HARROW HEALTH, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 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”) 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 equity positions in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”), Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”),
and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), all companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. In 2020, Harrow created
Visionology, Inc. (“Visionology”), which will launch 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 months ended March 31, 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 inter-company 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and
cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, as well
as our inactive majority owned subsidiaries Mayfield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Stowe Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following represents an update for the three months
ended March 31, 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, 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.
7
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 income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in
consolidated net income (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 income (loss) per common share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable
to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options,
unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and warrants, outstanding during the period.
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is computed
using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares (using the treasury
stock or “if converted” method) from stock options, RSUs and warrants were
5,486,678 and 5,253,638 at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 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
income (loss) 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 223,219 and 244,460 , respectively.
The following table shows the computation of basic
net income (loss) per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

value of Eton’s common stock was $ 7.32 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 loss from its Eton common stock position of $ 2,835 and $ 10,850 during the three months ended

As of March 31, 2021, the fair market value of the Company’s investment in Eton was $ 25,620 .
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Mark

sold 1,518,000 shares of its Eton common stock (see Note 17 for more information related to this subsequent event). In light of these
events, the Company has determined that Eton is no longer a related party.
Investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. –
Related Party
The Company owns 3,500,000 common shares (which is
approximately 44 % of the equity interests as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020,
the Company recorded equity in the net losses of Melt of $ 470 and $ 546 , respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the
Company’s investment in Melt was $ 2,056 and $ 2,506 , respectively, which includes $ 881 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”).
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 30 % of the equity interests as of March 31, 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. The Company recorded equity in
the net losses of Surface of $ 849 and $ 339 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and

disclosure regarding Surface.

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.
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 principle
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.
10
Intellectual Property License Revenues
As of March 31, 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
months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, consists of the following:

12. DEBT
SWK
Senior Note – 2017
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 that was 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 has 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 four.
Subsequent to
March 31, 2021, the Company completed an offering of unsecured senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $ 55,000 and used
a portion of the proceeds to pay off all outstanding obligations and indebtedness related to the SWK Loan (see Note 17 for additional
information).
Interest
expense related to the SWK Loan Agreement, as amended, amounted to $ 509 and $ 560 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively, and included amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $ 96 and $ 160 for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Paycheck
Protection Program Loan
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 debt for the loan balance of $ 1,967 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period ended March
31, 2021.

Option Plan
On

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 (the “2017 Plan” together with the 2007 Plan, the “Plans”). As of March
31, 2021, the 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 2,000,000 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, 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 4,077 shares available for future issuances under the 2017 Plan

years . Vesting terms for options granted to employees
and consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows: 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:

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 of Delaware asserting claims for 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 a claim related to its purported
termination of the APA. In October 2019, NDS voluntarily dismissed all claims related to breach of contract, leaving only claims related
to the scope of the post-termination obligations to be litigated. On October 29, 2020, at a hearing on the various dispositive motions
before it, the Court found that there were triable issues of fact and reopened discovery for limited purposes. NDS is seeking unspecified
damages, interest, attorney’s fees and other costs. The Company believes the claims are meritless and has previously and will continue
to dispute all claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend against these allegations. Nonetheless, the Company cannot
predict the eventual outcome of this litigation and it could result in substantial costs, losses and a diversion of management’s
resources and attention, which could harm the Company’s business and the value of its common stock.

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 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 seeks indemnity and contribution from the
Company and Spectrum. The Company answered the claims filed by Dr. Kelly in October 2018. The case is currently in the discovery phase.
Erick is seeking unspecified damages, interest, attorney’s fees and other costs. The Company believes the claims are meritless
and has previously and will continue to dispute all claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend against these allegations.
Nonetheless, the Company cannot predict the eventual outcome of this litigation, it could result in substantial costs, losses and a diversion
of management’s resources and attention, which could harm the Company’s business and the value of its common stock.
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.
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 entered into a license agreement in April 2017 and as amended in April 2018, (the “Klarity License Agreement”) with
Richard L. Lindstrom, M.D., a member of its Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Klarity License Agreement, the Company licensed
certain intellectual property and related rights from Dr. Lindstrom to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license the topical ophthalmic
solution Klarity designed to protect and rehabilitate the ocular surface (the “Klarity Product”).
Under
the terms of the Klarity License Agreement, the Company is required to make royalty payments to Dr. Lindstrom ranging from 3% - 6% of
net sales, dependent upon the final formulation of the Klarity Product sold. In addition, the Company is required to make certain milestone
payments to Dr. Lindstrom including: (i) an initial payment of $ 50 upon execution of the Klarity License Agreement, (ii) a second payment
of $ 50 following the first $ 50 in net sales of the Klarity Product; and (iii) a final payment of $ 50 following the first $ 100 in net
sales of the Klarity Product. All of the above referenced milestone payments are payable at the Company’s election in cash or shares
of the Company’s restricted common stock. Payments totaling $ 35 and $ 55 were made during the three months ended March 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. $ 35 and $ 29 was incurred as royalty expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
and included in accounts payable to Dr. Lindstrom.
21
Injectable
Asset Purchase Agreement – Related Party
In
December 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Lindstrom APA”) with Dr. Lindstrom, a member of
its Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Lindstrom APA, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and related rights
from Dr. Lindstrom to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license an ophthalmic injectable product (the “Lindstrom Product”).
Under
the terms of the Lindstrom APA, the Company is required to make royalty payments to Dr. Lindstrom ranging from 2% to 3% of net sales,
dependent upon the final formulation and patent protection of the Lindstrom Product sold. In addition, the Company is required to make
certain milestone payments to Dr. Lindstrom including an initial payment of $ 33 upon execution of the Lindstrom APA. Dr. Lindstrom was
paid $ 7 and $ 7 in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company incurred $ 7 and $ 38 for royalty
expenses related to the Lindstrom APA during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Eyepoint
Commercial Alliance Agreement
In
August 2020, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary ImprimisRx, LLC, entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “Dexycu
Agreement”) with Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eyepoint”), pursuant to which Eyepoint granted the Company 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 will pay the Company a fee calculated based on the quarterly
sales of DEXYCU in excess of predefined volumes to specific customers of the Company in the U.S. Under the terms of the Dexycu
Agreement , the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and market DEXYCU in the U.S.
Subject
to early termination, the Dexycu Agreement expires on August 1, 2025, subject to specified
notice periods and specified limitations, either party may terminate the Dexycu Agreement
in the event of (i) uncured material breach by the other party or (ii) if DEXYCU ceases to have “pass-through” payment status.
In addition, subject to certain limitations, the Company may terminate the Dexycu Agreement
(i) for convenience subject to an extended specified notice period or (ii) in the event Eyepoint undergoes a change of control. Eyepoint
may terminate the Dexycu Agreement , subject to specified notice periods and specified limitations,
if the Company fails to achieve certain minimum sales levels during specified periods. During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
the Company recorded $ 485 in commission revenues related to the Dexycu Agreement.
Sales
and Marketing Agreements
The
Company has entered various sales and marketing agreements with certain organizations, to provide exclusive and non-exclusive sales and
marketing representation services to Harrow in select geographies in the U.S., in connection with the Company’s ophthalmic pharmaceutical
compounded formulations or related products.
Under
the terms of the sales and marketing agreements, the Company is, generally, required to make commission payments equal to 10 % - 14 % of
net sales for products above and beyond the initial existing sales amounts. In addition, the Company is required to make periodic milestone
payments to certain organizations in shares of the Company’s restricted common stock if net sales in the assigned territory reach
certain future levels by the end of their terms, as applicable. $ 0 and $ 83 of stock-based payments were recorded and $ 804 and $ 603 were
incurred under these agreements for commission expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Asset
Purchase, License and Related Agreements
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.
22
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. $ 232 and $ 144 were incurred under these agreements as royalty expenses and included in accounts payable at March 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively.
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 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.
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.

Overview
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
equity positions in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”), Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”), and Melt
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), all companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. In 2020, Harrow created Visionology,
Inc. (“Visionology”) and will launch an online eye health platform business in certain regions. We also own
royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.
27
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 examples 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”).
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 expect to launch 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 later in 2021.
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.
28
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 Businesses
We
have ownership interests in 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.
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 may not restart any or all activities related to these businesses.
De-Consolidated
Businesses (Noncontrolling Equity Interests)
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
as well as being 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 on an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we lost our controlling interest and deconsolidated
Surface from our consolidated financial statements. We own 3,500,000 shares of Surface which was approximately 30% of the equity and
voting interests as of March 31, 2021. Harrow owns mid-single digit royalty rights on net sales of SURF-100, SURF-200 and SURF-201. We
expect Surface to complete another round of financing within the next six months.
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”), and Harrow assigned to Melt the underlying intellectual property for Melt’s current
pipeline, including its lead drug candidate MELT-100. The core intellectual property Melt owns is a patented series of combination non-opioid
sedation drug formulations that we estimate to have multitudinous applications.
29
MELT-100
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-100. In February 2021, Melt
announced data from, and the successful completion of, its phase 1 study. Melt expects to begin its phase 2 study for MELT-100 in the
second half of 2021.
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 44% of the equity
and voting interests issued and outstanding of as of March 31, 2021. We expect Melt to complete another round of financing within the
next six months. Pursuant to the terms of the Melt Asset Purchase Agreement, Melt is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments
to the Company on net sales of MELT-100, 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-100. 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 lost our controlling interest in it. In November 2018, Eton completed an initial public offering
of its common stock. At that time, we gave up our controlling interest and deconsolidated Eton from our consolidated financial statements.
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 20% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of March 31, 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.
30
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, 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 approximately 8.1% of the equity interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of April 12, 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). The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Eton Stock
Sale for general corporate purposes, including funding future strategic product acquisitions and related investments, making capital
expenditures and funding working capital.
8.625%
Senior Notes Due 2026
In
April 2021, we closed an offering of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”)
and in May 2021, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes
($55,000,000 in total). T he 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. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Notes for general corporate
purposes, including funding future strategic product acquisitions and related investments, making capital expenditures and funding
working capital.
31
Series
B Cumulative Preferred Stock
On
May 5, 2021, we issued 440,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for
gross proceeds of $11,000. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock, has no voting rights, except
as required by Delaware law, and is redeemable by us at any time. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock, when and as authorized
by the our Board of Directors, are entitled to cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 9.50% of the $25.00 liquidation preference
per year (equivalent to $2.375 per share per year); provided, however, that for each thirty (30) day period following May 5, 2021,
the dividend rate shall be increased in increments of fifty (50) basis points, and effective September 30, 2021, the dividend
rate shall be set at 12%, and for each thirty (30) day period thereafter, the dividend rate shall be increased in increments of
one hundred (100) basis points except as otherwise limited by applicable law. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears,
on or about the 15th of January, April, July and October, beginning on or about July 15, 2021. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will have preference to holders of our common
stock at $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether authorized or declared). The Company expects to use
the net proceeds from the Series B Preferred Stock for general corporate purposes, including funding future strategic product
acquisitions and related investments, making capital expenditures and funding working capital.
Mayfield
Pharmaceuticals MAY-66 License Termination
In
May 2021, Mayfield terminated the License Agreement (the “TGV License”) with TGV-Health, LLC and affiliated entities (collectively,
“TGV”), pursuant to which it acquired intellectual property rights for use in the women’s health field, related to
Mayfield’s proprietary drug candidate MAY-66. Concurrent with the termination, TGV returned to Mayfield 300,000 shares of Mayfield’s
common stock, constituting all of the equity held by TVG. Mayfield has no outstanding or remaining obligations under the TGV License.
Mayfield
Pharmaceuticals MAY-44 APA Termination
In
May 2021, Mayfield and Harrow terminated their asset purchase agreement dated January 2020 for intellectual property rights associated
with Mayfield’s drug candidate MAY-44 with Elle Pharmaceutical LLC (the “MAY-44 APA”). As part of the termination,
Mayfield re-acquired 350,000 shares of its common stock from Elle for $350. Mayfield has no outstanding or remaining obligations
related to the MAY-44 APA.
Stowe
License Termination
In
May 2021, Stowe terminated the License Agreement (the “Stowe License”) with TGV, pursuant to which it acquired intellectual
property rights for use in the ophthalmic field, related to Stowe’s proprietary drug candidate STE-006. Concurrent with the termination,
TGV returned to Stowe 1,750,000 shares of Stowe’s common stock, constituting all of the equity held by TVG. Stowe has no outstanding
or remaining obligations under the Stowe License.

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.
34
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 March 31, 2021 was $6,504,000, 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 $6,304,000 and restricted investments of $200,000,
totaling approximately $6,504,000 at March 31, 2021, along with gross proceeds received from the Eton Stock Sale of $10,626,000,
$55,000,000 from the issuance of the Notes and $11,000,000 from the issuance of our Series B Cumulative Preferred
Stock 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, our plans for this period may change, our estimates
of our operating expenses, capital expenditures and working capital requirements could be inaccurate, 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 earlier than we expect to support our
operations.
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 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.

Activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $3,208,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $550,000 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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $(224,000) and $(273,000), respectively.
Cash used in investing activities in 2021 and 2020 was primarily associated with equipment and software purchases and upgrades along
with investments in our intellectual property portfolio.
35
Financing
Activities
Net
cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $(781,000) and $(2,000), respectively. Cash
used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was related to principal payments on our SWK loan.
Sources
of Capital
Our
principal sources of cash consist of cash provided by operating activities from our pharmaceutical compounding business, in addition
to proceeds received subsequent to March 31, 2021 from the sale of the Notes, Series B Preferred Stock and sale of Eton Stock. We may
also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries, along with the remaining portion of our
Eton common stock.
The
changing trends and overall economic outlook in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the historical 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 US. 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.

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.
36
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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.

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
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 O ur Financial Position, Need for Additional Capital and 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 and May 2021, we issued $55,000,000 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.
38
We
have raised over $65,000,000 in gross proceeds through equity and debt financings in April and May 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.
39
In
addition, the indenture does not include any protection against certain events, such as a change of control, a leveraged recapitalization
or “going private” transaction (which may result in a significant increase of our indebtedness levels), 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 limit the market price of the Notes or 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 a rating, such
ratings, if they are lower than market expectations or are subsequently lowered or withdrawn, could adversely affect the market for or
the market value of the Notes.
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 senior 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.
40
Risks
Related to the Series B Preferred Stock
We
have the right to issue shares of preferred stock without obtaining stockholder approval. The Series B Preferred Stock has, and any preferred
stock issued in the future may have, rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock.
We
are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with such rights, preferences and privileges as
may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. On May 5, 2021, we issued 440,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred
Stock. Such shares have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock. Our Board of Directors is empowered,
without stockholder approval, to issue additional preferred stock at any time in one or more series and to fix the dividend rights, dissolution
or liquidation preferences, redemption prices, conversion rights, voting rights and other rights, preferences and privileges for any
series of our preferred stock that may be issued. The issuance of shares of such preferred stock, depending on the rights, preferences
and privileges attributable to the preferred stock, could reduce the voting rights and powers of our common stockholders and the portion
of our assets allocated for distribution to holders of our Series B Preferred Stock and to common stockholders in a liquidation event,
and could also result in dilution to the book value per share of our stock. The preferred stock could also be utilized, under certain
circumstances, as a method for raising additional capital or discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company.
We
cannot assure that quarterly dividends on, or any other payments in respect of, the Series B Preferred Stock will be made timely or at
all.
We
cannot assure that we will be able to pay quarterly dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock or redeem the Series B Preferred Stock,
if we wanted to do so. Quarterly dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock will be paid from funds legally available for such purpose
when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. Certain factors may influence our decision, or adversely affect our ability, to pay
dividends on, or make other payments in respect of, our Series B Preferred Stock, including, among other things, the amount of our available
cash or other liquid assets; our ability to service and refinance our current and future indebtedness; restrictions imposed by our existing,
or any future, credit facilities or other debt instruments; and limitations on cash payments to stockholders under Delaware law, including
limitations that require dividend payments be made out of surplus or, subject to certain limitations, out of net profits for the then-current
or preceding year in the event there is no surplus.
We
may seek to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock given the increasing dividends to which such shares are entitled. We may not have sufficient
capital to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock if, and when, we seek to redeem the stock.
The
shares of Series B Preferred Stock have no maturity or mandatory redemption date. However, the dividend rate for such shares increases
over time and, as a result, we may seek to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock. By their terms, the Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed
by us at our option either in whole or in part at any time. Any decision we may make at any time regarding whether to redeem the Series
B Preferred Stock will depend upon a wide variety of factors, including our evaluation of our capital position, our capital requirements
and general market conditions at that time. However, investors should not assume that we will redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at
any particular time, or at all.
The
Series B Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of the Company’s indebtedness and other liabilities and are effectively junior to
all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.
In
the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, the Company’s assets will be available
to pay obligations on the Series B Preferred Stock only after all of the Company’s indebtedness and other liabilities have been
paid. The rights of holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of the Company’s assets will rank
junior to the prior claims of the Company’s current and future creditors and any future series or class of preferred stock the
Company may issue that ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock effectively ranks junior
to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of (as well as any preferred equity interests held by others in) the Company’s
existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. The Company’s existing subsidiaries are, and any future subsidiaries would be,
separate legal entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to the Company in respect of dividends due on the Series B Preferred
Stock. If the Company is forced to liquidate its assets to pay its creditors, the Company may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts
due on any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding. The Company and its subsidiaries have incurred and may in the future
incur substantial amounts of debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company may incur
additional indebtedness and become more highly leveraged in the future, which could harm the Company’s financial position and potentially
limit cash available to pay dividends. As a result, the Company may not have sufficient funds remaining to satisfy its dividend obligations
relating to the Series B Preferred Stock if the Company incurs additional indebtedness. If the Company decides to issue debt or senior
equity securities in the future, it is possible that these securities will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing
covenants restricting the Company’s operating flexibility.
41
Risks Related
to Regulatory Approval and Other Legal Compliance Matters
Our
business is significantly impacted by state and federal statutes and regulations.
Our
proprietary formulations are comprised of active pharmaceutical ingredients that are components of drugs that have received marketing
approval from the FDA, although our proprietary compounded formulations have not themselves received FDA approval. FDA approval is not
required in order to market and sell our compounded formulations. In the future, we may choose to pursue FDA approval to market and sell
certain potential drug candidates. The marketing and sale of compounded formulations is subject to and must comply with extensive state
and federal statutes and regulations governing compounding pharmacies. These statutes and regulations include, among other things, restrictions
on compounding for office use or in advance of receiving a patient-specific prescription or, for outsourcing facilities, requirements
regarding preparation, such as regular FDA inspections and cGMP requirements, prohibitions on compounding drugs that are essentially
copies of FDA-approved drugs, limitations on the volume of compounded formulations that may be sold across state lines, and prohibitions
on wholesaling or reselling. These and other restrictions on the activities of compounding pharmacies and outsourcing facilities may
significantly limit the market available for compounded formulations, compared to the market available for FDA-approved drugs.
Our
pharmacy business is impacted by federal and state laws and regulations governing the following: the purchase, distribution, management,
compounding, dispensing, reimbursement, marketing and labeling of prescription drugs and related services including: FDA and/or state
regulation affecting the pharmacy and pharmaceutical industries, including state pharmacy licensure and registration or permit standards;
rules and regulations issued pursuant to HIPAA and other state and federal laws related to the use, disclosure and transmission of health
information; and state and federal controlled substance laws. Our failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations could severely
limit or curtail our pharmacy operations, which would materially harm our business and prospects. Further, our business could be adversely
affected by changes in these or any newly enacted laws and regulations, and federal and state agency interpretations of the statutes
and regulations. Statutory or regulatory changes could require us to make changes to our business model and operations and/or could require
us to incur significantly increased costs to comply with such regulations.
On
July 30, 2020 and separately on March 24, 2021, the FDA issued public notices for comments related to certain bulk drug substances to
be removed from the 503B Bulk’s List (or Category 1 List). Included in these notices for comment were certain bulk drug substances
which we currently use in some of our compounded products. In the event one or more of these bulk substances are ultimately removed from
the Category 1 List, we intend to utilize commercially available versions of these substances or similar active pharmaceutical ingredients
as replacements of the bulk powders contained in our sterile products. In addition, nothing in the FDA’s notice affects the dispensing
of bulk powder-containing products from our 503A pharmacy. Nonetheless, if all or some of the bulk drug substances we use are removed
from the 503B Bulk’s List, this may result in a disruption in our operations, revenues and cash flows.
On
October 27, 2020, the FDA announced availability of a final Memorandum of Understanding, Addressing Certain Distributions of Compounded
Human Drug Products Between the State Board of Pharmacy or Other Appropriate State Agency and the Food and Drug Administration (the “MOU”).
The MOU describes the responsibilities of a state board of pharmacy, or other appropriate state agency that chooses to sign the MOU,
in investigating and responding to complaints related to drug products compounded in such state and distributed outside such state and
in addressing the interstate distribution of inordinate amounts of compounded human drug products. Additionally, as part of the MOU,
FDA refined the definition of “inordinate amount,” a threshold for certain information identification and sharing which does
not place a limit on the distribution of compounded human drug products interstate by a pharmacy located in a state that has entered
into the MOU. Section 503A of the FDCA sets a five percent limit on compounded drugs distributed outside the state by a pharmacist, pharmacy
or physician located in a state that has not entered into the MOU.
States
have 365 days to sign the MOU, before the FDA intends to enforce the five percent limit described in Section 503A of the FDCA in states
that have not signed the MOU. Our pharmacy is based in the state of New Jersey, and we believe the state board of pharmacy in New Jersey
will sign the MOU and as a result, our operations will not be materially affected by the MOU. In the event New Jersey does not sign the
MOU, our pharmacy that operates under Section 503A may be materially affected, and we will transition as many prescription orders as
possible to our outsourcing facility, which is not subject to the MOU.
