Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
Principles of consolidation |
|
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Lannett Company, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as Cody LCI Realty, LLC (“Realty”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company has a 50% ownership interest. See Note 12 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity” for more information. Noncontrolling interest in Realty is recorded net of tax as net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Additionally, all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
|
Reclassifications |
|
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation, as follows: |
|
In particular, the Company now presents substantially all of the revenue-related reserves for each net sales adjustment, previously presented as “Rebates, chargebacks and returns payable” in the current liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as a reduction of “Accounts Receivable” in the current assets section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 4 “Accounts Receivable” for additional information. |
|
The Company also reclassified certain reserve balances related to rebate programs for Medicare Part D, Medicaid and certain sales allowances and other adjustments to indirect customers. These amounts were previously presented in “Rebates, chargebacks and returns payable” in the current liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. They are now presented as “Accrued Expenses” in the current liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 3 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Net Sales Adjustments” policy disclosure for additional information. |
|
Use of estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are required in the determination of revenue recognition and sales discounts for estimated chargebacks, rebates, returns and other adjustments including a provision for the Company’s liability under the Medicare Part D program. Additionally, significant estimates and assumptions are required when determining the fair value of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets, income taxes, contingencies, and share-based compensation. Because of the inherent subjectivity and complexity involved in these estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Foreign currency translation |
|
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency of the Company. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are maintained in local currency and translated into U.S. dollars at the end of each reporting period. Assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The adjustments resulting from the use of differing exchange rates are recorded as part of stockholders’ equity in accumulated comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses, which are not significant, resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under Other income (expense). |
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity less than or equal to three months at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value, and consist of bank deposits and certificates of deposit that are readily convertible into cash. The Company maintains its cash deposits and cash equivalents at well-known, stable financial institutions. Such amounts frequently exceed insured limits. |
|
Investment securities |
|
The Company’s investment securities consist solely of publicly traded equity securities which are classified as trading investments. Investment securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing sources at each reporting date. Gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under Other income (expense). |
|
Allowance for doubtful accounts |
|
The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time balances are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible. |
|
Inventories |
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are regularly reviewed and provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on current inventory levels and estimated sales forecasts. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded provisions for excess and obsolete inventory of $692 thousand and $92 thousand, respectively. |
|
Property, Plant and Equipment |
|
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense for each of the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.1 million. |
|
Intangible Assets |
|
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from 10 to 15 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset are expensed as incurred. The Company has one indefinite-lived intangible asset related to a product Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”), valued at $149 thousand. Amortization on this indefinite-lived intangible will begin at such time as the Company begins shipping the product and determines a finite useful life. |
|

Customer, Supplier and Product Concentration |
|
The following table presents the percentage of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, for certain of the Company’s products, defined as generic products containing the same active ingredient or combination of ingredients, which accounted for at least 10% of net sales in either of those periods: |
|
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Product 1 | | 44 | % | 39 | % | | |
Product 2 | | 6 | % | 10 | % | | |
Product 3 | | 4 | % | 10 | % | | |
|
The following table presents the percentage of total net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, for certain of the Company’s customers which accounted for at least 10% of net sales in either of those periods: |
|
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Customer A | | 16 | % | 17 | % | | |
Customer B | | 14 | % | 11 | % | | |
Customer C | | 11 | % | 10 | % | | |
Customer D | | 8 | % | 10 | % | | |
|
At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, four customers accounted for 76% and 78% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance, respectively. Credit terms are offered to customers based on evaluations of the customers’ financial condition, and collateral is generally not required. |
|
The Company’s primary finished goods inventory supplier is Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“JSP”), in Bohemia, New York. Purchases of finished goods inventory from JSP accounted for approximately 67% and 59% of the Company’s inventory purchases during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. See Note 21 “Material Contracts with Suppliers” for more information. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and provisions for rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, and other potential adjustments are reasonably determinable. The Company also considers all other relevant criteria specified in Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Topic No. 13, “Revenue Recognition”, in determining when to recognize revenue. |
|
Net Sales Adjustments |
|
When revenue is recognized a simultaneous adjustment to revenue is made for chargebacks, rebates, returns, promotional adjustments, price adjustments known as shelf-stock adjustments, and other potential adjustments. These provisions are primarily estimated based on historical experience, future expectations, contractual arrangements with wholesalers and indirect customers, and other factors known to management at the time of accrual. Accruals for provisions are presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements as a reduction to gross sales with the corresponding reserve presented as a reduction to accounts receivable or in accrued expenses. The reserves, presented as a reduction of accounts receivable, totaled $20.6 million and $17.5 million at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Accrued expenses at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013 included $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for certain rebate programs, primarily related to Medicare Part D and Medicaid, and certain sales allowances and other adjustments paid to indirect customers. |
|
Cost of Sales |
|
Cost of sales includes all costs related to bringing products to their final selling destination, which includes direct and indirect costs, such as direct material, labor, and overhead expenses. Additionally, cost of sales includes product royalties, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, freight charges and other shipping and handling expenses. |
|
Research and Development |
|
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, including all production costs until a drug candidate is approved by the FDA. Research and Development expenses include costs associated with internal projects as well as costs associated with third-party research and development contracts. |
|
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets |
|
The Company’s long-lived assets primarily consist of property, plant and equipment as well as definite-lived intangible assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (“triggering events”) indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If a triggering event is determined to have occurred the first step in the impairment test is to compare the asset’s carrying value to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flow of the asset then impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which in most cases is calculated using a discounted cash flow model. Discounted cash flow models are highly reliant on various assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs, including estimates of future cash flows (including long-term growth rates), discount rates, and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows. |
|
Contingencies |
|
Loss contingencies, including litigation related contingencies, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the Company concludes that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees related to litigation related matters are expensed as incurred and included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations under the Selling, general and administrative line item. |
|
Advertising Costs |
|
The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1 thousand and $2 thousand, respectively. |
|
Share-based Compensation |
|
Share-based compensation costs are recognized over the vesting period, using a straight-line method, based on the fair value of the instrument on the date of grant less an estimate for forfeitures. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options and the stock price on the grant date to value restricted stock. The Black-Scholes valuation model includes various assumptions, including the expected volatility, the expected life of the award, dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. These assumptions involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions which are generally outside the Company’s control. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on share-based compensation costs recognized in the financial statements. |
|
Income Taxes |
|
The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes as prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or enacted tax rates in the period during which they are signed into law. |
|
The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position claimed on a tax return only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The authoritative standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, a valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized through generating sufficient future taxable income. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings. |
|
Earnings Per Common Share |
|
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Lannett Company, Inc. common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Lannett Company, Inc. common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period including additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities; Anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation. These potentially dilutive securities primarily consist of stock options and unvested restricted stock. |
|
Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
|
Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period except those that resulted from investments by or distributions to a company’s stockholders. Other comprehensive income or loss refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are included in comprehensive income (loss), but excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. |
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This authoritative guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance by the Company did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
