−Removed: Pharmaceutical
−Removed: Compounding Businesses
−Removed: Pharmaceutical
−Removed: Pharmaceutical
−Removed: compounding is the science of combining different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), all of which are approved by the FDA
−Removed: (either as a finished form product or as a bulk drug ingredient) and excipients, to create specialized pharmaceutical preparations.
−Removed: Physicians and healthcare institutions use compounded drugs when commercially available drugs do not optimally treat a patient’s
−Removed: In many cases, compounded drugs, such as ours, have wide market utility and may be clinically appropriate for large patient
−Removed: Examples of compounded formulations include medications with alternative dosage strengths or unique dosage forms,
−Removed: such as topical creams or gels, suspensions, or solutions with more tolerable drug delivery vehicles.
−Removed: all of our sales revenue is derived from making, selling and dispensing our compounded prescription drug formulations as cash
−Removed: pay transactions between us and our end-user customer.
−Removed: As such, the majority of our commercial transactions do not involve distributors,
−Removed: wholesalers, insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers or other middle parties.
−Removed: By not being reliant on insurance company
−Removed: formulary inclusion and pharmacy benefit manager payment clawbacks, we are able to simplify the prescription transaction process.
−Removed: We believe the outcome of our business model is a simple transaction, involving a patient-in-need, a physician’s diagnosis,
−Removed: a fair price and great service for a quality pharmaceutical product.
−Removed: We sell our products through a network of employees and independent
−Removed: contractors and we dispense our formulations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and in selected markets outside the United States.
−Removed: Compounding Facilities
−Removed: Pharmaceutical
−Removed: compounding businesses are governed by Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”).
−Removed: Section 503A of the FDCA provides that a pharmacy is only permitted to compound a drug for an individually identified patient
−Removed: based on a prescription for a patient, and is only permitted to distribute the drug interstate if the pharmacy is licensed to
−Removed: do so in the states where it is compounded and where the medication is received.
−Removed: 503B of the FDCA provides that a pharmacy engaged in preparing sterile compounded drug formulations may voluntarily elect to register
−Removed: as an “outsourcing facility.”
−Removed: Outsourcing facilities are permitted to compound large quantities of drugs without a
−Removed: prescription and distribute them out of state with certain limitations such as the formulation appearing on the FDA’s drug
−Removed: shortage list or the bulk drug substances contained in the formulations appearing on the FDA’s “clinical need”
−Removed: Entities voluntarily registering with FDA as outsourcing facilities are subject to additional requirements that do not apply
−Removed: to compounding pharmacies (operating under Section 503A of the FDCA), including adhering to standards such as current good manufacturing
−Removed: practices (cGMP) or other FDA guidance documents and being subject to regular FDA inspection.
−Removed: operate two compounding facilities located in Ledgewood, New Jersey.
−Removed: Our New Jersey operations are comprised of two separate entities
−Removed: and facilities, one of which is registered with the FDA as an outsourcing facility (“NJOF”) under Section 503B of
−Removed: The other New Jersey facility (“RxNJ”), is a licensed pharmacy operating under Section 503A of the FDCA.
−Removed: All products that we sell, produce and dispense are made in the United States.
−Removed: believe that, with our current compounding pharmacy facilities and licenses and FDA registration of NJOF, we have the infrastructure
−Removed: to scale our business appropriately under the current regulatory landscape and meet the potential growth in demand we are targeting.
−Removed: We plan to invest in one or more of our facilities to further their capacity and efficiencies.
−Removed: Also, we may seek to access greater
−Removed: pharmacy and production related redundancy and markets through acquisitions, partnerships or other strategic transactions.
−Removed: Pharmaceutical
−Removed: Development Businesses
−Removed: have ownership interests in Eton, Surface, Melt, Mayfield, Stowe and Radley and hold royalty interests in certain of their drug
−Removed: These companies are pursuing market approval for their drug candidates under the FDCA, including in some instances
−Removed: under the abbreviated pathway described in Section 505(b)(2) which permits the submission of a new drug application (“NDA”)
−Removed: where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for
−Removed: which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference.
−Removed: In 2018 and 2019, we formed and created subsidiaries named Radley,
−Removed: Mayfield, and Stowe, which we intend to operate similar to Eton, Surface and Melt.
−Removed: In addition, we intend to create additional
−Removed: subsidiaries that will be focused on the development and FDA approval of certain proprietary drug formulations that we currently
−Removed: own, will in-license/acquire and/or otherwise develop.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
−Removed: is a consolidated subsidiary of Harrow that was formed in 2019, focused on the development of its proprietary ophthalmic drug
−Removed: candidate STE-006.
−Removed: STE-006 is a patented, new chemical entity, small molecule topical drug candidate intended to treat various
−Removed: bacterial, fungal, and viral infections in the eye.
−Removed: In initial preclinical models, STE-006 was shown to be significantly more
−Removed: effective compared to current conventional therapies against numerous bacterial and viral pathogens, including strains of methicillin-resistant
−Removed: staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, and herpes simplex virus.
−Removed: STE-006 has several patents covering matter of composition, methods
−Removed: of production, methods of use and molecule, which are valid until 2038.
−Removed: own 2,500,000 shares of Stowe common stock, and control 70% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Stowe
−Removed: at December 31, 2019.
−Removed: We recently agreed to terms with an experienced, ophthalmology focused life science executive to be the
−Removed: CEO of Stowe which would be become effective following a deconsolidating transaction, which we are currently pursuing.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
−Removed: a consolidated subsidiary of Harrow, is a development-stage pharmaceutical company focused on consequential products that address
−Removed: the conspicuous unmet needs of patients.
−Removed: Its development programs focus on using known molecules in dosage forms for new indications,
−Removed: and by developing new chemical entities with known mechanisms of action.
−Removed: Mayfield recently licensed worldwide rights to a first-in-class
−Removed: antimicrobial drug candidate, called MAY-66, which is being studied to treat recurrent bacterial vaginosis.
−Removed: In February 2019,
−Removed: Mayfield acquired drug formulation assets and intellectual property, including three recently issued patents, for MAY-44, a drug
−Removed: candidate for the treatment of dyspareunia, or pain experienced by women during sexual intercourse.
−Removed: In addition to MAY-44, Mayfield
−Removed: is also developing MAY-88 for patients suffering from interstitial cystitis, which it will acquire from Harrow at the closing
−Removed: of a deconsolidating transaction.
−Removed: own 2,500,000 shares of Mayfield common stock, and control 70% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Mayfield
−Removed: at December 31, 2019.
−Removed: We are currently pursuing a deconsolidating transaction for Mayfield.
−Removed: Once deconsolidated, we expect Mayfield
−Removed: to be run by an experienced life science executive, that we have recently contracted with.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
−Removed: a consolidated subsidiary of Harrow, is a development-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of proprietary 505(b)(2)
−Removed: drug candidates focused on rare diseases.
−Removed: Radley currently has three drug programs in its pipeline.
−Removed: During January 2020, and prior
−Removed: to initiating significant development activities and costs related to these drug programs, we met with the FDA to establish and
−Removed: understand the expected clinical and regulatory path to approval for Radley’s lead drug program.
−Removed: Conceptually, the FDA agreed
−Removed: with our clinical program design, and we are currently considering options related to the next steps of the drug candidates development.
−Removed: We are also pursuing investigator-initiated studies for some of Radley’s drug candidates with two well-known healthcare
−Removed: institutions based in the New York and Boston areas.
−Removed: We believe this approach will allow us to better understand and weigh the
−Removed: economic costs, clinical feasibility and potential benefits associated with pursuing development activities associated with these
−Removed: drug programs.
−Removed: Radley is also pursuing additional asset acquisition and licensing opportunities with a focus in oncology-related
−Removed: De-Consolidated
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
−Removed: is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative products utilizing the FDA’s 505(b)(2)
−Removed: regulatory pathway.
−Removed: Its pipeline includes several products and drug candidates in various stages of development across a variety
−Removed: of dosage forms.
−Removed: Eton’s pipeline is focused on innovative 505(b)(2) products and obtaining FDA marketing approval for currently
−Removed: marketed but unapproved drugs.
−Removed: May 2017, Eton closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock and we lost our controlling interest in it.
−Removed: In November 2018,
−Removed: Eton completed an initial public offering of its common stock.
−Removed: We own 3,500,000 shares of Eton common stock, which we estimate
−Removed: is less than 20% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
−Removed: is a development-stage pharmaceutical company focused on development and commercialization of innovative therapeutics for ocular
−Removed: surface diseases and is seeking FDA approval for the commercialization of its drug candidates through the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory
−Removed: pathway under the FDCA.
−Removed: In 2017 and amended in April 2018, Harrow entered into asset purchase and license agreements (the “Surface
−Removed: License Agreements”) and transferred to Surface its current drug pipeline, which consists of three proprietary drug candidates.
−Removed: Surface’s patent-pending topical eye drop drug candidates, SURF-100 and SURF-200, utilize a patented delivery vehicle known
−Removed: as Klarity Drops (“Klarity”), that was invented by Harrow board member and Surface’s chairman of the board,
−Removed: renowned ophthalmologist Dr.
−Removed: Richard Lindstrom.
−Removed: Klarity is designed to protect and rehabilitate the ocular surface pathology for
−Removed: patients with dry eye disease, or DED.
−Removed: the fourth quarter of 2019, Surface filed an investigational new drug application (“IND”) for its drug program SURF-201.
−Removed: SURF-201 is a novel steroid topical eye drop drug candidate for treating pain and inflammation post-ocular surgery.
−Removed: Surface expects
−Removed: to submit an IND for its lead drug candidate, SURF-100, during the first half of 2020, for treating signs and symptoms associated
−Removed: with chronic dry eye disease.
−Removed: We expect Surface to release certain clinical data related to these programs near the end of 2020
−Removed: and beginning of 2021.
−Removed: May and July 2018, Surface closed on an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock.
−Removed: At that time, we lost our controlling interest
−Removed: and deconsolidated Surface from our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: We own 3,500,000 shares of Surface which we estimate is
−Removed: approximately 30% of the equity and voting interests as of December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
−Removed: is a development-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary non-intravenous,
−Removed: sedation and anesthesia therapeutics for human medical procedures in hospital, outpatient, and in-office settings.
−Removed: to seek regulatory approval through the FDA’s 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for its proprietary technologies, where possible.
−Removed: In December 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Melt (the “Melt Asset Purchase Agreement”), and
−Removed: Harrow assigned to Melt the underlying intellectual property for Melt’s current pipeline, including its lead drug candidate
−Removed: The core intellectual property Melt owns is a patented series of combination non-opioid sedation drug formulations that
−Removed: we estimate to have multitudinous applications.
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms of the Melt Asset Purchase Agreement, Melt is required to
−Removed: make royalty payments to the Company equal to five percent (5%) of net sales of MELT-100, while any patent rights remain outstanding,
−Removed: subject to other conditions.
−Removed: is a novel, sublingually delivered, non-IV, opioid-free drug candidate being developed for procedural sedation.
−Removed: Melt is expecting
−Removed: to file an IND and begin its clinical program for MELT-100 in the summer of 2020, and if successful, begin enrollment for its
−Removed: Phase 3 studies for MELT-100 during 2021.
−Removed: January 2019, Melt closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock and we lost our controlling interest in it.
−Removed: We own 3,500,000
−Removed: shares of Melt common stock, which we estimate is 44% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Melt as of
−Removed: December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Affecting Our Performance
−Removed: believe the primary factors affecting our performance are our ability to increase revenues of our proprietary compounded formulations
−Removed: and certain non-proprietary products, grow and gain operating efficiencies in our pharmacy operations, optimize pricing and obtain
−Removed: reimbursement options for our proprietary compounded formulations, and continue to pursue development and commercialization opportunities
−Removed: for certain of our ophthalmology and other assets that we have not yet made commercially available as compounded formulations.
−Removed: We believe we have built a tangible and intangible infrastructure that will allow us to scale revenues efficiently in the long-term.
−Removed: All of these activities will require significant costs and other resources, which we may not have or be able to obtain from operations
−Removed: or other sources.
−Removed: See “Liquidity and Capital Resources”
−Removed: Reimbursement
−Removed: proprietary ophthalmic compounded formulations are currently primarily available on a cash-pay basis.
−Removed: However, we work with third-party
−Removed: insurers, pharmacy benefit managers and buying groups to offer patient-specific customizable compounded formulations at accessible
−Removed: We may devote time and other resources to seek reimbursement and patient pay opportunities for these and other compounded
−Removed: formulations and we have hired pharmacy billers to process certain existing reimbursement opportunities for certain formulations.
−Removed: However, we may be unsuccessful in achieving these goals, as many third-party payors have imposed significant restrictions on
−Removed: reimbursement for compounded formulations in recent years.
−Removed: Moreover, third-party payors, including Medicare, are increasingly
−Removed: attempting to contain health care costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in
−Removed: some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted labeling
−Removed: Further, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation
−Removed: Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Law”), may have a considerable impact on the existing U.S.
−Removed: for the delivery and financing of health care and could conceivably have a material effect on our business.
−Removed: As a result, reimbursement
−Removed: from Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors may never be available for any of our products or, if available, may not
−Removed: be sufficient to allow us to sell the products on a competitive basis and at desirable price points.
−Removed: We are communicating with
−Removed: government and third-payor payors in order to make our formulations available to more patients and at optimized pricing levels.
−Removed: However, if government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for our formulations,
−Removed: the market acceptance and opportunity for our formulations may be limited.
−Removed: August 30, 2019, CMS issued an update to the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System, with an effective date of October
−Removed: 1, 2019 (the “MLN Update”).
−Removed: The MLN Update included clarification on guidance for intraocular or periocular injections
−Removed: of combinations of anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, including the family of Dropless®
−Removed: formulations made and sold by
−Removed: Specifically, the MLN Update stated that nothing in the current CMS policy is intended to preclude physicians or other
−Removed: professionals from discussing the potential benefits and drawbacks of Dropless Therapy®
−Removed: formulations with their patients,
−Removed: and to prescribe them if the patient so elects.
−Removed: following describes certain developments in 2019 to date that are important to understand our financial condition and results
−Removed: of operations.
−Removed: See the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about
−Removed: each of these developments.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals Asset Purchase Agreement and Series A Round
−Removed: described more fully above under the sub-heading “Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc.”, we entered into the Melt Asset Purchase
−Removed: Agreement with our previously wholly owned subsidiary, Melt.
−Removed: Following closing of the Melt Series A Round, in January 2019, we
−Removed: lost controlling interest in Melt.
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms of the Melt Asset Purchase Agreement, we assigned and licensed to Melt
−Removed: certain intellectual property and related rights to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license its current drug candidate
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals MAY-44 Asset Purchase Agreement
−Removed: and Harrow acquired the intellectual property associated with MAY-44 in January 2019 from Elle Pharmaceutical LLC in exchange
−Removed: for $25,000, with an additional $175,000 due upon third party financing of Mayfield, 1,000,000 shares of Mayfield common stock
−Removed: and a 7.5% royalty rate on sales of the product.
−Removed: In February 2020, Mayfield entered into a common stock purchase agreement with
−Removed: Elle to re-acquire 650,000 shares of Mayfield common stock from Elle for a total purchase price of $1,000.
−Removed: Refinance –
−Removed: May 2019, we entered into a joinder and amendment (the “Amendment”) to our term loan and security agreement dated
−Removed: as of July 19, 2017 (the “SWK Loan”), with SWK Funding LLC and its partners (the “Lender”), as lender
−Removed: and collateral agent.
−Removed: A summary of the material changes contained in the Amendment are as follows:
−Removed: interest rate calculation that the loan bears is now equal to the three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (subject to a
−Removed: minimum of 2.00%), plus an applicable margin of 10.00% (the “Margin Rate”) provided that, if, two days prior to
−Removed: a payment date, we provide the Lender evidence that we have achieved a leverage ratio as of such date of less than 4.00:1:00,
−Removed: the Margin Rate shall equal 9.00%;
−Removed: and if we have achieved a leverage ratio as of such date of less than 3.00:1:00, the Margin
−Removed: Rate shall equal 7.00%;
−Removed: ratio in the Amendment means, as of any date of determination, the ratio of:
−Removed: (a) indebtedness as of such date to (b) EBITDA
−Removed: (as defined in the SWK Loan), of us for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period, adding-back (i) actual litigation
−Removed: expenses for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period, minus (ii) actual litigation expenses for the immediately
−Removed: preceding three (3) month period multiplied by four (4);
−Removed: definition of the first amortization date was changed to May 14, 2020, permitting us to pay interest only on the principal
−Removed: amount loaned for the next four payments (payments are due on a quarterly basis) following the Amendment;
−Removed: to the satisfaction of certain revenue and market capitalization requirements and conditions, the Lender agreed to make available
−Removed: to us an additional principal amount of up to $5,000,000.
−Removed: addition to the terms described above, the Amendment joined our recently created subsidiaries to the SWK Loan and added definitions
−Removed: related to excluded subsidiaries that are not considered co-borrowers and are subsidiaries which we believe will eventually
−Removed: be deconsolidated from our financials and we will lose 50% or more of the equity interests of the subsidiary.
−Removed: Pharmaceuticals MAY-66 License
−Removed: July 2019, Mayfield entered into a License Agreement (the “TGV License”) with TGV-Health, LLC and affiliated entities
−Removed: (collectively, “TGV”), to acquire intellectual property rights for use in the women’s health field, related
−Removed: to Mayfield’s proprietary drug candidate MAY-66.
−Removed: The TGV License provides that TGV will cooperate with Mayfield in transferring
−Removed: all embodiments of the intellectual property (including know-how) related to the TGV License, assist in obtaining and protecting
−Removed: its patent rights for the acquired intellectual property and that Mayfield will use commercially reasonable efforts to research,

−Removed: of its common stock to TGV and is required to make certain milestone payments to TGV over the development of MAY-66 and any related
−Removed: products based on the licensed intellectual property.
−Removed: July 2019, Stowe entered into a License Agreement (the “Stowe License”) with TGV, to acquire intellectual property
−Removed: rights for use in the ophthalmology and optic health fields, related to Stowe’s proprietary drug candidate STE-006.
−Removed: Stowe License provides that TGV will cooperate with Stowe in transferring all embodiments of the intellectual property (including
−Removed: know-how) related to the Stowe License, assist in obtaining and protecting its patent rights for the acquired intellectual property
−Removed: and that Stowe will use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize products based on the acquired
−Removed: intellectual property.
−Removed: In connection with the Stowe License, Stowe is obligated to make royalty payments to TGV equal to a low

−Removed: payments to TGV over the development of STE-006 and any related products based on the licensed intellectual property.
−Removed: Restructuring
−Removed: August 30, 2019, Park Compounding, Inc.
−Removed: (“Park”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Harrow Health, Inc., and Noice Rx, LLC
−Removed: (“Noice”) terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated July 26, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between
−Removed: Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Park had agreed to sell substantially all its assets associated with its
−Removed: non-ophthalmology pharmaceutical compounding business to Noice, including its pharmacy facility and equipment located in Irvine,
−Removed: The closing of the sale transaction was dependent on the California State Board of Pharmacy approving of the sale
−Removed: and issuing a temporary pharmacy and sterile license permit to Noice, which did not occur and led to Park ceasing operations at
−Removed: the close of business on August 27, 2019.
−Removed: closure of the Park pharmacy, the Company elected to restructure the Park business and facilitate the transition of certain compounded
−Removed: formulations and related equipment from Park to the Company’s New Jersey-based compounded pharmaceutical production facilities
−Removed: (the “Park Restructuring”).
−Removed: As a result of the Park Restructuring, the Company incurred non-cash impairment costs
−Removed: of approximately $3,781,000 related to assets held at Park, primarily associated with property, plant, equipment, goodwill and
−Removed: other intangible assets and, in addition, to incur approximately $480,000 in one-time costs related to severance packages and
−Removed: other costs associated with the Park Restructuring, during the year ended December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Since the Park Restructuring, all
−Removed: compounding business has been consolidated into the Company’s ImprimisRx business.
−Removed: have reduced the Park compounded product formulary to seven base formulations, based on factors including unit order volumes,
−Removed: revenues and gross margin percentages.
−Removed: During the first quarter of 2020, we believe ImprimisRx was able to retain and re-acquire
−Removed: approximately half of Park’s historical revenue.
−Removed: of Operations

−Removed: For the year ended
−Removed: Product sales, net
−Removed: License revenues
−Removed: Total revenues
−Removed: increase in revenue between periods was largely attributable to increased sales of our proprietary formulations and furtherance
−Removed: of our ophthalmology related compounded formulations.
−Removed: Our gross ophthalmology related sales were approximately $47,692,000 for
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $34,135,000 in 2018.

−Removed: inception through December 31, 2019, we have incurred aggregate losses of $74,043,000.

−Removed: general and administrative and research and development expenses incurred in connection with developing and seeking regulatory
−Removed: approval for a former drug candidate, which activities we have now discontinued, the development and commercialization of novel
−Removed: compounded formulations and the development of our pharmacy operations.
−Removed: of the date of this Annual Report, we believe that cash and cash equivalents of $4,749,000 and restricted investments of $200,000,
−Removed: totaling approximately $4,949,000 at December 31, 2019, will be sufficient to sustain our planned level of operations and capital

−Removed: be inaccurate, we may pursue acquisitions of pharmacies or other strategic transactions that involve large expenditures or we
−Removed: may experience growth more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which could result in the depletion of capital
−Removed: resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing earlier than we expect to support our
−Removed: expect to use our current cash position and funds generated from our operations and any financing to pursue our business plan,
−Removed: which includes developing and commercializing compounded formulations and technologies, integrating and developing our compounding
−Removed: operations, pursuing potential future strategic transactions as opportunities arise, including potential acquisitions of additional
−Removed: pharmacy, outsourcing facilities, drug company and manufacturers, and/or assets or technologies, and otherwise fund our operations.
−Removed: We may also use our resources to conduct clinical trials or other studies in support of our formulations or any drug candidate

−Removed: Cash and cash equivalents at end of the year
−Removed: cash provided by operating activities was $950,000 in 2019, compared to $687,000 in the prior year.
−Removed: Net cash provided by operating
−Removed: activities during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was the result of increased unit volumes and sales, production efficiencies
−Removed: and management of operating expenses.
−Removed: cash used in investing activities in 2019 and 2018 was $(1,833,000) and $(2,199,000), respectively.
−Removed: Cash used in investing activities
−Removed: in 2019 compared to 2018 were primarily associated with additional equipment purchases, facility expansions and upgrades, and
−Removed: investments in our intellectual property portfolio.
−Removed: cash (used in) provided by financing activities in 2019 and 2018 was $(1,006,000) and $4,131,000, respectively.
−Removed: The cash used
−Removed: in financing activities during 2019 is primarily attributable to the principal and interest paid on the long-term debt.
−Removed: provided by financing activities during 2018 is primarily attributable to proceeds received from the exercise of warrants.
−Removed: principal sources of cash consist of cash provided by operating activities from our pharmaceutical compounding business.
−Removed: also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Eton, Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries.
−Removed: We began producing cash from
−Removed: our operations during 2018, however historically, we haven’t received sufficient revenues to support our operations and
−Removed: may not be able to continue to do so.
−Removed: may need significant additional capital to support our business plan and fund our proposed business operations.
−Removed: We may receive
−Removed: additional proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants that are currently outstanding.
−Removed: We may also seek additional financing
−Removed: from a variety of sources, including other equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements,
−Removed: sales of assets or any other financing transaction.
−Removed: If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds,
−Removed: our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable
−Removed: terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders.
−Removed: If we raise additional funds through
−Removed: collaboration or licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our
−Removed: product candidates or proprietary technologies or formulations, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
−Removed: raise funds by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to
−Removed: our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase.
−Removed: Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would
−Removed: increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as the financial and
−Removed: operating covenants included in the agreements governing the SWK Loan.
−Removed: Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future
−Removed: capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution
−Removed: expenses and other costs.
−Removed: We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may
−Removed: issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.
−Removed: may be unable to obtain financing when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions,
−Removed: conditions in the pharmaceuticals and pharmacy industries, or our operating history, including our past bankruptcy proceedings.
−Removed: In addition, the fact that we have a limited history of profitability could further impact the availability or cost to us of future
−Removed: As a result, sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source or, if available, such funds may not
−Removed: be available on terms that are acceptable to us.
−Removed: If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital needs when needed, then
−Removed: we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to continue
−Removed: to operate our business pursuant to our business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending to a
−Removed: sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments
−Removed: in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue
−Removed: our operations entirely.
−Removed: Accounting Policies
−Removed: rely on the use of estimates and make assumptions that impact our financial condition and results.
−Removed: These estimates and assumptions
−Removed: are based on historical results and trends as well as our forecasts of how results and trends might change in the future.
−Removed: we believe that the estimates we use are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
−Removed: believe that the accounting policies described below are critical to understanding our business, results of operations and financial
−Removed: condition because they involve the use of more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial
−Removed: An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions
−Removed: about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and any changes in the assumptions used in making the
−Removed: accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Recognition and Deferred Revenue
−Removed: January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective transition method.
−Removed: There was no effect or any
−Removed: adjustments to retained earnings upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2018.
−Removed: We have two primary streams of revenue:
−Removed: revenue recognized from our sale of products within our pharmacy services and (2) revenue recognized from intellectual property
−Removed: license and asset purchase agreements.
−Removed: Revenues from Pharmacy Services
−Removed: sell prescription drugs directly through our pharmacy and outsourcing facility network.
−Removed: Revenue from our pharmacy services divisions
−Removed: (i) the portion of the price the client pays directly to us, net of any volume-related or other discounts paid back
−Removed: to the client, (ii) the price paid to us by individuals, and (iii) customer copayments made directly to the pharmacy network.
−Removed: Sales taxes are not included in revenue.
−Removed: Following the core principle of ASU 2014-09, we have identified the following:
−Removed: the contract(s) with a customer:
−Removed: A contract exists with a customer at the time the prescription or order is received by the
−Removed: the performance obligations in the contract:
−Removed: The order received contains the performance obligations to be met, in almost
−Removed: all cases the product the customer is wishing to receive.
−Removed: If we are unable to be meet the performance obligation the customer
−Removed: the transaction price:
−Removed: the transaction price is based on the product being sold to the customer, and any related customer
−Removed: These amounts are pre-determined and built into our order management software.
−Removed: the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract:
−Removed: The transaction price associated with the product(s)
−Removed: being ordered is allocated according to the pre-determined amounts.
−Removed: revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation:
−Removed: At the time of shipment from the pharmacy or outsourcing
−Removed: facility the performance obligation has been met.
−Removed: following revenue recognition policy has been established for the pharmacy services division:
−Removed: generated from prescription or office use drugs sold by our pharmacies and outsourcing facility are recognized when the prescription
−Removed: At the time of shipment, the pharmacy services division has performed substantially all of its obligations under its
−Removed: client contracts and does not experience a significant level of returns or reshipments.
−Removed: Determination of criteria (3) and (4)
−Removed: is based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability
−Removed: of those amounts.
−Removed: We record reductions to revenue for discounts at the time of the initial sale.
−Removed: Estimated returns and allowances
−Removed: and other adjustments are provided for in the same period during which the related sales are recorded and are based on actual
−Removed: returns history.
−Removed: The rate of returns is analyzed annually to determine historical returns experience.
−Removed: If the historical data we
−Removed: use to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future returns, then a change in the allowance would be made in the period
−Removed: in which such a determination is made and revenues in that period could be materially affected.
−Removed: We will defer any revenues received
−Removed: for a product that has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we and the customer jointly determine that
−Removed: the product has been delivered and no refund will be required.
−Removed: Property License Revenues
−Removed: currently hold four intellectual property license and related agreements in which we have promised to grant a license or
−Removed: sale which provides a customer with right to access our intellectual property.
−Removed: License arrangements may consist of non-refundable
−Removed: upfront license fees, data transfer fees, research reimbursement payments, exclusive license rights to patented or patent pending
−Removed: compounds, technology access fees, and various performance or sales milestones.
−Removed: These arrangements can be multiple element arrangements,
−Removed: each of which revenue is recognized at the point of time the performance obligation is met.
−Removed: Non-refundable
−Removed: fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us and require no consequential continuing involvement on our part are
−Removed: recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology, compounded drug preparation and/or other
−Removed: deliverable is delivered.
−Removed: Such deliverables may include physical quantities of compounded drug preparations, design of the compounded
−Removed: drug preparations and structure-activity relationships, the conceptual framework and mechanism of action, and rights to the patents
−Removed: or patent applications for such compounded drug preparations.
−Removed: We defer recognition of non-refundable fees if it has continuing
−Removed: performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable
−Removed: fee has no utility to the licensee and that are separate and independent of our performance under the other elements of the arrangement.
−Removed: In addition, if our continued involvement is required, through research and development services that are related to its proprietary
−Removed: know-how and expertise of the delivered technology or can only be performed by us, then such non-refundable fees are deferred
−Removed: and recognized over the period of continuing involvement.
−Removed: Guaranteed minimum annual royalties are recognized on a straight-line
−Removed: basis over the applicable term.

−Removed: Fair value is
−Removed: determined at the date of grant.
−Removed: The financial statement effect of forfeitures is estimated at the time of grant and revised,
−Removed: if necessary, if the actual effect differs from those estimates.
−Removed: accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the Financial
−Removed: Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance.
−Removed: The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued
−Removed: is the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at
−Removed: which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.
−Removed: In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair
−Removed: value of the equity instrument is primarily recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
−Removed: According to FASB guidance,
−Removed: an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified
−Removed: as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.
−Removed: we record the fair value of nonforfeitable equity instruments issued for future consulting services as prepaid stock-based consulting
−Removed: expenses in our consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we must estimate our actual current tax liabilities and
−Removed: assess permanent and temporary differences that result from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes.
−Removed: temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet.
−Removed: We must assess
−Removed: the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery
−Removed: is not more likely than not, a valuation allowance must be established which reduces the amount of deferred tax assets recorded
−Removed: on the consolidated balance sheets.
−Removed: To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in
−Removed: a period, the impact will be included in income tax expense in the statement of operations.
−Removed: and Development
−Removed: expense all costs related to research and development as they are incurred.
−Removed: Research and development expenses consist of expenses
−Removed: incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, other overhead expenses, and costs
−Removed: related to clinical trials, contract services and outsourced contracts.
−Removed: costs of acquiring intellectual property rights to be used in the research and development process, including licensing fees and
−Removed: milestone payments, are charged to research and development expense as incurred in situations where we have not identified an
−Removed: alternative future use for the acquired rights, and are capitalized in situations where we have identified an alternative future
−Removed: use for the acquired rights.
−Removed: Patents and trademarks are recorded at cost and capitalized at a time when the future economic benefits
−Removed: of such patents and trademarks become more certain (see “—Goodwill and Intangible Assets”
−Removed: We began capitalizing
−Removed: certain costs associated with acquiring intellectual property rights during 2015, if costs are not capitalized they are expensed
−Removed: of Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: assets, such as property, plant and equipment, purchased intangibles subject to amortization and patents and trademarks,
−Removed: are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
−Removed: be recoverable.
−Removed: Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
−Removed: estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
−Removed: If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
−Removed: estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
−Removed: the fair value of the asset.
−Removed: Assets to be disposed would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported
−Removed: at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.
−Removed: The assets and liabilities
−Removed: of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections
−Removed: of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.
−Removed: and Intangible Assets
−Removed: and trademarks are recorded at cost and capitalized at a time when the future economic benefits of such patents and trademarks
−Removed: become more certain.
−Removed: At that time, we capitalize third party legal costs and filing fees associated with obtaining and prosecuting
−Removed: claims related to its patents and trademarks.
−Removed: Once the patents have been issued, we amortize these costs over the shorter of the
−Removed: legal life of the patent or its estimated economic life, generally 20 years, using the straight-line method.
−Removed: Trademarks are an
−Removed: indefinite life intangible asset and are assessed for impairment based on future projected cash flows as further described below.
−Removed: review our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of January 1 of each year and when an event or a
−Removed: change in circumstances indicates the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount.
−Removed: Events or changes in circumstances
−Removed: considered as impairment indicators include but are not limited to the following:
−Removed: underperformance of the our business relative to expected operating results;
−Removed: adverse economic and industry trends;
−Removed: decline in the our market capitalization for an extended period of time relative to net book value;
−Removed: that a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.
−Removed: goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process as follows:
−Removed: We compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the existing goodwill.
−Removed: The fair value of
−Removed: each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation analysis.
