1. Description of business and basis of presentation |
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MannKind Corporation and its subsidiaries (“MannKind” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014 (the “Annual Report”). |
|
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of these interim periods have been included. Interim financial results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions. The more significant estimates reflected in these accompanying financial statements involve assessing long-lived assets for impairment, accrued expenses, including clinical study expenses, valuation of forward purchase contracts, valuation of the facility financing obligation, commitment asset, milestone rights, valuation of stock-based compensation and the determination of the provision for income taxes and corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. This process may result in actual results differing materially from those estimated amounts used in the preparation of the financial statements. |

Business — The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes. The Company’s lead product, AFREZZA (insulin human) inhalation powder, is a rapid-acting inhaled insulin that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on June 27, 2014 to improve glycemic control in adult patients with diabetes. |
|
Basis of Presentation — The Company is considered to be in the development stage as its primary activities since incorporation have been establishing its facilities, recruiting personnel, conducting research and development, business development, business and financial planning, and raising capital. It is costly to develop therapeutic products and conduct clinical studies for these products. From its inception through September 30, 2014, the Company had accumulated net losses of $2.5 billion, which include cumulative negative cash flow from operations of $1.7 billion and a goodwill impairment charge of $151.4 million. |
|
On August 11, 2014, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the “Sanofi License Agreement”) with Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH (which subsequently assigned its rights and obligations under the agreement to Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC (“Sanofi”)), pursuant to which Sanofi will be responsible for global commercial, regulatory and development activities for AFREZZA. Under the Sanofi License Agreement, the Company received a $150.0 million up-front fee and may earn up to an aggregate of $775.0 million upon the achievement of certain development, manufacturing, regulatory and sales milestones. Worldwide profits and losses with respect to AFREZZA will be shared 65% by Sanofi and 35% by the Company. Pursuant to a supply agreement, the Company will manufacture AFREZZA at its manufacturing facility in Danbury, Connecticut to supply Sanofi’s demand for the product. The Sanofi License Agreement became effective on September 23, 2014 following completion of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s review of the transactions contemplated by the Sanofi License Agreement under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Hart-Scott-Rodino Act”) and the completion of documentation related to the $175.0 million secured loan facility being provided to the Company by an affiliate of Sanofi (the “Sanofi Loan Facility”) to fund the Company’s share of net losses under the Sanofi License Agreement. |
|
At September 30, 2014, the Company’s capital resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $172.5 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenditures to support commercial launch of AFREZZA and the development of other product candidates as contemplated under the Sanofi License Agreement. In addition, the Company’s 5.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “2015 notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million have a maturity date of August 15, 2015, and payment on the outstanding amount is due in full on that date (see Note 10 – Senior convertible notes). |

The Company may need to raise additional capital, whether through the sale of equity or debt securities, additional strategic business collaborations, the establishment of other funding facilities, licensing arrangements, asset sales or other means. Additional funding sources that are, or in certain circumstances may be available to the Company, include approximately $30.1 million principal amount of available borrowings under its loan arrangement ( the “Loan Arrangement”) with The Mann Group LLC (“The Mann Group”) (see note 9 – Related-party arrangements), potential proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued in its February 2012 public offering of approximately $20 million, the Company’s at-the-market issuance sales agreements which allow the Company to sell up to $50 million in common stock, and pursuant to the facility agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. (“Deerfield Private Design Fund”) and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”) and the First Amendment to Facility Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (the “First Amendment”) additional sales of an additional tranche of notes (the “Tranche B notes”) of up to $70 million which must be purchased prior to December 30, 2014 (see Note 11 – Facility Agreement). |
|
Although we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and available debt financing will be sufficient to finance our operational cash needs through at least the next twelve months, should our results not meet our current operating plan, it could negatively impact our liquidity and we may need to raise additional capital or seek additional financing sources as discussed above. There can be no assurance that we would be able to raise such additional financing or additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, and if we are not able to raise adequate additional financing or capital to continue to fund our ongoing operations, we will need to defer, reduce or eliminate significant planned expenditures or significantly curtail our operations, and there may be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. |

Prepaid expenses and other current assets — Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily consist of prepaid expenses for goods and services to be received. As of September 30, 2014, prepaid and other current assets had a balance of $20.3 million, mainly comprised of a $15.0 million prepayment for 2015 quantities of insulin, prepaid insurance, and prepaid clinical trial expenses. |
|
On July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Amphastar France Pharmaceuticals S.A.S., a French corporation (“Amphastar”), pursuant to which Amphastar will manufacture for and supply to the Company certain quantities of recombinant human insulin for use in AFREZZA. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, Amphastar will be responsible for manufacturing the insulin in accordance with the Company’s specifications and agreed-upon quality standards. The Company has agreed to purchase annual minimum quantities of insulin under the Supply Agreement of an aggregate of approximately €120.1 million in calendar years 2015 through 2019. The Company may request to purchase additional quantities of insulin over such annual minimum quantities. As part of the Supply Agreement, the Company paid a $15.0 million deposit to Amphastar as prepayment for 2015 quantities of insulin. |
|
Unless earlier terminated, the term of the Supply Agreement expires on December 31, 2019 and can be renewed for additional, successive two year terms upon 12 months’ written notice, given prior to the end of the initial term or any additional two year term. The Company and Amphastar each have normal and customary termination rights, including termination for material breach that is not cured within a specific time frame or in the event of liquidation, bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. In addition, the Company may terminate the Supply Agreement upon two years’ prior written notice to Amphastar without cause or upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Amphastar if a controlling regulatory authority withdraws approval for AFREZZA, provided, however, in the event of a termination pursuant to either of the latter two scenarios, the provisions of the Supply Agreement require the Company to pay the full amount of all unpaid purchase commitments due over the initial term within 60 calendar days of the effective date of such termination. |

Sale of intellectual property — On July 18, 2014, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with a third party whereby the third party acquired all proprietary rights, technology and know-how that related to a small molecule inhibitor compound and all pre-clinical data and results related thereto. Under the terms of the assignment agreement, the Company received total consideration of $9.3 million, which was offset by $1.4 million of expense associated with the sale of the intellectual property related to oncology. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value of the cash equivalents, note payable to related party, senior convertible notes, and the elements of the Facility Agreement are discussed in Note 13, “Fair value of financial instruments.” |

Recently Issued Accounting Standards — In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the financial statements presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in this ASU do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the new requirement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

In May 2014, a new standard was issued related to revenue recognition, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition standards in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The new standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, whereby the new standard is applied to each prior reporting period presented or “modified retrospective” adoption, whereby the new standard is only applied to the most current period presented with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application. The Company is assessing the potential impact of the new standard on its consolidated statements of financial position and results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and has not yet selected a transition method. |

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this ASU remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the ASU: (a) adds an example disclosure in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities; and (b) removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. The presentation and disclosure requirements in Topic 915 will no longer be required for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The revised consolidation standards are effective one year later, in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-10 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
|
On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is “substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
