1. Organization and Description of Business

Fortress Biotech, Inc. (“Fortress” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to acquiring, developing and commercializing novel pharmaceutical and biotechnology products. Fortress develops and commercializes products both within Fortress and through certain of its subsidiary companies, also referred to as the “Fortress Companies.” Additionally, the Company has a controlling interest in National Holdings Corporation, a diversified independent brokerage company (together with its subsidiaries, referred to as “NHLD” or “National”). In addition to its internal development programs, the Company leverages its biopharmaceutical business expertise and drug development capabilities and provides funding and management services to help the Fortress Companies achieve their goals. The Company and the Fortress Companies may seek licenses, acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures and/or public and private financings (including financings facilitated by NHLD) to accelerate and provide additional funding to support their research and development programs and the commercialization of biopharmaceutical products.

As of September 30, 2017, in addition to NHLD, the Company has several consolidated Fortress Companies, some of which contain product licenses, including Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (“Avenue”), Aevitas Therapeutics, Inc (“Aevitas”), Cellvation, Inc. (“Cellvation”), Journey Medical Corporation (“Journey or “JMC”), Coronado SO Co. (“Coronado SO”), Checkpoint Therapeutics, Inc. (“Checkpoint”), Mustang Bio, Inc. (“Mustang”), Helocyte, Inc. (“Helocyte”), Escala Therapeutics, Inc. (“Escala”), CB Securities Corporation (which holds investments classified as cash and cash equivalents), Caelum Biosciences, Inc. (“Caelum”) and Cyprium Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cyprium”). In addition to the foregoing companies, Fortress also maintains ownership positions in subsidiaries with minimal activity, including Innmune Limited.

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-K, filed with SEC on December 29, 2016 and their Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 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.

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, Caelum and Aevitas. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The National assets acquired and liabilities assumed and revenues and expenses are reported on a one quarter lag. Therefore, the National assets acquired and liabilities assumed included in these consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017 are actually the assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and the revenues and expenses included in these consolidated financial statements for the quarter ending September 30, 2017 are actually the revenues and expenses for the quarter ending June 30, 2017.

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, with the exception of the policies listed below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016 consisted of cash, money market funds and certificates of deposit in institutions in the United States. Balances at certain institutions have exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits and U.S. government agency securities.

Short-term Investments – Held to Maturity

The company classifies its certificates of deposit as cash and cash equivalents or held to maturity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity in excess of three months when purchased to be short-term investments. Short-term investments consist of short-term FDIC insured certificates of deposit with a maturity of more than three months and less than twelve months, carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The cost of the Company’s certificates of deposit approximated fair value. The Company reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $60.1 million in certificates of deposit with no more than $250,000 at any individual institution. The Company classified $16.0 million as cash and cash equivalents and classified $44.1 million as short-term investments (certificates of deposits) held-to-maturity as of September 30, 2017. There were no short-term investments as of December 31, 2016. This classification was based upon management’s determination that it has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities until their maturity dates, as its investments mature within one year and the underlying cash invested in these securities is not required for current operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the 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.

In January 2017, the FASB issued 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.

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 standard is required to be adopted by taking either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of the new guidance on its accounting policies and procedures and is evaluating the new requirements as applied to existing revenue contracts. The Company will adopt Topic 606 in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method which consists of applying and recognizing the cumulative effect of Topic 606 at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company is in the process of reviewing variable consideration, potential disclosures, and our transition adjustments to complete our evaluation of the impact on our consolidated financial statements prior to the end of 2017. In addition, the Company continues to monitor additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations undertaken by the FASB or others, which may impact our current conclusions.

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 May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-09 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting ASU 2017-11 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. National Holdings Corporation Acquisition – Intangible Assets

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.

In connection with the purchase, the Company 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 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 carrying amount related to acquired intangible assets as of September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017.

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

At June 30, 2017, National’s receivables of $2.8 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 June 30, 2017 of $6.0 million, which principally represent trailing commissions, tax and accounting fees and investment banking fees and are net of an allowance for uncollectable accounts of $0.5 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 June 30, 2017, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

There were no unamortized forgivable loans outstanding at June 30, 2017 attributable to registered representatives who ended their affiliation with National’s subsidiaries prior to the fulfillment of their obligation.

6. Property and Equipment

Fortress's property and equipment, exclusive of National's property and equipment, consisted of the following ($ in thousands):

Fortress's depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and was recorded in both research and development expense and general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fortress's depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and was recorded in both research and development expense and general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

National's property and equipment as of June 30, 2017 consisted of the following ($ in thousands):

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 $0.3 million 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. In August 2017, a clinical trial utilizing this device concluded that there was no strong statistical data demonstrating that the device provided relief from migraine headaches. Accordingly, the third-party company ceased operations and the Company wrote off its investment of $0.3 million. The fair value of this investment was nil as of September 30, 2017 and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2016.

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 termination letter, as supplemented on February 22, 2017, 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. On September 11, 2017, Origo’s shareholders approved a second amendment to the Articles of Association and extended the date by which to consummate a business combination to March 12, 2018.

On July 24, 2017, Origo entered into a Merger Agreement with High Times Holding Corp. (“HTH”), which was later amended on September 27, 2017 (“Amended Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into HTH, with HTH continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”) and all holders of HTH equity securities and warrants, options and rights to acquire or securities that convert into HTH equity securities (collectively, “HTH Securities”) will convert into Origo common shares and, with respect to options, options to acquire Origo common shares.

The Merger Agreement also provides that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Origo will reincorporate under the laws of the State of Nevada, whether by reincorporation, statutory conversion or otherwise.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company valued its investment in Origo, a publicly traded company, utilizing the following assumptions: probability of a successful business combination of 31.4%, and no dividend rate, which yielded an instrument value upon business combination of $10.61 per ordinary share for the private placement shares. The rights and warrants were valued utilizing a binomial-lattice model at a value of $0.33 for each right and $0.31 for each warrant. Based upon the valuation, the Company recorded a decrease in fair-value of investment of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Origo was, $0.9 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”), (see Note 11), 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.

On June 26, 2017, Avenue closed on an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) raising gross proceeds of $38.0 million and issuing 6.3 million common shares at $6.00 per share. As such, pursuant to the terms of Avenue’s $3.0 million NSC Note, Avenue issued to National a warrant to purchase 125,000 of its common shares at par. The issuance of the warrant relates to the completion of Avenue’s IPO in which Avenue’s raised gross proceeds from a third-party party exceeding five times the value of the debt. Upon the issuance of the warrant by Avenue, the Company was removed as the guarantor on the note.

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. Avenue’s WestPark Warrant liability was measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology.

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 received 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 September 30, 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.
