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 September 30, 2022, the Company had 33 full-time 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 November 1, 2022, the Company and its partners have executed transactions with 48 different parties under its specialty finance strategy, funding an aggregate of $691.0 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. During 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. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s 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 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. 5 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, 2022. 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, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. 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 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 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. 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 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 and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. 6 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 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures,” which updates the requirements for accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification 326, eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors, and enhances creditors’ disclosure requirements related to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The ASU also amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of gross write-offs by year of origination. The amendments are effective in periods beginning after December 15, 2022 using either a prospective or modified retrospective transition. Early adoption of certain or all of the amendments is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of the amendments and the impact on its future consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This ASU 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. In March 2020, the FASB issued 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 was effective upon issuance, and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Company has identified existing loans that reference LIBOR and is in the process of evaluating alternatives in each situation. The Company expects that it will elect to apply some of the expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04 and does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 7 Note 2. Net Income per Share Basic net 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 income per share for the following periods (in thousands, except per share amounts): Schedule of Basic and Diluted Earning per Share Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 6,616 $ 2,243 $ 10,659 $ 19,602 Denominator: Weighted-average shares outstanding 12,832 12,798 12,832 12,796 Effect of dilutive securities 19 61 39 38 Weighted-average diluted shares 12,851 12,859 12,871 12,834 Basic net income per share $ 0.52 $ 0.18 $ 0.83 $ 1.53 Diluted net income per share $ 0.51 $ 0.17 $ 0.83 $ 1.53 For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and outstanding shares of restricted stock in an aggregate of approximately 186,000 and 367,000 , respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as such securities were anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and outstanding shares of restricted stock in an aggregate of approximately 268,000 and 390,000 , respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as all such securities were anti-dilutive. 8 Note 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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., 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 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 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.

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 executive officer uses to make decisions about the Company’s 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. The Company does not report assets by reportable segment, nor does the Company report results by geographic region, as these metrics are not used by the Company’s chief executive officer in assessing performance or allocating resources to the segments. Segment performance is evaluated based on several factors, including income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. Management uses this measure of net 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 Company’s reportable segments for the periods indicated (in thousands): Schedule of Reportable Segments Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 Finance Receivables Pharmaceutical Development and Other Holding Company and Other Consolidated Revenue $ 8,502 $ 5,111 $ — $ 13,613 Other revenue — — 1 1 Interest expense 82 — — 82 Manufacturing, research and development — 1,792 — 1,792 Depreciation and amortization expense — 632 2 634 General and administrative 115 843 3,391 4,349 Other income, net 1,801 — — 1,801 Income tax expense — — 1,942 1,942 Net income (loss) 10,106 1,844 ( 5,334 ) 6,616 Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Finance Receivables Pharmaceutical Development and Other Holding Company and Other Consolidated Revenue $ 9,373 $ 187 $ — $ 9,560 Interest expense 53 — — 53 Manufacturing, research and development — 2,487 — 2,487 Depreciation and amortization expense — 810 2 812 General and administrative 90 999 2,491 3,580 Other income, net 128 — — 128 Income tax expense — — 513 513 Net income (loss) 9,358 ( 4,109 ) ( 3,006 ) 2,243 16 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Finance Receivables Pharmaceutical Development and Other Holding Company and Other Consolidated Revenue $ 25,745 $ 5,461 $ — $ 31,206 Other revenue — 480 1 481 Interest expense 242 — — 242 Manufacturing, research and development — 5,173 — 5,173 Depreciation and amortization expense — 1,961 3 1,964 General and administrative 219 2,783 7,525 10,527 Other income, net 89 — — 89 Income tax expense — — 3,211 3,211 Net income (loss) 25,373 ( 3,976 ) ( 10,738 ) 10,659 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Finance Receivables Pharmaceutical Development and Other Holding Company and Other Consolidated Revenue $ 29,857 $ 10,846 $ — $ 40,703 Other revenue — 496 — 496 Interest expense 292 — — 292 Manufacturing, research and development — 5,577 — 5,577 Depreciation and amortization expense — 3,300 5 3,305 Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration — ( 147 ) — ( 147 ) General and administrative 2,034 3,088 4,703 9,825 Other income, net 2,235 — — 2,235 Income tax expense — — 4,980 4,980 Net income (loss) 29,766 ( 476 ) ( 9,688 ) 19,602 Included in Holding Company and Other are the expenses of the parent holding company and certain other enterprise-wide overhead costs, including public company costs and non-Enteris corporate employees, which have been included for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts. 17 ITEM 2.

We believe there have been no new critical accounting policies or material changes to our existing critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to those discussed in our Annual Report. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Refer to Part I. Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 1 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a listing of recent accounting pronouncements and their potential impact to our consolidated financial statements. Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 ( in millions ) Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Change Revenues $ 13.6 $ 9.6 $ 4.0 Interest expense 0.1 0.1 — Pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and development expense 1.8 2.5 (0.7 ) Depreciation and amortization expense 0.6 0.8 (0.2 ) General and administrative 4.3 3.6 0.7 Other income, net 1.8 0.1 1.7 Income tax expense 1.9 0.5 1.4 Net income 6.6 2.2 4.4 Revenues Revenues increased to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The $4.0 million increase in revenue was due to $5.0 million of milestone revenue related to Enteris’ License Agreement with Cara received during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which did not occur during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in revenue was partially offset by a $0.9 million net decrease in Finance Receivables segment revenues. The decrease in Finance Receivables segment revenue was due to a $1.3 million net decrease in royalty income primarily due to the achievement of return premiums that caused a step down in royalty rates, which was partially offset by a net increase of $0.4 million in interest and fees earned on finance receivables. 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 September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.1 million, respectively. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Research and Development Expense Pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and development expense decreased from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $0.7 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in manufacturing materials for pipeline projects and clinical trials. Depreciation and Amortization The $0.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 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 General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation; stock-based compensation and related costs for management, staff and Board; legal and audit expenses; and corporate governance expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The $0.7 million increase was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in salaries and benefits expense, of which $1.1 million is related to the former CEO’s severance pay pursuant to the Separation and Release Agreement dated August 31, 2022, and a $0.2 million increase in salaries and benefits expense due to an increase in personnel and the performance-based bonus accrual. The increase in general and administrative expense also included a $0.7 million increase in audit and legal fees related to amending the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and other corporate governance, financing and strategic matters. The increase was partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in corporate strategic planning and related special committee board fees, as well as a $0.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense related to the forfeiture of stock-options held by the former CEO upon his departure on September 30, 2022. Other (Expense) Income, Net Other expense, net for three months ended September 30, 2022 reflected a net aggregate fair market value gain of $1.8 million on our warrant derivatives and Bioventus common stock. Other income, net for three months ended September 30, 2021 reflected a net fair market value loss of $0.2 million on our warrant derivatives and a net fair market value gain of $0.3 million on our Misonix common stock, which was tendered in October 2021 in exchange for $1.9 million in cash and 71,361 shares of Bioventus common stock. Income Tax Expense During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized income tax expense of $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The $1.4 million increase in income tax expense is the result of an increase in taxable income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period of the previous year. Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 ( in millions ) Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 Change Revenues $ 31.7 $ 41.2 $ (9.5 ) Interest expense 0.2 0.3 (0.1 ) Pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and development expense 5.2 5.6 (0.4 ) Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration — (0.1 ) 0.1 Depreciation and amortization expense 2.0 3.3 (1.3 ) General and administrative 10.5 9.8 0.7 Other income, net 0.1 2.2 (2.1 ) Income tax expense 3.2 5.0 (1.8 ) Net income 10.7 19.6 (8.9 ) 22 Revenues Revenues decreased to $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $9.5 million decrease in revenue consisted of a $5.4 million decrease in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue and a $4.1 million decrease in Finance Receivables segment revenue. The decrease in Pharmaceutical Development segment revenue included $5.0 million of milestone revenue related to Enteris’ License Agreement with Cara received during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $10.0 million of milestone revenue for the same period of 2021. The decrease in Finance Receivables segment revenue was due to a $5.1 million net decrease in royalty income primarily due to the achievement of return premiums that caused a step down in royalty rates, which was partially offset by a net increase of $1.0 million in interest and fees earned on finance receivables. 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, Research and Development Expense Pharmaceutical manufacturing, research and development expense decreased from $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $0.4 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in manufacturing materials for pipeline projects and clinical trials. Depreciation and Amortization The $1.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 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 and Board; legal and audit expenses; and corporate governance expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $0.7 million increase was primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in salaries and benefits expense related to the former CEO’s severance pay pursuant to the Separation and Release Agreement dated August 31, 2022. The increase in general and administrative expense also included a $0.9 million increase in audit and legal fees related to amending the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and other corporate governance, financing and strategic matters. The increase was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in corporate strategic planning and related special committee board fees, as well as a $0.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense related to the forfeiture of stock-options held by the former CEO upon his departure on September 30, 2022. Other Income, Net Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflected a net aggregate fair market value gain of $0.1 million on our warrant derivatives and Bioventus common stock. Other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflected a net fair market value gain of $0.7 million on our warrant derivatives and a net fair market value gain of $1.6 million on our Misonix common stock, which was tendered in October 2021 in exchange for $1.9 million in cash and 71,361 shares of Bioventus common stock. 23 Income Tax Expense During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized income tax expense of $3.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The $1.8 million decrease in income tax expense is the result of a decrease in taxable income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period of the previous year. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2022, we had $19.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $42.9 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021. The primary driver of the $23.5 million decrease in our cash balance was $71.2 million of investment funding, net of deferred fees and origination expenses; $8.2 million for payments of accounts payable, including $1.9 million for Enteris’s internal pipeline and business development projects; payroll and benefits expense of $8.3 million; $0.6 million to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market; and $0.3 million of credit facility interest and other expenses. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was partially offset by $64.4 million of interest, fees, principal and royalty payments received on our finance receivables and $0.7 million of customer payments generated by our Pharmaceutical Development segment. 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 September 30, 2022, our finance receivables portfolio contains $213.0 million of finance receivables, $0.6 million of marketable investments, and $3.5 million related to our cost method investment. In the aggregate, we expect these assets to generate positive cash flows in 2022. In addition, the majority of our finance receivables portfolio are debt instruments that carry floating interest rates with a reference rate-based interest rate floor. Changes in interest rates, including the underlying reference 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 entered into a $20.0 million revolving credit facility in June 2018. The credit facility was amended on September 26, 2022 to extend the termination date to November 29, 2022. We continue to work with our current lender to extend our credit facility. As of September 30, 2022, $22.0 million was available for borrowing under the 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 6 of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 24 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents were deposited in accounts at well capitalized financial institutions. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2022 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 reference rate 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. We have 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 25 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.
