Explanatory Note

Unless the context requires otherwise, the words “Supernus,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” refer to Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the Amended Form 10-Q) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 (the Original Form 10-Q), which was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 9, 2015 (the Original Filing Date), to reflect the restatement of consolidated financial statements (Restatement) as described below.

In this Amended Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015, we are restating our previously issued and unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. As discussed in further detail below and in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Restatement is the result of a misapplication in the guidance on accounting for revenue recognition related to the sale of future revenues (as described below). We assessed the impact of this misapplication on our prior interim and annual consolidated financial statements and concluded that the impact was material to these consolidated financial statements. Consequently, we have restated the prior period consolidated financial statements identified above. All amounts in this Amended Form 10-Q affected by the Restatement reflect such amounts as restated. For a more detailed explanation of these matters and resulting restatements, please see Part I, Item 1: Financial Statements — Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements; Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements; and Part I, Item 4: Controls and Procedures.

For the convenience of the reader, this Amended Form 10-Q sets forth the Original Form 10-Q for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 in its entirety, as amended by and to reflect the Restatement and includes certain restated information for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014.

Background of Restatement

In July 2014, the Company entered into a royalty monetization transaction and recorded the transaction with Healthcare Royalty Partners III, L.P. (HC Royalty) as revenue referencing guidance under ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” In August 2016, the Company was informed by its former independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst and Young LLP (EY), that a royalty monetization transaction for another client had recently been reviewed by the SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant (the OCA). The OCA had concluded that that transaction should have been recorded a liability rather than as revenue. Accordingly, Supernus undertook to re-evaluate the accounting for the 2014 transaction.

Having conferred with the Company’s prior auditor, EY, and the Company’s current auditor KPMG LLP (KPMG), in October 2016, the Company submitted to the OCA a request to post clear the Company’s accounting for the royalty monetization transaction from 2014. In its submission, the Company concluded that the terms and conditions of the agreement met the criteria for revenue recognition under SAB 104 and ASC 605-10. On November 9, 2016, the OCA completed its review and informed the Company that the royalty monetization transaction should have been recorded as a debt obligation in 2014 in accordance with ASC 470-10-25. As a result, on November 10, 2016, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, and related reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms thereon, and the interim quarterly reports in those years beginning with the third quarter of 2014, and the interim quarterly reports for the first and second quarters in 2016 should no longer be relied upon and should be restated.

The Company is restating in this Amended Form 10-Q its consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The adjustments to our consolidated financial statements related to the 2014 royalty monetization transaction resulted in the following changes:

· The $30.0 million proceeds of the transaction have now been recorded in the third quarter of 2014 as non-recourse debt, rather than revenue;

· Revenue and operating income in the third quarter of 2014 have been reduced by approximately $30.0 million; and

· Royalties received by the counterparty to the royalty monetization transaction are now recognized by the Company as non-cash royalty revenue. The $30.0 million of non-recourse liability is reduced by the same amount, and then increased by the non-cash implied interest expense to be recognized.

The revisions referenced above result in noncash financial statement corrections, principally reducing net income and increasing liability, but will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash and marketable securities position and no impact on net product sales.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Restatement, the Company also made the following corrections:

· Recording current tax expenses related to an increase in our reserve for an uncertain tax position related to alternative minimum taxes in the fourth quarter of 2014 that had been previously recognized in the second quarter of 2015;

· An adjustment was made to Statement Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 to adjust cash used in investing activities, with an offset to cash provided by operations for certain accrued legal fees that have been deferred;

· The correction of an immaterial error, to correctly recognize stock compensation expense associated with the January 2014 stock option awards to the Board. These options have a twelve month vesting period, though the Company originally began recognizing compensation expense over a four-year vesting term. This error was corrected during 2015. Correcting this immaterial error results in an increase in selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) in 2014, and a corresponding decrease in SG&A expense in 2015; and

· The reclassification of a Certificate of Deposit (CD), originally purchased during the first quarter of 2015 and continually renewed on a quarterly basis, as a current marketable security. This CD has 91 days to maturity and the Company incorrectly classified this amount as cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets at March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. We have corrected the balance sheets in all periods to reflect the reclassification from cash and cash equivalents to current marketable securities.

An explanation of the impact of each of these revisions on our financial statements is contained in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1: Financial Statements.

Items Amended in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A

The following items of this Amended Form 10-Q include restated financial data: (i) Part I, Item 1: Financial Statements; and (ii) Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In addition, Part I, Item 4: Controls and Procedures includes a statement of material weakness covering our controls over financial reporting.

Information not affected by the Restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made as of the Original Filing Date and is not intended to speak as of any subsequent date. No statements made herein should be assumed to be accurate as of any subsequent date. Accordingly, this Amended Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our subsequent filings with the SEC, as information in such filings may update or supersede certain information contained in this Amended Form 10-Q.

Restatement of Other Financial Statements

In addition to the restated financial information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, included in this Amended Form 10-Q, the Restatement requires the restatement of our audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. Concurrently with this filing, we are filing the following amended Forms 10-K and 10-Q with respect to these periods to address the corrections:

· Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015, which contains restated audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014;

· Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, which contains restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015; and

· Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, which contains restated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Internal Control Considerations

Management has assessed the effect of the restatement on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and believes that this restatement represents a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting for all periods under restatement. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or

detected on a timely basis. For a discussion of management’s consideration of the material weakness identified, see Part I, Item 4: Controls and Procedures included in this Quarterly Report. In addition, this Amended Form 10-Q includes currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

(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 (CNS) 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 psychiatry market.

The Company commenced the commercialization of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR in 2013.

2. Restatement of Financial Statements

In July 2014, the Company entered into a royalty monetization transaction and recorded the transaction as revenue. In October 2016, the Company submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the SEC) Office of the Chief Accountant (the OCA) a request for post-accounting review of the royalty monetization transaction. On November 9, 2016, the OCA completed its review and informed the Company that the royalty monetization transaction should have been recorded as a debt obligation in 2014. As a result, on November 10, 2016, the Company’s Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, and the interim quarterly reports in those years beginning with the third quarter of 2014, and the interim quarterly reports for the first and second quarters in 2016 and related reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms thereon, should no longer be relied upon and will be restated.

The Company is restating in this Quarterly Report its financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. This restatement results in noncash, financial statement corrections and will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash and marketable securities position or net product sales.

The Company has also made corrections to reflect (i) the recording during the fourth quarter of 2014 of a current tax expense related to an increase in our reserve for an uncertain tax position related to alternative minimum taxes that had been previously recognized in the second quarter of 2015 and (ii) an increase in Selling, General and Administrative Expense in 2014 which is fully offset by a corresponding decrease in Selling, General and Administrative Expense in 2015. This adjustment is the result of the recognition of stock compensation expense over a period of twelve months as opposed to four years related to certain option grants granted in January 2014. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2015, the Company purchased a Certificate of Deposit (CD) that has been continually renewed on a quarterly basis. This CD has 91 days to maturity and the Company incorrectly classified this amount as cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheets at March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. We have corrected the balance sheets in all periods to reflect the reclassification from cash and cash equivalents to current marketable securities. An adjustment was made to the Statement of Cash Flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 to change cash used in investing activities, with an offset to cash provided by operations for certain accrued legal fees that have been deferred.

The impact of the restatement and other corrections on the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 is presented below, in thousands except share and per share data.

3. 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), certain notes and other information have been omitted from the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC.

Table of Contents

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future financial results.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. Treasuries, various U.S. governmental agency debt securities, corporate bonds and other fixed income securities. The Company’s investments are classified as available for sale. Such securities are carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized holding gains or losses reported, net of any tax effects reported, as accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, are included in consolidated results of operations. A decline in the market value of any available for sale security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in fair value, which is charged to earnings in that period, and a new cost basis for the security is established. Dividend and interest income is recognized when earned. The cost of securities sold is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company places all investments with highly rated government or private sector or industrial financial institutions whose debt is rated as investment grade. The Company classifies all available-for-sale marketable securities with maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date as non-current assets.

The Company established the Supernus Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) for the sole purpose of receiving funds for executives from a previous SERP and providing a continuing deferral program under the Supernus SERP. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the SERP was $267,000 and was held in cash securities. As of December 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the mutual fund investment securities within the SERP was approximately $305,000. The fair value of these assets is included within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. A corresponding noncurrent liability is also included in the consolidated balance sheets to reflect the Company’s obligation for the SERP. The Company has not made, and has no plans to make, contributions to the SERP. The securities are restricted in nature and can only be used for purposes of paying benefits under the SERP.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at outstanding amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts and 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 2015 and 2014. The Company recorded an allowance of approximately $4.7 million and $4.1 million for estimated sales discounts as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred and title to 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; 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 as well as estimated product returns (collectively, “sales deductions”).

Our products are distributed through wholesalers and pharmaceutical distributors. Each of these wholesalers and distributors will take title and ownership to the product upon physical receipt of the product and then distribute our products to pharmacies. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the revenue for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR was recognized contemporaneously upon shipment of finished products to wholesalers, net of allowances for estimated sales deductions and returns.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2014, the Company began recognizing revenue for Trokendi XR, net of estimated sales deductions, at the time of shipments to wholesalers. Prior to this change in accounting estimate, the Company recognized revenue for Trokendi XR once delivery had occurred and all sales deductions were known or reasonably estimated. The effect of this change was to increase net product sales by $7.9 million, which represents the impact of the deferred product revenue at December 31, 2013, and cost of product sales by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a $2.9 million reduction to net revenue related to a change in estimate associated with its accrued sales deductions of $18.8 million at September 30, 2015. The change in estimate reflects returns experience associated with our initial launch shipments, which have now passed their expiry dating.

Royalty Revenue

In the third quarter of 2014, the Company received a $30.0 million payment pursuant to a royalty agreement related to the purchase by HC Royalty of certain of the Company’s rights under the agreement with United Therapeutics Corporation related to the commercialization of Orenitram. We have recorded a non-recourse liability related to this transaction and have begun to amortize this amount to recognize royalty revenue as royalties are received by HC Royalty from United Therapeutics. We also recognize non-cash interest expense related to this liability that accrues at an effective interest rate determined based on projections of HC Royalty’s rate of return. We recognized royalty revenue of $2.0 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We recognized interest expense of $2.5 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Sales Deductions

Allowances for estimated sales deductions are provided for the following:

· Rebates. Rebates include mandated discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, the Medicare coverage gap program, as well as negotiated discounts with commercial health-care providers. Rebates are amounts owed after the final dispensing of products to a benefit plan participant and are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with the public sector (e.g. Medicaid) and with private sector benefit providers. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory and contractual discount rates and expected claimed rebates paid based on a plan provider’s utilization. Rebates are generally invoiced and paid quarterly in arrears so that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarters’ unpaid rebates. If actual future rebates vary from estimates, we may need to adjust prior period accruals, which would affect revenue in the period of adjustment.

· Chargebacks. Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted customers purchase directly from an intermediary distributor or wholesaler. Contracted customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions and Federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The distributor or wholesaler, in turn, charges back the difference between the price initially paid by the distributor or wholesaler and the discounted price paid to the distributor or wholesaler by the customer. The allowance for distributor/wholesaler chargebacks is based on known sales to contracted customers.

· Distributor/Wholesaler deductions and discounts. U.S. specialty distributors and wholesalers are offered various forms of consideration including allowances, service fees and prompt payment discounts as consideration for distributing our products. Distributor allowances and service fees arise from contractual agreements with distributors and are generally a percentage of the purchase price paid by the distributors and wholesalers. Wholesale customers are offered a prompt pay discount for payment within a specified period.

· Co-pay assistance. Patients who pay in cash or have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-pay assistance from the Company. The intent of this program is to reduce the patient’s out of pocket costs. Liabilities for co-pay assistance are based on actual program participation and estimates of program redemption using data provided by third-party administrators.

· Returns. Sales of our products are not subject to a general right of return; however, the Company will accept product that is damaged or defective when shipped directly from our warehouse and expired product six months prior and up to 12 months subsequent to its expiry date. Product that has been used to fill patient prescriptions is no longer subject to any right of return.

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 zero and $750,000 of milestone revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and zero and $2.0 million of milestone revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Table of Contents

Cost of Product Sales

The cost of product sales consists primarily of materials, third-party manufacturing costs, freight and distribution costs, allocation of labor, quality control and assurance, and other manufacturing overhead costs.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Company’s policy is to recognize any interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” This ASU provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the software license element of the arrangement is consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, then it should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has elected to adopt the amendment early. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s financial results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” Under this new guidance, entities that measure inventory using any method other than last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method will be required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU, which should be applied prospectively, are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU more closely aligns the treatment of debt issuance costs with debt discounts and premiums and requires debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance has been applied on a retrospective basis and the impact is reflected in the as previously reported column in Note 2. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a reclassification of deferred financing costs of $765,000, $724,000 and $129,000 from asset to liability classification on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and September 2015, respectively.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of the new standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replace it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB has voted to approve a one-year deferral, changing the effective date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption being permitted for periods ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Presently, the Company is assessing what effect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

Table of Contents

The Company has evaluated all other ASUs issued through the date the consolidated financials were issued and believes that no other ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. 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 that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

· 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, a CD and U.S. Treasury and government agency debt securities with quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 assets include the SERP (Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan) assets, commercial paper and investment grade corporate bonds and other fixed income securities.

Level 3 liabilities include the estimated fair value of the interest make-whole liability associated with the Company’s 7.5% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the Notes) and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock, which are recorded as derivative liabilities. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, all of the outstanding warrants to purchase common stock were exercised. As of September 30, 2015 there remain no warrants outstanding.

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 2015, unaudited:

Volatility		45%
Stock Price as of September 30, 2015		$14.03 per share
Credit Spread		1851 bps
Term		1.6 years
Dividend Yield		0.0%

Significant changes to these assumptions could 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, 2014 and September 30, 2015 that are included in the Non-Current Liabilities section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, in thousands:

Reduction due to conversion of debt to equity	(4,690		)
Cashless exercise of common stock warrants	(652		)

Balance at September 30, 2015	$	1,156

The carrying value, face value and estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $8.1 million, $9.7 million and $27.3 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2015. 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.

7. Intangible Assets and Deferred Legal Fees

The Company purchased certain patents from Shire Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to a 2005 purchase agreement. These patents are being amortized over the weighted average life of the patents purchased in that transaction. Deferred legal fees have been incurred in connection with litigation related to patents for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR (see Part II, Item I—Legal Proceedings in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A). The following sets forth the gross carrying amount and related accumulated amortization of these intangible assets, in thousands:

		September 30, 2015								September 30, 2014

Purchased patents	10.0	$	2,292	$	2,240	$	2,292	$	2,067	$	2,292	$	2,010
Deferred legal fees		$	16,575	$	—	$	5,209	$	—	3,853		—

Deferred legal fees will be capitalized as part of the patents upon successful outcome of the on-going litigation related to these patents, at which point amortization of those costs will begin. If the Company is unsuccessful, the deferred legal fees will be expensed at that time. Five U.S. patents have been issued covering Oxtellar XR and six U.S. patents have been issued covering Trokendi XR, with the patents expiring no earlier than 2027.

Amortization expense associated with purchased patents was approximately $57,000 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and was approximately $172,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The estimated annual aggregate amortization expense through December 31, 2015 is $229,000. The net book value of intangible assets was approximately $16.6 million as of September 30, 2015 and was approximately $5.4 million as of December 31, 2014.

There were no indicators of impairment identified at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

12. Earnings per Share

Basic income per common share is determined by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing the income 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, SARs, and potential ESPP awards, and the if-converted method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Company’s Notes.

13. Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had pre-tax income of $4.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. The provision for Federal and state income taxes related to the pre-tax income has been largely offset by the utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards (NOL’s). Accordingly, the Company reduced its valuation allowance against its deferred

Table of Contents

tax assets and recognized an income tax expense for the jurisdictions that did not have sufficient NOL’s to offset the expected tax expense.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of current tax expense related to an increase in our reserve for an uncertain tax position related to the Alternative Minimum Tax.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has concurrent leases for office and lab space that extend through April 2020. The Company may elect to extend the term of the leases for an additional five-year term. The leases provide for a tenant improvement allowance of approximately $2.1 million in aggregate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, $107,000 and $215,000, respectively, of the allowance was utilized and is included in fixed assets and deferred rent. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, $7,000 and $90,000, respectively, of the allowance was utilized. As of September 30, 2015, $0.5 million remains available for tenant improvements.

Financial Information,” of this Form 10-Q/A.

Overview

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

In addition, we are developing multiple product candidates in psychiatry to address the large unmet medical need and market opportunity for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). With SPN-810, we are treating impulsive aggression in patients who have ADHD and who are being treated with standard ADHD treatment. There are currently no approved products indicated for the treatment of impulsive aggression in patients who have ADHD.

The table below summarizes our current pipeline of novel products and product candidates.

Product	Indication	Status
Oxtellar XR	Epilepsy	Launched
Trokendi XR	Epilepsy*	Launched
SPN-810	Impulsive Aggression**	Phase III
SPN-812	ADHD	Phase IIb
SPN-809	Depression	Active IND

* Supplemental New Drug Application submitted for treatment for adults for prophylaxis of migraine headache.

** Initial program is in patients with ADHD, with a plan to follow on in other possible indications, such as autism and bipolar disorder.

We are continuing to expand our intellectual property portfolio to provide additional protection for our technologies, products, and product candidates. We currently have five U.S. patents issued covering Oxtellar XR and six U.S. patents issued covering Trokendi XR, with the patents expiring no earlier than 2027 for each product.

Marketed Products. Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR were the first once-daily extended release oxcarbazepine and topiramate products indicated for patients with epilepsy in the U.S. market. These products differ from the immediate release products by offering

Table of Contents

convenient once-daily dosing and unique pharmacokinetic profiles that can have very positive clinical effects for some patients with epilepsy. We believe a once-daily dosing regimen improves adherence, making it more probable that patients maintain sufficient levels of medication in their bloodstream to protect against seizures. In addition, the unique smooth and steady pharmacokinetic profiles of our once-daily formulations reduce the peak to trough blood level fluctuations that are typically associated with immediate release products which result in increased adverse events or more symptomatic side effects and decreased efficacy.

Trokendi XR

Trokendi XR was the first once-daily extended release topiramate product indicated for patients with epilepsy in the U.S. market, designed to improve patient adherence and to show a better pharmacokinetic profile than the current immediate release products, which must be taken multiple times per day. Trokendi XR’s pharmacokinetic profile results in lower peak plasma concentrations, higher trough plasma concentrations, and slower plasma input rate. This results in smoother and more consistent blood levels of topiramate than immediate release topiramate formulations can deliver. We believe that such a profile mitigates blood level fluctuations that are frequently associated with many side effects as well as mitigating the likelihood of breakthrough seizures that patients can suffer when taking immediate release products. Side effects can lead patients to skip doses, whereupon the increased non-adherence could place them at higher risk for breakthrough seizures.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review the Company’s supplemental new drug application for Trokendi XR, requesting FDA approval to expand the indication for Trokendi XR beyond the current indication for the treatment of epilepsy to include treatment for adults for prophylaxis of migraine headache. Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) guidelines, the FDA has set a target date in the second quarter of 2016 to complete its review.

Oxtellar XR

Oxtellar XR was the only once-daily extended release oxcarbazepine product indicated for the treatment of patients with epilepsy in the U.S. as an adjunctive therapy. With its novel pharmacokinetic profile showing lower peak plasma concentrations, a slower rate of input, higher trough plasma concentrations, and smoother and more consistent blood levels compared to immediate release products, we believe Oxtellar XR has the potential to improve the tolerability of oxcarbazepine and thereby reduce symptomatic side effects. This could enable more patients to tolerate higher doses of oxcarbazepine, which would permit them to benefit from the resulting improved efficacy and greater seizure control which has been previously reported in patients taking higher doses. Patients taking higher doses of immediate release oxcarbazepine are often unable to tolerate the resultant increased adverse side effects. In addition, Oxtellar XR once-per-day dosing is designed to improve patient adherence compared to the current immediate release products that must be taken multiple times per day.

We expect the number of prescriptions filled for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR to continue to increase through the end of 2015 and in subsequent years. Data from Wolters-Kluwer/Symphony show 272,918 prescriptions filled for both drugs during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, representing a growth of 101% as compared to the 135,652 prescriptions reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 data from Wolters- Kluwer/Symphony show 102,831 prescriptions filled for both drugs, representing a growth of 78.0% as compared to the 57,776 prescriptions reported for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and sequential growth of 12.6% from the 91,324 prescriptions reported for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Net product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $100.9 million, an increase of 71% over the same period last year. Total net product sales for the third quarter of 2015 were $38.6 million, compared to total net product sales of $22.5 million for the same quarter last year, and an increase of 13% over the second quarter of 2015.

Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $13.0 million, an increase of $23.4 million over the same period last year.

We are progressing with our Phase IV post-marketing commitments for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR. The work we are completing to meet our FDA commitments may also have applicability in life-cycle management. We have received a Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) letter because we have been unsuccessful, so far, in developing a suitable formulation for pediatric use. We are continuing our efforts and will have a new plan in place by the end of November 2015.

We have received several Paragraph IV Notice Letters concerning Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR from various third-parties. In response to these Paragraph IV notice letters, we have initiated litigation against these third parties alleging infringement of our intellectual property rights. We intend to vigorously defend our intellectual property rights in each of these cases. We anticipate continuing to incur increasing amounts of legal fees and related expenses for these cases as they progress (See Part II, Item 1—Legal Proceedings in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for additional information).

Oxtellar XR was one of several products prescribed to children whose safety profile was reviewed at a Pediatric Advisory Committee meeting in March 2015. The committee voted for the FDA to continue their safety monitoring of this product per their current routine. As part of the preparation for this committee review, the FDA noted that safety information in the Oxtellar XR package insert should be updated to reflect the same information as exists in the package insert of Reference Listed Drug, Trileptal, and, accordingly, we have submitted the revised version of the package insert to the FDA for review.

Product Candidates. We are developing SPN-810 (molindone hydrochloride) as a novel treatment for impulsive aggression in patients who have ADHD and who are being treated with standard ADHD treatment, and SPN-812 (viloxazine hydrochloride) for the treatment of ADHD. We initiated the Phase III clinical trials for SPN-810 during the third quarter of 2015 and a Phase IIb clinical trial for SPN-812 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In early April 2015, the Company submitted to the FDA the impulsive aggression outcome and assessment scale we propose to use in the Phase III SPN-810 trials. We subsequently met with the FDA in July 2015 to review this scale and our proposed primary endpoint for the Phase III trials. The FDA accepted the use of our scale and agreed with our proposed primary endpoint. As a result of the meeting, we submitted a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) in the third quarter of 2015.

During 2014, the FDA granted fast track designation for SPN-810 for the treatment of impulsive aggression in ADHD in conjunction with standard ADHD treatment. Fast track designation is for products that are being investigated for treatment of serious conditions, and for which nonclinical or clinical data suggest that they may address an unmet medical need. Whether a disease or condition is serious is a matter of clinical judgment, based on its impact on such factors as survival, day-to-day functioning, or the likelihood that the disease, if left untreated, will progress from a less severe condition to a more serious one. The fast track designation allows for more frequent interactions with the FDA, for the early submission of some sections of the marketing application, and carries the potential for an expedited review category for the New Drug Application (NDA).

SPN-812 is being developed as a novel non-stimulant treatment for ADHD. The FDA accepted our Investigational New Drug application (IND) for the extended-release formulation and we initiated a Phase IIb trial during the fourth quarter of 2015.

We expect to incur significant research and development expenses related to the continued development of each of our product candidates, with cost for each of the two programs of approximately $100 million.

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 3 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, 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 and Cost of Product Sales

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

Revenue Recognition

Table of Contents

sales are recorded net of estimated rebates, chargebacks, discounts, co-pay assistance and other deductions as well as estimated product returns (collectively, “sales deductions”).

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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the revenue for Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR was recognized contemporaneously upon shipment of finished product to wholesalers, net of allowances for estimated sales deductions and returns.

We derive our estimated sales deductions from an analysis of historical levels of deductions specific to each product. In addition, we also consider the impact of anticipated changes in product price, sales trends and changes in managed care coverage. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a $2.9 million reduction to net revenue related to a change in estimate associated with its accrued sales deductions. The change in estimate reflects returns experience associated with our initial launch shipments, which have now passed their expiry dating.

Accounting for Non-Recourse Liability related to Sale of Future Royalties

In July 2014, we sold certain royalty rights for $30.0 million to HC Royalty related to the approved product Orenitram, marketed by United Therapeutics, Inc. Under the relevant accounting guidance, due to a limit on the amount of royalties that HC Royalty can earn under the arrangement, this transaction is accounted for as debt and is amortized using the effective interest method over the expected life of the arrangement. We have no obligation to repay any amounts to HC Royalty. In order to record the amortization of the liability, we are required to estimate the total amount of future royalty payments to be received by HC Royalty under the License Agreement. The sum of these amounts less the net proceeds we received of $30.0 million will be recorded as non-cash interest expense over the life of the liability. Consequently, we impute interest on the unamortized portion of the liability and record non-cash interest expense using an imputed effective interest rate. We will periodically assess the expected royalty payments, and to the extent such payments are greater or less than our initial estimate, we will adjust the amortization of the liability and interest rate. As a result of this accounting, even though we do not retain HC Royalty’s share of the royalties, we will continue to record non-cash revenue related to those royalties until the amount of the associated liability and related interest is fully amortized.

Deferred Legal Fees

Deferred legal fees will be capitalized as part of the patents upon successful outcome of the on-going litigation. We will begin amortization at that time. Deferred legal fees will be charged to expense in the event of an unsuccessful outcome of the on-going litigation.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs primarily consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits; share-based compensation expense; expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, investigative sites, consultants and other vendors that conduct the Company’s clinical trials; the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials; the cost of manufacturing materials used in process validation, to the extent that those materials are manufactured prior to receiving regulatory approval for those products and are not expected to be sold commercially; facilities costs that do not have an alternative future use; related depreciation and other allocated expenses; license fees for and milestone payments related to in-licensed products and technologies; and costs associated with animal testing activities and regulatory approvals.

Net Product Sales. Our net product sales of $38.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 are based on $8.7 million of revenue from Oxtellar XR shipments to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $29.9 million of revenue from Trokendi XR shipments to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns. The increase in net product sales is primarily driven by an increase in underlying prescription growth. Our net product sales of $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are based on $7.2 million of revenue from shipments of Oxtellar XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $15.3 million of revenue from shipments of Trokendi XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns.

Royalty Revenue (Restated). Revenue of $0.8 million and $0.2 million generated during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, was non-cash revenue generated pursuant to an agreement with HC Royalty.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2015 were $9.1 million as compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $4.5 million or 96%. During the third quarter of 2015, we were focused on preparing for the SPN-810 late stage studies including development of the outcome and assessment scale that we will use in the trials, manufacturing of the clinical supplies, retention of a clinical research organization and site selection. We expect research and development costs to increase significantly through the end of 2015 and into 2016. We initiated the Phase III clinical trials for SPN-810 during the third quarter of 2015 and a Phase IIb clinical trial for SPN-812 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (Restated). Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $5.5 million or 31.3%. This increase was mainly due to an increase in promotional and marketing expenses including sample distribution to support the growth of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $1.0 million was primarily due to a decrease in the outstanding principal amount of our 7.5% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due in 2019 (the Notes) from $36.1 million at September 30, 2014 to $9.7 million at September 30, 2015.

Interest Expense — Non-recourse Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties. Interest expense related to our royalty liability was $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase of $0.7 million for this non-cash expense item was primarily due to an increase in the expected royalties forecast related to Orenitram.

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized non-cash credit of $114,000 related to a change in estimated fair value of the warrant liability of $60,000, offset by $174,000 of interest make-whole derivative liability related to our Notes. This loss is primarily due to the decrease in our stock price. We recognized a non-cash credit of $0.8 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative liability during the three months ended September 30, 2014, due primarily to the passage of time.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $25,000 related to the conversion of $1.0 million of our Notes. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million related to the conversion of $3.7 million of our Notes.

Income Tax. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $0.1 of current tax expense related primarily to an increase in our reserve for an uncertain tax position related to the Alternative Minimum Tax.

Net Income (Loss). We realized net income of $3.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $6.3 million. This change was primarily due to the revenue generated from our two commercial products, Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR, offset by increased expenses incurred in preparing for the late stage studies for two product candidates, an increase in marketing expenditures associated with ongoing support of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Net Product Sales. Our net product sales of $100.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are based on $23.9 million of revenue from Oxtellar XR shipments to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $77.0 million of revenue from Trokendi XR shipments to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns. The increase in net product sales is primarily driven by an increase in underlying prescription growth. Our net product sales of $59.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are based on $17.1 million of revenue from shipments of Oxtellar XR to

distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $42.0 million of revenue from shipments of Trokendi XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns. The effect of the change to contemporaneous revenue recognition for Trokendi XR in the second quarter of 2014 was to increase net product sales by $7.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. This represents the impact of the deferred product revenue at December 31, 2013.

Royalty revenue (Restated). Revenue of $2.0 million and $0.2 million generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, was non-cash revenue generated during this period pursuant to an agreement with HC Royalty.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $19.7 million as compared to $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $5.9 million or 42.5%. This increase is due to our focus on preparing for the SPN-810 late stage studies including development of the outcome and assessment scale that we will use in the trials coupled with manufacturing of the clinical supplies. We expect research and development costs to increase significantly through the end of 2015 and into 2016. We initiated the Phase III clinical trials for SPN-810 during the third quarter of 2015 and a Phase IIb clinical trial for SPN-812 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (Restated). Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $65.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $54.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $11.0 million or 20.2%. This increase was mainly due to an increase in promotional and marketing expenses including sample distribution to support the growth of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $2.8 million was primarily due to a decrease in the outstanding principal amount of our Notes from $36.1 million at September 30, 2014 to $9.7 million at September 30, 2015.

Interest Expense — Non-recourse Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties. Interest expense related to our royalty liability was $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase of $2.2 million for this non-cash expense items was primarily due to the fact that this liability existed for all nine months of this period in 2015 and only existed for three months of this period in 2014.

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized non-cash credit of $66,000 related to a change in estimated fair value of the warrant liability of $397,000, offset by $463,000 of interest make-whole derivative liability related to our Notes. This loss is primarily due to the decrease in our stock price. We recognized a non-cash credit of $2.1 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due primarily to the passage of time.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million related to the conversion of $26.3 million of our Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.6 million related to the conversion of $13.4 million of our Notes.

Income Tax. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded $0.5 million of current tax expense related primarily to an increase in our reserve for an uncertain tax position related to the Alternative Minimum Tax.

Net Income (Loss). We realized net income of $7.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $14.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a change of $21.8 million. This change was primarily due to the revenue generated from our two commercial products, Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR, offset by increased expenses incurred in preparing for the late stage studies for two product candidates, an increase in marketing expenditures associated with ongoing support of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Net Product Sales. Our net product sales of $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are based on $7.2 million of revenue from shipments of Oxtellar XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $15.3 million of revenue from shipments of Trokendi XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns.

We launched Oxtellar XR in February 2013 and recognized $1.1 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2013 based on prescriptions filled at the patient level during the second quarter of 2013 for which all sales deductions had become known.

Royalty revenue (Restated). The revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 resulted from the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement that we entered into with HC Royalty for Orenitram, which is marketed by United Therapeutics Corporation. We generated $0.2 million of non-cash revenue pursuant to this agreement during this period.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $4.7 million as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $0.9 million or 23.2%. This increase is due to preclinical and clinical trials and manufacturing scale up for both of our product candidates, SPN-810 and SPN-812.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $2.8 million or 18.6%. This increase was mainly due to an increase in marketing expenses such as sample distribution and expenses related to the increase in compensation and travel due to the expansion of our sales force to support the growth of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease of $1.6 million was primarily due to a decrease in the interest on the aggregate principal amount of 7.50% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2019, or the Notes, which were issued in May 2013. Through September 30, 2014, approximately $53.9 million of the original $90.0 million of the Notes has been converted into equity.

Interest Expense — Non-recourse Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties. Interest expense related to our royalty liability was $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase of $0.3 million for this non-cash expense item was primarily due to the fact that this liability existed for all three months of this period in 2014 and did not exist during this three month period in 2013.

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a non-cash credit of $0.8 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative liability related to our Notes. The change in fair value, which reduces interest expense in periods subsequent to conversion, is primarily due to the passage of time and because our stock price remains above the $5.3 conversion price. We recognized a non-cash charge of $4.1 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative during the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to the effect of the increase in our stock price on the valuation of its derivative liability.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a non-cash charge of $0.9 million related to the conversion of $3.7 million of our Notes.

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $24.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $21.7 million. This change was due primarily to the revenue generated from our two commercial products, Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Our net product sales of $59.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are based on $17.1 million of revenue from shipments of Oxtellar XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns, and $42.0 million of revenue from shipments of Trokendi XR to distributors, less estimates for discounts, rebates, other sales deductions and returns.

We launched Oxtellar XR in February 2013 and recognized $1.3 million of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 based on prescriptions filled at the patient level during the first and second quarters of 2013 for which all sales deductions had become known.

Table of Contents

Revenue for Trokendi XR of $42.0 million includes revenue of $4.1 million from prescriptions filled at the patient level during the fourth quarter of 2013 for which sales deductions became known in 2014. We transitioned to contemporaneously recognizing revenue upon shipment of finished product to wholesalers, net of allowances for estimated sales deductions and returns in the second quarter of 2014.

Royalty revenue. The revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 resulted from the Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement that we entered into with HC Royalty for Orenitram, which is marketed by United Therapeutics Corporation. We generated $0.2 million of non-cash revenue pursuant to this agreement during this period.

Licensing Revenue. The licensing revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of the United Therapeutics Corporation milestone payment of $2.0 million under their license agreement with Supernus which was received prior to the agreement with HC Royalty.

Research and Development Expense. Research and development expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $13.8 million as compared to $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $2.0 million or 16.6%. This increase is due to preclinical and clinical trials and manufacturing scale up for both of our product candidates, SPN-810 and SPN-812.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $54.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $40.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $14.2 million or 35.3%. This increase was mainly due to the increase in compensation and travel due to the expansion of our sales force during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 90 sales representatives in 2013 to more than 150 sales representatives in 2014, and an increase in marketing expenses such as sample distribution to support the growth of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease of $1.9 million was primarily due to interest relating to the $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes which were issued in May 2013. Through September 30, 2014, approximately $53.9 million of Notes were converted into equity, which reduces interest expense in the periods subsequent to conversions.

Interest Expense — Non-recourse Liability Related to Sale of Future Royalties. Interest expense related to our royalty liability was $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase of $0.3 million for this non-cash expense item was primarily due to the fact that this liability existed for three months of this period in 2014 and did not exist during this nine month period in 2013.

Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a non-cash credit of $2.1 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative liability related to our Notes. This credit is primarily due to the passage of time and because our stock price remains above the $5.30 conversion price. We recognized a non-cash charge of $12.7 million associated with the interest make-whole derivative during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to the effect of the increase in our stock price on the valuation of its derivative liability.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a non-cash charge of $2.6 million related to the conversion of $13.4 million of our Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred a loss of $1.2 million on extinguishment of our secured credit facility.

Net Loss. We incurred a net loss of $14.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net loss of $69.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $55.2 million. This decrease in net loss was primarily due to the revenue generated from our two commercial products, Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR, offset by expenses incurred associated with the hiring of our sales force as well as an increase in marketing expenditures associated with ongoing support of Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 2015 (Restated)

We believe our increasing levels of net product sales will be sufficient to finance our operations in 2015 and subsequent years, including the increased research and development expenses for our clinical trials. We achieved positive cash flow and profitability from operations during the fourth quarter of 2014 and expect continued profitability for calendar year 2015 and beyond as we continue to increase sales while also increasing activities and spending to advance our clinical product candidates.

Our working capital at September 30, 2015 was $58.8 million, a decrease of $21.8 million compared to our working capital of $80.6 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to the purchase of long term marketable securities.

Table of Contents

Our stockholders’ equity increased by $37.9 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of the issuance of shares related to the conversion of our Notes.

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 income from operations, 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 to qualified institutional buyers, the initial purchasers of the Notes (the Initial Purchasers). We issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated May 3, 2013. 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. 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 assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired. In July 2014, we raised $30.0 million non-recourse liability related to sale of future royalties.

As of September 30, 2015, holders of the Notes have converted a total of approximately $80.3 million of the Notes. Cumulatively, through September 30, 2015, we issued a total of approximately 15.1 million shares of common stock in conversion of the principal amount of the Notes and issued an additional 2.2 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. In addition, during the period October 1, 2015 to current, holders of the Notes converted approximately $1.2 million of the Notes and we issued a total of approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock in conversion of the principal amount of the Notes and accrued interest thereon, and issued an additional 13,000 shares of common stock in settlement of the interest make-whole provision related to the converted notes.

On December 17, 2014, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-3. We have not sold any securities under the registration statement and as of the filing date of this Amended Form 10-Q, we are no longer eligible to use the Form S-3 registration statement to sell any securities.

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 four years or less, including U.S. Treasury and various government agency debt securities, as well as investment grade securities in industrial, municipal, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 of $26.4 million related to an increase in deferred legal fees of $6.9 million, property and equipment purchases of $1.2 million, and purchases of marketable securities of $18.3 million. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September, 2014 consisted of $5.3 million related to: marketable securities holdings decreased by $7.4 million offset by the increase in deferred legal fees of $1.7 million and property and equipment purchases of $0.5 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulted from proceeds received from stock option exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $30.3 million, primarily the result of the non-recourse liability of $30.0 million upon the sale of certain of the Company’s rights under a license agreement to HC Royalty and the issuance of common stock related to the proceeds received from employee stock purchase plan shares and exercise of stock options.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2015 (except as noted below), in thousands:

(1) Our commitments for operating leases relate to our lease of office equipment, fleet vehicles and office and laboratory space as of September 30, 2015.

(2) Relates primarily to agreements and purchase orders with contractors for the conduct of clinical trials and other research and development and sales and marketing activities.

Table of Contents

(3) This table does not include (a) any milestone payments which may become payable to third parties under license agreements as the timing and likelihood of such payments are not known, (b) any royalty payments to third parties as the amounts, timing and likelihood of such payments are not known and (c) contracts that are entered into in the ordinary course of business which are not material in the aggregate in any period presented above.

In addition to the above table, we are contractually obligated to allow all royalty payments earned under a licensing agreement with United Therapeutics Corporation to be paid to HC Royalty. Although we have recorded a non-recourse liability of $30.5 million at September 30, 2015 related to this obligation, it is a non-recourse liability for which we have no obligation to make any payments to HC Royalty. Accordingly, this obligation will have no impact on our liquidity at any time. As a result, the non-recourse liability has not been included in the table above.

We have obtained exclusive licenses from third parties for proprietary rights to support the product candidates in our psychiatry portfolio. Under license agreements with Afecta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Afecta) we have an exclusive option to evaluate Afecta’s CNS pipeline and to obtain exclusive worldwide rights to selected product candidates, including an exclusive license to SPN-810. We do not owe any future milestone payments for SPN-810. We will be obligated to pay royalties to Afecta based on net sales worldwide of our product candidates in the low-single digits. We have also entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Rune, where we obtained the exclusive worldwide rights to a product concept from Rune Healthcare Limited (Rune). There are no future milestone payments owing to Rune under this agreement. If we receive approval to market and sell any products based on the Rune product concept for SPN-809, we will be obligated to pay royalties to Rune based on net sales worldwide in the low single digits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at September 30, 2014 (Restated)

Our working capital at September 30, 2014 was $80.7 million, an increase of $9.9 million compared to our working capital of $70.8 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in accounts receivable related to increased sales of both Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

In July 2014, we entered into a Royalty Interest Acquisition Agreement with HC Royalty. Pursuant to this Agreement, HC Royalty paid us $30.0 million in consideration for acquiring certain royalty and milestone rights related to the commercialization of Orenitram (treprostinil) Extended-Release Tablets by our partner United Therapeutics Corporation. We will retain full ownership of the rights if a certain threshold is reached per the terms of the Agreement.

In addition to revenues, we 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. In July 2014, we raised $30.0 million through a non-recourse liability related to the sale of future royalties.

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 Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2014.

Through September 30, 2014, holders of the Notes have converted a total of approximately $53.9 million of the Notes. Cumulatively, through September 30, 2014, we issued a total of approximately 10.2 million shares of common stock in conversion of the principal amount of the Notes and issued an additional 1.7 million shares of common stock and paid approximately $1.7 million cash in settlement of interest make-whole provision related to the converted Notes.

We believe our current working capital and long term marketable securities, along with increased revenues from increasing product sales, will be sufficient to finance the Company. We anticipate achieving cash flow break even by year end and being profitable in 2015.

Investing Activities

Table of Contents

Fluctuations in investing activities between periods relate exclusively to the timing of marketable security purchases and the related maturities of these securities.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of $5.3 million related to marketable securities decreasing by $7.4 million offset by the increase in capitalized patent defense costs of $1.7 million and property and equipment purchases of $0.5 million. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $33.0 million related to the increase in marketable securities of $31.3 million, property and equipment purchases of $1.4 million and $0.3 million in patent defense costs.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $30.3 million, primarily the result of proceeds received from stock option exercises and non-recourse liability of $30.0 million upon the cash payments received as a result of entering into our agreement with HC Royalty in July 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided of $64.2 million consisted of proceeds from the issuance of the Notes of $90.0 million and $2.1 million from issuance of common stock, offset by $24.3 million in repayment of secured notes payable and payment of the related financing costs and $3.6 million upon issuance of common stock.

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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” This ASU provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the software license element of the arrangement is consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, then it should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has elected to early adopt the amendment. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s financial results.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. Under this new guidance, entities that measure inventory using any method other than last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method will be required to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU, which should be applied prospectively, are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” This ASU more closely aligns the treatment of debt issuance costs with debt discounts and premiums and requires debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis and the impact is reflected in the as previously reported column of Note 2. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 resulted in a reclassification of $765,000, $724,000 and $129,000 from asset to liability classification on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2014, December 31, 2014 and September 2015, respectively.

uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The FASB has voted to approve a one-year deferral, changing the effective date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption being permitted for periods ending after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Presently, the Company is assessing what effect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

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, and marketable securities and long term marketable securities. As of September 30, 2015, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities and long term marketable securities of $101.7 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 decreased our net income by approximately $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Conversely, a hypothetical 10% depreciation in Euro exchange rates against the U.S. dollar from prevailing market rates would have increased our net income by approximately $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. We do not believe that inflation and changing prices over the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 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 CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, 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.

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO, 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, in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 filed on November 9, 2015, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2015.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in November 2015, and in connection with the preparation and filing of the restatement and this Form 10-Q/A, our management, including the CEO and CFO re-evaluated the effectives of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2015 at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weakness described below.

Subsequent to November 9, 2015, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Management’s review revealed that our risk assessment process and our review controls over the accounting for significant, complex, and unusual accounting transactions was deficient, in that these controls were not designed to ensure that sufficient technical accounting expertise was applied to assess and document the appropriate accounting over such transactions. These control deficiencies resulted in a material misstatement within the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as described in Part I, Item 1; Financial Information — Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The presence of these control deficiencies created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we concluded that the deficiencies represented a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2015.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

During 2016, we took action to strengthen our control procedures and risk assessment process regarding the review of the accounting for significant, complex, and unusual transactions. We have engaged, and going forward will continue to engage, expert third party accounting service providers and relevant subject matter experts to supplement the Company’s existing expertise and resources. This will include, amongst other actions, thorough considerations of potential alternative accounting treatment regarding significant, complex, and unusual transactions.

We will continue to devote time and attention to these remediation efforts. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our controls, management may implement additional measures to enhance the remediation plans described above, and will continue to review and make necessary changes to improve the overall design of our controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the changes described above under “Management’s Remediation Initiatives”, during the three months September 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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. We have filed such claims for infringement of the Orange Book patents listed for our products Oxtellar XR and Trokendi XR.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Actavis, Inc., et al., C.A. Nos. 13-4740; 14-1981 (RMB)(JS) (D.N.J.)

We 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) n/k/a Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. (Actavis Labs FL) on June 26, 2013. On August 7, 2013, we filed a lawsuit against Actavis, Inc., Actavis Labs FL, Actavis Pharma, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and ANDA, Inc. (collectively Actavis) alleging infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898 and 7,910,131. We received a second Paragraph IV Notice Letter against our later-issued Oxtellar XR Orange Book Patent (United States Patent No. 8,617,600) on February 20, 2014. On March 28, 2014, we filed a second lawsuit against Actavis alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 8,617,600. We have since listed a fourth Orange Book patent, United States Patent No. 8,821,930, and a fifth Orange Book patent, United States Patent No. 9,119,791, which issued on September 1, 2015.(1) Our United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898, 7,910,131, 8,617,600, 8,821,930, and 9,119,791 generally cover once-a-day oxcarbazepine formulations and methods of treating seizures using those formulations. The FDA Orange Book lists all five of our 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 Actavis infringed our Oxtellar XR patents by submitting to the 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 Actavis’s Paragraph IV certification notice entitles Supernus to an automatic stay preventing the FDA from approving Actavis’s ANDA for 30 months from the date of our receipt of the first Paragraph IV certification notice.

On September 25, 2013, Actavis answered the August 7, 2013 Complaint, denying the substantive allegations of that Complaint. One defendant, Actavis Labs FL, 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, we filed a Reply, denying the substantive allegations of those Counterclaims. On April 30, 2014, Actavis answered the March 28, 2014 Complaint, denying the substantive allegations of that Complaint. Actavis Labs FL also asserted Counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of United States Patent No. 8,617,600. On June 4, 2014, we filed our Reply, denying the substantive allegations of those Counterclaims.

On July 27, 2015 Actavis moved for summary judgment of non-infringement of the three patents. We filed a response on September 14, 2015. Actavis filed a reply on September 28, 2014. The Court heard oral argument on Actavis’s summary judgment motion on October 7, 2015, and issued an order denying Actavis’s motion on October 14, 2015. Trial is scheduled to commence for the consolidated case involving United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898, 7,910,131, and 8,617,600 on November 18, 2015.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Actavis, Inc., et al., C.A. Nos. 15-2499 (RMB)(JS) (D.N.J.)

We received a Paragraph IV Notice Letter against United States Patent No. 8,821,930 from Actavis Labs FL on February 21, 2015. On April 7, 2015, we filed a third lawsuit against Actavis alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 8,821,930.

The Complaint—filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey—alleges, inter alia, that Actavis infringed our Oxtellar XR patents by submitting to the FDA an ANDA seeking to market a generic version of Oxtellar XR prior to the expiration of United States Patent No. 8,821,930. On April 30, 2015, Actavis answered the Complaint, denying the substantive allegations of that Complaint. Actavis Labs FL also asserted Counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of United States Patent No. 8,821,930. On June 9, 2015, we filed our Reply, denying the substantive allegations of those Counterclaims. The District Court issued a Scheduling Order on July 17, 2015.

Following an October 7, 2015 Markman hearing, the Court issued a claim construction order for this case on October 9, 2015. The case is proceeding through fact discovery.

(1) The company received a Paragraph IV Notice from Actavis Labs FL against United States Patent No. 9,119,791 on October 15, 2015.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., C.A. Nos. 15-369 (RMB)(JS) (D.N.J.)

We received a Paragraph IV Notice Letter against United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898, 7,910,131, 8,617,600, and 8,821,930 from generic drug maker TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on December 9, 2014. On January 16, 2015, we filed a lawsuit against TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and TWi International LLC (d/b/a TWi Pharmaceuticals USA) (collectively TWi) alleging infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898, 7,910,131, 8,617,600, and 8,821,930.

The Complaint—filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey—alleges, inter alia, that TWi infringed our Oxtellar XR patents by submitting to the FDA an ANDA seeking to market a generic version of Oxtellar XR prior to the expiration of our patents. Filing the Complaint within 45 days of receiving TWi’s Paragraph IV certification notice entitles Supernus to an automatic stay preventing the FDA from approving TWi’s ANDA for 30 months from the date of our receipt of the first Paragraph IV certification notice. On February 13, 2015, TWi answered the Complaint and TWi Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and denied the substantive allegations of the complaint. TWi also asserted Counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of United States Patent Nos. 7,722,898 and 7,910,131. On March 20, 2015, we filed our Reply, denying the substantive allegations of those Counterclaims. The District Court issued a Scheduling Order on July 17, 2015.

Following an October 7, 2015 Markman hearing, the Court issued a claim construction order for this case on October 9, 2015. The case is proceeding through fact discovery.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Actavis, Inc., C.A. No. 14-6102 (SDW)(LDW) (D.N.J.)

We received three Paragraph IV Notice Letters against six Trokendi XR Orange Book patents, namely United States Patent Nos. 8,298,576, 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191, and 8,992,989 from generic drug maker Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. These patents cover once-a-day topiramate formulations and methods of treating seizures using those formulations. On October 1, 2014, we initiated a lawsuit against Actavis; the lawsuit alleges infringement of the Trokendi XR Orange Book patents. The FDA Orange Book currently lists United States Patent No. 8,298,576 as expiring on April 4, 2028 and United States Patent Nos. 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191, and 8,992,989 as expiring on November 16, 2027.

This action for patent infringement—filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey—alleges Actavis infringed the Trokendi XR patents by, inter alia, submitting to the FDA an ANDA seeking to market a generic version of Trokendi XR prior to the expiration of these patents. Actavis answered these allegations with affirmative defenses and counterclaims of noninfringement and invalidity of the patents in suit. Filing its October 1, 2014 Complaint within 45 days of receiving the first of three Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc. Paragraph IV Notice Letters entitles Supernus to an automatic stay preventing the FDA from approving Actavis’s ANDA for 30 months from the date of our receipt of such Notice Letter.

This case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with two other actions pending in the District of New Jersey concerning infringement of the Trokendi XR Orange Book patents, those actions being C.A. No. 14-7272 (against Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Limited) and also C.A. No. 15-326 (against Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc.). The Company has since entered into a settlement agreement with Par (see below). A Rule 16 scheduling conference was held on April 14, 2015. The Court issued a Scheduling Order on May 22, 2015, which was amended on July 28, 2015, August 24, 2015, and October 5, 2015. The case is proceeding through fact discovery and claim construction. No dates have been set for a Markman hearing or trial.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc., C.A. No. 14-7272 (SDW)(LDW) (D.N.J.)

We received three Paragraph IV Notice Letters against six Trokendi XR Orange Book patents, namely United States Patent Nos. 8,298,576, 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191, and 8,992,989 from generic drug maker Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. These patents cover once-a-day topiramate formulations and methods of treating seizures using those formulations. On November 21, 2014, we initiated a lawsuit against Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. and Cadila Healthcare Limited (collectively Zydus); the lawsuit alleges infringement of the Trokendi XR Orange Book patents. The FDA Orange Book currently lists United States Patent No. 8,298,576 as expiring on April 4, 2028 and United States Patent Nos. 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191 and 8,992,989 as expiring on November 16, 2027.

This action for patent infringement—filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey—alleges Zydus infringed the Trokendi XR patents by, inter alia, submitting to the FDA an ANDA seeking to market a generic version of Trokendi XR prior to the expiration of these patents. Zydus answered these allegations with affirmative defenses and counterclaims of noninfringement and invalidity of the patents in suit. Filing its November 21, 2014 Complaint within 45 days of receiving the first of three Paragraph IV Notice Letters from Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. entitles Supernus to an automatic stay preventing the FDA from approving Zydus’s ANDA for 30 months from the date of our receipt of such Notice Letter.

This case has been consolidated for pretrial purposes with two other actions pending in the District of New Jersey concerning infringement of the Trokendi XR Orange Book patents, those actions being C.A. No. 14-6102 (against Actavis, Inc., Actavis Laboratories FL, Inc., Actavis plc, Actavis Pharma, Inc., Watson Laboratories, Inc., and ANDA, Inc.) and also C.A. No. 15-326 (against Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc.). The Company has since entered into a settlement agreement with Par (see below). A Rule 16 scheduling conference was held on April 14, 2015. The Court issued a Scheduling Order on May 22, 2015, which was amended on July 28, 2015, August 24, 2015, and October 5, 2015. The case is proceeding through fact discovery and claim construction. No dates have been set for a Markman hearing or trial.

Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc., C.A. No. 15-326 (SDW)(LDW) (D.N.J.)

We received three Paragraph IV Notice Letters against six Trokendi XR Orange Book patents, namely United States Patent Nos. 8,298,576, 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191, and 8,992,989 from generic drug maker Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. These patents cover once-a-day topiramate formulations and methods of treating seizures using those formulations. On January 16, 2015, we initiated a lawsuit against Par; the lawsuit alleges infringement of the Trokendi XR Orange Book patents. The FDA Orange Book currently lists United States Patent No. 8,298,576 as expiring on April 4, 2028 and United States Patent Nos. 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191, and 8,992,989 as expiring on November 16, 2027.

This action for patent infringement—filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey—alleges Par infringed the Trokendi XR patents by, inter alia, submitting to the FDA an ANDA seeking to market a generic version of Trokendi XR prior to the expiration of these patents. Par answered these allegations with affirmative defenses and counterclaims of noninfringement and invalidity of the patents in suit. Filing its January 16, 2015 Complaint within 45 days of receiving the first of three Paragraph IV Notice Letters from Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. entitles Supernus to an automatic stay preventing the FDA from approving Par’s ANDA for 30 months from the date of our receipt of such Notice Letter.

The Company announced on October 15, 2015 that it has entered into a settlement agreement with Par regarding this case. The settlement permits Par to begin selling a generic version of Trokendi XR on April 1, 2025, or earlier under certain circumstances. The agreement is subject to a consent judgment that was entered by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In the consent judgment, Par acknowledges that the Orange Book-listed patents for Trokendi XR owned by Supernus, namely United States Patent Nos. 8,298,576, 8,298,580, 8,663,683, 8,877,248, 8,889,191, and 8,992,989, are valid and enforceable with respect to Par’s ANDA product, and would be infringed by Par’s ANDA product. The agreement will be submitted to the applicable governmental agencies.
