For each period presented, BND has been an inactive subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of estimates in financial statements

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company reviews all significant estimates affecting the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and records the effect of any necessary adjustments prior to their issuance. Significant estimates ofmade by the Company include: revenue recognition associated with sales allowances such as returns of product sold, government program rebates, customer coupon redemptions, wholesaler/pharmacy discounts, product service fees, rebates and chargebacks,chargebacks; sales bonuses,bonuses; stock-based compensation,compensation; determination of fair values of assets and liabilities in connection withrelating to business combinations,combinations; and deferred income taxes.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating and money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

1. Organization, basis of presentation and summary of significant policies (continued):

Revenue recognition

Product salesThe main types of revenue contracts are:

As discussed further below in Note 2, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”) and began recognizing revenue under the new accounting guidance on that date. Under the new accounting guidance,

Product sales-Product sales amounts relate to sales of BELBUCA, Symproic and BUNAVAIL. These sales are recognized as revenue when control is transferred to the wholesaler in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received.

Product royalty revenues-Product royalty revenue amounts are based on sales revenue of the PAINKYL product under the Company’s license agreement with TTY and the BREAKYL product under the Company’s license agreement with Meda AB, which was acquired by Mylan N.V. (which we refer to herein as Mylan). Product royalty revenues are recognized when control of the product is transferred to the license partner in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received. Supplemental sales-based product royalty revenue may also be earned upon the subsequent sale of the product at agreed upon contractual rates.

Contract revenue-Contract revenue amounts are related to milestone payments under the Company’s license agreements with its partners.

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales when control of the promised goods is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring those goods. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the goods, the Company considers any future performance obligations. Generally, there is no post-shipment obligations on product sold.

Performance obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Topic 606.customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s product sales contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. The multiple performance obligations are not allocated based off of the obligations but based off of standard selling price.

Adjustments to product sales

The Company recognizes product sales net of estimated allowances for rebates, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, vouchers and prompt payment discounts. A significant majority of the Company’s adjustments to gross product revenues are the result of accruals for its commercial contracts, retail consumer subsidy programs, and Medicaid rebates.

The Company establishes allowances for estimated rebates, chargebacks and product returns based on numerous qualitative and quantitative factors, including:

 

the number of and specific contractual terms of agreements with customers;

 

estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel;

BIODELIVERY SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(U.S. DOLLARS, IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(Unaudited)

 

historical rebates, chargebacks and returns of products;

 

direct communication with customers;

 

anticipated introduction of competitive products or generics;

 

anticipated pricing strategy changes by the Company and/or its competitors;

 

analysis of prescription data gathered by a third-party prescription data provider;

 

the impact of changes in state and federal regulations; and

 

the estimated remaining shelf life of products.

In its analyses, theThe Company uses prescription data purchased from a third-party data provider to develop estimates of historical inventory channel sell-through. The Company utilizes an internal analysis to compare historical net product shipments (shipments less returns) to estimated historical prescriptions written. Based on that analysis, management develops an estimate of the quantity of product in the channel which may be subject to various rebate, chargeback and product return exposures. To estimate months of ending inventory in the Company’s distribution channel, the Company divides estimated ending inventory in the distribution channel by the Company’s recent prescription data, not considering any future anticipated demand growth.growth beyond the succeeding quarter. Monthly for each product line, the Company prepares an internal estimate of ending inventory units in the distribution channel by adding estimated inventory in the channel at the beginning of the period, plus net product shipments for the period, less estimated prescriptions written for the period. This is done for each product line by applying a rate of historical activity for rebates, chargebacks and product returns, adjusted for relevant quantitative and qualitative factors discussed above, to the potential exposed product estimated to be in the distribution channel. In addition, the Company receives daily information from the wholesalers regarding their sales and actual on hand inventory levels of the Company’s products. This enables the Company to execute accurate provisioning procedures.

1. Organization, basis of presentation and summary of significant policies (continued):

Product returns-Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers contractual return rights that allow its customers to return the products within an18-month period that begins six months prior to and ends twelve months after expiration of the products.

Rebates- The accrual to payment cycleliability for returns is longer and can take several years depending on the expiration of the related products.

Rebates-The liability forgovernment program rebates is calculated based on historical and current rebate redemption and utilization rates contractually submitted by each program’s administrator.

Price adjustments and chargebackschargebacks--TheThe Company’s estimates of price adjustments and chargebacks are based on its estimated mix of sales to various third-party payers, which are entitled either contractually or statutorily to discounts from the Company’s listed prices of its products. If the sales mix to third-party payers is different from the Company’s estimates, the Company willmay be required to pay higher or lower total price adjustments and/or chargebacks than it had estimated.estimated, and such differences may be significant.

The Company, from time to time, offers certain promotional product-related incentives to its customers. TheseThe Company has voucher programs include certain product incentives to pharmacy customersfor BELBUCA, Symproic and BUNAVAIL whereby the Company offers apoint-of-sale subsidy to retail consumers. The Company estimates its liabilities for these voucher programs based on the actualcurrent utilization and historical redemption rates as reported to the Company by a third-party claims processing organization. The Company accounts for the costs of these special promotional programs as price adjustments, which are a reduction of gross revenue.

Prompt payment discounts-The Company typically offers its wholesale customers a prompt payment discount of 2% as an incentive to remit payments within a specifiedprescribed number of days after the invoice date depending on the agreementcustomer and the products purchased.

Gross to net accruals-A significant majority of the Company’s gross to net adjustments to gross product revenues are the result of accruals for its voucher program and rebates related to Medicare Part D, Part D Coverage Gap, Medicaid and commercial contracts, with most of those programs having an accrual to payment cycle of anywhere from one to three months. In addition to this relatively short accrual to payment cycle, the Company receives daily information from the wholesalers regarding their sales of the Company’s products and actual on hand inventory levels of its products. This enables the Company to execute accurate provisioning procedures. Consistent with the customer.pharmaceutical industry, the accrual to payment cycle for returns is longer and can take several years depending on the expiration of the related products.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes the direct costs attributable to the production of BELBUCA®and BUNAVAIL®.BUNAVAIL. It includes raw materials, production costs at the Company’s three contract manufacturing sites, quality testing directly related to the products, and depreciation on equipment that the Company has purchased to produce BELBUCA® and BUNAVAIL®. It also includes any batches not meeting specifications and raw material yield losses which are expensed as incurred. Cost of sales also includes royalty expenses that the Company owes to third parties.

Reclassification

Certain amounts were reclassified between Provision for inventory obsolescence, Accounts receivable, Inventories and Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net cash flows from operations, activities or net losses.

Recent accounting pronouncements-issued, not yet adopted

ASU2016-02, issued on February 25, 2016, is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets referred to as “Lessees” to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. An organization is to provide disclosures designed to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements concerning additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.

However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases (i.e., operating and capital leases) to be recognized on the balance sheet. The FASB lessee accounting model will continue to account for both types of leases. The capital lease will be accounted for in substantially the same manner as capital leases are accounted for under existing GAAP. The operating lease will be accounted for in a manner similar to operating leases under existing GAAP, except that lessees will recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all of those leases. The new standard requires a modified-retrospective approach to adoption and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019 but may be adopted earlier. The Company expects to adopt this standard beginning in 2019. The Company does not expect that this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations, but the Company does expect that upon adoption, this standard will impact the carrying value of its assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets as a result of the requirement to record

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company is currently assessingmeasures the impactfair value of adopting this ASU on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue from contracts with customers:

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606. The Company elected to apply the standard using the modified retrospective method beginning January 1, 2018. The Company applied this guidance only to those contracts that were not completed at the date of adoption. As a result of adoption, the cumulative impact to the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2018 was $0.135 million. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new standard on its existing contracts to be immaterial to the Company’s net income on an ongoing basis, however additional disclosures have been addedinstruments in accordance with GAAP which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

GAAP defines fair value as the ASU.exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company considers the carrying amount of its cash and cash equivalents to approximate fair value due to short-term nature of this instrument. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

The following table summarizes the cash and cash equivalents measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019:

The cash and cash equivalent balance as of June 30, 2019 includes investments in various money market accounts and cash held in interest bearing accounts.

Research and development

As of January 1, 2019, the Company does not anticipate any significant changeshas focused entirely on commercialized products rather than research and development. As such, there were no expenses incurred in research and development during the timing or amount of revenue recognizedsix months ended June 30, 2019. Research and development expense for the Company’s product sales and relatedgross-to-net adjustments under Topic 606. The Company’s net product sales continue to be recognized when delivery has occurred, and itsgross-to-net adjustments are estimated and recorded in the accounting period related to when sales occur in the manner fundamentally consistent with the Company’s prior accounting methodology.

Under the new standard, timing for recognition of certain contract revenue may be accelerated such that a portion of revenue will be estimated and recognized in revenue earlier than the previous accounting standards. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recorded financing revenue for two milestones that are not due until 2020 and 2023, respectively.was $3.3 million.

2. Leases:

The main typescomponents of revenue contracts are:lease expense were as follows:

3. Liquidity and management’s plans:

At June 30, 2018, the Company had cash of approximately $55.7 million. The Company used $11.7 million of cash in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and had stockholders’ equity of $40.7 million, versus stockholders’ equity of $8.9 million at December 31, 2017. The Company expects that it has sufficient cash to manage the business as currently planned into the second quarter of 2020 which would provide sufficient capital necessary to support the continued commercialization of BELBUCA® and BUNAVAIL®.

On May 17, 2018, the Company executed agreements relating to the Company’s registered direct offering, issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series BNon-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 21, 2018, the Company closed the offering, which yielded net proceeds of $47.9 million to the Company.

The Company’s cash on hand estimation assumes the availability of the foregoing capital sources and further assumes that the Company does not otherwise face unexpected events, costs or contingencies, any of which could affect the Company’s cash requirements from time to time. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, potentially resulting in the need for additional funding. Additional funding, capital or loans (including, without limitation, milestone or other payments from commercialization agreements) may be unavailable on favorable terms, if at all, which could leave the Company without adequate capital resources.

Options granted to employees vest ratably over a three-year period.period and options granted to members of the Board of Directors vest ratably through 2022. The fair value of each option is amortized as compensation expense evenly through the vesting period.

The Company’s stock-based compensation expense is allocated between research and development and selling, general and administrative as follows:

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Common Stock, and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options.

Expected term of options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term.

Series B Preferred Stock Financing

On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement with William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as placement agent, relating to the Company’s registered direct offering, issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5,000 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock that the Board of Directors of the Company has designated asSeries B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). All of the shares were sold by the Company. The placement agency agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Placement Agent. The closing of the offering was completed on May 21, 2018. The shares sold in the offering were issued pursuant to a shelf registration statement, as amended, that the Company filed with the SEC, which became effective on July 13, 2015.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share determined by dividing $10,000 by a conversion price of $1.80 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends as provided in the Certificate of Designation) at any time following stockholder approval, which occurred at the annual shareholder meeting on August 2, 2018. As of the closing, the aggregate outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible (upon stockholder approval) into an aggregate 27,777,778 shares of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock does not contain any price-based anti-dilution protection. The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time after stockholder approval at the option of the holder, except that a holder will be prohibited from converting shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, which percentage may be increased or decreasedon sixty-one (61) days’ notice from the holder of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company provided that, until stockholder approval, such beneficial ownership limitation may only be increased to up to 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

Within ten (10) days following the date of stockholder approval, the Company has the right to deliver a notice to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to require conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, provided that certain conditions with respect to the Common Stock are satisfied. Such forced conversion shall be subject to a holder’s beneficial ownership limitation of 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. Following an initial forced conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, every ninety (90) days thereafter, the Company has the right to require the forced conversion of the still outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock up to the beneficial ownership limitation of 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

Warrants

The Company has granted warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.

The fair value of each warrant grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Common Stock, and other factors estimated over the expected term of the warrants.

Expected term of warrants granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus contract term. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. A cumulative total of 2,136,020 shares underlying warrants to purchase Common Stock are outstanding as of June 30, 2018 with a weighted average exercise price of $2.60 per share.

The Company is involved from time to time in routine legal matters incidental to our business. Based upon available information, the Company believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. Except as discussed below, the Company is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings and, to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against the Company by any federal, state or local governmental agency.

Indivior (formerly RB Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) and Aquestive Therapeutics (formerly MonoSol Rx)

The following disclosure regarding the Company’s ongoing litigations with Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly MonoSol Rx, “Aquestive”) and Indivior PLC (formerly RB Pharmaceuticals Limited, “Indivior”) is intended to provide some background and an update on the matter as required by the rules of the SEC. Additional details regarding the past procedural history of the matter can be found in the Company’s previously filed periodic filings with the SEC.

Litigation related to BUNAVAIL®

On October 29, 2013, Reckitt Benckiser, Inc., Indivior, and Aquestive (collectively, the “RB Plaintiffs”) filed an action against the Company relating to its BUNAVAIL product in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (“EDNC”) for alleged patent infringement. BUNAVAIL is a drug approved for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. The RB Plaintiffs claim that the formulation for BUNAVAIL, which has never been disclosed publicly, infringes its US Patent No. 8,475,832 (the “‘832 Patent”). On May 21, 2014, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss.

On January 22, 2014, Aquestive initiated an inter partes review (“IPR”) on U.S. Patent No. 7,579,019, the (“‘019 Patent”). The PTAB upheld all claims of the Company’s ‘019 Patent in 2015 and this decision was not appealed by Aquestive.

On September 20, 2014, the Company proactively filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the EDNC requesting the Court to make a determination that the Company’s BUNAVAIL product does not infringe the ‘832 Patent, US Patent No. 7,897,080 (the “‘080 Patent”) and US Patent No. 8,652,378 (the “‘378 Patent”). The Company invalidated the “‘080 Patent” in its entirety in an inter partes reexamination proceeding. The Company invalidated all relevant claims of the ‘832 Patent in an IPR proceeding. And, in an IPR proceeding for the ‘378 Patent, in its decision not to institute the IPR proceeding, the PTAB construed the claims of the ‘378 Patent narrowly. Shortly thereafter, by joint motion of the parties, the ‘378 Patent was subsequently removed from the action.

On June 6, 2016, in an unrelated case in which Indivior and Aquestive asserted the ‘832 Patent against other parties, the Delaware District Court entered an order invalidating other claims in the ‘832 Patent. Indivior and Aquestive cross-appealed all adverse findings in that decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in CaseNo. 17-2587. The Company’s declaratory judgment action remains stayed pending the outcome of that cross-appeal by Indivior and Aquestive.

On September 22, 2014, Reckitt Benckiser, Inc., RB Pharmaceuticals Limited, and Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (“Aquestive”) (collectively, the “RB Plaintiffs”) the RB Plaintiffs filed an action against the Company (and the Company’s commercial partner) relating to the Company’s BUNAVAIL®product in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for alleged patent infringement. The RB Plaintiffs claim that BUNAVAIL,®, whose formulation and manufacturing processes have never been disclosed publicly, infringes its patent U.S. Patent No. 8,765,167 (the “‘167 Patent”). The Company believes this is an anticompetitive attempt by the RB Plaintiffs to distract the Company’s efforts from commercializing BUNAVAIL®.BUNAVAIL. On December 12, 2014, the Company filed a motion to transfer the case from New Jersey to North Carolina and a motion to dismiss the case against its commercial partner. The Court issued an opinion on July 21, 2015 granting the Company’s motion to transfer the venue to the United States District for the Eastern District of North Carolina (“EDNC”) but denying the Company’s motion to dismiss the case against the Company’s commercial partner as moot. The Company has also filed a Joint Motion to Stay the case in the EDNC at the end of April 2016, which was granted by the court on May 5, 2016. Thus, the case is now stayed until a final resolution of the ‘167 Patentinter partesreview (“IPR”) in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”).

12. Commitments and contingencies (continued):

In a related matter, onOn October 28, 2014, the Company filed multiple IPR petitions on certain claims of the ‘167 Patent. The USPTO instituted three of the four IPR petitions. The PTAB upheld the claims and denied collateral estoppel applied to the PTAB decisions in March 2016. The Company appealed to Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The USPTO intervened with respect to whether collateral estoppel applied to the PTAB. The Federal Circuit did not issue an affirmance without opinion after the February 7, 2018 oral argument. On June 19, 2018, the Company filed a motion to remand the case for further consideration by the PTAB in view of intervening authority. On July 31, 2018, the Federal Circuit vacated the decisions, and remanded the ‘167 Patent IPRs for further consideration on the merits. On February 7, 2019, the PTAB issued three decisions on remand purporting to deny institution of the three previously instituted IPRs of the ‘167 patent. On March 11, 2019, the Company timely appealed the PTAB decisions on remand to U.S. Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit. On March 20, 2019, Aquestive and Indivior moved to dismiss the appeal, and the Company opposed that motion.

Litigation related to BELBUCA®

On January 13, 2017, Aquestive filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging BELBUCA® infringes the ‘167 Patent. In lieu of answering the complaint, the Company filed motions to dismiss the complaint and, in the alternative, to transfer the case to the EDNC. Briefing on the motions was completed on June 21, 2017. On July 25, 2017, the New Jersey Court administratively terminated the case pending the parties submission of a joint stipulation of transfer because the District of New Jersey was an inappropriate venue. This case was later transferred to the Delaware District Court. On October 31, 2017, the Company filed motions to dismiss the complaint and, in the alternative, to transfer the case to the EDNC. Briefing onOn October 16, 2018, denying the motions was completed on December 8, 2017. The Company anticipates receiving a decision on the motions frommotion to dismiss as moot, the Delaware District Court bygranted the 4th quarter ofCompany’s motion to transfer the case to the EDNC. On November 20, 2018, or the 1st quarter of 2019.Company moved the EDNC to dismiss the complaint for patent infringement for failure to state a claim for relief. On August 6, 2019, the EDNC granted the Company’s motion to dismiss, and dismissed the complaint without prejudice. The Company strongly refutes as without merit Aquestive’s assertion of patent infringement and will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (formerly Actavis)

On February 8, 2016, the Company received a notice relating to a Paragraph IV certification from Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, or (formerly Actavis, “Teva”) seeking to find invalid three Orange Book listed patents relating specifically to BUNAVAIL. The Paragraph IV certification related to an ANDA filed by Teva with the FDA for a generic formulation of BUNAVAIL. The patents subject to Teva’s certification were the ‘019 Patent, U.S. Patent No. 8,147,866 (the “‘866 Patent”) and 8,703,177 (the “‘177 Patent”).

On March 18, 2016, the Company asserted three different patents against Teva, the ‘019 Patent, the ‘866 Patent, and the ‘177 Patent. Teva did not raisenon-infringement positions about the ‘019 and the ‘866 Patents in its Paragraph IV certification. Teva did raise anon-infringement position on the ‘177 Patent but the Company asserted in its complaint that Teva infringed the ‘177 Patent either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.

On December 20, 2016 the USPTO issued U.S. Patent No. 9,522,188 (“the “‘188 Patent””), and this patent was properly listed in the Orange Book as covering the BUNAVAIL product. On February 23, 2017 Teva sent a Paragraph IV certification adding the 9,522,188 to its ANDA. An amended Complaint was filed, adding the ‘188 Patent to the litigation.

On January 31, 2017, the Company received a notice relating to a Paragraph IV certification from Teva relating to Teva’s ANDA on additional strengths of BUNAVAIL and on March 16, 2017, the Company brought suit against Teva and its parent company on these additional strengths. On June 20, 2017, the Court entered orders staying both BUNAVAIL suits at the request of the parties.

On May 23, 2017, the USPTO issued U.S. Patent 9,655,843 (the “‘843 Patent”) relating to the BEMA technology, and this patent was properly listed in the Orange Book as covering the BUNAVAIL product.

Finally, on October 12, 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Teva that resolved the Company’s BUNAVAIL patent litigation against Teva pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the Settlement Agreement, which is subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Company has entered into anon-exclusive license agreement with Teva that permits Teva to first begin selling its generic version of BUNAVAIL in the U.S. on July 23, 2028 or earlier under certain circumstances. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.

The Company received notices regarding Paragraph IV certifications from Teva on November 8, 2016, November 10, 2016, and December 22, 2016, seeking to find invalid two Orange Book listed patents relating specifically to BELBUCA®.BELBUCA. The Paragraph IV certifications relatedrelate to three ANDAs filed by Teva with the FDA for a generic formulation of BELBUCA®.BELBUCA. The patents subject to Teva’s certification were U.S.the ‘019 Patent No. 7,579,019 (the “‘019 Patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 8,147,866 (the “‘866 Patent”) . Under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments, after receipt of a valid Paragraph IV notice, the Company brought a patent infringement suit in federal district court against Teva USA within 45 days from the date of receipt of the certification notice.‘866 Patent. The Company filed complaints in Delaware against Teva on December 22, 2016 and February 3, 2017 thusin which it asserted against Teva the ‘019 Patent and the ‘866 Patent. Teva did not contest infringement of the claims of the ‘019 Patent and did not contest infringement of the claims of the ‘866 Patent.

In February 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Teva that resolved the Company’s BELBUCA® patent litigation against Teva pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the settlement agreement, which is subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Company has granted Teva anon-exclusive license (for which the Company will receive no current or future payments) that permits Teva to first begin selling the generic version of the Company’s BELBUCA® product in the U.S. on January 23, 2027 or earlier under certain circumstances (including, for example, upon (i) the delisting of thepatents-in-suit from the U.S. FDA Orange Book, (ii) the granting of a license by us to a third party to launch another generic form of BELBUCA® at a date prior to January 23, 2027, or (iii) the occurrence of certain conditions regarding BELBUCA market share). Other terms of the Agreement are confidential.

Alvogen

On September 7, 2018, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement in Delaware against Alvogen Pb Research & Development LLC, Alvogen Malta Operations Ltd., Alvogen Pine Brook LLC, Alvogen, Incorporated, and Alvogen Group, Incorporated (collectively, “Alvogen”), asserting that Alvogen infringes the Company’s Orange Book listed patents for BELBUCA®, including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,147,866 and 9,655,843, both expiring in July of 2027, and U.S. Patent No. 9,901,539, expiring in December of 2032. This complaint follows receipt by the Company on July 30, 2018 of a Paragraph IV Patent Certification from Alvogen stating that Alvogen had filed an ANDA with the FDA for a generic version of BELBUCA® market share)Buccal Film (75 mcg, 150 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, 600 mcg, 750 mcg and 900 mcg). Because the Company initiated a patent infringement suit to defend the patents identified in the Paragraph IV notice within 45 days after receipt of the Paragraph IV Certification, the FDA is prevented from approving the ANDA until the earlier of 30 months or a decision in the case that each of the patents is not infringed or invalid. Alvogen’s notice letter also does not provide any information on the timing or approval status of its ANDA.

In its Paragraph IV Certification, Alvogen does not contest infringement of at least several independent claims of each of the ’866, ’843, and ’539 patents. Rather, Alvogen advances only invalidly arguments for these independent claims. The Company believes that it will be able to prevail on its claims of infringement of these patents, particularly as Alvogen does not contest infringement of certain claims of each patent. Additionally, as the Company has done in the past, it intends to vigorously defend its intellectual property against assertions of invalidity. Each of the three patents carry a presumption of validity, which can only be overcome by clear and convincing evidence.

2018 Arkansas Opioid Litigation

On March 15, 2018, the State of Arkansas, and certain counties and cities in that State, filed an action in the Circuit Court of Arkansas, Crittenden County against multiple manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and prescribers of opioid analgesics, including ourthe Company. The Company was served with the complaint on April 27, 2018. The complaint specifically alleged that the Companyit licensed its branded fentanyl buccal soluble film ONSOLIS®to Collegium, Pharmaceutical Inc. (“Collegium”), and Collegium is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. ONSOLIS® is not presently sold in the United States and the license agreement with Collegium was terminated prior to Collegium launching ONSOLIS® in the United States. Therefore, on June 28, 2018, the Company moved to dismiss the case against themit and most recently, on July 6, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice to voluntarily dismiss the Companyus from the Arkansas case, without prejudice.

Chemo Research, S.L

On March 1, 2019, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement in Delaware against Chemo Research, S.L., Insud Pharma S.L., IntelGenx Corp., and IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (collectively, “Defendants”), asserting that the Defendants infringe its Orange Book listed patents for BELBUCA, including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,147,866 and 9,655,843, both expiring in July of 2027, and U.S. Patent No. 9,901,539 expiring December of 2032. This complaint follows a receipt by the Company on January 31, 2019, of a Notice Letter from Chemo Research S.L. stating that it has filed with the FDA an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV Patent Certification, for a generic version of BELBUA Buccal Film in strengths 75 mcg, 150 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, and 900 mcg. Because the Company initiated a patent infringement suit to defend the patents identified in the Notice Letter within 45 days after receipt, the FDA is prevented from approving the ANDA until the earlier of 30 months or a decision in the case that each of the patents is not

Our Products and Related Trends

Our product portfolio currently consists of four products. As of the date of this report, three products that are approved by the FDA and one is development.FDA. Three of these fourour products utilize our patented BEMA® thin film drug delivery technology.

BELBUCA

BELBUCA® is indicated

BELBUCA (buprenorphine buccal film) is a buccal film that contains buprenorphine, a Schedule III opioid, and was approved by the FDA in October 2015 for use in patients with pain severe enough to require daily,around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment for which alternative options are inadequate. BELBUCA is differentiated from other opioids and has the potential to address some of the most critical issues facing healthcare providers treating chronic pain with prescription opioids – abuse, misuse, addiction and the management of chronic pain severe enough to require daily,around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate. This product was originally licensed on a worldwide basis to Endo. On October 26, 2015, we announced with Endo that the FDA approved BELBUCA®. BELBUCA® was launched by Endo in February 2016. On December 7, 2016, we entered into an agreement with Endo

terminating Endo’s licensing of rights for BELBUCA®. This followed a strategic decision made by Endo to discontinue commercial efforts in the branded pain business. On January 6, 2017, we announced the closing of the transaction to reacquire the license to BELBUCA® from Endo. As a result, the worldwide rights to BELBUCA® were transferred back to us. Behind a revised commercialization plan, we are leveraging our existing sales force to capitalize on commercial synergies with BUNAVAIL®. This effort is a focused commercial approach targeting identified healthcare providers which we believe create the potential to incrementally grow BELBUCA® sales without the requirement for significant resources. We also will explore other options for longer-term growth for BELBUCA®. Inmid-February 2017, we completed the expansion and training of our sales force, allowing for promotion of BELBUCA® to commence in full in late February. We further expanded our sales force beginning of January 2018 to support the commercialization efforts. BELBUCA® and BUNAVAIL® are currently supported by a field force of approximately eighty-five sales representatives and nine regional sales managers. As previously disclosed, the launch has been more challenging because of the increased scrutiny over the prescribing of opioids that is driven by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines issued in March 2016. The difference that BELBUCA® offers over the Schedule II opioids, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, etc., include less addiction and abuse potential along with a ceiling effect on respiratory depression. The approval of BELBUCA® carries a standard post-approval requirement by the FDA to conduct a study to determine the effect of BELBUCA® on QT prolongation (i.e. an abnormal lengthening of the heartbeat). Also required is a study assessing the safety and efficacy of BELBUCA® in pediatric patients and participation in a consortium with other holders of NDAs for long-acting opioids to assess and better understand the risk of abuse, misuse, addiction and overdose with opioids. Prescription sales of BELBUCA have significantly increased since promotion began.

risk of overdose. Compared to currently marketed products and products under development, we believe that BELBUCA is differentiated based on the following features:

BUNAVAIL® was approved by the FDA in June 2014 and is indicated for the treatment of opioid dependence. BUNAVAIL® uses our BEMA® technology combined with buprenorphine in tandem with naloxone, an opioid antagonist. We are commercializing BUNAVAIL® ourselves and launched the product during the fourth quarter of 2014. We have been actively engaged in efforts to optimize our commercialization of BUNAVAIL® with particular emphasis in 2016 on better aligning costs with revenue and reducing spending. We will seek to continue to manage our BUNAVAIL® business by focusing sales efforts on those healthcare providers who have been prescribers of BUNAVAIL. And we will continue to use published data evidencing “diversion” (i.e., the illicit use of a legally prescribed controlled substance) associated with the market leader’s product and highlight the other attributes of BUNAVAIL® as we seek to win additional managed care contracts. We also believe there will be an opportunity to introduce more patients to BUNAVAIL® with the lifting of the long-standing limit from 100 to 275 (as outlined in the final ruling by HHS and effective on August 8, 2016), the number of patients per physician that can be treated at any given time with buprenorphine and more recent legislation allowing nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe buprenorphine for opioid dependence. We will continue to closely monitor commercial efforts and seek to increase revenue and profitability, as well as evaluate all options available to preserve the long-term prospects for and maximize the value of BUNAVAIL®. Separately, as with all other buprenorphine containing products for opioid dependence, the approval of BUNAVAIL® carries a standard post-approval requirement by the FDA to conduct a study to determine the effect of BUNAVAIL® on QT prolongation.

ONSOLIS® is approved in the U.S., the EU (where it is marketed as BREAKYL) and Taiwan (where it is marketed as PAINKYL™), for the management of breakthrough pain in opioid tolerant adult patients with cancer. ONSOLIS® utilizes our BEMA® thin film drug delivery technology in combination with fentanyl. The commercial rights to ONSOLIS® were originally licensed to Meda, a subsidiary of Mylan N.V., in 2006 and 2007 for all territories worldwide except for Taiwan (where it is licensed to TTY) and South Korea. The marketing authorization for ONSOLIS® was returned to us in early 2015 as part of an assignment and revenue sharing agreement with Meda for the United States, Canada and Mexico. Such agreement also facilitated the approval of a new formulation of ONSOLIS® in the U.S. We are currently assessing our commercial options for ONSOLIS®.

 

Buprenorphine Extended Release Injectionstrong and durable efficacy in both opioid naïve and opioid experienced patients;

Schedule III designation by DEA, which indicates less abuse and addiction potential compared to Schedule II opioids, which include oxycodone, hydrocodone and morphine;

in published studies, investigators observed that respiratory depression from buprenorphine administration reached a plateau, and we believe this ceiling effect may result in a lower risk of overdose related respiratory depression;

favorable tolerability with a low incidence of constipation and low discontinuation rate;

flexible dosing options with seven available strengths; and

buccal administration to optimize buprenorphine delivery.

We believe that there are long-term growth opportunities for BELBUCA and we focus our commercial efforts primarily on BELBUCA. Our sales force is focused on current BELBUCA prescribers and clinicians we believe have the greatest opportunity to be adopters of BELBUCA. As of January 2019, BELBUCA had formulary coverage for more than 88% of commercial lives.

The risks to our company associated with BELBUCA include: (i) inability to manufacture adequate supplies for commercial use; (ii) unexpected product safety issues; (iii) failure of our sales force to effectively sell the product and, (iv) inadequate reimbursement. A technical or commercial failure of BELBUCA would have a material adverse effect on our future revenue potential and would negatively affect investor confidence in development as an injectable, extended release, microparticle formulation of buprenorphineour company and our public stock price.

SYMPROIC

Symproic is a peripherallyacting mu-opioid receptor antagonist, or PAMORA, and was approved by the FDA on March 23, 2017 for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in adult patients withchronic non-cancer pain, including patients with chronic pain related to prior cancer or its treatment who do not require frequent (e.g., weekly) opioid dosage escalation. OIC occurs primarily via activation of entericmu-receptors in the small intestine and proximal colon, which results in harder stool and less frequent and less effective defecation. Because OIC results from the specific effects of opioids, it differs mechanistically from other forms of constipation, and deserves dedicated medical management. Compared to currently marketed products and products under development for OIC, we believe that Symproic is differentiated based on the following features:

strong and durable efficacy observed in randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials of 12 week and 52 week duration in OIC patients;

OIC relief that was more frequent, more complete, with less straining than patients taking placebo

recommended by the American Gastroenterological Association for patients with laxative refractory OIC;

adverse event profile comparable to placebo, with low rates of abdominal pain observed across the phase III program; and

the only prescription OIC medication with the convenience of once daily dosing, with only a tablet strength, and that can be taken with or without food and with or without laxatives.

Because of the durable efficacy, tolerability and convenience benefits, we believe that Symproic isa best-in-class PAMORA that reliably provides durable relief of OIC, which frees both the patient and the healthcare provider to focus on treating the patient’s chronic pain.

We believe that there are long-term growth opportunities for Symproic. In 2018, according to data from Symphony Health, the market for PAMORAs included over 550,000 prescriptions dispensed. This represents a 1% growth in prescription volume from 2017. The growth rate of the PAMORAs has slowed since 2017, driven by a decline in opioid prescription rates.

The risks to our company associated with Symproic include: (i) unexpected product safety issues; (ii) inability to continue to supply product in adequate quantities to meet the commercial demand; (iii) inability to continue to reduce Symproic manufacturing costs; (iv) failure of our sales force to effectively sell the product and, (v) inadequate reimbursement.

BUNAVAIL

In June 2014, BUNAVAIL (buprenorphine and naloxone buccal film) was approved by the FDA for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence as part of a complete treatment plan to include counseling and chronic pain,psychosocial support. BUNAVAIL contains the rights

partial opioid agonist buprenorphine, which binds to which we securedthe same receptors as opiate drugs but has a higher affinity, and naloxone, an opioid antagonist and an abuse deterrent.

BUNAVAIL provides an alternative treatment utilizing the advanced BEMA drug delivery technology. BUNAVAIL has approximately twice the bioavailability of sublingual buprenorphine-containing products for opioid dependence, allowing for effective treatment with half the dose when we entered intocompared to Suboxone film. Additionally, BUNAVAIL offers convenient and discrete buccal administration and avoids the need for patients to avoid talking and swallowing during administration. BUNAVAIL has demonstrated an excellent tolerability profile, with a definitive development and exclusive license option agreement68% reduction in the incidence of constipation at the end of 12 weeks in a Phase 3 trial in patients converted from Evonik in October 2014. In 2015, we completed initial development work and preclinical studies which haveSuboxone sublingual tablets or film to BUNAVAIL. The impact of a growing generic Suboxone market has resulted in the identification ofdeclining market conditions, and as such, BUNAVAIL is no longer a formulation we believecore strategic asset for our Company.

Our BUNAVAIL efforts are focused on current BUNAVAIL prescribers and on increasing prescriptions related to current, upcoming and future managed care contracts where BUNAVAIL is capable of providing 30 days of continuous buprenorphine treatment. We submitted an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) for thisplaced in a favorable formulary position.

The risks to our company associated with BUNAVAIL include: (i) unexpected product candidate to the FDA in December 2016.

We expectsafety issues; (ii) inability to continue to supply product in adequate quantities to meet the commercial demand; (iii) inability to continue to reduce BUNAVAIL manufacturing costs; (iv) failure of our researchsales force to effectively sell the product and, development(v) inadequate reimbursement.

ONSOLIS

In July 2009, ONSOLIS (fentanyl buccal soluble film) was approved for the management of pharmaceutical productspain that “breaks through” the effects of other medications being used to control persistent pain, or breakthrough pain, in cancer patients 18 years of age and related drug delivery technologies, someolder who are already receiving and who are tolerant to opioid therapy for their underlying persistent cancer pain. We refer to breakthrough pain in opioid tolerant patients with cancer as BTCP. ONSOLIS provides significant reduction in pain for patients suffering from BTCP in a convenient formulation with a range of which will be funded by ourdoses to allow patients to titrate to an adequate level of pain control. We are not currently assessing options for U.S. commercialization agreements. of ONSOLIS. Given current declining market conditions, we have no plans to reintroduce the product in the US at this time. The product is no longer strategic for the Company.

We will continue to seek additional license agreements, which may include upfront payments.agreements. We anticipate that funding for the next several years will come primarily from earnings from sales of BELBUCA,® Symproic and BUNAVAIL,®, milestone payments and royalties from MedaMylan and TTY, potential sales of securities and collaborative research agreements, including those with pharmaceutical companies.

Update on Activities in the U.S. for ONSOLIS®

On January 27, 2015, we announced that we had entered into an assignment and revenue sharing agreement with Meda to return to us the marketing authorizations for ONSOLIS® for the U.S. and the right to seek marketing authorizations for ONSOLIS® in Canada and Mexico.

On May 11, 2016, we announced the signing of a licensing agreement under which we granted the exclusive rights to commercialize ONSOLIS® in the U.S. to Collegium. Under terms of the agreement, Collegium was responsible for the manufacturing, distribution, marketing and sales of ONSOLIS® in the U.S. Meda continues to commercialize ONSOLIS® under the brand name BREAKYL in the E.U. However, on December 8, 2017, Collegium provided us the required90-day notice regarding termination of the license and development agreement for ONSOLIS® between us and Collegium. The license and development agreement for ONSOLIS® between us and Collegium formally ended on March 8, 2018.

Previous efforts to extend our supply agreement with our original ONSOLIS® manufacturer Aveva, who was subsequently acquired by Apotex, were unsuccessful and the agreement expired. However, an alternate supplier was identified and data to support qualification of the new manufacturer was submitted to the FDA in June 2018. We are currently assessing options to commercialize ONSOLIS® including partnership or introducing ONSOLIS® utilizing the company’s existing pain sales force.TTY.

Expenditures for Research and Development ProgramsNon-GAAP Financial Information:

Our researchWe report our condensed consolidated financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, we believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and development expendituresamortization (“EBITDA”) and other non-GAAP results should be considered in isolation of or as an alternative for, earnings measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to measure the ongoing operating performance of our Company along with other metrics, and for planning and forecasting purposes. In addition, when evaluating non-GAAP results, we exclude certain items that are considered to be non-cash and if applicable, non-recurring, in nature.

EBITDA and Non-GAAP Income/(Loss):

We have presented EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe this financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude. In particular, we believe that the exclusion of the expenses eliminated in calculating EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allowing for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net income/(loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, the cash requirements for which are not reflected in EBITDA;

EBITDA does not reflect provision for (benefit from) income taxes or the cash requirements to pay taxes; and

EBITDA excludes net interest, including both interest expense and interest income.

Non-GAAP net income/(loss) is an alternative view of our performance that we are providing because management believes this information enhances investors’ understanding of our results as it permits investors to better understand the ongoing operations of the business, the impact of any non-recurring one time events, the cash results of the organization and is an additional measure used by management to assess performance.

Non-GAAP net income/(loss) is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP net income/(loss) rather than net income/(loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent. Some of these limitations are:

Non-GAAP income/(loss) excludes certain one-time items because of the nature of the items and the impact that those have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Specifically, in the presentation of non-GAAP income/(loss) for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2019, we have excluded the financial impact of our debt refinancing which closed in May 2019, as it is non-recurring. This excluded item is a significant component in understanding and assessing ongoing financial performance. The one-time expenses related to the dissolution of the CRG loan consisted of $5.2 million in unamortized deferred loan fees, $3.9 million in unamortized warrant discount costs and $2.8 million in loan prepayment fees and realized losses, for a cumulative total of $11.9 million in one-time costs;

The expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculation of non-GAAP net income/(loss) may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from non-GAAP net income/(loss) when they report their operating results since non-GAAP income/(loss) is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP, and it has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP;

We exclude stock-based compensation expense from non-GAAP net income/(loss) although (a) it has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our approved productsbusiness and product candidates asan important part of June 30our compensation strategy and (b) if we did not pay out a portion of our compensation in the form of stock-based compensation, the cash salary expense included in operating expenses would be higher, which would affect our cash position;

We exclude amortization of intangible assets from non-GAAP net income/(loss) due to the non-cash nature of this expense and although it has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a recurring expense for our business, these expenses do not affect our cash position; and

Amortization of warrant discount costs associated with the CRG loan which was dissolved in May 2019 are as follows in thousands:excluded given these expenses did not affect our cash position;

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of equity securities, proceeds from short-term borrowings, or convertible notes, and notes payable, funded research arrangements, and revenue generated as a result of our worldwide license and development agreements.agreements and the commercialization of our BELBUCA, Symproic and BUNAVAIL products. We intend to finance our commercialization research and development and working capital needs from existing cash, royalty revenue, earnings from the continued commercialization of BELBUCA,® Symproic and BUNAVAIL,®, our term loan with CRG (assuming we achieve the conditions for additional funding under such loan), potential royalty revenue, new sources of debt and equity financing, existing and new licensing and commercial partnership agreements and, potentially, through the exercise of outstanding common stock options and warrants to purchase common stock.

At June 30, 2018,2019, we had cash of approximately $55.7$57.2 million. We used $11.7$4.4 million of cash in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and had stockholders’ equity of $40.7 million, versus stockholders’ equity of $8.9 million at December 31, 2017.2019. We expectbelieve that we have sufficient cash to manage the business as currently planned into the second quarter of 2020, which would provide sufficient capital necessary to support the continued commercialization of BELBUCA® and BUNAVAIL®.planned.

On May 17, 2018, we executed agreements relating to our registered direct offering, issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5,000 shares of our newly designated Series BNon-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. On May 21, 2018, we closed the offering, which yielded net proceeds of $47.9 million to us.

Additional capital willmay be required to support the continued commercialization of our BELBUCA,® Symproic and BUNAVAIL® products, the reformulation project for and the anticipated commercial relaunch of ONSOLIS®, the potential continued development of Buprenorphine Extended Release Injection oras well as other products which may be acquired or licensed by us, and for general working capital requirements. Based on product development timelines and agreements with our partners, the ability to scale up or reduce personnel and associated costs are factors considered throughout the product life cycle. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, potentially resulting in the need for additional funding. Additional funding, capital or loans (including, without limitation, milestone or other payments from commercialization agreements) may be unavailable on favorable terms, if at all, which could leave our company without adequate capital resources.

Also, product development timelines and agreements with our development partners, the ability to scale up or reduce personnel and associated costs are factors considered throughout the product development life cycle. Available resources may be consumed more rapidly than currently anticipated, resulting in the need for additional funding.all.

Accordingly, we anticipate that we willmay be required to raise additional capital, which may be available to us through a variety of sources, including:

 

public equity markets;

 

private equity financings;

 

commercialization agreements and collaborative arrangements;

 

sale of product royalty;

 

grants and new license revenues;

 

bank loans;

 

equipment financing;

 

public or private debt; and

 

exercise of existing warrants and options.

Readers are cautioned that additional funding, capital or loans (including, without limitation, milestone or other payments from commercialization agreements) may be unavailable on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to significantly reduce or refocus our operations or to obtain funds through arrangements that may require us to relinquish rights to certain technologies and drug formulations or potential markets, either of which could have a material adverse effect on us, our financial condition and our results of operations.operations in 2019 and beyond. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities would result in ownership dilution to existing stockholders.

Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2018.2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our second quarter of 20182019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section thereof) and elsewhere may address or relate to future events and expectations and as such constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to our plans, objectives, projections, expectations and intentions and other statements identified by words such as “projects,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in our filings with the SEC. Actual results, including, without limitation: (i) actual sales results (including the results of our continuing commercial efforts with BELBUCA,® Symproic and BUNAVAIL®)BUNAVAIL), (ii) the application and availability of corporate funds and our need for future funds, (iii) the timing for completion, and results of, scheduled or additional clinical trials and the FDA’s review and/or approval and commercial activities for our products and product candidates and regulatory filings related to the same or (iv) the results of our ongoing intellectual property litigations and patent office proceedings, may differ significantly from those set forth or anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements also involve other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to materially differ

from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and to vary significantly from reporting period to reporting period. Such factors include, among others, those listed under Item 1A of our 20172018 Annual Report and other factors detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual future results will not be different from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

We are involved from timeSee Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to time in routine legal matters incidental to our business. Based upon available information, we believe that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or resultsstatements included in Part I, Item I of operations. Except as discussed below, we are not the subject of any pending legal proceedings and, to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against us by any federal, state or local governmental agency.

Indivior (formerly RB Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) and Aquestive Therapeutics (formerly MonoSol Rx)

Litigation related to BUNAVAIL®

On October 29, 2013, Reckitt Benckiser, Inc., RB Pharmaceuticals Limited, and Aquestive (collectively, the RB Plaintiffs) filed an action against us relating to our BUNAVAIL® product in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (“EDNC”) for alleged patent infringement. BUNAVAIL® is a drug approved for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence. The RB Plaintiffs claim that the formulation for BUNAVAIL®, which has never been disclosed publicly, infringes its US Patent No. 8,475,832 (the ‘832 Patent). On May 21, 2014, the Court granted our motion to dismiss.

On January 22, 2014, Aquestive initiated aninter partesreview (“IPR”) IPRthis Quarterly Report on the ‘019 Patent, which was instituted. The PTAB upheld all claims of our ‘019 Patent in 2015 and this decision was not appealed by Aquestive.

On September 20, 2014, we proactively filed a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the EDNC requesting the Court to make a determination that our BUNAVAIL® product does not infringe the ‘832 Patent, US Patent No. 7,897,080 (the “‘080 Patent”) and US Patent No. 8,652,378 (the “‘378 Patent”). We invalidated the “‘080 Patent” in its entirety in aninter partesreexamination proceeding. We invalidated all relevant claims of the ‘832 Patent in aninter partesreview (IPR) proceeding. And, in an IPR proceeding for the ‘378 Patent, in its decision not to institute the IPR proceeding the PTAB construed the claims of the ‘378 Patent narrowly. Shortly thereafter, by joint motion of the parties, the ‘378 Patent was subsequently removed from the action.

On June 6, 2016, in an unrelated case in which Indivior and Aquestive asserted the ‘832 Patent against other parties, the Delaware District Court entered an order invalidating other claims in the ‘832 Patent. Indivior and Aquestive cross-appealed all adverse findings in that decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in CaseFormNo. 17-2587.10-Q, Our declaratory judgment action remains stayed pending the outcome of that cross-appeal by Indivior and Aquestive.

On September 22, 2014, the RB Plaintiffs filed an action against us (and our commercial partner) relating to our BUNAVAIL® product in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey for alleged patent infringement. The RB Plaintiffs claim that BUNAVAIL®, whose formulation and manufacturing processes have never been disclosed publicly, infringes its patent U.S. Patent No. 8,765,167 (the ‘167 Patent. As with prior actions by the RB Plaintiffs, we believe this is another anticompetitive attempt by the RB Plaintiffs to distract our efforts from commercializing BUNAVAIL®. We strongly refute as without merit the RB Plaintiffs’ assertion of patent infringement and will vigorously defend the lawsuit. On our motion, this case was transferred to the Eastern District of North Carolina. A Joint Motion to Stay the case was granted and the case is now stayed until a final resolution of the ‘167 IPRs discussed directly below. We will continue to vigorously defend this case.

On October 28, 2014, we filed multiple IPR petitions on certain claims of the ‘167 Patent. The USPTO instituted three of the four IPR petitions. The PTAB upheld the claims and denied collateral estoppel applied to the PTAB decisions in March 2016. We appealed to Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The USPTO intervened with respect to whether collateral estoppel applied to the PTAB. The Federal Circuit did not issue an affirmance without opinion after the February 7, 2018 oral argument. On June 19, 2018, we filed a motion to remand the case for further consideration by the PTAB in view of intervening authority. On July 31, 2018, the Federal Circuit vacated the decisions, and remanded the ‘167 Patent IPRs for further consideration on the merits.

Litigation related to BELBUCA®

On January 13, 2017, Aquestive filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging BELBUCA® infringes the ‘167 Patent. In lieu of answering the complaint, we filed motions to dismiss the complaint and, in the alternative, to transfer the case to the EDNC. Briefing on the motions was completed on June 21, 2017. On July 25, 2017, the New Jersey Court administratively terminated the case pending the parties submission of a joint stipulation of transfer because the District of New Jersey was an inappropriate venue. This case was later transferred to the Delaware District Court. On October 31, 2017 we filed motions to dismiss the complaint and, in the alternative, to transfer the case to the EDNC. Briefing on the motions was completed on December 8, 2017. We anticipate receiving a decision on the motions from the Delaware District Court by the 4th quarter of 2018 or the 1st quarter of 2019. We strongly refute as without merit Aquestive’s assertion of patent infringement and will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (formerly Actavis)

On February 8, 2016, we received a notice relating to a Paragraph IV certification from Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (“Teva”) (formerly Actavis) seeking to find invalid three Orange Book listed patents relating specifically to BUNAVAIL®. The Paragraph IV certification related to an Abbreviated New Drug Application (the “ANDA”) filed by Teva with the U.S Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for a generic formulation of BUNAVAIL®. The patents subject to Teva’s certification were U.S. Patent No. 7,579,019 (the “‘019 Patent”) , U.S. Patent No. 8,147,866 (the “‘866 Patent”) and 8,703,177 (the “‘177 Patent”).

On March 18, 2016, we asserted three different patents against Teva, the ‘019 Patent, the ‘866 Patent, and the ‘177 Patent. Teva did not raisenon-infringement positions about the ‘019 and the ‘866 Patents in its Paragraph IV certification. Teva did raise anon-infringement position on the ‘177 Patent but we asserted in our complaint that Teva infringed the ‘177 Patent either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.

On December 20, 2016 the USPTO issued U.S. Patent No. 9,522,188 (“the ‘188 Patent”), and this patent was properly listed in the Orange Book as covering the BUNAVAIL® product. On February 23, 2017 Teva sent a Paragraph IV certification adding the 9,522,188 to its ANDA. An amended Complaint was filed, adding the ‘188 Patent to the litigation.

On January 31, 2017, we received a notice relating to a Paragraph IV certification from Teva relating to Teva’s ANDA on additional strengths of BUNAVAIL® and on March 16, 2017, we brought suit against Teva and its parent company on these additional strengths. On June 20, 2017, the Court entered orders staying both BUNAVAIL® suits at the request of the parties.

On May 23, 2017, the USPTO issued U.S. Patent 9,655,843 (the “‘843 Patent”) relating to the BEMA® technology, and this patent was properly listed in the Orange Book as covering the BUNAVAIL® product.

Finally, on October 12, 2017, we announced that we had entered into a settlement agreement with Teva that resolved our BUNAVAIL® patent litigation against Teva pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the Settlement Agreement, which is subject to reviewincorporated into this item by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, we have entered into anon-exclusive license agreement with Teva that permits Teva to first begin selling its generic version of BUNAVAIL® in the U.S. on July 23, 2028 or earlier under certain circumstances. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.

We received notices regarding Paragraph IV certifications from Teva on November 8, 2016, November 10, 2016, and December 22, 2016, seeking to find invalid two Orange Book listed patents relating specifically to BELBUCA®. The Paragraph IV certifications relate to three ANDAs filed by Teva with the FDA for a generic formulation of BELBUCA®. The patents subject to Teva’s certification were the ‘019 Patent and the ‘866 Patent. We filed complaints in Delaware against Teva on December 22, 2016 and February 3, 2017 in which we asserted against Teva the ‘019 Patent and the ‘866 Patent. Teva did not contest infringement of the claims of the ‘019 Patent and did not contest infringement of the claims of the ‘866 Patent.

The ‘019 Patent had already been the subject of an unrelated IPR before the USPTO under which we prevailed, and all claims of the ‘019 Patent survived. Aquestive’s request for rehearing of the final IPR decision regarding the ‘019 Patent was denied by the USPTO on December 19, 2016. Aquestive did not file a timely appeal at the Federal Circuit.

On May 23, 2017, the USPTO issued U.S. Patent 9,655,843 (the “‘843 Patent”) relating to the BEMA® technology, and this patent was properly listed in the Orange Book as covering the BELBUCA® product.

On August 28, 2017, the Court entered orders staying both BELBUCA® suits at the request of the parties.

In February 2018, we announced that we had entered into a settlement agreement with Teva that resolved our BELBUCA® patent litigation against Teva pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the settlement agreement, which is subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, we have granted Teva anon-exclusive license (for which we will receive no current or future payments) that permits Teva to first begin selling the generic version of our BELBUCA® product in the U.S. on January 23, 2027 or earlier under certain circumstances (including, for example, upon (i) the delisting of thepatents-in-suit from the U.S. FDA Orange Book, (ii) the granting of a license by us to a third party to launch another generic form of BELBUCA® at a date prior to January 23, 2027, or (iii) the occurrence of certain conditions regarding BELBUCA® market share). Other terms of the Agreement are confidential.

2018 Arkansas Opioid Litigation

On March 15, 2018, the State of Arkansas, and certain counties and cities in that State, filed an action in the Circuit Court of Arkansas, Crittenden County against multiple manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and prescribers of opioid analgesics, including our company. We were served with the complaint on April 27, 2018. The complaint specifically alleged that we licensed our branded fentanyl buccal soluble film ONSOLIS® to Collegium, and Collegium is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. ONSOLIS® is not presently sold in the United States and the license agreement with Collegium was terminated prior to Collegium launching ONSOLIS® in the United States. Therefore, on June 28, 2018, we moved to dismiss the case against us and most recently, on July 6, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a notice to voluntarily dismiss us from the Arkansas case, without prejudice.reference.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

No update.We are dependent on third party suppliers for key components of our delivery technologies, products and product candidates.

Key components of our drug delivery technologies, products and product candidates, including for BELBUCA, Symproic and BUNAVAIL, may be provided by sole or limited numbers of suppliers, and supply shortages or loss of these suppliers could result in interruptions in supply or increased costs. Certain components used in our development activities, such as the active pharmaceutical ingredients, or API, of our products, are currently purchased from a single or a limited number of outside sources. The reliance on a sole or limited number of suppliers could result in:

 

delays associated withdevelopment and non-clinical and clinical trials due to an inability to timely obtain a single or limited source component;

inability to timely obtain a sufficient quantities of API and an adequate supply of required components; and

reduced control over pricing, quality and timely delivery.

Our relationships with our manufacturers and suppliers are particularly important to us and any loss of or material diminution of their capabilities due to factors such as regulatory issues, accidents, acts of God or any other factor would have a material adverse effect on our company. Any loss of or interruption in the supply of components from our suppliers or other third-party suppliers would require us to seek alternative sources of supply or require us to manufacture these components internally, which we are currently not able to do.

If the supply of any components is lost or interrupted, API, product or components from alternative suppliers may not be available in sufficient quality or in volumes within required time frames, if at all, to meet our or our partners’ needs. This could delay our ability to complete clinical trials, obtain approval for commercialization or commence marketing or cause us to lose sales, force us into breach of other agreements, incur additional costs, delay new product introductions or harm our reputation. Furthermore, product or components from a new supplier may not be identical to those provided by the original supplier. Such differences could have material effects on our overall business plan and timing, could fall outside of regulatory requirements, affect product formulations or the safety and effectiveness of our products that are being developed.

If our competitors are successful in obtaining approval for Abbreviated New Drug Applications for products that have the same active ingredients as BELBUCA, Symproic or BUNAVAIL, sales of BELBUCA, Symproic or BUNAVAIL may be adversely affected.

Our competitors may submit for approval certain Abbreviated New Drug Applications, or ANDAs, which provide for the marketing of a drug product that has the same active ingredients in the same strengths and dosage form as a drug product already listed with the FDA, and which has been shown to be bioequivalentto such FDA-listed drug. Drugs approved in this way are commonly referred to as generic versions of a listed drug and can often be substituted by pharmacists under prescriptions written for an original listed drug. Any applicant filing an ANDA is required to make patent certifications to the FDA, such as certification to the FDA that the new product subject to the ANDA will not infringe an already approved product’s listed patents or that such patents are invalid (otherwise known as a Paragraph IV Certification).

In February 2016, we announced that a generic competitor, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., or Teva, had filed a Paragraph IV Certification challenging certain of our BUNAVAIL-related patents and we received notices regarding Paragraph IV certifications from Teva in November and December 2016, seeking to find invalid two Orange Book listed patents relating specifically to BELBUCA. The filing of this certification required us to initiate costly litigation against Teva. In addition, a number of our competitor companies have filed Paragraph IV Certifications challenging the patent for Suboxone® film, the market leader in the field in which we are seeking to generate sales of BUNAVAIL. To the extent that any company is successful in challenging the validity of certain patents covering BUNAVAIL or Suboxone® film under a Paragraph IV Certification, it could result in FDA approval of a drug that is lower in price to BUNAVAIL or Suboxone® film. Such a new drug could make it more difficult for BUNAVAIL to gain any significant market share in an increasingly generic marketplace, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow, reputation and stock price.

In October 2017, we announced that we had entered into a settlement agreement with Teva that resolved our BUNAVAIL patent litigation against Teva pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the Settlement Agreement, which is subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, we enteredinto a non-exclusive license agreement with Teva that permits Teva to first begin selling its generic version of BUNAVAIL in the U.S. on July 23, 2028 or earlier under certain circumstances. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.

In February 2018, we announced that we had entered into a Settlement Agreement with Teva that resolves our previously reported BELBUCA, patent litigation against Teva pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. As part of the settlement agreement, which is subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice, we enteredinto a non-exclusive license agreement with Teva that permits Teva to first begin selling its generic version of BELBUCA in the U.S. on January 23, 2027 or earlier under certain circumstances. Other terms of the agreement are confidential.

As such, we have been and may continue to be subject to ANDA-related litigation, which is costly and distracting and has the potential to impair the long-term value of our products.

We are presently a party to lawsuits by third parties who claim that our products, methods of manufacture or methods of use infringe on their intellectual property rights, and we may be exposed to these types of claims in the future.

We are presently, and may continue to be, exposed to litigation by third parties based on claims that our technologies, processes, formulations, methods, or products infringe the intellectual property rights of others or that we have misappropriated the trade secrets of others. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that the validity and breadth of claims covered in pharmaceutical patents is, in most instances, uncertain and highly complex. Any litigation or claims against us, whether or not valid, would result in substantial costs, could place a significant strain on our financial and human resources and could harm our reputation. Such a situation may force us to do one or more of the following:

incur significant costs in legal expenses for defending against an intellectual property infringement suit;

delay the launch of, or cease selling, making, importing, incorporating or using one or more or all of our technologies and/or formulations or products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property, which would adversely affect our revenue;

obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which license may be costly or may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all; or

redesign our formulations or products, which would be costly and time-consuming.

With respect to our BEMA delivery technology, the thin film drug delivery technology space is highly competitive. There is a risk that a court of law in the United States or elsewhere could determine that one or more of our BEMA based products conflicts with or covered by external patents. This risk presently exists in our litigation with Reckitt Benckiser, Inc., RB Pharmaceuticals Limited, and Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly known as MonoSol Rx LLC, or Aquestive) relating to our BUNAVAIL product which was filed in September 2014 and in our litigation with Aquestive relating to our BELBUCA product which was filed in January 2017. If the courts in these cases were to rule against us and our partner in these cases, we could be forced to license technology from Aquestive or be prevented from marketing BUNAVAIL or BELBUCA, or otherwise incur liability for damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability for us or our partners to market and sell BUNAVAIL or BELBUCA.

We have beengranted non-exclusive license rights to European Patent No. 949 925, which is controlled by LTS to market BELBUCA and ONSOLIS within the countries of the European Union. We are required to pay a low single digit royalty on sales of products that are covered by this patent in the European Union. We have not conducted freedom to operate searches and analyses for our other proposed products. Moreover, the possibility exists that a patent could issue that would cover one or more of our products, requiring us to defend a patent infringement suit or necessitating a patent validity challenge that would be costly, time consuming and possibly unsuccessful.

Our lawsuits with Aquestive and RB Pharmaceuticals have caused us to incur significant legal costs to defend ourselves, and we would be subject to similar costs if we are a party to similar lawsuits in the future Furthermore, if a court were to determine that we infringe any other patents and that such patents are valid, we might be required to seek one or more licenses to commercialize our BEMA products. We may be unable to obtain such licenses from the patent holders, which could materially and adversely impact our business.
