HARROW HEALTH, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

(All dollar amounts are expressed in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Company and Background

 

Harrow Health, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, partially owned companies and royalty arrangements unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, the “Company” or “Harrow”) is an ophthalmic-focused healthcare company that specializes in the development, production and sale of innovative medications that offer unique competitive advantages and serve unmet needs in the marketplace through its subsidiaries and deconsolidated companies. The Company owns one of the nation’s leading ophthalmology-focused pharmaceutical businesses, ImprimisRx. In addition to wholly owning ImprimisRx, the Company also has non-controlling equity positions in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), both companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. In 2020, Harrow created Visionology, Inc. (“Visionology”), which recently launched an online eye health platform business. Harrow also owns royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any other period. For further information, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto 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 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Harrow consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds and/or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as our majority owned subsidiaries Mayfield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mayfield”) and Stowe Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Stowe”).

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following represents an update for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Risks, Uncertainties and Liquidity

 

The Company is subject to certain regulatory standards, approvals, guidelines and inspections which could impact the Company’s ability to make, dispense, and sell certain products. If the Company was required to cease compounding and selling certain products as a result of regulatory guidelines or inspections, this may have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

 

Segments

 

The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is its Chief Executive Officer who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information of our operating segments. The Company has identified two operating segments as reportable segments. See Note 16 for more information regarding the Company’s reportable segments.

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company recognizes any noncontrolling interest as a separate line item in equity in the condensed consolidated financial statements. A noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in a less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary not attributable to the Company. Generally, any interest that holds less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is deemed to be a noncontrolling interest; however, there are other factors, such as decision-making rights, that are considered as well. The Company includes the amount of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated net loss on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company provides in the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity a reconciliation at the beginning and the end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity, equity attributable to the parent, and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interest that separately discloses:

 

  (1) Net income or loss;
  (2) transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions from and distributions to owners; and
  (3) each component of other income or loss.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options and warrants, outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares (using the treasury stock method) from stock options, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and warrants were 5,657,046 and 5,447,716 at September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the common equivalent shares are excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive. Included in the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share calculation were RSUs awarded to directors that had vested, but the issuance and delivery of the shares are deferred until the director resigns. The number of shares underlying vested RSUs at September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 258,117 and 281,507, respectively.

 

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

 

                 
   For the Three Months Ended   For the Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2021   2020   2021   2020 
                 
Numerator – net (loss) income attributable to Harrow Health, Inc. common stockholders  $(8,328)  $8,638   $(11,061)  $(4,506)
Denominator - weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic   27,112,531    25,921,573    26,626,722    25,880,554 
Net (loss) income per share, basic  $(0.31)  $0.33   $(0.42)  $(0.17)

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company had net income. As a result, the Company computed diluted net income per share using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Diluted common equivalent shares for the three months ended September 30, 2020, consisted of the following:

 

   For the Three Months Ended 
   September 30, 2020 
     
Diluted shares related to:     
Warrants   504,742 
Stock options   663,745 
Dilutive common equivalent shares   1,168,487

Investment in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1,518,000 shares of its Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”) common stock through an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $7.00 per share (the “Eton Stock Sale”). The gross proceeds to the Company from the Eton Stock Sale were $10,626, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company of $799. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a realized loss of $1,406 related to the Eton Stock Sale.

 

Following the Eton Stock Sale and as of September 30, 2021, the Company owns 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock, which represents less than 10% of the equity interests of Eton. At September 30, 2021, the fair market value of Eton’s common stock was $5.04 per share. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, the Company recorded an unrealized investment gain (loss) from its Eton common stock position of $(2,220) and $(7,233), during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $8,575 and $2,450 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, related to the change in fair market value of its investment in Eton during the measurement period. As of September 30, 2021, the fair market value of the Company’s investment in Eton was $9,989.

 

As part of the Eton Stock Sale, the Company agreed, for a period of 180 days, not to conduct any further sales of shares of its common stock of Eton or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any common stock of Eton (or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the common stock of Eton).

 

Investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. – Related Party

 

The Company owns 3,500,000 common shares (which is approximately 46% of the equity interests as of September 30, 2021) of Melt and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment, as management has determined that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Melt. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Melt in its condensed consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Melt accordingly. The Company’s share of earnings and losses are based on the Company’s ownership interest of Melt. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded equity in the net losses of Melt of $706 and $300, and $1,653 and $1,536 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s investment in Melt was $0 and $1,655. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $8 and $851, respectively, due from Melt for reimbursable expenses and amounts due under a Management Services Agreement between the Company and Melt (the “Melt MSA”), which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

See Note 4 for more information and related party disclosure regarding Melt.

Investment in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. – Related Party

 

The Company owns 3,500,000 common shares (which is approximately 20% of the equity interests following the close of a round of financing completed by Surface in July 2021) of Surface and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment, as management has determined that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Surface. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Surface in its condensed consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Surface accordingly. The Company’s share of earnings and losses are based on the Company’s ownership interest of Surface. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated.

Impairment of Equity Method Investments and Note Receivable

 

On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments and note receivable may be other than temporarily impaired. Indicators include financial condition, operating performance, and near-term prospects of the investee. To the extent indicators suggest that a loss in value may have occurred, the Company will evaluate both quantitative and qualitative factors to determine if the loss in value is other than temporary. If a potential loss in value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the estimated fair value of the equity method investments and note receivable. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no indicators of impairment existed.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, other overhead expenses, and costs related to clinical trials, contract services and outsourced contracts. We expense all costs related to R&D as they are incurred.

 

Upfront and milestone payments related to the acquisition and licensing of technology for drug and product candidates that are not yet approved by the FDA are considered acquisition of in process R&D and expensed as R&D in the period in which the expense occurs.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period items and amounts have been reclassified to conform to the classifications used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the current period. These reclassifications had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as previously reported.

 

NOTE 3. REVENUES

 

The Company accounts for contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company has three primary streams of revenue: (1) revenue recognized from our sale of products within our pharmacy services, (2) revenue recognized from a commission agreement with a third party and (3) revenue recognized from intellectual property license and asset purchase agreements.

Product Revenues from Pharmacy Services

 

The Company sells prescription drugs directly through our pharmacy and outsourcing facility network. Revenue from our pharmacy services division includes: (i) the portion of the price the client pays directly to us, net of any volume-related or other discounts paid back to the client, (ii) the price paid to us by individuals, and (iii) customer copayments made directly to the pharmacy network. Sales taxes are not included in revenue. Following the core principles of ASC 606, we have identified the following:

 

  1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer: A contract exists with a customer at the time the prescription or order is received by the Company.
     
  2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract: The order received contains the performance obligations to be met, in almost all cases the product the customer is wishing to receive. If we are unable to meet the performance obligation, the customer is notified.
     
  3. Determine the transaction price: the transaction price is based on the product being sold to the customer and any related customer discounts. These amounts are pre-determined and built into our order management software.
     
  4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: The transaction price associated with the product(s) being ordered is allocated according to the pre-determined amounts.
     
  5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation: At the time of shipment from the pharmacy or outsourcing facility, the performance obligation has been met.

 

The following revenue recognition policy has been established for the pharmacy services division:

 

Revenues generated from prescription or office use drugs sold by our pharmacies and outsourcing facility are recognized when the prescription is shipped. At the time of shipment, the pharmacy services division has performed substantially all of its obligations under its client contracts and does not experience a significant level of returns or reshipments. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) is based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. The Company records reductions to revenue for discounts at the time of the initial sale. Estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period during which the related sales are recorded and are based on actual returns history. The rate of returns is analyzed annually to determine historical returns experience. If the historical data we use to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future returns, then a change in the allowance would be made in the period in which such a determination is made and revenues in that period could be materially affected. The Company will defer any revenues received for a product that has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered and no refund will be required.

 

Commission Revenues

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement whereby it is paid a fee calculated based on sales it generates from a pharmaceutical product that is owned by a third party. The revenue earned from this arrangement is recognized at the time a customer has ordered the pharmaceutical product and it has shipped from the third party (or one of its distributors or affiliates), at which point there is no future performance obligation required by the Company and no consequential continuing involvement on the part of the Company to recognize the associated revenue.

 

Intellectual Property License Revenues

 

As of September 30, 2021, we are party to four intellectual property licenses and asset purchase agreements in which we have agreed to grant a license and which provide a customer with the right to access the Company’s intellectual property. License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, data transfer fees, research reimbursement payments, exclusive license rights to patented or patent pending compounds, technology access fees, and various performance or sales milestones. These arrangements can be multiple-element arrangements, the revenue of which is recognized at the point in time at which the performance obligation is met.

 

Non-refundable fees that are not contingent on any future performance by the Company and require no consequential continuing involvement on the part of the Company are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology, compounded drug preparation and/or other deliverable is delivered. Such deliverables may include physical quantities of compounded drug preparations, design of the compounded drug preparations and structure-activity relationships, the conceptual framework and mechanism of action, and rights to the patents or patent applications for such compounded drug preparations. The Company defers recognition of non-refundable fees if it has continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee and that are separate and independent of the Company’s performance under the other elements of the arrangement. In addition, if the Company’s continued involvement is required, through research and development services that are related to its proprietary know-how and expertise of the delivered technology or can only be performed by the Company, then such non-refundable fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement. Guaranteed minimum annual royalties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term.

Revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, consists of the following:

 

                 
   For the Three Months Ended   For the Nine Months Ended

Deferred revenue and customer deposits at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were $3 and $66, respectively. All deferred revenue and customer deposit amounts at December 31, 2020 were recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 12. DEBT

 

8.625% Senior Notes Due 2026

 

In April 2021, the Company closed an offering of $50,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due in April 2026, and in May 2021 issued an additional $5,000 of such notes pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional notes (collectively, the “April Notes”). The April Notes were sold to investors at a par value of $25.00 per April Note and the offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $51,909 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of $3,091. In June 2021, in a further issuance of the April Notes, the Company sold an additional $20,000 aggregate principal amount of such notes (the “June Notes,” and together with the April Notes, the “Notes”), at a price of $25.75 per June Note, with interest of $278 on the June Notes being accrued from April 20, 2021 as of the date of issuance. The June offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $19,164 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of $1,158 and a premium on note issuance of $322. The June Notes are treated as a single series with the April Notes under the indenture governing the April Notes, dated as of April 20, 2021, and have the same terms as the April Notes (other than the initial offering price and issue date). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on July 31, 2021. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2026. The issuance costs were recorded as a debt discount and are being amortized as interest expense, net of the amortization of the premium on note issuance, over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method.

 

Prior to February 1, 2026, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option on or after February 1, 2026 and prior to maturity, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the redeemed Notes.

 

Interest expense related to the Notes totaled $1,464 and $2,930 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and included amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $197 and $389 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

SWK Senior Note – Paid in April 2021

 

In July 2017, the Company and several of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into a term loan and security agreement in the principal amount of $16,000 (the “SWK Loan Agreement” or “SWK Loan”) with SWK Funding LLC and its partners (collectively, “SWK”), as lender and collateral agent. The SWK Loan Agreement was fully funded at closing with a five-year term; however, such term could be reduced to four years if certain revenue requirements were not achieved. The SWK Loan was secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property rights. The SWK Loan was subsequently amended in May 2019 and again in April 2020. The SWK Loan bore an interest rate equal to the three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (subject to a minimum of 2.00%), plus an applicable margin of 10.00% (the “Margin Rate”); provided that, if, two days prior to a payment date, the Company provided SWK evidence that the Company has achieved a leverage ratio as of such date of less than 4.00:1:00, the Margin Rate shall equal 9.00%; and if the Company had achieved a leverage ratio as of such date of less than 3.00:1:00, the Margin Rate shall equal 7.00%. The leverage ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of: (a) indebtedness as of such date to (b) EBITDA (as defined in the SWK Loan), of the Company for the immediately preceding 12 month period, adding-back (i) actual litigation expenses for the immediately preceding 12 month period, minus (ii) actual litigation expenses for the immediately preceding 3 month period multiplied by 4.

 

16
 

 

A summary of the material changes contained in the amendment entered into with SWK in April 2020 was as follows:

 

  SWK agreed to make available to the Company, and the Company drew down on, an additional principal amount of $1,000;
  The definition of the first amortization date was changed to August 14, 2020, permitting the Company to pay interest only on the principal amount loaned for the next payment (payments are due on a quarterly basis) following the SWK Second Amendment; and
  The interest payment of $358 due May 14, 2020 was paid in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the term loans by an amount equal to the interest accrued as of such date.

 

Interest expense related to the SWK Loan Agreement, as amended, amounted to $0 and $647 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $501 and $1,566 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and included amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts of $0 and $96 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $111 and $354 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

 

In April 2021, the Company paid $15,540 related to all outstanding obligations to SWK under the SWK Loan, including outstanding principal, accrued interest, accrued exit fee and related expenses and recorded a loss from early extinguishment of $756 related to the SWK Loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan – Forgiven in March 2021

 

In April 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note and related Business Loan Agreement with Renasant Bank, as lender, for a loan (the “PPP Loan”) in the principal amount of $1,967 and received cash proceeds of the same amount, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The PPP is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). On March 30, 2021, the Company received a notice of forgiveness of the full balance of the PPP Loan, including all accrued interest, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CARES Act. Related to the forgiveness, the Company recorded a gain on the forgiveness of the PPP Loan for the loan balance of $1,967 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

At September 30, 2021, future minimum payments under the Company’s debt were as follows:

NOTE 14. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Preferred Stock

 

At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, authorized and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

 

Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock – Redeemed in June 2021

 

In May 2021, the Company sold 440,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for net proceeds of approximately $10,655. The Series B Preferred Stock was not convertible into our common stock, had no voting rights, except as required by Delaware law, and was redeemable by the Company at any time. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 9.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per year; provided, however, that for each thirty (30) day period following May 5, 2021, the dividend rate increased at various rates, except as otherwise limited by applicable law.

In June 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The redemption price for the 440,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding was equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, which in aggregate totaled $11,127.

Stock Option Plan

 

On September 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the Company’s 2007 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, which was subsequently amended on November 5, 2008, February 26, 2012, July 18, 2012, May 2, 2013 and September 27, 2013 (as amended, the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan reached its term in September 2017, and we can no longer issue additional awards under this plan, however, options previously issued under the 2007 Plan will remain outstanding until they are exercised, reach their maturity or are otherwise cancelled/forfeited. On June 13, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the Company’s 2017 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan which was subsequently amended on June 3, 2021 (as amended, the “2017 Plan” together with the 2007 Plan, the “Plans”). As of September 30, 2021, the 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purpose of the Plans are to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in the Company’s development and financial success. Under the Plans, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company had 2,400,592 shares available for future issuances under the 2017 Plan at September 30, 2021.

Stock Options

 

A summary of stock option activity under the Plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows:

 

   Number of Shares   Weighted Avg. Exercise Price   Weighted Avg. Remaining Contractual Life   Aggregate Intrinsic Value 
Options outstanding – January 1, 2021   3,030,033   $5.43           
Options granted   77,000   $8.13           
Options exercised   (25,480)  $2.62           
Options cancelled/forfeited   (41,199)  $5.88           
Options outstanding – September 30, 2021   3,040,354   $5.52    5.03   $10,868 
Options exercisable   2,403,938   $5.07    4.71   $9,672 
Options vested and expected to vest   2,976,713   $5.48    5.00   $10,748 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount of the proceeds, net of exercise price, which would have been received by option holders if all option holders had exercised and immediately sold all shares underlying options with an exercise price lower than the market price on September 30, 2021, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $9.09 on that date.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted stock options to certain employees and a consultant. The stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the current market price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the securities exchange on which the common stock was then listed, at the grant date and have contractual terms of 10 years. Vesting terms for options granted to employees and consultants during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, generally included the following vesting schedules: 25% of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable quarterly in equal installments thereafter over three years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans) and in the event of certain modifications to the option award agreement.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected term of options granted to employees and directors was determined in accordance with the “simplified approach,” as the Company has limited, relevant, historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The financial statement effect of forfeitures is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, if the actual effect differs from those estimates. For option grants to employees and directors, the Company assigns a forfeiture factor of 10%. These factors could change in the future, which would affect the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. Utilizing these assumptions, the fair value is determined at the date of grant.

 

The table below illustrates the fair value per share determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions used for valuing options granted to employees:

 

   2021 
Weighted-average fair value of options granted  $5.25 
Expected terms (in years)   5-6.11 
Expected volatility   69-74%
Risk-free interest rate   0.39-0.45%
Dividend yield   -

$2.76 - $4.66   505,000    4.96   $3.99    454,621   $3.98 
$5.49 - $6.36   470,350    6.34   $6.12    384,482   $6.14 
$6.64 - $8.99   1,313,241    4.68   $7.87    813,485   $7.95 
$1.47 - $8.99   3,040,354    5.03   $5.52    2,403,938   $5.07 

 

As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $1,656 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted under the Plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 5.25 years. The stock-based compensation for all stock options was $355 and $1,376 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

 

The intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $69 and $146, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock Units/ Performance Stock Units

 

RSU awards are granted subject to certain vesting requirements and other restrictions, including performance and market-based vesting criteria. The grant date fair value of the RSUs, which has been determined based upon the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, is expensed over the vesting period of the RSUs.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 300,000 RSUs with a fair market value of $2,670 were issued to certain employees; the RSUs vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s board of directors were granted 38,576 RSUs with a fair market value of $400, which vest in equal quarterly installments over one year.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,567,913 performance stock units (“PSUs”) to members of its senior management including Mark Baum, Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Boll, Chief Financial Officer, and John Saharek, President of ImprimisRx , which are subject to the satisfaction of certain market-based and continued service conditions (the “2021 PSUs”). The 2021 PSUs are separated into four tranches and require that the Company achieve and maintain certain levels of total stockholder returns (“TSR”) ranging from 50% to 175% per share during the five-year period following the grant date. TSR is based on the aggregate of: (i) the percent increase of the closing price of the Company’s common stock from July 22, 2021; and (ii) any dividends or like stockholder distributions as specified in the table below. With certain limited exceptions, in addition to reaching the TSR targets, the employee must be employed with the Company on the second anniversary of the grant date in order for the 2021 PSUs to vest.

 

Tranche  Number of Shares   TSR  Target Share Price* 
Tranche 1   223,988   50% or greater  $11.70 
Tranche 2   335,981   100% or greater  $15.60 
Tranche 3   447,975   150% or greater  $19.50 
Tranche 4   559,969   175% or greater  $21.45 

 

*Target Share Price assumes that no dividends or like distributions are made to shareholders of the Company. If such distributions are made, the Target Share Price would decrease accordingly, to the benefit of the employee, to account for the dividend/distribution as a part of TSR.

 

The fair value of the 2021 PSUs was $10,113 using a Monte Carlo Simulation with a five-year life, 75% volatility and a risk free interest rate of 0.72%. This amount is being amortized over a two-year derived service period.

RSUs cancelled/forfeited   -    - 
RSUs unvested at September 30, 2021   2,242,845   $6.80 

 

As of September 30, 2021, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was approximately $12,379, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.73 years, based on estimated and actual vesting schedules of the applicable RSUs. The stock-based compensation for RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,340 and $2,167, respectively.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal

 

Novel Drug Solutions et al.

 

In April 2018, Novel Drug Solutions, LLC and Eyecare Northwest, PA (collectively “NDS”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware asserting various claims, including breach of contract. The claims stem from an asset purchase agreement between the Company and NDS entered into in 2013. In July 2019, NDS filed a second amended complaint which added claims related to its purported termination of the asset purchase agreement. In October 2019, NDS voluntarily dismissed all but two claims, leaving only claims related to the scope and performance of the post-termination obligations to be litigated. On November 8, 2021, following a jury trial, the Company and NDS entered into a voluntary settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve all claims and pending matters related to this lawsuit. The Company estimates the Settlement Agreement will result in a single one-time payment of $1,500 to NDS. Except for the one-time payment, the Company does not expect the Settlement Agreement will have any future material impact on the Company’s consolidated cash flows, financial position, and results of operations. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had accrued an estimate of $1,500 in selling, general and administrative expenses owed to NDS as a result of the Settlement Agreement.

 

Product and Professional Liability

 

Product and professional liability litigation represents an inherent risk to all firms in the pharmaceutical and pharmacy industry. We utilize traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to our product and professional liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects current market conditions, including cost and availability, when the policy is written.

 

John Erick et al.

 

In January 2018, John Erick and Deborah Ferrell, successors-in-interest and heirs of Jade Erick, (collectively “Erick”) filed a lawsuit in the San Diego County Superior Court against Kim Kelly, ND, MPH asserting claims related to the death of Jade Erick. In April 2018, Erick filed an amendment to the lawsuit, naming the Company as a co-defendant. In September 2018, co-defendant Dr. Kelly filed a cross-complaint against the Company and various entities affiliated with Spectrum Laboratory Products, Inc., Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing Corp. and Spectrum Pharmacy Products, Inc. (collectively “Spectrum”). The cross-complaint sought indemnity and contribution from the Company and Spectrum. In November 2021, the lawsuit involving the Company was resolved. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the resolution of the case for the Company.

 

General and Other

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and it may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert its rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation.

 

23
 

 

Indemnities

 

In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s governing documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements with each of the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. The Company also indemnifies its lessors in connection with its facility leases for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Klarity License Agreement – Related Party

The Company has acquired and sourced intellectual property rights related to certain proprietary innovations from certain inventors and related parties (the “Inventors”) through multiple asset purchase agreements, license agreements, strategic agreements and commission agreements. In general, these agreements provide that the Inventors will cooperate with the Company in obtaining patent protection for the acquired intellectual property and that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize a product based on the acquired intellectual property. In addition, the Company has acquired a right of first refusal on additional intellectual property and drug development opportunities presented by these Inventors.

 

In consideration for the acquisition of the intellectual property rights, the Company is obligated to make payments to the Inventors based on the completion of certain milestones, generally consisting of: (1) a payment payable within 30 days after the issuance of the first patent in the United States arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (2) a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (3) for certain of the Inventors, a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first new drug application with the FDA for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); and (4) certain royalty payments based on the net receipts received by the Company in connection with the sale or licensing of any product based on the acquired intellectual property (if any), after deducting (among other things) the Company’s development costs associated with such product. If, following five years after the date of the applicable asset purchase agreement, the Company either (a) for certain of the Inventors, has not filed an IND or, for the remaining Inventors, has not initiated a study where data is derived, or (b) has failed to generate royalty payments to the Inventors for any product based on the acquired intellectual property, the Inventors may terminate the applicable asset purchase agreement and request that the Company re-assign the acquired technology to the Inventors. Royalty expenses of $285 and $778 and $159 and $420 were incurred under these agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $285 and $590 are included in accounts payable at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Mayfield Pharmaceuticals MAY-66 License Termination

The Company is required to pay Sintetica up to $18,000 in one-time milestone payments including a $5,000 payment (the “Upfront Payment”) due within 30 days of signing the Sintetica Agreement and the balance of payments due upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. Under the terms of the Sintetica Agreement, Sintetica will be responsible for regulatory filings for AMP-100 in the U.S. The Upfront Payment was paid and recorded as R&D expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

Subject to certain limitations, the term of the Sintetica Agreement is ten years, and allows for a ten-year extension if certain sales thresholds are met.

 

Wakamoto Agreement

 

In August 2021, the Company entered into a License Agreement and a Basic Sale and Purchase Agreement (together, the “Wakamoto Agreements”) with Wakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Wakamoto”), pursuant to which Wakamoto granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to its ophthalmic drug candidate (“MAQ-100”) in the U.S. and Canada.

 

Pursuant to the Wakamoto Agreements, Wakamoto will supply MAQ-100 to the Company, and the Company will pay Wakamoto a per unit transfer price to supply MAQ-100. In addition, the Company is required to pay Wakamoto various one-time milestone payments totaling up to $2,000 upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and up to $6,200 upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Company will be responsible for regulatory filings and fees for MAQ-100 in the U.S. and Canada. Through September 30, 2021, no amounts have been paid or accrued under the Wakamoto agreement.

 

Subject to certain limitations, the term of the Agreements is for five years from the date of the FDA’s market approval of MAQ-100 and allows for a five-year extension if certain unit sales thresholds are met.

 

NOTE 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

 

Management evaluates performance of the Company based on operating segments. Segment performance for its two operating segments is based on segment contribution. The Company’s reportable segments consist of (i) its commercial stage pharmaceutical business known as ImprimisRx; and (ii) its start-up operations associated with its pharmaceutical drug development business (“Pharmaceutical Drug Development”). Segment contribution for the segments represents net revenues less cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing expenses, and select general and administrative expenses. The Company does not evaluate the following items at the segment level:

 

  Selling, general and administrative expenses that result from shared infrastructure, including certain expenses associated with legal matters, public company costs (e.g. investor relations), board of directors and principal executive officers and other like shared expenses.
     
  Operating expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses that result from the impact of corporate initiatives. Corporate initiatives primarily include integration, restructuring, acquisition and other shared costs.
     
  Other select revenues and operating expenses including R&D expenses, amortization, and asset sales and impairments, net as not all such information has been accounted for at the segment level, or such information has not been used by all segments.
     
  Total assets including capital expenditures.

 

26
 

 

The Company defines segment net revenues as pharmaceutical compounded drug sales, licenses, commissions and other revenue derived from related agreements.

 

Cost of sales within segment contribution includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing equipment and tenant improvements depreciation, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, marketing and promotion costs, distribution costs, professional service costs, insurance, depreciation, facilities costs, transaction costs, and professional services costs which are general in nature and attributable to the segment.

 

Segment net revenues, segment operating expenses and segment contribution information consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Overview

 

We are an ophthalmic-focused healthcare company. Our business specializes in the development, production and sale of innovative medications that offer unique competitive advantages and serve unmet needs in the marketplace through our subsidiaries and deconsolidated companies. We own and operate one of the nation’s leading ophthalmology pharmaceutical businesses, ImprimisRx. In addition to wholly owning ImprimisRx, we also have non-controlling equity positions in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), both companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. In 2020, Harrow created Visionology, Inc. (“Visionology”) and recently launched an online eye health platform business in certain regions. We also own royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.

 

ImprimisRx

 

ImprimisRx is our ophthalmology focused prescription pharmaceutical business. We offer to over 10,000 physician customers and their patients critical medicines to meet their needs that are unmet by commercially available drugs. We make our formulations available at prices that are, in most cases, lower than non-customized commercial drugs. Our current ophthalmology formulary includes over twenty compounded formulations, many of which are patented or patent-pending, and are customizable for the specific needs of a patient. Some of our compounded medications are various combinations of drugs formulated into one bottle and numerous preservative free formulations. Depending on the formulation, the regulations of a specific state and ultimately the needs of the patient, ImprimisRx products may be dispensed as patient-specific medications from our 503A pharmacy, or for in-office use, made according to current good manufacturing practices (or “cGMPs”) or other FDA-guidance documents, in our FDA-registered New Jersey outsourcing facility (“NJOF”).

 

29
 

 

On August 1, 2020, ImprimisRx entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “Dexycu Agreement”) with Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eyepoint”), pursuant to which Eyepoint granted ImprimisRx the non-exclusive right to co-promote DEXYCU® (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery in the United States. Pursuant to the Dexycu Agreement, Eyepoint pays ImprimisRx a fee that is calculated based on the quarterly sales of DEXCYU in excess of predefined volumes to specific customers of ImprimisRx in the U.S.

 

AMP-100

 

Sintetica has granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to AMP-100 in the U.S. and Canada. AMP-100 is a patented, ophthalmic topical anesthetic drug candidate. If FDA-approved, the active ingredient used in AMP-100 will be the first approved use of this active ingredient in the U.S. ophthalmic market.

 

The safety and efficacy of AMP-100 was demonstrated in various clinical trials including a Phase 2/3 randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled, efficacy, safety and tolerability study in healthy volunteers and a non-inferiority Phase 3 study of 342 patients undergoing cataract surgeries comparing AMP-100 to an active comparator. Ultimately, these studies demonstrated:

 

  AMP-100 is safe, and the most common adverse event was mydrasis (dilation of pupil) in about 20% of patients which is an effect most ophthalmologists may consider beneficial;
  AMP-100 has rapid onset, and no inferiority to the active comparator (Phase 3);
  Anesthesia success of patients receiving AMP-100 was 95% vs. 20% with placebo (Phase 2/3 study);
  Single administration of AMP-100 provides roughly 20 minutes of sensory loss; and
  AMP-100 has predictable offset (end of anesthesia) within a narrow bell curve (i.e. no wide variance).

 

We expect a new drug application (“NDA”) for AMP-100 to be submitted by Sintetica to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2021 and, if approved, we plan to commercially launch AMP-100 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

If approved, we expect our initial commercial focus of AMP-100 to be on ophthalmic procedures that traditionally require the eye to be anesthetized. According to a 2019 MarketScope report, there are over four million cataract surgeries performed in the U.S. annually. In addition to cataract procedures, according to Ophthalmologica, there were about 5.9 million intravitreal injections performed in the U.S. in 2018. Most of these intravitreal injections, which are typically treatments for a variety of conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and uveitis, often require the ocular surface to be anesthetized during the procedure.

 

AMP-100 is protected by one issued patent and another patent-pending. The issued patent includes composition of matter and method of use claims and could provide protection for AMP-100 into 2037.

 

In addition to AMP-100, we expect to acquire and/or develop additional FDA-approved/approvable ophthalmic products and product candidates that will allow us to leverage the commercial infrastructure of ImprimisRx to promote, sell, and ultimately bring these products to market.

 

MAQ-100

 

In August 2021, we obtained the exclusive license and marketing rights to MAQ-100 in the U.S. and Canada from Wakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Wakamoto”). MAQ-100 is a preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide ophthalmic injection drug candidate. MAQ-100 is marketed and sold by Wakamoto in Japan as MaQaid®. Following Japan’s Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare (“MHLW”) approval, MaQaid was launched in Japan in 2010, indicated as an intravitreal injection for visualization for vitrectomy. Since its initial MHLW approval, the indication for MaQaid was expanded to include (a) treatments for alleviation of diabetic macular edema, (b) macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion (or RVO), and (c) non-infectious uveitis. We intend to leverage the clinical data used for Japanese market approval of MaQaid to support a clinical program and U.S. market NDA submission of MAQ-100 for visualization during vitrectomy. We intend to request a meeting with FDA during the first half of 2022 to discuss our planned clinical program for MAQ-100.

 

We expect to acquire and/or develop additional FDA-approved/approvable ophthalmic products and product candidates that will allow us to leverage the commercial infrastructure of ImprimisRx to promote, sell, and ultimately bring these products to market.

 

30
 

 

Visionology

 

Visionology, a direct-to-consumer online eye health platform, leverages our experience in the ophthalmic pharmaceutical business as well as our relationships with eyecare professionals across the United States. We recently launched a proof-of-concept model for Visionology within a certain region of the U.S., and if successful, will expand the launch on a nationwide basis in 2022.

 

Pharmaceutical Compounding Businesses

 

Pharmaceutical Compounding

 

Pharmaceutical compounding is the science of combining different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), all of which are approved by the FDA (either as a finished form product or as a bulk drug ingredient) and excipients, to create specialized pharmaceutical preparations. Physicians and healthcare institutions use compounded drugs when commercially available drugs do not optimally treat a patient’s needs. In many cases, compounded drugs, such as ours, have wide market utility and may be clinically appropriate for large patient populations. Examples of compounded formulations include medications with alternative dosage strengths or unique dosage forms, such as topical creams or gels, suspensions, or solutions with more tolerable drug delivery vehicles.

 

Almost all of our sales revenue is derived from making, selling and dispensing our compounded prescription drug formulations as cash pay transactions between us and our end-user customer. As such, the majority of our commercial transactions do not involve distributors, wholesalers, insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers or other middle parties. By not being reliant on insurance company formulary inclusion and pharmacy benefit manager payment clawbacks, we are able to simplify the prescription transaction process. We believe the outcome of our business model is a simple transaction, involving a patient-in-need, a physician’s diagnosis, a fair price and great service for a quality pharmaceutical product. We sell our products through a network of employees and independent contractors and we dispense our formulations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and in selected markets outside the United States.

 

Our Compounding Facilities

 

Pharmaceutical compounding businesses are governed by Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). Section 503A of the FDCA provides that a pharmacy is only permitted to compound a drug for an individually identified patient based on a prescription for a patient, and is only permitted to distribute the drug interstate if the pharmacy is licensed to do so in the states where it is compounded and where the medication is received.

 

Section 503B of the FDCA provides that a pharmacy engaged in preparing sterile compounded drug formulations may voluntarily elect to register as an “outsourcing facility.” Outsourcing facilities are permitted to compound large quantities of drugs without a prescription and distribute them out of state with certain limitations such as the formulation appearing on the FDA’s drug shortage list or the bulk drug substances contained in the formulations appearing on the FDA’s “clinical need” list. Entities voluntarily registering with FDA as outsourcing facilities are subject to additional requirements that do not apply to compounding pharmacies (operating under Section 503A of the FDCA), including adhering to standards such as current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) or other FDA guidance documents and being subject to regular FDA inspection.

 

We operate two compounding facilities located in Ledgewood, New Jersey. Our New Jersey operations are comprised of two separate entities and facilities, one of which is registered with the FDA as an outsourcing facility (“NJOF”) under Section 503B of the FDCA. The other New Jersey facility (“RxNJ”) is a licensed pharmacy operating under Section 503A of the FDCA. All products that we sell, produce and dispense are made in the United States.

 

We believe that, with our current compounding pharmacy facilities and licenses and FDA registration of NJOF, we have the infrastructure to scale our business appropriately under the current regulatory landscape and meet the potential growth in demand we are targeting. We plan to invest in one or both of our facilities to further their capacity and efficiencies. Also, we may seek to access greater pharmacy and production related redundancy and markets through acquisitions, partnerships or other strategic transactions.

 

Pharmaceutical Development - Carve-Out Businesses

 

We have ownership interests in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”), Surface and Melt and hold royalty interests in some of the drug candidates of Surface and Melt. These companies are pursuing market approval for their drug candidates under the FDCA, including in some instances under the abbreviated pathway described in Section 505(b)(2) which permits the submission of a new drug application (“NDA”) where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference.

 

31
 

 

In 2018 and 2019, we formed and created subsidiaries named Radley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Radley”), Mayfield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mayfield”), and Stowe Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Stowe”). In 2020, we halted nearly all operating activities related to these subsidiaries to invest resources in other areas, and we may not restart any or all activities related to these businesses. In addition, we terminated license and acquisition agreements for Mayfield’s MAY-66 and MAY-44 drug candidates, and Stowe’s STE-006 drug candidate.

 

Noncontrolling Equity Interests (De-Consolidated Businesses)

 

Surface Ophthalmics, Inc.

 

Surface is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on development and commercialization of innovative therapeutics for ocular surface diseases.

 

In January 2021, Surface announced positive top-line results from a phase 2 trial of its drug candidate SURF-201, a 0.2% betamethasone, preservative-free ophthalmic solution in the Klarity delivery vehicle for the treatment of post cataract surgery pain and inflammation. According to the Surface results, SURF-201 was dosed twice daily, met its primary endpoints of absence of inflammation at both Day 8 and Day 15 and was found to be safe and well-tolerated by the patient group. In addition, a secondary endpoint showed almost 90% of patients given SURF-201 were pain free at Day 15. SURF-201 marks the first ophthalmic therapeutic in the United States to utilize betamethasone and the first preservative-free unit dose therapy for the treatment of post-operative pain and inflammation.

 

Also in January 2021, Surface announced the first patient dosed in a head-to-head phase 2 trial for its drug candidate SURF-100 (mycophenolate sodium and betamethasone in Klarity vehicle) for the treatment of chronic dry eye disease. The head-to-head study will compare SURF-100 against leading on-market competitors lifitegrast ophthalmic solution 5% (marketed as Xiidra®) and cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion 0.05% (marketed as Restasis®).

 

In February 2021, Surface announced the first patient dosed in a phase 2 trial for its drug candidate SURF-200 (betamethasone in Klarity vehicle) for the treatment of episodic dry eye flares. The dose ranging study for SURF-200 will be administered in two different low concentration formulations of betamethasone in the Klarity vehicle. The trial will enroll 120 to 140 patients with a primary endpoint of Symptom Improvement of one unit based on the University of North Carolina Dry Eye Management Scale by the eighth day.

 

In 2018, Surface closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we lost our controlling interest and deconsolidated Surface from our consolidated financial statements. During May, June and July of 2021, Surface closed an offering of its preferred stock at a purchase price of $4.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds to Surface of approximately $25,000,000 (the “Surface Series B Offering”). We own 3,500,000 shares of Surface common stock which was approximately 20% of the equity and voting interests following the final closing of the Surface Series B Offering. Harrow owns mid-single digit royalty rights on net sales of SURF-100, SURF-200 and SURF-201.

 

Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

Melt is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary non-intravenous, sedation and anesthesia therapeutics for human medical procedures in hospital, outpatient, and in-office settings. Melt intends to seek regulatory approval for its proprietary technologies, where possible. In December 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Melt (the “Melt Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Harrow assigned to Melt the underlying intellectual property for Melt’s current pipeline, including its lead drug candidate MELT-300. The core intellectual property Melt owns is a patented series of combination non-opioid sedation drug formulations that we estimate to have multitudinous applications.

 

MELT-300 is a novel, sublingually delivered, non-IV, opioid-free drug candidate being developed for procedural sedation. Melt filed an investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the FDA in June 2020 and began its clinical program for MELT-300. In February 2021, Melt announced data from, and the successful completion of, its phase 1 study. Melt recently began enrolling patients in its phase 2 study for MELT-300.

 

In January 2019, Melt closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we lost our controlling interest and deconsolidated Melt from our consolidated financial statements. We own 3,500,000 shares of Melt common stock, which was approximately 46% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of as of September 30, 2021. In September 2021, we provided Melt with a senior secured loan in the amount of $13,500,000, which is intended to fund the Phase 2 program of MELT-300. In connection with the loan we provided Melt, we also were provided the right, but not the obligation, to match any offer received by Melt associated with the commercial rights to any of its drug candidates for a period of five years. Melt is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments to the Company on net sales of MELT-300, while any patent rights remain outstanding, subject to other conditions. Melt can require the Company to cease compounding like products at the time of FDA approval of MELT-300. If approved, we do not expect a cessation of compounding like products to have a material impact on our operations and financial performance.

Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

Eton is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative drug products. Its pipeline includes several products and drug candidates in various stages of development across a variety of dosage forms. In May 2017, Eton closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock and we gave up our controlling interest in it. In November 2018, Eton completed an initial public offering of its common stock. As of the date of this Quarterly Report and following our April 2021 sale, we own 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock. We owned less than 10% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of September 30, 2021.

 

Factors Affecting Our Performance

 

We believe the primary factors affecting our performance are our ability to increase revenues of our proprietary compounded formulations and certain non-proprietary products, grow and gain operating efficiencies in our pharmacy operations, potential regulatory-related restrictions, optimize pricing and obtain reimbursement options for our proprietary compounded formulations, and continue to pursue development and commercialization opportunities for certain of our ophthalmology and other assets that we have not yet made commercially available as compounded formulations. We believe we have built a tangible and intangible infrastructure that will allow us to scale revenues efficiently in the near and long-term. All of these activities will require significant costs and other resources, which we may not have or be able to obtain from operations or other sources. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Reimbursement Options

 

Our proprietary ophthalmic compounded formulations are currently primarily available on a cash-pay basis. However, we work with third-party insurers, pharmacy benefit managers and buying groups to offer patient-specific customizable compounded formulations at accessible prices. We may devote time and other resources to seek reimbursement and patient pay opportunities for these and other compounded formulations and we have hired pharmacy billers to process certain existing reimbursement opportunities for certain formulations. However, we may be unsuccessful in achieving these goals, as many third-party payors have imposed significant restrictions on reimbursement for compounded formulations in recent years. Moreover, third-party payors, including Medicare, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. Further, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Law”), may have a considerable impact on the existing U.S. system for the delivery and financing of health care and could conceivable have a material effect on our business. As a result, reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors may never be available for any of our products or, if available, may not be sufficient to allow us to sell the products on a competitive basis and at desirable price points. We are communicating with government and third-party payors in order to make our formulations available to more patients and at optimized pricing levels. However, if government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for our formulations, the market acceptance and opportunity for our formulations may be limited.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The disease caused by it, COVID-19, was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. On March 18, 2020, CMS released guidance for U.S. healthcare providers to limit all elective medical procedures in order to conserve personal protective equipment and limit exposure to COVID-19 during the pendency of the pandemic. In addition to limiting elective medical procedures, many hospitals and other healthcare providers have strictly limited access to their facilities during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and healthcare delivery, led to social distancing recommendation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. In May 2020 and the following months, U.S. states and geographies began easing restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic including those restrictions related to elective procedures. We have since seen sales of our products return to near historical norms and trends as restrictions associated with elective procedures and the COVID-19 pandemic have continued to ease.

 

However, given the unprecedented and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic virus, including any mutations/variants, we may not be able to reasonably estimate the impacts it may have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future, especially if there are new restrictions in elective procedures in the future which would have an adverse impact, which may be material, on our future revenues, profitability and cash flows.

Recent Developments

 

The following describes certain developments in 2021 to date that are important to understand our financial condition and results of operations. See the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about each of these developments.

 

PPP Loan

 

In April 2020, we entered into an unsecured promissory note and related Business Loan Agreement with Renasant Bank, as lender, for a loan (the “PPP Loan”) in the principal amount of $1,967,000 and received cash proceeds of the same amount, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020. The PPP is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On March 30, 2021, the Company received a notice of forgiveness of the full balance of the PPP Loan, including all accrued interest, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the CARES Act and accordingly recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $1,967,000.

 

Eton Stock Sale

 

In April 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 1,518,000 shares of our Eton common stock at a public offering price of $7.00 per share (the “Eton Stock Sale”). The gross proceeds to us from the Eton Stock Sale were $10,626,000 before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. Following such sale, we own 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock, which represented less than 10% of the equity interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of September 30, 2021.

 

As part of the Eton Stock Sale, we also agreed, for a period of 180 days, not to conduct any further sales of shares of its common stock of Eton or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any common stock of Eton (or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the common stock of Eton).

 

8.625% Senior Notes Due 2026

 

During April, May and June 2021, we closed offerings totaling $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.625% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on July 31, 2021. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2026.

 

Prior to February 1, 2026, we may, at our option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. We may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option on or after February 1, 2026 and prior to maturity, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the redeemed Notes.

 

Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock - Redeemed

 

On May 5, 2021, we sold 440,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) for net proceeds of $10,670,000. On June 17, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The redemption price for the 440,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding was equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, which in aggregate totaled $11,127,000.

Sintetica Agreement

 

In July 2021, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Sintetica Agreement”) with Sintetica S.A. (“Sintetica”), pursuant to which Sintetica granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to its patented ophthalmic drug candidate (“AMP-100”) in the U.S. and Canada.

 

Pursuant to the Sintetica Agreement, the Company will pay Sintetica a per unit transfer price to supply AMP-100, along with a per unit royalty for units sold. The Company is required to pay Sintetica up to $18,000,000 in one-time milestone payments including a $5,000,000 payment due within 30 days of signing the Sintetica Agreement and the balance of payments due upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. Under the terms of the Sintetica Agreement, Sintetica will be responsible for regulatory filings for AMP-100 in the U.S.

 

Subject to certain limitations, the term of the Sintetica Agreement is ten years, and allows for a ten-year extension if certain sales thresholds are met.

 

Wakamoto Agreement

 

In August, 2021, we entered into a License Agreement and a Basic Sale and Purchase Agreement (together, the “Wakamoto Agreements”) with Wakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Wakamoto”), pursuant to which Wakamoto granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to its ophthalmic drug candidate (“MAQ-100”) in the U.S. and Canada.

 

Pursuant to the Wakamoto Agreements, Wakamoto will supply MAQ-100 to us, and we will pay Wakamoto a per unit transfer price to supply MAQ-100. In addition, we are required to pay Wakamoto various one-time milestone payments totaling up to $2,000,000 upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and up to $6,200,000 upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones. Under the terms of the Wakamoto Agreements, we are responsible for regulatory filings and fees for MAQ-100 in the U.S. and Canada

 

Subject to certain limitations, the term of the Wakamoto Agreements is for five years from the date of the FDA’s market approval of MAQ-100 and allows for a five-year extension if certain unit sales thresholds are met.

 

Melt Loan

 

In September 2021, we entered into a loan and security agreement in the principal amount of $13,500,000 (the “Melt Loan Agreement”), as lender, with Melt, as borrower. Amounts borrowed under the Melt Loan Agreement bear interest at twelve and one-half percent (12.50%) per annum, which can be paid in kind interest at the option of Melt until the maturity date. The Melt Loan Agreement permits Melt to pay interest only on the principal amount loaned thereunder through the term and all amounts owed will be due and payable on September 1, 2022. Melt may elect to prepay all, but not less than all, of the amounts owed prior to the maturity date at any time without penalty.

 

Melt has granted us a security interest in substantially all of its personal property, rights and assets, including intellectual property rights, to secure the payment of all amounts owed under the Melt Loan Agreement. The Melt Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by Melt limiting additional indebtedness, liens, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions, investments, distributions, subordinated debt, and transactions with affiliates. The Melt Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, and upon the occurrence of an event of default (subject to cure periods for certain events of default), all amounts owed by Melt thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable by the us, and the interest rate on the loan may be increased by three percent (3%) per annum.

 

In connection with the Melt Loan Agreement, we entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement with Melt providing us with the right, but not the obligation, to match any offer received by Melt associated with the commercial rights to any of Melt’s drug candidates for a period of five years following the effective date of the Melt Loan Agreement.

The increase in revenues between periods was related to an increase in sales volumes of our ophthalmology products and commissions attributable to sales of Dexycu®.

 

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, manufacturing equipment and tenant improvements depreciation, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.

 

The following presents our cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Gross margin   73.6%   74.7%   (0.8)%   74.9%   69.3%   5.6%

 

The decrease in gross margin between the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is primarily attributable to a second production shift that was added in 2021 along with increased personnel within our quality department, in preparation for increased production expected during the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.

 

The increase in gross margin between the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is largely attributable to increased unit volumes sold, efficiencies in our production process, including increased batch sizes, and improved utilization of capacities as a result of increased output.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, including wages and stock-based compensation, corporate facility expenses, and investor relations, consulting, insurance, filing, legal and accounting fees and expenses as well as costs associated with our marketing activities and sales of our proprietary compounded formulations and other non-proprietary pharmacy products and formulations.

36
 

 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses between periods was primarily attributable to an increase in commissions and other expenses related to increased sales, and as well as an increase in our sales and marketing expenses related to in-person conferences and new employee costs to support sales growth. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded $1,500,000 in expenses related to a litigation settlement.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development (“R&D”) expenses primarily include personnel costs, including wages and stock-based compensation, expenses related to the development of intellectual property, investigator-initiated research and evaluations, formulation development, license fees, acquired in-process R&D and other costs related to the clinical development of our assets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, research and development expenses increased between periods primarily as a result of the upfront payment of $5,000,000 to Sintetica upon execution of the license and supply agreement for AMP-100 along with increased costs associated with the clinical program for MAQ-100.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Interest expense, net was $1,685,000 and $3,512,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $498,000 and $1,563,000 for the same periods last year, respectively. The increase during the period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to an increase in the outstanding principal amount of our debt obligations.

 

Investment Loss from Melt

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a loss of $706,000 and $1,653,000, respectively, related to our share of losses in Melt.

We recorded a loss of $2,220,000 and $8,639,000 related to the change in fair market value of Eton’s common stock and the sale of a portion of our Eton stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. We recorded a gain of $8,575,000 and $2,450,000 related to the change in fair market value of Eton’s common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

 

Loss From Early Extinguishment of Loan

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a loss from the early extinguishment of loan of $756,000 related to the early payoff of the SWK Loan.

Financial Information About Segments and Geographic Areas

 

Management evaluates performance of the Company based on operating segments. Segment performance for our two operating segments are based on segment contribution. Our reportable segments consist of (i) our commercial stage pharmaceutical business ImprimisRx; and (ii) the start-up operations associated with our pharmaceutical drug development business (Pharmaceutical Drug Development). Segment contribution for the segments represents net revenues less cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing expenses, and select general and administrative expenses. We do not evaluate the following items at the segment level:

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses that result from shared infrastructure, including certain expenses associated with litigation and other legal matters, public company costs (e.g. investor relations), board of directors and principal executive officers, and other like shared expenses.
   
Operating expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses that result from the impact of corporate initiatives. Corporate initiatives primarily include integration, restructuring, acquisition and other shared costs.
   
Other select revenues and operating expenses including R&D expenses, amortization, and asset sales and impairments, net as not all such information has been accounted for at the segment level, or such information has not been used by all segments.
   
Total assets including capital expenditures.

 

The Company defines segment net revenues as pharmaceutical compounded drug sales, licenses and other revenue derived from related agreements.

 

Cost of sales within segment contribution includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing equipment and tenant improvements depreciation, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, marketing and promotion costs, distribution costs, professional service costs, insurance, depreciation, facilities costs, transaction costs, and professional services costs which are general in nature and attributable to the segment.

 

See Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information about our reportable segments.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

Our cash on hand (including restricted cash) at September 30, 2021 was $57,856,000, compared to $4,301,000 at December 31, 2020.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we believe that cash and cash equivalents of $57,656,000 and restricted cash of $200,000, totaling approximately $57,856,000 at September 30, 2021, will be sufficient to sustain our planned level of operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. In addition, we may consider the sale of certain assets including, but not limited to, part of, or all of, our ownership interest in Eton, Surface, Melt, and/or any of our consolidated subsidiaries. However, we may pursue acquisitions of pharmacies, revenue generating products, drug candidates or other strategic transactions that involve large expenditures or we may experience growth more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which could result in the depletion of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing to support our operations.

 

38
 

 

We expect to use our current cash position and funds generated from our operations and any financing to pursue our business plan, which includes developing and commercializing drug candidates, compounded formulations and technologies, integrating and developing our operations, pursuing potential future strategic transactions as opportunities arise, including potential acquisitions of additional pharmacy, outsourcing facilities, drug company and manufacturers, drug products, drug candidates, and/or assets or technologies, and otherwise fund our operations. We may also use our resources to conduct clinical trials or other studies in support of our formulations or any drug candidate for which we pursue FDA approval, to pursue additional development programs or to explore other development opportunities.

 

Net Cash Flow

 

The following provides detailed information about our net cash flows:

 

  

For the

Nine Months Ended

September 30,

 
   2021   2020 
Net cash provided by (used in):          
Operating activities  $6,572,000   $(534,000)
Investing activities   (4,489,000)   (891,000)
Financing activities   51,472,000    2,203,000 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents   53,555,000    778,000 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of the period   4,301,000    4,949,000 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of the period  $57,856,000   $5,727,000 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $6,572,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $534,000 during the same period in the prior year. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the periods was mainly attributed to the increase in revenues.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $4,489,000 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $891,000, during the same period in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in 2021 was primarily associated with cash payments made in connection with the Melt note receivable offset by cash received through the sale of a portion of our Eton Common Stock. Cash used in investing activities during the 2020 period was primarily associated with equipment and software purchases and upgrades along with investments in our intellectual property portfolio.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $51,472,000 and $2,203,000, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of Notes, net of the payment of all outstanding obligations to the Company’s previous senior lender, SWK Funding, LLC and its partners.

 

Sources of Capital

 

Our principal sources of cash consist of cash provided by operating activities from our ImprimisRx business, and recently, proceeds from the sale of the Notes and sale of Eton Common Stock. We may also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries, along with the some or all of the remaining portion of our Eton common stock.

 

39
 

 

The changing trends and overall economic outlook in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the historic interim stay-at-home orders and bans on elective surgeries, created uncertainty surrounding our operating outlook and may impact our future operating results if there is a rise in COVID-19 related cases in the U.S. In addition, we may acquire new products, product candidates and/or businesses and, as a result, we may need significant additional capital to support our business plan and fund our proposed business operations. We may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants that are currently outstanding. We may also seek additional financing from a variety of sources, including other equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements, sales of assets or any other financing transaction. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration or licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or proprietary technologies or formulations, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as the financial and operating covenants. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.

 

We may be unable to obtain financing when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions, conditions in the pharmaceuticals and pharmacy industries, or our operating history, including our past bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, the fact that we have a limited history of profitability could further impact the availability or cost to us of future financings. As a result, sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source or, if available, such funds may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital needs when needed, then we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations entirely.

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 or submitted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as they existed on September 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to achieve their stated purpose as of September 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

See Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for information on various legal proceedings, which is incorporated into this Item by reference.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. You should consider all of the factors described in this section when evaluating our business as well as the risk factors and the other information in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, including our audited financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock would likely decline and you may lose all or part of your investments. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

 

Risks Related to the Senior Notes

 

We have incurred significant indebtedness, which will require substantial cash to service and which subjects us to certain financial requirements and business restrictions.

 

In April, May and June 2021, we issued $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2026. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future. Our ability to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness depends on our future performance and ability to raise additional capital, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to service our debt, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring our debt or obtaining additional capital through equity sales or incurrence of additional debt on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive to our stockholders. Our ability to engage in any of these activities would depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time, and we may not be able to do so when needed, on desirable terms or at all, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. Additionally, our debt instruments contain or, from time to time, may contain various restrictive covenants, including, among others, our obligation to deliver certain financial and other information, our obligation to comply with certain notice and insurance requirements, and our inability, without prior consent, to dispose of certain of our assets, incur certain additional indebtedness, enter into certain merger, acquisition or change of control transactions, pay certain dividends or distributions on or repurchase any of our capital stock or incur any lien or other encumbrance on our assets, subject to certain permitted exceptions. Any failure by us to comply with any of these covenants, subject to certain cure periods, or to make all payments under the debt instruments when due, would cause us to be in default under the applicable debt instrument. In the event of any such default, lenders may be able to foreclose on our assets that secure the debt or declare all borrowed funds, together with accrued and unpaid interest, immediately due and payable, thereby potentially causing all of our available cash to be used to pay our indebtedness or forcing us into bankruptcy or liquidation if we do not then have sufficient cash available. Any such event or occurrence could severely and negatively impact our operations and prospects.

 

We may need additional capital in order to continue operating our business, and such additional funds may not be available when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

We only recently started generating cash from operations, but we do not currently earn sufficient revenues to support our operations. We may need significant additional capital to execute our business plan and fund our proposed business operations. Additionally, our plans may change or the estimates of our operating expenses and working capital requirements could be inaccurate, we may pursue acquisitions of pharmacies or other strategic transactions that involve large expenditures, or we may experience growth more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which may result in the depletion of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing earlier than we expect to support our operations.

 

41
 

 

We have raised over $85,000,000 in funds through equity and debt financings in April, May and June 2021. We may seek to obtain additional capital through equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements, sales of assets or other financing transactions. If we issue additional equity or debt securities to raise funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may have to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our drug candidates or proprietary technologies, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as options, convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.

 

The Notes are unsecured and therefore are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness that we currently have or that we may incur in the future.

 

The Notes are not secured by any of our assets or any of the assets of our subsidiaries. As a result, the Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries have currently outstanding or may incur in the future (or any indebtedness that is initially unsecured to which we subsequently grant security) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing the Notes does not prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional secured (or unsecured) indebtedness in the future. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding, the holders of any of our existing or future secured indebtedness and the secured indebtedness of our subsidiaries may assert rights against the assets pledged to secure that indebtedness and may consequently receive payment from these assets before they may be used to pay other creditors, including the holders of the Notes.

 

The indenture under which the Notes were issued contains limited protection for holders of the Notes.

 

The indenture under which the Notes were issued offers limited protection to holders of the Notes. The terms of the indenture and the Notes do not restrict our or any of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in, or otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances or events that could have an adverse impact on the holders of the Notes. In particular, the terms of the indenture and the Notes do not place any restrictions on our or our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

  issue debt securities or otherwise incur additional indebtedness or other obligations, including (1) any indebtedness or other obligations that would be equal in right of payment to the Notes, (2) any indebtedness or other obligations that would be secured and therefore rank effectively senior in right of payment to the Notes to the extent of the values of the assets securing such debt, (3) indebtedness of ours that is guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries and which therefore is structurally senior to the Notes and (4) securities, indebtedness or obligations issued or incurred by our subsidiaries that would be senior to our equity interests in our subsidiaries and therefore rank structurally senior to the Notes with respect to the assets of our subsidiaries;
   
  pay dividends on, or purchase or redeem or make any payments in respect of, capital stock or other securities subordinated in right of payment to the Notes;
   
  sell assets (other than certain limited restrictions on our ability to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets);
   
  enter into transactions with affiliates;
   
  create liens (including liens on the shares of our subsidiaries) or enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
   
  make investments; or
   
  create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from our subsidiaries.

 

42
 

 

In addition, the indenture does not include any protection against certain events, such as a change of control, leveraged recapitalization, “going private” transaction (which may result in a significant increase of our indebtedness), restructuring or similar transactions. Furthermore, the terms of the indenture and the Notes do not protect holders of the Notes in the event that we experience changes (including significant adverse changes) in our financial condition, results of operations or credit ratings, as they do not require that we or our subsidiaries adhere to any financial tests or ratios or specified levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow, or liquidity. Also, an event of default or acceleration under our other indebtedness would not necessarily result in an event of default under the Notes.

 

Our ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt and take a number of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the Notes may have important consequences for the holders of the Notes, including making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Notes or negatively affecting the trading value of the Notes.

 

Other debt we issue or incur in the future could contain more protections for its holders than the indenture and the Notes, including additional covenants and events of default. The issuance or incurrence of any such debt with incremental protections could affect the market for and trading levels and prices of the Notes.

 

An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the Notes.

 

In general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate decline in value. Consequently, if the market interest rates increase, the market value of the Notes may decline. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates.

 

An active trading market for the Notes may not develop, which could adversely affect the market price of the Notes or limit a holder’s ability to sell them.

 

The Notes are quoted on Nasdaq under the symbol “HROWL.” We cannot provide any assurances that an active trading market will develop for the Notes or that a holder will be able to sell the Notes. If the Notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, our credit ratings, general economic conditions, our financial condition, performance and prospects and other factors. The underwriters of the Notes may make a market in the Notes, but they are not obligated to do so. The underwriters may discontinue any market-making in the Notes at any time at their sole discretion. Accordingly, we cannot assure a holder that a liquid trading market will develop for the Notes, that a holder will be able to sell the Notes at a particular time or that the price received will be favorable. To the extent an active trading market does not develop, the liquidity and trading price for the Notes may be harmed. Accordingly, a holder may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time.

 

We may issue additional notes.

 

Under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, we may from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of the Notes, create and issue additional notes which will be equal in rank to the Notes.

 

The rating for the Notes could at any time be revised downward or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency.

 

We have obtained a rating for the Notes. Ratings only reflect the views of the issuing rating agency or agencies and such ratings could at any time be revised downward or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold the Notes. Ratings do not reflect market prices or suitability of a security for a particular investor and the rating of the Notes may not reflect all risks related to us and our business, or the structure or market value of the Notes. We may elect to issue other securities for which we may seek to obtain a rating in the future. If we issue other securities with ratings lower than market expectations or that are subsequently lowered or withdrawn, the market for or the market value of the Notes could be adversely affected.

 

We could enter into various transactions that could increase the amount of our outstanding debt, or adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating.

 

Subject to certain limited exceptions, the terms of the Notes do not prevent us from entering into a variety of acquisition, divestiture, refinancing, recapitalization or other highly leveraged transactions. As a result, we could enter into any such transaction even though the transaction could increase the total amount of our outstanding indebtedness, adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating or otherwise adversely affect the holders of the Notes.

Item 5. Other Information

 

In January 2018, John Erick and Deborah Ferrell, successors-in-interest and heirs of Jade Erick, (collectively “Erick”) filed a lawsuit in the San Diego County Superior Court against Kim Kelly, ND, MPH asserting claims related to the death of Jade Erick. In April 2018, Erick filed an amendment to the lawsuit, naming us as a co-defendant. In September 2018, co-defendant Dr. Kelly filed a cross-complaint against the Company and various entities affiliated with Spectrum Laboratory Products, Inc., Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing Corp. and Spectrum Pharmacy Products, Inc. (collectively “Spectrum”). The cross-complaint sought indemnity and contribution from us and Spectrum. In November 2021, the lawsuit involving us was resolved. There was no impact to our consolidated financial position and results of operations as a result of the resolution of the case.

BASIC SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This BASIC SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”) made and entered into this 18th day of August, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Date”), by and between WAKAMOTO PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD., a corporation duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Japan, having its principal place of business at 2-2, Nihonbashi Honcho 2-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, 103-8330 Japan (hereinafter referred to as “Wakamoto”) and Harrow Health, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of State of Delaware, having its principal place of business at 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205 USA (hereinafter referred to as “Harrow”),

 

WITNESSETH:

 

 

WHEREAS, Wakamoto is a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of products relating to pharmaceuticals and Harrow is a distributor of finished pharmaceutical products;

 

WHEREAS, Wakamoto and Harrow have been respectively interested in sale by Wakamoto and purchase by Harrow of the certain products and have explored a business opportunity in the United States of America and Canada including their territories and possessions (hereinafter referred to as “Territory”), by using their respective capabilities;

 

WHEREAS, Wakamoto and Harrow are concurrently executing a License Agreement as of the Effective Date regarding the Development and Commercialization of the Product, as those terms are defined in the License Agreement (the “License Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, Wakamoto and Harrow have basically reached common understanding that it would be beneficial for each party to promote the certain sale and purchase;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed upon by the parties hereto as follows:

 

1Product and Transactions

 

In accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Wakamoto shall continuously sell the products separately agreed upon by the parties following the basic conditions as set forth in Annex 1 attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Product”) to Harrow, and Harrow shall purchase the Product from Wakamoto at the prices as set forth in Annex 1. Both parties agree that Wakamoto shall exclusively supply the Product to Harrow in the Territory and Harrow shall purchase all of its requirements of the Product in the Territory exclusively from Wakamoto. Harrow’s purchases of each order of Product shall be made through purchase orders/individual agreements (hereinafter referred to as the “Individual Agreement”).

 

 

 

 

2Order Schedule and Individual Agreement
2.1Harrow shall inform Wakamoto of the scheduled order of the Product for the next one (1) year until the end of [***]. The quantity of the scheduled order shall have no binding force on Wakamoto and Harrow, but the Parties shall make their best effort to observe such schedule, and if there is wide ranging change in the schedule, Harrow shall notify thereof to Wakamoto without delay.
   
2.2The Individual Agreement shall be established through the offer by Harrow submitting a written purchase order, which specifies the name, the quantity, the unit price, the delivery time, the delivery place, the trade conditions, the package for delivery and otherwise of the Product and the acceptance thereof by Wakamoto submitting the written acceptance of the purchase order to Harrow. Harrow shall submit the Individual Agreement to Wakamoto not less than [***] before the desired delivery time, and upon submitting the written acceptance by Wakamoto, each Individual Agreement shall be properly established. In the event the Wakamoto can offer Harrow a shortened lead time for Individual Agreements, Wakamoto shall advise Harrow of such shortened lead time.
   
2.3In the event that Wakamoto is unable to meet the scheduled order from Harrow as set forth in Article 2.1, Wakamoto and Harrow shall meet and confer in good faith discussions to determine how best to satisfy Harrow’s demand, including considering adding or changing the site for manufacturing of Product for Individual Agreements.
   
2.4In the event that Wakamoto is unable to deliver Product on or before the scheduled delivery date in an Individual Agreement, Wakamoto shall notify Harrow of that fact without delay and consult about the countermeasure. The Parties shall work together to implement a satisfactory countermeasure, but if the Parties jointly agree, orders for Individual Agreements can be canceled.

 

3Delivery
   
3.1The delivery time shall mean the date that Wakamoto shall deliver the Product stipulated in the Individual Agreement to the place designated by Harrow and shall be decided between the parties hereto in each Individual Agreement. Wakamoto and Harrow, however, may designate the delivery time in the certain term or the certain deadline in the Individual Agreement.

 

 

 

 

3.2Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in the Individual Agreement, Wakamoto shall deliver the Product upon CIF Newark International Airport (EWR), the United States of America basis in accordance with the delivery time and the delivery place specified in the Individual Agreement. Upon the proper delivery of the Product, the written receipt of the Product shall be submitted to Wakamoto.
   
3.3Wakamoto and Harrow shall discuss and agree upon when they intend to change the delivery time.
   
3.4Customs and Other Duties. All duties and charges, including government levy and customs duties, in the country in which Wakamoto’s manufacturing facility is located, including any duties, taxes, VATs or similar charges arising with respect to the manufacture, sale, exportation and shipment of the Product by Wakamoto to Harrow, shall be borne and paid by Wakamoto.
   
4Acceptance of Product
   
4.1Harrow shall conduct the inspections of the external appearance and the quantity within [***] of Harrow after the delivery of the Product, and the time point of the pass of such inspections of the external appearance and the quantity shall be the acceptance of such Product by Harrow, provided, however, that Harrow’s acceptance of the Product shall not relieve Wakamoto from any liability or obligation with respect to the Product hereunder.
   
4.2If the Product does not pass the inspections of the external appearance and the quantity set forth in Article 4.1 above, Harrow shall notify Wakamoto of such effect without delay, and Wakamoto shall, under instructions by Harrow, conduct the delivery of the replacement of the Product, the decrease of the price amount in accordance with the short of the quantity or otherwise.
   
5Transfer of Ownership

 

The ownership of the Product shall be transferred from Wakamoto to Harrow as soon as the Product has set down inside the ship/airplane, even in the case where the payment of the price amount has not been made yet.

 

6Quality Assurance

 

Wakamoto represents and warrants that the quality of the Product to be sold to Harrow hereunder meets the items and the standards with respect to the quality separately agreed upon by the parties hereto, which items and standards shall be in compliance with cGMPs and all Applicable Laws. The separate quality agreement shall be entered into at least nine (9) months prior to delivery of the launch quantities of the Product.

 

 

 

 

7Quality Inspection
   
7.1Harrow shall conduct the quality inspection after the acceptance of the Product without delay, and notify Wakamoto of the result thereof.
   
7.2The quality inspection set forth in Article 7.1 above shall be conducted in accordance with the ways and standards of the inspection in matters with respect to the quality separately agreed upon by the parties hereto.

 

8Measures upon Rejection

 

As a result of the quality inspection set forth in Article 7 above, if the rejected Product occurs by incongruence, Harrow shall notify Wakamoto of such effect within [***] after receiving the Product from Wakamoto in the case of apparent defects, or [***] from discovery by Harrow in the case of latent defects, and if that fact is also confirmed by Wakamoto, Wakamoto shall refund or subtract the price amount equivalent to that of the rejected Product from Harrow’s amount of payment. However, if Wakamoto and Harrow have inconsistencies to the incongruence of the Product, Wakamoto and Harrow agree to request the independent third party of recognized repute enough to evaluate the incongruence of the Product to take final confirmation with prior agreement between Wakamoto and Harrow, and the parties shall not have any objections to the result. The fees and expenses of the third party making the determination shall be paid by Harrow if the Product is found to be in compliance with the Specifications and cGMPs; otherwise, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Wakamoto.

 

9Warranty/Indemnification/Insurance
9.1Wakamoto represents and warrants that it has the full authority to perform its obligations provided hereunder, including but not limited to rights and licenses to sell the Product.
   
9.2Wakamoto represents and warrants that any item in the Product in every respect is free from any defect and error for a period of [***] from the acceptance thereof in accordance with Article 4.1 above. All Product delivered to Harrow will meet the Specifications, and shall be manufactured and labeled in compliance with cGMPs, all Applicable Laws and the Quality Agreement. All Product, when delivered to Harrow, shall not be adulterated or misbranded and will, at the time of such delivery, be free and clear of all liens, security interests and other encumbrances. Wakamoto’s method of manufacturing the Product shall not violate any third party intellectual property rights. If any defect or error is discovered in any item in the Product, Wakamoto shall, immediately, at Wakamoto’s sole cost and expense, correct such defect and error or replace such Product under instructions by Harrow.
   
 

 

 

9.3Wakamoto Indemnification. Wakamoto shall indemnify and hold Harrow, and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives (collectively “Harrow Indemnitees”) harmless from any damage, expense, loss, or liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or resulting from any third party claims against Harrow, to the extent caused by (i) a violation of any of Wakamoto’s warranties (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Wakamoto, or (iii) Wakamoto’s breach of this Agreement, including failure to perform any act required by or in compliance with Wakamoto’s obligations under this Agreement or another breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that Wakamoto shall not have any obligation to indemnify Harrow to the extent a claim results from the negligence or willful misconduct of Harrow or Harrow’s breach of this Agreement. Harrow shall give Wakamoto notice of any claim for which Harrow may be entitled to indemnification and shall cooperate with Wakamoto in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at its election, and at its own expense, Wakamoto (or its insurers) may assume direction and control of the defense of any such claim.
   
9.4Harrow Indemnification. Harrow shall indemnify and hold Wakamoto, and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives (collectively “Wakamoto Indemnitees”) harmless from any damage, expense, loss, or liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of or resulting from any third party claims made or threatened against Wakamoto to the extent caused by (i) any failure of Harrow to comply with any Applicable Law regarding the possession, distribution, labeling, or sale of the Product, (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Harrow, and (iii) violation of any of Harrow’s warranties, provided, however, that Harrow shall not have any obligation to indemnify Wakamoto to the extent a claim is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Wakamoto or Wakamoto’s breach of this Agreement. Wakamoto shall give Harrow notice of any claim for which Wakamoto may be entitled to indemnification and shall cooperate with Harrow in the defense of such claims.
   
9.5Insurance. Each Party shall maintain adequate insurance to protect itself from and against any claims or liabilities that may arise directly or indirectly as a result of its performance under this Agreement. A Party shall notify the other Party at least [***] prior to any cancellation of an insurance policy subject to this Section 9.5.
   
9.6The provisions under this Article 9 shall also apply for the License Agreement.

 

 

10Payment of Price

After receiving the air waybill for the amount of Product shipped (AWB), Harrow shall pay the total amount for such shipped Product to Wakamoto by telegraphic/wire transfer to Wakamoto’s bank account within [***] from AWB date, provided, however, that the parties may agree upon different payment conditions thereafter with mutual written agreement.

 

 

 

 

11Confidentiality
   
11.1No party hereto may disclose the fact that Wakamoto and Harrow have executed and delivered this Agreement and any contents hereof to any third party without prior written consent of the other party, unless the fact or the content in question meets any one of (a) through (f) set forth in Article 11.3 below.

Wakamoto shall consider Harrow’s comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith. If Wakamoto determines in its discretion to abandon or not maintain any Wakamoto Patent that is being prosecuted or maintained by Wakamoto in the Territory, then Wakamoto shall provide Harrow with written notice of such determination within a period of time reasonably necessary to allow Harrow to determine, in its discretion, its interest in such Wakamoto Patent (which notice by Wakamoto shall be given [***] prior to the final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Wakamoto Patent with the applicable patent authority). If Harrow provides written notice expressing its interest in obtaining ownership of such Wakamoto Patent, (i) Wakamoto shall transfer to Harrow the control of such Wakamoto Patent in the Territory through the mutual discussion between Harrow and Wakamoto to determine the transfer (e.g., its scope, its value, etc.), (ii) Harrow will thereupon have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the prosecution and maintenance thereof at Harrow’s sole cost and expense (each, a “Harrow Assumed Patent”), through patent counsel or agents of its choice; and (b) Wakamoto shall promptly deliver to Harrow copies of all necessary files related to any Harrow Assumed Patents with respect to which responsibility has been transferred and shall take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for Harrow to assume such activities, at Harrow’s request.

Harrow shall provide Wakamoto with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such efforts regarding such Joint Patent, including by providing Wakamoto with a copy of material communications from any patent authority in such country(ies) in the Territory regarding such Joint Patent, and by providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Harrow shall consider Wakamoto’s comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith. If Harrow determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any Joint Patent in any country(ies) of the Territory, then Harrow shall provide Wakamoto with written notice of such determination within a period of time reasonably necessary to allow Wakamoto to determine its interest in such Joint Patent (which notice from Harrow shall be given [***] prior to any final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Joint Patent with the applicable patent authority). In the event Wakamoto provides written notice expressing its interest in obtaining such Joint Patent(s), (a) Harrow shall assign and transfer to Wakamoto the ownership of, and interest in, such Joint Patent in the applicable jurisdiction in the Territory on behalf of Wakamoto through the mutual discussion between Harrow and Wakamoto to determine the transfer (e.g., its scope, its value, etc.); (b) Wakamoto will thereupon have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the prosecution and maintenance thereof at Wakamoto’s sole cost and expense (each, a “Wakamoto Joint Assumed Patent”), through patent counsel or agents of its choice; and (c) Harrow shall promptly deliver to Wakamoto copies of all necessary files related to any Wakamoto Joint Assumed Patents with respect to which responsibility has been transferred and shall take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for Wakamoto to assume such activities, at Wakamoto’s request.

(ii)               All communications between the Parties relating to the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of Wakamoto Patents and Joint Patents, including copies of any draft or final documents or any communications received from or sent to patent offices or patenting authorities with respect to such Patents, shall be considered Confidential Information and subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 10.

 

(iii)             Assignments in Wakamoto Patents and Joint Patents shall be effected as follows: (1) employees or agents of Wakamoto that are named as inventors on Wakamoto Patents shall assign their interest in such Patents to Wakamoto; and (2) employees or agents of Harrow or Wakamoto that are named as inventors on Joint Patents shall assign their interest in such Patents to their respective employer.

8.4Patent Term Extensions in the Territory.

 

(a)                Harrow shall have the right to decide for the Parties on which, if any, of the Patents within Wakamoto Patents and Joint Patents in the Territory for which the Parties should seek Patent Term Extensions; provided, that, Harrow shall reasonably consider in good faith Wakamoto’s position in connection therewith. Subject to the foregoing, Harrow shall be responsible for applying for the Patent Term Extension, unless, with respect to Wakamoto Patents, the applicable patent authority requires Wakamoto to file such application and if Harrow wishes Wakamoto to file such application, Harrow shall be responsible for paying all governmental fees and Wakamoto’s documented external costs for such Wakamoto filed Patent Term Extensions. Wakamoto shall cooperate fully with Harrow in making such filings or actions, for example and without limitation, making available all required regulatory data and information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such Patent Term Extension. All expenses incurred in connection with activities of each Party with respect to the Patent(s) for which Patent Term Extensions are filed pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be entirely borne by Harrow.

 

(b)               Harrow shall have the sole right and authority, at its own expense, to seek Patent Term Extensions with respect to the Harrow Patents.

 

8.5              Patent Listing; Compendia Listing. Harrow shall have the right to (i) file appropriate information with the FDA in the U.S. listing any Wakamoto Patents, Harrow Patents or Joint Patents in the FDA’s Orange Book; and (ii) with respect to other countries in the Territory, file appropriate information with the applicable Regulatory Authority listing any Wakamoto Patents, Harrow Patents or Joint Patents in the Patent listing source in such country in the Territory, if any. Upon request of Harrow, and to the extent required by any Applicable Laws, Wakamoto shall fully cooperate with Harrow to effectuate the above listing requirements.

 

8.6Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

 

(a)                Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any existing, alleged or threatened infringement of Wakamoto Patents or Joint Patents in the Field in the Territory of which it becomes aware, and shall provide all Information in such Party’s possession or Control demonstrating such infringement.

(b)Infringement of Wakamoto Patents or Joint Patents.

 

(i)                 Harrow shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party engaged in any existing, alleged or threatened infringement of Wakamoto Patents or Joint Patents, subject to Section 8.6(b)(ii) through 8.6(b)(v), below.

 

20

 

 

(ii)               Harrow shall notify Wakamoto of its election to take any action in accordance with Section 8.6(b)(i) within the earlier of: (1) [***] after the first notice under 8.6(a); or (2) [***] before any time limit set forth in an Applicable Law or regulation. In the event Harrow does not so elect, Harrow shall so notify Wakamoto in writing, and Wakamoto shall have the right to commence a suit or take action to enforce the applicable Patent against such Third Party perpetrating such infringement in the Territory at its own expense. If one Party elects to bring suit or take action against the infringement, then the other Party shall have the right, prior to commencement of the trial, suit or action, to join any such suit or action.

 

(iii)             Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 8.6(b) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts and shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any important aspects of such enforcement including determination of material litigation strategy, filing of dispositive papers to the competent court.

 

(iv)             The enforcing Party shall have the sole right to settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section 8.6(b) involving Wakamoto Patents or Joint Patents without the prior written consent of the other Party unless such settlement will (a) impose any liability or obligation on such other Party, (b) include the grant of any license, covenant or other rights to any Third Party that would conflict with or reduce the scope of the subject matter included under the rights and licenses granted to such other Party under this Agreement, or (c) otherwise materially affect the licenses or other rights granted to such other Party hereunder adversely in any respect.

 

(v)               The Party not bringing an action with respect to infringement in the Territory under this Section 8.6(b) shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. If the non- enforcing Party requests that the Parties be jointly represented by the same outside counsel, the enforcing Party shall have the right to consent to such joint representation of the Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For clarity, the enforcing Party can withhold its consent to such joint representation where it has a good faith basis to believe there is a conflict between the Parties.

 

(c)                Infringement of Harrow Patents. For any and all infringement of any Harrow Patent, Harrow shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Harrow’s expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of the Harrow Patent. Wakamoto shall provide Harrow reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at Harrow’s reasonable request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. Harrow shall retain one hundred percent (100%) of any recovery in connection with such suit or other action (after reimbursing Wakamoto for any of its expenses in connection with its assistance provided in accordance with this Section 8.6(c)).

 

(d)               Allocation of Proceeds. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under Sections 8.6(b), 8.7 or 8.8 related to any alleged Product Infringement, whether such damages result from the infringement of Wakamoto Patents or Joint Patents, such recovery shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation, action or license, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the Party who has managed such litigation, action or license.

 

21

 

 

8.7Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Territory.

 

(a)                Notice. If any Product used or sold by Harrow or its sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party.

 

(b)               Defense. Harrow shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, to defend any such Third Party claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent as described in Section 8.7(a) above. If Harrow does not commence actions to defend such claim within [***] after it receives notice thereof or if Harrow discontinues the defense of any such action after filing, then to the extent allowed by Applicable Law, Wakamoto shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such claim by counsel of its choice, at Wakamoto’s expense. The non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim or assertion, including if required to conduct such defense, furnishing a power of attorney. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse each Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the defending Party. Notwithstanding the above, at all times during the Term if, as part of obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product in the United States, there is so called Hatch Waxman litigation where Harrow will be the defendant in such litigation, then Harrow shall be solely responsible for managing the litigation, including selection of counsel, and shall be responsible for all associated costs, including external legal fees.

 

(c)                Settlement; Licenses. The defending Party shall have the sole right to settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section 8.7 unless such settlement will (a) impose any liability or obligation on such other Party, (b) include the grant of any license, covenant or other rights to any Third Party that would conflict with or reduce the scope of the subject matter included under the rights and licenses granted to such other Party under this Agreement, or (c) otherwise materially affect the licenses or other rights granted to such other Party hereunder adversely in any respect. In the event that it is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or Harrow reasonably determines (in the opinion of independent patent counsel) that the Exploitation of a Product in the Territory, conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, data exclusivity right or trade secret right arising under Applicable Law of any Third Party, the Parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, at Harrow’s discretion: (i) procure a license from such Third Party authorizing Harrow to continue to conduct such activities (in which case Section 8.6 shall apply); or (ii) modify such activities so as to render it non-infringing. In the event that Harrow, after using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, determines that neither of the foregoing alternatives is available or commercially feasible, Harrow may, at its discretion, terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.5.

 

22

 

 

8.8Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.

 

(a)                Third-Party Patent Rights. If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non- infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that covers a Product, or the use, sale, offer for sale or importation of a Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 8.7, in which case the provisions of Section 8.7 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Harrow shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring at its own expense and in its sole control such action in the Territory. If Harrow does not bring such an action in the Territory, [***] of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 8.8(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), then Wakamoto shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Wakamoto’s sole expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 8.8(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse each Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the Party who brings such action.

 

(b)               Parties’ Patent Rights. If any Wakamoto Patent or Joint Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party within the Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 8.6, in which case the provisions of Section 8.6 shall govern), then the Party responsible for filing, preparing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent as set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, shall control such defense at its own expense. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third-Party action at its own expense. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse each Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be retained by the controlling Party.
