In
addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. From time to time, we may also provide
oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Such forward-looking statements are subject
to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements are not historical
facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and industry, and our beliefs
and assumptions, and include, but are not limited to, statements under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“expects,” “intend,” “plan,” “will” and variations of these words and similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to
risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual
results to differ materially (both favorably and unfavorably) from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.
These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors and elsewhere in
this report. Forward-looking statements that were believed to be true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or
false. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.

SWK HOLDINGS
CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE
UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1. SWK Holdings Corporation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature
of Operations
SWK
Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in July 1996 in California and reincorporated in Delaware in
September 1999. In July 2012, the Company commenced its strategy of building a specialty finance and asset management business.
In August 2019, the Company commenced a complementary strategy of building a pharmaceutical development, manufacturing and intellectual
property licensing business. The Company’s operations comprise two reportable segments: “Finance Receivables”
and “Pharmaceutical Development.” The Company allocates capital to each segment in order to generate income through
the sales of life science products by third parties. The Company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and as of June 30, 2020, the
Company had 33 employees.
The
Company has net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and believes that the ability to utilize these NOLs is an important
and substantial asset. However, at this time, under current law, the Company does not anticipate that the Finance Receivables
or Pharmaceutical Development segments will generate sufficient income to permit the Company to utilize all of its NOLs prior
to their respective expiration dates. As such, it is possible that the Company might pursue additional strategies that it believes
might result in the ability to utilize more of the NOLs.
As
of August 10, 2020, and since inception of the strategy, the Company and its partners have executed transactions with 36
different parties under its specialty finance strategy, funding an aggregate $540.1 million in various financial products across
the life science sector. The Company’s portfolio includes senior and subordinated debt backed by royalties and synthetic
royalties paid by companies in the life science sector, and purchased royalties generated by sales of life science products and
related intellectual property.
On
August 26, 2019, the Company commenced its Pharmaceutical Development segment with the acquisition of Enteris BioPharma, Inc.
(“Enteris”). SWK Products Holdings LLC (“SWK Products”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered
into a merger agreement pursuant to which Enteris became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWK Products.
Enteris
is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company offering innovative formulation solutions built around its proprietary oral drug
delivery technologies, the Peptelligence® platform. Since its founding in 2013, Enteris has advanced multiple internal and
external programs leveraging Peptelligence®, which enables the oral delivery of molecules that are typically injected, including
peptides and BCS Class II, III, and IV small molecules, in an enteric-coated tablet formulation. Peptelligence® utilizes a
unique multifaceted approach to increase the solubility and absorption of peptides and small molecules, addressing the complex
challenges regarding solubility and permeability of therapeutics with low oral bioavailability. Peptelligence® is protected
by an extensive patent estate that extends until 2036.
Basis of Presentation
and Principles of Consolidation
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the U.S. (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries and affiliates
in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date. Normally a controlling financial
interest reflects ownership of a majority of the voting interests. The Company consolidates a variable interest entity (“VIE”)
when it possesses both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and
the Company is either obligated to absorb the losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the Company holds the
right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, after elimination of intercompany accounts
and transactions.
The
Company owns interests in various partnerships and limited liability companies, or LLCs. The Company consolidates its investments
in these partnerships or LLCs, where the Company, as the general partner or managing member, exercises effective control, even
though the Company’s ownership may be less than 50 percent, the related governing agreements provide the Company with broad
powers, and the other parties do not participate in the management of the entities and do not effectively have the ability to
remove the Company. The Company has reviewed each of the underlying agreements to determine if it has effective control. If circumstances
change and it is determined this control does not exist, any such investment would be recorded using the equity method of accounting.
Although this would change individual line items within the Company’s consolidated financial statements, it would have no
effect on its operations and/or total stockholders’ equity attributable to the Company.
6
Unaudited
Interim Financial Information
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and reflect all normal, recurring adjustments
that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. The results of
operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter
or for the year ending December 31, 2020. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020.
Reclassification
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The amounts for prior periods have been reclassified
to be consistent with current year presentation and have no impact on previously reported total assets, total stockholders’ equity
or net (loss) income.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are required
in the determination of revenue recognition; stock-based compensation; valuation of accounts receivable; impairment of financing
receivables; long-lived assets; property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; goodwill; valuation of warrants; contingent
consideration; income taxes; and contingencies and litigation, among others. Some of these judgments can be subjective and
complex, and consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company’s estimates often are based on complex
judgments, probabilities and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but that are inherently uncertain and unpredictable.
For any given individual estimate or assumption made by the Company, there may also be other estimates or assumptions that are
reasonable.
The
Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical experience and other factors, including the economic
environment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, the Company’s estimates and assumptions
may prove to be incomplete or inaccurate, or unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that might cause changes to those
estimates and assumptions. Market conditions, such as illiquid credit markets, health crises such as the COVID-19 global pandemic,
volatile equity markets, and economic downturns, can increase the uncertainty already inherent in the Company’s estimates
and assumptions. The Company adjusts its estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances indicate the need for change.
Those changes generally will be reflected in our consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis unless they are required
to be treated retrospectively under the relevant accounting standard. It is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable
judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
Business
Combinations
We
account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets
and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to business combinations are included
prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within
selling, general and administrative expenses. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations , for further information regarding
our acquisition of Enteris.
Segment
Information
The
Company earns revenues from its two U.S.-based business segments: its specialty finance and asset management business offering
customized financing solutions to a broad range of life-sciences companies, and as of August 26, 2019, the Company’s business
offering oral therapeutic formulation solutions built around Enteris’ pharmaceutical Peptelligence® platform, which enables
the oral delivery of molecules that are typically injected, including peptides and BCS Class II, III, and IV small molecules in
an enteric-coated tablet formulation.
The
financial results of Enteris are included in the Pharmaceutical Development segment as of the acquisition date.
7
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s Pharmaceutical Development segment enters into collaboration and licensing agreements with strategic partners, under
which it may exclusively license rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize its product candidates to third parties.
The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to the Company of one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront
license fees; reimbursement of certain costs; customer option exercise fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone
payments; and royalties on net sales of licensed products.
Deferred
revenue includes amounts that have been billed per the contractual terms but have not been recognized as revenue. The Company
classifies as current the portion of deferred revenue that is expected to be recognized within one year from the balance sheet
date. Deferred revenue was $0.7 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is included
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses include the costs associated with internal research and development and research and development conducted
for the Company by third parties. These costs primarily consist of salaries, pre-clinical and clinical trials, outside consultants,
and supplies. All research and development costs discussed above are expensed as incurred. Third-party expenses reimbursed under
research and development contracts, which are not refundable, are recorded as a reduction to pharmaceutical manufacturing research
and development expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848),” which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease
the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04
provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria
are met. These transactions include: (i) contract modifications, (ii) hedging relationships, and (iii) sales or transfers of debt
securities classified as held-to-maturity. ASU 2020-04 is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may
elect to adopt the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes
or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March
12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply the amendments
in ASU 2020-04 to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020
and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020.
The one-time election to sell, transfer, or both sell and transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity may be made
at any time after March 12, 2020 but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company expects that it will elect to apply some of
the expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04; however, the Company is still evaluating the guidance, and therefore, the
impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations has not yet been determined.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The new standard
adds an impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, that is based on expected losses
rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses,
which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of losses. The ASU describes the impairment allowance as a valuation
account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount
expected to be collected on the financial asset. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be measured
in a manner similar to current GAAP; however, the amendments in this update require that credit losses be presented as an allowance
rather than as a write-down, which will allow an entity the ability to record reversals of credit losses in current period net
income. On November 15, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives
and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates,” which finalized various effective date delays for private
companies, not-for-profit organizations, and certain smaller reporting companies. Under ASU 2019-10, the effective date for implementation
of CECL for smaller reporting companies was extended to fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after
December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance but believes it is likely to incur more upfront losses
on its portfolio under the new CECL model.

Note 2. Net (Loss) Income
per Share
Basic
net (loss) income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net income
per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock, and when dilutive, shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of options and warrants deemed outstanding using the treasury stock method.
The
following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for the following periods (in thousands,

Note 3. Business Combinations
On
August 26, 2019, Enteris, a biotechnology company offering innovative formulation solutions utilizing its proprietary oral drug
delivery technology, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The total merger consideration was $34.6 million, which
included contingent consideration of $14.5 million, which was remeasured to $16.3 million as of June 30, 2020. The purchase price
was subject to certain adjustments with respect to cash, debt, working capital, transaction expenses and the value of the contingent
consideration agreement entered into, in connection with the transaction.
Prior
to the acquisition, Enteris entered into a non-exclusive commercial license agreement with Cara Therapeutics, Inc. (the
“License Agreement”), for oral formulation rights to Enteris’ Peptelligence® technology to develop and commercialize
Oral KORSUVA in any indication worldwide, excluding South Korea and Japan. Cara is obligated to pay Enteris certain development,
regulatory and tiered commercial milestone payments, as well as low single-digit royalties based on net sales in the licensed
territory.
The
acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the merger consideration was allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess
of the merger consideration over the estimated fair value of the net assets of Enteris was recorded as goodwill, which consists
largely of synergies and the acquisition of intangible assets. The resulting goodwill is not expected to be deductible for
tax purpose.
The
allocation of the merger consideration has been prepared on a preliminary basis and changes to the allocation to certain assets,
liabilities, including tax estimates and potential indemnities, may be revised as additional information becomes available. The
Company will finalize the acquisition accounting within the required measurement period of one year.

Goodwill
There
was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020, and net book value
remains at $8.4 million. The net book value of goodwill is solely related to the Enteris acquisition in 2019. As of June 30, 2020,
the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value,
and goodwill is not considered to be impaired.

Note 4. Finance
Receivables, Net
Finance
receivables are reported at their determined principal balances net of any unearned income, cumulative charge-offs and unamortized
deferred fees and costs. Unearned income and deferred fees and costs are amortized to interest income based on all cash flows
expected using the effective interest method.
As
of June 30, 2020, the Company had a credit loss allowance of $8.4 million. Of the total $8.4 million, $1.2 million and $0.6 million
are associated with the Company’s Cambia® and Besivance® royalties, respectively. The remaining $6.6 million is related
to the ABT Molecular Imaging, Inc. (“ABT”), now known as Best ABT, Inc. (“Best”), second lien term loan that
was recognized in order to reflect the Best royalty at its estimated fair value of $4.1 million. The carrying values of finance

As
of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had three finance receivables in nonaccrual status: (a) the term loan to B&D
Dental Corporation (“B&D”), with a net carrying value of $8.3 million, (b) the Best royalty, with a net carrying
value of $4.1 million and (c) the Tissue Regeneration Therapeutics, Inc. (“TRT”) royalty, with a net carrying value
of $3.5 million. Although in nonaccrual status, the B&D term loan and the TRT royalty were not considered impaired as of both
June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company collected an aggregate $0.1 million in cash on two of its nonaccrual royalties
during the six months ended June 30, 2020. (Please see B&D, Best and TRT below for further details regarding nonaccrual
and impaired finance receivables).
B&D
On
December 10, 2013, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement to provide B&D a senior secured term loan with a
principal amount of $6.0 million funded upon close, net of an arrangement fee of $60,000. The loan was scheduled to mature on
December 10, 2018. Subsequently, the terms of the loan have been amended, and the Company has funded additional amounts to B&D.
As of December 31, 2019, the total amount funded was $8.3 million. B&D is currently evaluating strategic options, including
a potential sale of the business.
B&D
is currently in default under the terms of the credit agreement, and as a result, the Company classified the loan to nonaccrual
status as of September 30, 2015. During 2016 and 2018, the Company executed three additional amendments to the loan to advance
an additional $0.7 million in order to directly pay critical vendors and protect the value of the collateral. The Company obtained
a third-party valuation of B&D as of December 31, 2019. As a result of the third-party valuation and facts and circumstances
regarding B&D’s operations, the Company believes its collateral position is greater than the unpaid balance; thus, accrued
interest has not been reversed nor has an allowance been recorded as of June 30, 2020.
12
Best
On
October 31, 2018, ABT announced that it entered into an asset purchase agreement with Best, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Best
Medical International, Inc. for aggregate consideration of (i) $500,000, paid over ten years in equal quarterly installments,
plus (ii) a ten percent royalty on ABT’s net sales, including any commercialized improvements made to ABT’s technology,
paid quarterly for the ten year period from closing pursuant to a royalty security agreement by and between Best and SWK Funding
LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SWK Funding”). SWK Funding will receive 100 percent of the consideration.
On November 8, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the asset sale transaction, and the Company has no further funding liabilities.
During the year
ended December 31, 2018, the Company re-evaluated its collateral position, considering the expected outcome of the Chapter 11
process, and as a result, the Company recognized an impairment expense of $5.3 million to write off the second lien term loan,
as well as provision for credit losses of $5.0 million to reflect the Best royalty at its estimated fair value of $5.7 million.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company re-evaluated the value of the Best royalty based on 2019 business trends, and as
a result, the Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $1.6 million to reflect the Best royalty at its estimated fair
value of $4.1 million.
TRT
On
June 13, 2013, the Company purchased royalties from TRT related to its technology licenses in the family cord banking services
sector for $2.0 million, and on October 20, 2014, funded an additional $1.25 million upon the achievement of royalty receipts-based
milestones. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, royalty payments from the primary U.S. licensee ended as a result of the
licensee terminating a technology license. The Company and TRT continue to evaluate options in regard to enforcing TRT’s
intellectual property rights against this licensee, as well as seeking additional U.S. licensees. TRT’s Canadian licensee
continues to pay royalties. The Company is in discussions with TRT to restructure the purchase agreement. Given uncertainties
regarding the outcome of the negotiations and the ultimate timing of cash flows related to the U.S. intellectual property, the
Company has placed the TRT royalty on non-accrual status, although the Company does not consider it impaired as of June 30, 2020.
The Company evaluated several factors in this determination, including input from intellectual property counsel regarding the
strength of the related intellectual property, continued receipt of Canadian licensee royalty payments and anticipated terms of
the restructured purchase agreement.

Equity Securities
As
of June 30, 2020, the Company’s equity securities include 96,810 shares of Misonix, Inc. (“Misonix”) common stock received
pursuant to Misonix’s purchase of Solsys Medical, Inc. (“Solsys”) on September 27, 2019. During the three months
ended September 30, 2019 and prior to the acquisition, the Company exercised its Solsys warrants in a cashless transaction to
purchase Solsys preferred stock and exercised its preemptive right to protect against dilution of its Solsys equity position.
Of the total 109,472 shares of Misonix common stock received for its Solsys equity interests, 12,662 shares are held in escrow
by Misonix, are subject to reduction based on terms of the acquisition agreement, and any shares remaining at the end of the escrow
period will be released within 15 to 18 months post closing of the acquisition. The 96,810 shares are subject to a one year lock-up
that expires on September 27, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the 96,810 shares of Misonix common stock are reflected at their estimated
fair value of $1.3 million.
Debt Securities
On
July 9, 2013, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to purchase, at par, $3.0 million of a total of $100.0 million
aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due in November 2026. The agreement allows the first interest payment
date to include paid-in-kind notes for any cash shortfall, of which the Company received $0.1 million on November 15, 2013. The
notes are secured only by certain royalty and milestone payments associated with the sales of pharmaceutical products. The senior
secured notes have been placed on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2016. Total cash collected during the six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $33,000 and $34,000, respectively, which was credited to the notes’ carrying value. During the
six months ended June 30, 2020, impairment expense of $0.2 million was recognized in order to reflect the notes at their estimated
fair value of $0.3 million. The notes are included in long-term marketable investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated
balance sheets.

Note 6. Revolving
Credit Facility
On
June 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with State Bank and Trust
Company as a lender and the administrative agent (“State Bank”) pursuant to which State Bank will provide the Company
with up to a $20 million revolving senior secured credit facility, which the Company can draw down and repay until maturity, subject
to borrowing base eligibility. The Loan Agreement matures on June 29, 2021.
The
Loan Agreement accrues interest at the Daily LIBOR Rate, with a floor of 1.00 percent, plus a 3.25 percent margin and principal
is repayable in full at maturity. Interest is generally required to be paid monthly in arrears. The Loan Agreement requires the
payment of an unused line fee of 0.50 percent, which will be recorded as interest expense. The Company paid $0.5 million in fees
at closing, which have been capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
term of the Loan Agreement.
The
Loan Agreement has an advance rate against the Company’s finance receivables portfolio, including 85 percent against senior
first lien loans, 70 percent against second lien loans and 50 percent against royalty receivables, subject to certain eligibility
requirements as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including
minimum asset coverage and minimum interest coverage ratios.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest
expense. On March 17, 2020, the Company drew $15.0 million on its revolving credit facility in order to support existing business
partners and to finance future investment opportunities. As of June 30, 2020, $6.4 million was outstanding under the revolving
credit facility, and $13.6 million was available for borrowing.
Note 7. Related
Party Transactions
On
September 6, 2013, in connection with entering into a credit facility, the Company issued warrants to an affiliate of a stockholder,
Carlson Capital, L.P. (the “Stockholder”), for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price
of $13.88 per share. The warrants have a price anti-dilution mechanism that was triggered by the price that shares were sold by
the Company in a rights offering in 2014, and as a result, the strike price of the warrants was reduced to $13.48 per share.
Due
to certain provisions within the warrant agreement, the warrants meet the definition of a derivative and do not qualify for a
scope exception, as it is not considered indexed to the Company’s stock. As such, the warrants are reflected as a warrant
liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded a nominal loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2020. The Company determined the fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

are only subject to being advanced as long as an event of default does not exist. As of August 11, 2020, the aggregate unfunded
commitment increased to $8.0 million due to the expiration of SWK Funding’s commitment to Aimmune and SWK Funding’s
amendment with eTon subsequent to quarter ended June 30, 2020 (please refer to Note 12, Subsequent Events for further
details on SWK Funding’s amendment with eTon).

Note 10.
Fair Value Measurements
The
Company measures and reports certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and
the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the
fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the
three hierarchy levels.
Level
1
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Active markets are considered to be those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency
and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level
2
Quoted
prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability. This category includes quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level
3
Unobservable
inputs are not corroborated by market data. This category is comprised of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities
whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using significant inputs that are generally
less readily observable from objective sources.
Transfers
into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were
no transfers between any levels during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The
following information is provided to help readers gain an understanding of the relationship between amounts reported in the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related market or fair value. The disclosures include financial
instruments and derivative financial instruments, other than investment in affiliates.
Following
are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the
valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values.
Marketable
Investments
Certain
common equity securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs (exchange quoted prices).
Finance
Receivables
The
fair values of finance receivables are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet
date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the finance receivables. Projected future cash flows are calculated
based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. These receivables are classified
as Level 3. Finance receivables are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but estimates of fair value are reflected
below.
Contingent
Consideration
The
Company recorded contingent consideration related to the August 2019 acquisition of Enteris and sharing of certain milestone and
royalties due to Enteris pursuant to the License Agreement. Please refer to Note 3, Business Combinations , for further
details on the Company’s acquisition of Enteris and contingent consideration.
The
fair value measurements of the contingent consideration obligations and the related intangible assets arising from business combinations
are classified as Level 3 estimates under the fair value hierarchy, as these items have been valued using unobservable inputs.
These inputs include: (a) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (b) the probability of the achievement of the
factors on which the contingency is based; and (c) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted
cash flows. Changes in fair value of this obligation are recorded as income or expense within operating income in our condensed
consolidated statements of operations. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in
a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
17
As
of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s contingent consideration was recorded at its estimated fair value of $16.3
million and $14.5 million, respectively.
Marketable
Investments and Derivative Securities
Marketable
Investments
If
active market prices are available, fair value measurement is based on quoted active market prices and, accordingly, these securities
would be classified as Level 1. If active market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based on observable inputs
other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as prices for similar assets or broker quotes utilizing observable inputs,
and accordingly these securities would be classified as Level 2. If market prices are not available and there are no observable
inputs, then fair value would be estimated by using valuation models including discounted cash flow methodologies, commonly used
option-pricing models and broker quotes. Such securities would be classified as Level 3, if the valuation models and broker quotes
are based on inputs that are unobservable in the market. If fair value is based on broker quotes, the Company checks the validity
of received prices based on comparison to prices of other similar assets and market data such as relevant bench mark indices.
Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, while securities with no readily available fair
market value are not, but estimates of fair value are reflected below.
Derivative
Securities
For
exchange-traded derivatives, fair value is based on quoted market prices, and accordingly, would be classified as Level 1. For
non-exchange traded derivatives, fair value is based on option pricing models and are classified as Level 3.

Note 11. Segment Information
Selected
financial and descriptive information is required to be provided about reportable operating segments, considering
a “management approach” concept as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management approach is based
on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions, allocating resources, and
assessing performance. Consequently, the segments are evident from the structure of the Company’s internal organization, focusing
on financial information that the Company’s chief operating decision-makers use to make decisions about the Company’s operating
matters.
As
described in Note 1, SWK Holdings Corporation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has determined
it has two reportable segments: Finance Receivables and Pharmaceutical Development, and each are individually managed and provide
separate services. Revenues by segment represent revenues earned on the services offered within each segment.
Segment
performance is evaluated based on several factors, including income (loss) from continuing operations before income. Management
uses this measure of profit (loss) to evaluate segment performance because the Company believes this measure is indicative of
performance trends and the overall earnings potential of each segment.
The
following tables present financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Note 12. Subsequent Events
eTon
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On
August 11, 2020, SWK Funding entered into an amendment to the credit agreement with eTon to increase the maximum principal amount
of the term loan to $15.0 million. SWK Funding funded $2.0 million at closing of the amendment, bringing the drawn balance to
$7.0 million. eTon may draw up to $8.0 million of the remaining commitment upon eTon receiving certain FDA product approval milestones.
The amendment provides for a reduction in the interest rate between 0.75 percent to 2.25 percent, dependent upon eTon achieving
certain FDA product approval milestones and financial performance metrics. In connection with the amendment, SWK Funding also
received a warrant to purchase shares of eTon common stock.
BIOLASE,
Inc.
On
August 12, 2020, SWK Funding entered into an amendment to the credit agreement with BIOLASE, Inc. (“BIOLASE”) to extend
the interest only period by one year, extend the maturity date by six months and reset liquidity and financial performance covenants.
The amendment also requires BIOLASE to make a principal payment in the amount of $0.7 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement
to, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial statements, and the MD&A included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”), as well as our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this report.
COVID-19
Considerations
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and the disease has since spread across the
world, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.
We
are subject to risks related to public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with COVID-19. In the last two weeks
in March 2020 and through the date of this filing, our Pharmaceutical Development segment has seen a reduction in its productivity
as well as delays in receiving some of its needed supplies as a direct result of the pandemic and the impact on key vendors. This
slow-down is likely to continue in the near term until such time as certain restrictions that have been imposed on us and our
suppliers are lifted. Such events may result in business disruption and reduced revenues, any of which could materially affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In
late-March 2020, the governor of New Jersey, where the manufacturing facility of our Pharmaceutical Development segment is located,
issued “shelter-in-place” or “stay at home” orders restricting non-essential activities, travel and business
operations for an indefinite period of time, subject to certain exceptions for necessary activities. Such orders or restrictions
have resulted in our Pharmaceutical Development segment significantly reducing activities at its manufacturing facility, thereby
negatively impacting our operations. Starting in July 2020, the governor of New Jersey began a phased re-opening of the state’s
economy, though much non-essential activities remain limited, which continues to impact operations. Other disruptions or potential
disruptions include restrictions on our personnel and personnel of our customers and suppliers to travel and access customers;
delays in product development efforts; and additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts that may
further impact our business.
While
the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread
pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets and a recession or
market correction that could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. We are continuously monitoring
our own operations and intend to take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks arising from the COVID-19 pandemic to the best
of our abilities, but there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. To the extent we are able to obtain information
about and maintain communications with our customers, suppliers, vendors and other business partners, we will seek to minimize
disruptions to our Pharmaceutical Development segment’s supply chain. We are continuously monitoring the potential impact
of COVID-19 on the liquidity of our business partners and remain in regular contact with the individual management teams across
the portfolio of our Finance Receivables segment. We have and will continue to amend certain performance covenants under some
of our credit agreements and will continue to consider advancing additional capital or allow some interest payments to be paid
in-kind for specified periods in order to support our business partners. The value of the marketable securities that we hold might
also be negatively impacted as a result of COVID-19. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on us is highly
uncertain and will depend on future developments which cannot be predicted.
Please
refer to Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors , for additional information on risk factors related to the pandemic or other risks
that could impact our business and results of operations.
Overview
We
have organized our operations into two segments: Finance Receivables and Pharmaceutical Development. These segments reflect the
way the Company evaluates it business performance and manages its operations. Please refer to Part I, Item I, F inancial Statements ,
Note 11 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding segment information.
Finance
Receivables Segment
In
our Finance Receivables segment, we evaluate and invest in a broad range of healthcare related companies and products with innovative
intellectual property, including the biotechnology, medical device, medical diagnostics and related tools, animal health and pharmaceutical
industries (together “life science”) by tailoring financial solutions to the needs of our business partners.
Our
investment objective is to maximize our portfolio total return and thus increase our net income and book value by generating income
from three sources: (1) primarily owning or financing through debt investments, royalties or revenue interests generated
by the sales of life science products and related intellectual property, (2) receiving interest and other income by advancing
capital in the form of secured debt to companies in the life science sector, and (3) to a lesser extent, realizing capital appreciation
from equity-related investments in the life science sector.
22
We
primarily provide capital in exchange for an interest in an existing revenue stream, which can take several forms, but is most
commonly either a royalty derived from the sales of a life science product from the marketing efforts of a third party or from
the marketing efforts of a partner company. Our structured debt investments may include warrants or other features, giving us
the potential to realize enhanced returns on a portion of our portfolio.
Pharmaceutical
Development Segment
On
August 26, 2019, we commenced our Pharmaceutical Development segment with the acquisition of Enteris. SWK Products, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SWK, entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which Enteris became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SWK. Enteris
is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company offering innovative formulation solutions built around its proprietary oral drug
delivery technologies, the Peptelligence® platform. Since its founding in 2013, Enteris has advanced multiple internal and
external programs leveraging Peptelligence®, which enables the oral delivery of molecules that are typically injected, including
peptides and BCS Class II, III, and IV small molecules, in an enteric-coated tablet formulation.
Our
strategy is to utilize the Peptelligence® platform to create a wholly-owned portfolio of milestone and royalty income, and
thus increase our net income and book value, by out-licensing our technology in two ways. First, we intend to out-license our
technology to pharmaceutical companies to create novel and important oral therapeutic treatments for a wide variety of indications.
Second, we intend to out-license to pharmaceutical companies our internally developed reformulations of approved, off-patent injectable
therapeutic treatments where Peptelligence® enables oral delivery, resulting in meaningful improvements for patients and caregivers.
We also generate income by providing customers pharmaceutical development, formulation and manufacturing with the ultimate goal
of generating new out-license agreements of our technology.

paid the interest payment due in July 2020, and we are currently working with DxTerity to remedy the default.
(10)
We executed an amendment on August
11, 2020 to increase the maximum principal amount of the term loan to $15,000. eTon may draw up to $8,000 upon reaching certain
milestones outlined in the amendment. The amendment allows provides for a decrease in the interest rate to between 0.75 and
2.25 percent, also dependent upon eTon achieving certain milestones outlined in the amendment. We funded $2,000 at closing.
(11)
In
accordance with credit agreement, $608 was funded on April 1, 2020.
(12)
We
executed an amendment on March 27, 2020, which extended the maturity date to November
2022.
Unless
otherwise specified, our senior secured debt assets generally are repaid by a revenue interest that is charged on a company’s
quarterly net sales and royalties.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,
filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. We believe there have been no new critical accounting policies or material changes to our
existing critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to those discussed in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Revenues
We
generated revenues of $7.9 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which
consisted primarily of interest and fees earned on our finance receivables. The $2.2 million increase primarily consists of a
$1.8 million net increase in royalty income and a $1.6 million increase in fees and interest earned on our finance receivables
due to funding new and existing loans. The increase in revenue was offset by a $1.3 million decrease in interest and fees earned
on finance receivables that were paid off or paid down since the second quarter of 2019.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense consists of interest on amounts borrowed, unused line of credit and maintenance fees, as well as amortization of debt
issuance costs on our revolving line of credit. Interest expense was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. On March 17, 2020, we drew $15.0 million on our revolving credit facility in order to support
existing business partners and to finance future investment opportunities, which accounts for the $0.1 million increase in interest
expense.
Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing, Research and Development Expense
Pharmaceutical
manufacturing, research and development expense totaling $1.0 million was incurred by our Pharmaceutical Development segment,
which was acquired in the third quarter of 2019.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization increased by $3.4 million due to the increase in fixed and intangible assets that were obtained in the acquisition
of Enteris, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2019.
26
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, stock-based compensation and related costs for management, staff,
Board of Directors, legal and audit expenses, and corporate governance. General and administrative expenses increased to $2.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was due
to a $0.8 million increase in salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense; a $0.2 million increase in general office,
insurance and rent expense; and a $0.3 million increase in accounting, audit, legal and other professional fees. The increase
in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to the addition of Enteris, which was acquired in the third quarter
of 2019.
Other
Income, Net
Change
in Fair Value of Warrants and Marketable Investments
Other
income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflected a net fair market value gain of $0.6 million on our warrant
derivatives and a net fair market value gain of $0.4 million on our Misonix common stock.
Other
income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 reflected a net fair market value gain of $0.7 million on our warrant derivatives.
Change
in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
The
change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.8 million. The contingent
consideration is the earnout related to the August 26, 2019 acquisition of Enteris and sharing of certain milestone and royalties
due to Enteris pursuant to the License Agreement (please refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements , Note 3 of the notes
to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on contingent consideration and the acquisition
of Enteris). The contingent consideration was remeasured to fair value as of June 30, 2020. The carrying amount of the liability
may fluctuate significantly, and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the estimated value of the liability.
Income
Tax Expense (Benefit) Expense
During
the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1.0 million when compared to $0.7
million income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which represented effective tax rates of negative 7.38
percent and 14.0 percent, respectively. The provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods is calculated
by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to ordinary income or loss for the interim reporting
period. The annual effective tax rate is adjusted for nondeductible expenses and other permanent differences, including changes
in fair value in our acquisition-related contingent consideration, warrant derivatives and equity securities, which resulted
in a $1.7 million decrease in income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared
to the same period of the prior year.

Revenues
We
generated revenues of $15.2 million and $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The
increase in revenue was primarily the result of a $2.2 million net increase in royalty income, a $1.9 million net increase in
fees and interest earned on our finance receivables due to funding on new and existing loans, and a $0.3 million increase from
our pharmaceutical development segment. The increase in revenue was offset by a $4.2 million decrease in interest and fees earned
on finance receivables that were paid off or paid down since the second quarter of 2019.
27
Provision
for Credit Losses and Impairment Expense
We
recognized impairment expense of $0.2 million on our debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Please refer to
Part I, Item I, Financial Statements , Note 5 of the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
for further information regarding the provision for credit loss recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized credit loss provision expense of $0.6 million related to the Besivance®
royalty, which was due to increases in sales chargebacks and various rebates (gross sales to net sales deductions) and lower sales
volumes .
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense includes interest on amounts borrowed, unused line of credit and maintenance fees, as well as amortization of debt issuance
costs on our revolving line of credit. Interest expense was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. On March 17, 2020, we drew $15.0 million on our revolving credit facility in order to support existing
business partners and to finance future investment opportunities, which accounts for the $0.1 million increase in interest expense.
Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing, Research and Development Expense
Pharmaceutical
manufacturing, research and development expense totaling $2.2 million was incurred by our Pharmaceutical Development segment,
which was acquired in the third quarter of 2019.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization increased by $6.9 million due to the increase in fixed and intangible assets that were obtained in the acquisition
of Enteris, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2019.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, stock-based compensation and related costs for management, staff,
Board of Directors, legal and audit expenses, and corporate governance. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was due to a $1.5
million increase in salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense; a $0.7 million increase in general office, insurance
and rent expense; an $0.8 million increase in accounting, audit, legal and other professional fees; and a $0.1 million increase
in business development expense. The increase in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to the addition of Enteris,
which was acquired in the third quarter of 2019, along with our recent uplisting to the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Other
Income (Expense), Net
Change
in Fair Value of Warrants and Marketable Investments
Other
income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflected a net fair market value loss of $1.2 million on our warrant
derivatives and a net fair market value loss of $0.5 million on our Misonix common stock. We believe that the net fair market
value losses in our warrant derivative and common stock holdings is primarily attributable to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic
has had on global markets.
Other
income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflected a $1.0 million net fair market value gain on our warrant derivatives.
Change
in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
The
change in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.8 million. The contingent
consideration is the earnout related to the August 26, 2019 acquisition of Enteris and sharing of certain milestone and royalties
due to Enteris pursuant to the License Agreement (please refer to Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements , Note 3 of the notes
to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on contingent consideration and the acquisition
of Enteris). The contingent consideration was remeasured to fair value as of June 30, 2020. The carrying amount of the liability
may fluctuate significantly, and actual amounts paid may be materially different from the estimated value of the liability.
Income
Tax Provision
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized income tax expense of $0.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
The $1.5 million decrease in income tax expense is primarily the result of our pre-tax loss position for the six months ended
June 30, 2020 compared to our pre-tax loss income position for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
28
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2020, we had $17.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $11.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as
of December 31, 2019. The primary driver of the increase in our cash balance was the result of a $15.0 million draw on our credit
facility and receipt of $15.6 million of interest, principal, and royalty payments received on our finance receivables. The increase
was offset by $8.0 million of interest and principal payments made on our credit facility; $6.0 million of investment funding,
net of deferred fees and origination expenses; $3.8 million of salaries, employee benefits and accounts payable; and $1.1 million
to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market.
Our
ability to generate cash in the future depends primarily upon our success in implementing our Finance Receivable segment business
model of generating income by providing capital to a broad range of life science companies, institutions and inventors, as well
as the success of our Pharmaceutical Development segment. We generate income primarily from four sources:
1.
Primarily owning or financing through debt
investments, royalties generated by the sales of life science products and related intellectual property;
2.
Receiving interest and other income by
advancing capital in the form of secured debt to companies in the life science sector;
3.
Pharmaceutical development, manufacturing,
and licensing activities utilizing the Peptelligence® platform; and
4.
To a lesser extent, realizing capital appreciation
from equity-related investments in the life science sector.
As
of June 30, 2020, our finance receivables portfolio contains $178.4 million of finance receivables and $1.6 million of
marketable investments. We expect these assets to generate positive cash flows in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has created
substantial uncertainty in the global markets and economy; therefore, we will continue to monitor the short and long-term impact
this may have on our finance receivables portfolio. In addition, the majority of our finance receivables portfolio are debt instruments
that carry floating interest rates with a LIBOR-based interest rate floor. Changes in interest rates, including LIBOR rates, may
affect the interest income for debt instruments with floating rates. We believe we are well positioned to benefit should market
interest rates rise in the future.
We
continue to evaluate multiple attractive opportunities that, if consummated, we believe would similarly generate additional income.
Since the timing of any investment is difficult to predict, our finance receivables segment may not be able to generate positive
cash flow above what our existing assets are expected to produce in 2020. We do not assume any near-term repayments from borrowers,
and as a result, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the statement above.
As
of June 30, 2020, our Pharmaceutical Development segment did not have a material impact on our overall ability to generate
positive cash flow. We expect the Pharmaceutical Development segment to generate positive cash flow above its expenses from
proceeds received under its license agreements and customer relationships; however, the timing of the receipt of payments under
the license agreements is uncertain and dependent upon the success of our technology licensees’ pharmaceutical development
candidates. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in disruption and delays to pharmaceutical clinical trials in general and
may impact the expected timing of our technology licensees’ ability to achieve milestones upon which we receive income pursuant
to our license agreements.
Though
we expect in the aggregate that the Company will generate positive cash flow in excess of our expenses, given the abrupt decline
in global economic activity, and the uncertain recovery from such decline, caused by COVID-19, we cannot predict with this with
certainty.
We
entered into a $20.0 million revolving credit facility in June 2018. On March 17, 2020, the Company drew $15.0 million
on our revolving credit facility in order to support existing business partners and to finance future investment opportunities.
As of August 10, 2020, $4.9 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $15.1 million was available for borrowing.
Off Balance
Sheet Arrangements
In
the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded
in our consolidated financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and
liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage partner companies’ requests for funding and take the form
of loan commitments and lines of credit.
The
contractual amounts of commitments to extend credit represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the contract be
fully drawn upon, the partner company defaults, and the value of any existing collateral becomes worthless. We use the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Please refer to Part I,
Item I, Financial Statements , Note 8 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
29
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents were deposited in accounts at well capitalized financial institutions.
The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 approximated its carrying value.
Investment
and Interest Rate Risk
We
are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of
our current and future earnings to interest rate volatility, variability of spread relationships, the difference in re-pricing
intervals between our assets and liabilities and the effect that interest rates may have on our cash flow.
As
we seek to provide capital to a broad range of life science companies, institutions and investors with the majority of our finance
receivables portfolio paying interest based on floating interest rates with a LIBOR floor, our net investment income is dependent,
in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we earn on our cash and cash equivalents and the rate at which we lend
those funds to third parties. As a result, we are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. We may use interest
rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by providing capital at variable
interest rates. We do not currently engage in any interest rate hedging activities. We constantly monitor our portfolio and position
our portfolio to respond appropriately to a reduction in credit rating of any of our investments.
During
2018, we entered into a revolving credit facility. As we borrow funds to make additional investments, our income will depend,
in part, upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest those funds. As a result,
we are subject to risks relating to changes in market interest rates. In periods of rising interest rates when we have debt outstanding,
our cost of funds would increase, which could reduce our income, especially to the extent we continue to hold fixed rate investments.
We generally seek to mitigate this risk by pricing our debt investments with floating interest rates to maintain the spread of
our portfolio over the cost of leverage. If deemed prudent, we may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to
minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, which we have not done. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest
rates or hedging transactions could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect
on our investment income, net of borrowing expenses.
The interest
rates of many of our term loans to partner companies are priced using a spread over LIBOR.
LIBOR,
the London interbank offered rate, is the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks on the London interbank market
and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. We typically use LIBOR as a reference rate
in term loans we extend to partner companies such that the interest due to us pursuant to a term loan extended to a partner company
is calculated using LIBOR. Most of our term loan agreements with partner companies contain a stated minimum value for LIBOR. As
of December 31, 2019, 100 percent of the term loans with our partner companies utilized LIBOR, including a stated minimum of LIBOR,
as a reference rate.
On
July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase
out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear if at that time whether or not LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating
LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative
Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, is considering replacing U.S.
dollar LIBOR with a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities, known as the Secured
Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”). SOFR is observed and backward looking, which stands in contrast with LIBOR under
the current methodology, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting
panel members. Given that SOFR is a secured rate backed by government securities, it will be a rate that does not take into account
bank credit risk (as is the case with LIBOR). SOFR is therefore likely to be lower than LIBOR and is less likely to correlate
with the funding costs of financial institutions. Whether or not SOFR attains market traction as a LIBOR replacement tool remains
in question. As such, the future of LIBOR at this time is uncertain. If LIBOR ceases to exist, we may need to renegotiate the
credit agreements with our partner companies that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the interest rate to replace LIBOR
with the new standard that is established. Our term loans typically contain provisions to facilitate the transition to such new
standard. If affected credit agreements with our partner companies are unable to be renegotiated, our investments may bear interest
at a lower rate, subject to any contractual minimum LIBOR floors, which would decrease investment income and potentially the value
of such investments. In addition, any further changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of LIBOR may result in a
sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the market value for or value
of any LIBOR-linked loans and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by or due to us and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the uncertainty of the replacement for LIBOR,
the potential effect of any such event on our cost of capital and investment income cannot yet be determined.
30
Inflation
We
do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our revenues or operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In
connection with the preparation of this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of
the period covered by this report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other
than accounting integration of the Enteris acquisition, there have been no changes during the six months ended June 30, 2020 in
our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
31
PART II. OTHER
INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We
are involved in, or have been involved in, arbitrations or various other legal proceedings that arise from the normal course of
our business. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and other proceedings. The ultimate outcome of any litigation
is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on our results of operations,
balance sheets and cash flows due to defense costs, and divert management resources. Currently, we are not involved in any arbitration
and/or other legal proceeding that we expect to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS
Information
regarding the Company’s risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020. Below are material changes from the risk factors
previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
Risks
Related to Pharmaceutical Development Segment
The COVID-19
pandemic is highly dynamic in the United States and throughout the world and may adversely affect our operations and financial
condition.
We
are subject to risks related to the public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with COVID-19. Economic and health
conditions in the United States and across most of the globe continue to change rapidly. The COVID-19 outbreak may disrupt our
operations through its impact on our employees, our partner companies and their businesses, and certain industries in which our
partner companies operate. In the last two weeks in March and through the date of this filing, our Pharmaceutical Development
segment has seen a reduction in its productivity as well as delays in receiving some of its needed supplies as a direct result
of the pandemic and the impact on key vendors. This slow-down is likely to continue in the near term until such time as certain
restrictions that have been imposed on us and our suppliers are lifted. Such events may result in business disruption and reduced
revenues, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Numerous
state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines,
executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Starting
in late-March 2020, the governor of New Jersey, where the manufacturing facility of our Pharmaceutical Development segment is
located, issued “shelter-in-place” or “stay at home” orders restricting non-essential activities, travel
and business operations for an indefinite period of time, subject to certain exceptions for necessary activities. Starting in
July 2020, the governor of New Jersey began a phased re-opening of the state’s economy, though much non-essential activities
remain limited, which continues to impact operations. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in our Pharmaceutical Development
segment significantly reducing activities at its manufacturing facility, thereby negatively impacting our operations. Other disruptions
or potential disruptions include restrictions on our personnel and personnel of our customers and suppliers to travel and access
customers; delays in product development efforts; and additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts
that may further impact our business.
While
the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread
pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets and a recession or
market correction that could materially affect our business, including the ability of our borrowers or the marketers of products
upon which we derive our royalty income to raise capital in order to fund their operations during the pandemic, and the value
of our common stock.
The
COVID-19 outbreak may disrupt our operations through its impact on our employees, our portfolio companies and their businesses,
and certain industries in which our portfolio companies operate. Disruptions to our portfolio companies may impair their ability
to fulfill their obligations to us and could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, declining collateral values
associated with our existing loans, and impairments or losses on our loans.
We
are continuously monitoring our own operations and intend to take appropriate actions to mitigate the risks arising from the COVID-19
pandemic, but there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. To the extent we are able to obtain information
about and maintain communications with our customers, suppliers, vendors and other business partners, we will seek to minimize
disruptions to our Pharmaceutical Development segment’s supply chain. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on us is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments which cannot be predicted.
Risks
Related to Finance Receivables Segment
Currently,
we have a limited number of assets, which subjects our aggregate returns, and the value of our common stock, to a greater risk
of significant loss if any of our debt or equity securities declines in value or if any of our royalty investments substantially
underperforms our expectations.
32
Our
total investment in companies may be significant individually or in the aggregate. A consequence of our currently limited number
of assets in our Finance Receivables segment is that the aggregate returns we realize may be significantly adversely affected
if one or more of our significant partner company investments perform poorly or if we need to write down the value of any one
significant investment, which may be more severe than if we had made smaller investments in more companies. Our financial
results could be materially adversely affected if these portfolio companies or any of our other significant portfolio companies
encounter financial difficulty and fail to repay their obligations or to perform as expected.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Structure
We are
dependent upon our key management personnel for our future success.
We
depend on the diligence, skill and network of business contacts of our senior management and their access to the investment professionals
and the information and deal flow generated by these investment professionals in the course of their investment and portfolio
management activities. Our senior management team evaluates, negotiates, structures, closes, monitors and services our investments.
Our success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of this senior management team, in particular, Winston L.
Black, Chief Executive Officer. His departure could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives.
In addition, we have very few employees, so the loss of any employee could be disruptive to our business. In addition, if members
of our key management team were to be affected by COVID-19, this could significantly impair our ability to execute our business.
We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees, including enhancing our standard operating procedures
at Enteris to provide for additional cleaning and hygiene measures, as well as, social distancing. However, no assurance can be
given that the steps being taken will be adequate or deemed to be appropriate, nor can we predict the level of disruption
which will occur to our employees’ ability to service the finance receivables portfolio or Enteris’ customers.
33
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On
December 21, 2018, the Board authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to
