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 Companys 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, 2021, the
Company had 35 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
and/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 11, 2021, the Company and its partners have executed transactions with 42 different parties under its specialty
finance strategy, funding an aggregate $600.0 million in various financial products across the life science sector. The Companys
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). 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
Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States (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 Companys 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 Companys consolidated financial statements, it would have no
effect on its operations and/or total stockholders equity attributable to the Company.
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, 2021. 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 Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

Table of Contents
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the Companys 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 finance
receivables; long-lived assets; property and equipment; intangible assets; goodwill; valuation of warrants and other investments;
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 Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys 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.
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 its 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.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Companys 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 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 consolidated statements of income.

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 Companys financial condition and results of operations has not yet been determined.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This 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 this 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. This 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 Income (Loss) per Share
Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted net income
(loss) 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 income (loss) per share for the following periods (in thousands,
except per share amounts):

3. 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, 2021 and December 31, 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 Companys 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 $ 3.6 million.

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 provides the Company
with up to a $20.0 million revolving senior secured credit facility, which the Company can draw down and repay until maturity,
subject to borrowing base eligibility.
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 is 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 Companys 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest expense.
As of June 30, 2021, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, and $ 20.0 million was available for borrowing.
The Loan Agreement was amended on June 29, 2021 to extend the maturity date to September 27, 2021. Subsequent to quarter ended
June 30, 2021, the Company paid a $ 16,750 amendment fee, which will be capitalized as a deferred financing cost that will be amortized
on a straight line basis over the remaining term of the Loan Agreement. The Company continues to explore other options with respect
to a new credit facility.

7. Commitments and Contingencies
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. Contingent
consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved, with changes in the estimated fair
value recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of contingent consideration was $ 10.7 million
and $ 16.9 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $10.0 million of revenue related to
the completion of a milestone under the License Agreement with Cara. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid $6.1
million of such amount to the seller of Enteris, pursuant to the earnout provisions of the merger agreement. The Company also recognized
a $0.1 million change in the estimated fair value of its contingent consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Unfunded
Commitments
As
of June 30, 2021, the Companys unfunded commitments were as follows (in millions):
Schedule of Unfunded Commitments

Unfunded
commitments are contingent upon reaching an established revenue threshold or other performance metrics on or before a specified
date or period of time per the terms of the royalty purchase or credit agreements, and in the case of loan transactions, are only
subject to being advanced as long as an event of default does not exist.

8. 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 instruments 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, 2021.
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.
The
fair value measurements of contingent consideration obligations 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. Significant increases or decreases
in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
12
Table of Contents
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.

10. 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 Companys internal organization, focusing on financial information that
the Companys chief executive officer uses to make decisions about the Companys operating matters.
As
described in Note 1, 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 income (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 Companys reportable segments for the periods indicated (in thousands):

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Managements
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, 2020 (Annual Report), as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this report.
COVID-19
Considerations
We
are subject to risks related to public health crises such as the global pandemic associated with COVID-19. 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.
Please
refer to Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, as well as the Risk Factors in our Annual Report, 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 Item 1. Financial Statements, Note
10 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.
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, which became our wholly-owned
subsidiary. 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 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.

Revenues
We
generated revenues of $22.3 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively,
which consisted of a $4.1 million increase in interest and fees earned on our finance receivables and a $10.3 million increase
in revenues from our Pharmaceutical Development segment. The increase in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue included $10.0
million of milestone revenue related to Enteris license agreement with Cara. The $4.1 million increase in revenue attributable
to our Finance Receivables segment primarily consists of a $2.9 million net increase in royalty income and a $1.8 million net
increase in fees and interest earned on our finance receivables due to funding new and existing loans. The increase in revenue
was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in interest and fees earned on finance receivables that were paid off or paid
down since the second quarter of 2020.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense consists of interest accrued on our revolving line of credit, unused line of credit and maintenance fees, as well as amortization
of debt issuance costs. Interest expense for both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1 million $0.2 million,
respectively.
Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing, Research and Development Expense
Pharmaceutical
manufacturing, research and development expense increased from $1.0 million for the three months ended 2020 to $1.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $0.5 million increase was primarily due to an increase in manufacturing materials
for pipeline projects and clinical trials.
Depreciation
and Amortization
The
$2.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consists
of a decrease in amortization expense related to the intangible assets of Enteris. Amortization expense is aligned with the expected
future cash flows of the intangible assets.
21
Table of Contents
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 $3.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.6 million for the three months ended 2020, which was due to a $0.3 million
increase in professional fees, a $0.1 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, and a $0.2 increase in overall office
and rent expense.
Other
Income, Net
Other
income, net for three months ended June 30, 2021 reflected a net fair market value gain of $0.6 million on our warrant derivatives
and a net fair market value gain of $0.3 million on our Misonix common stock. 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.
Income
Tax Expense (Benefit)
During
the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized income tax expense of $3.5 million and income tax benefit of $1.0 million,
respectively. The $4.5 million increase in income tax expense is a result of higher taxable income for the three months ended
June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period of the prior year.

for six months ended June 30, 2021. The $0.9 million increase was primarily due to an increase in manufacturing materials
for pipeline projects and clinical trials.
Depreciation
and Amortization
The
$4.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consists
of a decrease in amortization expense related to the intangible assets of Enteris. Amortization expense is aligned with the expected
future cash flows of the intangible assets.
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 $6.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was due to a $0.2
million increase in salaries and benefits expense, a $0.2 million increase in professional fees, and a $0.2 million increase in
board fees and overall office and rent expenses.

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.
Income
Tax Expense
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized income tax expense of $4.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
The $4.2 million increase in income tax expense is a result of higher taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared
to the same period of the prior year.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2021, we had $6.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of
December 31, 2020. The primary driver of the $3.6 million increase in our cash balance was $41.8 million of interest, fees,
principal and royalty payments received on our finance receivables and a net $3.9 million of payments generated by our
Pharmaceutical Development License Agreement with Cara ($10.0 million received from Cara less $6.1 million paid to the seller of Enteris, pursuant to the provisions of the merger agreement). The increase was partially offset by $19.5 million of investment funding,
net of deferred fees and origination expenses; $11.3 million of payments of accounts payable, payroll and benefits expense,
including $1.1 million for Enteris internal pipeline projects; and $11.8 million of net borrowings and repayments on our
credit facility.
Our
ability to generate cash in the future depends primarily upon our success in implementing our Finance Receivables 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, 2021, our finance receivables portfolio contains $203.0 million of finance receivables, $2.6 million of marketable
investments, and $3.5 million related to our investment in Tissue Regeneration Therapeutics, Inc. In the aggregate, we expect
these assets to generate positive cash flows in 2021. 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
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 this with certainty.
We
entered into a $20.0 million revolving credit facility in June 2018. As of June 30, 2021, no amount was outstanding under the
revolving credit facility, and $20.0 million was available for borrowing. The credit facility was amended on June 29, 2021 to
extend the maturity date to September 27, 2021. We continue to explore other options with respect to a new credit facility.

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 Item 1.
Financial Statements, Note 7 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2021, 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, 2021 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.
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
There
have been no changes during the six months ended June 30, 2021 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.

Our
board of directors has formed a strategic review committee to explore strategic alternatives.
On
May 17, 2021, we issued a press release announcing the formation by of our board of directors of a strategic review committee
to identify, review and explore strategic alternatives with a view to enhancing stockholder value. We also announced the withdrawal
of the previously-announced proposal submitted by funds affiliated with Carlson Capital, L.P. to acquire our loan and royalty
assets.
Our
board of directors has not made any decision to enter into any transaction at this time, and there can be no assurance that the
exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction being announced or agreed upon. We have not set a timetable
for the exploration of strategic alternatives, and we do not intend to comment on the strategic process any further until our
board of directors and the strategic committee have approved a specific transaction or as we otherwise determine to be appropriate
