half of 2021, our capital expenditures were $2.2$2.1 million to scale and primarily relatedsupport our expansion of capabilities.

We are party to equipmenta credit agreement with Athyrium, or the Credit Agreement, which has been fully drawn. The Credit Agreement requires us to repay the outstanding principal amount of $100.0 million on March 31, 2023. The Credit Agreement also includes certain financial covenants that the Company will need to satisfy on a monthly and facility modificationsquarterly basis, including: 1) maintaining a permitted net leverage ratio, calculated as our indebtedness, net of cash and cash equivalents, divided by EBITDA, each as defined in the Credit Agreement; and 2) a minimum amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand.

We are also party to support a new customer.an amended common stock purchase agreement with Aspire Capital Fund LLC, or Aspire Capital. The amended agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the agreement, Aspire Capital is committed to purchase, at our sole election, up to an aggregate value of $41.2 million in shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2021, there is availability to issue up to $30.0 million or 6,199,299 shares of common stock under the 2019 Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

We may require additional financing and if we do, we may raise such 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 to access to capital.

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, 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 June 30, 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.

Forward-looking factors

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

the extent to which we in-license, acquire or invest in products, businesses and technologies;
the timing and extent of our manufacturing and capital expenditures;
our ability to maintain or expand our relationships and contracts with our commercial partners;
our ability to grow and diversify our business with new customers, including our ability to meet desired project outcomes with development customers;
our ability to regain profitability;
our ability to comply with stringent U.S. & foreign government regulation in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products, including cGMP and U.S. DEA requirements;
our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or sale of certain assets;
the costs of preparing, submitting and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property claims; and

22


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

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.

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 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. Our shareholders may experience dilution as a result of the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. This dilution may be significant depending upon the amount of equity or debt securities that we issue and the prices at which we issue any securities.

Debt obligations consist of principal, an exit fee of 1% of that principal, and interest on $100.0 million of outstanding term loans under our credit facility with Athyrium. Because the Athyrium term loans bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, we estimated future interest commitments utilizing the LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2021. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the future interest obligations are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet.
(2)
Purchase obligations consist of cancelable and non-cancelable purchase commitments related to inventory, capital expenditures and other goods or services. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these obligations are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets.
(3)
We are party to a seven-year operating lease for a development facility in Georgia that ends in 2025. The lease includes options to extend for up to 15 additional years at our discretion.
(4)
We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers that provide for, among other things, severance commitments of up to $1.3 million should we terminate the named executive officers for convenience or if certain events occur following a change in control. In addition, we would be subject to other contingencies of up to $3.6 million in the aggregate if certain events occur following a change in control; because these obligations are contingent, the amounts are not included in the table above.

Debt obligations consist of principal, an exit fee of 1% of that principal, and interest on $125.0 million of outstanding term loans under our credit facility with Athyrium in addition to principal and interest on $3.3 of outstanding borrowings under the PPP Note. Because the Athyrium term loans bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, we estimated future interest commitments utilizing the LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2020. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the future interest obligations are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controlsdisclosure controls and Proceduresprocedures

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 June 30, 2020.2021. 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 June 30, 2020,2021, 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 Controlinternal control over Financial Reportingfinancial 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.

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, therefactors.

There have been no material changes infrom our risk factors disclosedas previously reported in our 2019 Annual Report and our Q1 Quarterly Report.

We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our recently received Paycheck Protection Program Loan, and our application for the Paycheck Protection Program Loan could in the future be determined to have been impermissible or could result in damage to our reputation.

On May 12, 2020, we received loan proceeds of approximately $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 standard terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. On May 18, 2020, we prepaid $1.1 million of the amount due under the PPP Note, which was within the safe harbor time period for repayment established by the Small 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 Maturity Date. The amounts outstanding under the PPP Note may be prepaid by us at any time prior to maturity without penalty. Under the CARES Act, as amended in June 2020, loan forgiveness is generally available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the date of the first 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 workforce, our need for additional funding to continue operations, and our 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 required to return or repay some or all of the PPP Note, together with interest on the loan, which could reduce our liquidity, and potentially subject us to fines and penalties.

Aspire Capital Amended Purchase Agreement

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.Item 5. Other information.

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.None.

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.
