Exhibit 99.1
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Members
of IriSys, LLC
San Diego, California
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of IriSys, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations and members’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IriSys, LLC as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

IRISYS, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
IriSys, LLC (the “Company”), was established on January 7, 2015 as a California Limited Liability Company, located in San Diego, California. IriSys, LLC provides contract pharmaceutical product development and manufacturing services specializing in formulation research and development, cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practices) manufacturing of clinical trial materials and commercial pharmaceutical products, and consulting related to the drug development process.
Except as otherwise provided by the Limited Liability Company Act, the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contracts, tort, or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, and the members of the Company shall not be obligated personally for any such debts, obligations, or liabilities of the Company solely by reason of being members of the Company. The Company has no termination date.
Basis of Accounting
The Company’s policy is to use the accrual method of accounting and to prepare and present the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reports of amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”). This had a severe economic impact on the United States, with several states, including California, issuing mandatory “shelter in place” orders for all persons except those deemed to be essential employees in March 2020. The stay-at-home orders resulted in a significant decline in retail sales. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2020, Scot-Tussin sales decreased at retail outlets and there were not enough sales to meet certain profit margin goals, which resulted in a refund to the retail outlets. Most Company operations not affected by COVID-19.
Additionally, COVID-19 has caused significant economic uncertainty throughout 2020 and 2021, on both a domestic and global scale. This disruption, while expected to be temporary, is of an unknown duration, and may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations, and cash flows. Possible effects may include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, unavailability of inventory, and delayed collection of receivables.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in readily available checking and money market accounts.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowances for uncollectible accounts. The Company establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that the Company has identified. The allowance for uncollectible accounts was approximately $10,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019. No interest on past due amounts is charged. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding balance or when the Company has determined that the balance will not be collected. During the years ended December 31,
5
2020 and 2019, the Company wrote off approximately $306,000 and $10,000, respectively, of uncollectible accounts receivable balances.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Average cost is used to determine the cost of inventories. Inventories include supplies and materials. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventory, and remaining shelf life.
Prepaid Expense and Other Assets
Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of prepaid amounts on licenses, subscriptions, insurance, and occasionally deposits on customized equipment. The balance of prepaid expenses and other assets at December 31, 2020 was $2,859,238, of which approximately $2,144,000 was related to deposits on equipment. The balance of prepaid expenses and other assets at December 31, 2019 was $594,033.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets; which range from 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their economic life or the life of the related lease. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in current earnings. Assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lesser of the present value of the future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset and are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or the estimated productive life of the asset. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets periodically and upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the recoverability of the carrying value of an asset should be reassessed. Management determines the potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group with the projected undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future net undiscounted cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment loss at that date.
The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the assets and is charged to operations in the period in which the asset impairment is determined by management. No impairment losses were identified by management during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, contract assets, inventories, other assets, accounts payable, contract liabilities, and other liabilities and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s related party notes, capital leases, Paycheck Protection Program loan, Economic Injury Disaster Loan, and equipment loans approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.
Deferred Rent
The Company amortizes its operating lease for its building using the straight-line method. The differences between rents actually paid and the straight-line method are accumulated within deferred rent. The Company’s building lease also provides an allowance for tenant improvements. The allowance for tenant improvements is recorded on the Company’s financial statements as leasehold improvements and deferred rent liability and is amortized to rent expense over the life of the lease. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $1,093,802 and $1,256,926 in deferred rent, respectively, of which the current portions are included within other liabilities and accrued expenses.
6
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from primarily the following sources: contract manufacturing, research and development, and consulting. The Company also manufactures and sells proprietary cough suppressant and cold relief products for diabetics (“Scot-Tussin”).
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company applied a modified retrospective adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. The impact of the new revenue recognition standard results in a change to the timing of the Company’s revenue recognition policy for its contract manufacturing, research and development, and consulting. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, revenue from contract manufacturing for pharmaceutical products was recognized either upon the delivery of products or when products had been released and stored at the request of the customer and collectability was reasonably assured; and research and development services and consulting were recognized ratably over the associated period of performance, unless there was no discernable pattern of performance, then revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis.
Under the new revenue recognition standard, the Company applies a 5-step model to determine when to recognize revenue and in what amount: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Each of these steps involves the use of significant judgements. The Company changed its revenue recognition for its contract manufacturing, research and development, and consulting services to be satisfied over time as goods were produced and services rendered, rather than at a point in time. The Company is applying the new revenue recognition standard only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application, referred to as “open contracts”. This adjustment resulted in the recognition of unbilled contract assets for revenue with a corresponding reduction in work-in-progress inventory. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue recognition standard as an adjustment to its opening retained earnings balance at January 1, 2019, included in members’ capital.
The following is a summary of the cumulative effect adjustment of adopting the new revenue recognition standard on prior balances reported:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

For contract manufacturing for pharmaceutical products, the customer and Company generally enter into a master supply agreement (“MSA”), that provides the framework under which business will be conducted. The Company and the customer will enter into more specific contracts under the MSA, that detail specific procedures and performance obligations, pricing terms, transfer of title and risk of loss, and other information. Some MSAs state that the customer will send purchase orders as needed with specific quantities. As a result, the Company considers its contract with a customer to be a combination of the MSA and the purchase order, or any other similar documents such as a statement of work, emails, or other communications that embody a commitment to the customer. Revenue is derived from the
7
manufacturing of products, which are created according to customer specifications, and from additional testing procedures on the final products.
Revenue is recognized as work is performed on the contract over time. The Company has an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date and the goods do not have an alternative use once the manufacturing process has commenced. The Company records an unbilled contract asset for revenue related to its work-in-progress when the manufacturing process has commenced and there is a non-cancelable purchase order. The Company uses the input method of labor hours and materials to measure progress towards satisfying its performance obligation. The Company also does not disclose the information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $3,097,873 and $2,964,316 in revenue related to contract manufacturing for pharmaceutical products, respectively.
For research and development revenue and consulting revenue, the customer and Company enter into a contract that products a framework under which business will be conducted. This contract identifies specific procedures and performance obligations, pricing terms, transfer of title and risk of loss, as well as other important information. In the course of the contract, the Company provides specific deliverables to the customer, detailing progress on the contract. Revenue is derived from testing and development procedures performed by the Company, which are performed according to customer specifications. Revenue is recognized as work is performed on the contract over time.
The Company has an enforceable right to payment for work completed to date and the intellectual property generated through the research and development procedures and consulting procedures do not have an alternative use once procedures have commenced. The Company records an unbilled contract for revenue related to its work-in-progress when research and development procedures and consulting procedures commence after a signed contract has been established. The Company uses the input method of labor hours and materials to measure progress towards satisfying its performance obligation. The Company also does not disclose the information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $8,997,188 and $121,200 in research and development revenue and consulting revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $6,995,197 and $229,762 in research and development revenue and consulting revenue, respectively.
If assumptions change related to the inputs or outputs utilized to estimate the performance obligation associated with work-in-progress inventory, this could have a material impact on revenue and the corresponding margin recognized.
The Scot-Tussin revenue is generated from sales of product to distributors or private sellers. The Company manufactures all Scot-Tussin products internally. Revenue on these sales is recognized at a point in time, once control of the product has been transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for fulfilled product orders, including estimates of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include trade programs, consumer incentives, coupon redemptions, allowances for unsaleable products, and any additional amounts where a distinct good or service cannot be identified or the value cannot be reasonably estimated. Uncertainties related to the estimate of variable consideration are resolved in a short time frame and do not require any additional constraint on variable consideration. Adjustments to variable consideration are recognized in the period the adjustments are identified and have historically been insignificant. During the year ended December 31, 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, Scot-Tussin retail sales were impacted and the Company had to pay a penalty of approximately $102,000 for not hitting their minimum guaranteed sales margin in 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $165,981 and $58,771 in Scot-Tussin revenue, respectively.
Sales taxes and other sales-related taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis.
Contract Assets and Performance Obligations
A contract asset is recognized when the Company has recognized revenue but has not issued an invoice to its customer for payment. Contract assets are classified separately on the balance sheet and transferred to accounts receivable when rights to payment have become unconditional. Generally, the transfer from contract assets to accounts receivable occurs within the next fiscal year. The balance of contract assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $420,115 and $903,143, respectively.
8
A performance obligation is an implicitly or explicitly promised good or service that is material in the context of the contract and is both capable of being distinct (customer can benefit from the good or service on its own or together with readily available resources) and distinct within the context of the contract (separately identifiable from other promises). The Company considers all activities included in its contracts and identifies those activities representing a promise to transfer goods or services to a customer.
Contract Liabilities
The Company at times requires customers to place deposits prior to manufacturing. Other times, the Company requires an initial prepayment prior to beginning a contract or prepayment before beginning a performance obligation. Revenues on these projects are deferred until the products are ready for shipment or services have been provided. The balance of contract liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,507,627 and $1,581,326, respectively.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of pharmaceutical goods manufactured include actual product cost, quality control costs, change in inventory reserves, purchasing costs, and an allocation of indirect expenses related to these activities. Cost of research and development services includes related salaries, materials used in testing and development, and an allocation of indirect expenses that are related to these activities. Cost of consulting services includes related salaries and an allocation of indirect expenses related to these activities. Cost of Scot-Tussin revenue includes related salaries, materials used to create the product, and indirect expenses related to these activities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances with one financial institution. At December 31, 2020, accounts at this bank were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000; however, at times, these balances may exceed the insured limits by the FDIC. At December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $1,420,000 in balances over the FDIC limit. The Company has not sustained any credit losses from this institution.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had two customers which accounted for approximately 39% of revenues. The Company had two customers which accounted for approximately 85% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had two customers which accounted for approximately 28% of revenues. The Company had four customers which accounted for approximately 67% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2019.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense was approximately $13,000 and $58,000 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). When effective, the ASU will supersede FASB ASC 840, Leases, and add Topic 842, Leases to the FASB ASC. The core principle of the proposed requirements is that an entity should recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease. This represents an improvement over existing lease requirements, which do not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized by many lessees. The standard is effective January 1, 2022 for non-public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to impact the Company’s financial statements as the Company has certain operating lease arrangements for which it is the lessee. The Company is evaluating its contractual arrangements to identify the effects of ASC Topic 842.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Income Taxes
The Company is not a tax paying entity for Federal income tax purposes. All taxable income is reported to the individual members and reported on their respective individual income tax returns. Therefore, no provision of liability for Federal income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements.
9
