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 assets, fair value of stock options and warrants, stock-based compensation, common stock issued to acquire licenses, investments, accrued expenses, provisions for income taxes, and contingencies. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of this revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenues primarily result from contracts with customers, which are generally short-term and have a single performance obligation — the delivery of product. The Company’s performance obligation to deliver products is satisfied when the goods are received by the customer, which is the point at which the customer obtains title to, and accepts the risks and rewards of ownership of, the products. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

​

Many of the Company’s products sold are subject to trade discounts, rebates, coupons and right of return. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for variable consideration, including discounts, rebates, governmental rebate programs, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, promotional programs and other sales allowances. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as reductions in determining net sales and as a contra asset in accounts receivable, net (if settled via credit) and other current liabilities (if paid in cash). Amounts recorded for revenue deductions can result from a complex series of  judgements about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The following section briefly describes the nature of the Company’s provisions for variable consideration and how such provisions are estimated.

Trade Discounts and Other Sales Allowances — The Company provides trade discounts and allowances to its wholesale customers for sales order management, data, and distribution services. The Company also provides for prompt pay discounts if payment is received within the payment term days which generally range from 30 to 75 days. These discounts and allowances are recorded at the time of sale based on the customer’s contracted rate and have been recorded as a reduction of revenue and a reduction to accounts receivables.

Product Returns — Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers customers a right to return any unused product. Such right of return commences six months prior to the product expiration date and ends one year after the product expiration date. Products returned for expiration are reimbursed at current or contracted price, less 5%. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and accrues this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return reserves using available industry data and its own sales information, including its visibility and estimates into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel.

The Company currently estimates product returns to be approximately 3% of gross sales to the wholesalers. The 3% return rate is estimated by using both historical and industry data. The Company monitors product returns on a quarterly basis, and will adjust the estimated return percentage if needed. The Company does not estimate returns for sales made to specialty pharmacies as their historical ordering pattern is approximately every two weeks and, as such, inventory turns every two weeks.

Government Chargebacks — Chargebacks for fees and discounts to indirect qualified government healthcare providers represent the estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and 340B entities at prices lower than the list prices charged to customers who purchase product directly from the Company. Customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the statutory selling price to the qualified government entity. These allowances are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and accounts receivable, net. The chargeback amount from our direct customers is generally determined at the time of our direct customers’ resale to the qualified government healthcare provider, and the Company generally issues credits for such amounts within a few weeks of our direct customer’s notification to the Company of the resale. The allowance for chargebacks is based on expected sellthrough levels by our direct customers to indirect customers, as well as estimated wholesaler inventory levels.

Government Rebates — The Company is subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and Medicare. These accruals are recorded in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap, for whom the Company will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program. For Medicaid programs, the Company estimates the portion of sales attributed to Medicaid patients and records a liability for the rebates to be paid to the respective state Medicaid programs. The Company’s liability for these rebates consists of invoices received for: claims from prior quarters that have not been paid or for which an invoice has not yet been received; estimates of claims for the current quarter; and estimated future claims that will be made for product that has been recognized as revenue, but which remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period.

Coupons — The Company offers coupons on products for qualified commercially-insured parties with prescription drug co-payments. Such product sales flow through both traditional wholesaler and specialty pharmacy channels. Approximately 85% of the Company's product revenues are sold through the specialty pharmacy channel, which has a shorter cycle from the Company’s sales date to the fulfilment of the prescription by the specialty pharmacy customer, resulting in less inventory in this channel. Coupons are processed and redeemed at the time of prescription fulfilment by the pharmacy, and the Company is charged for the coupons redeemed monthly. The majority of coupon liability at the end of the period represents coupons that have been redeemed and for which the Company has been billed, and an accrual for expected redemptions for product in the distribution channel. This element of the liability requires the Company to estimate the distribution channel inventory at period end, the expected redemption rates, and the cost per coupon claim that the Company expects to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. The estimate of product remaining in the distribution channel is comprised of actual inventory at the wholesaler as well as an estimate of inventory at the specialty pharmacies, which the Company estimates based upon historical ordering patterns, which consist of reordering approximately every two weeks. The estimated redemption rate is based on historical redemptions as a percentage of units sold. The cost per coupon is based on the coupon rate.

Managed Care Rebates — The Company offers managed care rebates to certain providers. The Company calculates rebate payment amounts due under this program based on actual qualifying products and applies a contractual discount rate. The accrual is based on an estimate of claims that the Company expects to receive and inventory in the distribution channel. The accrual is recognized at the time of sale, resulting in a reduction of product revenue.

Collaboration Revenue

​

Our collaboration revenue includes service revenue, license fees and future contingent milestone based payments. We recognize collaboration revenue for contracted R&D services performed for our customers over time. We measure our progress using an input method based on the effort we expend or costs we incur toward the satisfaction of our performance obligation. We estimate the amount of effort we expend, including the time it will take us to complete the activities, or the costs we may incur in a given period, relative to the estimated total effort or costs to satisfy the performance obligation. This results in a percentage that we multiply by the transaction price to determine the amount of revenue we recognize each period. This approach requires us to make estimates and use judgement. If our estimates or judgements change over the course of the collaboration, they may affect the timing and amount of revenue that we recognize in the current and future periods.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report, other than the accounting for inventory, partner company convertible preferred shares and sequencing.

Partner Company Convertible Preferred Shares

The Journey 8% Cumulative Convertible Class A Preferred Stock (“Journey Preferred Stock”) includes settlement features that result in liability classification. The initial carrying value of the Journey Preferred Stock is accreted to the expected settlement value, a fixed monetary amount to be settled by issuing a variable number of Journey common shares. The discount to the settlement value is accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2021, the Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU will be effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

​

​

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU sets forth a current expected credit loss model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
