Claims Liabilities

Our U.S. Compounding, Inc., an Arkansas corporation ("USC"), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 28, 2016 (the "Merger Agreement") and entered into by and among the Company, USC and Ursula MergerSub Corp., an Arkansas corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("MergerSub"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, MergerSub merged with and into USC (the "Merger"), with USC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Segment Information

The Company is engaged primarily in the discovery, development and sales of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other drug products. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment.

Overview of U.S. Compounding, Inc.

USC, which is registered as a drug compounding outsourcing facility under Section 503B of the U.S. Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act and the U.S. Drug Quality and Security Act, provides prescription compounded medications, including compounded sterile preparations and non-sterile compounds to patients, physician clinics, hospitals, surgery centers and other clients in many states throughout the United States. USC’s product offerings broadly include, among others, corticosteroids, hormone replacement therapies, hospital outsourcing products, injectables, urological preparations, ophthalmic preparations, topical compounds for pain and men’s and women’s health products. USC’s compounded formulations in many circumstances are offered as therapeutic alternatives to drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA. USC also provides certain veterinary pharmaceutical products for animals.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from our USC subsidiary consist of sales of compounded drugs for humans and animals, including sterile injectable and non-sterile integrative therapies. Sales discounts and rebates are sometimes offered to customers if specified criteria are met. Additionally, sales are generally made with a limited right of return under certain conditions. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns, which are established at the time of sale.  

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect on outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and credit to allowance for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible amounts are based on USC's history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. Provision for bad debt totaled $40,711 as of September 30, 2016.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The costs of inventories are determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories consist of compounding formulation raw materials, currently marketed products, and device supplies. A reserve for obsolescence is recorded monthly based on a percentage of raw materials and finished goods inventory and was $109,206 as of September 30, 2016.

Acquisitions and Intangibles

The Company has engaged in business combination activity. The accounting for business combinations requires management to make judgments and estimates of the fair value of assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets, as well as liabilities assumed. Such judgments and estimates directly impact the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with each acquisition, as goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill, which has an indefinite useful life, represents the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur indicating the potential for impairment. During its goodwill impairment review, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the overall financial performance of the Company. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no additional assessment is deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Company proceeds to perform the two-step test for goodwill impairment. The first step involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of loss, which involves comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill. The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment in a period and elect to proceed to perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets with definite lives, such as property and equipment, acquired technology, customer relationships, patent and license rights, for impairment by considering competition by products prescribed for the same indication, the likelihood and estimated future entry of non-generic and generic competition with the same or similar indication and other related factors. The factors that drive the estimate of the life are often uncertain and are reviewed on a periodic basis or when events occur that warrant review. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets' book value to future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate.

Claims Liabilities

USC is self-insured up to certain limits for health insurance.insurance through February 28, 2017.  Provisions are made for both the estimated liabilities for known claims as incurred and estimates for those incurred but not reported. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was self-insured for up to the first $40,000 of claims per covered person with an aggregate deductible of $766,497. The Claims Payable related to the self-insured plan at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was $225,540$87,960 consisting of the estimated IBNR (Incurred But Not Reported) provided by the plan administrator of $161,790 and claims reported but not yet paid of $63,750. administrator.  Beginning March 1, 2017, USC elected to participate in a fully insured health insurance plan.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the future realization of such assets, which is based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. Until such time as the Company can demonstrate that it will no longer incur losses, or if the Company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, it could be required to maintain the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash was $8,810,522,$1,407,676 and $5,095,760 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, including theapproximately $1.0 million in restricted cash held by the bankBear State Bank, N.A. as loan collateral and $4,080,648 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.for a $2.0 million working capital line.  

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities during the normal course of business. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, consideration was given to the Company’s future business as described below, which may preclude the Company from realizing the value of certain assets.

The

The Company has significant operating cash flow deficiencies. Additionally, the Company will need significant funding for future operations and the expenditures that will be required to conduct the clinical, development and regulatory workactivities relating to develop the Company’s product candidates, commercially launch any products that may be approved by applicable regulatory authorities, market and sell products, satisfy existing obligations and liabilities, and otherwise support the Company'sCompany’s intended business activities.activities and working capital needs. The preceding conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include attempting to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financings, sales or out-licensing of intellectual property assets, seeking partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies or third parties to co-develop and fund research, and development or commercialization efforts, or similar transactions, in order to satisfy existing obligations, liabilities and future working capital needs, to build working capital reserves, to fund the Company’s research and development projects and to support the operations of USC.transactions. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the necessary funding to meet its business objectives.

Basic and Diluted (Loss) per Share

The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing the loss attributable to holders of common stock for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted loss per share calculation is based on the treasury stock method and gives effect to dilutive options, warrants, convertible notes, convertible preferred stock and other potential dilutive common stock. Except as noted below, theThe effect of common stock equivalents was anti-dilutive and was excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. Potential dilutive securities, which are not included in diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, and September 30, 2015 consist of outstanding equity classified warrants (9,194,044(9,012,469 and 1,730,868,2,914,300, respectively), outstanding options (4,403,519(6,353,189 and 2,146,133,3,101,830, respectively), outstanding restricted stock units (350,000(1,300,000 and 5,590, respectively), and convertible preferred stock (1,724,137(0 and 1,009,021,2,192,453, respectively).

Under the new amendments, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. This ASU No. 2016-15 is intendedeffective prospectively to provideimpairment tests beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance regarding eight specific cash flow issues.prospectively at the beginning of first quarter 2017, which will simplify our future goodwill impairment testing. The amendments have been issued as an improvementCompany is continuing to GAAP because they provideassess the impact of adopting this guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice.  The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.   We do not expect adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a significant impact on ourits consolidated financial statements.

The exercise price of the warrants is $3.40 per share, and the warrants are exercisable for five years. If the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock equivalents pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then a holder of Series A Preferred or warrants will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the holder could have acquired if the holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred or exercise of the warrants (without regard to any limitations on conversion). If the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, then a holder of Series A Preferred or warrants is entitled to participate in such distribution to the same extent as if the holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series A Preferred or exercise of the warrants (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

The warrants include call provisions giving the Company the option, subject to various conditions, to call the exercise of any or all of the 2014 warrants, by giving a call notice to the warrant holders. We may give a call notice only within (i) if a holder and its affiliates beneficially own 2% or less of our outstanding common stock, then 10 trading days after any 20-consecutive trading day period during which the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock (the “VWAP”) is not less than 250% of the exercise price for the 2014 warrants in effect for 10 out of such 20-consecutive trading day period, and (ii) if holder and its affiliates beneficially own more than 2% of the outstanding common stock, five trading days after any 30-consecutive trading day period during which the VWAP of the common stock is not less than 250% of the exercise price then in effect for 25 out of such 30-consecutive trading day period. The exercise price of the 2014 warrants is $3.40 per share, and accordingly 250% of such exercise price is $8.50 per share. During a “call period” of 30 trading days following the date on which the call notice is deemed given and effective (with the call period being extended for one trading day for each trading day during the call period during which the VWAP is less than 225% of the exercise price then in effect during the call period), a holder may exercise the 2014 warrant and purchase the called warrant shares. Subject to the foregoing and to the other provisions of the 2014 warrants, if the holder fails to timely exercise the called 2014 warrant, the Company may cancel the unexercised called warrant (or portion thereof that was called).As of March 31, 2017, August 2014 warrants to purchase 1,418,439 shares remain outstanding.

As such, the Company accounted for the beneficial conversion feature under ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company identified a deemed dividend charge of approximately $1,374,000 for the recognition of a discount on the Series A-2 convertible preferred stock,Preferred, resulting from an allocation of the proceeds received between the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature embedded within the Series A-2 preferred stock,Preferred, which equals the amount by which the estimated fair value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the issued Series A-2 convertible preferred stock exceeded the proceeds from such issuance. The deemed dividend on preferred stock was a non-cash transaction and reflected below the net loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ending December 31, 2016, to arrive at the net loss applicable to common stock.    

For the period ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the investors have converted 1,099,124 shares and 625,013 shares, respectively, of Series A-2 Preferred into an equal number of shares of common stock, with no shares of Series A-2 Preferred Shares remaining outstanding.

The Ben Franklin Note was recorded at its estimated fair value of $205,000 and was assumed by the Company as an obligation in connection with its acquisition of Biosyn in 2004. The repayment terms of the non-interest bearing obligation include the remittance of an annual fixed percentage of 3.0% applied to future revenues of Biosyn, if any, until the principal balance of $777,902 (face amount) is satisfied. Under the terms of the obligation, revenues are defined to exclude the value of unrestricted research and development funding received by Biosyn from nonprofit sources. Absent a material breach of contract or other event of default, there is no obligation to repay the amounts in the absence of future Biosyn revenues. The Company accreted the discount of $572,902 against earnings using the interest rate method (approximately 46%) over the discount period of five years, which was estimated in connection with the Ben Franklin Note’s valuation at the time of the acquisition.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States emphasize market-based measurement through the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable or market-based inputs. The Ben Franklin Note’s peculiar repayment terms outlined above affects its comparability with main stream market issues and also affects its transferability. The value of the Ben Franklin Note would also be impacted by the ability to estimate Biosyn’s expected future revenues which in turn hinge largely upon future efforts to commercialize the product candidate, the results of which efforts are not known by the Company. Given the above factors and therefore the lack of market comparability, the Ben Franklin Note would be valued based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 8). As such, management has determined that the Ben Franklin Note will have no future cash flows, as we do not believe the product will create a revenue stream in the future. As a result, the Note had no fair market value at the time of the merger in April 2009 between the Company (which was then named Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and the corporation then-named Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.

Secured Convertible Promissory Notes 

On June 26, 2013, the Company completed the closing of a private placement financing transaction (the “Transaction”) with a small number of accredited institutional investors. Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and other transaction documents, we issued Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“Secured Notes”) and common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 764,960 shares of common stock (“Warrant Shares”), and received gross cash proceeds of $5,300,000, of which $286,349 was used to pay for transaction costs, fees and expenses. The Secured Notes had an aggregate principal amount of $6,502,158. The Secured Notes are no longer outstanding. The exercise price of the Warrants was subject to anti-dilution provisions providing that, with the exception of certain excluded categories of issuances and transactions, if we issue any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, or if common stock equivalents are repriced, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price, without the consent of a majority in interest of the investors, the exercise price would be adjusted downward to equal the per share price of the securities issued or deemed issued in such transaction. 

The Warrants were exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Warrants was initially $12.155 per share (and was subsequently reduced to $3.40 per share), which was 110% of the closing price of the common stock on the day before the closing. The Warrants provided for proportional adjustment of the number and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and the per share exercise price upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and included price anti-dilution provisions which provided for an adjustment to the per share exercise price of the Warrants and, in certain instances, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if the Company issued common stock or common stock equivalents at effective per share prices lower than the exercise price of the Warrants. The Warrants included call provisions and, as described in great detail in the paragraph below, subject to a call notice given by the Company in May 2016, after expiration of the applicable call period all unexercised Warrants were cancelled in June 2016. 

On May 31, 2016, the Company gave a Call Notice to all outstanding warrant holders to exercise the warrants. A Call Notice may be given only within 10 trading days after any 20-consecutive trading day period during which the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock is not less than 250% of the exercise price for the Warrants in effect for 10 out of such 20-consecutive trading day period. A holder must exercise the Warrant and purchase the called Warrant Shares within 14 trading days after the Call Date, or the Warrant will be cancelled with respect to the unexercised portion of the Warrant that was subject to the Call Notice. After the expiration of the applicable period, in June 2016 the holders of unexercised warrants were informed that the unexercised warrants subject to the Call Notice were canceled.

The Warrants with the embedded call option at issuance were valued using the Binomial Option Pricing Model (“BOPM”). The estimated fair value of a single Warrant, including the call option, was $2.329 per share and the estimated value of the Warrant anti-dilution reset feature was $1.2002 per share. As a result, the Company recorded liabilities for the warrant and warrant down-round protection derivative totaling $2,398,280. The warrant and warrant derivative liabilities at September 30, 2016 were zero with the cancellation of the June 2013 warrants, see Note 8.

Working Capital Line of Credit

On March 28, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (sometimes referred to as the "Adamis New“Adamis Working Capital Line"Line”) with Bear State Bank, N.A. (the “Lender” or the “Bank”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 to provide working capital to USC, subject to the terms and conditions of the loan agreement.

Interest payments are required to be made quarterly. TheAs amended effective March 31, 2017, the entire outstanding principal balance, and all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums payable pursuant to the loan documents, are due and payable on March 1, 2017,2018, or sooner upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in the loan agreement and related documents. The Company'sCompany’s obligations under the loan agreement are secured by certain collateral, including without limitation its interest in amounts that it has loaned to USC, and a warrant that the Company issued to the Bank to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company'sCompany’s common stock at an exercise price equal to par value per share, exercisable only if the Company is in default under the loan agreement or related loan documents.

On November 14,10, 2016, the Adamis New Working Capital Line with the Bank was amended to include a Certificate of Deposit of the Company for $1.0 million as additional collateral to the working capital line of credit, and to make certain other amendments to the loan documents relating to the Adamis New Working Capital Line, including to the provisions governing the warrant issued to the Bank to provide that if before full repayment of the Company’s obligations under the Adamis New Working Capital Line the value of the sum of (i) the amount of funds in the certificate of deposit plus (ii) the product of (A) the number of unexercised shares under the warrant multiplied by (B) the value of the Company’s common stock, falls below the product of (Y) 1.5 multiplied by (Z) the outstanding principal balance of the note evidencing the Adamis New Working Capital Line, then following delivery of a notice from the Bank to the Company, the Company agrees to either amend the warrant or provide an additional warrant to the Bank to provide the Bank with rights to acquire additional shares of common stock, or reduce the principal balance of the note, to bring the Company in compliance with the foregoing provisions.Line. The $1.0 million in Certificate of Deposit with the Bank, included as collateral, was recorded as Restricted Cash.

Loan Amendment, Forbearance and Assumption Agreement

In connection with our acquisition of USC in April 2016, Lender, Adamis, USC, 4 HIMS and Tribute (USC, 4 HIMS and Tribute sometimes referred to as the “Initial Loan Parties” and together with Adamis, collectively the “Loan Parties”), and certain individual guarantors, entered into a Loan Amendment, Forbearance and Assumption Agreement (the “Loan Amendment Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Loan Amendment Agreement, Adamis was added as a “Borrower” and co-borrower under the existing loan agreements and related loan documents between USC (and certain other entities) and Lender (the “Existing“USC Loan Documents”), and assumed all of the rights, duties, liabilities and obligations as a Borrower and a party under the ExistingUSC Loan Documents, jointly and severally with the current borrower or borrowers under each of the ExistingUSC Loan Documents.

InAs part of the Loan Amendment Agreement, the Initial Loan Parties acknowledged that the Existing Loans were in default with respect to certain nonmonetary covenants contained in the Existing Loan Documents. The Bank agreed that all obligations of the Bank to forbear from pursuing its available remedies to collect the obligations evidenced and secured by the Existing Loan Documents shall conditionally exist until October 31, 2016 (the "Forbearance Period"). During the Forbearance Period, and subject to the terms of the Loan Amendment Agreement and the compliance by the Loan Parties with their obligations under the Loan Amendment Agreement, the Bank agreed that it would not pursue available remedies existing as a result of the Loan Parties’ failure to comply with the nonmonetary covenants of the Loan Parties as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Upon the expiration of the Forbearance Period, all monetary and nonmonetary obligations of the Loan Parties as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents will be fully reinstated or waived. As described above, in connection with the November 2016 amendments to the loan documents with the Bank, the nonmonetary covenants contained in the Existing Loan Documents were amended and modified.

In the Loan Amendment Agreement, each Initial Loan Party reaffirmed its obligations under the Existing Loans and made certain other representations, warranties and agreements regarding the Existing Loans, and the Bank acknowledged that the applicable Borrower was current in its interest payments or other obligations under the applicable Loan Documents that are due and payable before the date of the Loan Amendment Agreement. The parties also agreed that the real and personal property securing each of the ExistingUSC Loans will also secure each of the other ExistingUSC Loans, as well as the Adamis New Working Capital Line of $2.0 million.

Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Amendment Agreement, as amended, the terms and provisions set forth in the ExistingUSC Loan Documents were not modified and remain in full force and effect. Subject

Note 8: Derivative LiabilitiesLiability and Fair Value MeasurementsMeasurement

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)(ASC) 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, provides guidance to determine what types of instruments, or embedded features in an instrument, are considered derivatives. This guidance can affect the accounting for convertible instruments that contain provisions to protect holders from a decline in the stock price, referred to as anti-dilution or down-round protection. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise price of a convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise price of those instruments, or issues new convertible instruments that have a lower exercise price. The Company has determined that the warrant liability and related down-round provision related to the Secured Notes should be treated as derivatives. The Company is required to report derivatives at fair value and record the fluctuations in fair value in current operations.provisions.

The Company recognizes the derivative liabilities at their respective fair values at inception and on each reporting date. The Company values its financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on a nonrecurring basis based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs is used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The Company recognizes derivative liabilities at their respective fair values at inception and on each reporting date. The Company utilized the BOPM to develop its assumptions for determining the fair value of the Warrants and related anti-dilution features.

The number

As of liability classified Warrants outstanding as of September 30,March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015 were zero and 575,164, respectively. As shown in the table below, after the cancellationcarrying value of the Warrants with call options the carrying value at September 30, 2016 was $0$1,878,196 and the carryingCompany recognized a change in fair value of $391,287 in the down-round protection derivativecondensed consolidated statement of operations for the same date was $0. 

The table below provides a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): 

The derivative liabilities are considered Level 3 liabilities on the fair value hierarchy as the determination of fair values includes various assumptions about future activities and stock price and historical volatility inputs.

The following table describes the valuation techniques used to calculate fair values for assets in Level 3. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016 from DecemberMarch 31, 2015. 

Significant unobservable inputs for the derivative liabilities include (1) the estimated probability of the occurrence of a down-round financing during the term over which the related warrants are exercisable, (2) the estimated magnitude of the down-round and (3) the probability of the reset provision being waived. These estimates which are unobservable in the market were utilized to value the anti-dilution features of the warrants as2016. As of December 31, 2015.2016, all of the outstanding Warrants with call options were either exercised or canceled.

As of March 31, 2017, the fair values of the liability classified warrants and warrant derivatives were zero. 

Note 9: License AgreementCommon Stock

On May 9, 2016,January 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Development, License and Commercialization Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Allergan plc’s wholly owned subsidiary, Watson Laboratories, Inc.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted Licensee exclusive commercial rights to market and sell the PFS product in the United States and related territories. Licensee agreed to pay the Company an upfront payment and agreed to make additional potential regulatory, performance and sales based milestone payments. If the FDA does not approve the Company's New Drug Application ("NDA") relating to the PFS product within the time period specified in the Agreement, Licensee has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the Agreement, and if Licensee elects to terminate the Agreement then the upfront payment previously paid to the Company will be refunded.

             On July 21, 2016, the Company received a notice from Licensee exercising its right to terminate the Agreement; in the absence of termination of the Agreement before expiration of the time period specified in the Agreement, any milestone or other payments would not be refundable. No upfront fee or payment was made, and as a result the Company is not obligated to refund any amounts to Licensee as a result of the termination.

Company Overview

We are an emerging pharmaceuticala specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on combining specialty pharmaceuticalsdeveloping and biotechnology to provide innovative medicines for patientscommercializing products in the therapeutic areas of respiratory disease and physicians. We are currently primarily focused on our specialty pharmaceutical products.allergy.  We are currently developing several products in the allergy and respiratory markets, including our Epinephrine Injection pre-filled syringe, or PFS, product for use in the emergency treatment of acute allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis,anaphylaxis; albuterol (APC-2000) and fluticasone (APC-4000) Dry Powder Inhaler, or DPI, products for the treatment of bronchospasm and asthma, respectively; and beclomethasone (APC-1000), a dry powdermetered dose inhaler technology.product for the treatment of asthma.  Our goal is to create low cost therapeutic alternatives to existing treatments. Consistent across all specialty pharmaceuticals product lines, we intend to submit Section 505(b)(2) New Drug Applications, or NDAs, or Section 505(j) Abbreviated New Drug Applications, or ANDAs, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, whenever possible, in order to potentially reduce the time to market and to save on costs, compared to those associated with Section 505(b)(1) NDAs for new drug products. We also have a number of biotechnology product candidates and technologies, including therapeutic vaccine and cancer product candidates and technologies intended to treat patients with unmet medical needs in the global cancer market. To achieve our goals and support our overall strategy, we will need to raise a substantial amount of funding and make significant investments in equipment, new product development and working capital.

The Company is engaged primarily in the discovery, development and sales of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other drug products. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in one operating segment.

Recent Developments

Epinephrine Injection USP 1:1000 0.3mg Pre-filledPre-Filled Single Dose Syringe

On May 28, 2014, we submitted a Section 505(b)(2) NDA application to the FDA for approval for sale of our Epinephrine Injection USP 1:1000 0.3mg Pre-filled Single Dose Syringe, or the Epinephrine PFS product. The Epinephrine PFS product delivers a premeasured dose of epinephrine for the emergency treatment of acute allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.candidate. We received a complete response letter, (“CRL”)or CRL, from the FDA on March 27, 2015. A CRL is issued by the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research when it has completed its review of a file and questions remain that preclude the approval of the NDA in its current form. We resubmitted the NDA on December 4, 2015.

On June 6,3, 2016, we issued a press release announcing that we received a second Complete Response LetterCRL from the FDA regarding our NDA for the Epinephrine PFS product.resubmitted NDA. The CRL indicated that the FDA determined that it could not approve the NDA in its present form. The agency indicated that in order to support approval of the product candidate, the Company must expand its human factors study (patient usability) and reliability study (product stress testing), with new studies, with protocols to be reviewed by the FDA before commencement of the studies. The CRL indicated that the new human factors studystudies would need to provide additional, adequate and satisfactory data and information concerning, among other things, use of the product candidate in different use environments and by different kinds of users and user groups. The CRL included comments on certain other aspects of the product candidate and the materials and data submitted as part of the NDA. The CRL indicated that the agency had reserved comment, if any, on the proposed labeling for the product candidate until the application was otherwise adequate.approvable. The FDA indicated that the NDA will remain open until the issues identified in the CRL are resolved.

The Company is continuing to review the CRL and actions that may be responsive

On December 15, 2016, we resubmitted our NDA to the items raised in the CRL.FDA.  The Company has been in communication with the FDA regarding the CRL and plans to prepare and submit a response to the FDA that will beresubmission was intended to address the itemsissues raised by the FDA in the June 2016 CRL.  Under the FDA’s procedures concerning target response times, the Company believesOn January 19, 2017, we announced that the FDA should respondhad accepted for review our resubmitted NDA.  The FDA indicated that it considered the resubmission to be a complete response to the Company’sCRL. As of the date of filing of this quarterly report, we are not aware of any additional submission withinrequests by the agency for information that we have not previously responded to and provided in connection with our resubmitted NDA. 

There are no assurances that the FDA will approve the resubmitted NDA and grant marketing approval for the Epinephrine PFS product candidate. If the FDA approves the NDA, we hope to receive an approval in time to permit first commercial sales to commence sometime in the third quarter of 2017, although there are no assurances that this will be the case. Under goals established in connection with the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, the FDA’s guidance for the review and acting on Class 2 NDA resubmissions is six months afterfrom the Company’s responsive submission, though that target deadline may be extended ifdate of receipt of the resubmission. However, the FDA’s review processes can extend beyond, and in some cases significantly beyond, anticipated completion dates due to the timing of the FDA’s review process, issuance of an additional CRL, FDA requests for additional data, information, materials or clarification, or for other reasons, such as difficulties scheduling an advisory committee meeting, FDA workload issues, extensions resulting from the submission of additional information or clarification regarding information already in the submission within the last three months of the target PDUFA date, or other reasons. The Company remains committed to attempting to obtain FDA approval of the NDA for the Epinephrine PFS product and commercializing the product, and remains hopeful that the issues and questions raised by the FDA in the CRL will be satisfactorily addressed and the product ultimately approved for marketing. However, the Company cannot provide any assurances concerning if or when the NDA will be approved and whether the Epinephrine PFS product will ultimately be commercialized. In addition, the Company will be required to devote additional cash resources, which could be significant, in order to respond to the issues raised by the FDA in the CRL and any follow-up requests and to design and manufacture the Epinephrine PFS product in a manner that is satisfactory to the FDA.

APC-1000

The Company is continuing development of the APC-1000 product candidate, a steroid hydrofluoroalkane, or HFA, metered dose inhaler product for asthma. Following discussions with the FDA and additional consideration of the development pathway for the product, the Company has decided to conduct additional development work for APC-1000. As a result, the Company intends, depending on the outcomedates of several factors including resultsregulatory approval, if obtained, and commercial introduction of the additional development work and obtaining additional funding that willour product could be required to commence a trial, to submit an IND for APC-1000 during the first half of 2017, although there can be no assurances concerning the timing of any such filing or the commencement of a clinical trial relating to APC-1000 after submission of such an IND.delayed beyond our expectations.

Going Concern and ManagementManagement’s Plan

Our

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in its report on our consolidated financial statements for the yearyears ended December 31, 20152016 and the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 20142015 indicating that we have sustained substantial losses from continuing operations and have used, rather than provided, cash in itsour continuing operations, and incurred recurring losses from operations and have limited working capital to pursue our business alternatives, and that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.alternatives. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had cash of approximately $8,811,000,$1.4 million, including theapproximately $1.0 million in restricted cash, an accumulated deficit of approximately $87.8$94.2 million, and liabilities of approximately $12.0$12.8 million. Even withAs noted below under the proceeds from our July 2016 private placement financing transactionheading “Liquidity and our registered directCapital Resources” and in Note 11 to the financial statements appearing elsewhere herein, in April 2017, we completed an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock resulting in estimated net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and warrants,estimated offering expenses, of approximately $16.1 million.  However, we will need significant funding to continue operations, satisfy our obligations and fund the future expenditures that will be required to conduct the clinical and regulatory work to develop and launch our product candidates and to support our other activities.candidates. Such additional funding may not be available, may not be available on reasonable terms, and could result in significant additional dilution to our stockholders. If we do not obtain required additional equity or debt funding, our cash resources will be depleted and we could be required to materially reduce or suspend operations, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, stock price and our relationships with third parties with whom we have business relationships, at least until additional funding is obtained.

The above conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities during the normal course of business. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, consideration was given to our future business as described elsewhere herein, which may preclude us from realizing the value of certain assets. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Without additional funds from debt or equity financing, sales of assets, sales or out-licenses of intellectual property or technologies, or from a business combination or a similar transaction, after expenditure of our existing cash resources we would exhaust our resources and would be unable to continue operations.

OurOur management intends to attempt to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financings, sales or out-licensing of intellectual property assets, seeking partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies or third parties to co-develop and fund research and development efforts, or similar transactions.transactions, and through revenues from sales of compounded sterile formulations. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any required additional funding. If we are unsuccessful in securing funding from any of these sources, we will defer, reduce or eliminate certain planned expenditures, and delay development or commercialization of some or all of our products.products and reduce the scope of our operations. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

No assurance can be given as to the timing or ultimate success of obtaining future funding. 

As noted we have previously disclosed in our SEC filings, in connection with our acquisition of USC and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement relating to the USC acquisition, we assumed approximately $5,722,000 principal amount of debt obligations under two loan agreements and related loan documents relating to the building, real property and equipment that certain third parties agreed to transfer to the Company or USC in connection with the Merger, as well as the two loan agreements to which USC is a party, a working capital loan and an equipment loan, and related loan documents evidencing loans previously made to USC, and we agreed to become an additional co-borrower under the heading Recent Developments,USC Loan Documents.  The lender in all of the Company will beUSC Loan Documents was First Federal Bank and/or its successor Bear State Bank, referred to as Lender or the Bank.  In November 2016, we entered into amendments of our loan agreements with the Bank.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe 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 apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 have not significantly changed exceptchanged. Refer to Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the following policies that have beenadditional policy adopted during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following criteria have been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from our USC subsidiary consist of sales of compounded drugs for humans and animals, including sterile injectable and non-sterile integrative therapies. Sales discounts and rebates are sometimes offered to customers if specified criteria are met. Additionally, sales are generally made with a limited right of return under certain conditions. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns, which are established at the time of sale.  

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.March 31, 2017.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect on outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and credit to allowance for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible amounts are based on USC's history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. 

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories are determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories consist of compounding formulation raw materials, currently marketed products, and device supplies. A reserve for obsolescence is recorded monthly based on a percentage of raw materials and finished goods inventory.

Acquisitions and Intangibles

The Company has engaged in business combination activity. The accounting for business combinations requires management to make judgments and estimates of the fair value of assets acquired, including the identification and valuation of intangible assets, as well as liabilities assumed. Such judgments and estimates directly impact the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with each acquisition, as goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of its net tangible and identifiable intangible assets.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Assets

 Goodwill, which has an indefinite useful life, represents the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur indicating the potential for impairment. During its goodwill impairment review, the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. The qualitative factors include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the overall financial performance of the Company. If, after assessing the totality of these qualitative factors, the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then no additional assessment is deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Company proceeds to perform the two-step test for goodwill impairment. The first step involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of loss, which involves comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill. The Company may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment in a period and elect to proceed to perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets with definite lives, such as property and equipment, acquired technology, customer relationships, patent and license rights, for impairment by considering competition by products prescribed for the same indication, the likelihood and estimated future entry of non-generic and generic competition with the same or similar indication and other related factors. The factors that drive the estimate of the life are often uncertain and are reviewed on a periodic basis or when events occur that warrant review. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets' book value to future net undiscounted cash flows that the assets are expected to generate.

Claims Liabilities

USC is self-insured up to certain limits for health insurance. Provisions are made for both the estimated liabilities for known claims as incurred and estimates for those incurred but not reported. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was self-insured for up to the first $40,000 of claims per covered person with an aggregate deductible of $766,497.  

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The Company maintains a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the future realization of such assets, which is based on historical taxable income, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. Until such time as the Company can demonstrate that it will no longer incur losses, or if the Company is unable to generate sufficient future taxable income, it could be required to maintain the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016,

Recent accounting pronouncements are disclosed in Note 1 to the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statementaccompanying financial statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.  ASU No. 2016-15 is intended to provide guidance to eight specific cash flow issues.  The amendments have been issued as an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice described above.  The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim fiscal periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.   We do not expect adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a significant impactQuarterly Report on our financial statements.Form 10-Q.   

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, Adamis did not have any off balance sheet arrangements. 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

Not required. 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC'sSEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance of achieving their objectives.  In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, 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 design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As required by the SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls

Except as described in this paragraph, there

There has been no change during the three monthsquarter ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In connection with our acquisition of U.S. Compounding, Inc. (“USC”) in April 2016, we began implementing the Company’s standards and procedures at USC, including controls over accounting systems, financial reporting, and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are continuing to integrate the acquired operations of USC into our overall internal control over financial reporting process.
