Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business

Company

Opiant is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing medicines for addiction and drug overdose. The Company developed NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray (“NARCAN®”), a treatment to reverse opioid overdose. This product was conceived and developed by the Company, licensed to Adapt Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), an Ireland based pharmaceutical company in December 2014 and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in November 2015. It is marketed by Adapt. In October 2018, Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. ("EBS") completed its acquisition of Adapt.

The Company's current pipeline includes medicines in development for Opioid Overdose Reversal (“OOR”), Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”), Opioid Use Disorder (“OUD”), and Acute Cannabinoid Overdose (“ACO”). The Company is also pursuing other treatment opportunities within the addiction and drug overdose field.

The Company has not had a bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. The Company is required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the clinical testing and manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim period or for the entire year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These classifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss or loss per share.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Opiant Pharmaceuticals UK Limited, a company incorporated on November 4, 2016 under the England and Wales Companies Act of 2006. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.  

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates included in the financial statements include the valuation of: deferred income tax assets, equity instruments, stock-based compensation, acquired intangibles, and allowances for accounts receivable.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $23.8 million and $24.6 million at March 31, 2019 and December

8

31, 2018, respectively. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions insured up to $250 thousand by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances in the UK are insured up to £85 thousand by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (UK Equivalent). Although the Company’s cash balances exceeded these insured amounts at various times during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 excludes 3.6 million and 3.7 million shares, underlying stock options and warrants, respectively, because the effects would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same.

Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842) The new standard requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. As part of the adoption, the Company elected to utilize the package of practical expedients included in this guidance, which permitted the Company to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) the initial direct costs for existing leases. In conjunction with the adoption of the new lease standard, the Company adopted the following policy; an election not to recognize short-term leases (i.e., a lease that is less than 12 months and contains no purchase option) within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with the expense related to these short-term leases recorded within total operating expenses within the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As the Company's current operating leases are less than 12 months the Company has concluded there is no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," ("ASU 2018-07"), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for the interim periods therein. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2019 and has concluded it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This new standard permits entities to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") as a result of U.S. tax reform. Th amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2019 and has concluded it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.    

Recent accounting pronouncements pending adoption

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This standard resolves the diversity in practice concerning whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). This standard specifies when a participant is a customer in a collaboration, adds unit of account guidance to align with Topic 606 and provides presentation guidance for collaborative arrangements. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of the adoption and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

9

The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe the adoption of such pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $522 thousand recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company's prepaid amounts are primarily for insurance, advance research and development payments, software licenses, prepaid rent, and other amounts paid that relate to future periods of service. Other current assets are primarily items such as security deposits and other receivables.

10

Note 4.     Accounts Receivable

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had accounts receivable of $1,956 thousand of which $1,946 thousand relates to royalty revenue from the sales of NARCAN®. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had accounts receivable of $4.5 million, which relates to royalty revenue from the sales of NARCAN®.

Note 5. Deferred Revenue

On December 17, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor, Potomac, and subsequently received additional funding totaling $250 thousand for use by the Company for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide the investor with a 0.5% interest in the Company’s BED treatment product (the “BED Treatment Product”) and pay the investor 0.5% of the BED Net Profit in perpetuity (the “2013 0.5% Investor Interest”). “BED Net Profit” is defined as the pre-tax profit generated from the BED Treatment Product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection with the BED Treatment Product, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead. In the event that the BED Treatment Product was not approved by the FDA by December 17, 2016, the investor would have a 60-day option to exchange its entire 0.5% Investor Interest for 31,250 shares of Common Stock of the Company. On February 17, 2017, the investor’s option to receive the shares of Common Stock terminated by its terms, which resulted in the Company beginning to recognize revenue in relation to this agreement in February 2017. The Company recognized approximately $14.4 thousand of revenue relating to the agreement for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor, Potomac, and subsequently received funding totaling $500 thousand for use by the Company for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide the investor with a 1.0% interest in the Company’s BED Treatment Product and pay the investor 1.0% of the BED Net Profit generated from the BED Treatment Product in perpetuity (the “1.0% Investor Interest”). “BED Net Profit” is defined as the pre-tax profit generated from the BED Treatment Product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection with the BED Treatment Product, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead. In the event that the BED Treatment Product was not approved by the FDA by September 17, 2017, the investor would have a 60-day option to exchange its entire 1.0% Investor Interest for 62,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company. On November 15, 2017, the investor’s option to receive the shares of Common Stock terminated by its terms, which resulted in the Company beginning to recognize revenue in relation to this agreement in November 2017. The Company continues to assess the BED Treatment Product research and development progress and is currently recognizing revenue on a straight line basis through December 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $39.2 thousand in each period related to this agreement.

On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor, Potomac, and subsequently received funding from an individual investor in the amount of $250 thousand for use by the Company for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide the investor with a 0.5% interest in the BED Net Profit (the “2015 0.5% Investor Interest”) generated from the BED Treatment Product in perpetuity. The investor also has rights with respect to the 2015 0.5% Investor Interest if the BED Treatment Product is sold or the Company is sold. If the product is not introduced to the market and not approved by the FDA or an equivalent body in Europe and not marketed by July 20, 2018, the investor will have a 60-day option to exchange the 2015 0.5% Investor Interest for 25,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $26.8 thousand and zero, respectively related to this agreement.

On April 17, 2018, the Company was awarded a grant of approximately $7.4 million from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, (NIDA). The grant provides the Company with additional resources for the ongoing development of OPNT003 (intranasal nalmefene), a long-lasting opioid antagonist for the treatment of opioid overdose. The grant includes approximately $2.6 million to be funded for the period ending March 31, 2019, with the balance to be funded over the subsequent two years, subject to available funds and satisfactory progress on the development of OPNT003. Government grants are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. The Company recognized revenues from grants in the period during which the related costs were incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grants were provided had been met and only perfunctory obligations were outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company recognized revenue of $1,575 thousand related to this grant.

On September 19, 2018, the Company entered into a contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), which is part of the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, to accelerate the Company’s development of OPTN003, its lead product candidate. OPTN003, nasal nalmefene, is a potent, long-acting opioid antagonist currently in development for the treatment of opioid overdose. The contract will provide potential funding up to a maximum of approximately $4.6 million and cover activities related to a potential New Drug Application submission for OPTN003 with the Food and Drug Administration. The Contract will provide

11

approximately $611,000 for the project through September 30, 2019, with the balance to be funded over the following two years, subject to satisfactory project progress, availability of funds and certain other conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company recognized revenue of $34,329 related to this contract.

As of March 31, 2019 the Company had recorded all of its deferred revenue as a current liability because the Company expects to recognize all such deferred revenue as revenue during the next 12 months.

The following is a summary of the Company’s deferred revenue activity as of March 31, 2019:

(in thousands)	BED				Grants			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2018		$	644		$	568		$	1,212

Note 6. License Fee Payable

On February 28, 2018, the Company was notified that Adapt, now a subsidiary of Emergent BioSolutions ("EBS"), had entered into a license agreement with a Third Party (as defined in the License Agreement) with regard to one or more patents pursuant to which Adapt invoked its right under Section 5.5 of the License Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2014, by and between the Company and Adapt, as amended (the "License Agreement"), to offset 50% of certain payments paid to such Third Party from the amounts payable by Adapt to the Company under the License Agreement, and SWK under the SWK Purchase Agreement. On March 1, 2018, the Company received net milestone payments of $6.1 million, which was net of 50% of a license fee payment Adapt made to the Third Party. The portion of the milestone payment that the Company would have otherwise received was reduced by $5.6 million.

As provided in Amendment No. 2 to the License Agreement, which the parties entered into on March 18, 2019, Adapt has made and will in the future make payments to the Third Party Licensee (as defined in Amendment No. 2) and will be allowed to reduce the royalties and milestones that the Company would be due under the License Agreement by a maximum of $9.0 million in relation to such payments. Under the SWK Purchase Agreement, the Company retains 90% of the royalties payable under the License Agreement, with SWK entitled to 10%. The maximum amount payable by the Company is therefore $8.1 million (90% of $9 million), of which the Company recorded $5.4 million as a current liability and $2.7 million as a long-term liability at December 31, 2018. As provided in Amendment No. 2, Adapt will be allowed to reduce the royalties and milestones that the Company would be due under the License Agreement during the year ending December 31, 2019 by a maximum of $1.8 million each quarter. As provided in the License Agreement, if Net NARCAN® Sales (as defined in the License Agreement) exceed $200 million in any calendar year, the Company and SWK will be due a milestone of $15.0 million. Under Amendment No. 2, if this $15.0 million milestone becomes payable to the Company and SWK, Adapt may deduct $2.7 million from the $13.5 million (90% of $15.0 million) milestone payable to the Company.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded $6.3 million as a current liability, as it expects the remaining amounts to be paid, by a reduction of the royalties or milestones payable, within twelve months of March 31, 2019.

Note 7. Royalty Payable

The Company entered into various agreements and subsequently received funding from investors for use by the Company for the research and development of its Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product ("OORTP"). In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide investors with interest in the OORTP Net Profit generated from its OORTP in perpetuity. As of December 31, 2018, the Company determined an OORTP Net Profit as a result of NARCAN® sales by Adapt and recorded a royalty payable of $998 thousand. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has a royalty payable of approximately $314 thousand.

Note 8. Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 80,000 shares of Common Stock as a result of employee stock option exercises, and received net cash proceeds of $601 thousand.

Stock Options

On September 8, 2017, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at which time the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2017 Plan") was approved by stockholder vote. The 2017 Plan allows the Company to grant both incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”) to purchase a maximum of 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Under the terms of the 2017 Plan, ISOs may only be granted to Company employees and directors, while NSOs may be granted to employees, directors, advisors, and consultants. The Board has the authority to determine to whom options will be granted, the number of options, the term, and the exercise price. Options are to be granted at an exercise price not less than fair value for an ISO or an NSO. The vesting period is normally over a period of four years from the vesting date. The contractual term of an option is no longer than ten years.

As provided in the 2017 Plan, on January 1, 2019 the number of options available for issuance was increased by 4% of the outstanding stock as of December 31, 2018, which represents an increase of 153,814 options.

Prior to adopting the 2017 Plan, the Company did not have a formal long-term incentive stock plan. Prior to the implementation of the 2017 Plan, the Company had discretion to provide designated employees of the Company and its affiliates, certain consultants, and advisors who perform services for the Company and its affiliates, and non-employee members of the Board and its affiliates with the opportunity to receive grants of non-qualified stock options (the "Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Options"). All of the Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Option Grants were intended to qualify as non-qualified stock options. There were no Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Option Grants that were intended to qualify as incentive stock options.

Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Options

12

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,885,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not grant any Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Options.

As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $139 thousand of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested Pre-2017 Non-Qualified Stock Options.

The 2017 Plan

During January 2019, the Company granted options to a number of employees to purchase 89,700 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise prices of $13.61 and $14.62 per share, which represents the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grants. These options were issued under the Company’s 2017 Plan and have ten-year terms. The options vest as follows: 1/48^th of the options shares vest on such date every month through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The Company valued these options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and estimated the fair value on the date of grant to be $1.1 million.

The assumptions used in the valuation of options granted under the 2017 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

The interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in this Report, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "Form 10-K"). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in Part II - Other Information, Item 1A and in the Form 10-K. Risk Factors below and elsewhere in this Report could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results.

Overview

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company developing medicines for addiction and drug overdose. We developed NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray ("NARCAN®"), a treatment to reverse opioid overdose. This product was conceived and developed by us, licensed to Adapt Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), an Ireland based pharmaceutical company in December 2014 and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in November 2015. It is marketed by Adapt. In October 2018, Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. (“EBS”) completed its acquisition of Adapt.

We have not consistently attained profitable operations and have historically depended upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund our operations. We anticipate if revenues are not sufficient, then additional funding will be required in the form of debt financing and/or equity financing from the sale of our Common Stock, and/or financings from the sale of interests in our prospective products and/or royalty transactions. However, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient funding to fund our operations.

We have not had a bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the clinical testing and manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products.

Our current pipeline includes medicines in development for Opioid Overdose Reversal (“OOR”), Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”), Opioid Use Disorder (“OUD”), and Acute Cannabinoid Overdose (“ACO”). We are also pursuing other treatment opportunities within the addiction and drug overdose field.

Comparison of Three Months ended March 31, 2019 to the Three Months ended March 31, 2018

Revenues

We recognized $5.4 million and $1.7 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we recognized approximately $3.7 million of revenue from the license agreement between us and Adapt, $1.6 million from grant and contract revenue, and $80 thousand from treatment investment revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized $1.6 million of revenue from the license agreement between us and Adapt, and $54 thousand of revenue from treatment investment revenue.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses were $3.7 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $0.7 million was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase associated with legal, accounting , and professional fees, a $0.45 million increase in personnel and related expense including recruiting, a $0.3 million increase in royalty and related expense, partially offset by a $0.45 million decrease in stock based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses were $3.6 million and $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase of $1.2 million resulted from an increase in third party clinical trial and development expense of $1.1 million, an increase in personnel and related expense of $0.2 million, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in stock based compensation expense.

18

License fees

There were no license fees recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We recorded $5.6 million associated with license fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The license fees related to the License Agreement with Adapt.

Other Income (expense)

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, other income was $92 thousand compared to other expense of $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash for each of the periods presented below:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2019		2018
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(1,447)	$	2,200
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	601	$	1,030

Net cash used in operating activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $1.7 million and a $0.8 million change in other assets and liabilities, partially offset by approximately $1.0 million associated with stock based compensation expense.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million, which was primarily due to a $10.0 million reduction of accounts receivable, $1.6 million associated with stock based compensation, offset with a net loss of $9.3 million and a $0.1 million change in other assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by financing activities

During the three months March 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.6 million primarily attributable to proceeds received from stock option exercises.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million, which was primarily attributed to the sale of Common Stock.

Plan of Operation

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, we plan to broaden our product pipeline and anticipate commencing further trials based on our existing, as well as potential, patents.

On February 12, 2018, we announced positive data from a Phase 1 clinical study of our product candidate OPNT003 (intranasal nalmefene) and provided an update on a meeting held February 8, 2018 with the FDA regarding our planned development program. OPNT003 is in development as a long-acting opioid antagonist for the treatment of opioid overdose. Based on feedback from the FDA in connection with this meeting, we intend to pursue a 505(b)(2) development path, with the potential to submit a NDA for the drug and intranasal delivery device combination in 2020. Nalmefene for injection was previously approved by the FDA for treating suspected or confirmed opioid overdose. The 505(b)(2) pathway allows companies to rely in part on the FDA’s findings of safety and efficacy for a previously approved product and to supplement these findings with a more limited set of their own studies to satisfy FDA requirements, as opposed to conducting the full array of preclinical and clinical studies that would typically be required.

We have full commercial rights to OPNT003 and expect to receive approximately $7.4 million from the National Institute of Health ("NIH") and approximately $4.6 million from the Biological Advance Research and Development Agency ("BARDA") from 2018 through 2021, subject to availability of funds and satisfactory progress on OPNT003, to fund development of this project through NDA submission.

19

As of March 31, 2019 we have cash and cash equivalents of $23.8 million. We believe that we have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations through at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We believe that the following critical policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These principals require 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.

We issue options and warrants to consultants, directors, and officers as compensation for services. These options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which focuses on the current stock price and the volatility of moves to predict the likelihood of future stock moves. This method of valuation is typically used to accurately price stock options and warrants based on the price of the underlying stock.

Fair value estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (‘ASU”), 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the modified retrospective method, and we determined the new guidance does not change our policy of revenue recognition. Our primary source of revenue is through the recognition of royalty and milestone payments from Adapt. Milestone revenue is recognized upon successful accomplishment of certain sales targets set forth in the Adapt Agreement. Royalty revenue is determined based on the agreed upon royalty rate applied to NARCAN sales reported by Adapt. There are no performance obligations by us and we recognize revenue according to the royalty report provided to us by Adapt on quarterly basis.

In regards to treatment revenue, we received certain investments from investors in return for an interest in its existing treatments. Investors carry an option to exchange investment into shares of our common stock. Revenue is deferred until such time that the option expires or milestones are achieved that eliminate the investor’s right to exercise the option. Once the option has expired, we determine the performance obligations under the agreement which typically is to perform R&D services related to treatments, and recognize revenue over a period of time which is usually the expected research and development period. The treatment revenue is disaggregated by program treatments.

In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the revenue recognition and measurement issues for grants, contracts, and similar arrangements, ASU Topic 958. Government grants and contracts are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. We evaluated our grant with NIH and contract with BARDA and determined they are non-exchange transactions and fall withing the scope of ASU 958, and revenue should be recognized in accordance with Topic 958 guidance. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from our grant and contract in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grants and contracts were provided have been met and only perfunctory performance obligations are outstanding.

Licensing Agreement

Pursuant to the Adapt Agreement, we provided a global license to develop and commercialize our intranasal naloxone opioid overdose reversal treatment, now known as NARCAN®. We receive payments upon reaching various sales and regulatory milestones, as well as royalty payments for commercial sales of NARCAN® generated by Adapt.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation did not have a significant impact on our net sales, revenues, or income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on our reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. Those standards have been addressed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein, and in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Form 10-K and in the Form 10-K itself.

We entered into various agreements and subsequently received funding from investors for use by us for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, we agreed to provide investors with interest in the OORT Net Profit generated from the OORTPin perpetuity. At December 31, 2017, we determined an OORTP Net Profit as a result of NARCAN® sales by Adapt.

License Fee Payable

On February 28, 2018, we were notified that Adapt, now a subsidiary of Emergent BioSolutions ("EBS"), had entered into a license agreement with a Third Party (as defined in the License Agreement) with regard to one or more patents pursuant to which Adapt invoked its right under Section 5.5 of that certain License Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2014 (the "Initial License Agreement"), by and between us and Adapt, as amended (the "License Agreement"), to offset 50% of the payments paid to such Third Party from the amounts payable by Adapt to us under the License Agreement, and SWK under the SWK Purchase Agreement. On March 1, 2018, we received net milestone payments of $6.1 million, which was net of a License Fee payment made by us under Section 5.5 of the License Agreement of $5.6 million. In accordance with the License Agreement, Adapt may enter into such a licensing arrangement and exercise its right to deduct any payments with respect thereto at any time without our consent.

As provided in Amendment No. 2 to the License Agreement, which the parties entered into on March 18, 2019, EBS made certain payments in October of 2018 to the Third Party Licensee (as defined in Amendment No. 2) and will be allowed to reduce the royalties and milestones that we would be due under the License Agreement by a maximum of $9.0 million. Under the SWK Purchase Agreement, we retain 90%of the royalties payable under the License Agreement, with SWK entitled to10%. The maximum amount payable by us is therefore $8.1 million (90% of $9 million), of which we have recorded $6.3 million as a current liability at March 31, 2019.

As provided in Amendment No. 2, EBS will be allowed to reduce the royalties and milestones we would be due under the License Agreement during the year ending December 31, 2019 by a maximum of $2.0 million each quarter. As provided in the License Agreement, if net NARCAN® Sales (as defined in the License Agreement) exceed $200 million in any calendar year, we and SWK will be due a milestone payment of $15.0 million. Under Amendment No. 2, if this $15.0 million milestone becomes payable to us and SWK, EBS may deduct $2.5 million from the $13.5 million (90% of $15.0 million) milestone payable to us.

PART II— OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On or about February 19, 2019, Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt subsidiaries and Opiant received notice from a company called Nalox-1 Pharmaceuticals LLC that it had filed fifteen petitions forinter partesreview of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,211,253, 9,468,747, 9,561,177, 9,629,965, and 9,775,838 (IPR Nos. 2019-00685, 2019-00686, 2019-00687, 2019-00688, 2019-00689, 2019-00690, 2019-00691, 2019-00692, 2019-00693, 2019-00694, 2019-00695, 2019-00696, 2019-00697, 2019-00698, 2019-00699) with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Nalox-1’s Petitions assert that each of the foregoing patents are invalid as obvious in view of prior art. An initial response to the Petitions is due three months from the filing date of the petitions. Opiant continues to be confident in the intellectual property portfolio related to NARCAN Nasal Spray.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). With the exception of the risk factors listed below, there are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-K with respect to the Risk Factors. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to our stock.

The approval and launch of a generic version of NARCAN® or other naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray products that compete with NARCAN® would adversely affect sales of NARCAN®.

Although NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray (“NARCAN®”) is protected by patents covering its manufacture, formulation, distribution system and method of use, multiple third parties have filed ANDAs seeking FDA approval of generic versions of NARCAN®. Notwithstanding our patents, it is possible that once its application is approved, an ANDA filer could introduce a competing naloxone hydrochloride product before our patents expire if it is determined that it does not infringe our patents, or that our patents are invalid or unenforceable, or if such company or companies decide, before applicable ongoing patent litigation is concluded, to launch a naloxone hydrochloride product at risk of being held liable for damages for patent infringement. As discussed below, the FDA has approved the first ANDA for NARCAN®.

Two separate companies, (i) Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiary Teva Pharamceuticals USA, Inc. (collectively “Teva”), and (ii) Perrigo UK FINCO Limited Partnership sent us and our partner Adapt Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), notices that they had filed ANDAs with the FDA seeking approval to market a generic version of NARCAN®, and we, along with Adapt, filed patent lawsuits against each of these companies in the District Court for New Jersey.  We cannot predict the timing or outcome of this or the other ANDA litigation proceedings against the ANDA filers.  For more information about these litigation matters, see Part I, Item 3: Legal Proceedings, in our Form 10-K. 

On April 19, 2019, the FDA announced approval of Teva’s ANDA for a generic version of NARCAN®. The timing of any potential commercial launch of a generic version of NARCAN® is uncertain.  However, after any introduction of a generic competitor, a significant percentage of the prescriptions written for NARCAN® may be filled with the generic version, resulting in a loss in sales of NARCAN®. Generic competition often also results in decreases in the prices at which branded products can be sold, particularly when there is more than one generic available in the marketplace. In addition, certain U.S. state laws allow for, and in some instances in the absence of specific instructions from the prescribing physician mandate, the dispensing of generic products rather than branded products where a generic version is available.  We cannot predict whether we will be able to maintain the validity of any of our patents or will otherwise obtain a judicial determination that a generic naloxone hydrochloride product infringes any of our patents. However, we expect that the launch of a generic version of NARCAN®, or the approval and launch of other products that compete with NARCAN®, would have a material adverse effect on our licensing partner’s sales of NARCAN® and as a result have a material adverse effect on the royalties that we would receive from such sales of NARCAN®, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately following for a list of exhibits filed as part of this Report, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.            Legal Proceedings.

On February 27, 2018, the Company and Adapt received notice from Teva, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(ii) (the “February 2018 Notice Letter”), that Teva had filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking regulatory approval to market a generic version of NARCAN® 2 mg/spray Nasal Spray before the expiration of the ‘644 patent and the ‘226 patent. The ‘644 and ‘226 patents are listed with respect to Adapt’s New Drug Application No. 208411 for NARCAN 2 mg/spray Nasal Spray in the FDA’s Orange Book and each patent expires on March 16, 2035. The Company is the record owner of the ‘644 patent and the Company and Adapt are joint record owners of the ‘226 patent. Teva’s Notice Letter asserts that the commercial manufacture, use or sale of its generic drug product described in its ANDA will not infringe the ‘644 patent or the ‘226 patent, or that the ‘644 patent and ‘226 patent are invalid or unenforceable.

On September 14, 2018, the Company and Adapt Pharma, Inc. (“Adapt”) received notice from Perrigo UK FINCO Limited Partnership (“Perrigo”), pursuant to 21 U.S.C. ß 355(j)(2)(B)(ii) (the “Notice Letter”), that Perrigo had filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking regulatory approval to market a generic version of NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray before the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,211,253 (the “‘253 Patent” ), 9,468,747 (the “‘747 Patent” ), 9,561,177 (the “‘177 Patent” ), 9,629,965 (the “‘965 Patent” ) and 9,775,838 (the “‘838 Patent” ). The ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents are listed with respect to NARCAN® in the FDA's Orange Book and expires on March 16, 2035. Perrigo's Notice Letter asserts that its generic product will not infringe the ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents or that the ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents are invalid or unenforceable. Pursuant to an Exclusive License Agreement, entered into on December 14, 2014, as amended, the Company has exclusively licensed the ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents to Adapt.

On October 25, 2018, Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt subsidiaries and Opiant (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against Perrigo in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Perrigo’s ANDA filing with the FDA. As a result of timely filing the lawsuit in accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act, a 30-month stay of approval will be imposed by the FDA on Perrigo’s ANDA, which is expected to remain in effect until March 2021 absent an earlier judgment, unfavorable to the Plaintiffs, by the Court. The Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, an order that the effective date of FDA approval of the ANDA be a date no earlier than the expiration of each of the Patents-In-Suit, as well as equitable relief enjoining Perrigo from infringing these patents, and monetary relief as a result of any such infringement. Emergent BioSolution Inc. continues to vigorously enforce the intellectual property portfolio related to NARCAN^® Nasal Spray.

In each of the complaints described above, the Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, an order that the effective date of FDA approval of the Teva or Perrigo ANDA be a date not earlier than the expiration of the applicable patent, as well as equitable relief enjoining Teva and Perrigo from making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing the product that is the subject of the Teva or Perrigo ANDA until after the expiration of the applicable patent, and monetary relief as a result of any such infringement.

On or about February 19, 2019, Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt subsidiaries and Opiant received notice from a company called Nalox-1 Pharmaceuticals LLC that it had filed fifteen petitions for inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,211,253, 9,468,747, 9,561,177, 9,629,965, and 9,775,838 (IPR Nos. 2019-00685, 2019-00686, 2019-00687, 2019-00688, 2019-00689, 2019-00690, 2019-00691, 2019-00692, 2019-00693, 2019-00694, 2019-00695, 2019-00696, 2019-00697, 2019-00698, 2019-00699) with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Nalox-1’s Petitions assert that each of the foregoing patents are invalid as obvious in view of prior art.  An initial response to the Petitions is due three months from the filing date of the petitions. Opiant continues to be confident in the intellectual property portfolio related to NARCAN Nasal Spray.

Except as described above, the Company is currently not involved in any litigation that the Company believes could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Except as described above, there is no

26

action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or other body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Company’s Common Stock, any of the Company’s subsidiaries or the Company’s or the Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
