2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year for each of the Company, Avenue, Checkpoint, Mustang and National. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2017, from which the Company derived the balance sheet data at December 31, 2016, as well as National’s Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2017, Checkpoint’s Forms 10-K and 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2017 and March 21, 2017, respectively, Mustang’s Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017, and Avenue’s Form 10-12G/A, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2017.

FORTRESS BIOTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries: NHLD, Innmune Limited, Coronado SO, Cyprium, Escala, JMC, CB Securities Corporation, Avenue, Checkpoint, Mustang, Helocyte, Cellvation and Caelum. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include certain amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The Company’s significant estimates include, but are not limited to, useful lives assigned to long-lived and intangible assets, fair value measurements, stock-based compensation, common stock issued to acquire licenses, investments, accrued expenses, derivative warrant liabilities, provisions for income taxes and contingencies. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASU 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU 2016-09 requires companies to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy their statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and is required to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entities expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires 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. The FASB subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018, and may be adopted earlier, but not before January 1, 2017. The revenue standards are required to be adopted by taking either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and determining the transition method, including the period of adoption that it will apply.

FORTRESS BIOTECH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. ASU No. 2016-01 requires several targeted changes including that equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The new guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of current U.S. GAAP. Amendments are to be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted with the exception of certain targeted provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of ASU 2016-01 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets are measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 limits the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. The new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020 and may be adopted earlier. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.   

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new guidance requires that the reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. If restricted cash is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet, companies will be required to reconcile the amounts presented on the statement of cash flows to the amounts on the balance sheet. Companies will also need to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this new pronouncement on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. National Holdings Corporation

On September 9, 2016, the Company, purchased approximately 56.6% of National's common stock, par value $0.02 per share at the purchase price of $3.25 per share in cash.

On April 27, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with National and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, providing for the acquisition of National (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, the Company agreed to cause its wholly owned subsidiary to commence a tender offer for all the issued and outstanding shares of National’s common stock, par value $0.02 per share, at a purchase price of $3.25 per share (the “Offer”). Upon expiration of the Offer on September 9, 2016 (and the subsequent settlement period), a total of approximately 7 million shares were validly tendered, representing approximately 56.6% of the outstanding shares of National on a fully-diluted basis.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

The preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized as further information is received regarding these items and analysis of this information is completed. The Company preliminarily recognized $18.6 million of goodwill and does not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible assets consist of trademark and customer lists acquired in the offer under the purchase method of accounting and are recorded at preliminary fair value net of accumulated amortization since the purchase date. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:

The gross carrying amounts related to acquired intangible assets as of March 31, 2017 are as follows ($ in thousands):

The future amortization of these intangible assets is as follows ($ in thousands):

The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a finite-lived intangible asset is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no indicators of impairment during the period ended March 31, 2017.

4. Broker-Dealers and Clearing Organizations, Other Receivables and Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

At December 31, 2016, National’s receivables of $2.9 million from broker-dealers and clearing organizations represent net amounts due for commissions and fees associated with National’s retail brokerage business as well as asset based fee revenue associated with National’s asset management advisory business. National also has other receivables at December 31, 2016 of $3.9 million, which principally represent trailing commissions, tax and accounting fees and investment banking fees and are net of an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $0.6 million and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

5. Forgivable Loans Receivable

From time to time, National's operating subsidiaries may make loans, evidenced by promissory notes, primarily to newly recruited independent financial advisors as an incentive for their affiliation. The notes receivable balance is comprised of unsecured non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing loans (interest ranging up to 9%). These notes have various schedules for repayment or forgiveness based on production or retention requirements being met and mature at various dates through 2021. Amortization of loan forgiveness was included in commissions, compensation and fees in the statement of operations. In the event the advisor’s affiliation with the subsidiary terminates, the advisor is required to repay the unamortized balance of the note.

National provides an allowance for doubtful accounts on the notes based on historical collection experience and continually evaluates the receivables for collectability and possible write-offs where a loss is deemed probable. As of December 31, 2016, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

There were no unamortized forgivable loans outstanding at December 31, 2016 attributable to registered representatives who ended their affiliation with National’s subsidiaries prior to the fulfillment of their obligation.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s financial instruments are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate their fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, such as accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Laser Device for Treatment of Migraine Headache

On March 17, 2014, the Company invested $250,000 for a 35% ownership position in a third-party company developing a laser device to treat migraine headaches. The Company elected the fair value option for recording this investment. In conjunction with this investment, the Company received 13,409,962 Class A Preferred Units in the third-party company, representing 83% of the total 16,091,954 Class A Preferred Units. The fair value of this investment was $0.3 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The value of the Company’s investment was determined based on a valuation which takes into consideration, when applicable, cash paid, cost of the investment, market participant inputs, estimated cash flows based on entity specific criteria, purchase multiples paid in other comparable third-party transactions, market conditions, liquidity, operating results and other qualitative and quantitative factors. Based on these inputs at March 31, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s investment approximated cost.

Origo Acquisition Corporation (formerly CB Pharma Acquisition Corporation)

On December 19, 2016, Origo Acquisition Corporation (“Origo”) entered into a merger agreement (“Origo Merger Agreement”) with Aina Le’a Inc. (“Aina Le’a”), a residential and commercial real estate developer in Hawaii. On February 17, 2017, Origo sent a letter, as supplemented on February 22, 2017 (the “Termination Letter”), to Aina Le’a terminating the Origo Merger Agreement.  On March 10, 2017, Origo’s shareholders approved an amendment to Origo’s organizational documents extending the date by which Origo must consummate a merger to September 12, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company valued its investment in Origo, a publicly traded company, utilizing the following assumptions: probability of a successful business combination of 18.4%, and no dividend rate, which yielded an instrument value upon business combination of $9.83 per ordinary share for the private placement shares. The rights and warrants were valued utilizing a binomial-lattice model at a value of $0.18 for each right and $0.11 for each warrant. Based upon the valuation, the Company recorded a decrease in fair-value of investment of $0.7 million. At March 31, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Origo was, $0.5 million. The Company’s working capital note with Origo of $0.3 million can be converted to stock upon a successful business combination.

Contingently Issuable Warrant

Pursuant to the Company’s promissory note with NSC of March 2015, as amended in July 2015 (the “NSC Note”), if the Company transfers any proceeds from the NSC Note to a Fortress Company, such Fortress Company will issue to NSC Biotech Venture Fund I LLC a new promissory note on identical terms as the NSC Note and NSC Biotech Venture Fund I LLC will also receive a warrant to purchase a number of shares of such Fortress Company’s stock equal to 25% of the outstanding Fortress Company note divided by the lowest price for which the Fortress Company sells its equity in its first third party financing. The warrants issued will have a term of 10 years and an exercise price equal to the par value of the Fortress Company’s common stock and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Avenue classified the fair value of the contingently issuable warrants granted in connection with the transfer from Fortress of $3.0 million to Avenue under the NSC Note as a derivative liability as there was a potential that Avenue would not have a sufficient number of authorized common shares available to settle these instruments.

The fair value of Avenue’s contingently issuable warrants was determined by applying management’s estimate of the probability of issuance of the contingently issuable warrants together with an option pricing model, with the following key assumptions:

Avenue Warrant Liabilities

On December 30, 2016, Avenue held a closing of the sale of convertible promissory notes. In the closing, WestPark Capital, Inc., the placement agent (“WestPark”), received a warrant (the “WestPark Warrant”) to purchase the number of shares of Avenue’s common stock equal to $10,000 divided by the price per share at which any note sold to investors first converts into Avenue’s common stock. The WestPark Warrant has a ten-year term and a per share exercise price equal to the price per share at which any note sold to investors first converts into Avenue’s common stock. Avenue’s WestPark Warrant liability was measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs) used in measuring Avenue’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2017 is as follows:

There was no change in fair value of Avenue’s warrant liability for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Helocyte Warrant Liabilities

The fair value of Helocyte’s warrant liability was measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (level 3 inputs) used in measuring Helocyte’s warrant liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2017 is as follows:

Warrants issuable - National

In accordance with the Company’s Merger Agreement with National, since less than 80% of National's issued and outstanding shares of common stock were tendered, National remains a publicly-traded company and National's stockholders post-tender offer will receive from National a five-year warrant per held share to purchase an additional share of National's common stock at $3.25 as a dividend to all holders of National's common stock.

As National does not have the ability to settle the warrants with unregistered shares and maintenance of an effective registration statement may be considered outside of the Company’s control, net cash settlement of the warrants is assumed. The fair value of the 5.4 million National warrants represents 43.4% of the warrants issued to non-Fortress shareholders. These are being classified as a liability in the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at March 31, 2017. Such valuation (using level 3 inputs) was determined by use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

National listed the warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NHLDW” in February 2017.

The table below provides a rollforward of the changes in fair value of Level 3 financial instruments for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, no transfers occurred between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 instruments.

8. Licenses Acquired

In accordance with ASC 730-10-25-1, Research and Development, costs incurred in obtaining technology licenses are charged to research and development expense if the technology licensed has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use. The licenses purchased by Mustang, Checkpoint, Helocyte, Caelum and Cyprium require substantial completion of research and development, regulatory and marketing approval efforts in order to reach technological feasibility. As such, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the purchase price of licenses, totaling approximately $1.3 million, was classified as research and development-licenses acquired in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc.

Jubilant Biosys Limited

In May 2016, Checkpoint entered into a license agreement with Jubilant Biosys Limited (“Jubilant”), whereby Checkpoint obtained an exclusive, worldwide license (the “Jubilant License”) to Jubilant’s family of patents covering compounds that inhibit BRD4, a member of the BET domain for cancer treatment, including CK-103.

The components of non-controlling interests in loss of consolidated entities are as follows:

14. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period.

The Company’s common stock equivalents, including unvested restricted stock, options, and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted average common stock outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share is the same.

The following shares of potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as the effect of including such securities would be anti-dilutive at the end of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

Journey Medical Corporation

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, JMC granted option awards to numerous sales employees exercisable for 290,000 shares of Journey common stock pursuant to its equity award plan.

The fair value of stock options granted was determined on the grant date using assumptions for risk free interest rate, the expected term, expected volatility, and expected dividend yield. The stock price was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow model to determine the weighted market value of invested capital. JMC does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the expected dividend yield is 0%. The expected term for stock options granted with service conditions represents the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the expected term calculated using the approach prescribed by the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 for “plain vanilla” options. JMC obtained the risk-free interest rate from publicly available data published by the Federal Reserve. The volatility rate was computed based on a comparison of average volatility rates of similar companies. The fair value of options granted in 2017 was estimated using the following assumptions:

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

In accordance with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements, the Company has indemnification obligations to its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. There have been no claims to date, and the Company has director and officer insurance to address such claims. Pursuant to agreements with clinical trial sites, the Company provides indemnification to such sites in certain conditions.

Legal Proceedings - Fortress

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may be subject to both insured and uninsured litigation. Suits and claims may be brought against the Company by customers, suppliers, partners and/or third parties (including tort claims for personal injury arising from clinical trials of the Company’s product candidates and property damage) alleging deficiencies in performance, breach of contract, etc., and seeking resulting alleged damages.

Litigation and Regulatory Matters - National

National and its subsidiaries are defendants or respondents in various pending and threatened arbitrations, administrative proceedings and lawsuits seeking compensatory damages. Several cases have no stated alleged damages. Claim amounts are infrequently indicative of the actual amounts National will be liable for, if any. Further, National has a history of collecting amounts awarded in these types of matters from its registered representatives that are still affiliated, as well as from those that are no longer affiliated. Many of these claimants also seek, in addition to compensatory damages, punitive or treble damages, and all seek interest, costs and fees. These matters arise in the normal course of business. National intends to vigorously defend itself in these actions, and the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.

Liabilities for potential losses from complaints, legal actions, government investigations and proceedings are established where National believes that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In making these decisions, management bases its judgments on its knowledge of the situations, consultations with legal counsel and its historical experience in resolving similar matters. In many lawsuits, arbitrations and regulatory proceedings, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the amount of that liability until the matter is close to resolution. However, accruals are reviewed regularly and are adjusted to reflect National’s estimates of the impact of developments, rulings, advice of counsel and any other information pertinent to a particular matter. Because of the inherent difficulty in predicting the ultimate outcome of legal and regulatory actions, management cannot predict with certainty the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters.
