Basis of Presentation, Organization and Principal Activities | |
Basis of Presentation, Organization and Principal Activities | 1. Basis of Presentation, Organization and Principal Activities Basis of Presentation CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CASI” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CASI) is a U.S. biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics and pharmaceutical products in China, the United States, and throughout the world. The Company is focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing products that augment its hematology/oncology therapeutic focus as well as other areas of unmet medical need. The Company is executing its plan to become a biopharmaceutical leader by launching medicines in the greater China market leveraging its China-based regulatory, clinical and commercial competencies and its global drug development expertise. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, in which CASI, directly or indirectly, has a controlling financial interest. These subsidiaries include Miikana Therapeutics, Inc. (“Miikana”), CASI Pharmaceuticals (China) Co., Ltd. (“CASI China”), CASI Pharmaceuticals (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. (“CASI Wuxi”), CASI Biopharmaceuticals (WUXI) Co., Ltd. (“CASI Biopharmaceuticals”), and CASI Pharmaceuticals (Hainan) Co., Ltd. (“CASI Hainan”). CASI China is a non-stock Chinese entity with 100% of its interest owned by CASI. CASI China received approval for a business license from the Beijing Industry and Commercial Administration in August 2012 and has operating facilities in Beijing. CASI Hainan is a wholly owned subsidiary of CASI China and was established in June 2021. CASI Biopharmaceuticals is a wholly owned subsidiary of CASI Wuxi and was established in April 2019. The Company controls CASI Wuxi through 80% voting rights (see Note 11). Accordingly, the financial statements of CASI Wuxi have been consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since its inception. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company currently operates in one operating segment, which is the development of innovative therapeutics addressing cancer and other unmet medical needs for the global market. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The accompanying December 31, 2020 financial information was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020. Liquidity Risks and Management’s Plans In 2012, with new leadership, the Company shifted its business strategy to China and has since built an infrastructure in China that includes sales and marketing, medical affairs, regulatory and clinical development and in the foreseeable future, manufacturing. The majority of the Company’s operations are now located in China. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future due to, among other factors, its continuing clinical and development activities and expansion of the Company’s operations. The Company’s Beijing office is primarily responsible for the Company’s day-to-day operations and the Company’s commercial team of over 100 hematology/oncology sales and marketing specialists based in China. CASI Wuxi is part of the long-term strategy to support the Company’s future clinical and commercial manufacturing needs, to manage the Company’s supply chain for certain products, and to develop a GMP manufacturing facility in China. The Company has primarily funded its operations through the proceeds from the sales of common stock. To date, the Company has minimal product revenue and management expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. On March 26, 2021, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,853,658 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Offering”) at a price to the public of $2.05 per share. The gross proceeds to CASI from the Offering were $32.5 million before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by CASI. See Note 12 - Stockholders’ Equity. Taking into consideration the cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2021, the Company believes that it has sufficient resources to fund its operations at least one year beyond the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a consolidated cash balance of $60.4 million. The Company intends to continue to exercise tight controls over operating expenditures and will continue to pursue opportunities, as required, to raise additional capital and will also actively pursue non- or less-dilutive capital raising arrangements. Risks and Uncertainties The Company has experienced operational interruptions as a result of COVID-19, including the temporary disruption of operations in China during 2020 due to a Chinese government mandated quarantine protocol, including mandatory business closures, social distancing measures, and various travel restrictions. In the first quarter 2020, during which the peak of the pandemic occurred in China, the Company experienced some disruptions to its EVOMELA ® To the extent that such events occur, demand for the Company's products may decline, and the Chinese government or other governments may impose additional restrictions resulting in further shutdowns, further work restrictions, and the disruption of the Company’s supply and distribution channels; there can be no assurance that such restrictions will not be imposed again. The Company currently relies on a single source for its supply of EVOMELA ® ® The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the economies and financial markets of many countries, which may result in a period of regional, national, and global economic slowdown or regional, national, or global recessions that could affect the Company's ability to continue to commercialize and expand distribution of EVOMELA ® Clinical trials, whether planned or ongoing, may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted the Company's targeted start time of its CID-103 trial due to the lock-down of many medical facilities in Europe. Study procedures (particularly any procedures that may be deemed non-essential), site initiation, participant recruitment and enrollment, participant dosing, shipment of the Company's product candidates, distribution of clinical trial materials, study monitoring, site inspections and data analysis may be paused or delayed due to changes in hospital or research institution policies, federal, state or local regulations, prioritization of hospital and other medical resources toward COVID-19 efforts, or other reasons related to the pandemic. In addition, there could be a potential effect of COVID-19 on the operations of the health regulatory authorities, which could result in delays of reviews and approvals, including with respect to the Company's product candidates. Any prolongation or de-prioritization of the Company's clinical trials or delay in regulatory review resulting from such disruptions could materially affect the development and study of the Company's product candidates. |

In September 2020, Juventas and its shareholders (including CASI Biopharmaceuticals) agreed to certain terms and conditions required by a new third-party investor to facilitate the Series B financing of Juventas, pursuant to which the Company agreed to amend and supplement the original licensing agreement (the "Supplementary Agreement") by agreeing to pay Juventas certain percentage of profits generated from commercial sales of CNCT19. The Supplementary Agreement also specifies a minimum annual target net profit to be distributed to Juventas and certain other terms and obligations. In return, the Company obtained additional equity interests in Juventas (see Note 4). Under the Supplementary Agreement, Juventas and the Company will jointly market CNCT19, including, but not limited to, establishing medical teams, developing medical strategies, conducting post-marketing clinical studies, establishing Standardized Cell Therapy Centers, establishing and training providers with respect to cell therapy, testing for cell therapy, and monitoring quality controls (cell collection and transfusion, etc.), and patient management (adverse reactions treatment, patients’ follow-up visits, and establishment of a database). The Company also will reimburse Juventas for a portion of Juventas’ marketing expenses as reviewed and approved by a joint commercial committee to be constituted. The Company will continue to be responsible for recruiting and establishing a sales team to commercialize CNCT19. BioInvent International AB In October 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with BioInvent International AB (“BioInvent”) for the development and commercialization of novel anti-FcγRIIB antibody, BI-1206, in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. BioInvent is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of first-in-class immune-modulatory antibodies for cancer immunotherapy. BI-1206 is BioInvent’s lead drug candidate and is being investigated in a Phase 1/2 trial, in combination with anti-PD1 therapy Keytruda ® ® Under the terms of the agreement, BioInvent and CASI will develop BI-1206 in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors, with CASI responsible for commercialization in China and associated markets. CASI made a $5.9 million upfront payment in November 2020 to BioInvent and will pay up to $83 million in development and commercial milestone payments plus tiered royalties in the high-single to mid-double-digit range on net sales of BI-1206. Because BI-1206 underlying the acquired rights has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative uses, the Company expensed $5.9 million as acquired in-process research and development in the fourth quarter of 2020. Black Belt Therapeutics Limited: In April 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with Black Belt Therapeutics Limited (“Black Belt”) for exclusive worldwide rights to CID-103, an investigational anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (Mab) (formerly known as TSK011010). The Company expects that its clinical materials and commercial inventory will be supplied by one or more contract manufacturers with whom the Company has contracted with. Under the terms of the agreement, CASI obtained global rights to CID-103 for an upfront payment of 5 million euros ($5.7 million) as well as certain milestone and royalty payments. In June 2021, the Company achieved the First-Patient-In (FPI) in the Phase 1 dose escalation and expansion study of CID-103, and made $750,000 milestone payment and accrued €250,000 ($305,000) payment under the terms of the agreement. Because CID-103 underlying the acquired rights has not yet reached technological feasibility and has no alternative uses, the Company expensed 5 million euros as acquired in-process research and development in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2019, and $1.06 million as acquired in-process research and development in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cleave Therapeutics, Inc. In March 2021, the Company entered into an exclusive license with Cleave Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cleave”) for the development and commercialization of CB-5339, an oral novel VCP/p97 inhibitor, in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors, in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Cleave is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97 as a novel target in protein homeostasis, DNA damage response and other cellular stress pathways for therapeutic use in the treatment of patients with cancer. CB-5339 is being evaluated by Cleave in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Because CB-5339 has not yet reached technological feasibility and has no alternative uses, the Company expensed $5.5 million as acquired in-process research and development in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Pharmathen Global BV On October 29, 2019, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Pharmathen Global BV ("Pharmathen") for the development and distribution of octreotide long acting injectable (Octreotide LAI) microsphere in China. Octreotide LAI formulations, which are approved in various European countries, are considered a standard of care for the treatment of acromegaly and the control of symptoms associated with certain neuroendocrine tumors. Subject to regulatory and marketing approvals, the Company intends to advance and commercialize this established product in China. The terms of the agreement include an upfront payment of 1 million euros which was paid by the Company in 2019, and up to 2 million euros of additional milestone payments, of which 1.5 million euros ( $1.7 million) was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2020 as acquired in-process research and development following Pharmathen’s achievement of certain milestones. CASI is responsible for the development, import drug registration, product approval and commercialization in China. CASI has a 10-year non-royalty exclusive distribution period after the product launch at agreed supply costs for the first three years . Riemser Pharma GmbH In August 2019, the Company entered into a distribution agreement in China with Riemser Pharma GmbH (“Riemser”) to a novel formulation of thiotepa, a chemotherapeutic agent, which has multiple potential indications including use as a conditioning treatment for use prior to allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Thiotepa has a long history of established use in the hematology/oncology setting. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, CASI obtained the exclusive distribution right of the products in China, and Riemser will be responsible for manufacturing and supplying CASI with clinical materials and commercial inventory. The Company is applying NADA registration and, subject to regulatory and marketing approvals, the Company intends to advance and commercialize this product in China. Acrotech License Arrangements The Company has product rights and perpetual exclusive licenses from Acrotech Biopharma L.L.C. (“Acrotech”) to develop and commercialize its commercial product EVOMELA ® (Melphalan Hydrochloride For Injection) in the greater China region (which includes Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau), as well as similar rights to assets ZEVALIN ® (Ibritumomab Tiuxetan) and MARQIBO ® (Vincristine Sulfate Liposome Injection). The exclusive licenses held by the Company were originally licensed from Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, which they later transferred to Acrotech. On December 3, 2018, the Company received NMPA’s approval for importation, marketing and sales in China and in August 2019 the Company launched EVOMELA ® in China. The NMPA required post-marketing study is ongoing and actively recruiting. The Company is currently evaluating future development options for ZEVALIN ® and MARQIBO ® due to the evolving standard of care environment, the rare and niche indications for these products, and its commitment to prioritize resources. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition Product sales recognized in the consolidated statements of operations are considered revenue from contracts with customers and, accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue using the following steps: ● Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; ● Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; ● Determination of the transaction price, including the identification and estimation of variable consideration; ● Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and ● Recognition of revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue on sales of EVOMELA ® The costs of assurance type warranties that provide the customer the right to exchange purchased product that does not meet appropriate quality standards are recognized when they are probable and are reasonably estimable. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not incur, and therefore did not defer, any material costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. The Company did not have any contract assets or contract liabilities as of June 30, 2021. Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company’s significant accounting estimates relate to recoverability of operating lease right-of-use assets, intangible assets and long-term investments, net realizable value and obsolescence allowance for inventory, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based arrangements and fair value of investments. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. |

Investment in equity securities, at fair value and long-term investments Investment in equity securities, at fair value MaxCyte Inc. The Company has an equity investment in the common stock of MaxCyte, a publicly traded company. The Company’s investment in this equity security is carried at its fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations each reporting period. BioInvent International AB In October 2020, in conjunction with its license agreement entered into with BioInvent (see Note 2), a publicly traded company, CASI made a $6.3 million investment (equivalent to SEK 53.8 million) to acquire 1.2 million new shares (after 25:1 reverse stock split) of BioInvent, and 14,700,000 warrants, each warrant with a right to subscribe for 0.04 shares (after 25:1 reverse stock split) in BioInvent within a period of five years. The investments in the ordinary shares and warrants of BioInvent are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations each reporting period. The fair value of the ordinary shares was measured using its quoted market price, a Level 1 input, and was $7.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and $6.6 million as of December 31, 2020 (see Note 16). The fair value of the warrants was measured using observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, level 2 inputs. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to estimate the fair value of warrants. The fair value of the warrants was $996,000 as of June 30, 2021 and $840,000 as of December 31, 2020 (see Note 16), with assumptions including an expected life of 4.41 years, an assumed volatility of 43.63%, and a risk-free interest rate of -0.15 %.

Unrealized gains or (losses) on the Company’s equity investment are recognized as change in fair value of investment in equity securities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Long-term investments Long-term investments consisted of the following: June 30, December 31, (In thousands) 2021 2020 Available-for-sale debt securities: Black Belt Tx Limited - convertible loan $ 169 $ 83 Securities measured at fair value: BioInvent International AB - warrants 996 840 Cleave Therapeutics, Inc. - convertible loan 5,547 — Equity securities without readily determinable fair value: Black Belt Tx Limited - equity interest 1,385 2,250 Juventas Cell Therapy Ltd - equity interest 26,370 26,059 Juventas Cell Therapy Ltd - put option 212 210 Total $ 34,679 $ 29,442 Alesta Therapeutics B.V. (previously Black Belt Tx Limited) In April 2019, in conjunction with its license agreement the Company entered into with Black Belt (see Note 2), the Company made a 2 million euros ($2,249,600) equity investment in the ordinary shares of a newly established, privately held UK Company, Black Belt Tx Limited (“Black Belt Tx”), representing a 14.1% equity interest with the right to appoint a non-voting board observer. Because the Company does not have significant influence over operating and financial policies of Black Belt Tx, and the equity interests do not yet have readily determinable fair value, the investment in Black Belt Tx is stated at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment. In July 2021, Alesta Therapeutics B.V. (“Alesta Tx”) was incorporated as the parent company holding all shares of Black Belt Tx with same ownership structure as Black Belt Tx. CASI obtained 14.1% equity interest in Alesta Tx in exchange for its 14.1% equity interest in Black Belt Tx. In July 2021, a new investor contributed 750,000 euros to Alesta Tx in exchange for 770,270 common stocks newly issued, representing 8.3% of the fully diluted capital. Upon the completion of the capital contribution, the company’s equity ownership in Alesta Tx was diluted from 14.1% to 12.9% with the fair value of $1,385,000, indicating an impairment of equity investment in Black Belt Tx. The Company recorded impairment of $865,000 representing the difference between the fair value of the investment and its carrying amount during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In July 2020, the Company entered into a three-year convertible loan agreement with Black Belt Tx (the “Black Belt Tx Loan”) in the amount of 211,800 euros ($250,000) with a non-compounding annual interest rate of 6% payable, together with the principal balance, at maturity. The loan principal will be disbursed in three equal installments of 70,600 euros. The first tranche of 70,600 euros ($83,000) was disbursed upon execution of the loan agreement in August 2020. The second tranche of 70,600 euros ($86,000) was disbursed in February 2021, upon Black Belt Tx’s achievement of certain operational targets as stipulated in the loan agreement and approved by the Black Belt Tx’s Board of Directors. The third tranche will be disbursed if Black Belt Tx reaches certain additional operational targets as stipulated in the loan agreement and approved by Black Belt Tx's Board of Directors. In the event that Black Belt Tx, on or prior to the maturity date, completes an equity financing round of at least € 5,000,000 ( $5.9 million), then the outstanding principal amount shall be automatically converted into such shares at 80% of the price per share issued divided by a compensating factor based on the number of years that the Black Belt Tx Loan has been outstanding. The investment in convertible loan is accounted for as investment in debt securities as available-for-sale instrument. In July 2021, Black Belt Tx repaid the convertible loan of 146,566 euros to the Company, including 1st tranche of 70,600 euros, 2nd tranche of 70,600 euros and interest of 5,366 euros. Concurrently, the Company entered into a three-year convertible loan agreement with Alesta Tx (the “Alesta Tx Loan”) in the amount of 217,166 euros with a non-compounding annual interest rate of 6% payable, together with the principal balance, at maturity. Juventas Cell Therapy Ltd In June 2019, in conjunction with its license agreement entered into with Juventas (see Note 2), the Company, through CASI Biopharmaceuticals, made an RMB 80 million ($11,788,000) investment in Juventas, a privately held, China-based company, in Juventas’ Series A plus equity, which represented a 16.327% equity interest on a fully diluted basis, and the right to appoint a non-voting board observer. The Company is entitled to substantive liquidation preference over the founding shareholders of Juventas. In addition, the Juventas’ founding shareholder provided a put option to the Company pursuant to which the Company can put the equity investment to the founding shareholder at a fixed return of 8% per annum upon occurrence of certain events. The investment in the equity interests of the Juventas and the investment in put option to the founding shareholder were accounted for as investments in equity securities using the measurement alternative at its cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, as the fair value of the equity securities of Juventas is not readily determinable. The consideration of RMB 80 million ($11,788,000) was allocated into investment in equity interests and investment in put option based on their relative fair value on the transaction date. In September 2020, in conjunction with the Supplementary Agreement entered into with Juventas (see Note 2), the Company obtained additional Series A plus equity interest in Juventas with substantive liquidation preference over Juventas' founding shareholder, resulting in the Company's equity ownership increasing to 16.45% (post-Juventas Series B financing) on a fully diluted basis. CASI Biopharmaceuticals is also entitled to appoint a director to Juventas’ board of directors. Juventas’ founding shareholder also provided a put option to the Company pursuant to which the Company can put the additional equity investment to the founding shareholder at RMB 70 million plus a fixed return of 8% per annum upon occurrence of certain events. The transaction closed on September 29, 2020. The fair value of the Company’s additional equity interest in Juventas and the new put option was estimated using significant estimates and assumptions, including multiples of selected comparable companies in applying the market approach model. Since the equity interest with substantive liquidation preference is not in-substance common stock, the investment in the additional equity interests of Juventas was accounted for as an investment in equity securities at transaction date fair value with a corresponding credit to Other Liabilities. The profit-sharing liability represents the Company’s obligation to pay an increased share of future profits pursuant to the Supplementary Agreement (see Note 2) which was conveyed by the Company in exchange for the additional equity interests in Juventas. The Company views this as a payment from a vendor that should reduce cost of revenues over the period of royalty payments. The long-term liability will be derecognized as payments are made on a systematic and rational basis representing the pattern in which the Company expects to settle the profit-sharing payment during the commercialization period of CNCT19. The investments are measured using the measurement alternative at its cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, as the fair value of the equity securities of Juventas is not readily determinable. The Company did not record any adjustments or impairments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 related to this investment. In June 2020, the Company entered into a one-year loan agreement with Juventas in the amount of RMB 30,000,000 ($4,243,000) with an annual interest rate of 20%. In August 2020, the Company entered into another one-year Cleave Therapeutics, Inc. In March 2021, Cleave and the Company entered into a license agreement. Cleave and the Company will develop CB-5339 in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors, with CASI responsible for development and commercialization in China and associated markets. Cleave received a $5.5 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $74 million in development and commercial milestone payments plus tiered royalties in the high-single to mid-double-digit range on net sales of CB-5339. In addition to the upfront cash payment, CASI made a $5.5 million investment in Cleave through a three-year convertible note with a non-compounding annual interest rate of 3% payable at maturity. The principal balance is also due at maturity. The proceeds will support and advance Cleave’s programs and general operations. In the event that Cleave, on or prior to the maturity date, completes an equity financing round of preferred stock of at least $10.0 million, then the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest shall be automatically converted into such shares at 80% of the price per share issued. The investment in the convertible loan is designated an investment measured at fair value through profit or loss. |

Leases | 6. Leases Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating lease liabilities (see below) are included in accrued liabilities and other liabilities (noncurrent) in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. All of the Company’s existing leases as of June 30, 2021 are classified as operating leases. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had seven material operating leases for land and facilities with remaining terms expiring from 2021 through 2069 and a weighted average remaining lease term of 34.31 years. The Company has fair value renewal options for many of the Company’s existing leases, none of which are considered reasonably certain of being exercised or included in the minimum lease term. Weighted average discount rates used in the calculation of the lease liability is 3.60%. The discount rates reflect the estimated incremental borrowing rate, which includes an assessment of the credit rating to determine the rate that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis for a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In November 2019, CASI Wuxi entered into a fifty-year lease agreement for the right to use state-owned land in China for the construction of a manufacturing facility. The land parcel is 74,028.40 square meters. The Company classifies this lease as an operating lease. The Company prepaid all of the lease payments for the land use right in 2019 in the amount of RMB 45 million (equivalent to $6.5 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, two operating leases expired, of which, one operating lease was renewed. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $789,000 and $749,000, respectively. There were no variable lease costs or sublease income for leased assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Intangible Assets | 7. Intangible Assets Intangible assets include ANDAs that were acquired as part of 2018 asset acquisitions of U.S. marketed generic products, as well as capitalized costs related to a cloud computing arrangement (CCA). These intangible assets were originally recorded at relative estimated fair values based on the purchase price for the asset acquisitions and are stated net of accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The ANDAs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 13 years, using the straight-line method. The CCA is being amortized over its useful life of 5 years. In February 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with Chartwell Rx Sciences, LLC (“Chartwell”) in which the Company sold and transferred the control of seven U.S. FDA-approved ANDAs to Chartwell in exchange for $450,000 in cash, which the Company received in March 2020. These ANDAs had a net book value of $0 at the time of sale. The Company is entitled to an additional $1 million, contingent upon Chartwell receiving certain FDA approvals relating to certain of these ANDAs. The Company recognized a gain on disposal of intangible assets in the amount of $450,000 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The additional $1 million is treated as variable consideration. Because the amount of variable consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence and the Company’s experience with similar types of contracts is limited, the Company did not include the amount of variable consideration in recognition of gain on disposal of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company will recognize the variable consideration and additional gain on disposal of intangible assets when the constraint on variable consideration is resolved, i.e., Chartwell receives relevant FDA approvals. As of June 30, 2021, no FDA approvals has been obtained by Chartwell on those products. Intangible assets at June 30, 2021 consists of the following: (In thousands) Asset Purchase Price Accumulated Amortization Estimated useful lives ANDAs $ 15,832 (3,217) 13 years Others 197 (121) 5 years Total $ 16,029 $ (3,338) The changes in intangible assets for six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows: (In thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 13,210 Amortization expense (674) Foreign currency translation adjustment 155 Balance as of June 30, 2021 $ 12,691 Expected future amortization expense, is as follows: (In thousands) 2021 (remaining six months) $ 667 2022 1,334 2023 1,334 2024 1,303 2025 1,303 2026 and thereafter 6,750 |

The grant will be amortized over the term of the lease of the land. Since April 2020, the Company has recognized RMB 401,000 in deferred income as of June 30, 2021, and therefore, RMB 15.5 million (equivalent to $2.4 million) remain as deferred income in the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | 11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest On December 26, 2018, the Company, together with Wuxi Jintou Huicun Investment Enterprise, a limited partnership organized under Chinese law (“Wuxi LP”) established CASI Wuxi to build and operate a manufacturing facility in the Wuxi Huishan Economic Development Zone in Jiangsu Province, China. The Company holds 80% of the equity interests in CASI Wuxi and will invest, over time, $80 million in CASI Wuxi. The Company’s investment will consist of (i) $21 million in cash (paid in February 2019), (ii) a transfer of selected ANDAs valued at $30 million (transferred in May 2019), and (iii) an additional $29 million cash payment within three years from the date of establishment of CASI Wuxi. The payment schedule has been changed into three installments of $10 million paid in July 2021, $10 million and $9 million to be paid in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Wuxi LP holds 20% of the equity interest in CASI Wuxi through its investment in RMB of $20 million in cash (paid in March 2019). As the transfer of ANDAs valued at $30 million was to the Company’s consolidated subsidiary (CASI Wuxi), the Company recognized the transfer of the ANDAs at their carrying value and did not recognize a gain on the transfer. Pursuant to the investment contract between the Company and Wuxi LP and Articles of Association of CASI Wuxi, the Company has the call option to purchase the 20% equity interest in CASI Wuxi held by Wuxi LP at any time within 5 years from the date of establishment of CASI Wuxi (i.e. up to December 26, 2023). Wuxi LP has the put option to require the Company to redeem the 20% equity interest in CASI Wuxi at any time after December 26, 2023. The redemption value under both the Company’s embedded put option and Wuxi LP’s embedded call option is equal to $20 million plus interest at the bank loan interest rate issued by the People's Bank of China for the period beginning with the initial capital contribution by Wuxi LP to the date of redemption. In addition, Wuxi LP has the put option to require the Company to redeem the 20% equity interest in CASI Wuxi at $20 million upon the occurrence of any of the following conditions: (i) the Company fails to fulfill its investment obligation to CASI Wuxi; (ii) CASI Wuxi suffers serious losses, discontinued operation, dissolution, goes into process of bankruptcy liquidation; or (iii) the Company substantially violates the investment contract and Articles of Association of CASI Wuxi. The investment of Wuxi LP in CASI Wuxi is treated as redeemable noncontrolling interest and is classified outside of permanent equity on the consolidated balance sheets because (1) the noncontrolling interest is not mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, and (2) it is redeemable at the option of the holder, or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company. The Company initially recorded the redeemable noncontrolling interest at its fair value of $20 million. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is subsequently recorded at the greater of the amount of (1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest’s share of net income or loss in CASI Wuxi or (2) the redemption value, assuming the noncontrolling interest is redeemable at the balance sheet date. Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 22,164 $ 20,878 $ 22,033 $ 20,670 Cash contribution by Wuxi LP — — — — Share of CASI Wuxi net loss (317) (166) (666) (275) Accretion of redeemable noncontrolling interest 519 362 1,067 679 Foreign currency translation adjustment 331 — 263 — Balance at end of period $ 22,697 $ 21,074 $ 22,697 $ 21,074 |

Stock-Based Compensation On June 15, 2021, the 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) was approved by the Company's stockholders to replace the Company’s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). Currently, the 2021 Plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that are available for grants and awards equals to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which includes 10,726,673 shares of Common Stock remaining under the Company’s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) as of April 12, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, a total of 19,145,448 shares remained available for grant under the Company’s 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Company’s net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 includes $3.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of the Company’s share-based compensation. The share-based compensation expenses are recorded as components of general and administrative expense, selling and marketing expense, and research and development expense, as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2021 2020 Research and development $ 141 $ 211 Sales and Marketing 74 — General and administrative 2,823 3,681 Share-based compensation expense $ 3,038 $ 3,892 Compensation expense related to stock options is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting term of up to five years. Awards with performance conditions are expensed when it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, $129,000 and $36,000 was expensed for stock option awards with performance conditions that were probable during the period, respectively. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to estimate the fair value of service based and performance-based stock options granted to employees. Option valuation models, including Black-Scholes-Merton, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the grant date fair value of an award. These assumptions include the risk-free interest rate, expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and the expected life of the award. Following are the weighted-average assumptions used in valuing the stock options granted to employees during the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020: Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Expected volatility 80.07 % 77.59 % Range of expected volatility 77.37% to 81.5 % 75.84% to 81.63 % Range of risk free interest rate 0.72% to 1.22 % 0.34% to 1.77 % Expected term of option 6.27 years 6.03 years Expected dividend yield 0.00 % 0.00 % The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $1.19 and $1.99, respectively. A summary of changes in options under the Company’s stock option plans during the six month period ended June 30, 2021 is as follows: Weighted Average Number of Options Exercise Price Outstanding at December 31, 2020 16,746,238 $ 2.71 Exercised — $ — Granted 9,249,552 $ 1.80 Expired (334,000) $ 4.80 Forfeited (881,250) $ 2.65 Cancelled — $ — Outstanding at June 30, 2021 24,780,540 $ 2.34 Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2021 24,780,540 $ 2.34 Exercisable at June 30, 2021 13,670,488 $ 2.46 Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurements | |
Fair Value Measurements | 16. Fair Value Measurements The majority of the Company’s financial instruments (consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable and bank borrowings) are carried at cost which approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s investments in equity securities are carried at fair value, and investments in convertible loans are carried at fair value (see Note 4). Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: ● Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. ● Level 2—Observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 3—Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company evaluates financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them each reporting period. This determination requires the Company to make subjective judgments as to the significance of inputs used in determining fair value and where such inputs lie within the hierarchy. The Company has equity investments in the common stock of two publicly traded companies. The Company’s investments in these equity securities are carried at their estimated fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss each reporting period (see Note 4). The fair value of the common stock is based on quoted market price for the investees’ common stock, a Level 1 input. The Company has an equity investment in the warrants of a publicly traded company. The Company’s investment is carried at its estimated fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss each reporting period (see Note 4). The fair value of the warrants was measured using observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, level 2 inputs. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to estimate the fair value of warrants. Option valuation models, including Black-Scholes-Merton, require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the fair value determination of a warrant. The Company has an investment in the convertible debt of a privately held UK Company. The Company’s investment is carried at its estimated fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss each reporting period (see Note 4) using Level 3 input. The Company has an investment in the convertible debt of a privately held California Company. The Company’s investment is carried at its estimated fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss each reporting period (see Note 4) using Level 3 input. The Company uses the Binomial model to estimate the fair value of the convertible debt. The following tables present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, by level within the fair value hierarchy: (In thousands) Fair Value at Description June 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Investments in Current and non-Current Assets Investments in common stock $ 12,588 $ 12,588 $ — $ — Investment in warrants - Designated as investment measured at FVTPL $ 996 $ — $ 996 $ — Investment in convertible loan - AFS $ 169 $ — $ — $ 169 Investment in convertible loan - Designated as investment measured at FVTPL $ 5,547 $ — $ — $ 5,547 (In thousands) Fair Value at Description December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Investments in Current and non-Current Assets Investments in common stock $ 9,309 $ 9,309 $ — $ — Investment in warrants - Designated as investment measured at FVTPL $ 840 $ — $ 840 $ — Investment in convertible loan - AFS $ 83 $ — $ — $ 83 Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The Company measures equity investments without readily determinable fair values at its cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable transactions of identical or similar securities of the same issuer. On June 30, 2021, the Company remeasured the investment in equity securities in Black Belt (see Note 4) to the fair value of $1,385,000. The Company estimated the fair value of the securities using Level 2 inputs based on the transaction price of identical securities issued by the investee. Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company has no non-financial assets and liabilities Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The Company has no non-financial assets and liabilities |
