Business Organization and Presentation	'
	1. Business Organization and Presentation
	Business organization
	Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vanda or the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Vanda commenced its operations in 2003. Vanda’s product portfolio includes tasimelteon, a product for the treatment of circadian rhythm sleep disorders, which is currently in clinical development for Non-24-Hour Disorder (Non-24) and for which a New Drug Application (NDA) is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Fanapt®, a product for the treatment of schizophrenia, the oral formulation of which is currently being marketed and sold in the U.S. by Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis), and VLY-686, a small molecule neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist.
	Basis of presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The financial information as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
	The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	Use of estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	On January 1, 2013, Vanda adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The changes require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. Adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the new standard will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Share	'
	2. Earnings per Share
	Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potential outstanding common stock for the period. Potential outstanding common stock includes stock options and shares underlying Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), but only to the extent that their inclusion is dilutive.
	The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	(in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)	September 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,

	Anti-dilutive securities excluded from calculations of diluted net loss per share:
	Stock options and restricted stock units		3,801,651			5,150,778			4,556,838			5,184,757
	The Company incurred net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 causing inclusion of any potentially dilutive securities to have an anti-dilutive effect, resulting in dilutive loss per share and basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders being equivalent.

Fair Value Measurements	'
	4. Fair Value Measurements
	Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
	•	Level 1 — defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets
	•	Level 2 — defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
	•	Level 3 — defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions
	The Company did not hold any marketable securities as of September 30, 2013. Marketable securities classified in Level 1 and Level 2 at December 31, 2012 consist of available-for-sale marketable securities. The valuation of Level 1 instruments is determined using a market approach, and is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The valuation of investments classified in Level 2 also is determined using a market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 securities include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate notes that use as their basis readily observable market parameters.
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company did not hold any assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
	As of December 31, 2012, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as follows:
		Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	(in thousands)	December 31,		Quoted Prices in		Significant Other		Significant
		2012		Active Markets for		Observable Inputs		Unobservable Inputs

				(Level 1)
	Available-for-sale securities	$	31,631	$	14,442	$	17,189	$	—
	The Company also has financial assets and liabilities, not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying value of which materially approximate their fair values.

	In May 2009, the Company announced that the FDA had approved the New Drug Application (NDA) for Fanapt®. As a result of this approval, the Company met a milestone under its original sublicense agreement with Novartis which required the Company to make a license payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. The $12.0 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt®, which the Company expects to last until May 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that provides patent protection for drug compounds for a period of five years to compensate for time spent in development and a six-month pediatric term extension. Fanapt® has qualified for the full five-year patent term Hatch-Waxman extension and the Company expects that Fanapt® will be eligible for six months of pediatric exclusivity. This term is the Company’s best estimate of the life of the patent; if, however, the pediatric extension is not granted, the intangible asset will be amortized over a shorter period.
	The intangible asset is being amortized over its estimated useful economic life using the straight-line method. Amortization expense was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company capitalized and began amortizing the asset immediately following the FDA approval of the NDA for Fanapt®.

	The Company entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis in October 2009, pursuant to which Novartis has the right to commercialize and develop Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Under the amended and restated sublicense agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $200.0 million in December 2009. The Company and Novartis established a Joint Steering Committee (JSC) following the effective date of the amended and restated sublicense agreement. The Company concluded that the JSC constitutes a deliverable under the amended and restated sublicense agreement and that revenue related to the upfront payment will be recognized ratably over the term of the JSC; however, the delivery or performance has no term as the exact length of the JSC is undefined. As a result, the Company deems the performance period of the JSC to be the life of the U.S. patent of Fanapt®, which the Company expects to last until May 2017. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that provides patent protection for drug compounds for a period of five years to compensate for time spent in development and a six-month pediatric term extension. Fanapt® has qualified for the full five-year patent term Hatch-Waxman extension and the Company expects that Fanapt® will be eligible for six months of pediatric exclusivity. This term is the Company’s best estimate of the life of the patent. Revenue related to the upfront payment will be recognized ratably from the date the amended and restated sublicense agreement became effective (November 2009) through the expected life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt® (May 2017).

	Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The fact that the Company has historically generated net operating losses (NOLs) serves as strong evidence that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. Therefore, the Company has a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Changes in ownership may limit the amount of NOL carryforwards that can be utilized in the future to offset taxable income.

The minimum annual future payments for operating leases consists of the lease for office space for the Company’s headquarters located in Washington, D.C., which expires in 2023.

In July 2011, the Company entered into an office lease with Square 54 Office Owner LLC (the Landlord) for its current headquarters, consisting of 21,400 square feet at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. (the Lease). Under the Lease, rent payments were abated for the first 12 months, and the Landlord will provide the Company with an allowance of $1.9 million for leasehold improvements. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had received the full allowance. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants in the building, the Company has the right to renew the Lease for five years following the expiration of its original term. The Company has the right to sublease or assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions. The Lease may be terminated early by the Company or the Landlord upon certain conditions.

As a result of the Company’s relocation from its former headquarters office space in Rockville, Maryland to Washington, D.C., the Company provided notice in the fourth quarter of 2011 to the landlord that it was terminating the Rockville lease effective June 30, 2013. As a result, the Company recognized an expense of $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 related to a lease termination penalty, of which $0.6 million was included as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $0.1 million was included as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the first quarter 2012, the Company ceased using the Rockville, Maryland location and, as a result, recognized additional rent expense of $0.8 million, of which $0.6 million was included as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $0.2 million was included as general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The rent expense of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, consisted of a lease exit liability of $1.3 million for the remaining lease payments net of the reversal of the deferred rent liability of $0.5 million related to the Rockville lease.

The following is a summary of the Company’s lease exit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011:

Consulting fees

The Company has engaged a regulatory consultant to assist the Company’s efforts to prepare, file and obtain FDA approval of an NDA for tasimelteon. As a result of the FDA acceptance of the NDA filing for tasimelteon for the treatment of Non-24, the Company made a milestone payment of $0.5 million to the regulatory consultant during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The payment was included as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Pursuant to the agreement and subject to certain conditions, the Company would be obligated to make a milestone payment of $2.0 million in the event the tasimelteon NDA is approved by the FDA. In addition to consulting fees and milestone payments, the Company is obligated to reimburse the consultant for ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in connection with the engagement. The Company may terminate the engagement at any time upon prior notice; however, subject to certain conditions, the Company would remain obligated to make the milestone payment if the milestone is achieved following such termination.

Guarantees and indemnifications

The Company has entered into a number of standard intellectual property indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of its business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual from the date of execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Since inception, the Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. The Company also indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain conditions.

License agreements

The Company’s rights to develop and commercialize its products and product candidates are subject to the terms and conditions of licenses granted to the Company by other pharmaceutical companies.

Tasimelteon. In February 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) under which the Company received an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize tasimelteon. In partial consideration for the license, the Company paid BMS an initial license fee of $0.5 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company would be obligated to make future milestone payments to BMS of up to $37.0 million in the aggregate. The Company made a milestone payment to BMS of $1.0 million under the license agreement in 2006 relating to the initiation of its first Phase III clinical trial for tasimelteon. The Company made a milestone payment of $3.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 relating to the FDA acceptance of the NDA filing for tasimelteon in the treatment of Non-24. The payment was included as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company will incur milestone obligations of $8.0 million in the event that the tasimelteon NDA is approved by the FDA and $25.0 million in the event that sales of tasimelteon reach a certain agreed upon sales threshold. Additionally, the Company would be obligated to make royalty payments based on net sales of tasimelteon which, as a percentage of net sales, are in the low teens. The Company is also obligated under the license agreement to pay BMS a percentage of any sublicense fees, upfront payments and milestone and other payments (excluding royalties) that the Company receives from a third party in connection with any sublicensing arrangement, at a rate which is in the mid-twenties. The Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize tasimelteon and to meet certain milestones in initiating and completing certain clinical work.

Under the license agreement, the Company was required to enter into a development and commercialization agreement with a third party for tasimelteon. If the Company had not entered into such an agreement with respect to certain major market countries by a certain deadline, then BMS would have had the option to develop and commercialize tasimelteon itself in those countries not covered by a development and commercialization agreement on certain pre-determined terms (the “BMS Option”). However, the license agreement was amended in April 2013 to add a process that would allow BMS, prior to such deadline, to waive such right to develop and commercialize tasimelteon in those countries not covered by a development and commercialization agreement. Subsequent to the execution of the April 2013 amendment, BMS provided the Company with formal written notice that it irrevocably waived the BMS Option to exercise the right to reacquire any or all rights to any product (as defined in the license agreement) containing tasimelteon, or to develop or commercialize any such product, in the countries not covered by a development and commercialization agreement.

Either party may terminate the tasimelteon license agreement under certain circumstances, including a material breach of the agreement by the other. In the event that BMS has not exercised its option to reacquire the rights to tasimelteon and the Company terminates the license, or if BMS terminates the license due to the Company’s breach, all rights licensed and developed by the Company under the license agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to BMS on an exclusive basis.

Fanapt®. The Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights to patents and patent applications for Fanapt® (iloperidone) in 2004 through a sublicense agreement with Novartis. A predecessor company of sanofi-aventis, Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. (HMRI), discovered Fanapt® and completed early clinical work on the product. In 1996, following a review of its product portfolio, HMRI licensed its rights to the Fanapt® patents and patent applications to Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Titan) on an exclusive basis. In 1997, soon after it had acquired its rights, Titan sublicensed its rights to Fanapt® on an exclusive basis to Novartis. In June 2004, the Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights to these patents and patent applications, as well as certain Novartis patents and patent applications to develop and commercialize Fanapt®, through a sublicense agreement with Novartis. In partial consideration for this sublicense, the Company paid Novartis an initial license fee of $0.5 million and was obligated to make future milestone payments to Novartis of less than $100.0 million in the aggregate (the majority of which were tied to sales milestones), as well as royalty payments to Novartis at a rate which, as a percentage of net sales, was in the mid-twenties. In November 2007, the Company met a milestone under the sublicense agreement relating to the acceptance of its filing of the NDA for Fanapt® for the treatment of schizophrenia and made a milestone payment of $5.0 million to Novartis. As a result of the FDA’s approval of the NDA for Fanapt® in May 2009, the Company met an additional milestone under the sublicense agreement, which required the Company to make a payment of $12.0 million to Novartis.

In October 2009, Vanda entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis, which amended and restated the June 2004 sublicense agreement. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Novartis has exclusive commercialization rights to all formulations of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Novartis began selling Fanapt® in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2010. Novartis is responsible for the further clinical development activities in the U.S. and Canada, including the development of a long-acting injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®. In October 2012, Novartis informed Vanda that it had determined to cease the development of the long-acting injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Vanda received an upfront payment of $200.0 million and is eligible for additional payments totaling up to $265.0 million upon Novartis’ achievement of certain commercial and development milestones for Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Based on the current sales performance of Fanapt® in the U.S. and the decision by Novartis to cease development of the long-acting injectable (or depot) formulation of Fanapt®, Vanda expects that some or all of these commercial and development milestones will not be achieved by Novartis. Vanda also receives royalties, which, as a percentage of net sales, are in the low double-digits, on net sales of Fanapt® in the U.S. and Canada. Vanda retains exclusive rights to Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada and Vanda has exclusive rights to use any of Novartis’ data for Fanapt® for developing and commercializing Fanapt® outside the U.S. and Canada. At Novartis’ option, Vanda will enter into good faith discussions with Novartis relating to the co-commercialization of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada or, alternatively, Novartis will receive a royalty on net sales of Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada. Novartis has chosen not to co-commercialize Fanapt® with Vanda in Europe and certain other countries and will instead receive a royalty on net sales in those countries. These include, but are not limited to, the countries in the European Union as well as Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. Vanda has entered into agreements with the following partners for the commercialization of Fanapt® in the countries set forth below:

Country

Partner

Mexico

Probiomed S.A. de C.V.

Israel

Megapharm Ltd.

In August 2012, the Israeli Ministry of Health granted market approval for Fanapt® for the treatment of schizophrenia. In November 2012, Vanda was notified that Fanapt® had been granted market approval in Argentina for the treatment of schizophrenia. In October 2013, the Mexican Federal Commission for Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) granted market approval for Fanapt® for the treatment of schizophrenia.

VLY-686. In April 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) pursuant to which the Company acquired an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize an NK-1R antagonist, VLY-686, for all human indications. The patent describing VLY-686 as a new chemical entity expires in April 2023, except in the U.S., where it expires in June 2024 absent any applicable patent term adjustments.

Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company paid Lilly an initial license fee of $1.0 million and will be responsible for all development costs. The initial license fee was recognized as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Lilly is also eligible to receive additional payments based upon achievement of specified development and commercialization milestones as well as tiered-royalties on net sales at percentage rates up to the low double digits. These milestones include $4.0 million for pre-NDA approval milestones and up to $95.0 million for future regulatory approval and sales milestones. Vanda is obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize VLY-686.

Either party may terminate the license agreement under certain circumstances, including a material breach of the license agreement by the other. In the event that Vanda terminates the license agreement, or if Lilly terminates due to Vanda’s breach or for certain other reasons set forth in the license agreement, all rights licensed and developed by Vanda under the license agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to Lilly on an exclusive basis, subject to payment by Lilly to the Company of a royalty on net sales of products that contain VLY-686.

Future milestone payments. No amounts were recorded as liabilities nor were any future contractual obligations relating to the license agreements included in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 because the criteria for recording the future milestone payments have not yet been met. These criteria include the successful outcome of future clinical trials, regulatory filings, favorable FDA regulatory approvals, growth in product sales and other factors.

Research and development and marketing agreements

In the course of its business, the Company regularly enters into agreements with clinical organizations to provide services relating to clinical development and clinical manufacturing activities under fee service arrangements. The Company’s current agreements for clinical services may be terminated on no more than 60 days’ notice without incurring additional charges, other than charges for work completed but not paid for through the effective date of termination and other costs incurred by the Company’s contractors in closing out work in progress as of the effective date of termination.

Employee Stock-Based Compensation	9 Months Ended

Employee Stock-Based Compensation	'
	12. Employee Stock-Based Compensation
	Compensation costs for all stock-based awards to employees and directors are measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee or director is required to perform service in exchange for the award. The Company generally recognizes the expense over the award’s vesting period.
	The fair value of stock options granted is amortized using the accelerated attribution method. The fair value of RSUs awarded is amortized using the straight-line method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	Total employee stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was comprised of the following:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	(in thousands)	September 30,			September 30,			September 30,		September 30,
		2013			2012			2013		2012
	Research and development	$	404		$	(110	)	$	1,164	$	1,003
	General and administrative		1,091			686			2,063		2,152
	Total employee stock-based compensation expense	$	1,495		$	576		$	3,227	$	3,155
	The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock and other factors. The weighted average expected term of stock options granted is based on the simplified method as the options meet the “plain vanilla” criteria required by authoritative guidance. Significant changes in the market prices of the Company’s common stock in recent years has made historical data less reliable for the purpose of estimating future vesting, exercise, and employment behavior. The simplified method provides a more reasonable approach for estimating the weighted average expected term for options granted in 2013 and 2012. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not paid dividends to its stockholders since its inception (other than a dividend of preferred share purchase rights, which was declared in September 2008) and does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
	Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for employee and director stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
		Nine Months Ended
		September 30,			September 30,
		2013			2012
	Expected dividend yield		—	%		—	%
	Weighted average expected volatility		63	%		68	%
	Weighted average expected term (years)		6.03			6.03
	Weighted average risk-free rate		1.28	%		1.04	%
	Weighted average fair value per share	$	3.98		$	2.71
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company had two equity incentive plans, the Second Amended and Restated Management Equity Plan (the 2004 Plan) and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan). There were 670,744 shares subject to outstanding options granted under the 2004 Plan as of September 30, 2013, and no additional options will be granted under this plan. As of September 30, 2013, there were 8,995,930 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, of which 5,332,870 shares were subject to outstanding options and RSUs granted to employees and non-employees and 2,213,524 shares remained available for future grant.
	The Company has granted two types of options, option awards with service conditions (service option awards) and options with service and performance conditions (performance option awards). Service option awards are subject to terms and conditions established by the compensation committee of the board of directors. Service option awards have 10-year contractual terms and all service option awards granted prior to December 31, 2006, service option awards granted to new employees, and certain service option awards granted to existing employees vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date with respect to the 25% of the shares subject to service option awards. The remaining 75% of the shares subject to the service option awards vest and become exercisable monthly in equal installments thereafter over three years. Certain service option awards granted to existing employees after December 31, 2006 vest and become exercisable monthly in equal installments over four years. The initial service option awards granted to directors upon their election vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of four years, while the subsequent annual service option awards granted to directors vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of one year. Certain service option awards to executives and directors provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company. Certain service option awards to employees and executives provide for accelerated vesting if the respective employee’s or executive’s service is terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or permanent disability. There were 151,250 performance option awards outstanding with unrecognized stock-based compensation costs of $0.3 million at June 30, 2013. In July 2013, the performance option awards vested upon the acceptance by the FDA of the Company’s tasimelteon NDA (the Vesting Event). The Vesting Event for the performance option awards resulted in the recognition of additional stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there was $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested service option awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. None of the service option awards or performance option awards are classified as a liability as of September 30, 2013.

	An RSU is a stock award that entitles the holder to receive shares of the Company’s common stock as the award vests. The fair value of each RSU is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The Company has granted two types of RSUs, RSUs with service conditions (service RSUs) and RSUs with service and performance conditions (performance RSUs). The service RSUs vest in four equal annual installments provided that the employee remains employed with the Company. There were 48,750 performance RSUs outstanding with unrecognized stock-based compensation costs of $0.2 million at June 30, 2013. In July 2013, the performance RSUs vested upon the Vesting Event. The Vesting Event for the performance RSUs resulted in the recognition of additional stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there was $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested service RSUs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. None of the service RSUs or performance RSUs are classified as a liability as of September 30, 2013.
	A summary of RSU activity for the 2006 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 follows:
		Number of Shares			Weighted Average

	Outstanding at September 30, 2013		584,315			5.74
	The vesting date fair value for the 48,750 shares underlying performance RSUs that vested but are unissued during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.4 million. The vesting date fair value for the 152,436 shares underlying RSUs that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.6 million. In order for certain employees to satisfy the minimum statutory employee tax withholding requirements related to the issuance of common stock underlying certain of RSUs that vested and settled during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company withheld 49,520 shares of common stock and paid employee payroll withholding taxes of $0.2 million relating to the vesting and settlement of the RSUs.

The complaint, filed on behalf of purported stockholders of the Company, seeks to assert violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements and alleged omissions regarding the Company’s Phase III trial results for tasimelteon and other disclosures between December 18, 2012 and June 18, 2013 (the “Class Period”). The plaintiff seeks to represent a class comprised of purchasers of the Company’s common stock during the Class Period and seeks damages, costs and expenses and such other relief as determined by the Court. A similar complaint was filed on July 8, 2013.
	The Company’s management believes that Vanda has meritorious defenses and intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously. The Company does not anticipate that this litigation will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. However, these lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties, the actual cost may be significant, and the Company may not prevail. The Company believes it is entitled to coverage under its relevant insurance policies, subject to a retention, but coverage could be denied or prove to be insufficient.

	On January 1, 2013, Vanda adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The changes require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. Adoption of these changes did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the new standard will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
