−Removed: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to Medicaid rebates is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management due to the significant measurement uncertainty involved in developing the allowances, as these allowances are based on assumptions developed for estimated patient utilization, primarily payor mix, invoice lag and inventory levels within the distribution channel.
−Removed: This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to management’s significant assumptions, related to the estimated patient utilization.

−Removed: Management does not expect returned goods to be resalable.
−Removed: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the product returns for Fanapt is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management due to the significant measurement uncertainty involved in developing the reserve, as the reserve is based on assumptions developed using return activity with limited historical information and inventory levels within the distribution channel.

−Removed: Deferred tax assets are reduced by a tax valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
−Removed: Management’s analysis depends on historical and projected taxable income.
−Removed: Projected taxable income includes significant assumptions related to revenue, commercial expenses and research and development activities.
−Removed: The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management due to the significant measurement uncertainty involved in determining the realizability of the deferred tax assets, as realizability is based on historical taxable income and projected taxable income, specifically related to assumptions developed for projected revenue, commercial expenses and research and development activities.
−Removed: This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures related to evaluating management’s judgments about the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets, including the evaluation of significant assumptions related to the realizability of deferred tax assets, and evaluating audit evidence relating to assumptions for projected revenue, commercial expenses and research and development activities.
