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 September 30, 2023,
the Company had 23 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 3, 2023, the Company and its partners have executed transactions with 53 different parties under its specialty
finance strategy, funding an aggregate of $756.7 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 development and manufacturing organization providing development services to pharmaceutical partners as
well as 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, 2023. 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
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 interest and accounts receivable; impairment
of finance receivables; allowance for credit losses; 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 clinical development and
manufacturing services as well as 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
Reclassification
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation and have no impact on previously reported total
assets and total liabilities, total stockholders’ equity or net income.
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 Standard 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 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 London Interbank Offered Rate (“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.
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASU 2016-13”),” as amended, on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective approach method. ASU 2016-13
replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects a current expected credit loss (“CECL”).
ASU 2016-13 impacted all of the Company’s investments held at amortized cost. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance
for credit losses of $11.8 million was the accumulation of allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) applied to specific finance
receivables, representing management’s prior estimates of potential future losses on such finance receivables. As part of the Company’s
adoption of ASU 2016-13, management reviewed its prior estimates of finance receivable-specific ACL and chose to apply the full $11.8
million ACL under legacy GAAP to the finance receivables such allowance applied. Under the new CECL model, the net GAAP balances of such
finance receivables are presented net of previously reported ACL and are included in the Company’s estimated ACL for its Royalty
Purchases portfolio segment.
Upon
adoption of ASC 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, the Company’s transition adjustment included $11.8 million of ACL on finance receivables,
which is presented as a reduction to finance receivables, and a $ 0.4 million ACL on unfunded loan commitments, which is recorded
within other non-current liabilities. The Company recorded a net decrease of $ 9.7 million to accumulated deficit as of January
1, 2023 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13, which reflects the transition adjustments noted above, net of
the applicable deferred tax assets of $2.5 million. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented
under ASU 2016-13, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable accounting standards.
The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable and instead elected to
reverse interest income on finance receivables when placed on nonaccrual status, or earlier if the Company believes the collection
of interest is doubtful. The Company has concluded that this policy results in the timely reversal of uncollectible interest.
Please refer to Note 3 for more information on how the Company determines its allowance for credit losses on finance receivables.
In
March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings
and Vintage Disclosures,” which removes the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) and
requires entities to evaluate whether a modification provided to a borrower results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan.
The amendment enhances existing disclosures and requires new disclosures for receivables when there has been a modification in contractual
cash flows due to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Additionally, the amendments require public business entities to disclose
gross charge-off information by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 and
incorporated the required disclosures into Note 3, Finance Receivables, Net.

Note
2. Net Income per Share
Basic
net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the applicable
period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during
the applicable period, 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):

For
the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and outstanding shares
of restricted stock in an aggregate of approximately 127,000 and 186,000 , 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, 2023 and 2022,
outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and outstanding shares of restricted stock in an aggregate of approximately
121,000 and 268,000 , respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as all such securities
were anti-dilutive.

Note
3. Finance Receivables, Net
Finance
receivables are reported at their determined principal balances net of any unearned income, cumulative write offs charged against
the allowance for credit losses, 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.
The
carrying values of finance receivables are as follows (in thousands):

Allowance
for Credit Losses
The
ACL is management’s estimate of the amount of expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio, or the amount of amortized
cost basis not expected to be collected, at the balance sheet date. This estimate encompasses information about historical events,
current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Determining the amount of the ACL is complex and requires
extensive judgment by management about matters that are inherently uncertain. Given the current level of economic uncertainty,
the complexity of the ACL estimate and level of management judgment required, we believe it is possible that the ACL estimate
could change, potentially materially, in future periods. Changes in the ACL may result from changes in current economic conditions,
our economic forecast, and circumstances not currently known to us that may impact the financial condition and operations of our
borrowers, among other factors.
Expected
credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for groups of loans that share similar risk characteristics. For finance receivables
that do not share similar risk characteristics with other finance receivables, expected credit losses are estimated on an individual
basis. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual terms of the finance receivables, adjusted for expected prepayments
and unfunded commitments, generally excluding extensions and modifications. The loan portfolio segment is defined as the level at which
an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. As part of the Company’s quarterly
assessment of the allowance, the finance receivables portfolio included two portfolio segments: Term Loans and Royalty Purchases.
The
implementation of ASU 2016-13 also impacted the Company’s ACL on unfunded loan commitments, as the ACL now represents expected
credit losses over the contractual life of commitments not identified as unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The reserve for
unfunded commitments is estimated using the same reserve or coverage rates calculated on collectively evaluated loans following the application
of a funding rate to the amount of the unfunded commitment. The funding rate represents management’s estimate of the amount of
the current unfunded commitment that will be funded over the remaining contractual life of the commitment and is based on historical
data. On January 1, 2023, the Company recorded an adjustment for unfunded commitments of $0.4 million for the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
As of September 30, 2023, the $0.4 million liability for credit losses on off -balance-sheet credit exposures is included in other
non-current liabilities. Please refer to Note 6 for further information on the Company’s unfunded commitments.

Non-Accrual
Finance Receivables
The
Company originates finance receivables to companies primarily in the life sciences sector. This concentration of credit exposes
the Company to a higher degree of risk associated with this sector.
On
a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its finance receivables. Recognition of income is suspended, and
the finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable.
This evaluation is generally based on delinquency information, an assessment of the borrower’s financial condition and the
adequacy of collateral, if any. The Company would generally place term loans on nonaccrual status when the full and timely collection
of interest or principal becomes uncertain and they are 90 days past due for interest or principal, unless the term loan is both
well-secured and in the process of collection. When placed on nonaccrual, the Company would reverse any accrued unpaid interest
receivable against interest income and amortization of any net deferred fees is suspended. Generally, the Company would return
a term loan to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current under the terms of the credit agreement
and collectibility of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful.
The
following table presents nonaccrual and performing finance receivables by portfolio segment, net of credit loss allowance (in

As
of September 30, 2023, the Company had four finance receivables in nonaccrual status: (1) the term loan to Trio Healthcare Ltd. (“Trio”),
with a carrying value of $ 9.1
million ; (2) the Flowonix Medical, Inc. (“Flowonix”)
royalty, with a carrying value of $ 10.4
million (see Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers
Experiencing Financial Difficulty below for further details); (3) the Best ABT, Inc. (“Best”) royalty, with a
carrying value of $ 2.7
million ; and (4) the Ideal Implant, Inc. (“Ideal”)
royalty, with a net carrying value of $ 4.2
million . Although in nonaccrual status, none
of the finance receivables were considered impaired as of September 30, 2023. The Company collected $2.3 million on its nonaccrual finance
receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Loan
Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
Effective
January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the accounting for TDRs while expanding loan
modification and vintage disclosure requirements. The update specifically required additional disclosures on loan modifications
to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties that involved an interest rate reduction, other-than-insignificant payment delay,
a term extension, principal forgiveness or a combination thereof.
10
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company made one significant modification to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty
involving an other-than-insignificant payment delay and a term extension/modification. Flowonix’s assets were sold to Algorithm
Sciences, Inc. (“Algorithm”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and in exchange for releasing its lien, the
Company received $1.5 million of cash at close, bringing the carrying value from $11.9 million as of June 30, 2023 to $10.4 million
as of September 30, 2023. The Company expects to receive royalties on the net sales of two products beginning in late 2024.
Although
in nonaccrual status, the Flowonix royalty was not considered impaired as of September 30, 2023 and is considered in the $3.3
million Royalty allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2023. On an ongoing basis, the Company monitors the performance of modified
loans to their restructured terms.
Credit
Quality of Finance Receivables
The
Company evaluates all finance receivables on a quarterly basis and assigns a risk rating based upon management’s assessment
of the borrower’s likelihood of repayment. The assessment is subjective and based on multiple factors, including but not
limited to, financial strength of borrowers and operating results of the underlying business. The credit risk analysis and rating
assignment is performed quarterly in conjunction with the Company’s assessment of its allowance for credit losses. The Company
uses the following definitions for its risk ratings for Term Loans:
1:
Borrower performing well below Company expectations, and the borrower’s ability to raise sufficient capital to operate its business
or repay debt is highly in question. Finance receivables rated a 1 are on non-accrual and are at an elevated risk for principal
impairment.
2:
Borrower performing below plan, and the loan-to-value is generally worse than at the time of underwriting. Borrower has limited
access to additional capital to operate its business. Finance receivables rated a 2 might be placed on non-accrual. While there
is a potential for future principal impairment, we may refrain from placing borrower on non-accrual due to enterprise value coverage,
continued receipt of interest payments, and/or anticipate a near-term capital raise.
3:
Borrower performing inline-to-modestly below Company expectations, and loan-to-value is similar to slightly worse than at the
time of underwriting. Borrower has demonstrated access to capital markets.
4:
Borrower performing inline-to-modestly above Company expectations and loan-to-value similar or modestly better than underwriting
case. Borrower has demonstrated access to capital markets.
5:
Borrower performing in excess of Company expectations, and loan-to-value is better than at time of origination.
The
Company uses an internal credit rating system which rates each Royalty on a color scale of Green to Red, with Green typically
indicative of a Royalty that is exceeding base underwritten case and Red reflective of underperformance relative to plan.

5. Revolving Credit Facility
On
June 28, 2023, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among SWK Funding LLC,
the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (together with the Company, the “Borrower”), the lenders party thereto
(“Lenders”), and First Horizon Bank as a Lender and Agent (the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides
for a revolving credit facility with an initial maximum principal amount of $45.0 million. The Credit Agreement provides that
the Company may request one or more incremental increases in an aggregate amount not to exceed $80.0 million, subject to the consent
of the Agent and each Lender, at any time prior to the termination of the revolving credit period on June 28, 2026 (the “Commitment
Termination Date”). The revolving credit period will be followed by a one-year amortization period, with the final maturity
date of the Credit Agreement occurring on June 28, 2027.
The
outstanding principal balance of the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) Term SOFR
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (ii) 3.75 percent at all times prior to the Commitment Termination Date. The outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) Term SOFR (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) plus (ii) 4.25 percent at all times on and after the Commitment Termination Date. Under the terms
of the Credit Agreement, all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first business day of each
calendar month.
13
The
Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, in addition to financial covenants specifying that, as of the
end of each calendar month, (i) the consolidated leverage ratio of Borrower will not exceed 1.00 to 1.00, (ii) the consolidated interest
coverage ratio of Borrower will not be less than 4.00 to 1.00, (iii) the cash collection rate in relation to Borrower’s portfolio
of loan assets will not be less than 4.5 percent, for such calendar month, (iv) the net charge-off percentage in relation to Borrower’s
portfolio of loan assets will not exceed 3 percent for such calendar month, and (v) the weighted average risk rating in relation to Borrower
portfolio of loan assets will not be less than 3.00. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that at no time shall the Company permit
its consolidated tangible net worth to be less than $145.0 million, or its Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be less
than $5.0 million. The Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for such financings, the occurrence of which would
permit the Agent and Lenders to accelerate the aggregate principal amount due thereunder.
The
Credit Agreement refinances the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement dated as of June 29, 2018 (the “Prior Credit
Agreement”), as amended, between the Company and Cadence Bank, N.A. (“Cadence Bank”), as the lender and administrative
agent, which was due to expire on September 30, 2025. The Prior Credit Agreement was terminated by the Company, effective as of
June 28, 2023.
On
October 10, 2023, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement pursuant to which Woodforest National Bank was
added as a lender under the Credit Agreement for an aggregate commitment of $15.0 million, thereby increasing the aggregate commitments
under the Credit Agreement from $45.0 million to $60.0 million. Please see Note 10 for further information regarding the First
Amendment to Credit Agreement.
As
of September 30, 2023, $22.0 million was outstanding under the new Credit Agreement, and approximately $ 2.4
million was outstanding under the Prior Credit
Agreement as of December 31, 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 0.2
million and $ 0.1
million , respectively, of interest expense. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 0.7
million and $ 0.2
million , respectively, of interest expense.
Note
6. Commitments and Contingencies
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. 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. The estimated fair value of contingent
consideration as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 11.2 million . The Company did not recognize a change in the estimated fair value of its contingent consideration during the
nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Unfunded
Commitments
As
of September 30, 2023, the Company’s unfunded commitments were as follows (in millions):
Schedule of Unfunded Commitments
MedMinder Systems, Inc.
$ 5.0
Duo Royalty
2.4
Total unfunded commitments
$ 7.4
Per
the terms of the royalty purchase or credit agreements, unfunded commitments are contingent upon reaching an established revenue
threshold or other performance metrics on or before a specified date or period of time, and in the case of loan transactions,
are subject to being advanced as long as an event of default does not exist.
On
January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss model known
as the CECL model. See Note 3 for information regarding the Company’s allowance for credit losses related to its unfunded
commitments.
14
Litigation
The
Company is involved in, or has been involved in, arbitrations or various other legal proceedings that arise from the normal course
of its business. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, and either unfavorable or favorable outcomes could have
a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheets and cash flows due to defense costs, and divert
management resources. The Company cannot predict the timing or outcome of these claims and other proceedings. As of September
30, 2023, the Company is not involved in any arbitration and/or other legal proceeding that it expects to have a material effect
on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Indemnification
As
permitted by Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or
occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving in such capacity, or in other capacities at the Company’s
request. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential
amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however,
the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion
of any such amounts. As a result of the Company’s insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value
of these indemnification agreements is insignificant. Accordingly, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements
as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
15
Note
7. 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, 2023 and 2022.
The
following information is provided to help readers gain an understanding of the relationship between amounts reported in the accompanying
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.
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 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 consolidated
statements of income. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower
or higher fair value measurement.
16
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
Instruments
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.
The
Company uses a foreign currency forward contract to manage the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency denominated cash flows expected
to be received from one of its royalty finance receivables denominated in a foreign currency. The foreign currency forward contract is
not designated as a hedging instrument, and changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The foreign currency forward was recorded
in other non-current assets and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December
31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $2.1 million of changes in fair value related to its foreign currency forward contract
during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Note 9. 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 CEO uses 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. 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 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 Company does not report assets by reportable segment,
as this metric is not used by the Company’s CEO in assessing performance or allocating resources to the segments.
