Introduction
We develop tiny, sustained-release drug delivery products designed to deliver drugs and biologics at a controlled and steady rate for weeks, months or years. WeUtilizing our core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™, we are focused on treatment of chronic diseases of the back of the eye utilizing our core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™. We currently have three approved products and two principal product candidates under development, which represent successive generations of our Durasert technology platform.are also exploring applications outside ophthalmology. We have developed three of the four sustained release devicessustained-release products for treatment of retinal diseases currently approved in the U.S. or the European Union (EU)., and our lead product candidate began a Phase III clinical trial in June 2013. Our strategy includes developing products independently while continuing to leverage our technology platforms through collaboration and license agreements.
ILUVIEN.ILUVIEN®Our, our most recently approved product, ILUVIEN®, is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert delivering the corticosteroid fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) over a period of up to 3 years for thethat provides treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.therapies over a period of up to three years. ILUVIEN is being developedlicensed to and sold by our licensee Alimera Sciences, Inc. (Alimera).
, and we are entitled to a share of the net profits, as defined, from Alimera’s sales of ILUVIEN has received marketing authorizationfor DME. Alimera commenced the commercial launch of ILUVIEN for DME in the United Kingdom, Austria,U.K. and Germany in the second quarter of 2013 and expects to launch in France Germany and Portugal, and marketing authorization is pending in Italy and Spain.the first quarter of 2014. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that approximately 19.119.0 million people in these seven countries have diabetes in the seven EU countries where ILUVIEN has received or been recommended for marketing authorization, of which Alimera has estimated that approximately 1.1 million people suffer from vision loss associated with DME. Alimera has announced its intention to proceed with the direct commercialization of ILUVIEN in Germany, the U.K. and France in 2013.
To date, Alimera has not receivedis also seeking marketing approval for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. Following receiptIn the second quarter of 2013, Alimera received a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of October 17, 2013 after
resubmitting its New Drug Application (NDA) for ILUVIEN for DME. The resubmission responded to a second Complete Response Letter in November 2011 (2011 CRL)(CRL) received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2011.
Medidur™, and based on a meeting withour lead development product, commenced the FDA in June 2012, Alimera has reported that it intends to resubmit its New Drug Application (NDA) for ILUVIEN for DME in early 2013. Alimera further reported that it intends to include additional analysisfirst of the benefits and risks of ILUVIEN based upon the clinical data from itsour two previously completed pivotalplanned Phase III clinical trials (FAME™ Study) and to focus on the population of patients for which regulatory approval has been granted in the various EU countries.
Product Development. We are pursuing the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (posterior uveitis) as another indication forin June 2013. Medidur uses the same injectableDurasert micro-insert used in ILUVIEN. We did not license this indication to Alimera. The FDA has cleared our Investigational New Drug application (IND), permitting us to move directly to two Phase III trials for this indication without the necessityILUVIEN and delivers a lower dose of first conducting Phase I or Phase II trials. The FDA has agreed that the primary end point in these trials will be recurrence of uveitis within 12 months and that we can reference much of the data, including the clinical safety data, from the clinical trials for ILUVIEN for DME. We plan to enroll a total of approximately 300 patients in our clinical trials and to utilize an inserter with a different design and a smaller gauge needle than the planned commercial inserter for ILUVIEN for DME. Because this micro-insert delivers the same drug as our approvedFDA-approved Retisert® product for posterior uveitis, we expect these trials will show efficacy. Further, as the same micro-insert was used in the ILUVIEN trials, we expectwhich is licensed to observe a side-effect profile in uveitis patients comparable to that seen in DME patients. As a result, weBausch & Lomb. We are optimistic that this micro-insert will be efficacious for posterior uveitis with a favorable risk/benefit profile and fewer side effects compared to Retisert. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II study of the safety and efficacy of this micro-insert for the treatment of posterior uveitis is ongoing.developing Medidur independently.
We are also developing a bioerodible, injectable micro-insert delivering latanoprost (the Latanoprost Product) to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalation study is ongoing to assess the safety and efficacy of this micro-insert in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). We have grantedUnder an amended collaboration agreement, Pfizer Inc. has an exclusive option, under variouscertain circumstances, to license the worldwide development and commercialization of the Latanoprost Product for the treatment of human ophthalmic disease or conditions other than uveitis.worldwide.
We are investigatingengaged in pre-clinical research with respect to both our BioSilicon and Durasert technology platforms. The primary focus of our BioSilicon technology research is the sustained delivery of peptides, proteins, antibodies and other large biologic molecules using our Tethadur™ technology in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic applications. Our research program also includes the use of Durasert technology in orthopedic applications and for the treatment of orthopedic diseases.
BioSilicon.The second key technology platform we are targeting is BioSilicon, which uses fully-erodible, nanostructured, porous material for sustained drug delivery. Our primary focus is on Tethadur™, an application of BioSilicon technology designed to provide sustainedsystemic delivery of large biologic molecules, including proteins, antibodies and peptides. The sizes of the pores in the BioSilicon material are manufactured using nanotechnology to accommodate specific protein, peptide or antibody molecules that are then released on a sustained basis over time as the material bioerodes. Our BioSilicon technology can also be designed to deliver smaller molecules. We are investigating the use of BioSilicon in our Latanoprost Product and the use of Tethadur in other ophthalmic applications.therapeutic agents.
FDA-Approved Products.Our two FDA-approved products utilize two earlier generations of our Durasert technology system and are surgically implanted. Second-generation Retisert delivers FAc to provide provides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and a half years and first-generation Vitrasert® delivers gancicloviris licensed to provide sustained release treatment of AIDS-related cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis for six to nine months.

Strategy
Our strategy is to use our proprietary Durasert and BioSilicon drug delivery technology platforms to independently develop new drug delivery products for already-approved drugs and biologics to better treat diseases in the ophthalmic area and beyond, while continuing to leverage our technology platforms through collaborations and licenses with leading pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies, institutions and others. We believe our technologies can provide sustained, targeted delivery of several already-approved drugs and biologics, resulting in improved effectiveness, better patient compliance and convenience, with reduced risk and cost of product development for us. We believe our proven track record of three approved products demonstrates the effectiveness of this strategy.
• | Develop Sustained Delivery of Off-Patent Drugs and Biologics.Many drugs and biologics either are or are soon to be off-patent. It is estimated over the next 8 years that patent coverage will end on products with world-wide sales aggregating over $50 billion annually. We plan to use our technology platforms to develop products using off-patent and generic drugs and biologics with a significant market opportunity where either less frequent dosing through sustained delivery and/or release at the treatment site through targeted delivery would provide a material improvement to the effectiveness or convenience of the original product. We are optimistic that our BioSilicon technology can provide sustained delivery of large biologic molecules, which currently cannot be effectively delivered by other |
sustained delivery technologies. By focusing on delivery of already-approved drugs and biologics, particularly those requiring shorter clinical trials, we believe we can minimize the risks and financial investments required for product approval. |
• | Continue Partnering with Leading Biopharmaceutical and Pharmaceutical Companies. We intend to continue to partner with leading biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies, institutions and others, where patent protection, development and regulatory costs, expertise or other factors make it desirable for us to have a partner. For example, many drugs and biologics that might be more effectively delivered by our platform technologies, whether as a result of less frequent dosing, targeted delivery or otherwise, have extended patent protection, which could make collaborations with the patent holders attractive. We might also partner the development of products, including off-patent drugs or biologics that could materially benefit from sustained delivery, but would require expensive clinical trials or are in treatment areas outside of our technical expertise. Our drug delivery technologies could also permit companies to extend the patent protection on drugs coming off-patent while offering an improved product. |
• | Expand Beyond Ophthalmology.While we are continuing to focus on our core ophthalmic competency, we are studying treatment of diseases in other areas where we believe our technology platforms could provide a significant advantage. For example, we are studying the potential use of our technologies in orthopedics as well as in systemic release of therapeutic agents. |
Market Overview
Drug Delivery of Drugs and Biologics Generally
The therapeutic value of a therapeutic agent (small drug molecule or biologic) depends on its distribution throughout the body,to, and reaction with, the targeted site, reaction withtissue and other tissues and organs in the body, duration of treatment, and clearance from the body. In an ideal treatment, the appropriate amount of drug or biologic is delivered to the intended sitetissue at an adequate concentration and maintained there for a sufficient period of time without causing adverse effecteffects to other tissues and organs.tissues. Accordingly, the manner in which a drug or biologic is delivered can be asan important toelement of the ultimate therapeutic value of the treatment as the intrinsic properties of the drug itself.treatment.
Drugs are typicallyfrequently administered systemically by oral dosing or by injection and are subsequently dispersed throughout the body via the circulatory system. In the case of many cases,drugs, systemic administration does not deliver drugsthem to the intended site at an adequate concentration for a sufficient period of time or fails to achievedelivers them in a concentration that disperses too quickly, thereby not achieving the maximum potential therapeutic benefit.
Because systemically delivered drugs disperse throughout the body, they often must beare administered at highhigher dosage levels in order to achieve sufficient concentrations at the intended site.sites. Some areas of the body, such as the eyes, joints, brain and nervous system, have natural barriers that impede the movement of drugs to those areas, requiring the administration of even higher systemic doses.doses of systemically delivered drugs. These high dosage levels can cause harmful side effects when the drug interactsdrugs interact with other tissues and organs.
tissues. In some cases, drugs may be administered locally to the targeted site, typically by injection. While this may avoid the issues of systemic delivery, problems of sufficient concentrations over time at the targeted site remain. Timely and repeated administration of systemically and locally delivered drugs is often necessary to maintain therapeutic drug levels over an extended period of time. However, patients
The administration of biologics is typically more difficult than small drug molecules. Biologics generally cannot be administered orally, but instead are administered by injection or infusion. Due to the size and complexity of biologics, sustained release formulations are difficult to prepare and many biologics require repeated injections or infusions to maintain appropriate levels over the course of treatment.
Patients often fail to takedo not get drugs asor biologics on the schedule prescribed, or fail to attend follow-up visits and, as a result,at all, because they do not receiveself-administer the potential therapeutic benefit.products correctly or do not go to medical professionals as required for administration. The risk of patient noncompliance increases ifdue to various factors, such as requirements to receive multiple drugs are required, if theproducts, complex or painful dosing regimenregimens, patient age, cognitive impairment or serious illness or length of treatment.
Repeated administration by injection or infusion can result in serious infections and other complications. Further, repeated administration by medical professionals is complicated or if the patient is elderly or cognitively impaired.often expensive.
Due to the drawbacks of traditional systemic drug and biologic delivery, the development of methods to deliver drugsthem to patients in a more precise, controlled fashion over sustained periods of time has becomeis a multi-billion dollar industry. Such methodsmedical goal. Methods for sustained drug delivery include oral and injectable controlled-release products and skin patches. These methodspatches that seek to improve the consistency of the dosage over time and extend the duration of delivery. However, most of these methods still cannot provide constant, controlled dosage or deliver drugs for a sufficiently long duration. This reduces their effectivenessduration for many indications, particularly diseases that are chronic or require precise dosing. In addition, most of these methods still deliver drugs systemically and, as a result, can still cause adverse side effects throughout the body.There are currently very few approved sustained delivery products for biologics.
Ophthalmic Drug Delivery
Delivery of drugs to treat back-of-the-eyeTreating retinal diseases is a significant issue in ophthalmology.challenge. Due to the effectiveness of the blood/eye barrier, it is difficult for systemically administered drugs to reach the eyeretina in sufficient quantities to have a beneficial effect without adverse side effects to other parts of the body. There is a need for drug delivery inside the eye in a manner that is safe, effective and practical for long-term use. While there are currently many approaches to delivering medications to the eye, most do not achieve sufficient and consistent concentrations within the eye for the appropriate period of time.
Injecting drugs or biologics in solution directly into the back of the eye can achieve effective, but often transient, drugdosage levels in the eye, requiring repeated injections. Examples include Macugen® (pegaptanib sodium) and, Lucentis® (ranibizumab) and EYLEA® (afilbercept), which are injected into the eye as frequently as approximately every four to eight weeks. Apart from inconvenience and cost, repeated intravitreal injections carry risks, including intraocular infection, perforated sclera, vitreous hemorrhage and cataract formation.
TechnologiesTechnology Systems and Products
Our primarytwo core technology systems areplatforms, Durasert and BioSilicon.
Durasert Technology System
ILUVIEN, Retisert and Vitrasert, as well as our glaucoma and posterior uveitis product candidates, use different generations of our proprietary Durasert technology system, which delivers specific quantities of drugs directly to a target site inBioSilicon, have the body at controlled rates for predetermined periods of time ranging from weeks to years. The Durasert technology system is designed to provide the benefits of direct delivery of appropriate quantities of drug over an extended period, while addressing the drawbacks of systemic drug delivery, including adverse side effects characteristic of high dosing levels and reduced treatment benefits due to variations in drug levels at the target site. The Durasert technology system has three principal attributes designed to deliver these advantages:following attributes:
|
|
• | Extended Delivery. |
• | Controlled Release Rate. Our technology platforms can release therapeutics at a sustained, controlled rate. We believe that this feature allows us to develop products that deliver optimal concentrations of therapeutics and eliminate excessive variability in dosing over time. |
• | Localized Delivery. Our technology platforms can deliver therapeutics directly at a target site. This administration can allow the natural barriers of the body to isolate and assist in maintaining appropriate concentrations at the target site in an effort to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect while minimizing unwanted systemic effects. |
Durasert Technology System
The Durasert technology system consists ofplatform uses a drug core with one or more surrounding polymer layers.layers to provide sustained delivery of drugs. Drug release is controlled by the permeability of the polymer layers. By changing elements of the design, we can controlalter both the rate and duration of release to meet different therapeutic needs.

ILUVIEN for Chronic DME
ILUVIEN licensedis an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert delivering fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) over a period of up to Alimera, has received marketing approval in five EU countries to treat3 years for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies, and Alimera has reported that it intends to focus resubmission of its NDA seeking marketing approval in the U.S. for this indication. therapies.
DME causes swelling in the macula, the most sensitive part of the retina, and is a leading cause of blindness in most developed countries in the working-age population. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that approximately 19.0 million people have diabetes in the U.K., France, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Italy and Spain,six EU countries where ILUVIEN has been approved, and Alimera estimates that approximately 1.1 million of those people suffer from vision loss associated with DME. In addition, DME has been estimated to affect over 1.0 million people in the United States. ILUVIEN, which is inserted via a 25-gauge, transconjunctival delivery system to the back of the eye in an in-office procedure, is designed to deliver FAc on a sustained basis for up to 36 months. There is currently no approved sustained release drug treatment for DME in the U.S. or (other than ILUVIEN) in the EU.
ILUVIEN is licensed to Alimera, which commenced the commercial launch of ILUVIEN for DME in the United Kingdom and Germany in the second quarter of 2013 and expects to launch in France in the first quarter of 2014. Alimera is also seeking marketing approval in the U.S. We are entitled to share in net profits, as defined, on sales of ILUVIEN for DME by Alimera on a country-by-country basis.
Under our agreement with See “Strategic Collaborations—Alimera” below. Alimera ILUVIEN is being studied in threehas completed two 36-month Phase IIIII clinical trials with respect to other chronic eye diseases. One trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ILUVIEN in conjunction with Lucentis in patients with wet AMD to provide information on the potential of ILUVIEN to maintain the efficacy of Lucentis while reducing the overall number of Lucentis treatments. The second trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ILUVIEN in patients with bilateral geographic atrophy secondary to dry AMD. The third trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of ILUVIEN in patients with macular edema secondary to RVO.
(the FAMEDevelopment Program for ILUVIEN for the Treatment of DME®
Alimera completed the 36-month FAME Study for ILUVIEN involving Study), which involved 956 patients in sites acrossin the United States,U.S., Canada, Europe and India, to assess the efficacy and safety of ILUVIEN in the treatment of DME. Combined enrollment of the FAME Study was completed in October 2007, the 24-month clinical readout was received in December 2009, and 36-month follow-up was completed in October 2010. The status of marketing approvals in the EU and the U.S. for ILUVIEN for DME and its commercial launch are as follows:
European Union.Alimera has received marketing authorization for ILUVIEN for DME in Austria,the U.K., Germany, France, Germany,Austria, Portugal and the U.K. for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.Spain. These approvals followed a favorable determination of approvability under the EU’s Decentralized Procedure (DCP). Marketing authorization is pending in Italy, and Spain alsowhich participated in the DCP, and marketing authorization in these countries is pending.DCP. As part of thethis approval process, in these countries, Alimera reported it has committed to conduct a five-year, post-authorization, open label registry study of ILUVIEN in patients with chronic DME.
In the second quarter of 2013, Alimera has reported thatcommercially launched ILUVIEN in Germany and the U.K. and expects to launch in France in the first halfquarter of 2013 it intends2014. Alimera does not currently plan to useexpand the Mutual Recognition Procedure (MRP) to pursue marketing authorizations forcommercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in otherthe EU beyond those three countries prioritizing its efforts based on the size of the available diabetic populationuntil it achieves positive cash flows and the anticipated ease or complexity of obtaining adequate pricing and reimbursement.sustainability in those countries. Alimera indicated that its initial targets are likelycontinues to be the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
Alimera reported that it plans to launch ILUVIEN in Germany, the United Kingdom and France in 2013, and is pursuingpursue pricing and reimbursement in those countries. the EU countries and marketing authorization in Italy.
In July 2012, Alimera reported that it received a letter from Germany’sGermany, the Federal Joint Committee indicatingindicated that the obligation to submit a dossier on ILUVIEN for DME, per the Arzneimittelmarkt-Neuordnungsgesetz law, would not be necessary, and that a benefit assessment would not be required, which allowsallowed Alimera to launch ILUVIEN for DME in Germany without price restriction. Alimera is in the process of securing agreements for reimbursement with German statutory insurance funds so that German patients will not be required to submit individual funding requests for reimbursement.
In August 2012,the U.K., ILUVIEN for DME is currently only available for private pay and privately insured patients as a result of final guidance from the U.K.’s National Institute for Health and ClinicalCare Excellence (NICE). In April 2013, Alimera submitted a Patient Access Scheme (PAS) to NICE to assess the likely impact of the PAS and to determine whether an update to NICE’s previously issued final guidance was warranted. In June 2013, the NICE Appraisal Committee published draft guidance thatrecommending ILUVIEN is not recommended for the treatment of pseudophakic patients (those who have undergone prior cataract surgery) with chronic DME basedconsidered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. If NICE amends its guidance to adopt this recommendation, ILUVIEN will also become available to pseudophakic patients in the U.K, which typically constitute a large subgroup of chronic DME patients, with the anticipation that it would be funded in England and Wales through the National Health Service.
In France, the Transparency Commission (Commission de la Transparence or CT) of the French National Health Authority (Haute Autorite de Sante) has issued a favorable opinion for the reimbursement and hospital listing by the French National Health Insurance of ILUVIEN for chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies and despite optimized management of diabetes. In France, patients will be reimbursed for 100% of the cost of ILUVIEN under Affection de Longue Duree, a program for severe chronic disease, such as diabetes. Alimera has reported that it will move forward with the next step in the process, which is to determine the price and any reimbursement conditions for ILUVIEN in France.
United States.Alimera received a new PDUFA goal date of October 17, 2013 following its second resubmission of the NDA for ILUVIEN for DME in March 2013. Using clinical data available from the previously completed FAME Study, this resubmission focused on the assessmentsafety aspects of its Independent Appraisal CommitteeILUVIEN and provided additional analyses as well as information to support that Alimera’s economic models underestimatedILUVIEN is safe and effective in the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, and thattreatment of the evidence submitted by Alimera did not accurately reflect current clinical practice.
In September 2012, Alimera reported that as part of its comments on the draft guidance, NICE has accepted for review additional data relating to the pseudophakic subgroup population of patients with chronic DME (those patients who already had cataract surgery and received an artificial lens when they enteredconsidered insufficiently responsive to available therapies, the FAME Study). Alimera reported that it determined thatsame subgroup for which marketing authorization for ILUVIEN was more cost-effectivehas been granted in this subgroup because patients with artificial lenses cannot develop another cataract in the treated eyes and therefore cannot experience a transient reduction in visual acuity as the result of cataract development nor incur the costs associated with cataract surgery. NICE has not yet issued final guidance to the U.K. National Health Service, and its draft recommendations may change. NICE has reported that final guidance is likely to be published in November 2012.
Alimera reported that it plans to launch ILUVIEN for DME on its own in Germany during the first quarter of 2013 and in the U.K. and France later in 2013. Alimera further reported that it has agreements for a $40.0 million equity financing, subject to certain closing conditions, including the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Alimera, to provide capital to launch ILUVIENsix countries in the EU. Stockholders holding approximately 56%Additionally, data was submitted from a completed physician utilization study for the ILUVIEN applicator and from a special reading center assessment of Alimera’s common stock as of July 17, 2012 were reported as having agreed to vote their shares in favorphotographs of the financing transaction.fundus, or the interior surface of the eye, that were collected during the FAME study. If approved, Alimera intends to commercialize ILUVIEN directly to retina centers across the US.
United States.In June 2010, Alimera has previously received two CRLs concluding that the NDA could not be approved in its then current form. Alimera originally submitted anthe NDA for ILUVIEN in the U.S.,June 2010, largely based on analyses of clinical data through month 24 of the FAME Study.Phase III trials. In December 2010, Alimera received a Complete Response Letter (2010 CRL)its first CRL, in which the FDA communicated its decision that the ILUVIEN NDA could not be approved in its current form. In the 2010 CRL, the FDA asked for analyses of safety and efficacy data through month 36 of the FAME Study, including exploratory analyses in addition to those previously submitted in the NDA, to further assess the relative benefits and risks of ILUVIEN.Phase III trials. In May 2011, Alimera submitted itsresubmitted the NDA in response to the 2010 CRL, to the FDA, including additional safety and efficacy data through month 36 of the FAME Study. Additionally, Alimera reportedand analyses of data from the FAME Study for the subgroup of patients who had been diagnosed withchronic DME for three or more years at entry of the FAME Study.patients.
In a second CRL received in November 2011, the FDA issued the 2011 CRL to communicateconcluded that the resubmitted NDA could not be approved in its current form, stating that the NDA did not provide sufficient data to support that ILUVIEN is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with DME. The FDA stated that the risks of adverse reactions shown for ILUVIEN in the FAME StudyPhase III trials were significant and were not offset by the benefits demonstrated by ILUVIEN in these clinicalthose trials. The FDA further indicated that Alimera would need to conduct two additional clinical trials to demonstrate that the product is safe and effective for the proposed indication. Alimera reported that inIn June 2012, itAlimera met with the FDA to gain a better understanding of the regulatory path for ILUVIEN in the U.S. and, based on that meeting, it plansAlimera’s March 2013 resubmission responded to resubmit its NDA for ILUVIEN for DME in early 2013. Alimera reported that it intends to include additional analysis of the benefits and risks of ILUVIEN based upon clinicalthis CRL using data from the FAME StudyStudy.
Other Diseases.Under our agreement with Alimera, ILUVIEN is also being studied in two Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of the dry form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). A Phase II trial studying ILUVIEN in the treatment of the wet form of AMD has been terminated based on an interim analysis, due to focus on the populationdetermination that the endpoint of patients with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsivereducing the number of anti-VEGF injections may not be appropriate to available therapies,assess the benefit of ILUVIEN in that disease.
Medidur for Posterior Uveitis
Medidur is our lead development product for the treatment of posterior uveitis, an autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of the posterior of the eye that can cause sudden or gradual vision loss. This product uses the same indicationmicro-insert used in ILUVIEN for which regulatory approval has been granted in various EU countries. The resubmissionDME, but is administered with a different inserter than the commercial inserter for ILUVIEN for DME. Medidur delivers FAc, the same drug as our FDA-approved Retisert for posterior uveitis, but at a lower dose, and is expected to addresstreat posterior uveitis on a sustained basis over a period of up to 3 years.
In June 2013, we initiated the issues raisedfirst of two planned Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for the treatment of posterior uveitis. These trials are expected to include clinical sites in the 2011 CRLU.S., Europe and Asia. The trials will have a primary end-point of recurrence of posterior uveitis at 12 months and are expected to enroll approximately 300 patients in Alimera’s June 2012 meeting withtotal. If the results of the trials are positive, we plan to use the data to submit an NDA to the FDA. Alimera also reportedThe FDA has permitted us to move directly to Phase III clinical trials and confirmed that it expectswe will be able to continue enrollment of patients in the physician utilization study, suspended after issuancereference much of the 2011 CRL, that is evaluatingdata, including the clinical safety and utility of the commercial version of the inserter for ILUVIEN in a targeted 100 patient eyes. Results of this study will be required for any approvaldata, from Alimera’s FAME Study of ILUVIEN for DMEDME. We are developing Medidur independently and have not licensed the rights to Medidur for posterior uveitis to Alimera or any other third party.
Because Medidur delivers FAc, the same drug as our FDA-approved Retisert product for posterior uveitis, although at a slower rate, we are optimistic that Medidur will show efficacy comparable to Retisert. Further, as Medidur uses the same micro-insert as ILUVIEN, we expect to observe a side-effect profile in posterior uveitis patients that is superior to that observed for Retisert for posterior uveitis and comparable to ILUVIEN for DME. As a result, we are optimistic that Medidur will be efficacious for posterior uveitis with a more favorable risk/benefit profile and fewer side effects than Retisert. Early interim data from an investigator-sponsored study is consistent with this hypothesis. Medidur is also easier to administer than Retisert because it is injected in an office visit, whereas Retisert is implanted in a surgical procedure.
In the U.S., posterior uveitis affects approximately 175,000 people and is responsible for approximately 30,000 cases of blindness, making it the third largest cause of blindness in the U.S.
Retisert for Posterior Uveitis
Retisert is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye, an autoimmune condition characterized by inflammation of the posterior of the eye that can cause sudden or gradual vision loss.uveitis. Retisert is surgically implanted through a 3-4 mm incision and delivers sustained levels of FAc for approximately 30 months. Retisert was approved as an orphan drug in 2005, which provided for seven-year exclusive marketing rights. Retisert is licensed to Bausch & Lomb, which sells the product in the U.SU.S. and pays sales-based royalties to us.
Vitrasert for CMV Retinitis
Vitrasert iswas our first product, approved in the U.S. and the EU for the treatment of CMV retinitis, a blinding eye disease that occurs in individuals with advanced AIDS. Vitrasert, which is surgically implanted through a 5-6 mm incision, provides sustained treatment for six to eight months through the intravitreal delivery of the anti-viral drug ganciclovir. Studies have shown thatganciclovir for six to eight months. Vitrasert is one of the most effective approved treatments for CMV retinitis. Vitrasert has beenwas originally licensed to and sold since 1996, first by Chiron Corporation and subsequently by Bausch & Lomb. Although CMV retinitis was relatively common in AIDS patients in the early 1990s, improvements in the treatment of AIDS/HIV have since significantly decreased the incidence of the disease in more developed countries. Accordingly,During fiscal 2013, Bausch & Lomb discontinued sales of Vitrasert and associated royalty income to us, are not material.following patent expiration.
Other Durasert Product Candidates
Posterior Uveitis Product Candidate
We are pursuing the use of the same micro-insert used in ILUVIEN for the treatment of posterior uveitis, the same indication for which Retisert is approved. We did not license Alimera the right to use our technology, including this micro-insert, for development of a product to treat uveitis. In the U.S., posterior uveitis affects approximately 175,000 people and is responsible for approximately 30,000 cases of blindness, making it the third largest cause of blindness.
The FDA has cleared our IND for this indication, permitting us to move directly to two Phase III trials, with a primary endpoint of recurrence of uveitis within 12 months, without the necessity to first conduct Phase I or Phase II trials. We currently plan to enroll a total of approximately 300 patients and to utilize an inserter with a different design and a smaller gauge needle than the commercial inserter to be used by Alimera for ILUVIEN for DME in the EU. The FDA will permit us to reference much of the data, including clinical safety data, from the ILUVIEN NDA for DME. Because this micro-insert delivers the same drug as our approved Retisert product for posterior uveitis, we expect these trials will show efficacy. Further, as the same micro-insert was used in the ILUVIEN trials, we expect to observe a comparable side-effect profile in posterior uveitis patients as was seen in DME patients. As a result, we are optimistic that this micro-insert will be efficacious for posterior uveitis with a favorable risk/benefit profile and fewer side effects compared to Retisert.
An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-ranging study of the safety and efficacy of this micro-insert for the treatment of posterior uveitis is ongoing. To date, three out of a projected six patients have been enrolled in this study.
Glaucoma Latanoprost Product Candidate.Candidate
In connection with our June 2011 amended Pfizer collaboration, we are developing an injectable, bioerodible drug delivery micro-insert for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The Latanoprost Product is designed to provide long-term, sustained delivery of latanoprost, currently the most commonly prescribed agent for the reduction of IOPintraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma worldwide. This product candidate is based on a fourth generation of our Durasert technology system.system, and is also anticipated to utilize our BioSilicon technology. The micro-insert is designed to be injected under the conjunctiva into the sclera by an eye care professional in a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure. This product is subject to an option by Pfizer described below under “Strategic Collaborations—Pfizer”.
This Durasert implant is being evaluated in an investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalating study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the implant in patients with elevated IOP. We are currently developing a prototype of this implant that contains BioSilicon to assist in the delivery of latanoprost. A pre-clinical study is ongoing to evaluate the new prototype design. If successful, we plan to advance the new prototype into a multi-center Phase II trial.
BioSilicon Technology System
Our BioSilicon technology system utilizes a fully-erodible, “honeycomb” structure of nano-porous, elemental silicon to provide sustained delivery of therapeutics. BioSilicon is biocompatible and biodegradable. Our primary focus is on Tethadur,Tethadur™, an application of our BioSilicon technology designed to provide sustained delivery of large biologic molecules, including peptides, proteins and proteins.antibodies. In this application, the sizes of the pores in the BioSilicon material are manufactured using nanotechnology to accommodate specific protein, peptide or antibody molecules, which are then released on a sustained basis over time as the material bioerodes.time. Our BioSilicon technology can also be designed to deliver smaller molecules. Based on results of our preliminary studies, we are currently targeting the BioSilicon technology as a key second prong of our drug delivery technology platform.
Evaluation Agreements
We have evaluation agreements with various companies to evaluate our Durasert and BioSilicon technology systems for the treatment of various ophthalmic and other diseases. In addition, Hospital for Special Surgery is evaluating our Durasert technology for the treatment of orthopedic diseases.
Strategic Collaborations
We have entered into a number of collaboration/license agreements to develop and commercialize our product candidates and technologies. In all of our collaboration agreements, we retain the right to use and develop the underlying technologies outside of the scope of the exclusive licenses granted.
Alimera
In a February 2005 collaboration agreement, we granted Alimera an exclusive worldwide license to manufacture, develop, market and sell ILUVIEN for the treatment and prevention of human eye diseases in humans other than uveitis. We also granted Alimera a worldwide non-exclusive license to manufacture, develop, market and sell certain additional Durasert-based products (1) to deliver a corticosteroid and no other active ingredient by a direct delivery method to the back of the eye solely for the treatment and prevention of eye diseases in humans other than uveitis or (2) to treat DME in humans by delivering a compound by a direct delivery method through an incision no smaller than that required for a 25-gauge or larger needle, in each case solely for the treatment and prevention of eye diseases in humans other than uveitis.needle. The non-exclusive license is limited to those products that amongst other things (i) are not an implant required to be surgically inserted through an incision of at least 2 mm in the scelera into the vitreous, are secured in the posterior of the eye, cannot be injected, and use a certain reservoir design, (ii) have a drug core within a polymer layer (with certain limitations regarding chemically bonded combinations of active agents), and (iii)(ii) are approved, or designed to be approved, to deliver a corticosteroid and no other active ingredient by a direct delivery method to the posterior portion of the eye, or to treat DME by delivering a compound by a direct delivery method through an incision required for a 25-gauge or larger needle. With the exception of licenses earlier granted to Bausch & Lomb, during the term of the collaboration agreement, weWe are not permitted to use, or grant a license to any third party to use, the licensed technologies to make or sell any products that are or would be (but for delivering a corticosteroid in combination with another active ingredient) subject to the non-exclusive license granted to Alimera.
Under the collaboration agreement, we and Alimera agreed to collaborate on the development of ILUVIEN for DME and to share the development expenses equally. In connection with Following a March 2008 amendment, Alimera assumed financial responsibility for the development of the collaboration agreement, we received $12.0 million in cashlicensed products and a $15.0 million conditional note (paid in full in April 2010), and regulatory submissions, which had previously been shared.
Alimera cancelled $5.7 million of accrued development costs, penalties and accrued interest that we owed Alimera at that date. In addition, Alimerahas agreed to pay us a $25.0 million milestone payment upon the first product to be approved by the FDA under the collaboration agreement and assumed all financial responsibility for the development20% of licensed products (including reimbursement of approved development costs incurred by us in support of the ongoing clinical studies of ILUVIEN) and regulatory submissions. In exchange, we decreased our share in any net profits, as defined, on sales of ILUVIEN by Alimera on a country-by-country
basis, from 50% to 20%, subject to an offset of 20% of net losses, as defined, previously incurred by Alimera
on a country-by-country basis. If Alimera sublicenses commercialization, we are entitled to receive 20% of royalties and 33% of non-royalty consideration received by Alimera, less certain permitted deductions.
Either party may terminate the collaboration agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach under various conditions and upon various bankruptcy events. We may terminate the collaboration agreement with respect to a particular product if Alimera notifies us that it is abandoning or has abandoned such product, in which case the agreement provides for specific, exclusive remedies.
Pfizer
In April 2007, we entered into an exclusive worldwide Collaborative Research and License Agreement (the Original Pfizer Agreement) with Pfizer for the use of certain of our technologies in ophthalmic applications that were not licensed to others. Under this agreement, we engaged in a joint research program, and Pfizer had an exclusive license to market any products developed under the agreement.
In June 2011, we entered into an Amended and Restated Collaborative Research and License Agreement (the Restated Pfizer Agreement) to focus solely on the development of a sustained release bioerodible implant designed to deliver latanoprost by subconjunctival injection. Under the Restated Pfizer Agreement, we granted Pfizer an exclusive option, under various circumstances, to a license to developthe development and commercialize worldwidecommercialization of the Latanoprost Product worldwide for human ophthalmic disease or conditions other than uveitis. We areIf Pfizer were to exercise such option, we would be eligible to receive future consideration of up to $166.5 million plus royalties,royalties. In addition, we regained all rights to our intellectual property in ophthalmic applications previously included in the Original Pfizer Agreement other than pursuant to the Restated Pfizer Agreement and we have rights to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product if Pfizer does not exercise its option.
Under the Restated Pfizer Agreement, Pfizer paid us $2.3 million in cash as an upfront payment, and we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop the Latanoprost Product at our expense, and with technical assistance from Pfizer, for at least one year and thereafter, at our option, through completion of Phase II clinical trials, as defined. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalation study is ongoing to assess the safety and efficacy of this insert. Upon completion of Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer has the option to acquire, upon payment of $20 million, an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product for ophthalmic disease in humans other than uveitis. If Pfizer exercises its option, it must use commercially reasonable efforts at its expense to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product, and we are eligible to receive development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments that could total up to $146.5 million and double-digit royalties based on net sales of the Latanoprost Product. If Pfizer does not exercise this option, we will have the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product on our own or with a partner, with rights to Pfizer intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product. If we elect to cease development of the Latanoprost Product prior to completion of Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer also has an option to acquire, upon payment of a lesser option fee, an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product for ophthalmic disease in humans other than uveitis at its expense. In this case, Pfizer must also use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product, and we are eligible to receive lesser development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and a lower royalty on net sales of the Latanoprost Product. If Pfizer does not exercise this option, we will have the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product on our own or with a partner, with rights to Pfizer intellectual property necessary to develop and commercialize the Latanaprost Product, following a one-year cessation of development activities.
Either Pfizer or we may terminate the Restated Pfizer Agreement for various reasons, including in the event of a material breach of this agreement that is not cured within the applicable cure period or if the other party enters into bankruptcy or similar proceedings. Pfizer may terminate this agreement at its sole discretion on 60 days’ notice. In the event Pfizer so terminates, in its discretion on 60 days’ notice or if we terminate for Pfizer’s material breach, we have the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product.
The Restated Pfizer Agreement replaces all of the rights and obligations under the Original Pfizer Agreement, except for confidentiality and indemnification provisions.provisions.

Bausch & Lomb
Retisert was developed and commercialized underUnder a 2003 amended licensing agreement, with Bausch & Lomb, and Vitrasert was developed and commercialized under a 1992 agreement with Chiron Vision, which was subsequently acquired by Bausch & Lomb.
Bausch & Lomb has a worldwide exclusive license to make and sell Vitrasert and our first-generation products (as(which, as defined in the agreement, including the Retisert device)includes Retisert) as well as Vitrasert in return for royalties based on sales. We agreed with Bausch & Lomb not to develop, license or commercialize a product designed to receive regulatory approval to treat uveitis, but only for so long as Bausch & Lomb is actively commercializing a product the net sales of which bear the base royalty payable to us that is not subject to any royalty reduction or offset and Bausch & Lomb has not developed or commercialized a uveitis product that does not bear such royalties. Bausch & Lomb can terminate its agreement with us without penalty at any time upon 90 days’ written notice.
Intrinsiq
In January 2008, we granted an exclusive field-of-use license to Intrinsiq Materials Cayman Limited (Intrinsiq) for the development and commercialization of nutraceutical and food science applications of BioSilicon, under which we received aggregate license fee and minimum royalty payments of $1.7 million through June 2011. In February 2009, we entered into a 2-year supply agreement with Intrinsiq under which we leased certain equipment to Intrinsiq for their useused in manufacturing BioSilicon material for total payments of $122,000. In July 2011, Intrinsiq terminated its field-of-use license agreement, we purchased the BioSilicon-related capital equipment and intellectual property assets of Intrinsiq for $223,000 and assumed four Intrinsiq employees. In connection with this asset purchase
Enigma Therapeutics
Under a December 2012 license agreement, Intrinsiq terminatedamended and restated in March 2013, Enigma Therapeutics Limited (Enigma) acquired an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license for the development of BrachySil, a BioSilicon product candidate for the treatment of pancreatic and other types of cancer.

Enigma is obligated to pay an annual license maintenance fee of $100,000, creditable during each ensuing twelve month period against reimbursable patent maintenance costs and sales-based royalties. Enigma has the right to terminate its field-of-use license agreement.upon 60 days prior written notice.
Research and Development
Our clinical and pre-clinical research programs primarily consist of ophthalmic applications of our technology systems. Our research and development expenses weretotaled $7.0 million in the year ended June 30,fiscal 2013, $7.0 million in fiscal 2012 (fiscal 2012),and $6.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2011 (fiscal 2011) and $7.0fiscal 2011. Of these amounts, $5.4 million in the year ended June 30, 2010 (fiscal 2010). Of these amounts,fiscal 2013, $4.2 million in fiscal 2012 and $3.2 million in fiscal 2011 and $3.4 million in fiscal 2010 were incurred for costs of research and development personnel, clinical and pre-clinical studies, contract services, testing and laboratory facilities. Fiscal 2011 costs were reduced by a one-time IRS grant award of $208,000. All such costs were charged to operations as incurred. The remaining expense of $1.6 million in fiscal 2013, $2.8 million in fiscal 2012 and $3.7 million in fiscal 2011 and $3.6 million in fiscal 2010 consisted of non-cash charges for amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and stock-based compensation expense specifically allocated to research and development personnel. In addition, during fiscal 2012 we recorded a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment write-down, which is classified as a separate category of operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statementstatements of operations.comprehensive loss.

Employees
We had 2925 employees as of August 31, 2012.2013. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Sales and Marketing
We have no marketing or sales staff. We currently depend on collaborative partners to market our products. Significant additional expenditures would be required for us to develop an independent sales and marketing organization.
Reimbursement
The successful commercialization of our current products depends, and of any future products will depend, in significant part on the extent to which reimbursement of the cost of the products and the related administration procedures is and will be available from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Medicaid and Medicare, most major health maintenance organizations, and most health insurance carriers reimburse $4,240 for the costtiming of those reimbursements, is important to the Vitrasert implant, with associated surgical fees reimbursed separately.successful commercialization of those products. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services designated Retisert as eligible for Medicare reimbursement at the rate of $19,345, with associated surgical fees reimbursed separately. Alimera reported that it is pursuinghas been engaged in regulatory proceedings and negotiations with respect to pricing and reimbursement discussionsof ILUVIEN for DME in certainvarious EU countries for whichwhere it has or expects to receive marketing authorization of ILUVIEN has been received.authorizations.
Competition
The market for products treating back-of-the-eye diseases is highly competitive and is characterized by extensive research efforts and rapid technological progress. We face substantial competition for our products and product candidates. Pharmaceutical, drug delivery and biotechnology companies, as well as research organizations, governmental entities, universities, hospitals, other nonprofit organizations and individual scientists, have developed and are seeking to develop drugs, therapies and novel delivery methods to treat our targeted diseases. Most of our competitors and potential competitors are larger, better established and more experienced and have substantially more resources than us or Alimera.our partners. Competitors may reach the market earlier than us or Alimera,our partners, may have obtained or could obtain patent protection that dominates or adversely affects our products and potential products, and may offer products with greater efficacy, lesser side effects and/or other competitive advantages. We believe that competition for treatments of back-of-the-eye diseases is based upon the effectiveness of the treatment, side effects, time to market, reimbursement and price, reliability, availability, patent position, and other factors.
Many companies have or are pursuing products to treat back-of-the-eye diseases whichthat are or would be competitive with our products and product candidates. Some of these include the following:
• | DME, AMD, RVO, etc.Genentech Inc.’s products Lucentis |
• | Posterior Uveitis.Periocular steroid injections and systemic delivery of corticosteroids are used to treat posterior uveitis. Allergan, Inc.’s product Ozurdex |

Government Regulation
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and Comparable Foreign Laws.The FDA and comparable regulatory agencies in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical and radiological products. These agencies regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, labeling, storage, record-keeping, approval, distribution, advertising and promotion of our drug delivery products. The process required by the FDA under the new drug provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act before our products may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:
pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests;
submission to the FDA of an IND,Investigational New Drug (IND) application, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;
adequate and well-controlled studies to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed pharmaceutical for its intended use;
submission to the FDA of an NDA to obtain marketing approval; and
FDA review and approval of the NDA.
The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and varies substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product. We cannot be certain that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.
Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product, its chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. The results of the pre-clinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data and protocols for proposed human clinical trials, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND, which must become effective before the IND sponsor may begin human clinical trials. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period, raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND, and imposes a clinical hold. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before clinical trials can begin. There is no certainty that pre-clinical trials will result in the submission of an IND, or that submission of an IND will result in FDA authorization to commence clinical trials.
Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational product to human subjects under the supervision of qualified investigators. Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor safety and any efficacy criteria to be evaluated.
Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Further, each clinical study must be conducted under the auspices of an independent institutional review board (IRB) at the institution where the study will be conducted. The IRB will consider, among other things, ethical factors, safety of human subjects and possible liability of the institution. Some clinical trials, called “investigator-sponsored” clinical trials, are conducted by third-party investigators responsible for the regulatory obligations associated with sponsorship of a clinical trial. The results of these trials may be used as supporting data by a company in its application for FDA approval, provided that the company has contractual rights to use the results.
Human clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases which may overlap:
• | Phase I: The drug is initially introduced into healthy human subjects and tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion. |
• | Phase II: Studies are conducted in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to determine the efficacy of the product for specific targeted diseases and to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage. |
• | Phase III: |
In the case of products for life-threatening diseases such as cancer, or severe conditions such as blinding eye disease, or for products that require invasive delivery, initial human testing is often conducted in patients with the disease rather than in healthy volunteers. Since these patients already have the targeted disease or condition, these studies may provide initial evidence of efficacy traditionally obtained in Phase II trials, and so these trials are frequently referred to as Phase I/II or IIa trials.
We cannot be certain that we or our collaborative partners will successfully complete Phase I, Phase II or Phase III testing of our product candidates within any specific time period, if at all. Furthermore, we, our collaborative partners, the FDA, the IRB, foreign regulatory authorities or the sponsor, if any, may suspend clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.
Once an approval is granted, the FDA may withdraw the approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of post-market studies or clinical trials to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution or other restrictions under a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. Other potential consequences include, among other things:
restrictions on the marketing or manufacturing of the product, product recalls, or complete withdrawal of the product from the market;
fines, warning letters or holds on post-approval clinical trials;
refusal of the FDA to approve pending NDAs or supplements to approved NDAs, or suspension or revocation of product license approvals;
product seizure or detention, or refusal to permit the import or export of products; or
injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.
The FDA strictly regulates marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of products that are placed on the market. Drugs may be promoted only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability.
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) is designed to provide the public with more easily accessible information about the safety and efficacy of marketed drugs and the FDA with increased authority to ensure drug safety. The FDAAA requires that we register each controlled clinical trial, aside from a Phase I trial, on a website (www.ClinicalTrials.gov) administered by National Institutes of Health (NIH), including descriptive information (e.g., a summary in lay terms of the study design, type and desired outcome), recruitment information (e.g., target number of participants and whether healthy volunteers are accepted), location and contact information and administrative data (e.g., FDA identification numbers). Within one year of a trial’s completion, information about the trial, including characteristics of the patient sample, primary and secondary outcomes, trial results written in lay and technical terms and the full trial protocol must be submitted to the website, unless the drug has not yet been approved. In that case the information is posted shortly after product approval has been obtained. The FDA requires certification of compliance with all relevant FDAAA clinical trials reporting requirements during product development.
The results of product development, pre-clinical studies and clinical studies are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA for approval of the marketing and commercial shipment of the product. The FDA may deny an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, or may require additional clinical data. Even if the additional data are submitted, the FDA ultimately may decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require a sponsor to conduct additional clinical trials to confirm that the drug is safe and effective for its intended uses.
Satisfaction of FDA requirements or similar requirements of foreign regulatory agencies typically takes several years or more, and varies substantially. Regulatory authorities may delay marketing of potential products for a considerable period of time or prevent it entirely, and may require costly procedures in order to obtain regulatory approval. The time and expense required to obtain FDA or foreign regulatory clearance or approval for regulated products can frequently exceed the time and expense of the research and development initially required to create the product. Success in pre-clinical or early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinical trials. Data from pre-clinical and clinical activities may not be conclusive, and may be susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay or prevent regulatory approval. Even if a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be subject to significant limitations based on data from pre-clinical and clinical activities. After initial FDA or foreign regulatory approval has been obtained, we or our collaborative partners could be required to conduct further studies to provide additional data on safety or efficacy or, should we desire, to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for additional clinical indications. The FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may also require surveillance programs to monitor approved products which have been commercialized and may require changes in labeling.
Once issued, the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may withdraw product approval for non-compliance with regulatory requirements or if safety or efficacy problems occur or are demonstrated in subsequent studies after the product reaches the market. Any product manufactured or distributed under FDA or foreign regulatory approval is subject to pervasive and continuing regulation. All manufacturers must comply with regulations related to requirements for record-keeping and reporting adverse experiences with the product, and the FDA may also require surveillance programs to monitor approved products that have been commercialized. The FDA has the power to require changes in product labeling or to prevent further marketing of a product based on the results of these post-marketing programs. Even after initial FDA or other foreign regulatory approval has been obtained, we or our collaborative partners could be required to conduct further studies to provide additional data on safety or efficacy or, should we desire, to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for additional clinical indications. In addition, use of a product during testing and after marketing approval has been obtained could reveal side effects which, if serious, could limit uses, or in the most serious cases, result in a market withdrawal of the product or expose us to product liability claims. For certain drugs that the FDA determines pose risks that outweigh the benefits, FDA approval may be subject to the manufacturers’ continued adherence to a Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategy (REMS).REMS program. REMS, which are tailored to specifically address the risks of a given drug, may contain elements that restrict distribution of the drug to certain physicians, pharmacists and patients, or that require the use of communication tools such as letters to healthcare providers and patients detailing the risks associated with the drug. Foreign regulatory authorities also regulate post-approval activities.
Commercial drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register with the FDA and state agencies. Drug manufacturers and their subcontractors are also subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and state agencies for compliance with good manufacturing practices (cGMP), which impose procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our third-party manufacturers.
Healthcare Law and Regulation.Healthcare providers, physicians and third-party payors play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of drug products that are granted marketing approval. Arrangements with third-party payors and customers are subject to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries and jurisdictions. Such restrictions under applicable U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations include the following:
the federal healthcare Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under a federal healthcare program such as Medicare and Medicaid;
the federal False Claims Act imposes civil penalties, and provides for civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals or entities for knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government claims for payment that are false or fraudulent or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government;
the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, imposes criminal and civil liability for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to healthcare matters;
HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and its implementing regulations, also imposes obligations, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information;
the federal false statements statute prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services; and
the federal transparency requirements under the Health Care Reform Law will require manufacturers of drugs, devices, drugs and medical supplies to report to the Department of Health and Human Services information related to payments and other transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals and physician ownership and investment interests.
Analogous state and foreign laws and regulations, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws, may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payors, including private insurers.
Some state laws require pharmaceutical companies to comply with the pharmaceutical industry’s voluntary compliance guidelines and the relevant compliance guidance promulgated by the U.S. federal government in addition to requiring drug manufacturers to report information related to payments to physicians and other health care providers or marketing expenditures. State and foreign laws also govern the privacy and security of health information in some circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.
Other Laws.We are also subject to numerous other federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations now or in the future. In addition, we cannot predict what adverse governmental regulations may arise from future U.S. or foreign governmental action.
Foreign Laws.We and our collaborative partners are also subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products sold in their countries. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely by country. Whether or not FDA approval is obtained, we or our collaborative partners must obtain approval of a product by the comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries before manufacturing or marketing the product in those countries. The approval process varies from country to country, and the time required for these approvals may differ substantially from that required for FDA approval. There is no assurance that clinical trials conducted in one country will be accepted by other countries, or that approval in one country will result in approval in any other country. For clinical trials conducted outside the U.S., the clinical stages generally are comparable to the phases of clinical development established by the FDA.
Even after initial FDA or other foreign regulatory approval has been obtained, we or our collaborative partners could be required to conduct further studies to provide additional data on safety or efficacy or, should
we desire, to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for additional clinical indications. In addition, use of a product during testing and after marketing approval has been obtained could reveal side effects which, if serious, could limit uses, or in the most serious cases, result in a market withdrawal of the product or expose us to product liability claims.

Information with respect to ILUVIEN for DME has been derived from public disclosures by Alimera.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS
We have a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
With the exception of net income in fiscal 2010 resulting from a non-recurring event, we have incurred operating losses since our inception in 2000, and our fiscal 2010 net income resulted from a one-time event.2000. We do not currently have any assured sources of revenues. WeAlthough Alimera launched ILUVIEN commercially in the U.K. and Germany in the second quarter of 2013 and announced its intention to launch in France in the first quarter of 2014, we do not know the timing and extent of any revenues we may receive from ILUVIEN for DME. Although ILUVIEN has been approved in five EU countries for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies, we do not know when Alimera will receive marketing authorization in two remaining EU countries or complete pricing and reimbursement discussions, whether those pricing and reimbursement discussions will be satisfactory, whether Alimera will be successful in directly commercializing ILUVIEN for DME, and if and when, and to what extent, we will earn revenues from the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU. Unless and until Alimera receives FDA approval of ILUVIEN for DME, we will not be entitled to receive the $25.0 million milestone payment that would be due on such an approval, and Alimera will not be able to sell, nor will we earn any revenues from sales of, ILUVIEN for DME by Alimera in the U.S. We will not receive any funding under our Restated Pfizer Agreement only ifunless Pfizer exercises its option with respect to the Latanoprost Product, which becomes exercisable only if we complete Phase II clinical trials, which have not yet not been initiated, or if we cease development of the Latanoprost Product prior to completion of those trials. There is no assurance that Pfizer will exercise its option. Our Retisert royalty income from Bausch & Lomb is not expected to increase to a level sufficient to sustain our operations and may decline. Further, we expect to significantly increase our research and development expense as a result of our independent development of Medidur for posterior uveitis. Our ability to achieve profitability willis expected to depend, among other things, upon Alimera’s ability to achieve FDA approval of and to successfully commercialize ILUVIEN for DME and our or any other licensees’ ability to achieve regulatory approval and sufficient revenues from commercialization of one or more of our product candidates.products.
We expect to need additional capital resources to fund our operations, and our ability to obtain them is uncertain.
We expect to continue to generate negative cash flows from operations unless and until ILUVIEN for DME achieves sufficient revenues from commercialization or one or more of our product candidates achieves regulatory approval and sufficient revenues from commercialization. During the past three fiscal years, we have financed our operations primarily from the proceeds of offerings of our common stock and warrants and consideration received from our collaborative partners, including license fees and research and development funding and contingent note payments, and from the proceeds of offerings of our common stock and warrants.funding. We currently have no committed funding from collaborative partners. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $14.6$10.3 million at June 30, 20122013 together with the $4.7$9.9 million of net proceeds of an August 2012from our July 2013 underwritten public offering of common stock, and warrants and expected Retisert royalty income from Bausch & Lomb shouldand other expected cash inflows under existing collaboration and technology evaluation agreements, will enable us to maintainfund our current and planned operations through calendar year 2013.2014. This includes expected costs through that date of Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis, but does not include any potential milestone or net profits receipts under the Alimera collaboration agreement. Our capital resources would be enhanced if Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and if ILUVIEN for DME were approved and successfully commercialized in the U.S., although even so, the amount and timing of our receipt of any revenues from such activitiesreceipts is uncertain. Accordingly, we expect to need additional resources to completefund our planned Phase III trials of Medidur for our posterior uveitis micro-insert and to fund ourother research and development and operations. Our need for additional capital resources will be influenced by the following factors, among others:
whether, when and to what extent we receive revenues from Alimera with respect to ILUVIEN for DME, including from commercialization in the EU or upon any approval or commercialization in the U.S.;
the timing and cost of development of Medidur for posterior uveitis;
whether and when we are able to enter into strategic arrangementsinitiate and complete Phase II clinical trials for our product candidatesthe Latanoprost Product and the nature of those arrangements;Pfizer exercises its option;
whether and the extent to which we internally fund, when we initiate, and how we conduct product development and programs, including clinical trials for the posterior uveitis micro-insertwith respect to our BioSilicon and the Latanoprost Product and ongoing research and development of BioSilicon technology applications;Tethadur technology;
whether and when Pfizer exercises its option with respectwe are able to enter into strategic arrangements for products and the Latanoprost Product;nature of those arrangements;
timely and successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our products and product candidates;
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing any patent claims; and
changes in our operating plan, resulting in increases or decreases in our need for capital.
We may seek additional capital resources through possible sales of equity or debt securities or new collaborative or licensing agreements and/or possible other agreements and transactions (which may include sales of assets or securities).transactions. Many factors relating to our company, such as the 2011 CRL and the status of FDA approval with respect toof ILUVIEN for DME, the status of commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU, and the status of development of our product candidates, as well as the state of the economy and the financial and credit markets, may make our ability to secure additional capital resources more difficult to obtain or result in less favorable terms. If available, funding through collaboration, licensing or other agreements may be on unfavorable terms, including requiring us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and potential dilutive equity. If adequate financing is not available if and when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate research or development programs, postpone or cancel the pursuit of product candidates, including pre-clinical and clinical trials and new business opportunities, reduce staff and operating costs or otherwise significantly curtail our operations to reduce our cash requirements and extend our capital.
If the recorded value of our intangible assets under GAAP is further impaired, our financial results could be materially adversely affected, which could adversely affect the price of our securities.affected.
We recorded significant amounts of intangible assets in connection with earlier acquisitions. We took impairment charges of $3.1 million with respect to the value of our Durasert intangible asset and $11.7 million with respect to the value of our BioSilicon intangible asset as of December 31, 2011. We have $4.2had $3.4 million of intangible assets on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2012,2013, of which $2.9$2.4 million relatesrelated to our Durasert technology and $1.3$1.0 million relatesrelated to our BioSilicon technology. We will continue to conduct impairment analyses of our intangible assets as required, and we would be required to take additional impairment charges in the future if any recoverability assessments of those assets reflect fair market values whichthat are less than our recorded values, and such charges could be significant. The carrying values of our Durasert and BioSilicon technology systems could be impaired if there is a future triggering event, including, without limitation, adverse events with respect to the timing and status of clinical development, regulatory approval and success of commercialization of products using those technologies, and significant changes in our market capitalization. Further impairment charges on our intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, which could, in turn, adversely affect the price of our securities.operations.
Our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period.
Our operating results have fluctuated significantly from period to period in the past and may continue to do so in the future due to many factors, including:
timing, receipt, amount and revenue recognition of payments, if any, from collaboration partners, including, without limitation, collaborative research and development, milestone, royalty, net profit and other payments;
execution, amendment and termination of collaboration agreements;
scope, duration and success of collaboration agreements;
amount of internally funded research and development costs, including pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;
general and industry-specific adverse economic conditions that may affect, among other things, our and our collaborators’ operations and financial results; and
changes in accounting estimates, policies or principles and intangible asset impairments.
Due to fluctuations in our operating results, quarterly comparisons of our financial results may not necessarily be meaningful, and investors should not rely upon such results as an indication of future performance. In addition, investors may react adversely if our reported operating results are less favorable than in a prior period or are less favorable than those anticipated by investors in the financial community, which may result in further decreases in our stock price.
Our royalty income from Bausch & Lomb may decline.
Our royaltiesWe do not expect that our Retisert royalty income from Bausch & Lomb for Retisertwill grow materially, if at all, and Vitrasertit may decline. There is no assurance that Bausch & Lomb will continue to market either or both of these products. We do not expect that our royalty income fromRetisert, which received marketing approval in 2005. Bausch & Lomb for these products will ever become a material source of revenue for us.no longer markets Vitrasert.
RISKS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF OUR PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT CANDIDATES
WithoutIf the FDA regulatory approval fordoes not approve ILUVIEN for DME, Alimera will be unable to commercialize the product in the U.S., and we will not receive payments to which we would be entitled upon such approval and from successful commercialization, which could materially impair our financial prospects.
Alimera received a 2010 CRL from the FDA with respect to its NDA for ILUVIEN for DME which included 24 month data from the FAME Study, and received the 2011 CRL in response to its first resubmission of the resubmitted NDA, which responded toNDA. In both the 2010 CRL and included 36 month data. In the 2011 CRL,CRLs, the FDA stated that it was unable to approve the then current NDA. Although Alimera resubmitted the NDA because it did not provide sufficient dataa second time and received a new PDUFA goal date of October 17, 2013, there is no assurance that Alimera’s resubmission will demonstrate to support that ILUVIEN is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with DME,FDA that the benefits of ILUVIEN for DME outweigh its risks, of adverse reactions shown for ILUVIEN in the FAME Study were significant and were not offset by the benefits demonstrated by ILUVIEN in these clinical trials and that Alimera will need to conduct two additional clinical trials to demonstratewill not be required, that the product is safe and effective for the proposed indication. Based on a recent meeting with the FDA, Alimera has indicated its intention to resubmit its NDA for ILUVIEN for DME to the FDA in early 2013 using data from the FAME Study and to focus on the populationsubgroup of patients with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies the same indication for which regulatory approval has been granted in various EU countries. There is no assurance when or if Alimera will resubmit its application or that Alimera will be able to demonstrate to the FDA that the benefits outweigh the risks of ILUVIEN for DME using data from the FAME Study, that additional clinical trials will not be required, that the population of chronic DME patients will be acceptable to the FDA or that Alimera will be able to obtain regulatory approval for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. Accordingly, ILUVIEN for DME may never be approved and marketed in the U.S., in which case we would not receive the milestone payment to which we would be entitled on FDA approval or any revenues from commercialization, which would be materially adverse to our business. Further, we do not know whether Alimera will continue to seek to develop, or receive approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies for, ILUVIEN for the treatment of other eye conditions currently being studied under Alimera’s agreement with us.
Sales of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU may be materially adversely affected by pricing and reimbursement decisions of regulatory bodies, insurers and others.
Prices, coverage and reimbursement in EU countries are regulated, with prices generally lower and access to drugs more limited than in the U.S., which could continue to affect the amount of revenues from the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU. Alimera has been engaged in regulatory proceedings and negotiations with respect to pricing and reimbursement. There is no assurance as to what level of governmental pricing and reimbursement will be permitted, particularly in light of the ongoing budget crises faced by a number of countries in the EU. For example, there is no assurance that the patient population in the U.K. will expand beyond privately insured and private pay patients or what the level of permitted reimbursement will be. There can be no assurance that NICE will accept the recommendation of the Appraisal Committee and amend its final guidance to provide ILUVIEN for the treatment of pseudophakic patients or that such patients will be reimbursed by the National Health Service. Similarly, there is no assurance that Alimera will achieve satisfactory agreements with statutory insurers in Germany to avoid individual reimbursement submissions. Alimera has reported its belief that sales of ILUVIEN for DME in Germany and the U.K. have been adversely affected, and future sales in
those and other EU countries may be adversely affected, by pricing and reimbursement decisions, and such affects may be material.
We do not know if and when we will receive revenues from any commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and the extent of those revenues.
There is no assurance if and when, and to what extent, we will receive revenues from the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU. To date,Although Alimera has received marketing authorization from Austria, France, Germany, Portugal and the U.K., but still must obtain separate national licenses in Italy and Spain, and there is no assurance that Alimera will receive those licenses, what the terms of the licenses will be and whether their issuances will be delayed beyond Alimera’s expectations, which could delay Alimera’s commercialization of
commercially launched ILUVIEN for DME in Italy and Spain. There is no assurance as to what level of governmental pricing and reimbursement will be permitted, particularly in light of the ongoing budget crises faced by a number of countries in the EU. NICE, for example, has issued draft guidance that ILUVIEN is not recommended for the treatment of chronic DME in the U.K. Prices of drugsand Germany during the quarter ended June 2013, there were limited sales in the EU are regulated and are generally lower than those in the United States, which could affect the amount of any revenues from the commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU.that quarter. Alimera has announced its intention to proceed with the direct commercialization of ILUVIENlaunch in Germany, the U.K. and France in 2013 and alsothe first quarter of 2014, but has not announced thatcommercialization plans for the other EU countries where it has arranged $40 million in equity financing, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, to provide capital to launch ILUVIEN in the EU. There is no assurance that Alimera will consummate that financing.marketing approval. Alimera has no prior experience in commercializing products. There is no assurance that Alimera will be able to build and manage a successful commercial operation in the EU or that it will have sufficient capital to do so. Further, because we are entitled to a net profit participation on sales of ILUVIEN ifwherever Alimera markets ILUVIEN directly and a percentage of royalties and non-royalty consideration ifwherever Alimera sublicenses the marketing of ILUVIEN, the amount and timing of any revenues we receive will be affected by the manner in which Alimera determines to market ILUVIEN in other countries. Although Alimera has reported that it intends to seek marketing approval of ILUVIEN for DME in additional EU countries, there is no assurance that Alimera will apply for or obtain any such additional approvals. Further, we cannot project what the demand will be for ILUVIEN for DME if marketed in the EU.EU countries where ILUVIEN is marketed.
Both ILUVIEN and our micro-insertMedidur for posterior uveitis deliver FAc, a corticosteroid that has demonstrated undesirable side effects in the eye, which may affect the approvability and success of these micro-inserts for DME, posterior uveitis and other eye diseases.
Both ILUVIEN and our micro-insertMedidur for posterior uveitis of the same design deliver the non-proprietary corticosteroid FAc, which is associated with undesirable side effects in the eye, such as cataract formation and elevated intraocular pressure, which may increase the risk of glaucoma and related surgery to manage those side effects. In the 2011 CRL, the FDA stated that the risks of adverse reactions shown for ILUVIEN for DME in the FAME Study were significant and were not offset by the benefits demonstrated by ILUVIEN for DME in those clinical trials. To date, Austria, France, Germany, Portugal and the U.K. have granted marketing authorization to ILUVIEN for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies, but there is no assurance that ILUVIEN for DME will receive marketing authorization from the Italian and Spanish or any other regulators. These side effects may affect the approvability of ILUVIEN for DME and the other eye conditions for which it is being studied, and even if approved, these side effects may adversely affect the successful marketing of ILUVIEN.studied. Although our approvedFDA-approved Retisert product for posterior uveitis and our product candidate for the same conditionMedidur both deliver FAc to treat posterior uveitis, there is no assurance that our micro-insert of the same design as ILUVIEN for the treatment of posterior uveitisMedidur will be able to demonstrate that it is safe and efficacious for the treatment of posterior uveitis in light of its expected side effects from FAc. Even if these product candidates are approved, these side effects may adversely affect their successful marketing.
There is no assurance that Pfizer will exercise its option with respect to the Latanoprost Product or that we will receive any further financial consideration under the Restated Pfizer Agreement.
In June 2011, we amended our Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer to focus solely on the development of the Latanoprost Product. Development of this product through Phase II clinical trials is at our own expense. Pfizer has an option for an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product upon our completion of Phase II clinical trials or if we cease development of the Latanoprost Product prior to completion of those trials. There is no assurance that we will commence or complete the Phase II clinical trials for the Latanoprost Product,Product; that if completed, the trials will be successful,successful; that Pfizer will, in any event, exercise its option oroption; that if exercised, that Pfizer will commence Phase III clinical trialstrials; or that the Latanoprost Product will achieve successful Phase III trial results, regulatory approvals or commercial success. As a result, there is no assurance that we will receive any further licensing, milestone or royalty payments under the Restated Pfizer Agreement.
If we or our licensees are unable to or do not complete clinical trials for our product candidates or do not receive the necessary regulatory approvals, we or our licensees will be unable to commercialize our product candidates.
Our current and future activities are and will be subject to stringent regulation by governmental authorities both in the U.S. and other countries in which our products are marketed. Before we or our licensees can manufacture, market and sell any of our product candidates, approval from the FDA and/or foreign regulatory authorities is required to market in the applicable jurisdictions. Generally, in order to obtain these approvals, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials must demonstrate that a product candidate is safe for human use and effective for its targeted disease or condition.
Other than ILUVIEN for DME nonehas completed pivotal clinical trials, which were conducted pursuant to our Alimera collaboration agreement, and Medidur for posterior uveitis has commenced the first of two pivotal Phase III clinical trials. All of our other product candidates has completed ordevelopment is in pivotal clinical trials.at earlier stages. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II study of the Latanoprost Product is ongoing, but we have not commenced Phase II clinical trials;trials, and BioSilicon and Tethadur product candidates are all in the FDA has cleared our IND to treat posterior uveitis with our injectable sustained-release micro-insert and we are now permitted to move directly to two Phase III trials to treat patients with posterior uveitis, but we have not commenced pivotal trials; and we have no ongoing pre-clinical or clinical studies with respect to BioSilicon product candidates.stage. Product development at all stages involves a high degree of risk, and only a small proportion of research and development programs result in product candidates that advance to pivotal clinical trials or to approved products. There is no assurance that evaluation agreements we have with third parties will result in any product candidates or licenses, or that we or our licensees will commence or continue clinical trials for any of our product candidates. If clinical trials conducted by or for us or our licensees for any of our product candidates do not provide the necessary evidence of safety and efficacy, those product candidates cannot be manufactured and sold, and will not generate revenues. Initial or subsequent clinical trials may not be initiated by or for us or our licensees for product candidates or may be delayed or fail due to many factors, including the following:
decisions by parties evaluating our technologies not to pursue development of products with us;
our (or our licensees’) lack of sufficient funding to pursue trials rapidly or at all;
our (or our licensees’) inability to attract clinical investigators for trials;
our (or our licensees’) inability to recruit patients in sufficient numbers or at the expected rate;
our inability to find or reach agreement with licensees to undertake clinical trials;
decisions by licensees not to exercise options for products and not to pursue products licensed to them;
adverse side effects;
failure of trials to demonstrate a product candidate’s safety and efficacy;
our (or our licensees’) failure to meet FDA or other regulatory agency requirements for clinical trial design or inadequate clinical trial design;
our (or our licensees’) inability to follow patients adequately after treatment;
changes in the design or manufacture of a product;
failures by, changes in our (or our licensees’) relationship with, or other issues at contract research organizations, third-party vendors and investigators responsible for pre-clinical testing and clinical trials;
our (or our licensees’) inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials;
stability issues with materials;
failure to comply with current good laboratory practices (GLP), good clinical practices (GCP) or good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) or similar foreign regulatory requirements or otherthat affect the conduct of pre-clinical and clinical studies and the manufacturing issues;of products;
requests by regulatory authorities for additional data or clinical trials;
governmental or regulatory agency assessments of pre-clinical or clinical testing that differs from our (or our licensees’) interpretations or conclusions that product candidates meet quality standards for stability, quality, purity and potency;
governmental or regulatory delays, or changes in approval policies or regulations; and
developments, clinical trial results and other factors with respect to competitive products and treatments.
Results from pre-clinical testing and early clinical trials often do not accurately predict results of later clinical trials. Data obtained from pre-clinical and clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Data from pre-clinical studies, early clinical trials and interim periods in multi-year trials are preliminary and may change, and final data from pivotal trials for such products may differ significantly. Adverse side effects may develop that delay, limit or prevent the regulatory approval of products, or cause such regulatory approvals to be limited or even rescinded. Additional trials necessary for approval may not be undertaken or may ultimately fail to establish the safety and efficacy of our product candidates.
The FDA or other relevant regulatory agencies may not approve our product candidates for manufacture and sale, and any approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by other regulatory agencies or vice versa (which could require us to comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements, possibly including additional clinical testing). Any product approvals we or our licensees achieve could also be withdrawn for failure to comply with regulatory standards or due to unforeseen problems after the products’ marketing approval. In either case, marketing efforts with respect to the affected product would have to cease. In addition, the FDA or other regulatory agencies may impose limitations on the indicated uses for which a product may be marketed, which may reduce the size of or otherwise limit the potential market for the product.
In addition to testing, regulatory agencies impose various requirements on manufacturers and sellers of products under their jurisdiction, such as packaging, labeling, manufacturing practices, record keeping and reporting. Regulatory agencies may also require post-marketing testing and surveillance programs to monitor a product’s effects. Furthermore, changes in existing regulations or the adoption of new regulations could prevent us from obtaining, or affect the timing of, future regulatory approvals.
We have a limited ability to develop and market products ourselves. If we are unable to find development or marketing partners, or our development or marketing partners do not successfully develop or market our products, we may be unable to effectively develop and market products on our own.
WeOur strategy includes independently developing products, but we have limited product development capability and no marketing or sales staff. Developing products and achieving market acceptance for them can require extensive and substantial efforts by experienced personnel as well as expenditure of significant funds. We may not be able to establish or fund sufficient capabilities necessary to develop products and achieve market penetration ourselves.
Our business strategy also includes entering into collaborative and licensing arrangements for the development and commercialization of our product candidates, where appropriate, and we currently have collaboration andand/or licensing arrangements with Alimera, Pfizer, and Bausch & Lomb.Lomb and Enigma. The curtailment or termination of any of these arrangements could adversely affect our business, our ability to develop and commercialize our products, product candidates and proposed products and our ability to fund operations.
The success of these and future collaborative and licensing arrangements will depend heavily on the experience, resources, efforts and activities of our licensees. Our licensees have, and are expected to have, significant discretion in making decisions related to the development of product candidates and the
commercialization of products under these collaboration agreements. Risks that we face in connection with our collaboration and licensing strategy include the following:
our collaborative and licensing arrangements are, and are expected to be, subject to termination under various circumstances, including on short notice and without cause;
we are required, and expect to be required, under our collaborative and licensing arrangements not to conduct specified types of research and development in the field that is the subject of the arrangement or not to sell products in such field, limiting the areas of research, development and commercialization that we can pursue;
our licensees may be permitted to develop and commercialize, either alone or with others, products that are similar to or competitive with our products;
our licensees may change the focus of their development and commercialization efforts or decrease or fail to increase spending related to our products or product candidates, thereby limiting the ability of these products to reach their potential;
our licensees may lack the funding, personnel or experience to develop and commercialize our products successfully or may otherwise fail to do so; and
our licensees may not perform their obligations, in whole or in part.
To the extent that we choose notseek to independently manufacture, market and sell products or we are unable to enter into future license agreements with marketing and sales partners and, alternatively, seek to market and sell products ourselves,where we deem appropriate, we would experience increased capital requirements to develop the ability to manufacture, market and sell future products. We may notThere can be no assurance that we will be able to manufacture, market or sell our products or future products independently in the absence of such agreements.independently.
Our current licensees may terminate their agreements with us at any time, and if they do, we will lose the benefits of those agreements and may not be able to develop and sell products currently licensed to them.
Our licensees have rights of termination under our agreements with them. Exercise of termination rights by one or more of our licensees may leave us without the financial benefits and development, marketing or sales resources provided under the terminated agreement, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our interests may not continue to coincide with those of our partners, and our partners may develop, independently or with third parties, products or technologies that could compete with our products. Further, we may disagree with our partners over the rights and obligations under those agreements, including ownership of technologies or other proprietary interests, noncompetition, payments or other issues, which could result in breach of the agreements, including related damages or injunctive relief or termination.
For example, Pfizer may terminate the Restated Pfizer Agreement with respect to the Latanoprost Product without penalty at any time and for any reason upon 60 days’ written notice. We have exclusively licensed our technology underlying Vitrasert and Retisert tonotice, Bausch & Lomb which canmay terminate its license agreement with usrespect to Retisert without penalty at any time upon 90 days’ written notice. We have exclusively licensed the technology underlying ILUVIEN for DMEnotice and certain ophthalmic applications to Alimera. Alimera has financial responsibility for the development of ILUVIEN and any other licensed products developed under our collaboration agreement, along with sole responsibility for the commercialization of such licensed products. Alimera may abandon the development and commercialization of any licensed product, including ILUVIEN for DME, at any time.
Any of Pfizer, Alimera or Bausch & Lombour licensees may decide not to continue to develop, exercise options or commercialize products under their respective agreements, change strategic focus, or pursue alternative technologies instead of our technologies or develop competing products. While Pfizer and Bausch & Lomb have significant experience in the ophthalmic field and have substantial resources, there is no assurance whether, and to what extent, that experience and those resources will be devoted to our technologies. Alimera has limited
experience and limited financial resources, and ILUVIEN for DME is Alimera’s first commercial product. Because we do not currently have sufficient funding or internal capabilities to develop and commercialize our products and product candidates, decisions, actions, breachActions, including breaches or termination of these agreements by Pfizer, Bausch & Lomb or Alimeraour licensees, could delay, impair or stop the development or
commercialization of any of the products or product candidates licensed to such entities.them or require significant additional capital investment by us, which we may not have the resources to fund.
If products of our competitors receive regulatory approval or reach the market earlier, are more effective, have fewer side effects, are more effectively marketed or cost less, our products or product candidates may not be approved, may not achieve the sales we anticipate and could be rendered obsolete.
We believe that pharmaceutical, drug delivery and biotechnology companies, research organizations, governmental entities, universities, hospitals, other nonprofit organizations and individual scientists are seeking to develop drugs, therapies, products, approaches or methods to treat our targeted diseases or their underlying causes. For many of our targeted diseases, competitors have alternate therapies that are already commercialized or are in various stages of development ranging from discovery to advanced clinical trials. For example, Lucentis has been approved to treat patients with DME in the U.S. and EU, and Bayer HealthCare and Regeneron have instituted Phase III studies of EYLEA, already approved in the U.S. and Australia to treat wet AMD, to treat DME. Any of these drugs, therapies, products, approaches or methods may receive government approval or gain market acceptance more rapidly than our products and product candidates, may offer therapeutic or cost advantages, or may more effectively treat our targeted diseases or their underlying causes, which could result in our product candidates not being approved, reduce demand for our products and product candidates or render them noncompetitive or obsolete. For example, sales of Vitrasert for the treatment of CMV retinitis, a disease that affects people with late-stage AIDS, declined significantly with advances in the treatment of AIDS.
Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing and personnel resources than we do. Our competitors may succeed in developing alternate technologies and products that, in comparison to the products we have and are seeking to develop:
are more effective and easier to use;
are more economical;
have fewer side effects;
offer other benefits; or
may otherwise render our products less competitive or obsolete.
Many of these competitors have greater experience in developing products, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances and manufacturing and marketing products.products than we do.
Our products and product candidates may not achieve and maintain market acceptance and may never generate significant revenues.
In both domestic and foreign markets, the commercial success of our products and product candidates will require not only obtaining regulatory approvals but also obtaining market acceptance by retinal specialists and other doctors, patients, government health administration authorities and other third-party payors. Whether and to what extent our products and product candidates achieve and maintain market acceptance will depend on a number of factors, including demonstrated safety and efficacy, cost-effectiveness, potential advantages over other therapies, our and our collaborative partners’ marketing and distribution efforts and the reimbursement policies of government and other third-party payors. In particular, if government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for or recommend our products and product candidates, the market acceptance of our products and product candidates will be limited. Both government and other third-party payors attempt to contain healthcare costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for products
and, accordingly, they might challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of our products, or refuse to provide coverage for our products. If our products and product candidates fail to achieve and maintain market acceptance, they may fail to generate significant revenues and our business may be significantly harmed.
Guidelines, recommendations and studies published by various organizations could reduce the use of our products and product candidates.
Government agencies, professional societies, practice management groups, private health and science foundations and organizations focused on various diseases may publish guidelines, recommendations or studies related to our products and product candidates or our competitors’ products. Any such guidelines, recommendations or studies that reflect negatively on our products or product candidates could result in decreased use, sales of, and revenues from one or more of our products and product candidates. Furthermore, our success depends in part on our and our partners’ ability to educate healthcare providers and patients about our products and product candidates, and these education efforts could be rendered ineffective by, among other things, third-parties’ guidelines, recommendations or studies.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We rely heavily upon patents and trade secrets to protect our proprietary technologies. If we fail to protect our intellectual property or infringe on others’ technologies, our ability to develop and market our products and product candidates may be compromised.
Our success is dependent on whether we can obtain patents, defend our existing patents and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. As of August 31, 2012,2013, we had 199212 patents and 136111 pending patent applications, including patents and pending applications covering our Durasert, Tethadur, BioSilicon (including Tethadur) and CODRUGother technologies. Intellectual property protection of our technologies is uncertain. We expect to seek to patent and protect our proprietary technologies. However, there is no assurance that any additional patents will be issued to us as a result of our pending or future patent applications or that any of our patents will withstand challenges by others. In addition, we may not have sufficient funds to patent and protect our proprietary technologies to the extent that we would desire, or at all. If we were determined to be infringing any third partythird-party patent, we could be required to pay damages, alter our products or processes, obtain licenses, pay royalties or cease certain operations. We may not be able to obtain any required licenses on commercially favorable terms, if at all. In addition, many foreign country laws may treat the protection of proprietary rights differently from, and may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as, laws in the United States and Patent Co-operation Treaty countries.
Prior art may reduce the scope or protection of, or invalidate, our patents. Previously conducted research or published discoveries may prevent our patents from being granted, invalidate issued patents or narrow the scope of any protection obtained. Reduction in scope of protection or invalidation of our licensed or owned patents, or our inability to obtain patents, may enable other companies to develop products that compete with our products and product candidates on the basis of the same or similar technology. As a result, our patents and those of our licensors may not provide any or sufficient protection against competitors. While we have not been, and are not currently involved in, any litigation over intellectual property, such litigation may be necessary to enforce any patents issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of third party proprietary rights. We may also be sued by one or more third parties alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights. Any intellectual property litigation would be likely to result in substantial costs to us and diversion of our efforts, and could prevent or delay our discovery or development of product candidates. If our competitors claim technology also claimed by us, and if they prepare and file patent applications in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the appropriate foreign patent office to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial cost to us and diversion of our efforts. Any such litigation or interference proceedings, regardless of the outcome, could be expensive and time consuming. Litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, requiring disputed rights to be licensed from third parties and/or requiring us to cease using certain technologies.
We also rely on trade secrets, know-how and technology that are not protected by patents to maintain our competitive position. We try to protect this information by entering into confidentiality agreements with parties that have access to it, such as our corporate partners, collaborators, employees, and consultants. Any of these
parties could breach these agreements and disclose our confidential information, or our competitors may learn of the information in some other way. If any material trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position could be materially harmed.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS, INDUSTRY, STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS
If we fail to retain key personnel, our business could suffer.
We are dependent upon the principal members of our management and scientific staff. In addition, we believe that our future success in developing our products and achieving a competitive position may depend on whether we can attract and retain additional qualified management and scientific personnel. There is strong competition for management and scientific personnel within the industry in which we operate, and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. As we have a small number of employees and we believe our products are unique and highly specialized, the loss of the services of one or more of the principal members of our senior management or scientific staff, or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel and develop expertise as needed, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
If we are subject to product liability suits, we may not have sufficient insurance to cover damages.
The testing, manufacturing, and marketing and sale of the products utilizing our technologies involve risks that product liability claims may be asserted against us and/or our licensees. Our current clinical trial and product liability insurance may not be adequate to cover damages resulting from product liability claims. Regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims could require us to spend significant time, money and other resources to defend such claims, could result in decreased demand for our products and product candidates or result in reputational harm, and could result in the payment of a significant damage award. Our product liability insurance coverage is subject to deductibles and coverage limitations and may not be adequate in scope to protect us in the event of a successful product liability claim. Further, we may not be able to acquire sufficient clinical trial or product liability insurance in the future on reasonable commercial terms, if at all.
Consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries may adversely affect us.
There has been consolidation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Consolidation could result in the remaining companies having greater financial resources and technological capabilities, thus intensifying competition, and fewer potential collaboration partners or licensees for our product candidates. In addition, if a consolidating company is already doing business with our competitors, we could lose existing or potential future licensees or collaboration partners as a result of such consolidation.
If we or our licensees fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, our or their ability to manufacture and commercialize products may be adversely affected.
Medical and biopharmaceutical research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials, such as radioactive compounds and chemical solvents. We and our licensees are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials and waste products. We and they could be subject to both criminal liability and civil damages in the event of an improper or unauthorized release of, or exposure of individuals to, hazardous materials. In addition, claimants may sue us or them for resulting injury or contamination, and the liability may exceed our or their ability to pay. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair the research, development or production efforts of our company or our licensees and harm our operating results.
If we or our licensees encounter problems with product manufacturing, there could be delays in product development or commercialization, which would adversely affect our future profitability.
Our ability and that of our licensees to conduct timely pre-clinical and clinical research and development programs, obtain regulatory approvals, and develop and commercialize our product candidates will depend, in part, upon our and our licensees’ ability to manufacture our products and product candidates, either directly or through third parties, in accordance with FDA and other regulatory requirements. The manufacture, packaging and testing of our products and product candidates are regulated by the FDA and similar foreign regulatory entities and must be conducted in accordance with applicable cGMP and comparable foreign requirements. Any change in a manufacturing process or procedure used for one of our products or product candidates, including a change in the location at which a product or product candidate is being manufactured or in the third-party manufacturer being used, may require the FDA’s and similar foreign regulatory entities’ prior review and/or approval in accordance with applicable cGMP or other regulations. Additionally, the FDA and similar foreign regulatory entities may implement new standards, or change their interpretation and enforcement of existing standards, for the manufacture, packaging and testing of products at any time.
There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under cGMP and other foreign regulations that are both capable of manufacturing our products and product candidates and are willing to do so. Alimera has contracted with third-party manufacturers with respect to the manufacture of components of ILUVIEN. Failure by us, our collaborative partners, or our or their third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable manufacturing requirements could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval of our product candidates, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions. In addition, we or our collaborative partners may not be able to manufacture our product candidates successfully or have a third party manufacture them in a cost-effective manner. If we or our collaborative partners are unable to develop our own manufacturing facilities or to obtain or retain third-party manufacturing on acceptable terms, we may not be able to conduct certain future pre-clinical and clinical testing or to supply commercial quantities of our products.
We manufacture supplies in connection with pre-clinical or clinical studies conducted by us or our collaboration partners. Under our collaboration agreements with Alimera, Pfizer and Bausch & Lomb, welicensees. Our licensees have provided our licensees the exclusive rights to manufacture commercial quantities of products, once approved for marketing. Our and our licensees’ reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks, including:
failure of third parties to comply with cGMP and other applicable U.S. and foreign regulations and to employ adequate quality assurance practices;
inability to obtain the materials necessary to produce a product or to formulate the active pharmaceutical ingredient on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;
supply disruption, deterioration in product quality or breach of a manufacturing or license agreement by the third party because of factors beyond our or our licensees’ control;
termination or non-renewal of a manufacturing or licensing agreement with a third party at a time that is costly or difficult; and
inability to identify or qualify an alternative manufacturer in a timely manner, even if contractually permitted to do so.
Problems associated with international business operations could affect our ability to manufacture and sell our products. If we encounter such problems, our costs could increase and our development of products could be delayed.
We currently maintain offices and research and development facilities in the U.S. and the U.K., and our goal is to develop products for sale by us and our licensees in most major world healthcare markets. Manufacturing of pharmaceutical products requires us or our licensees to comply with regulations regarding safety and quality and
to obtain country and jurisdiction-specific regulatory approvals and clearances. We or our licensees may not be able to comply with such regulations or to obtain or maintain needed regulatory approvals and clearances or may be required to incur significant costs in doing so. In addition, our operations and future revenues may be subject to a number of risks associated with foreign commerce, including the following:
staffing and managing foreign operations;
political and economic instability;
foreign currency exchange fluctuations;
foreign tax laws, tariffs and freight rates and charges;
timing and availability of export licenses;
inadequate protection of intellectual property rights in some countries; and
obtaining required government approvals.
Credit and financial market conditions may exacerbate certain risks affecting our business.
Sales of our products are, and if approved, our product candidates will, depend on the availability and extent of reimbursement from government and other third-party payors. Difficult credit and financial market conditions may increase the risk that government and other third-party payors will reduce the availability or extent of reimbursement for our products, and the risk that third-party payors will delay or default on reimbursement obligations.
Development and sales of our products and product candidates also heavily depend on collaborative partners and third-party suppliers. Difficult credit and financial market conditions may increase the risk that there are delays, disruptions or defaults in the performance of these third parties’ obligations to us.
Legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.
Our industry is highly regulated and new laws, regulations and judicial decisions, and new interpretations of existing laws, regulations and judicial decisions, may adversely affect our business, operations and financial results.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (PPACA) is intended to expand U.S. healthcare coverage primarily through the imposition of health insurance mandates on employers and individuals and expansion of the Medicaid program. Several provisions of the PPACA could significantly reduce payments from Medicare and Medicaid for our products and any product candidates which obtain approval over the next 10 years. The PPACA’s effects cannot be fully known until its provisions are implemented, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and other federal and state agencies, issue applicable regulations or guidance. Proposed U.S. state healthcare reforms, and any foreign healthcare reforms, also could alter the availability, methods and rates of reimbursements from the government and other third-party payors for our products and any product candidates which obtain approval, and could adversely affect our business strategy, operations and financial results.
The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007FDAAA granted the FDA enhanced authority over products already approved for sale, including authority to require post-marketing studies and clinical trials, labeling changes based on new safety information and compliance with risk evaluations and mitigation strategies approved by the FDA. The FDA’s exercise of this relatively new authority could result in delays and increased costs during product development, clinical trials and regulatory review and approval, increased costs following regulatory approval to assure compliance with new post-approval regulatory requirements, and potential restrictions on the sale or distribution of approved products following regulatory approval.
Changes in the regulatory approval policy during the development period, changes in or the enactment of additional regulations or statutes, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted product application may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. For example, the July 9, 2012 reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA)PDUFA extended by two months the period in which the FDA is expected to review and approve certain NDAs. Although the FDA has recently stated that it expects to meet PDUFA’s updated timing goals, it has in the past provided its managers discretion to miss them due to heightened agency workload or understaffing in the review divisions; accordingly,divisions. Accordingly, it remains unclear whether and to what extent the FDA will adhere to PDUFA timing goals in the future, which could delay approval and commercialization of our product candidates.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
The price of our common stock may be volatile.
The price of our common stock (including common stock represented by CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs)) may be affected by developments directly affecting our business as well as by developments out of our control or not specific to us. The price of our common stock dropped significantly when the FDA issued its 2011 CRL with respect to ILUVIEN for DME. The biotechnology sector, in particular, and the stock market generally, are vulnerable to abrupt changes in investor sentiment. Prices of securities and trading volume of companies in the biotechnology industry, including ours, can swing dramatically in ways unrelated to, or that bear a disproportionate relationship to, our performance. The price of our common stock (and CDIs) and their trading volumes may fluctuate based on a number of factors including, but not limited to:
clinical trials and their results and other product and technological developments and innovations;
FDA and other domestic and international governmental regulatory actions, receipt and timing of approvals of our product candidates, and any denials and withdrawal of approvals;
competitive factors, including the commercialization of new products in our markets by our competitors;
advancements with respect to treatment of the diseases targeted by our product candidates;
developments relating to and actions by our collaborative partners, including execution, amendment and termination of agreements, achievement of milestones and receipt of payments;
the success of our collaborative partners in marketing any approved products and the amount and timing of payments to us;
availability and cost of capital and our financial and operating results;
actions with respect to pricing, reimbursement and coverage, and changes in reimbursement policies or other practices relating to our product candidatesproducts or the pharmaceutical industry generally;
meeting, exceeding or failing to meet analysts’ or investors’ expectations, and changes in evaluations and recommendations by securities analysts;
economic, industry and market conditions, changes or trends; and
other factors unrelated to us or the biotechnology industry.
In addition, low trading volume in our common stock or our CDIs may increase their price volatility. Holders of our common stock and CDIs may not be able to liquidate their positions at the desired time or price. Finally, we will need to continue to meet the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market, including the minimum stock price, and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for our stock and CHESS Depositary InterestsCDIs to continue to be traded on those exchanges, respectively.
If the holders of our outstanding warrants and stock options exercise their warrants and options, ownership of our common stock holders may be diluted, and our stock price may decline.
As of August 31, 2012,2013, we had outstanding warrants and options to acquire approximately 4.65.1 million shares of our common stock, or approximately 16.6%16.1% of our shares on a fully diluted basis. The issuance of shares of our common stock upon exercise of these warrants and stock options could result in dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock and could adversely affect our stock price. The overhang of outstanding warrants and options may adversely affect our stock price.
Pfizer owns a significant percentage of our common stock and is a collaborative partner and therefore may be able to influence our business in ways that are not beneficial to you.
Pfizer owned approximately 8.0% of our outstanding shares as of August 31, 2012 and is a collaborative partner. As a result, Pfizer may be able to exert significant influence over our board of directors and how we operate our business. The concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock, and any return to investors is expected to come, if at all, only from potential increases in the price of our common stock.
At the present time, we intend to use available funds to finance our operations. Accordingly, while payment of dividends rests within the discretion of our board of directors, no cash dividends on our common shares have been declared or paid by us and we have no intention of paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations and related to future events and our future financial performance, that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of many important factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, and elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We develop tiny, sustained-release drug delivery products designed to deliver drugs and biologics at a controlled and steady rate for weeks, months or years. WeUtilizing our core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™, we are focused on treatment of chronic diseases of the back of the eye utilizing our core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™. We currently have three approved products and two principal product candidates under development, which represent successive generations of our Durasert technology platform.are also exploring applications outside ophthalmology. We have developed three of the four sustained release devicessustained-release products for treatment of retinal diseases currently approved in the U.S. or the European Union (EU)., and our lead product candidate began a Phase III clinical trial in June 2013. Our strategy includes developing products independently while continuing to leverage our technology platforms through collaboration and license agreements.
ILUVIEN.ILUVIEN®Our, our most recently approved product, ILUVIEN® is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert delivering the corticosteroid fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) over a period of up to 3 years for thethat provides treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.therapies over a period of up to three years. ILUVIEN is being developedlicensed to and sold by our licensee Alimera Sciences, Inc. (Alimera).
, and we are entitled to a share of the net profits, as defined, from Alimera’s sales of ILUVIEN has received marketing authorizationfor DME. Alimera commenced the commercial launch of ILUVIEN for DME in the United Kingdom, Austria,U.K. and Germany in the second quarter of 2013 and expects to launch in France Germany and Portugal, and marketing authorization is pending in Italy and Spain.the first quarter of 2014. The International Diabetes Federation has estimated that approximately 19.119.0 million people in these seven countries have diabetes in the seven EU countries where ILUVIEN has received or been recommended for marketing authorization, of which Alimera has estimated that approximately 1.1 million people suffer from vision loss associated with DME. Alimera has announced its intention to proceed with the direct commercialization of ILUVIEN in Germany, the U.K. and France in 2013.
To date, Alimera has not receivedis also seeking marketing approval for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. Following receiptIn the second quarter of 2013, Alimera received a new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of October 17, 2013 after resubmitting its New Drug Application (NDA) for ILUVIEN for DME. The resubmission responded to a second Complete Response Letter in November 2011 (2011 CRL)(CRL) received from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2011.
Medidur™, and based on a meeting withour lead development product, commenced the FDA in June 2012, Alimera has reported that it intends to resubmit its New Drug Application (NDA) for ILUVIEN for DME in early 2013. Alimera further reported that it intends to include additional analysisfirst of the benefits and risks of ILUVIEN based upon the clinical data from itsour two previously completed pivotalplanned Phase III clinical trials (FAME™ Study) and to focus on the population of patients for which regulatory approval has been granted in the various EU countries.
Product Development. We are pursuing the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (posterior uveitis) as another indication forin June 2013. Medidur uses the same injectableDurasert micro-insert used in ILUVIEN. We did not license this indication to Alimera. The FDA has cleared our Investigational New Drug application (IND), permitting us to move directly to two Phase III trials for this indication without the necessityILUVIEN and delivers a lower dose of first conducting Phase I or Phase II trials. The FDA has agreed that the primary end point in these trials will be recurrence of uveitis within 12 months and that we can reference much of the data, including the clinical safety data, from the clinical trials for ILUVIEN for DME. We plan to enroll a total of approximately 300 patients in our clinical trials and to utilize an inserter with a different design and a smaller gauge needle than the planned commercial inserter for ILUVIEN for DME. Because this micro-insert delivers the same drug as our approvedFDA-approved Retisert® product for posterior uveitis, we expect these trials will show efficacy. Further, as the same micro-insert was used in the ILUVIEN trials, we expectwhich is licensed to observe a side-effect profile in uveitis patients comparable to that seen in DME patients. As a result, weBausch & Lomb. We are optimistic that this micro-insert will be efficacious for posterior uveitis with a favorable risk/benefit profile and fewer side effects compared to Retisert. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II study of the safety and efficacy of this micro-insert for the treatment of posterior uveitis is ongoing.developing Medidur independently.
We are also developing a bioerodible, injectable micro-insert delivering latanoprost (the Latanoprost Product) to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalation studyUnder an amended collaboration agreement, Pfizer has been initiated to assess the safety and efficacy of this micro-insert in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). We have granted to Pfizer, Inc. an exclusive option, under variouscertain circumstances, to license the worldwide development and commercialization of the Latanoprost Product for the treatment of human ophthalmic disease or conditions other than uveitis.worldwide.
We are investigatingengaged in pre-clinical research with respect to both our BioSilicon and Durasert technology platforms. The primary focus of our BioSilicon technology research is the sustained delivery of peptides, proteins, antibodies and other large biologic molecules using our Tethadur™ technology in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic applications. Our research program also includes the use of Durasert technology in orthopedic applications and for the treatment of orthopedic diseases.
BioSilicon.The second key technology platform we are targeting is BioSilicon, which uses fully-erodible, nanostructured, porous material for sustained drug delivery. Our primary focus is on Tethadur™, an application of BioSilicon technology designed to provide sustainedsystemic delivery of large biologic molecules, including proteins, antibodies and peptides. The sizes of the pores in the BioSilicon material are manufactured using nanotechnology to accommodate specific protein, peptide or antibody molecules that are then released on a sustained basis over time as the material bioerodes. therapeutic agents.
Our BioSilicon technology can also be designed to deliver smaller molecules. We are investigating the use of BioSilicon in our Latanoprost Product and the use of Tethadur in other ophthalmic applications.
FDA-approvedFDA Approved Products.RetisertOur two FDA-approved products utilize two earlier generations of our Durasert technology system and are surgically implanted. Second-generation Retisert delivers FAc to provide provides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and a half years and first-generation Vitrasert® delivers gancicloviris licensed to provide sustained release treatment of AIDS-related cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis for six to nine months. We licensed both of these products toand sold by Bausch & Lomb.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make certain estimates, judgments 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 periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, anticipated results and trends and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. By their nature, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and management evaluates them on an ongoing basis for changes in facts and circumstances. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we believe that the following accounting policies are critical to understanding the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follows be read in conjunction with the critical accounting policies discussed below.
Revenue Recognition
Our business strategy includes entering into collaborative license and development agreements for the development and commercialization of product candidates utilizing our technology systems. The terms of these arrangements typically include multiple deliverables by us (for example, granting of license rights, providing research and development services and manufacturing of clinical materials, participating on joint research committee)committees) in exchange for consideration to us of some combination of non-refundable license fees, funding of
research and development activities, payments based upon achievement of clinical development, regulatory and sales milestones and royalties in the form of a designated percentage of product sales or profits.
Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer and based on the selling price of the deliverables. When deliverables are separable, consideration received is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on the relative selling price of the elements and the appropriate revenue recognition principles are applied to each unit.
The assessment of multiple deliverable arrangements requires judgment in order to determine the appropriate units of accounting, the estimated selling price of each unit of accounting, and the points in time that, or periods over which, revenue should be recognized.
For the year ended June 30, 2012,2013, we reported $2.1 million$780,000 of collaborative research and development revenue. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
We prospectively adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605):Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) for new and materially modified arrangements originating on or after July 1, 2010. ASU 2009-13 requires a vendor to allocate revenue to each unit of accounting in arrangements involving multiple deliverables. It changes the level of evidence of standalone selling price required to separate deliverables by allowing a vendor to make its best estimate of the standalone selling price of deliverables when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available.
As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, adoption of this accounting pronouncement in fiscal 2011 resulted in the recognition of revenue in connection with our 2007 Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer that became subject to the new accounting pronouncement after a material modification to the agreement occurred. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2009-13, deferred revenues associated with this Pfizer agreement will be recognized as revenues earlier than would otherwise have occurred.
OurWe concluded that our deliverables under the Restated Pfizer Agreement includeare conducting the research and development program for the Latanoprost Product through completion of Phase II (the “R&D program”) and participation on a Joint Steering Committee (JSC). We treat these as a single deliverable, having concluded that the JSC does not have standalone value separate from the R&D program. We concluded that the Pfizer exercise option for the worldwide exclusive license is not a deliverable of the arrangement, due to it being a substantive option and not being priced at a significant and incremental discount. We determined that the JSC does not have standalone value from the R&D program and therefore we combined these deliverables into a single unit of accounting.
The total arrangement consideration of the Restated Pfizer Agreement totaled $10.05 million, which consisted of the $7.75 million of deferred revenue on our balance sheet at the effective date plus the $2.3 million upfront payment. The difference between the total arrangement consideration and the estimated selling price of the combined deliverables, or $3.3 million, was recognized as collaborative research and development revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the period of the modification. The remaining balance is being recognized as revenue using the proportional performance method over the estimated period of our performance obligations under the R&D program.
To determine the estimated selling price of the combined deliverable, we applied an estimated margin to our cost projections for the combined deliverable. A change in the estimated margin or our cost projections would have directly impacted the amount of revenue recognized during fiscal 2011. An increase of 10% in our estimated selling price of the combined deliverables would have reduced revenue recognized in fiscal 2011 by $670,000 and would have increased the amount of deferred revenue recognized in each of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013 by 10%, or $75,000.$75,000 and $37,000, respectively. Application of the proportional performance method in any fiscal period would result in an increase or decrease in revenue recognized to the extent that the aggregate projected costs to conduct the R&D program decreases or increases, respectively, compared to the previous period.
Valuation of Intangible Assets
At December 31, 2011, we recorded a $14.8$11.7 million impairment of our BioSilicon intangible assetand a $3.1 million impairment write-down of our Durasert and BioSilicon technology systems. Following the November 2011 public announcement of the 2011 CRL, there
was a significant decline in the Company’s share price, resulting in a decrease of the Company’s market capitalization from $82.0 million to $23.1 million at December 31, 2011.intangible. The combination of the 2011 CRL and the subsequent significant decline in the Company’s share pricemarket capitalization were determined to be impairment indicators of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets. To assess the recoverability of the combined intangiblethese assets (which had a carrying value of $19.4 million at December 31, 2011), we used a combination ofboth market-based and income-based valuation methodologies. Usingmethodologies, and allocated the market-based approach as the primary indicator of fair value, an enterprise value of $4.4 million (market capitalization less existing capital resources) was adjusted for an estimated control premium and for other working capital items to derive an implied fair value of the intangible assets of $4.6 million. Under the income-based approach, the forecasted cash flows expected for the intangible assets were discounted using after-tax cost of capital rates taking into account Company-specific risks. The resulting fair value under this approach supported the conclusions of the market-based approach. Based on these analyses, the fair value of the combined intangible assets was allocated to each intangiblethe individual assets based on values determined under the income-based approach, resulting in an $11.7 million write-down of the BioSilicon intangible and a $3.1 million write-down of the Durasert intangible.approach.
At June 30, 2012, we reported $4.2 million of intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, which consisted of $2.9 million related to Durasert and $1.3 million related to BioSilicon. We amortize theseour intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives, which currently extend through calendar year 2017 and is expected to result in a charge to operations of approximately $770,000$760,000 per year. We believe that the carrying value of our intangible assets will be recouped primarily through expected net cash flows from our existing or future collaboration agreements described under License and Collaboration Agreements above or through other licensing orour own product development and commercialization.
We will continue to review our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the asset carrying valuevalues may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lifelives of the asset isassets are no longer appropriate. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include the following:
Change relative to historical or projected future operating results,
Modification or termination of our existing collaboration agreements,
Factors affecting the development of products utilizing the intangible assets,
Changes in the expected use of the intangible assets or the strategy for the overall business, and
Industry or economic trends and developments.
If an impairment trigger is identified, we determine recoverability of an intangible asset by comparing projected undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, and the carrying value is adjusted. Estimated future undiscounted cash flows, which relate to existing contractual agreements as well as projected cash flows from future research and development collaboration agreements utilizing the underlying technology systems, require management’s judgment regarding future events and probabilities. Actual results could vary from these estimates. Future adverse changes or other unforeseeable factors could result in an impairment charge with respect to some or all of the carrying value of our intangible assets. Such an impairment charge could materially impact future results of operations and financial position in the reporting period identified.
A significant change in the estimation of the projected undiscounted net cash flows for the products and product candidates utilizing the Durasert or BioSilicon technology systems, among other things, could result in the further impairment of the carrying value of the respective assets.

Revenues
We recognized total revenue of $2.1 million for fiscal 2013 as compared to $3.5 million for fiscal 2012.
Collaborative research and development revenue declined to $780,000 in fiscal 2013, a 63% decrease from $2.1 million in fiscal 2012, primarily due to non-recurring revenue of $1.1 million in fiscal 2012, which was recognized upon the termination of a field-of-use license. Approximately half of our collaborative research and
development revenue was recognition of deferred revenue from collaboration agreements in fiscal 2013 compared to substantially all in the prior year. $738,000 of the remaining deferred revenue balance of $6.0 million at June 30, 2013 is expected to be recognized as revenue during fiscal 2014.
Our Retisert royalty income in fiscal 2013 increased to $1.4 million, a 3.6% increase over the prior year. Substantially all of the royalty income in both years was derived from sales of Retisert by Bausch & Lomb. During fiscal 2013, Bausch & Lomb discontinued sales of Vitrasert. We do not expect Retisert royalty income to increase significantly in the future, and it may decline.
Research and Development
Research and development totaled $7.0 million in each of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. Periodic amortization of intangible assets decreased by $1.3 million in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012, which resulted from a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment write-down at December 31, 2011. This decrease was substantially offset in fiscal 2013 by approximately $700,000 of initial costs incurred for the first of two planned pivotal Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis, which commenced in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, and an approximate $600,000 increase in personnel costs, which consisted primarily of additional headcount and cash incentive compensation accruals. We expect to significantly increase our research and development expense in fiscal 2014 in connection with patient enrollment for the Phase III clinical trial of Medidur.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs increased by $301,000, or 4%, to $7.2 million for fiscal 2013 from $6.9 million for fiscal 2012, primarily attributable to $630,000 of cash incentive compensation accruals, which compared to zero in the prior year. This was partially offset by an approximate $430,000 decrease in professional fees.
Other Income
Other income decreased by $193,000, or 93%, to $14,000 for fiscal 2013 from $207,000 for fiscal 2012. Other income for fiscal 2012 consisted primarily of the change in fair value of derivatives of $170,000. This income, which reduced the derivative liability balance to zero, was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and resulted from the July 2012 expiration of the remaining warrants denominated in Australian dollars (A$), which were recorded as derivative liabilities at issuance and revalued at subsequent period reporting dates. Interest income, net, decreased by $23,000 from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2013 as a result of lower levels of marketable securities investments and further decreases in yields for investment grade corporate bonds and commercial paper of short maturities.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit, which consisted of foreign research and development tax credits, decreased by $52,000, or 31%, to $117,000 in fiscal 2013 from $169,000 in fiscal 2012, primarily attributable to the impact of third party funding of certain qualified research and development costs.

Revenues
We recognized total revenue of $3.5 million for fiscal 2012 as compared to $5.0 million for fiscal 2011. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in collaborative research and development revenue, partially offset by a $93,000 increase in royalty income.
We restated the Pfizer Agreement in fiscal 2011, for which we received $2.3 million in upfront consideration, resulting in an aggregate $10.0 million balance of deferred revenue associated with that agreement. In fiscal 2011, we recognized $3.3 million of deferred revenue from that agreement, and the remainder is being recognized as revenue using the proportional performance method over the estimated period of our performance obligations under the Latanoprost Product research program.
Collaborative research and development revenue for fiscal 2012 of $2.1 million consisted primarily of deferred revenue recognition of $754,000 related to the June 2011 Restated Pfizer Agreement and $1.1 million resulting from the termination of a field-of-use license. This compares to $3.6 million of collaborative research and development revenue for fiscal 2011, which was predominantly associated with the Restated Pfizer Agreement. At the effective date of the Restated Pfizer Agreement, we had $7.75 million of deferred revenue from the Original Pfizer Agreement on our balance sheet, and we received $2.3 million of upfront consideration. The $6.7 million balance of Pfizer deferred revenue at June 30, 2011, after initial revenue recognition of $3.3 million, is being recognized as revenue using the proportional performance method over the estimated period of our performance obligations (the Latanoprost Product research program) under the Restated Pfizer Agreement. Of the remaining Pfizer deferred revenue balance of $6.0 million at June 30, 2012, approximately $2.2 million is currently expected to be recognized as revenue during fiscal 2013.
Substantially all of our royalty income in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 was from sales of Retisert. Our Retiserttotal royalty income increased 9% to $1.4 millionby $92,000, or 6.8%, in fiscal 2012 compared to $1.2fiscal 2011, and approximated $1.4 million in fiscal 2011. Despite this increase, we do not expect thateach year. Our remaining royalty income was from Bausch & Lomb for Retisert (or for Vitrasert) will be a material source of revenues for us, and it may decline.Vitrasert sales.
Research and Development
Research and development increased by $175,000, or 3%, to $7.0 million for fiscal 2012 from $6.9 million for fiscal 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs and the absence in fiscal 2012 of a federal therapeutic discovery grant received in fiscal 2011, substantially offset by decreased amortization of
intangible assets in fiscal 2012 resulting from a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment write-down at December 31, 2011. We may significantly increase our research and development expense in fiscal 2013, primarily dependent upon whether and when we initiate internally funded pivotal clinical trials of our sustained-release micro-insert to treat patients with posterior uveitis or Phase II clinical trials for the Latanoprost Product.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs decreased by $1.2 million, or 15%, to $6.9 million for fiscal 2012 from $8.1 million for fiscal 2011, primarily attributable to decreased stock-based compensation (including performance stock option forfeitures), professional fees and the absence in fiscal 2012 of cash incentive compensation, payment of which iswas subject to future conditions.
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives
Change in fair value of derivatives represented income of $170,000 for fiscal 2012 compared to income of $1.1 million for fiscal 2011. Warrants denominated in A$ were recorded as derivative liabilities, subject to revaluation at subsequent reporting dates. Fiscal 2011 income from the change in fair value of derivatives determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, was predominantly due to the expiration of approximately 3.7 million, or 95%, of the A$-denominated warrants during that year. The derivative liabilities balance was reduced to zero during fiscal 2012 in connection with the July 2012 expiration of our last remaining A$-denominated warrants, with the result that we will not recognize income or loss relating to the change in the fair value of derivatives from these warrants in the future.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit decreased by $49,000, or 22%, to $169,000 in fiscal 2012 from $218,000 in fiscal 2011, primarily attributable to the absence in fiscal 2012 of a net reduction of deferred tax liabilities and federal alternative minimum tax expense in fiscal 2011, partially offset by higher foreign research and development tax credits.

Revenues
We recognized total revenue of $5.0 million for fiscal 2011 as compared to $23.1 million for fiscal 2010. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a $19.0 million decrease in collaborative research and development revenue, partially offset by an $870,000 increase in royalty income.
Collaborative research and development revenue for fiscal 2011of $3.6 million was predominantly related to the June 2011 Restated Pfizer Agreement discussed above. Collaborative research and development revenue for fiscal 2010 was predominantly attributable to $22.3 million recognized in connection with our amended collaboration agreement with Alimera. The Alimera revenue consisted of (i) the payment in full by Alimera of a $15.0 million conditional note plus interest in April 2010 and (ii) $7.1 million of revenue related to recognition of up-front license consideration, reimbursement of our development costs and receipt of conditional note interest payments through the December 31, 2009 end date of our performance obligations under the restated agreement.
For fiscal 2011, we earned $1.2 million of Retisert royalties. For fiscal 2010, we recognized $342,000 in Retisert royalty income and $1.2 million of Retisert royalties otherwise payable to us were retained by Bausch & Lomb as the result of a 2005 advance payment from Bausch & Lomb, thereby completing an advance royalty agreement. Retisert royalty income for fiscal 2011 represented a 19.3% decrease compared to the aggregate of fiscal 2010 royalty income and amounts retained by Bausch & Lomb.
Research and Development
Research and development decreased by $130,000, or 2%, to $6.9 million for fiscal 2011 from $7.0 million for fiscal 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to a federal therapeutic discovery grant, partially offset by a small increase in research and development costs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs increased by $1.1 million, or 16%, to $8.1 million for fiscal 2011 from $7.0 million for fiscal 2010, primarily attributable to increased stock-based compensation and professional fees.
Change in Fair Value of Derivatives
Change in fair value of derivatives represented income of $1.1 million for fiscal 2011 compared to expense of $339,000 for fiscal 2010. The change in fair value of derivatives for fiscal 2011 was predominantly due to the expiration of approximately 95% of the A$-denominated warrants during the year. The corresponding net expense in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a substantial increase in the market price of our shares in fiscal 2010 (resulting in a smaller spread between the market price and the US$-equivalent exercise prices of the warrants), partially offset by the decrease in the weighted average remaining life of the underlying warrants during the period.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
Income tax benefit of $218,000 in fiscal 2011 compares to $23,000 of income tax expense for fiscal 2010, primarily attributable to a net reduction of deferred tax liabilities.
Inflation and Seasonality
Our management believes inflation has not had a material impact on our operations or financial condition and that our operations are not currently subject to seasonal influences.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
New accounting pronouncements are issued periodically by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise disclosed below, we believe that the impact of recently issued and adopted pronouncements will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows or do not apply to our operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-5Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income,which provides new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will requireincome. This guidance requires a company to present components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income (loss) or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effectiveThe Company adopted this standard for fiscal years,the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We are not adoptinghas presented the standard earlyrequired information in one continuous statement of operations and it is applicable for our fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 2012. We have not yet determined which method we will elect to present comprehensive income under the new standard.loss on a comparative basis. Other than a change in presentation, the adoption of this guidance willdid not have a material impact on ourthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the period of fiscal 20102011 through fiscal 2012,2013, we financed our operations primarily from registered direct offerings of our equity securities in January 2011 and August 2012, as well as operating cash flows from license fees and research and development funding and contingent cash payments from our collaboration partners and a January 2011 registered direct offering of our equity securities.collaborations. At June 30, 2012,2013, our principal source of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $14.6$10.3 million. In August 2012,July 2013, we
enhanced our cash resources through the sale, in a registered directan underwritten public offering, of 2,494,419 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 623,6053,494,550 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $4.7$9.9 million. Our cash equivalents are invested in institutional money market funds, and our marketable securities are invested in investment-grade corporate debt and commercial paper and certificates of deposit with maturities at June 30, 20122013 ranging from zeroone to nineseven months.
With the exception of net income in fiscal 2010 resulting from a non-recurring event, we have incurred operating losses since inception and, at June 30, 2012,2013, we had a total accumulated deficit of $251.8$263.7 million. We do not currently have any assured sources of revenue and we generally expect negative cash flows from operations on a quarterly basis at leastunless and until such time as we receive sufficient revenues from ILUVIEN for DME or one or more of our products orother product candidates achievesachieve regulatory approval and providesprovide us sufficient revenues. We believe that our capital resources of $14.6$10.3 million at June 30, 2012,2013, together with the $4.7$9.9 million of net proceeds offrom our August 2012July 2013 share offering, and expected Retisert royalty income from Bausch & Lomb shouldand other expected cash inflows under existing collaboration and evaluation agreements will enable us to fund our operations as currently planned through the end of calendar year 2013.2014. This includes expected costs through that date of Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis, but does not include any potential milestone or net profit receipts under the Alimera collaboration agreement. Our capital resources would be enhanced if Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and if ILUVIEN for DME were approved and successfully commercialized in the U.S., although even so, the amount and timing of any such receipts is uncertain. Accordingly, we expect to need additional resources to fund our planned Phase III trials for Medidur for posterior uveitis, as well as other research and development and operations. Whether we will require, or desire, to raise additional capital will be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to:
whether, when and to what extent we receive revenues from Alimera with respect to ILUVIEN for DME, including from commercialization in the EU or upon any approval or commercialization in the U.S.;
the timing and cost of development of Medidur for posterior uveitis;
whether and when we initiate Phase II clinical trials for the Latanoprost Product and Pfizer exercises its option;
whether and the extent to which we internally fund, when we initiate, and how we conduct product development and programs, including with respect to BioSilicon and Tethadur applications;
whether and when we are able to enter into strategic arrangements for our product candidatesproducts and the nature of those arrangements;
when and if we initiate, how we conduct, and whether and the extent to which we internally fund product development and programs, including clinical trials for the posterior uveitis micro-insert and the Latanoprost Product and ongoing research and development of BioSilicon technology applications;
whether and when Pfizer exercises its option with respect to the Latanoprost Product;
timely and successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our products and product candidates;
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing any patent claims; and
changes in our operating plan, resulting in increases or decreases in our need for capital.
Absent adequate levels of funding from newexisting and potential future collaboration or other agreements and/or financing transactions, management currently believes that our cash position beyond calendar year 20132014 depends significantly on possible revenues from the successful commercialization by Alimera of ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and, if ILUVIEN for DME were to be approved by the FDA, and successfully commercialized in the U.S. However, there is no assurance that the FDA or other additional regulatory authorities will approve ILUVIEN for DME, that it will achieve market acceptance in any market or that we will receive significant, if any, revenues from ILUVIEN for DME. Exercise by Pfizer of its option for the Latanoprost Product would also enhance our cash position, although there is no assurance when the option will become exercisable or if Pfizer will exercise it.
We enhanced our capital resources in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, raising net proceeds of $4.7 million through a registered direct offering of common stock and warrants. If we determine that it is desirable or necessary to raise additional capital in the future, we do not know if it will be available when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. The state of the economy and the financial and credit markets at the time we seek additional financing may make it more difficult and more
expensive to obtain. If available, additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, debt financing may involve restrictive covenants or other unfavorable terms and potential dilutive equity, and funding through collaboration agreements may be on unfavorable terms, including requiring us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products. If adequate financing is not available if and when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate research or development programs, postpone or cancel the pursuit of product candidates, including pre-clinical and clinical trials and new business opportunities, reduce staff and operating costs or otherwise significantly curtail our operations to reduce our cash requirements and extend our capital.

Our operating lease obligations consist predominantly of office and lab space in Watertown, Massachusetts and Malvern, U.K. Our purchase obligations primarily consist of non-cancellable purchase orders for clinical trial and pre-clinical study costs, supplies and other operating needs.services.
We also have contractualan agreement with a contract research organization (CRO) to conduct the first of two planned Phase III clinical trials of Medidur for posterior uveitis. We were contractually obligated for up to approximately $11.0 million for services under this agreement as of June 30, 2013. The timing of actual amounts owed under the agreement will depend on various factors, including patient enrollment and other progress of the clinical trial. We can terminate the agreement at any time, and if terminated, we would not be liable for the full amount of the contract, but rather for services through the termination date plus non-cancellable CRO obligations that are variable in nature and, as such, are not included in the above table. These includeto third parties.
We also have employment agreements with our three executive officers that would require us to make severance payments to them if we terminate their employment without cause or the executives resign for good cause.
ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We have exposure to changes in the valuation of derivative liabilities, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
Derivative Liabilities
During fiscal 2011, approximately 3.7 million warrants denominated in A$ expired. The remaining 205,479 A$ warrants outstanding at June 30, 2012 had a US$-equivalent exercise price of $7.80 per share compared to the $2.31 NASDAQ closing price of our common shares at that date and an expiration date of July 19, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the balance of our derivative liabilities was $0 and was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The change in fair value of derivatives resulted in income of $170,000 for fiscal 2012, income of $1.1 million for fiscal 2011 and expense of $339,000 for fiscal 2010.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We conduct operations in two principal currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Pound Sterling (£). The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for our U.S. operations, and the Pound Sterling is the functional currency for our U.K. operations. Changes in the foreign exchange rate of the Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar and Pound Sterling impact the net operating expenses of our U.K. operations. The minimal strengthening of the U.S. dollar in fiscal 20122013 compared to fiscal 20112012 resulted in a net decrease in research and development expense of approximately $11,000.$22,000. For every incremental 5% strengthening or weakening of the weighted average exchange rate of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Pound Sterling, our research and development expense in fiscal 2013 would have decreased or increased by $109,000, respectively. All cash and cash equivalents, and most other asset and liability balances, are denominated in each entity’s functional currency and, accordingly, we do not consider our statement of operationcomprehensive loss exposure to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses to be significant.
Changes in the foreign exchange rate of the Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar and Pound Sterling also impactimpacted total stockholders’ equity. During fiscal 2012,As reported in the statement of comprehensive loss, the relative strengthening of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Pound Sterling at June 30, 2013 compared to June 30, 2012 resulted in a net decreaseincrease of $492,000$29,000 in stockholders’ equityother comprehensive loss due to the translation of approximately £1.1 million£731,000 of net assets of our U.K. operations, predominantly the BioSilicon technology intangible asset, into U.S. dollars. For every incremental 5% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar at June 30, 20122013 in relation to the Pound Sterling, our stockholders’ equity at June 30, 20122013 would have decreased or increased, respectively, by approximately $87,000.
Interest Rates
Cash and cash equivalent balances are subject to variable interest rates. We do not consider our exposure to interest rates to be significant.$56,000.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012.2013. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their desired objectives, and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012,2013, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
(a) | Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., and includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012.2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) inInternal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC that permit the Company, as a non-accelerated filer,smaller reporting company, to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
(b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of pSivida Corp.
Watertown, Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of pSivida Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations,comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012.2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of pSivida Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 20122013 and 2011,2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2012,2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PSIVIDA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(tabular amounts in thousands except share, per share and percentage amounts)
1. | Operations |
pSivida Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), incorporated in Delaware, develops tiny, sustained release, drug deliverysustained-release products that are administered by implantation, injection or insertion and designed to deliver drugdrugs and biologics at a controlled and steady rate for weeks, months or years. TheUsing its core technology platforms, Durasert™ and BioSilicon™, the Company is currently focused on the treatment of chronic diseases of the back of the eye and is also exploring applications outside ophthalmology. The Company has developed three of the four sustained-release products for treatment of retinal diseases utilizingcurrently approved in the U.S. or European Union (“EU”), and its corelead product candidate began a Phase III clinical trial in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter. The Company’s strategy includes developing products independently while continuing to leverage its technology systems, Durasert™platforms through collaboration and BioSilicon™. Thelicense agreements.
ILUVIEN®, the Company’s most recently approved product, ILUVIEN®, is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert delivering the corticosteroid fluocinolone acetonide (“FAc”) for up to 3 years for thethat provides treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema (“DME”) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. The Company has two sustained-release drug delivery products approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)therapies over a period of up to treat other back-of-the-eye diseases. The FDA recently cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to study the same micro-insert used inthree years. ILUVIEN for the treatment of posterior uveitis and an investigator-sponsored trial is ongoing for an injectable bioerodible insert delivering latanoprost designed to treat glaucoma.
ILUVIEN, licensed to and sold by Alimera Sciences, Inc. (“Alimera”), has received marketing authorizationand the Company is entitled to a share of the net profits, as defined, from Alimera’s sales of ILUVIEN for DME. Alimera commenced the commercial launch of ILUVIEN for DME in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), Austria, France,and Germany and Portugal, and has been recommended for marketing authorization in Italy and Spain following completion of the Decentralized Procedure (“DCP”) involving all seven of these countries in the European Union (“EU”). Subjectsecond quarter of 2013 and expects to determination of pricing and reimbursement, Alimera has announced its intention to directly commercialize ILUVIENlaunch in Germany, the U.K. and France in 2013. Followingthe first quarter of 2014. Alimera is also seeking marketing approval for ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. In the second quarter of 2013, Alimera received a meeting with the FDA in June 2012 in response to receiptnew Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) goal date of the FDA’s November 2011 Complete Response Letter (“2011 CRL”), Alimera reported that it intends to resubmitOctober 17, 2013 after resubmitting its New Drug Application (“NDA”) for ILUVIEN for DMEDME. The resubmission responded to a second Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) received from the FDAU.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in early 2013. Alimera further reported that it intends to include additional analysisNovember 2011.
Medidur™, the Company’s lead development product, commenced the first of the benefits and risks of ILUVIEN based upon the clinical data from its two previously completedplanned pivotal Phase III clinical trials (the “FAME™ Study”) and to focus on the same indication for which regulatory approval has been granted in the various EU countries.
In June 2011, the Company amended and restated its 2007 collaborative research and license agreement with Pfizer, Inc.(“Pfizer”) to focus solely on the development of an injectable bioerodible sustained-release Durasert implant to deliver latanoprost for the treatment of patients with ocular hypertensionchronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye (“posterior uveitis”) in June 2013. Medidur uses the same Durasert micro-insert used in ILUVIEN and glaucomadelivers a lower dose of the same drug as the Company’s FDA-approved Retisert® for posterior uveitis. The Company is developing Medidur independently.
The Company is also developing a bioerodible, injectable micro-insert delivering latanoprost (the “Latanoprost Product”). The Company granted to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Under an amended collaboration agreement, Pfizer has an exclusive option, under variouscertain circumstances, to license the development and commercialization of the Latanoprost Product worldwide.
The Company is currently developing a prototypeengaged in pre-clinical research with respect to both its BioSilicon and Durasert technology platforms. The primary focus of this implant that containsthe BioSilicon to assisttechnology research is the sustained delivery, using Tethadur™, of peptides, proteins, antibodies and other large biologic molecules in both ophthalmic and non-ophthalmic applications. The Company’s research program also includes the use of Durasert technology in orthopedic applications and for systemic delivery of latanoprost.therapeutic agents.
The Company’s two FDA-approved products utilizing earlier generations of the Durasert technology system, second-generation productRetisert® for theprovides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and first-generation Vitrasert® for the treatment of AIDS-related cytomegalovirus (“CMV”) retinitis, have beena half years and is licensed to and sold by Bausch & Lomb Incorporated (“Bausch & Lomb”).Lomb.
BioSilicon, the Company’s other principal technology system, is a fully-erodible, nanostructured, porous silicon designed to provide sustained delivery of various therapeutics, including small drug molecules, proteins and peptides. Based on results of its preliminary studies, the Company is currently targeting BioSilicon as a second key drug delivery technology.
The Company is subject to risks, including, but not limited to, the ability of Alimera to successfully complete pricing and reimbursement discussions and to successfully finance and execute the direct commercialization of ILUVIEN for DME in the applicable EU countries, from which the Company is entitled to a share of net profits, as defined; the ability of Alimera to achieve FDA approval of ILUVIEN for DME
following its planned NDA resubmission and if so, to successfully commercialize the product in the U.S.; the Company’s ability, and that of its collaboration partners, to obtain adequate financing to fund its and their respective operations through collaborations, sales of securities or otherwise, to successfully advance research, pre-clinical and clinical development of, and obtain regulatory approvals for, product candidates utilizing the Company’s technologies and to successfully commercialize them, to protect proprietary technologies, to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations and approval requirements and to execute on business strategies; competitive products and new disease treatments; and dependence on key personnel.
The Company has a history of operating losses and has financed its operations in recent years primarily from the proceeds of sales of its equity securities and the receipt of license fees, research and development funding, royalties and contingent cash payments from its collaboration partners, and from sales of equity securities. The Company’s future operating results are expected to depend, among other things, upon the success of, consideration received from, and revenue recognition associated with, and costs of, product research, development and commercialization by the Company and its current and any potential future collaborative partners. The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $14.6$10.3 million at June 30, 2012,2013, together with $4.7$9.9 million of net proceeds received from a registered directan underwritten public offering of common shares and warrants consummated in August 2012July 2013 and expected Retisert royalty income shouldand
other expected cash inflows under existing collaboration agreements, will enable the Company to maintain its current and planned operations through calendar year 2013.2014. This includes expected costs through that date of Phase III clinical trials of the posterior uveitis micro-insert, but excludes any potential milestone or net profit receipts under the Alimera collaboration agreement. The Company’s financial resources could be significantly improved if ILUVIEN for DME is approved by the FDA, which would entitle the Company to a $25.0 million milestone payment, or if Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU or, if approved, in the U.S. The Company’s ability to fund its planned operations internally beyond then,2014, including completion of planned Phase III trials of the posterior uveitis micro-insert, may be substantially dependent upon whether Alimera successfully commercializes ILUVIEN for DME in the EU and if and when ILUVIEN for DME is approved by the FDA and successfully commercialized in the U.S., although even so,expected to depend on the amount and timing of the Company’s receipt ofcash receipts under existing collaboration agreements, as well as any revenues from such activities is uncertain.future collaboration or other agreements and/or financing transactions.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of pSivida Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30 of each year. The years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 2011 and 20102011 may be referred to herein as fiscal 2013, fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, and fiscal 2010, respectively. Throughout these financial statements, references to “US$” and “$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “A$” are to Australian dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts and disclosure of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant management estimates and assumptions include, among others, those related to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements, recoverability of intangible assets, realization of deferred tax assets and the valuation of stock option awards. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of each entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates - the U.S. dollar or the Pound Sterling.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated at period-end exchange rates. Amounts included in the statements of operationscomprehensive loss and cash flows are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses from currency translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to foreign currency translation was $921,000 at June 30, 2013 and $950,000 at June 30, 2012 and
$1.4 million at June 30, 2011.2012. Foreign currency gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, whether realized or unrealized, are recorded in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operationscomprehensive loss and were not significant for all periods presented.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, principally consisting of institutional money market funds.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of investments with an original or remaining maturity of greater than ninety days at the date of purchase. The Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly,available-for-sale. Accordingly, the Company records these investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and temporary losses excluded from earnings and reported, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. If it is determinedthe Company determines that a decline of any investment is other-than-temporary, the investment would beis written down to fair value. As of June 30, 20122013 and 2011,2012, there were no investments in a significant unrealized loss position. The fair value of marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet dates of the same or similar instruments. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts through to the earlier of sale or maturity. Such amortization and accretion amounts are included in interest income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.comprehensive loss. The cost of marketable securities sold is determined by the specific identification method.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. At June 30, 2012, substantially2013, all of the Company’s interest-bearing cash equivalent balances, aggregating approximately $4.3$6.3 million, were concentrated in one institutional money market fund that has investments consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, time deposits, U.S. government agency securities, treasury bills and treasury repurchase agreements. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. Marketable securities at June 30, 20122013 consist of investment-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper and certificates of deposit.paper. The Company’s investment policy, approved by the Board of Directors, includes guidelines relative to diversification and maturities designed to preserve principal and liquidity.
Pfizer accounted for $368,000, or 17%, of total revenues in fiscal 2013, $754,000, or 21%, of total revenues in fiscal 2012 and $3.3 million, or 67%, of total revenues in fiscal 2011. Bausch & Lomb accounted for $1.4 million, or 64%, of total revenues in fiscal 2013, $1.4 million, or 41%, of total revenues in fiscal 2012 and $1.4 million, or 27%, of total revenues in fiscal 2011. Alimera
Bausch & Lomb accounted for approximately $22.3 million,$316,000, or 97%53%, of total revenues in fiscal 2010.accounts receivable at June 30, 2013 and $442,000, or 46%, of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2012.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
Accounts and Other Receivables
Receivables consist primarily of (i) quarterly royalties earned; (ii) accrued interest on marketable securities; and (iii) U.K. research and development tax credits.credits; and (iii) accrued interest on marketable securities.
Debt and Equity Instruments
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Warrants issued in connection with share issues that arewere denominated in a currency
(A$) other than the Company’s functional currency (US$) are, the last of which expired in July 2012, were treated as derivative liabilities, reflecting the variable amount of functional currency to be received upon potential exercise. After initial recognition, subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities arewere recorded in the consolidated statements of operationscomprehensive loss in each reporting period. Fair value iswas determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally three years). Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remaining non-cancellable lease term or the useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Leases
Leases are classified at their inception as either operating or capital leases based on the economic substance of the agreement. Lease payments made under operating leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rentals are recognized as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
The Company’s finite life intangible assets include its acquired Durasert and BioSilicon patented technologies, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over twelve years. The intangible asset lives were determined based upon the anticipated period that the Company will derive future cash flows from the intangible assets, considering the effects of legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive and other economic factors. The Company continually monitors whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate that the remaining estimated useful life of its intangible assets may warrant revision. The Company assesses potential impairments to its intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset isare less than its carrying value. If the Company considers an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment charge to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment charge related to its Durasert and BioSilicon technologies (see Note 4).
Revenue Recognition
Collaborative Research and Development and Multiple-Deliverable Arrangements
The Company enters into collaborative arrangements with strategic partners for the development and commercialization of product candidates utilizing the Company’s technologies. The terms of these agreements have typically included multiple deliverables by the Company (for example, license rights, research and development services and manufacturing of clinical materials) in exchange for consideration to the Company of some combination of non-refundable license fees, research and development funding, payments based upon achievement of clinical development or other milestones and royalties in the form of a designated percentage of product sales or profits.
Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Multiple-deliverable arrangements, such as license and development agreements, are analyzed to determine whether the deliverables can be separated or whether they must be accounted for as a single unit of accounting. When deliverables are separable, consideration received is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on the relative selling price method and the appropriate revenue recognition principles are applied to each unit. When the Company determines that
an arrangement should be accounted for as a single unit of accounting, it must determine the period over which the performance obligations will be performed and revenue will be recognized.
The Company estimates its performance period used for revenue recognition based on the specific terms of each agreement, and adjusts the performance periods, if appropriate, based on the applicable facts and circumstances. Significant management judgment may be required to determine the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations
under the arrangement. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate when its performance obligations either are completed or become inconsequential, then revenue recognition is deferred until the Company can reasonably make such estimates. Revenue is then recognized over the remaining estimated period of performance using the cumulative catch-up method.
The Company prospectively adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605);Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (“ASU 2009-13”) for new and materially modified arrangements originating on or after July 1, 2010. ASU 2009-13 provides updated guidance on how the deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and how consideration should be allocated, and it changes the level of evidence of standalone selling price required to separate deliverables by allowing a vendor to make its best estimate of the standalone selling price of deliverables when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price is not available.
In June 2011, the Company materially modified its 2007 Collaborative Research and License Agreement with Pfizer, and the Company applied the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to this arrangement. The accounting for all the Company’s other existing arrangements will continue under the prior accounting standards unless an arrangement is materially modified. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 had a material impact on the Company’s financial results, increasing collaborative research and development revenues by $3.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to what would have been recognized had the Company continued to apply prior revenue recognition guidance.
Royalties
Royalty income is recognized upon the sale of the related products, provided that the royalty amounts are fixed andor determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured and the Company has no remaining performance obligations under the arrangement. Such revenues are included as royalty income.
If royalties are received when the Company has remaining performance obligations, the royalty payments would be attributed to the services being provided under the arrangement and therefore revenue would be recognized as such performance obligations are performed. Such revenues are included as collaborative research and development revenues.
Reimbursement of Costs
The Company may provide research and development services under collaboration arrangements to assist in advancing the development of licensed products. The Company acts primarily as a principal in these transactions, and, accordingly, amounts received are classified as a component of revenue to be recognized consistent with the revenue recognition policy summarized above. The Company records the expenses incurred and reimbursed on a gross basis.
Deferred Revenue
Amounts received prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts not expected to be recognized within one year following the balance sheet date are classified as non-current deferred revenue.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. These costs include all direct costs, including cash compensation, stock-based compensation and benefits for research and development personnel, amortization of intangible assets, supplies and materials, direct external costs including costs of clinical trials, clinical materials, pre-clinical programs, regulatory affairs, external consultants, and other operational costs related to the Company’s research and development of its product candidates.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company may award stock options and other equity-based instruments to its employees, directors and consultants pursuant to stockholder-approved plans. Compensation cost related to such awards is based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date and is recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, on a graded vesting basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.
Net (Loss) Income per Share
Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For periods in which the Company reports net income, diluted net income per share is determined by adding to the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding the average number of dilutive common equivalent shares using the treasury stock method, unless the effect is anti-dilutive.
The calculation of shares used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share is as follows:

Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income is comprised of net (loss) income, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities.
Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for the expected future impact of differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future benefit to be derived from tax credits and
loss carry forwards. Such deferred income tax computations are measured based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, none of the benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized for any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency. The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its income tax (expense) benefit.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
New accounting pronouncements are issued periodically by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise disclosed below, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued and adopted pronouncements will not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows or do not apply to the Company’s operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-5Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income,which provides new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income that will requireincome. This guidance requires a company to present components of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. There are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income (loss) or other comprehensive income under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adoptadopted this standardguidance for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and has presented the required information in fiscal quarter beginning July 1, 2012. The Company has not yet determined which method it will elect to presentone continuous statement of operations and comprehensive income under the new standard.loss on a comparative basis. Other than a change in presentation, the adoption of this guidance willdid not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3. | License and Collaboration Agreements |
Alimera
Under a collaboration agreement with Alimera, as amended in March 2008, (the “Alimera Agreement”), the Company licensed to Alimera the rights to develop, market and sell certain product candidates, including ILUVIEN.
In connection with the March 2008 amendment, the Company received $12.0 million in cash and a $15.0 million conditional, interest-bearing note, Alimera cancelled $5.7 million of accrued development cost liabilities then owed by the Company, Alimera agreed that it wouldto pay a $25.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of ILUVIEN for DME and would assumeassumed all financial responsibility for the development of licensed products under the Alimera Agreement, which had previously been shared equally.Agreement. In exchange,addition, the Company decreased itsis entitled to a 20% share inof any future net profits, as defined, on sales of ILUVIEN by Alimera, from 50% to 20%, measured quarterly on a country-by-country basis, subject to an offset of 20% of pre-profitability net losses, as defined, previously incurred by Alimera on a country-by-country basis. In the event that Alimera sublicenses commercialization, the Company is entitled to 20% of royalties and 33% of non-royalty consideration received by Alimera, less certain permitted deductions.
The Company consideredterms of the Alimera Agreement to be a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables and, having determined that its deliverables did not have stand-alone value, concluded that the deliverables represented a single unit of accounting. The terms of the collaboration agreement specifically defined the end period of the Company’s performance obligations as December 31, 2009 and, accordingly, the total initial
consideration of $18.3 million was deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the 21.5 month performance period ended December 31, 2009. Additional cash considerationAccordingly, amounts received from Alimera during the performance period, which consisted of conditional note interest payments and development cost reimbursements, was recognized as revenue during the performance period using the cumulative catch-up method. As a conditional payment obligation, the $15.0 million Alimera note was not recorded as an asset but instead treated by the Company as contingent future revenue consideration. Amounts received from Alimera subsequent to December 31, 2009, including payment in full of the conditional note in April 2010, have been, and any future milestone and profit share payments will be,thereafter are recognized as revenue upon receipt or at such earlier date, if applicable, on which any such amount is both fixed and determinable and reasonably assured of collectability.
Revenue related to the Alimera Agreement totaled $67,000 for fiscal 2013, $111,000 for fiscal 2012 and $192,000 for fiscal 2011 and $22.3 millionconsisted of reimbursements for fiscal 2010. These revenues represented substantially all of the Company’s collaborative researchlicensed patent and development revenue for fiscal 2010.costs.
Pfizer
In April 2007, the Company entered into a worldwide Collaborative Research and License Agreement (the “Original Pfizer Agreement”) with Pfizer for the use of certain of its technologies in ophthalmic applications that were not licensed to others. Commencing in calendar 2008, Pfizer paid the Company a minimum of $500,000 quarterly in consideration of the Company’s costs in performing the research program.
In June 2011, the Company and Pfizer entered into an Amended and Restated Collaborative Research and License agreement (the “Restated Pfizer Agreement”) to focus solely on the development of a sustained-release bioerodible micro-insert designed to deliver latanoprost for human ophthalmic disease or conditions other than uveitis (the “Latanoprost Product”).uveitis. The Originaloriginal Pfizer Agreementagreement was effectively terminated, including the cessation of Pfizer’s $500,000 quarterly funding of the research program. Upon execution of the Restated Pfizer Agreement, Pfizer made an upfront payment of $2.3 million and the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to fund development of the Latanoprost Product, with technical assistance from Pfizer, for at least one year and, thereafter, at the Company’s option, through completion of Phase II clinical trials, designated as Proof-of-Concept (“POC”). An investigator-sponsored Phase I/II dose-escalation study is ongoing to assess the safety and efficacy of this insert for patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Within 90 days following receipt of the Company’s final report demonstrating POC, Pfizer may exercise its option for an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product in return for a $20.0 million payment, double-digit sales-based royalties and additional development, regulatory and sales performance milestone payments of up to $146.5 million. If the Company elects to cease development of the Latanoprost Product after one year, but prior to completion of Phase II clinical trials, Pfizer would still have the right to exercise an option for an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product upon payment of a lesser option fee, with comparable
reductions in future sales-based royalties and other designated milestones. If Pfizer does not exercise its option, the Restated Pfizer Agreement will automatically terminate provided, however, that the Company will retain the right to develop and commercialize the Latanoprost Product on its own or with a partner.
Based upon the significant changes to the terms of the Originaloriginal Pfizer Agreement, which included (i) changes in the consideration payable by Pfizer; (ii) changes in the deliverables; and (iii) changes in the research program, which now is solely related to the Latanoprost Product,agreement, the Company considered the June 2011 Restated Pfizer Agreement a material modification and applied the guidance of ASU 2009-13 to this arrangement.
The Company’s deliverables under the Restated Pfizer Agreement include conducting the research and development program for the Latanoprost Product through completion of Phase II (the “R&D program”) and participation on a Joint Steering Committee (“JSC”). Having determined that the JSC does not have standalone value from the R&D program, the Company combined these deliverables into a single unit of accounting. The
performance period is the expected period over which the services of the combined unit are performed, which the Company currently expects will extend through approximately December 2014.
performed. The Company concluded that the Pfizer exercise option for the worldwide exclusive license is not a deliverable of the arrangement, because it is a substantive option and is not priced at a significant and incremental discount.
The total arrangement consideration of the Restated Pfizer Agreement totaled $10.05 million, which consisted of the $7.75 million of deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet at the effective date plus the $2.3 million upfront payment. The difference between the total arrangement consideration and the estimated selling price of the combined deliverables, or $3.3 million, was recognized as collaborative research and development revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the period of the modification. To determine the estimated selling price of the combined deliverable, the Company applied an estimated margin to its cost projections for the combined deliverable. The estimated selling price of $6.7 million is being recognized as collaborative research and development revenue over the expected performance period of 3.5 years using the proportional performance method. During fiscal 2013, the Company increased its estimate of the cumulative performance period from 4 to 6 years to provide for additional research under the agreement prior to commencement of Phase II clinical trials. As a result, the current portion of deferred revenue has been reduced to $371,000 at June 30, 2013 compared to $2.2 million at June 30, 2012. Total deferred revenue was $5.6 million at June 30, 2013 and $6.0 million at June 30, 2012. The Company recorded collaborative research and development revenue related to the Restated Pfizer Agreement of $368,000 in fiscal 2013, $754,000 in fiscal 2012 and $3.3 million in fiscal 2011. Costs associated with conducting the R&D program are reflected in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
If any subsequent payments are received from Pfizer, including exercise option, milestone and sales-based royalty consideration, which would occur after completion of the Company’s performance period under the Restated Pfizer Agreement, such payments would be recognized as revenue when all the revenue criteria are met.
Pfizer owned approximately 8.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares at June 30, 2013.
Bausch & Lomb
Pursuant to a licensing and development agreement, as amended, Bausch & Lomb has a worldwide exclusive license to make and sell the Company’s Retisert and Vitrasert products in return for royalties based on sales. Bausch & Lomb discontinued sales of Vitrasert in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Royalty income totaled approximately $1.4 million in each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2013. Accounts receivable from Bausch & Lomb totaled $316,000 at June 30, 2013 and $442,000 at June 30, 2012.
Enigma Therapeutics
The Company entered into an exclusive, worldwide royalty-bearing license agreement in December 2012, amended and restated in March 2013, with Enigma Therapeutics Limited (“Enigma”) for the development of BrachySil, a BioSilicon product candidate for the treatment of pancreatic and other types of cancer. The Company received an upfront fee of $100,000, included in collaborative research and development revenue, and
is entitled to an 8% sales-based royalty, 20% of sublicense consideration and milestones based on aggregate product sales. Enigma is obligated to pay an annual license maintenance fee of $100,000, creditable during the ensuing twelve months against reimbursable patent maintenance costs and sales-based royalties. The Company has no consequential performance obligations under the Enigma license agreement and, accordingly, any amounts to which the Company is entitled under the agreement will be recognized as revenue when the revenue recognition criteria are met. There was no balance of deferred revenue with respect to this agreement at June 30, 2013.
Intrinsiq
In January 2008, the Company and Intrinsiq Materials Cayman Limited (“Intrinsiq”) entered into an agreement pursuant to which Intrinsiq acquired an exclusive field-of-use license to develop and commercialize nutraceutical and food science applications of BioSilicon, and certain related assets, for $1.2 million. Provided the license agreement remained in effect, Intrinsiq was obligated to pay the Company aggregate minimum royalties of $3.55 million through April 2014, of which the first $450,000 was paid in July 2009.
The Company determined the performance period of the license arrangement to be 17 years, coinciding with the last to expire of the patents licensed to Intrinsiq, and recognized collaborative research and development revenue using the cumulative catch-up method.
In July 2011, Intrinsiq terminated the license agreement, and the Company consummated an asset purchase agreement, under which it acquired the BioSilicon-related capital equipment assets of Intrinsiq for $223,000, and employed four former Intrinsiq employees. The fair value of the tangible assets acquired approximated the total acquisition consideration. Coincident with the transaction, Intrinsiq terminated the agreements underlying its original 2008 license. The license termination resulted in the recognition of collaborative research and development revenue of $1.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2011, representing the total Intrinsiq deferred revenue balance at June 30, 2011, which had been classified as a current liability.2011. The Company recognized collaborative research and development revenue under the license agreement of $83,000 in fiscal 2011 and $121,000 in fiscal 2010.
Bausch & Lomb
The Company’s Retisert and Vitrasert products have been commercialized under a licensing and development agreement with Bausch & Lomb. Pursuant to the agreement as amended, Bausch & Lomb has a worldwide exclusive license to make and sell Vitrasert and the Company’s first-generation products (as defined in the agreement, including Retisert) in return for royalties based on sales.
Royalty income totaled $1.4 million in fiscal 2012, $1.4 million in fiscal 2011 and $483,000 in fiscal 2010. An additional $1.2 million of Retisert royalty income otherwise payable in fiscal 2010 was retained by Bausch &
Lomb pursuant to the completion of a 2005 royalty advance agreement. Accounts receivable from Bausch & Lomb totaled $442,000 at June 30, 2012 and $290,000 at June 30, 2011.

In the 2011 CRL, the FDA did not grant marketing approval for ILUVIEN for DME and, as a result, the Company did not receive a $25.0 million milestone payment from Alimera and Alimera was unable to market ILUVIEN for DME in the U.S. Following the public announcement of the 2011 CRL, there was a significant decline in the Company’s share price, resulting in a decrease of the Company’s market capitalization from $82.0 million immediately prior to the announcement to $23.1 million at December 31, 2011. The Company determined that the combination of the 2011 CRL and the decline in the Company’s share pricemarket capitalization were determined to be impairment indicators of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets.
As of December 31, 2011, the forecasted probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows for the intangible assets were not expected to be sufficient to recover the aggregate carrying value of $19.4 million, which consisted of $6.3 million for the Durasert technology and $13.1 million for the BioSilicon technology. To assess the recoverability of the combined intangible assets, management used a combination of market-based and income-based valuation methodologies. Using the market-based approach as the primary indicator of fair value, an enterprise value of $4.4 million (market capitalization less existing capital resources) was adjusted for an estimated control premium and for other working capital items to derive an implied fair value of the intangible assets of $4.6 million. Under the income-based approach, the forecasted cash flows expected for the intangible assets were discounted using after-tax cost of capital rates taking into account Company-specific risks. The resulting fair value under this approach supported the fair value determined under the market-based approach. Based on the above analyses, the fair value of the combined intangible assets was allocated to each intangible based on the values determined under the income-based approach, as follows:follows (in thousands):

7. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities with insufficient volume or infrequent transaction (less active markets).
Level 3—Inputs are unobservable estimates that are supported by little or no market activity and require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 on the basis of valuations using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs, respectively. Certain of the Company’s corporate debt securities were valued based on quoted prices for the specific securities in an active market and were therefore classified as Level 1. The remaining marketable securities have been valued on the basis of valuations provided by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security, and have been classified as Level 2. The Company’s A$ warrants, which expired during fiscal 2013, were derivative liabilities, are classified as Level 3 and valued using the Black-Scholes model.

At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $14.8 million intangible asset impairment charge related to its Durasert and BioSilicon technologies (see Note 4). These fair value measurements were determined using a combination of market-based and income-based valuation methodologies, which incorporate unobservable inputs, thereby classifying the fair value as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The primary input used in the market-based approach was a 15% control premium that the Company estimated would be used by a market participant in valuing these assets. The primary inputs used in the income-based approach included after-tax weighted average cost of capital rates ranging from 10% to 20% that the Company estimated would be used by a market participant.

2008 Incentive Plan
The pSivida Corp. 2008 Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) permits the issuance of stock-based awards to directors, executives, employees and consultants. Awards may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, deferred stock, performance awards, convertible securities and cash grants. At June 30, 2012,2013, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan was 4,091,255,4,841,255, of which 807,6531,056,459 shares were available for grant under the 2008 Plan.new awards. The 2008 Plan includes an “evergreen provision” that allows for an annual increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. On the first day of each fiscal year until July 1, 2017, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan will be increased by the least of (i) 750,000 shares; (ii) 4% of the then outstanding shares of common stock; and (iii) any such lesser amount of shares of common stock as is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The number of shares reserved for issuance increased by 750,000 shares on July 1, 2012.2013.
Options to purchase a total of 768,350616,760 shares were granted during fiscal 20122013 at exercise prices equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) on the respective option grant dates. Of this total, options to purchase 533,350411,760 shares were issued to employees with ratable annual vesting over 4 years, options to purchase 135,00060,000 shares were issued to non-employeea non-executive director with ratable annual vesting over 3 years and options to purchase 145,000 shares were issued to non-executive directors with 1-year cliff vesting and options to purchase 100,000 shares were issued subject to both performance and service condition vesting. All options have a 10-year life.
The Company measures the fair value of options on their grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Based upon limited option exercise history, the Company has generally used the “simplified” method outlined in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to estimate the expected life of stock option grants. Management believes that the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price on NASDAQ, for which there has been trading history for approximately 7.58.5 years, best represents the expected volatility over the estimated life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based upon published U.S. Treasury yield curve rates at the date of grant corresponding to the expected life of the stock option. An assumed dividend yield of zero reflects the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no intentions to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
The key assumptions used to apply the option pricing model for options granted under the 2008 Plan during the years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 2011 and 20102011 were as follows:
2012 | 2011 | 2010 | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Option life (in years) | 3.50 - 6.25 | 3.50 - 6.25 | 5.50 - 6.25 | 5.50 - 6.25 | 3.50 - 6.25 | 3.50 - 6.25 | ||||||
Stock volatility | 88% - 97% | 95% | 95% | 95% - 98% | 88% - 97% | 95% | ||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.53% - 2.02% | 1.13% - 2.35% | 2.36% - 2.62% | 0.81% - 0.98% | 0.53% - 2.02% | 1.13% - 2.35% | ||||||
Expected dividends | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of options that are expected to vest. Based on historical trends, the Company applies estimated forfeiture rates to determine the numbers of awards that are expected to vest. Additional expense is recorded if the actual forfeiture rate for each tranche of option grants is lower than estimated, and a recovery of prior expense is recorded if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated. The Company assesses the forfeiture rate at the end of each reporting period. The Company begins to record stock-based compensation expense for performance-based options at the time it becomes probable that the respective performance conditions will be achieved. The Company will continuecontinues to recognize the grant date fair value of performance-based options through the vesting date of the respective awards so long as it remains probable that the related performance conditions will be satisfied. In fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a reversal ofreversed $121,000 of expense for performance-based option awardsoptions that were forfeited during fiscal 2012.in that year.
