Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
(unaudited)

 

1.  Organization and Business

 

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of central nervous system diseases, including neurological and psychiatric disorders.  The Company markets two epilepsy products, Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR, and has several proprietary product candidates in clinical development that address the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder market.

 

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Supernus Europe Ltd. These are collectively referred to herein as “Supernus” or “the Company.” All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information.

 

As permitted under General Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), certain notes and other information have been omitted from the interim consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The Company currently operates in one business segment.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future financial results.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at outstanding amounts, less allowances for doubtful accounts and prompt pay discounts. The Company extends credit without requiring collateral. The Company writes off uncollectible receivables when the likelihood of collection is remote. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on a regular basis. An allowance, when needed, is based upon various factors including the financial condition and payment history of customers, an overall review of collections experience on other accounts, and economic factors or events expected to affect future collections experience. No accounts have been written off in 2014 or 2013.  No allowance for uncollectible receivables is recorded at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.  The Company has an allowance of $0.1 million for expected prompt-pay discounts as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

Revenue Recognition on Product Sales

 

Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title of the product and associated risk of loss has passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, collection from the customer has been reasonably assured and all performance obligations have been met and returns and allowances can be reasonably estimated. Product sales are recorded net of estimated rebates, chargebacks, discounts, co-pay assistance and other deductions (collectively, “sales deductions”) as well as estimated product returns.

 

Our products are distributed through wholesalers and pharmaceutical distributors. Each of these wholesalers and distributors will take title and ownership of the product upon physical receipt of the product and then distribute our products to pharmacies. Though these distributors will be invoiced concurrent with product shipment, we are unable to recognize revenue upon shipment until such time as we can reasonably estimate and record provisions for sales deductions and product returns utilizing historical information and market research projections.

Table of Contents

 

Oxtellar XR Revenue

 

The Company launched Oxtellar XR on February 4, 2013.   During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company began to recognize revenue for Oxtellar XR contemporaneously upon shipment of finished product to wholesalers, net of allowances for estimated sales deductions and returns.

 

Trokendi XR Revenue

 

The Company launched Trokendi XR on August 26, 2013.  Through March 31, 2014 the Company recorded shipments to wholesalers as deferred revenue equal to the gross sales price net of known sales deductions. Because we lack the experiential data which would allow us to estimate all remaining sales rebates, allowances and returns,  we must wait until these data become available to the Company in order to recognize revenue upon shipment to wholesalers.

 

Rather than recognize revenue upon shipments to wholesalers, the Company currently recognizes Trokendi XR revenue upon filling prescriptions at pharmacies because prescriptions filled at the pharmacy level have no remaining right of return.  However, because we are still compiling historical data related to our experience with respect to other sales deductions, we cannot reasonably estimate all other sales rebates and allowances, but rather must wait until this data becomes available to the Company.  Because this occurs approximately eight weeks after the close of the quarter, the Company currently delays recognition of revenue until the subsequent fiscal quarter when all the sales deductions are known.

 

With respect to prescriptions which were filled in the fourth quarter, data on rebates and allowances were generally received by the end of the first quarter of 2014. Because of this time lag, the Company could not determine net revenue in a timeframe which would allow reporting fourth quarter net revenue in the Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2013. Consequently, revenue generated from prescriptions for Trokendi XR filled at the pharmacy level in the fourth quarter are reported in the Company’s first quarter 2014 financial results. We expect to continue to report revenue based on prescriptions filled at the pharmacy level until sufficient experience with rebates and allowances is assembled to allow reporting of revenue based on shipments to wholesalers.

 

The Company believes the compilation of sufficient product specific historical data to reasonably estimate returns, rebates, and allowances for Trokendi XR may be available by the second quarter of 2014, at which time the Company may record revenue based on shipments to wholesalers, rather than on prescriptions filled at the pharmacy level.

 

Milestone Payments

 

Milestone payments on licensing agreements are recognized as revenue when the collaborative partner acknowledges completion of the milestone and substantive effort was necessary to achieve the milestone. Management may recognize revenue contingent upon the achievement of a milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive.  The Company recorded no milestone revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have evaluated all Accounting Standard Updates through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued and believe the adoption of these will not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

3.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of an asset or liability should represent the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Such transactions to sell an asset or transfer a liability are assumed to occur in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Accordingly, fair value is determined based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than from a reporting entity’s perspective.

 

The Company reports assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

·                  Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

6



Table of Contents

 

·                  Level 2 — Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

·                  Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions, based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

 

In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following tables show the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value, in thousands:

The fair value of the restricted marketable securities is included within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company’s Level 1 assets include money market funds and U.S. Treasury and government agency debt securities with quoted prices in active markets.

 

Level 2 assets include mutual funds in which the SERP (Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) assets are invested, commercial paper and investment grade corporate bonds and other fixed income securities. Level 2 securities are valued using third-party pricing sources that apply applicable inputs and other relevant data into their models to estimate fair value.

Level 3 liabilities include the fair market value of the interest make-whole liability associated with the Company’s 7.50% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2017, or the Notes, and the outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock, which are recorded as derivative liabilities. The fair value of the common stock warrant liability was calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation with a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions as of March 31, 2014:

 

Exercise Price

 

$4 - $5 per share

 

Volatility

 

55%

 

Stock Price as of March 31, 2014

 

$8.94 per share

 

Term

 

6.3 - 7.8 years

 

Dividend Yield

 

0.0%

 

Risk-Free Rate

 

2.32% - 2.51%

 

 

The fair value of the interest make-whole liability of the Notes was calculated using a binomial-lattice model with the following key assumptions as of March 31, 2014:

 

Volatility

 

45%

 

Stock Price as of March 31, 2014

 

$8.94 per share

 

Credit Spread

 

1187 bps

 

Term

 

3.1 years

 

Dividend Yield

 

0.0%

 

 

Significant changes to these assumptions would result in increases/decreases to the fair value of the derivative liabilities.

 

Changes in the fair value of the warrants and the interest make-whole liability are recognized as a component of Other Income (Expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents information about the Company’s Level 3 liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 that are included in the Non-Current Liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in thousands:

The carrying value, face value and estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $28.4 million, $40.0 million and $76.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2014. The fair value was estimated based on actual trade information as well as quoted prices provided by bond traders, which would be characterized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This fair value amount gives recognition to the value of the interest make-whole liability and the value of the conversion option. These items have been accounted for as derivative liabilities and additional paid-in-capital, respectively.

 

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

6.  Intangible Assets

 

The Company purchased certain patents from Shire Laboratories, Inc. in connection with a 2005 purchase agreement, which is being amortized over the weighted average life of the patents purchased in that transaction.  Patent defense costs have been incurred in connection with a Complaint filed on August 7, 2013 related to patents for Oxtellar XR (see Part II, Item I, Legal Proceedings). The following sets forth the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of these intangible assets, in thousands:

During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, approximately $9.5 million of the Notes were presented to the Company for conversion. Accordingly, the Company issued approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock in conversion of the principal amount of the Notes.  The Company issued an additional 0.3 million shares of common stock in settlement of the interest make-whole provision related to the converted Notes.  As a result of the conversions, the Company incurred an approximately $1.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

9. Share-Based Payments

 

The Company has adopted the Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which is stockholder-approved, and provides for the grant of stock options and certain other awards, including stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), restricted and unrestricted stock, stock units, performance awards, cash awards and other awards that are convertible into or otherwise based on the Company’s common stock, to the Company’s key employees, directors, and consultants and advisors.  The 2012 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors and provides for the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s Common Stock

10. Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per common share is determined by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Company’s stock option grants, SAR, potential Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) awards and warrants, and the if-converted method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Company’s Notes. The following common stock equivalents were excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive as applied to the net loss for the periods ending March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The interim financial statements included in this report and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2014.  In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These forward-looking statements may include declarations regarding the Company’s belief or current expectations of management, such as statements including the words “budgeted,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “believe,” “potential,” and similar statements or expressions are intended to be among the statements that are forward-looking statements, as such statements reflect the reality of risk and uncertainty that is inherent in the Company’s business. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are made as of the date this report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere in this report as well as in other reports and documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Solely for convenience, in this Form 10-Q the trade names are referred to without the TM symbols and the trademark registrations are referred to without the circled R, but such references should not be construed as any indicator that the Company will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights thereto.

 

Overview

 

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of central nervous system, or CNS, diseases. In 2013, we launched Oxtellar XR (extended-release oxcarbazepine) and Trokendi XR (extended-release topiramate), our two novel treatments for epilepsy.

 

In addition, we are developing multiple product candidates in psychiatry to address the large, unmet clinical need and  market opportunity in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, including impulsive aggression in patients with ADHD.

 

Marketed Products. Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR are the first once-daily extended release oxcarbazepine and topiramate products, respectively, indicated for epilepsy in the U.S. market. The products are differentiated from the immediate release products by offering once-daily dosing and unique pharmacokinetic profiles that can be very important for patients with epilepsy. A once-daily dosing regimen has been shown to improve compliance allowing patients to more completely benefit from their medications, and the unique smooth and steady pharmacokinetic profiles avoid the blood level fluctuations that are associated with immediate release products and their symptomatic side effects. To date, we have received positive feedback from patients and physicians regarding the benefits of and clinical outcomes they are experiencing with our products, and no new safety signals have arisen.

 

We expect the number of prescriptions filled for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR to increase throughout 2014, especially as we complete the expansion of our sales force in the first half of 2014.  Total prescriptions, as reported by IMS Health, or IMS, (aggregating Trokendi XR and Oxtellar XR), grew from 21,110 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 to 30,208 during the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 43.1%.

 

Alternatively, data from Wolters-Kluwer/Symphony show 32,063 prescriptions filled for the three months ended March 31, 2014 representing a growth of 49.5% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013, which totaled 21,450 prescriptions filled.

 

We have our own specialty sales force promoting both products in the U.S. market, and we expect this sales force to more than 150 sales representatives by the mid-2014. We have incurred significant losses from operations in 2013 and the first three months of 2014 as part of our investment in and commitment to successful product launches for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR as well as expenditures to develop our product candidates.  We expect to continue to experience losses from operations in 2014, although we expect to be cash flow break even by year-end 2014.

Table of Contents

 

We believe our current working capital, along with increased revenues from increasing product sales, will be sufficient to finance the Company through the end of 2014. Beyond year end 2014, we expect the business to be cash flow positive.

 

The Company received a Paragraph IV Notice Letter on June 26, 2013 against two of its Oxtellar XR Orange Book patents from generic drug makers Watson Laboratories, Inc. — Florida (“WLF”).  On August 7, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Actavis, Inc., WLF, Actavis Pharma, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Anda, Inc. (collectively “Watson”) alleging infringement of two patents that are listed in the FDA’s Orange Book covering its antiepileptic drug Oxtellar XR. Supernus’s United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898 and 7,910,131 (“the patents-in-suit”) generally cover once-a-day oxcarbazepine formulations and methods of treating seizures using those formulations. We have since listed a third patent, United States Patent No. 8,617,600 issued on December 31, 2013, in the FDA’s Orange Book covering Oxtellar XR.  The Company received a second Paragraph IV Notice Letter on February 20, 2014 against this Orange Book patent from WLF.  On March 28, 2014, the Company filed a second lawsuit against Watson alleging infringement of this patent.  All three patents do not expire until April 13, 2027.  Although these cases are in their early stages, we believe that we will be successful in the defense of our patents.  However, in the event that we are not successful in upholding each of these patents, our future revenue from Oxtellar XR may be adversely affected, which could increase our expected net losses.  (See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings for additional information.)

 

Product Candidates. In addition to our marketed products, we continue to develop our product candidates SPN-810 and SPN-812. We are developing SPN-810 (molindone hydrochloride) as a treatment for impulsive aggression in patients with well controlled ADHD. We completed a Phase IIb trial in 2012 demonstrating both safety and efficacy.  As a result of a September 2013 scientific meeting with the FDA, we are now designing a Phase III protocol which will undergo a Special Protocol Assessment.  We expect patient dosing to commence during 2015.

 

We are developing SPN-812 as a non-stimulant treatment for ADHD. We completed a Phase IIa proof of concept trial for SPN-812 in 2011, demonstrating efficacy versus placebo and we have completed the development of several extended release formulations that are being tested in a multi-dose steady state pharmacokinetic study to select the final product formulation for a Phase IIb trial.  We held a pre-IND (investigational new drug application) meeting with the FDA for the extended release program in June 2013.

 

We expect to incur significant research and development expenses related to the continued development of each of our product candidates.

 

Our partner United Therapeutics announced that the FDA has approved Orenitram (treprostinil).  The launch of this product is expected to occur in 2014, which will trigger a milestone payment of $2.0 million.  We are entitled to receive milestone payments and royalties for use of this formulation in other indications.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

 

The significant accounting policies and basis of presentation for our consolidated financial statements are described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

We believe the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical:

 

Inventories

 

We carry inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventory values include materials, labor, and other direct and indirect overhead. Inventory is evaluated for impairment through consideration of factors such as net realizable value, obsolescence and expiry. Our inventories have values that do not exceed either replacement cost or net realizable value. We believe Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR have limited risk of obsolescence or expiry based on current demand, our projection for future demand, and product dating.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

At the present time, the Company records Trokendi XR shipments to wholesalers as deferred revenue; i.e., sales price net of known sales deductions (e.g. prompt pay discounts and other similar charges). As Trokendi XR was launched in the second half of 2013, we lack the experiential data which would allow us to estimate all remaining sales rebates, allowances and returns.  Accordingly, we must wait until these data become available to the Company.  Because this occurs approximately eight weeks after the close of the quarter, the Company currently delays recognition of revenue on Trokendi XR until the subsequent fiscal quarter.  In addition, rather than

 

14



Table of Contents

 

recognize revenue upon shipments to wholesalers, the Company currently recognizes Trokendi XR revenue upon filling prescriptions at pharmacies, because prescriptions filled at the pharmacy level have no remaining right of return.

 

We expect to continue to report revenue based on Trokendi XR prescriptions filled at the pharmacy level on a quarter lag basis until sufficient experience with rebates, allowances and net sales deductions is assembled to allow reporting of revenue based on shipments to wholesalers (i.e., contemporaneous basis).  We expect that this may occur by the second quarter of 2014.  We expect to recognize higher levels of revenue during the quarter when the change to contemporaneous recognition becomes effective.

 

The Company recognizes revenue for Oxtellar XR based on shipment to distributors as we have sufficient historical experience to estimate sales deductions, allowances and returns.

 

For a complete description of the Trokendi XR and Oxtellar XR gross revenue and gross to net adjustments see Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplemental Data, Note 2, Revenue Recognition on Product Sales.

Revenues.  Our net product sales of $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are based on $4.9 million of revenue from shipments of Oxtellar XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $4.1 million of revenue for Trokendi XR prescriptions filled at the pharmacy level, during the fourth quarter of 2013, net of sales deductions.

 

Shipments of Oxtellar XR during the first quarter of 2014 of $4.9 million increased by $1.0 million, or 25%, as compared to fourth quarter 2013 shipments of $3.9 million.

Table of Contents

 

Research and Development Expense.  Research and development expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $4.5 million, essentially unchanged from prior year.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $4.0 million or 29.5%.  This increase was mainly due to the ongoing expansion of our sales force during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and an increase in marketing expenses focused on creating promotional and marketing related programs in support of the launch and commercialization of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

 

Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase of $0.5 million was primarily due to the interest relating to the $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2019, or the Notes, which were issued in May 2013.  Through March 31, 2014, approximately $50.0 million of Notes had been converted into equity.

 

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liability.  We recognized a non-cash credit of $0.7 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative liability related to our Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the passage of time as our stock price remains above the $5.30 conversion price.

 

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized a non-cash charge of $1.7 million related to the conversion of $9.5 million of our Notes.

 

Net Loss.   We incurred a net loss of $15.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to net loss of $18.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.9 million or 15.6%.  This decrease in net loss was due to the revenue generated from our two commercial products, Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR, offset by the hiring of our sales force as well as an increase in marketing costs associated with the commercialization activities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our working capital at March 31, 2014 was $52.8 million, a decrease of $17.9 million compared to our working capital of $70.8 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to the net loss of $15.5 million and patent defense costs of $1.1 million.

 

We expect to continue to incur significant sales and marketing expenses related to the commercial support of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.  In addition, we expect to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development efforts, primarily related to development of SPN-810 and SPN-812 as we continue to advance these clinical programs.

 

In addition to revenues, we have historically financed our business through the sale of our debt and equity securities.  On May 3, 2013, we issued $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.  We issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated May 3, 2013, or the Indenture, that we entered into with U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent.

 

The Notes provide for 7.50% interest per annum on the principal amount of the Notes, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2013.  Interest will accrue on the Notes from and including May 3, 2013 and the Notes will mature on May 1, 2019, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.  The Notes are secured by a first-priority lien, other than customary permitted liens, on substantially all of our and our domestic subsidiaries’ assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.  For a full description of the Notes and the Indenture, see Note 8 to the Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Through March 31, 2014, holders of the Notes have converted a total of approximately $50.0 million of the Notes. Cumulatively, through March 31, 2014, we issued a total of approximately 9.4 million shares of common stock in conversion of the principal amount of the Notes and issued an additional 1.6 million shares of common stock and paid approximately $1.7 million cash in settlement of the interest make-whole provision related to the converted Notes.

 

We believe our current working capital, along with increased revenues from increasing product sales, will be sufficient to finance the Company through the end of 2014, by which time we project to be cash flow break even. Beyond year end 2014, we expect the business to be cash flow positive.

Investing Activities

 

Our investing activities are principally driven by cash provided by our financing activities. We invest excess cash in accordance with our investment policy. Marketable securities consist of investments which generally mature in fifteen months or less including U.S. Treasury and various government agency debt securities, as well as investment grade securities in industrial and financial institutions. Fluctuations in investing activities between periods relate exclusively to the timing of marketable security purchases and the related maturities of these securities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of $1.6 million related to: the increase in patent defense costs of $1.1 million; marketable securities holdings increased by $0.3 million, and property and equipment purchases of $0.3 million.  Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $3.1 million related to the increase in marketable securities of $2.7 million and property and equipment purchases of $0.4 million.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $5,000, primarily the result of the issuance of common stock.  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash used of $1.0 million consisted of proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1.9 million offset by $2.9 million in repayment of secured notes payable and financing costs.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have evaluated all Accounting Standard Updates through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued and believe the adoption of these will not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

 

The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as ours to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have chosen to “opt out” of this provision.  As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital to fund operations. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and long term marketable securities. As of March 31, 2014, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and long term marketable securities of $70.5 million. We do not engage in any hedging activities against changes in interest rates. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and because we hold these securities to maturity, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments. We do not have any currency or other derivative financial instruments other than the outstanding warrants to purchase common stock and the interest make-whole payment associated with our Notes.

 

We contract with contract research organizations and investigational sites globally. We may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with these agreements, primarily with respect to Euro denominated contracts. We do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. A hypothetical 10% appreciation in Euro exchange rates against the U.S. dollar from prevailing market rates would have increased our net loss by approximately $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Conversely, a hypothetical 10% depreciation in Euro exchange rates against the U.S. dollar from prevailing market rates would have decreased our net loss by approximately $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We do not believe that inflation and changing prices over the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We conducted an evaluation, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2014.

 

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. We may be required to file infringement claims against third parties for the infringement of our patents. The Company received a Paragraph IV Notice Letter against two of our Oxtellar XR Orange Book patents (United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898 and 7,910,131) from generic drug maker Watson Laboratories, Inc. — Florida (“WLF”) on June 26, 2013.  On August 7, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against Actavis, Inc., WLF, Actavis Pharma, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and Anda, Inc. (collectively “Watson”) alleging infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898 and 7,910,131. The Company received a second Paragraph IV Note Letter against our later-issued Oxtellar XR Orange Book Patent (United States Patent No. 8,617,600). The Company’s United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898, 7,910,131 and 8,617,600 generally cover once-a-day oxcarbazepine formulations and methods of treating seizures using those formulations.  The FDA Orange Book lists all three of the Company’s Oxtellar XR patents as expiring on April 13, 2027.

 

Both Complaints—filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey—allege, inter alia, that Watson infringed our Oxtellar XR patents by submitting to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking to market a generic version of Oxtellar XR prior to the expiration of our patents.  Filing its August 7, 2013 Complaint within 45 days of receiving Watson’s Paragraph IV certification notice entitles Supernus to an automatic stay preventing the FDA from approving Watson’s ANDA for 30 months from the date of our receipt of Watson’s first Paragraph IV certification notice.  On September 25, 2013, Watson answered the August 7, 2013 complaint, denying the substantive allegations of that Complaint.  One defendant, WLF, asserted Counterclaims, seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898 and 7,910,131.  On October 30, 2013, the Company filed its Reply, denying the substantive allegations of that Complaint.  One defendant, WLF, asserted Counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of United Sates Patent No. 8,617,600. Both cases are in their early stages and discovery is proceeding.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the information we include in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the additional information in the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission along with the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. These risks may result in material harm to our business and our financial condition and results of operations. In this event, the market price of our common stock may decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

(a)                                 Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted options to employees and directors to purchase an aggregate of 618,285 shares of common stock at exercise prices between $9.24 per share and $10.02 per share.  The options are exercisable for a period of ten years from the grant date.  These issuances were exempt from registration in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving any public offering.
