In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) , amending existing guidance on the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope.

The guidance provides for use of a forward-looking expected loss model for estimating credit losses, replacing the incurred loss model that is based on past events and current conditions.

The new guidance

also changes the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses (and subsequent recoveries).

The new guidance also changes the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses (and subsequent recoveries).

The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2022.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends accounting for income

taxes during interim periods and makes changes to certain income tax classifications.

The new standard allows exceptions to the use of the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation, when there is a loss from continuing operations and

income or a gain from other items, and to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year.

The standard also requires franchise or similar taxes partially

based on income to be reported as income tax and the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates to be included in the annual effective tax rate computation from the date of enactment.

The standard will be effective for the Company beginning

January 1, 2022, with early adoption of the amendments permitted.

This Accounting Standards Update was issued to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity.

Among other provisions, the amendments in this ASU significantly change the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity such that fewer conversion features will require separate recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants, will require liability treatment.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s cash requirements for 2021 and beyond include expenses related to continuing development and clinical evaluation of its products, manufacture and supply costs, costs of regulatory

filings, patent prosecution expenses and litigation expenses, expenses related to commercialization of its products, as well as costs to comply with the requirements of being a public company operating in a highly regulated industry.

As of March 31,

2021, we had $27,498 of cash and cash equivalents.

As of March 31, 2021, Aquestive has experienced a history of net losses and the Company’s accumulated deficits totaled $200,929 which have been partially funded by gross margins from sales of

commercialized licensed and proprietary products, license fees, milestone and royalty payments from our commercial licensees and co-development parties, and with the balance of the related funding requirements met by the Company’s equity and debt

offerings, including the Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “12.5% Notes”).

In 2019, the Company raised funding totaling $52,226, consisting of net proceeds of $13,110 from the refinancing of debt in July 2019, $37,295 from the public offering of

8,050,000 common shares in December 2019, and $1,821 from the exercise of warrants in connection with the debt financing.

On November 3, 2020, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Monetization Agreement”) with MAM Pangolin Royalty, LLC, an affiliate of Marathon Asset Management (“Marathon”).

terms of the Monetization Agreement, we sold all of our contractual rights to receive royalties and milestone payments due under the Sunovion License Agreement related to Sunovion’s apomorphine product, KYNMOBI®.

KYNMOBI®, an apomorphine film therapy

for the treatment of off episodes in Parkinson’s disease patients, received approval from the FDA on May 21, 2020.

In exchange for the sale of these rights, we received an upfront payment of $40,000 and an additional payment of $10,000 through the

achievement of the first milestone.

We have received an aggregate amount of $50,000 through March 31, 2021 under the Monetization Agreement.

Under the Monetization Agreement, additional aggregate contingent payments of up to $75,000 may be due to us upon the achievement of worldwide royalty and other commercial targets within a specified

timeframe, which could result in total potential proceeds of $125,000.

With the upfront proceeds of the monetization, we repaid $22,500 of the 12.5% Notes, and issued $4,000 of new 12.5% Notes in lieu of paying a prepayment premium on the early repayment of the 12.5%

Notes, reducing the aggregate principal balance of 12.5% Notes outstanding to $51,500.

In addition, the holders of the 12.5% Notes agreed to extend to December 31, 2021 our ability to access, at our option, and additional $30,000 of 12.5% Notes

re-openers under the Indenture (as defined below).

The first $10,000 senior notes re-opener represents a commitment of such amount by current holders of 12.5% Notes, at our option, contingent upon FDA approval of our product candidate Libervant.

second $20,000 senior notes re-opener represents a right, at our option, to market to current holders of our 12.5% Notes, and/or other lenders, additional senior notes up to such amount, contingent upon FDA approval of Libervant for U.S.

If and to the extent that we access these re-openers, we will grant warrants to purchase up to 714,000 shares of common stock, with the strike price calculated based on the 30-day volume weighted average closing price of our common stock at

the warrant grant date.

In addition, as of the closing of this transaction, we issued to the holders of the 12.5% Notes warrants to purchase 143,000 shares of our common stock.

The Company began utilizing its “At-The-Market” (ATM) facility in November 2020 which has generated net cash proceeds of approximately $15,945 as of March 31, 2021.

On March 26, 2021, the Company

entered into Amendment No.

1 to the equity distribution agreement, to permit the offering of an unlimited amount of shares of common stock of the Company thereunder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the equity distribution agreement.

The Company filed a prospectus supplement to offer up to an additional $50,000 of shares of common stock pursuant to the amended equity distribution agreement.

This ATM facility, as amended, has approximately $57,111 available at March 31, 2021.

The characteristics described above provide indications that the Company’s ability to execute its near-term business objectives and achieve profitability over the longer term cannot be assured.

Further, management views the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, its industry, its customers and suppliers and its own operations as constantly evolving, the future effects of which continue to be highly uncertain and unpredictable.

Due to current

or future interruptions and possible disruptions in health services, operations of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), freight and other transportation services, supply, manufacturing, workforce health, availability of acceptable

capital, financial and asset monetization markets, and availability of essential human and business requirements, and unforeseeable financial difficulties of the Company’s customers or vendors, the severity, rapidity of the spread, and duration of

the COVID-19 pandemic may be expected to negatively affect a great number of businesses across the various industries, including Aquestive.

The Company may experience financial and operational adversity in such areas as preclinical, clinical trials,

regulatory review and approval of various product candidates, customer demand for products and services, customers’, ability to pay for goods and services, supply of pharmaceutical ingredients and other raw materials from approved vendors, ongoing

availability of an appropriate labor force and skilled professionals, and additional capital, financial or monetization markets.

Subject to and absent any material adverse effect of these and other possible COVID-19 effects, the Company expects that its anticipated revenues from licensed and proprietary products, cash on hand,

expense management initiatives, milestone payments under the Monetization Agreement, and access to equity markets, including its ATM facility and shelf registration statement would be adequate to meet expected operating needs as the Company

continues to execute its business strategy, and access to appropriate financial markets for debt or equity financings, or a combination of these potential sources of funds, although management can provide no assurance that any of these sources of

funding, either individually or in combination, will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

In addition, the Company may be required to utilize available financial resources sooner than expected.

Management has based its expectation on

assumptions that could change or prove to be inaccurate, either due to the impact of COVID-19 or to unrelated factors including factors arising in the capital markets, asset monetization markets, regulatory approval process, regulatory oversight and

other factors.

The Company assesses liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities.

The Company’s cash requirements for 2021 and beyond include expenses related to continuing development and clinical evaluation of its products, manufacture and supply costs, costs of regulatory filings, patent prosecution expenses and

litigation expenses, expenses related to commercialization of its products, as well as costs to comply with the requirements of being a public company operating in a highly regulated industry.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $ 34,234 of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has experienced a history of net losses.

The Company's accumulated deficits totaled $ 213,296 as of June 30, 2021.

The net losses and accumulated deficits were partially offset by gross margins from sales of commercialized licensed and proprietary products, license fees, milestone and royalty payments from commercial licensees and co-development parties.

The Company's funding requirements are met by its cash and cash equivalents, as well as its existing equity and debt offerings, including the Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the " 12.5 % Notes").

The Company began utilizing its ATM facility in November 2020.

Since inception to June 30, 2021, the Company sold 4,907,986 shares which generated net cash proceeds of approximately $ 24,560 , net of commissions and other transaction costs of $ 1,406 .

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold 3,977,053 shares which provided net proceeds of approximately $ 18,505 , net of commissions and other transaction costs of $ 933 .

This ATM facility has approximately $ 49,038 available at June 30, 2021.

While the Company’s ability to execute its business objectives and achieve profitability over the longer term cannot be assured, the Company’s anticipated revenues from licensed and proprietary products, available cash and cash equivalents, expense management initiatives, and access to equity markets, including through its ATM facility, under the shelf registration statement will enable the Company to fund its operating needs for at least the next twelve months as it continues to execute its business strategy.

Revenues and Trade Receivables, Net

The Company’s revenues include (i) sales of manufactured products pursuant to contracts with commercialization licensees, (ii) sales of its proprietary clobazam-based Sympazan oral film product,

(iii) license and royalty revenues and (iv) co-development and research fees generally in the form of milestone payments.

The Company recognizes revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the

consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve this core principle, a five-step model is applied that includes (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the

The Company’s revenues include (i) sales of manufactured products pursuant to contracts with commercialization licensees, (ii) sales of its proprietary clobazam-based Sympazan oral film product, (iii) license and royalty revenues and (iv) co-development and research fees generally in the form of milestone payments.

The Company recognizes revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve this core principle, a five-step model is applied that includes (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligation in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in the current revenue recognition standard.

transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

At contract inception, we assess the goods promised in our contracts with customers and identify a

performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a distinct good.

When identifying our performance obligations, we consider all goods or services promised in a contract regardless of whether explicitly stated in the contract or

implied by customary business practice.

Our performance obligations consist mainly of transferring of goods and services identified in the contracts, purchase orders or invoices.

Manufacture and supply revenue – this revenue is derived from products manufactured exclusively for specific customers according to their strictly-defined specifications, subject

only to specified quality control inspections.

For sales of Sympazan, returns allowances and prompt pay discounts are estimated based on contract terms and historical

return rates, if available, and these estimates are recorded as a reduction of receivables.

Similarly determined estimates are recorded relating to wholesaler service fees, co-pay support redemptions, Medicare, Medicaid and other rebates, and these

estimates are reflected as a component of accrued liabilities.

Once all related variable considerations are resolved and uncertainties as to collectable amounts are eliminated, estimates are adjusted to actual allowance amounts.

Provisions for these

estimated amounts are reviewed and adjusted on no less than a quarterly basis.

License and Royalty Revenu e – license revenues are determined based on an assessment of whether the license is distinct from any other performance obligations

that may be included in the underlying licensing arrangement.

If the customer is able to benefit from the license without provision of any other performance obligations by the Company and the license is thereby viewed as a distinct or functional

license, the Company then determines whether the customer has acquired a right to use the license or a right to access the license.

For functional licenses that do not require further development or other ongoing activities by the Company, the

customer is viewed as acquiring the right to use the license as, and when, transferred and revenues are generally recorded at a point in time, subject to contingencies or constraints.

For symbolic licenses providing substantial value only in

conjunction with other performance obligations to be provided by the Company, revenues are generally recorded over the term of the license agreement.

Such other obligations provided by the Company generally include manufactured products, additional

development services or other deliverables that are contracted to be provided during the license term.

Payments received in excess of amounts ratably or otherwise earned are deferred and recognized over the term of the license or as contingencies or

other performance obligations are met.

Provisions for these estimated amounts are reviewed and adjusted on no less than a quarterly basis.

Co-development and Research Fees – co-development and research fees are earned through performance of specific tasks, activities or completion of stages of

development defined within a contractual development or feasibility study agreement with a customer.

The nature of these performance obligations, broadly referred to as milestones or deliverables, are usually dependent on the scope and structure of

the project as contracted, as well as the complexity of the product and the specific regulatory approval path necessary for that product.

Accordingly, the duration of the Company’s research and development projects may range from several months to

approximately three years.

Although each contractual arrangement is unique, common milestones included in these arrangements include those for the performance of efficacy and other tests, reports of findings, formulation of initial prototypes, production of stability clinical and/or scale-up batches, and stability testing of those batches.

Additional milestones may be established and linked to clinical results of the product submission and/or approval of the product by the FDA and the commercial launch of the product.

Revenue recognition arising from milestone payments is dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the milestone payments.

Milestone payments based on a non-sales metric such as a

development-based milestone (e.g., an NDA filing or obtaining regulatory approval) represent variable consideration and are included in the transaction price subject to any constraints.

If the milestone payments relate to future development, the

timing of recognition depends upon historical experience and the significance a third party has on the outcome.

For milestone payments to be received upon the achievement of a sales threshold, the revenue from the milestone payments is recognized at

the later of when the actual sales are incurred or the performance obligation to which the sales relate to has been satisfied.

Contract Assets - in certain situations, customer contractual payment terms provide for invoicing in arrears.

Accordingly, some, or all performance

obligations may be completely satisfied before the customer may be invoiced under such agreements.

In these situations, billing occurs after revenue recognition, which results in a contract asset supported by the estimated value of the completed

Financial Instruments – Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are reported on a recurring basis at fair value.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an

exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable

inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered

observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Under the Monetization Agreement, additional aggregate contingent payments of up to $75,000 may be due to us upon the achievement of worldwide royalty and other commercial targets within a specified

timeframe, which could result in total potential proceeds of $125,000.

We recorded the upfront proceeds of $40,000 and subsequent first milestone of $10,000, reduced by $2,909 of transaction costs, as a liability related to the sale of future revenue that will be

amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Monetization Agreement.

In exchange for the sale of these rights, the Company received an upfront payment of $ 40,000 and an additional payment of $ 10,000 through the achievement of the first milestone.

The Company recorded the upfront proceeds of $ 40,000 and subsequent first milestone of $ 10,000 , reduced by $ 2,909 of transaction costs, as a liability related to the sale of future revenue that will be amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Monetization Agreement.

As future contingent payments are received, they will increase the balance of the liability related to the sale of future revenue.

Although we sold all of our

rights to receive royalties and milestones, as a result of our ongoing obligations related to the generation of these royalties, we will account for these royalties as revenue.

Our ongoing obligations include the maintenance and defense of the

intellectual property and to provide assistance to Marathon in executing a new license agreement for KYNMOBI ® in the event Sunovion terminates the Sunovion License Agreement in one or more jurisdictions of the licensed territory under the

Sunovion License Agreement.

During the second quarter of 2020, under the Sunovion License Agreement, the Company recognized $8,000 of royalty revenue and corresponding royalty receivable, related to the $1,000 annual minimum

guaranteed royalty that is due in each of the next eight years.

In connection with the Monetization Agreement, the Company performed an assessment under ASC 860, Transfer and Servicing to determine whether

the existing receivable was transferred to Marathon and concluded that the receivable was not transferred.

As royalties are remitted to Marathon from Sunovion, the collection of the royalty receivable and balance of the liability related to the sale of future revenue will be effectively repaid over the

life of the agreement.

In order to determine the amortization of the liability related to the sale of future revenue, we are required to estimate the total amount of future royalty and milestone payments to Marathon over the life of the Monetization

Agreement and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the Company.

The sum of future royalty payments less the $50,000 in proceeds received and future contingent payments will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the Monetization

In order to determine the amortization of the liability related to the sale of future revenue, the Company is required to estimate the total amount of future royalty and milestone payments to Marathon over the life of the Monetization Agreement and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the Company.

The sum of future royalty payments less the $ 50,000 in proceeds received and future contingent payments will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the Monetization Agreement.

At execution, the estimate of this total interest expense resulted in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 24.9 %.

This estimate contains significant assumptions that impact both the amount recorded at execution and the interest expense that will be recognized over the life of the Monetization Agreement.

The Company will periodically assess the estimated royalty and milestone payments to Marathon from Sunovion and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the Company.

To the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different from the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to increase or decrease interest expense.

There are a number of factors that could

materially affect the amount and timing of royalty and milestone payments to Marathon from Sunovion, and correspondingly, the amount of interest expense recorded by the Company, most of which are not under our control.

Such factors include, but are

not limited to, changing standards of care, the initiation of competing products, manufacturing or other delays, generic competition, intellectual property matters, adverse events that result in government health authority imposed restrictions on the
