1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND OPERATING SEGMENT

(a) Description of Business

Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a biotechnology company, with a primary focus on oncology and hematology. Our strategy is comprised of the (i) commercialization of cancer therapeutics through our U.S. direct sales force and international distributors, (ii) completion of studies for new indications of our marketed products, and (iii) acquiring and developing a diverse pipeline of late-stage drug compounds for commercialization.

We currently market five drugs for the following indications:

 

    FUSILEV® injection for patients in the U.S. with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer and to counteract certain effects of methotrexate therapy;

 

    ZEVALIN® injection for patients in the U.S. and various international markets with follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma;

 

    FOLOTYN® injection for patients in the U.S. with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (“PTCL”);

 

    MARQIBO® injection for patients in the U.S. with Philadelphia chromosome–negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia; and

 

    BELEODAQ® injection for patients in the U.S. with relapsed or refractory PTCL.

(b) Basis of Presentation

Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial data as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of our results for a full year. In the opinion of our management, the interim data includes normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. Certain amounts presented within “Cash Flows from Operating Activities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the prior year period have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Spectrum and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned (except for SPC, as discussed below). All inter-company accounts and transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entity

We own fifty-percent of Spectrum Pharma Canada (“SPC”), organized in Quebec, Canada in January 2008. Certain of our drug clinical studies are conducted through this “variable interest entity” (as defined under applicable GAAP). We are obligated to fund all of SPC’s costs and have the sole rights to any revenue it derives. Since we carry the full risks and rewards of SPC, we meet the applicable GAAP criteria as being its “primary beneficiary.” Accordingly, SPC’s balance sheets and statements of operations are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as if it were a wholly-owned subsidiary for all periods presented.

(c) Operating Segment

We operate in one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing and commercializing oncology and hematology drug products. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, all of our revenue and related expenses were solely attributable to these activities. Substantially all of our assets (excluding certain of our bank accounts and intangible asset rights held by our wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries) are located in the U.S.

2. USE OF ESTIMATES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make informed estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. On an on-going basis, our management evaluates its estimates, including those related to (i) gross-to-net revenue adjustments; (ii) the collectability of customer accounts; (iii) whether the cost of inventories can be recovered; (iv) the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets; (v) the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities; (vi) the likelihood of payment and value of contingent liabilities; (vii) the fair value of investments; (viii) assumptions used in reporting stock-based compensation; and (ix) the potential outcome of ongoing or threatened litigation.

Our estimates are based on our management’s professional judgment which involves their experience and consideration of all available facts. Actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates. In our judgment, the accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions described below have the greatest potential to significantly impact the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

(i) Revenue Recognition

(a) Product Sales: We sell our products to wholesalers or distributors (i.e., our customers), except for our U.S. sales of ZEVALIN in which case the end-user is our customer. Our wholesalers and distributors in turn sell the products directly to end-users, such as clinics, hospitals, and private oncology-based practices. Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss have transferred to our customer, and the following additional criteria are met:

 

  (1) appropriate evidence of a binding arrangement exists with our customer;

 

  (2) price is substantially fixed and determinable;

 

  (3) collection from our customer is reasonably assured;

 

  (4) our customer’s obligation to pay us is not contingent on resale of the product;

 

  (5) we do not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about the resale of our product; and

 

  (6) we have a reasonable basis to estimate returns.

Our gross revenue is reduced by our gross-to-net (“GTN”) estimates each period, resulting in our reported “product sales, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We defer revenue recognition in full if these estimates are not reasonably determinable at the time of sale. These estimates are based upon information received from external sources, in combination with management’s judgments and estimates. Such external information includes written and oral information obtained from our wholesalers with respect to their period-end inventory levels, and their sales to end-users during the period. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the inputs that these estimates are based upon, the actual amount we incur may be prospectively reported by us as a revenue adjustment in periods after the initial sale is recorded, and could be materially different from our initial estimates.

Our GTN estimates include the following major categories:

Product Returns Allowances: Our FUSILEV, MARQIBO, and BELEODAQ customers are permitted to return purchased product beginning at its expiration date, and within six months thereafter. Returned product is generally not resold. Returns for expiry of ZEVALIN and FOLOTYN are not contractually, or customarily, allowed. We estimate potential returns based on historical rates of return.

Government Chargebacks: Our products are subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs. Qualifying entities (end-users) purchase product from our wholesalers at their qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount we incur represents the difference between our original sales price to the wholesaler, and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price. There may be significant lag time between our original sale to the wholesaler and our receipt of the corresponding government chargeback from our wholesalers.

(Unaudited)

 

Prompt Pay Discounts: Discounts for prompt payment are estimated at the time of sale, based on our eligible customers’ prompt payment history and the contractual discount percentage.

Commercial Rebates: Rebates are estimated based on our customers’ actual purchase level during the quarterly or annual rebate purchase period, and the corresponding contractual rebate tier we expect each customer to achieve.

Medicaid Rebates: Our products are subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates for purchases are issued to participating state governments. These rebates arise when the patient treated with our products is covered under Medicaid. Our calculations related to these Medicaid rebate accruals require us to estimate end-user and patient mix to determine which of our sales will likely be subject to these rebates. There is a significant time lag in us receiving these rebate notices (generally several months after our sale is made). Our estimates are based on our historical claims, as supplemented by management’s judgment.

Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and group purchasing organization (GPO) administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers of our products (except for U.S. sales of ZEVALIN) for various services, including: contract administration, inventory management, end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually determined percentage of applicable sales.

(b) License Fees: We recognize revenue for our licensing of intellectual property to third parties (i.e., out-licenses), based on the contractual terms of each agreement. This results in periodic revenue recognition as the licensee has sales for which we are entitled to a royalty. In certain instances in which we receive a lump-sum payment, revenue is deferred and recognized over the actual or implied contractual term.

(c) Service Revenue: We receive fees under certain arrangements for research and development activities, clinical trial management, and supply chain services. Payment may be triggered by the successful completion of a phase of development, results from a clinical trial, regulatory approval events, or completion of product delivery in our capacity as an agent in such arrangement. We recognize revenue when the corresponding milestone is achieved, or the revenue is otherwise earned through our on-going activities.

(d) New Revenue Recognition Standard: ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), was issued in May 2014 for our mandatory adoption beginning January 1, 2017 (no early adoption is permitted under this new revenue recognition standard). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides that an entity should apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We continue to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 to our current revenue recognition models for product sales, license fees, and service revenue, as described above.

(ii) Cash and Equivalents

Our cash and equivalents consist of bank deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the original purchase date.

(iii) Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities consist of our holdings in mutual funds and bank certificates of deposit. Since we classify these securities as “available-for-sale” under applicable GAAP, any unrealized gains or losses from their change in value is reflected in “unrealized gain (loss) on securities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in “other expense” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(iv) Accounts Receivable

Our accounts receivables are derived from our product sales, license fees, and service revenue, and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts are exhausted.

(v) Inventories

We value our inventory at the lower of (i) the actual cost to purchase or manufacture it, or (ii) its current market value. Inventory cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). We regularly review our inventory quantities in process of manufacture and on hand, and when appropriate, record a provision for obsolete and excess inventory.

Direct and indirect manufacturing costs related to the production of inventory prior to FDA approval are expensed through “research and development,” rather than being capitalized.

(vi) Property and Equipment

Our property and equipment is stated at cost, and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life that corresponds with its designated asset category. We evaluate the recoverability of “long-lived assets” (which includes property and equipment) whenever events or changes in circumstances in our business indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable through on-going operations.

(vii) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our goodwill represents the excess of our business acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the corresponding transaction. Goodwill has an indefinite accounting life and is therefore not amortized. Instead, goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis (as of each October 1st), unless we identify impairment indicators that would require earlier testing.

We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or whenever events or changes in our business indicate that an intangible asset’s (whether indefinite or definite-lived) carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to the following:

 

  (a) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset;

 

  (b) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used; or

 

  (c) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. We review these assets for potential impairment if/when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

(viii) Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for equity awards granted to our employees and members of our board of directors is recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s vesting period. Recognized compensation expense is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, which estimates those shares expected to be forfeited prior to vesting. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options (as of the date of grant) which carry service conditions for vesting. We use the Monte Carlo valuation model to value equity awards (as of the date of grant) which carry combined market conditions and service conditions for vesting.

Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the pre-vesting forfeiture rate, expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility, and risk-free interest rates. We estimate the expected term of options granted based on our employees’ historical exercise patterns, which we believe will be representative of their future behavior. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on historical volatility of our common stock for a look-back period that corresponds with the expected term. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based upon the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at award grant, for a period equaling the stock options’ expected term.

(ix) Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are stated in their local functional currencies, to U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the reported balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the reported period. Unrealized gains and losses from the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial statements (that are initially denominated in its foreign functional currency) are included as a separate component of “accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We record foreign currency transactions, when initially denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currency of our subsidiary, at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Resulting unrealized and realized gains and losses (including those associated with intercompany loans with our subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar) are included in “other income (expense), net” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, based on our expectation and intent that these intercompany transactions will be settled in the foreseeable future.

(x) Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income per Share

We calculate basic and diluted net (loss) income per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In periods of a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include only dilutive stock options, warrants, and other common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

(xi) Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the financial statements, as well as operating losses and tax credit carry forwards using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.

We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets, because we believe that, based upon a weighting of positive and negative factors, it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. If/when we determine that our deferred tax assets are realizable, an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance would increase our net income in the period that such determination was made.

In the event that we are assessed interest and/or penalties from taxing authorities that have not been previously accrued, such amounts would be included in “income tax benefit (expense)” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the period the notice was received.

(xii) Research and Development Costs

Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred, or as certain milestone payments become due, generally triggered by clinical or regulatory events.

(xiii) Fair Value Measurements

We determine measurement-date fair value based on the proceeds that would be received through the sale of the asset, or that we would pay to settle or transfer the liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but that are corroborated by market data. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted market prices in markets that are not active to the general public.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

“Cash and cash equivalents” within our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include certificates of deposit and money market funds that are valued utilizing Level 2 inputs. “Marketable securities” consist of mutual funds that are valued utilizing Level 2 inputs.

The fair value of our “drug development liability” within our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was estimated using the discounted income approach model. The unobservable inputs (i.e., Level 3 inputs) in this valuation model that have the most significant effect on these liabilities include (i) estimates of research and development personnel costs needed to perform the research and development services, (ii) estimates of expected cash outflows to third parties for services and supplies over the expected period that the services will be performed, and (iii) an appropriate discount rate for these expenditures. These inputs are reviewed for reasonableness by management on at least on a quarterly basis.

“Acquisition-related contingent obligations” within our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent future amounts we may be required to pay in conjunction with our business combinations. See Note 9(a) for a discussion of contingent value rights granted as part of our acquisition of Talon, and Note 9(b) for the fair value of the liability associated with FDA approval of
C-E MELPHALAN. These liabilities are valued using Level 3 inputs and include probabilities and assumptions related to the timing and likelihood of achievement of regulatory and sales milestones.

 

3. BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT DETAIL

The composition of selected financial statement captions that comprise the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized below:

(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our holdings included within “cash and cash equivalents” and “marketable securities” were at major financial institutions.

Our investment policy requires that investments in marketable securities be in only highly-rated instruments, which are primarily U.S. treasury bills or U.S. treasury-backed securities, and limited investments in securities of any single issuer. We maintain cash balances in excess of federally insured limits with reputable financial institutions. To a limited degree, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and other third parties insure these investments. However, these investments are not insured against the possibility of a complete loss of earnings or principal and are inherently subject to the credit risk related to the continued credit worthiness of the underlying issuer and general credit market risks. We manage such risks on our portfolio by investing in highly liquid, highly rated instruments, and limit investing in long-term maturity instruments.

The carrying amount of our equity securities, money market funds, bank certificate of deposits (“Bank CDs”), and mutual funds approximates their fair value (utilizing Level 1 or Level 2 inputs – see Note 2(xiii)) because of our ability to immediately convert these instruments into cash with minimal expected change in value.

* On May 29, 2013, we amended our collaboration agreement with Mundipharma in order to modify the scope of their licensed territories and the respective development obligations. As a result of the amendment, Europe and Turkey were excluded from Mundipharma’s commercialization territory, and royalty and milestone rates were modified. The modification of our associated royalty and milestone rights constituted a change in the contractual provisions under which we measured our original acquired intangible asset (i.e., FOLOTYN rights). We determined that an impairment of the FOLOTYN out-license rights to Mundipharma of $1.0 million resulted from this amendment.

Our annual impairment evaluation (as of October 1st) of our indefinite-lived intangible assets (see Note 2(vii)) is ongoing and will be completed by our management by December 2014. The assets under review include MARQIBO IPR&D and C-E MELPHALAN IPR&D, which we carry on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014, at its net book value of $17.6 million and $7.7 million, respectively.

** These equity securities were excluded from “marketable securities” (see Note 3(a)) due to our intent to hold these securities for at least one year beyond September 30, 2014, given the nature of the transaction that gave rise to our ownership of them, as discussed in Note 10. Gross unrealized gains from these equity securities (recognized through “other comprehensive income”) were $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

(j) Accumulated other comprehensive income

“Accumulated other comprehensive income” (a component of stockholders’ equity) includes, among other items, unrealized gains and losses from available-for-sale securities (“AFS”). When AFS securities are sold, and the resulting gain or loss is realized, any corresponding unrealized gain or loss amounts previously included within accumulated other comprehensive income is eliminated. In the third quarter of 2014, we sold certain stock holdings that had been classified as an AFS. As a result, we reversed $2.9 million of unrealized gain from “accumulated other comprehensive income” previously included and reported on our June 30, 2014 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of which $2.2 million was recognized as a realized gain through “other income (expense), net” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

9. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

(a) Acquisition of Talon Therapeutics, Inc.

Overview of Talon Acquisition

On July 17, 2013, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Talon”). Through the acquisition of Talon, we gained worldwide rights to MARQIBO. The Talon purchase consideration comprised of (i) an aggregate upfront cash amount of $11.3 million, (ii) issuance of 3.0 million shares of our common stock, then equivalent to $26.3 million (based on a closing price of $8.77 per share on July 17, 2013), and (iii) the issuance of contingent value rights (“CVR”) initially valued at $6.5 million.

The CVR was valued using a valuation model that probability-weights expected outcomes (ranging from 50% to 100%) and discounts those amounts to their present value, using a discount rate of 25% (these represent unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs – see Note 2 (xiii)). The CVR has a maximum payout of $195.0 million if all sales and regulatory approval milestones are achieved, as summarized below:

 

    $5.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $30.0 million in any calendar year

 

    $10.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $60.0 million in any calendar year

 

    $25.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $100.0 million in any calendar year

 

    $50.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $200.0 million in any calendar year

 

    $100.0 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $400.0 million in any calendar year

 

    $5.0 million upon receipt of marketing authorization from the FDA regarding Menadione Topical Lotion

Talon CVR Fair Value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

The CVR fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. Current and future changes in its fair value results from the likelihood and timing of milestone achievement and/or the corresponding discount rate applied thereon. Adjustments to CVR fair value are recognized within “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Overview of Acquisition of Rights to Captisol-Enabled® Melphalan

In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of exclusive global development and commercialization rights to Captisol-enabled ®, propylene glycol-free MELPHALAN (“C-E MELPHALAN”) for use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant for patients with multiple myeloma from CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Ligand”) for an initial license fee of $3.0 million.

We accounted for this transaction as a business combination, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values, which involves our estimates of future discounted cash flows as of the transaction date.

We are required to pay Ligand additional amounts up to an aggregate $66.0 million, upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and net sales thresholds (“Ligand Contingent Consideration”), and we also assumed full financial responsibility for its ongoing clinical and regulatory development program. We also must pay royalties in the range of 15% to 25% on our future net sales of licensed products in all territories.

Consideration Transferred

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

 

Cash consideration

   $  3,000   

Ligand Contingent Consideration

     4,700   
  

 

 

 

Total purchase consideration

   $ 7,700   
  

 

 

 

Fair Value Estimate of Asset Acquired and Liability Assumed

The total purchase consideration is allocated to the acquisition of the net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:

 

IPR&D C-E MELPHALAN rights

   $  7,700   
  

 

 

 

We estimated the fair value of this IPR&D using the “income approach”. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future expected net cash flows to a single discounted present-value. The fair value estimate took into account our estimates of future incremental earnings that may be achieved upon regulatory approval, promotion, and distribution associated with the rights, and included estimated cash flows of approximately 10 years and a discount rate of approximately 25%.

(Unaudited)

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed was determined using the probability of success and the discounted cash flow method of the income approach, which assumes that FDA approval of C-E MELPHALAN will occur on or about November 30, 2015. Upon receipt of FDA approval, we will be obligated to make a milestone payment to Ligand of $6.0 million.

Ligand Contingent Consideration Fair Value as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

The Ligand Contingent Consideration fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. This liability is included within “acquisition-related contingent obligations” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current and future changes in its fair value results from the likelihood and timing of milestone achievement and/or the corresponding discount rate applied thereon. Adjustments to Ligand Contingent Consideration fair value are recognized within “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

10. OUT-LICENSE OF MARQIBO, ZEVALIN, & C-E MELPHALAN IN CHINA TERRITORY

Overview of CASI Out-License

On September 17, 2014, we executed three product out-license agreements with a perpetual term (collectively, the “CASI Out-License”) with CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CASI”), a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company (NASDAQ: CASI) with a primary focus on the China market. Under the CASI Out-License, we granted CASI the exclusive rights to distribute two of our commercialized oncology drugs, ZEVALIN and MARQIBO, and our Phase 3 drug candidate, C-E MELPHALAN (“CASI Out-Licensed Products”) in greater China (which includes Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau). In return, we received CASI equity for the rights related to ZEVALIN and C-E MELPHALAN and a secured promissory note for the rights related to MARQIBO. Additionally, for a period ending upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which CASI has raised, in the aggregate, $50 million in net proceeds through capital raising activities or (ii) September 17, 2019 (subject to certain extensions), we have a contingent right to receive additional CASI equity in order to maintain our post-investment ownership percentage if CASI issues securities (subject to a limited exception for certain equity compensation grants).

CASI will be responsible for the development and commercialization of these three drugs, including the submission of import drug registration applications to regulatory authorities and conducting any confirmatory clinical studies in greater China. We have agreed to act as CASI’s procurement agent for their future commercial supply of the CASI Out-Licensed Products on a cost-plus basis, under typical market terms.

Proceeds Received

The proceeds we received, and its fair value on the CASI Out-License execution date, consisted of the following:

 

CASI common stock (a) (5.4 million shares)

   $  8,649   

CASI secured promissory note due March 17, 2016, net of fair value discount (b) ($1.5 million face value and 0.5% annual coupon)

     1,310   
  

 

 

 

Total consideration received

   $ 9,959   
  

 

 

 

 

(a) Value determined based on the September 17, 2014 closing price of 5.4 million shares of CASI common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market of $1.60 per share.
(b) Present value estimated using the terms of the $1.5 million promissory note, and the application of a synthetic debt rating based on CASI’s publicly-available financial information, and the prevailing interest yields on similar public debt securities as of September 17, 2014.

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)

(Unaudited)

 

In addition, CASI will be responsible for paying any royalties or milestones that we are obligated to pay to our third-party licensors resulting from the achievement of certain milestones and/or sales of CASI Out-Licensed Products, but only to the extent of the greater China portion of such royalties or milestones.

Recognition of Proceeds – License Fee Revenue

The $10.1 million (undiscounted) value of the upfront proceeds that we received from CASI will be recognized within “license fees and service revenue” through the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The value assigned for each of these products was based on the number of CASI shares issued, or the promissory note issued, as consideration under each of the three separately negotiated out-license agreements.

 

11. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

We entered into a credit agreement on September 5, 2012 with Bank of America, N.A, as the administrative agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A, as an initial lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided us with a committed $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was repaid in full, then immediately terminated, on December 20, 2013 in connection with the sale and issuance of our 2018 Convertible Notes (see Note 12).

The Credit Facility bore interest, at our election, at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR), plus an applicable margin (2.75% to 4.25%, dependent on a defined liquidity ratio). An unused line fee was payable quarterly in an amount ranging from 0.38% to 0.63%.

 

12. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On December 17, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the sale of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Notes”). The 2018 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 95 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Convertible Notes, totaling 11.4 million common shares if fully converted. The in-the-money conversion price is equivalent to $10.53 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain limited circumstances. The 2018 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2014. The 2018 Convertible Notes will mature and become payable on December 15, 2018, subject to earlier conversion into common stock at the holders’ option.

The sale of the 2018 Convertible Notes closed on December 23, 2013 and our net proceeds were $115.4 million, after deducting banker and professional fees of $4.6 million. We used a portion of these net proceeds to simultaneously enter into “bought call” and “sold warrant” transactions with Royal Bank of Canada (collectively, the “Note Hedge”). We recorded the Note Hedge on a net cost basis of $13.1 million, as a reduction to “additional paid-in capital” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under applicable GAAP, the Note Hedge transaction is not expected to be marked-to-market through earnings or comprehensive income in future reported periods.

We entered into Note Hedge transactions to reduce the potential dilution to our stockholders and/or offset any cash payments that we are required to make in excess of the principal amount, upon conversion of the 2018 Convertible Notes (in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the conversion price). The strike price of the “bought call” is equal to the conversion price and conversion rate of the 2018 Convertible Notes, matching the 11.4 million common shares the 2018 Convertible Notes may be converted into. The strike price of our “sold warrant” is $14.03 per share of our common stock, and is also for 11.4 million common shares.

Prior to June 15, 2018, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2018 Convertible Notes only under any of the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that measurement period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Convertible Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of (i) the

last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day and (ii) the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions; and (4) at any time prior to our stockholders’ approval to settle the 2018 Convertible Notes in our common shares and/or cash. On and after June 15, 2018 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2018 Convertible Notes at any time.

As of September 30, 2014, the 2018 Convertible Notes are eligible to be converted into common stock, based on element (4) above being met, since our stockholders’ approval of this flexible settlement feature has not yet occurred.

We initially may only settle conversions of the 2018 Convertible Notes by delivering shares of our common stock. However, if we obtain stockholder approval, we may, at our election, settle conversions of the 2018 Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

The carrying value of the 2018 Convertible Notes as of September 30, 2014 is summarized as follows:

13. MUNDIPHARMA AGREEMENT

As the result of our acquisition of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. on September 5, 2012 (through which we obtained distribution rights for FOLOTYN), we assumed its obligations under an active strategic collaboration agreement with a third-party, Mundipharma (the “Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement”). Under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we retained full commercialization rights for FOLOTYN in the U.S. and Canada, with Mundipharma having exclusive rights to commercialize FOLOTYN in all other countries in the world (the “Mundipharma Territories”).

On May 29, 2013, the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement was amended and restated (the “Amended Munipharma Collaboration Agreement”), in order to modify: (i) the scope of the licensed territory, (ii) milestone payments, (iii) royalty rates, and (iv) drug development obligations. In connection with the Amended Munipharma Collaboration Agreement, we received a one-time $7.0 million payment from Mundipharma for certain research and development activities to be performed by us.

As a result of the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, (a) Europe and Turkey were excluded from Mundipharma’s commercialization territory, (b) we may receive regulatory milestone payments of up to $16.0 million, and commercial progress and sales-dependent milestone payments of up to $107.0 million, (c) we will receive tiered double-digit royalties based on net sales of FOLOTYN within Mundipharma’s licensed territories, and (d) we and Mundipharma will bear our own FOLOTYN development costs.

We recorded the initial September 2012 fair value of the related drug development liability of $12.3 million, using the discounted cash flow method of the income approach. The fair value of this liability was determined to be $16.4 million as of September 30, 2014 (inclusive of the $7.0 million payment received from Mundipharma). This value is included in the

current and long-term portions of “drug development liability” within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and it includes our assumptions about personnel needed to perform these research and development activities, third party costs for projected clinical trial enrollment, and patient treatment-related follow up through approximately 2031.

We will assess this liability at each subsequent reporting date and record its adjustment through “research and development” expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Facility Leases

We lease our principal executive office in Henderson, Nevada under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring April 30, 2019. We also lease our research and development facility in Irvine, California under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring May 31, 2019, in addition to several other administrative office leases. Each lease agreement contains scheduled rent increases which are accounted for on a straight-line basis.

(b) Licensing Agreements, Co-Development Agreements, and Milestone Payments

Our drug candidates are being developed pursuant to license agreements that provide us with territory-specific rights to its manufacture, sublicense, and sale. We are generally responsible for all development costs, patent filings and maintenance costs, sales and marketing costs, and liability insurance costs. We are also obligated to make certain milestone payments to third parties upon the achievement of regulatory and sales milestones that are specified in these license agreements. We estimate and present a corresponding liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when amounts are probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we are obligated to pay royalties based on our current and future net sales of in-licensed products.

Our most significant of these agreements are listed and summarized below:

(i) ZEVALIN U.S.: Licensing and development in the U.S.

In December 2008, we acquired rights to commercialize and develop ZEVALIN in the U.S. as the result of a transaction with a third-party, Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (“CTI”) through our wholly-owned subsidiary, RIT Oncology LLC (“RIT”). We assumed certain agreements with various third parties related to ZEVALIN intellectual property related to its manufacture, use, and sale in the U.S.

In accordance with the terms of assumed contracts, we are required to meet specified payment obligations, including a milestone payment to Corixa Corporation of $5.0 million based on ZEVALIN sales in the U.S. (the “Corixa Liability”). This milestone has not yet been met, and $0.1 million for this potential milestone achievement is included within “acquisition-related contingent obligations” in our accompanying September 30, 2014 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our U.S. net sales-based royalties are in the low to mid-single digits to Genentech, Inc. and mid-single digits to Corixa.

(ii) ZEVALIN Ex-U.S.: License and Asset Purchase Agreement with Bayer Pharma

In April 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Cayman, L.P., we completed the acquisition of licensing rights to market ZEVALIN outside of the U.S. from Bayer Pharma AG (“Bayer”). ZEVALIN is currently approved in more than 40 countries outside the U.S. for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including countries in Europe, Latin America and Asia.

(Unaudited)

 

In consideration for the rights granted under the agreement, concurrent with the closing, we paid Bayer a one-time fee of €19.0 million. Our ex-U.S. net sales-based royalty to Bayer ranges between the single digits to mid-teens. Unless earlier terminated, the term of the agreement continues until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent covering the sale of a licensed product in the relevant country, or 15 years from the date of first commercial sale of the licensed product in such country, whichever is longer.

(iii) FUSILEV: Amended and Restated License Agreement with Merck & Cie AG

In May 2006, we amended and restated a license agreement with Merck & Cie AG (“Merck”), which we assumed in connection with our March 2006 acquisition of the assets of Targent. Pursuant to the license agreement with Merck, we obtained the exclusive license to use regulatory filings related to FUSILEV and a non-exclusive license under certain patents and know-how to develop, manufacture, use, and sell FUSILEV in the field of oncology in North America in return for a royalty percentage (in the mid-single digits) of net sales. Merck is eligible to receive a $0.2 million payment from us upon the achievement of a FDA approval of an oral form of FUSILEV. This milestone has not yet been met, and no such value is included within “total liabilities” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for its potential achievement.

(iv) FOLOTYN: License Agreement with Sloan-Kettering Institute, SRI International and Southern Research Institute

In December 2002, Allos entered into the FOLOTYN License Agreement with Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, SRI International, and Southern Research Institute. As a result of Allos becoming our wholly owned subsidiary in September 2012, we are bound by the FOLOTYN License Agreement under which we obtained exclusive worldwide rights to a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to FOLOTYN and its uses. Under the terms of the FOLOTYN License Agreement, we are required to fund all development programs and will have sole responsibility for all commercialization activities. In addition, we pay graduated royalties to our licensors based on our (including sub licensees) worldwide annual net sales of FOLOTYN. Royalties are 8% of annual worldwide net sales up to $150 million; 9% of annual worldwide net sales of $150 million through $300 million; and 11% of annual worldwide net sales in excess of $300 million.

(v) C-E MELPHALAN: License Agreement with Cydex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of exclusive global development and commercialization rights to
C-E MELPHALAN from Ligand (see Note 9(b)). In April 2014, we reported that C-E MELPHALAN had met its primary endpoint in a pivotal trial for use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant for patients with multiple myeloma, and as a result, we intend to file a NDA with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2014.

We assumed full responsibility for its ongoing clinical and regulatory development program. We are required to pay Ligand additional amounts of up to $66 million, upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones and net sales thresholds, which we have valued at $4.3 million and $4.0 million within “acquisition-related contingent obligations” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We will also pay royalties in the range of 15% to 25% on our net sales of licensed products in all territories.

(vi) MARQIBO: Agreement with Talon Therapeutics, Inc.

In July 2013, we completed the acquisition of Talon, through which we obtained exclusive global development and commercialization rights to MARQIBO (see Note 9(a)). As part of this acquisition, we issued the former Talon stockholders contingent value rights (“CVR”) that we have valued and presented on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a $5.8 million and $4.3 million liability within “acquisition-related contingent obligations” as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The CVR has a maximum payout of $195 million if all sales and regulatory approval milestones are achieved.

(vii) APAZIQUONE: In-License Agreement with Allergan, Inc.

In October 2008, we entered into an exclusive development and commercialization collaboration agreement with Allergan for APAZIQUONE. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Allergan paid us an up-front non-refundable fee of $41.5 million at closing (which we have amortized through revenue within “license fees and service revenue” in full as of December 31, 2013).

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)

(Unaudited)

 

In January 2013, we entered into a second amendment to the license, development, supply and distribution agreement with Allergan to amend the agreement and reacquire the rights originally licensed to Allergan in the U.S., Europe, and other territories in exchange for a tiered single-digit royalty on certain products containing APAZIQUONE, and relieved Allergan of its development and commercialization obligations.

As a result of this amendment to the agreement, Allergan has no remaining obligations to us. We will be obligated to pay Allergan a tiered single-digit royalty not to exceed mid-single digits based upon our net sales of certain products containing APAZIQUONE in specified territories. Additionally, we will be obligated to pay any royalties or other payments due to certain licensors of underlying intellectual property, as well as to provide indemnification of Allergan for claims arising from the manufacture, development, or commercialization of pharmaceutical products containing APAZIQUONE by us.

(viii) APAZIQUONE: Collaboration Agreement with Nippon Kayaku Co. LTD.

In November 2009, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Nippon Kayaku Co., LTD. (“Nippon Kayaku”) for the development and commercialization of APAZIQUONE in Asia, except North and South Korea (the “Nippon Kayaku Territory”). In addition, Nippon Kayaku received exclusive rights to APAZIQUONE for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer in Asia (other than North and South Korea), including Japan and China. Nippon Kayaku will conduct APAZIQUONE clinical trials in the Nippon Kayaku Territory pursuant to a development plan. Further, Nippon Kayaku will be responsible for all expenses relating to the development and commercialization of APAZIQUONE in the Nippon Kayaku Territory.

Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, Nippon Kayaku paid us an upfront fee of $15.0 million (which we have amortized through revenue within “license fees and service revenue” in full as of December 31, 2013). Nippon Kayaku is also obligated to make additional payments to us based on the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. Under the terms of the agreement, we are entitled to payment of $10 million and $126 million upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercialization milestones, respectively. Also, Nippon Kayaku has agreed to pay us royalties based on a percentage of net sales of the subject products in the defined territory in the mid-teen digits.

Our license agreement with Nippon Kayaku provides for payments to us upon the achievement of development milestones, such as the completion of clinical trials or regulatory submissions, approvals by health authorities, and commercial launches of drug candidates. Given the challenges inherent in developing and obtaining approval for drug products and in achieving commercial launches, there was substantial uncertainty whether any such milestones would be achieved at the time of execution of such license agreement. Such revenue will only be recognized if/when such milestones are achieved.

(ix) BELEODAQ: Licensing and Collaboration Agreement with TopoTarget

In February 2010, we entered into a licensing and collaboration agreement with TopoTarget A/S (now Onxeo DK) (“TopoTarget”), as amended in October 2013, for the development and commercialization of BELEODAQ. The agreement provides that we have the exclusive right to manufacture, develop, and commercialize BELEODAQ in North America and India, with an option for China. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we paid TopoTarget an upfront fee of $30.0 million in 2010.

Under continuing terms, all development, including studies, will be conducted under a joint development plan, which we will fund 70% of such costs, and TopoTarget will fund 30%. We have final decision-making authority for all developmental activities in North America and India (and China upon exercise of its option). TopoTarget has final decision-making authority for all developmental activities in all other jurisdictions.

In February 2014, upon FDA acceptance of our new drug application, we issued 1.0 million shares of our common stock, and made a $10.0 million milestone payment to TopoTarget. The aggregate payout value of this first milestone at achievement was $17.8 million, and is recognized within “research and development” of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

(Unaudited)

 

In July 2014, we received approval from the FDA for BELEODAQ’s use for injection for the treatment of PTCL, and as a result, we are obligated to TopoTarget for a second milestone payment of $25.0 million in November 2014. As of September 30, 2014, this amount is included within “accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other potential milestone payments due upon BELEODAQ regulatory achievements and sales thresholds (aggregating $278.0 million) are not included within “total liabilities” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We will pay TopoTarget future royalties in the mid-teen digits based on net sales of BELEODAQ in the defined territory. The agreement will continue until the expiration of the last royalty payment period in the last country in the defined territory with certain provisions surviving, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

(x) SPI-2012: Co-Development and Commercialization Agreement with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Company

In January 2012, we entered into a co-development and commercialization agreement with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Company, (“Hanmi”), for SPI-2012, formerly known as “LAPS-GCSF”, a drug for the treatment of chemotherapy induced neutropenia based on Hanmi’s proprietary LAPSCOVERY™ Technology, at which time we paid Hanmi $1.0 million. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended in March 2014, we will share the expenses of this study, and we continue to have primary responsibility for the SPI-2012 development plan. If SPI-2012 is ultimately commercialized by us, we will have worldwide rights, except for Korea, China, and Japan upon our payment of agreed-upon fees to Hanmi. We will also be responsible for milestone payments related to SPI-2012 regulatory approvals and sales thresholds.

(c) Service Agreements

In connection with the research and development of our drug products, we have entered into contracts with numerous third party service providers, such as radio-pharmacies, distributors, clinical trial centers, clinical research organizations, data monitoring centers, and with drug formulation, development and testing laboratories. The financial terms of these agreements are varied and generally obligate us to pay in stages, depending on achievement of certain events specified in the agreements, such as contract execution, reservation of service or production capacity, actual performance of service, or the successful accrual and dosing of patients.

At each period end, we accrue for all services received, with such accruals based on factors such as estimates of work performed, patient enrollment, completion of patient studies and other events. Should we decide to discontinue and/or slow-down the work on any project, the associated costs for those projects would be limited to the extent of the work completed. Generally, we are able to terminate these contracts due to the discontinuance of the related project(s) and thus avoid paying for the services that have not yet been rendered.

(d) Supply Agreements

We have entered into certain supply agreements, or have issued purchase orders, which require us to make minimum purchases from vendors for the manufacture of our products. These commitments do not exceed our planned commercial requirements (except for certain amounts accrued for within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and the contracted prices do not exceed their fair market value.

(e) Employment Agreement

We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer under which cash compensation and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by us for any reason other than cause, his resignation for good reason, or upon a change in control of our Company.

(f) Deferred Compensation Plan

The Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DC Plan”) is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The DC Plan is maintained to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of our employees (the “DC Participants”). Under the DC Plan, we provide the DC Participants with the opportunity to make annual elections to defer up to a specified amount or percentage of their eligible cash compensation, and we have the option to make discretionary contributions. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, DC Plan deferrals and contributions totaling $4.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively, are included within “other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(g) Litigation

We are involved from time-to-time with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a pharmaceutical business, and may include product liability, intellectual property, employment matters, and other general claims.

We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

We are presently responding to Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) filed by companies seeking to launch generic forms of FUSILEV and FOLOTYN, respectively, and to certain shareholder suits that purportedly stem from our March 12, 2013 press release, in which we announced anticipated changes in customer ordering patterns of FUSILEV. These complaints allege that, as a result of the March 12, 2013 press release, our stock price declined.

FUSILEV ANDA Litigation

On January 20, 2012, March 2, 2012, and June 18, 2014, respectively, we filed suit against Sandoz Inc. and Innopharma Inc., and Ben Venue Laboratories, Inc., respectively, following Paragraph IV certifications in connection with their filing separate ANDAs, to manufacture a generic version of FUSILEV. We filed the lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the Districts of Nevada and Delaware seeking to enjoin the approval of their ANDAs plus recovery of our litigation fees and costs incurred in such matters. On December 9, 2013, three Mylan entities collaborating with Innopharma were joined to Innopharma case. A trial date of January 12, 2015 has been set in the Sandoz case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada and the other trial dates in the FUSILEV litigation have not been set yet. While we believe our patent rights are strong, the ultimate outcome of these cases is uncertain.

FOLOTYN ANDA Litigation

On June 19, 2014, we filed a lawsuit against five parties resulting from Paragraph IV certifications in connection with four separate ANDAs to manufacture a generic version of FOLOTYN: (1) Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., (2) Sandoz Inc., (3) Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC, and (4) Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd., and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. We filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware seeking to enjoin the approval of their ANDAs plus recovery of our litigation fees and costs. A trial date of September 12, 2016 has been set in the FOLOTYN lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. While we believe our patent rights are strong, the ultimate outcome of such action is uncertain.

Shareholder Litigation

John Perry v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. (Filed March 14, 2013 in United States District Court, District of Nevada; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00433-LDG-CWH. This putative consolidated class action raises substantially identical claims and allegations against defendants Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Dr. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, Brett L. Scott, and Joseph Kenneth Keller. The alleged class period is August 8, 2012 to March 12, 2013. The lawsuits allege a violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against all defendants and control person liability, as a violation of Section 20(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, against the individual defendants. The claims purportedly stem from the Company’s March 12, 2013 press release, in which it announced that it anticipated a change in ordering patterns of FUSILEV. The complaints allege that, as a result of the March 12, 2013 press release, the Company’s stock price declined. The complaints further allege that during the putative class period certain defendants made misleadingly optimistic statements about FUSILEV sales, which inflated the trading price of Company stock. The lawsuits seek relief in the form of monetary damages, costs and fees, and any other equitable or injunctive relief that the court deems appropriate. On March 21, 2014, the Court entered an order appointing Arkansas Teacher Retirement System as lead plaintiff. On May 20, 2014, Arkansas Teacher Retirement System filed a consolidated amended class action complaint. On July 18, 2014, we filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended class action complaint. On September 19, 2014, Arkansas Teacher Retirement System filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss. On October 17, 2014, we filed a reply in support of our motion to dismiss.

Timothy Fik v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed April 11, 2013 in United States District Court, District of Nevada; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00624-JCM-CWH); Christopher J. Watkins v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed April 22, 2013 in United States District Court, District of Nevada; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00684-JCM-VCF); and Stefan Muenchhagen v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed May 28, 2013 in United States District Court, District of Nevada; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00942-APG-PAL). These derivative complaints are brought by the respective purported shareholders on behalf of nominal plaintiff Spectrum against certain current and former directors and officers. The complaints generally allege breaches of fiduciary based on conduct relating to the events alleged in the consolidated Perry action. The complaints seek compensatory damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution and disgorgement of defendants’ alleged profits, and costs and fees. These actions are stayed pending resolution of the federal securities class action.

Hardik Kakadia v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed April 23, 2013 in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for Clark County; Case Number A-13-680643-B); and Joel Besner v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed May 31, 2013 in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for Clark County; Case Number A-13-682668-C) (collectively the “State Derivative Actions”). These consolidated State Derivative Actions are brought by the respective purported shareholders on behalf of nominal plaintiff Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and are substantially similar to the consolidated federal derivative actions. These actions are stayed pending resolution of the federal securities class action.

(h) SEC Subpoena

On April 1, 2013, we received a subpoena from the SEC for documents pursuant to a formal order of investigation. The subpoena followed our March 12, 2013 announcement that we anticipated a change in customer ordering patterns of FUSILEV. We continue to cooperate with this SEC investigation, though we cannot predict its outcome, or the timing of resolution.

(i) Notice from HRSA

We received a notice on October 10, 2014 from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, Office of Pharmacy Affairs (“HRSA”). In this notice the HRSA asserts that for at least one of our products with an “orphan drug” designation under section 526 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, we did not make the product(s) available for purchase, at the applicable 340B price; as a result, the notice asserts that we have certain undefined amounts due to Covered Entities (see below) based on our previously made and reported product sales.

The 340B price is a discounted price for covered outpatient drugs that manufacturers participating in Medicaid (which includes us) agree to make available to certain providers that participate in the 340B drug discount program (“Covered Entities”). We continue to investigate this matter in order to properly respond to HRSA. Nonetheless, we believe that our pricing to Covered Entities has complied with all applicable legal requirements. Since we only make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we have not recorded a liability for this pending matter as of September 30, 2014.

 

15. INCOME TAXES

We apply an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods, as required under GAAP. We recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.3 million and a $10.2 million benefit for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our ETR differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and the impact of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. In addition, in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we expensed approximately $1.5 million related to the correction of our prior year estimates of carryback of federal net operating losses, book tax differences on acquisition-related liabilities, and credit ineligible for offset against federal income taxes.

Our provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and credit carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not the future realization of all or some of the deferred tax assets will not be achieved. The evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance is performed on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, and includes a review of all available positive and negative evidence.

We recognize excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation to stockholders’ equity only when realized. When assessing whether excess tax benefits relating to share-based compensation have been realized, we follow the with-and-without approach, excluding any indirect effects of the excess tax deductions. Under this approach, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation are not deemed to be realized until after the utilization of all other tax benefits available to us. We recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be reflected in income tax expense.

Company Overview

We are a biotechnology company, with a primary focus on oncology and hematology. Our strategy is comprised of the (i) commercialization of cancer therapeutics through our U.S. direct sales force and international distributors, (ii) completion of studies for new indications of our marketed products, and (iii) acquiring and developing a diverse pipeline of late-stage drug compounds for commercialization.

We currently market five drugs:

 

    FUSILEV® injection for patients in the U.S. with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer and to counteract certain side effects of methotrexate therapy;

 

    ZEVALIN® injection for patients in the U.S. and various international markets with follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma;

 

    FOLOTYN® injection for patients in the U.S. with relapsed or refractory PTCL;

 

    MARQIBO® injection for patients in the U.S. with relapsed Philadelphia chromosome–negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia; and

 

    BELEODAQ® injection for patients in the U.S. with relapsed or refractory PTCL (launched in July 2014).

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is comprised of the following three initiatives:

 

    Maximizing the revenue potential of our five currently-marketed drugs for the treatment of cancer.

Our near-term outlook largely depends on sales and marketing successes for our five marketed drugs. It is this base business, along with potential additional indications for these drugs, that provides the working capital needed to operate our daily business and provides the necessary capital for opportunistic acquisitions.

 

    Developing and commercializing the drugs for the treatment of cancer within our pipeline.

Our strategy for our development portfolio is to focus on late-stage development drugs. We strive to complete clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of these drugs in order to obtain regulatory approval in a timely manner. Upon obtaining approval, our sales and marketing function educates physicians on the safety of the drug and its effectiveness in treating patients for the approved indication, with the goal of achieving maximum commercial success.

    Expanding our pipeline of development-stage and commercial-stage drugs through business development activities.

It is our goal to identify new strategic opportunities that are synergistic with our currently-marketed drugs. We will continue to (i) explore strategic collaborations as they relate to drugs that are either in clinical trials or are currently on the market, and (ii) identify and secure drugs that have significant growth potential – through enhanced marketing and sales efforts and/or through pursuit of additional clinical development. We may also identify and pursue partnerships for out-licensing certain of our drugs in development.

Recent Highlights in Our Business, Product Development Initiatives, and Regulatory Approvals

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we accomplished various critical objectives for our business, which included:

 

    Commercial: Product sales for the quarter surpassed $40 million for the fifth consecutive quarter.

 

    Medical: In July 2014, we received FDA approval of BELEODAQ for patients in the U.S. with relapsed or refractory PTCL. PTCL comprises of a group of rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (“NHL”) that develop from mature T-cells and accounts for approximately 10%-15% of all NHL cases in the U.S. These patients generally have poor prognosis with a low response rate (25%-27%) to available treatment options, and commonly experience repeated treatment failures until drug resistance or death. Accordingly, we believe this drug addresses an important unmet medical need for improved treatment options of PTCL patients.

In April 2014 we reported positive data from the pivotal study of C-E MELPHALAN, with an expected NDA filing by the end of 2014.

Following positive Phase 2 clinical results of SPI-2012, we made a decision to begin Phase 3 clinical trials.

Product sales, net. Gross product sales are reduced by estimated provisions for product returns, sales discounts and rebates, distribution and data fees, and estimates for chargebacks (“GTN adjustments”) established as of each period to arrive at presented “product sales, net”.

FUSILEV revenue increase is primarily due to an increase in unit sales to our wholesalers to satisfy end-user demand.

FOLOTYN revenue increase is due to an increase in unit sales to our wholesalers to satisfy end-user demand, as well as a higher net realized price per unit.

ZEVALIN revenue decrease is due to depressed unit demand by end-users in the U.S. and ex-U.S., as compared to the prior year period.

MARQIBO revenue increase is a result of a full quarter’s sales in 2014, as compared to the prior year period, as our acquisition of Talon closed in July 2013, and the MARQIBO launch was in September 2013. In addition, in the current period we modified the timing of our revenue recognition model for this product from end-user receipt to wholesaler receipt, based on sufficient history of MARQIBO customer returns which provided a reasonable basis to estimate expected returns. This change had a one-time $0.4 million favorable impact in 2014 (i.e., representing units that had been shipped to our wholesalers in the second quarter of 2014 and earlier periods, but such revenue had been deferred through June 30, 2014).

BELEODAQ revenue derived in the current period is a result of our July 2014 launch of this product.

License fees and service revenue. In the third quarter of 2014, we recognized $0.1 million from our out-license royalties, all derived from FOLOTYN sales in Mundipharma’s (our co-development partner – see Note 13) territories. In the prior year period, we recognized $1.0 million from the amortization of deferred revenue that corresponded with our contracted research and development services. This revenue was associated with an aggregate of $15.0 million upfront payment we received from Nippon Kayaku in 2010, as discussed in Note 14(b)(viii). As of December 31, 2013, these upfront payments were recognized through “license fees and service revenue” in full, and accordingly, did not recur in 2014.

Cost of Product Sales. Despite our large increase in product sales, net, in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 2013, our cost of product sales decreased 20.7%. This is primarily due to our product sales mix in the current period.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to the non-recurrence of approximately $4.3 million in such expenses related to the Talon acquisition that occurred in the third quarter of 2013 (see Note 9 (a)), which was partially offset by an increase in personnel related expenses as we continue to build our sales team and enhance supporting administrative functions.

Research and Development. Research and development expense modestly increased due to our on-going clinical and product development activities, partially offset by costs that are reimbursable by our co-development partners.

Amortization and Impairment of Intangible Assets. The amortization and impairment of intangible assets increased during the period as we commenced amortization of our BELEODAQ distribution rights in the third quarter of 2014.

Total Other Expenses. Total other expenses increased by $4.6 million and was primarily due to (i) $1.8 million increase in interest expense attributable to our convertible senior notes issued in December 2013; (ii) $0.2 million increase to our “acquisition-related contingent obligations” liability to the former shareholders of Talon and Ligand, which resulted in an equal charge to our “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions”; and (iii) $3.9 million unrealized loss from intercompany borrowings in which our subsidiary’s functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar. These amounts were partially offset by a $2.2 million gain on our sale of certain stock holdings during the third quarter 2014.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. Our current period provision for income taxes primarily represents the correction of our prior year estimate of the benefit from the carryback of our 2013 federal net operating loss against 2012 taxes, the elimination of the benefit of estimated 2014 federal tax losses eligible for carryback to 2012, and an increase in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at January 1, 2014.

Product sales, net. Gross product sales are reduced by estimated provisions for product returns, sales discounts and rebates, distribution and data fees, and estimates for chargebacks established as of each period to arrive at presented “product sales, net.”

FUSILEV revenue increase is primarily due to (i) an increase in our average net price per unit as a result of certain non-recurring GTN adjustments in the current period, and (ii) an increase in unit sales to our wholesalers to satisfy end-user demand.

 

39


Table of Contents

FOLOTYN revenue increase is due to an increase in unit sales to satisfy end-user demand, as well as a $1.0 million purchase by a new wholesaler in the first half of 2014. This large purchase resulted from the modification of our FOLOTYN distribution model and the resulting additional purchase by this wholesaler to fulfill anticipated end-user demand.

ZEVALIN revenue decrease is due to depressed unit demand for U.S. sales, partially offset by an U.S. and Ex-U.S. increase in our average net sales price per unit between these periods.

MARQIBO revenue increase is a result of our acquisition of Talon in July 2013 (and its launch in late September 2013), as discussed in Note 9(a). In addition, in the current period we modified the timing of our revenue recognition model for this product from end-user receipt to wholesaler receipt, based on sufficient history of MARQIBO customer returns which provided a reasonable basis to estimate expected returns. This change had a one-time $0.4 million favorable impact in 2014 (i.e., representing units that had been shipped to our wholesalers in the second quarter of 2014 and earlier periods, but such revenue had been deferred through June 30, 2014).

BELEODAQ revenue derived in 2014 is a result of our July launch of this product.

License fees and service revenue. In the current period, we recognized $0.1 million from our out-license royalties, all derived from FOLOTYN sales in Mundipharma’s (our co-development partner –see Note 13) territories. In the first nine months of 2013, we recognized $11.3 million from the amortization of deferred revenue that corresponded with our contracted research and development services. This revenue is associated with a $41.5 million upfront payment we received from Allergan in 2008, and an aggregate of $15.0 million upfront payment we received from Nippon Kayaku in 2010. As of December 31, 2013, these upfront payments have been recognized through “license fees and service revenue” in full, and accordingly, did not recur in 2014.

Cost of Product Sales. Despite our large increase in product sales, net, in the first nine months of 2014 as compared to 2013, our cost of product sales decreased 14.8%. This result was primarily driven by an unusually large excess inventory charge for FUSILEV in 2013, and certain royalty adjustments for in-license contract amendments.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to:

 

  (i) $1.7 million increase in personnel-related expenses as we continue to build our sales and marketing team;

 

  (ii) $1.7 million increase in travel related expenses to support our sales growth;

 

  (iii) $1.2 million increase in marketing expenses to support our sales growth;

 

  (iv) $0.6 million increase in expense for intellectual property matters and various legal services; and

 

40


Table of Contents
  (v) $0.7 million related to enhancements to our administrative capabilities and functions.

The increase in these expenses is partially offset by the non-recurrence of $5.0 million of Talon acquisition expenses, incurred in the first half of 2013.

Research and Development. Research and development expense increase is primarily due to an aggregate $17.8 million from cash payment and stock issuance to TopoTarget, upon the February 2014 contractual milestone achievement represented by the acceptance by the FDA of our new drug application (NDA) for the PTCL indication of BELEODAQ.

Amortization and Impairment of Intangible Assets. The amortization and impairment of intangible assets increased $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to the amortization of definite-lived intangible assets from the acquisition of Talon in July 2013 (through which we acquired MARQIBO distribution rights) and the amortization of the distribution rights related to the licensing agreement with TopoTarget.

Total Other Expenses. Total other expenses increased by $9.8 million and was primarily due to (i) $4.9 million increase in interest expense attributable to our convertible senior notes issued in December 2013; (ii) $1.9 million increase to our “acquisition-related contingent obligations” liability to the former shareholders of Talon and Ligand in the current period, which resulted in an equal charge to our “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions”; (iii) $4.5 million unrealized loss from intercompany borrowings in which our subsidiary’s functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar. These amounts were partially offset by a $2.2 million gain on our sale of certain stock holdings during the third quarter 2014.

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $10.0 million in the prior year period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our cash collections from customers totaled $179.8 million and $174.5 million, respectively, representing 133% and 153% of reported net revenue for the same years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, cash payments to our employees and vendors for products, services, chargebacks, and rebates totaled $197.0 million and $191.4 million, respectively.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities of $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2014 was due to $4.1 million of proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities, partially offset by $0.8 million of purchases related to property, plant and equipment.

Net Cash Provided by (Used In) Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2014 relates to $1.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercise of employee stock options, and $0.3 million of proceeds from employee stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan. These amounts were partially offset by a $0.7 million purchase and retirement at vesting of restricted stock at our employees’ election to fund corresponding minimum employee tax obligations.

Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018

On December 17, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the sale of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Notes”). The 2018 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 95 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Convertible Notes, totaling 11.4 million common shares if fully converted. The in-the-money conversion price is equivalent to $10.53 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment under certain limited circumstances. Initially, we may only settle conversions of the 2018 Convertible Notes by delivering shares of our common stock. However, if we obtain stockholder approval in accordance with applicable NASDAQ rules, we may then settle conversions of the 2018 Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares, at our election.

The 2018 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2014. The 2018 Convertible Notes will mature and become payable on December 15, 2018, subject to earlier conversion into common stock at the holders’ option.

The sale of the 2018 Convertible Notes closed on December 23, 2013 and our net proceeds were $115.4 million, after deducting banker and professional fees of $4.6 million. We used a portion of these proceeds to simultaneously enter into “bought call” and “sold warrant” transactions with Royal Bank of Canada (collectively, the “Note Hedge”). We recorded the Note Hedge on a net cost basis of $13.1 million, as a reduction to “additional paid-in capital” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under applicable GAAP, the Note Hedge transaction is not expected to be marked-to-market through earnings or comprehensive income in future reporting periods.

Retired Credit Facility

On September 5, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent and an initial lender and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as an initial lender (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided us with a committed $50.0 million revolving line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was to expire on September 5, 2014, but was repaid in full and cancelled by us on December 20, 2013.

Future Capital Requirements

We believe that the future growth of our business will depend on our ability to successfully develop and acquire new drugs for the treatment of cancer and successfully bring these drugs to market.

The timing and amount of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

    the need for additional capital to fund future development programs;

 

    the need for additional capital to fund strategic acquisitions;

 

    the need for additional capital to fund licensing arrangements;

 

    our requirement for additional information technology infrastructure and systems; and

 

    adverse outcomes from potential litigation and the cost to defend such litigation.

We believe that our $147.5 million in aggregate cash and equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2014, will allow us to fund our current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months. We may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, if necessary, especially in conjunction with opportunistic acquisitions or licensing arrangements.

We may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (except for operating leases) that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support, or involve derivatives. In addition, we have no arrangements that may expose us to liability that are not expressly reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and/or notes thereto.

As of September 30, 2014, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as “structured finance” or “special purpose entities,” established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not subject to any material financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. We do not utilize hedging contracts or similar instruments. Because of our ability to generally redeem these investments at par at short notice and without penalty, changes in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on the fair value of these investments. If a 10% change in interest rates were to have occurred on September 30, 2014, any decline in the fair value of our investments would not be material in the context of our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we are exposed to certain market risks associated with credit ratings of corporations whose corporate bonds we may purchase from time to time. If these companies were to experience a significant detrimental change in their credit ratings, the fair market value of such corporate bonds may significantly decrease. If these companies were to default on these corporate bonds, we may lose part, or all, of our principal. We believe that we effectively manage this market risk by diversifying our investments, and investing in highly rated securities.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to payments we make to vendors, suppliers and license partners using foreign currencies. In particular, some of our obligations are incurred in Euros. We mitigate such risk by maintaining a limited portion of our cash in Euros and other currencies.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of the material weakness discussed below.

 

44


Table of Contents

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As of December 31, 2013, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as evaluated under the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992 framework). As part of this conclusion, our management determined that we had ineffective design and operating effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This “material weakness” conclusion specifically pertained to the accurate and timely reporting of our operating expense accruals which comprised (i) the ineffective design and operation of controls over our process of estimating the required period-end accruals for services performed under open purchase orders, which resulted in overstated operating expenses and accrued liabilities in multiple reporting periods in, and prior to, 2013; and (ii) ineffective design and operation of controls over our identification and recording of liabilities for vendor invoices received subsequent to year-end that related to our 2013 activities. The remediation of these matters will not be completed and concluded upon until management’s next annual assessment as of December 31, 2014, thus this material weakness remained as of September 30, 2014.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding our continued material weakness, we have concluded that the financial statements and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented.

Except as disclosed below, no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation Steps to Address Material Weakness

We have developed, and are currently implementing, a remediation plan for this material weakness. We will continue to execute our previously communicated remediation plan, which includes hiring additional experienced accounting personnel and expanding training for our accounting personnel, as well as modifying and expanding our internal controls over our recording of complete and accurate period-end accruals. The successful remediation of this material weakness will require review and evidence of the effectiveness of the related internal controls as part of our next annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. As we continue these remediation efforts, we may determine that additional measures should be taken to address these or other control deficiencies, and/or that we should modify the remediation plan described above.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in any control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
