| 1. | BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
Overview
ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary, ANIP
Acquisition Company (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)
is an integrated specialty pharmaceutical company developing, manufacturing, and marketing branded and generic prescription pharmaceuticals.
Our targeted areas of product development currently include narcotics, oncolytics (anti-cancers), hormones and steroids, and complex
formulations involving extended release and combination products. We have two pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities located in
Baudette, Minnesota that are capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as liquids and topicals, narcotics, and potent
products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment. Our strategy is to use our assets to develop, acquire, manufacture,
and market branded and generic specialty prescription pharmaceuticals. By executing this strategy, we believe we will be able to
continue to grow the business, expand and diversify our product portfolio, and create long-term value for our investors.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“U.S. GAAP”). In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014, has been derived from audited financial
statements of that date. The interim condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading when these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2014. Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, ANIP Acquisition Company. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP requires us 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 financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. In the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for,
but not limited to, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for chargebacks, rebates, returns and other
allowances, allowance for inventory obsolescence, allowances for contingencies and litigation, fair value of long-lived assets,
income tax provision, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, and the depreciable and amortizable lives of long-lived assets. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
| 1. | BUSINESS, PRESENTATION, AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
– continued |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements,
along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify
the contract, 2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5)
recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of
revenue arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one –year deferral, making
the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new accounting pronouncement
will have on our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance as to whether
a cloud computing arrangement (e.g., software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and other similar
hosting arrangements) includes a software license and, based on that determination, how to account for such arrangements. If a
cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the
arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software
license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendment is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.
We do not expect the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify
the balance sheet disclosure for debt issuance costs. Under the guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability
will be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, in the same manner
as debt discounts, rather than as an asset. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and
early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement will result
in a reclassification of deferred financing costs from assets to contra-liabilities.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance for
inventory. Under the guidance, an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this guidance at the lower of cost
and net realizable value, except when inventory is measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal,
and transportation. In addition, the FASB has amended some of the other inventory guidance to more clearly articulate the
requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2016. The amendments in this pronouncement should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted.
We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new accounting pronouncement will have on our financial statements.
We have evaluated all other issued and unadopted
Accounting Standards Updates and believe the adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on our results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
| 2. | REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RELATED ALLOWANCES |
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized for product sales and
contract manufacturing product sales upon passing of risk and title to the customer, when estimates of the selling price and
discounts, Medicaid rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, and other potential
adjustments are reasonably determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and we have no further performance obligations.
Contract manufacturing arrangements are typically less than two weeks in duration, and therefore the revenue is recognized
upon completion of the aforementioned factors rather than using a proportional performance method of revenue recognition. The
estimates for discounts, Medicaid rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, and other
potential adjustments reduce gross revenues to net revenues in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated
statements of operations, and are presented as current liabilities or reductions in accounts receivable in the accompanying
unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets (see “Accruals for Chargebacks, Rebates, Returns, and Other
Allowances,” below). Historically, we have not entered into revenue arrangements with multiple
elements.
Occasionally, we engage in contract services, which
include product development services, laboratory services, and royalties on net sales of certain contract manufactured products.
For these services, revenue is recognized according to the terms of the agreement with the customer, which sometimes include substantive,
measurable risk-based milestones, and when we have a contractual right to receive such payment, the contract price is fixed or
determinable, the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, and we have no further performance obligations
under the agreement.
Accruals for Chargebacks, Rebates, Returns
and Other Allowances
Our generic and branded product revenues are typically
subject to agreements with customers allowing chargebacks, Medicaid rebates, product returns, administrative fees, and other rebates
and prompt payment discounts. We accrue for these items at the time of sale and continually monitor and re-evaluate the accruals
as additional information becomes available. We adjust the accruals at the end of each reporting period, to reflect any such updates
to the relevant facts and circumstances. Accruals are relieved upon receipt of payment from the customer or upon issuance of credit
to the customer.
The following table summarizes activity in the consolidated
balance sheets for accruals and allowances for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Credit Concentration
Our customers are primarily wholesale distributors,
chain drug stores, group purchasing organizations, and pharmaceutical companies.
During the three-month period ended September 30,
2015, four customers represented 25%, 19%, 17%, and 11% of net revenues, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September
30, 2015, these same four customers represented 21%, 21%, 19%, and 14% of net revenues, respectively. As of September 30, 2015,
net accounts receivable from these customers totaled $16.9 million. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, four
customers represented 26%, 23%, 16%, and 15% of net revenues. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, these same
four customers represented 26%, 20%, 16%, and 10% of net revenues, respectively.
Convertible Senior Notes
In December 2014, we issued $143.8 million of our
Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) in a registered public offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts
and commissions and other expenses (including the net cost of the bond hedge and warrant, discussed below), the net proceeds from
the offering were approximately $122.6 million. The Notes pay 3.0% interest semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December
1 of each year, starting on June 1, 2015 and are due December 1, 2019. The Notes are convertible into 2,068,793 shares of common
stock, based on an initial conversion price of $69.48 per share.
The Notes are convertible at the option of the holder
(i) during any calendar quarter beginning after March 31, 2015, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least
20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day,
(ii) during the five business days after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal
amount of the Notes for each trading day of such period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our
common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; and (iii) on or after June 1, 2019 until the second scheduled trading
day immediately preceding the maturity date.
Upon conversion by the holders, we may elect to settle
such conversion in shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination thereof. As a result of our cash conversion option, we separately
accounted for the value of the embedded conversion option as a debt discount (with an offset to Additional Paid in Capital (“APIC”))
of $33.6 million. The value of the embedded conversion option was determined based on the estimated fair value of the debt without
the conversion feature, which was determined using market comparables to estimate the fair value of similar non-convertible debt
(see Note 12). The debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense using the effective interest method
over the term of the Notes.
Offering costs of $5.5 million have been allocated
to the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds to the components, as deferred financing costs and
equity issuance costs, respectively. The deferred financing costs of $4.2 million are being amortized as additional non-cash interest
expense using the straight-line method over the term of the debt, since this method was not significantly different from the effective
interest method. The $1.3 million portion allocated to equity issuance costs was charged to APIC.
| 3. | INDEBTEDNESS – continued |
A portion of the offering proceeds was used to simultaneously
enter into “bond hedge” (or purchased call) and “warrant” (or written call) transactions with an affiliate
of one of the offering underwriters (collectively, the “Call Option Overlay”). We entered into the Call Option Overlay
to synthetically raise the initial conversion price of the Notes to $96.21 per share and reduce the potential common stock dilution
that may arise from the conversion of the Notes. The exercise price of the bond hedge is $69.48 per share, with an underlying 2,068,792
common shares; the exercise price of the warrant is $96.21 per share of our common stock, also with an underlying 2,068,792 common
shares. Because the bond hedge and warrant are both indexed to our common stock and otherwise would be classified as equity, we
recorded both elements as equity, resulting in a net reduction to APIC of $15.6 million.

The effective interest rate on the Notes is 7.7%,
on an annualized basis.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
For periods of net income, and when the effects are
not anti-dilutive, we calculate diluted earnings per share by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average
number of shares outstanding plus the impact of all potential dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common stock options,
unvested restricted stock awards, stock purchase warrants, and any conversion gain on our Notes (see Note 3), using the treasury
stock method. For periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share.
Our unvested restricted shares contain non-forfeitable
rights to dividends, and therefore are considered to be participating securities; in periods of net income, the calculation of
basic and diluted earnings per share excludes from the numerator net income attributable to the unvested restricted shares, and
excludes the impact of those shares from the denominator.
| 4. | EARNINGS PER SHARE – continued |
For purposes of determining diluted earnings per
share, we have elected a policy to assume that the principal portion of the Notes (see Note 3) is settled in cash. As such, the
principal portion of the Notes has no effect on either the numerator or denominator when determining diluted earnings per share.
Any conversion gain is assumed to be settled in shares and is incorporated in diluted earnings per share using the treasury method.
The warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes (see Note 3) are considered to be dilutive when they are in-the-money
relative to our average stock price during the period; the bond hedge purchased in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes is
always considered to be anti-dilutive.
Earnings per share for the three and nine-months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are calculated for basic and diluted earnings per share as follows:

The number of anti-dilutive shares, which have been
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, including the shares underlying the Notes, was 4.5 million and 0.7
million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was 4.6 million and 0.7 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Anti-dilutive shares consist of out-of-the-money Class C Special stock,
out-of-the-money common stock options, common stock options that are anti-dilutive when calculating the impact of the potential
dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method, and out-of-the-money warrants exercisable for common stock.
As of September 30, 2015, we have options outstanding
to purchase 0.5 million shares of common stock, warrants outstanding to purchase 2.2 million shares of common stock, and 76 thousand
unvested restricted stock awards outstanding.

Vendor Concentration
We source the raw materials for our products, including
active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”), from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single
source of API is qualified for use in each product due to the costs and time required to validate a second source of supply. As
a result, we are dependent upon our current vendors to reliably supply the API required for ongoing product manufacturing. During
the three months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased approximately 35% of our inventory from two suppliers. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased approximately 44% of our inventory from three suppliers. As of September 30, 2015,
amounts payable to these three suppliers totaled $0.7 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased approximately
49% of our inventory from two suppliers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased approximately 43% of our
inventory from the same two suppliers.

| 7. | GOODWILL
AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
Goodwill
As a result of our 2013 merger with BioSante Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (“BioSante”), we recorded goodwill of $1.8 million in our one reporting unit. We assess the recoverability of
the carrying value of goodwill as of October 31 of each year, and whenever events occur or circumstances change that would, more
likely than not, reduce the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying value. There have been no events or changes in
circumstances that would have reduced the fair value of our reporting unit below its carrying value from the most recent assessment
on October 31, 2014, through September 30, 2015. No impairment losses were recognized during the three or nine months ended September
30, 2015 or 2014.
Acquisition of Abbreviated New Drug Applications
In March 2015 we purchased from Teva Pharmaceuticals
(“Teva”) the Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for a generic product, Flecainide Acetate tablets,
for $4.5 million in cash and a percentage of future gross profits from product sales. We accounted for this transaction as an asset
purchase. The ANDA is being amortized in full over its useful life of 10 years.
In July 2015, we purchased from Teva the ANDAs for
22 previously marketed generic drug products for $25.0 million in cash and a percentage of future gross profits from product sales.
We accounted for this transaction as an asset purchase. The ANDAs are being amortized in full over their useful life of 10 years.
Testosterone Gel NDA
As part of our 2013 merger with BioSante, we acquired
a testosterone gel product that was licensed to Teva (the “Teva license”). In May 2015, we acquired from Teva the approved
New Drug Application (“NDA”) for the previously-licensed product. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement,
upon commercialization, we will pay Teva a royalty of up to $5 million, at a rate of 5% of the consideration we receive as a result
of commercial sale of the product. We have assessed the value of the Teva license under the new structure and determined
that the asset was not impaired as of the May 2015 acquisition date. We will continue to assess the asset for potential impairment
on an on-going basis.
Marketing and Distribution Rights
In August 2015, we entered into a distribution
agreement with IDT Australia Limited (“IDT”) to market several products in the U.S. (the “IDT
Agreement”). The products have associated ANDAs that require various FDA approvals prior to commercialization. In
general, IDT will be responsible for regulatory submissions of the products and the manufacturing of certain products. We
made an upfront payment to IDT of $1.0 million and will make additional milestone payments upon FDA approval for
commercialization of certain products. Upon approval, IDT will manufacture some of the products and we will manufacture the
other products. We will be responsible for marketing and distributing all the products under our label, in the United States,
providing a percentage of profits from sales of the drugs to IDT. The $1.0 million upfront payment was recorded as a
marketing and distribution rights intangible asset and will be amortized in full over its seven-year useful life.

Our acquired ANDA intangible assets consist of the
exclusive rights, including all of the applicable technical data and other relevant information, to produce certain pharmaceutical
products that we acquired from various companies, including the group of ANDAs acquired from Teva in the first quarter of 2014
and the additional ANDAs acquired in 2015. The product rights assets consist of the exclusive rights, including all of the applicable
technical data and other relevant information, to produce certain branded pharmaceutical products that we acquired from various
companies, including the Lithobid and Vancocin products acquired in the third quarter of 2014. The testosterone gel NDA was acquired
in May 2015. Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost, net of amortization using the straight line method over the expected
useful lives of the intangible assets. Amortization expense was $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September
30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Amortization expense was $4.3 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2015 and 2014, respectively.
We test for impairment of definite-lived intangible
assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. No such triggering events
were identified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and therefore no impairment loss was recognized
in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

September 30, 2015, 0.5 million shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2008 Plan.
Total expense related to stock options for the three
months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.9 million, $23 thousand of which was recognized as cost of sales, $31 thousand as research
and development expense, and $0.8 million as sales, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense. Total expense
related to stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.1 million, $60 thousand of which was recognized as
cost of sales, $80 thousand as research and development expense, and $2.0 million as SG&A expense. Total expense related to
stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.6 million, $18 thousand of which was recognized as cost of sales,
$10 thousand as research and development expense, and $0.6 million as SG&A expense. Total expense related to stock options
for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $2.5 million, $1.3 million of which was a non-recurring catch-up adjustment related
to the 325 thousand stock options previously approved by the Board of Directors on July 12, 2013 and August 1, 2013, which were
approved at the May 22, 2014 annual meeting. Of the $2.5 million of stock option expense recognized in the nine months ended September
30, 2014, $0.1 million was recognized as cost of sales, $0.1 million as research and development expense, and $2.3 million as SG&A
expense. Total expense related to restricted stock grants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $0.3 million
and $0.6 million, respectively, all of which was recognized as SG&A expense. Total expense related to restricted stock grants
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, all of which was recognized
as SG&A expense.

On March 10, 2014, we completed a follow-on public
offering of 1.6 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $31.00 per share (the “March 2014 Offering”).
We received gross proceeds of $50.0 million, or net proceeds of $46.7 million after deducting costs of $3.3 million, including
the underwriters’ fees and commissions, as well as expenses directly related to the March 2014 Offering .
The number of shares sold in the March 2014 Offering includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase
an additional 0.2 million shares of common stock.
| 9. | STOCKHOLDER’S
EQUITY – continued |
Warrants to purchase 0.1 million and 0.3 million
shares of common stock expired unexercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. No warrants
to purchase shares of common stock expired unexercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. No warrants to
purchase shares of common stock were exercised in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. In January 2014, warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 20 thousand shares of common stock were exercised at $9.00 per share.
We use the asset and liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.
The measurement of a deferred tax asset is reduced,
if necessary, by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not
be realized. As of both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had provided a valuation allowance against certain state net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.1 million. For interim periods, we recognize an income tax provision/(benefit)
based on our estimated annual effective tax rate expected for the entire year. We calculate income tax benefits related to stock-based
compensation arrangements using the with and without method.
We
use a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties and
financial statement reporting disclosures. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to
be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. We have not identified any uncertain income tax positions that could have
a material impact on the financial statements. We are subject to taxation in various jurisdictions and all of our income tax returns
remain subject to examination by tax authorities due to the availability of NOL carryforwards.
We
recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax exposures as a component of income tax expense. We did not have
any such amounts accrued as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
We have elected to exclude the impacts from significant
pre-tax non-recognized subsequent events from our estimated annual effective rate. The utilization of our NOL carryforwards will
be limited in future years as prescribed by Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
The effective tax rate for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2015 was 31.4% of pre-tax income reported in the period, calculated based on the estimated annual effective
rate anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2015. The 19.4% effective tax rate for the three-month period ended September
30, 2015 was primarily driven by current quarter changes in forecasted pre-tax income, estimated permanent differences, and state
income tax rates, as well as from the impact of current quarter exercises of incentives and non-qualified stock options and disqualifying
dispositions of incentive stock options. For the comparable three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, the effective
tax rates were 18.6% and 16.9% of pre-tax income reported in the period, respectively, calculated based on the estimated annual
effective rate anticipated for the year ended December 31, 2014.

AND CONTINGENCIES |
Asset Acquisition of New Drug Applications
In September 2015, we entered into an asset
purchase agreement with Merck Sharp & Dohme B.V. (“Merck”) to purchase, subject to typical closing conditions
including regulatory approvals, certain NDAs and associated product rights and manufacturing licenses for $75.0 million in
cash and a percentage of future net sales of the products under the NDAs. The asset acquisition is expected to close in
January 2016. We anticipate that we will make the $75.0 million cash payment using cash in hand.
Specifically, we will acquire Merck’s
right, title and interest in the NDA for purified corticotropin gel, 40 units/mL and 80 units/mL and the NDA for
corticotropin-zinc hydroxide, 40 units/mL, along with certain documentation and trademark applications relating to the products under
the NDAs. We will also receive a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual right and license to certain manufacturing
technology relating to the manufacture of the products under the NDAs.
Operating Leases
We lease equipment under operating leases that expire
in May 2017 and September 2018. We also lease office space under operating leases that expire beginning in February 2016 through
September 2018. Future minimum lease payments due under these leases total $0.2 million as of September 30, 2015.
Rent expense for the three months ended September
30, 2015 and 2014 totaled $19 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively. Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015
and 2014 totaled $57 thousand and $53 thousand, respectively.
Government Regulation
Our products and facilities are subject to regulation
by a number of federal and state governmental agencies. The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), in particular, maintains
oversight of the formulation, manufacture, distribution, packaging and labeling of all of our products. The Drug Enforcement Administration
(“DEA”) maintains oversight over our products that are controlled substances.
Unapproved Products
Two of our products, Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone
tablets (“EEMT”) and Opium Tincture, are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs. During the three months ended September
30, 2015 and 2014, net revenues for these products totaled $12.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, net revenues for these products totaled $33.8 million and $19.4 million, respectively.
The FDA's policy with respect to the continued marketing
of unapproved products is stated in the FDA's September 2011 Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 440.100 titled “Marketed New Drugs
without Approved NDAs or ANDAs.” Under this policy, the FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based approach with regard
to enforcement against such unapproved products. The FDA evaluates whether to initiate enforcement action on a case-by-case basis,
but gives higher priority to enforcement action against products in certain categories, such as those marketed as unapproved drugs
with potential safety risks or that lack evidence of effectiveness. We believe that, so long as we comply with applicable manufacturing
standards, the FDA will not take action against us under the current enforcement policy. There can be no assurance, however, that
the FDA will continue this policy or not take a contrary position with any individual product or group of products. If the FDA
were to take a contrary position, we may be required to seek FDA approval for these products or withdraw such products from the
market. If we decide to withdraw the products from the market, our net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products would decline
materially, and if we decide to seek FDA approval, we would face increased expenses and might need to suspend sales of the products
until such approval was obtained, and there are no assurances that we would receive such approval.

AND CONTINGENCIES – continued |
In addition, one group of products that we manufacture
on behalf of a contract customer is marketed by that customer without an approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against
such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from the market. Our
contract manufacturing revenues for these unapproved products for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $0.3
million and $0.2 million, respectively. Our contract manufacturing revenues for these unapproved products for the nine months ended
September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.
We receive royalties on the net sales of a group
of contract-manufactured products, which are marketed by the contract customer without an approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement
action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products or withdraw them from
the market. Our royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products for each of the three months ended September 30, 2015 and
2014 were $0.1 million. Our royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products for the nine months ended September
30, 2015 and 2014 were $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Louisiana Medicaid Lawsuit
On September 11, 2013, the Attorney General
of the State of Louisiana filed a lawsuit in Louisiana state court against numerous pharmaceutical companies, including us, under
various state laws, alleging that each defendant caused the state’s Medicaid agency to provide reimbursement for drug products
that allegedly were not approved by the FDA and therefore allegedly not reimbursable under the federal Medicaid program. The lawsuit
relates to three cough and cold prescription products manufactured and sold by our former Gulfport, Mississippi operation, which
was sold in September 2010. Through its lawsuit, the state seeks unspecified damages, statutory fines, penalties, attorneys’
fees and costs. While we cannot predict the outcome of the lawsuit at this time, we could be subject to material damages, penalties
and fines. We intend to vigorously defend against all claims in the lawsuit.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
All manufacturers of the drug Reglan and its generic
equivalent metoclopramide, including ANI, are facing allegations from plaintiffs in various states, including California, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, claiming bodily injuries as a result of ingestion of metoclopramide or its brand name, Reglan, prior to the FDA's
February 2009 Black Box warning requirement. In August 2012, we were dismissed with prejudice from all New Jersey cases. We consider
our exposure to this litigation to be limited due to several factors: (1) the only generic metoclopramide that we manufactured
prior to the implementation of the FDA's warning requirement was an oral solution introduced after May 28, 2008; (2) our market
share for the oral solution was a very small portion of the overall metoclopramide market; and (3) once we received a request for
change of labeling from the FDA, we submitted our proposed changes within 30 days, and such changes were subsequently approved
by the FDA.
At the present time, we are unable to assess the
likely outcome of the cases in the remaining states. Our insurance company has assumed the defense of this matter. We cannot provide
assurances that the outcome of these matters will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating
results. Furthermore, like all pharmaceutical manufacturers, we may be exposed to other product liability claims in the future,
which could further limit our coverage under future insurance policies or cause those policies to become more expensive, which
could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
| 12. | FAIR
VALUE DISCLOSURES |
Fair value is the price that would be received from
the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement
date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs
used in measuring fair value.
The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash
and cash equivalents are considered to be level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market
values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of our funds. The fair
value of short-term financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
borrowings under line of credit, and other current liabilities) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.
While our Notes are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at their net carrying value of $115.2 million as of September 30,
2015, the Notes are being traded on the bond market and their full fair value is $131.4 million, based on their closing price on
September 30, 2015, a Level 1 input.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair
Value on a Recurring Basis
Our contingent value rights (“CVRs”),
which were granted coincident with our merger with BioSante, are considered contingent consideration and are classified as liabilities.
As such, the CVRs were recorded as purchase consideration at their estimated fair value, using level 3 inputs, and are marked to
market each reporting period until settlement. The fair value of CVRs is estimated using the present value of our projection of
the expected payments pursuant to the terms of the CVR agreement, which is the primary unobservable input. If our projection or
expected payments were to increase substantially, the value of the CVRs could increase as a result. The present value of the liability
was calculated using a discount rate of 15%. We determined that the fair value of the CVRs, and the changes in such fair value,
was immaterial as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
The following table presents our financial assets
and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, by level within
the fair value hierarchy:

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on
a Non-Recurring Basis
In December 2014, we issued
$143.8M of Notes (see Note 3). Because we have the option to cash settle the potential conversion of the Notes in cash, we
separated the embedded conversion option feature from the debt feature and account for each component separately, based on the
fair value of the debt component assuming no conversion option. The calculation of the fair value of the debt component required
the use of Level 3 inputs, and was determined by calculating the fair value of similar non-convertible debt, using a theoretical
interest rate of 9%. The theoretical interest rate was determined from market comparables to estimate what the interest rate would
have been if there was no conversion option embedded in the Notes. The fair value of the embedded conversion option was calculated
using the residual value method and is classified as equity.
| 12. | FAIR
VALUE DISCLOSURES - continued |
A portion of the offering proceeds was used to simultaneously
enter into “bond hedge” (or purchased call) and “warrant” (or written call) transactions with an affiliate
of one of the offering underwriters (see Note 3). The exercise price of the bond hedge is $69.48 per share, with an underlying
2,068,792 common shares; the exercise price of the warrant is $96.21 per share of our common stock, also with an underlying 2,068,792
common shares.
We calculated the fair value of the bond hedge based
on the price we paid to purchase the call. We calculated the fair value of the warrant based on the price at which the affiliate
purchased the warrants from us. Because the bond hedge and warrant are both indexed to our common stock and otherwise would be
classified as equity, we recorded both elements as equity, resulting in a net reduction to APIC of $15.6 million.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We do not have any non-financial assets
and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured
at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
We measure our long-lived assets, including
property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are
recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. No such fair value impairment was
recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
In March 2015, we purchased from Teva the ANDA for
Flecainide Acetate tablets for $4.5 million in cash and a percentage of future gross profits from product sales. The value of the
ANDA was based on the purchase price of $4.5 million.
In July 2015, we purchased from Teva the ANDAs for
22 previously marketed generic drug products for $25.0 million in cash and a percentage of future gross profits from product sales.
The value of the ANDAs was based on the total purchase price of $25.0 million.
In October 2015, our Board of Directors
authorized a program to repurchase up to $25.0 million of our common stock. The authorization allows for repurchases to be
conducted through open market or privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2016. The stock repurchase program
may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time at our discretion.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements, based on current expectations and related to future events and our future financial
performance, that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of many important factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned, consolidated
subsidiary, ANIP Acquisition Company (together, “ANI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,”
or “our”) is an integrated specialty pharmaceutical company developing, manufacturing, and marketing branded and generic
prescription pharmaceuticals. Our targeted areas of product development currently include narcotics, oncolytics (anti-cancers),
hormones and steroids, and complex formulations involving extended release and combination products. We have two pharmaceutical
manufacturing facilities located in Baudette, Minnesota that are capable of producing oral solid dose products, as well as liquids
and topicals, narcotics, and potent products that must be manufactured in a fully-contained environment.
Our strategy is to use our assets to develop, acquire, manufacture,
and market branded and generic specialty prescription pharmaceuticals. By executing this strategy, we believe we will be able to
continue to grow the business, expand and diversify our product portfolio, and create long-term value for our investors.
Our products include both branded
and generic pharmaceuticals, specifically:
Generic Products |
|
Branded Products |
Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone |
|
Cortenema |
Etodolac
Fluvoxamine Maleate |
|
Reglan
Lithobid |
Hydrocortisone Enema |
|
Vancocin |
Methazolamide
Metoclopramide Syrup
Opium Tincture
Oxycodone Hydrochloride Oral Solution
Propafenone
Vancomycin |
|
|
We consider a variety of criteria in determining which products
to develop, all of which influence the level of competition upon product launch. These criteria include:
| · | Formulation Complexity. Our development and manufacturing
capabilities enable us to manufacture pharmaceuticals that are difficult to produce, including highly potent, extended release,
combination, and low dosage products. This ability to manufacture a variety of complex products is a competitive strength that
we intend to leverage in selecting products to develop or manufacture. |
| · | Patent Status. We seek to develop products
whose branded bioequivalents do not have long-term patent protection or existing patent challenges. |
| · | Market Size. When determining whether to
develop or acquire an individual product, we review the current and expected market size for that product at launch, as well as
forecasted price erosion upon conversion from branded to generic pricing. We endeavor to manufacture products with sufficient market
size to enable us to enter the market with a strong likelihood of being able to price our product both competitively and at a profit. |
| · | Profit Potential. We research the availability
and cost of active pharmaceutical ingredients in determining which products to develop or acquire. In determining the potential
profit of a product, we forecast our anticipated market share, pricing, which includes expected price erosion caused by competition
from other generic manufacturers, and the estimated cost to manufacture the products. |
| · | Manufacturing. We generally seek to develop
and manufacture products at our own manufacturing plants in order to maximize the capacity and utilization of our facilities, to
ensure quality control in our products, and to maximize profit potential. |
| · | Competition. When determining whether to
develop or acquire an individual product, we research the existing and expected market share of generic competitors. We seek to
develop products for which we can obtain a large market share, and may decline to develop a product if we anticipate many generic
competitors. Our highly specialized manufacturing facilities provide a means of entering niche markets, such as hormone therapies,
in which fewer generic companies would be able to compete. |

We derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of generic
and branded pharmaceutical products, contract manufacturing, and contract services, which include product development services,
laboratory services, and royalties on net sales of certain products.
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were
$20.0 million compared to $17.4 for the same period in 2014, an increase of $2.6 million, or 14.9%, primarily as a result
of the following factors:
| · | Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $15.1 million
during the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 48.2% compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2014.
The primary reason for the increase was increased Esterified Estrogen with Methyltestosterone tablets (“EEMT”) revenues,
due to new customer contracts that began in the third quarter, as well as sales of Methazolamide, launched in the fourth quarter
of 2014, and Etodolac and Propafenone both of which were launched in the first quarter of 2015. We also experienced increased sales
for our HC Enema product, due to price increases. |
As described in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies,
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report, we
market EEMT and Opium Tincture without FDA-approved New Drug Applications (“NDAs”). The FDA's policy with respect to
the continued marketing of unapproved products appears in the FDA's September 2011 Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 440.100 titled
"Marketed New Drugs without Approved NDAs or ANDAs." Under this policy, the FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based
approach with regard to enforcement against marketing of unapproved products. The FDA evaluates whether to initiate enforcement
action on a case-by-case basis, but gives higher priority to enforcement action against products in certain categories, such as
those with potential safety risks or that lack evidence of effectiveness. While we believe that, so long as we comply with applicable
manufacturing standards, the FDA will not take action against us under the current enforcement policy, we can offer no assurances
that the FDA will continue this policy or not take a contrary position with any individual product or group of products. Our combined
net revenues for these products for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $12.5 million and $8.9 million,
respectively.
| · | Net revenues for branded pharmaceutical products were $2.3
million during the three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of 53.1% compared to $4.8 million for the same period in
2014. The primary reasons for the decrease were lower unit sales of Reglan, due to decreased purchases by a customer, and
decreases in unit sales and increased Medicaid utilization and Medicaid rebates for both
Lithobid and Vancocin, each of which are trends we expect to continue. |
| · | Contract manufacturing revenues were $1.3 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of 5.2% compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2014, due to timing of
orders from contract manufacturing customers in the period. As described in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, in the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report, we contract
manufacture a group of products on behalf of a customer that are marketed by that customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the
FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products
or withdraw them from the market. Our contract manufacturing revenues for the group of unapproved products for the three months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. |
| · | Contract services and other income were $1.3 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 28.2% from $1.0 million for the same period in 2014, due primarily to
royalties on sales of the authorized generic of Vancocin, the product rights to which were acquired in the third quarter of
2014. In November 2015, we launched an authorized generic for Vancocin under our own label, which will replace the authorized
generic
product
currently on the market. |
As described in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies,
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report, we
receive royalties on the net sales of a group of contract-manufactured products, which are marketed by the customer without an
FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for
the group of products or withdraw them from the market. Our royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products were $0.1 million
for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, cost of sales
increased to $3.3 million from $3.1 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $0.2 million or 6.5%, primarily as
a result of increased sales in the period. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 16.3% during the three
months ended September 30, 2015, from 17.6% during same period in 2014, primarily as a result of a favorable shift in product mix
toward higher margin products, principally EEMT.
We source the raw materials for our products, including active
pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”), from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single source
of API is qualified for use in each product due to the cost and time required to validate a second source of supply. Changes in
API suppliers usually must be approved by the FDA, which can take 18 months or longer. As a result, we are dependent upon
our current vendors to reliably supply the API required for ongoing product manufacturing. In addition, certain of our API for
our drug products, including those that are marketed without approved NDAs or ANDAs, are sourced from international suppliers.
From time to time, we have experienced temporary disruptions in the supply of certain of such imported APIs due to FDA inspections.
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased 35% of our inventory from two suppliers. As of September 30, 2015,
amounts payable to these two suppliers totaled $0.7 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased 49% of
our inventory from two suppliers. Each year, we must submit a request to the Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) for a
quota to purchase the amount of API needed to manufacture Opium Tincture. Without an approved quota from the DEA, we would not
be able to purchase API from our supplier. As a result, we are dependent upon the DEA to annually approve a sufficient quota of
API to support the continued manufacture of Opium Tincture.

expenses increased to $8.3 million from $6.1 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $2.1 million, or 34.8%,
primarily as a result of the following factors:
| · | Depreciation and amortization increased from $1.2 million to $2.0
million, an increase of 72.5%, due primarily to amortization of the Flecainide ANDA and the basket of ANDAs acquired from Teva
in the first and third quarters of 2015, respectively. |
| · | Research and development expenses decreased slightly from $0.9 million
to $0.8 million, a decrease of 7.7%, due to timing of work on development projects. Current projects include work on the ANDAs
purchased from Teva in 2014 and 2015 and collaborations with partners. |
| · | Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $4.1 million
to $5.4 million, an increase of 33.1%, primarily due to increased expenses associated with business development activities, increased
stock-based compensation expense, and increases in personnel and related costs. |

Our provision for income taxes consists of current and deferred
components, which include changes in our deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), our deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”),
and our valuation allowance. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we reversed the majority of the valuation allowance we had recorded
against our net DTAs. The reversal was the result of our determination that it is more likely than not that we will realize the
benefits of our net DTAs as a result of our expectation of future profitability, among other factors. Prior to the reversal,
we had fully reserved for all our net DTAs.
For the three months ended September 30, 2015, we
recognized income tax expense of $1.1 million, versus $1.5 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $0.4 million.
Of the $1.1 million of total tax expense, $1.3 million is current expense and $0.2 million is a net deferred benefit. The
effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was 19.4% of pre-tax income reported in the period,
calculated based on the estimated annual effective rate anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2015. The effective tax
rate for the period was primarily driven by current quarter changes in forecasted pre-tax income, estimated permanent
differences, and state income tax rates, as well as from the impact of current quarter exercises of incentive and
non-qualified stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options. The effective tax rate for the three
months ended September 30, 2014 was 18.6% of pre-tax income reported in the period, calculated based on the estimated annual
effective rate anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were
$58.3 million compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $23.4 million, or 66.9%, primarily
as a result of the following factors:
| · | Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $41.1 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 78.2% compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2014.
The primary reason for the increase was increased EEMT revenues,
due to both increases in prices per bottle and to new customer contracts that started in the third quarter of 2015, as well as
sales of Methazolamide, launched in the fourth quarter of 2014, and Etodolac and Propafenone, both of which were launched in the
first quarter of 2015. We also experienced increased sales for our HC Enema product, due to price increases. |
As described in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies,
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report, we
market EEMT and Opium Tincture without FDA-approved NDAs. The FDA's policy with respect to
the continued marketing of unapproved products appears in the FDA's September 2011 Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 440.100 titled
"Marketed New Drugs without Approved NDAs or ANDAs." Under this policy, the FDA has stated that it will follow a risk-based
approach with regard to enforcement against marketing of unapproved products. The FDA evaluates whether to initiate enforcement
action on a case-by-case basis, but gives higher priority to enforcement action against products in certain categories, such as
those with potential safety risks or that lack evidence of effectiveness. While we believe that, so long as we comply with applicable
manufacturing standards, the FDA will not take action against us under the current enforcement policy, we can offer no assurances
that the FDA will continue this policy or not take a contrary position with any individual product or group of products. Our combined
net revenues for these products for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $33.8 million and $19.4 million,
respectively.
| · | Net revenues for branded pharmaceutical products were $8.7 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 40.9% compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2014. The
primary reasons for the increase were sales from our Lithobid and Vancocin products, respectively, the product rights to which
were acquired during the third quarter of 2014. This increase was partially offset by lower unit sales of Reglan, due to decreased
purchases by a customer, and increased Medicaid utilization and Medicaid rebates for Lithobid and Vancocin, both of which are trends
we expect to continue. |
| · | Contract manufacturing revenues were $3.6 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of 13.2% compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2014, due to timing of
orders from contract manufacturing customers in the period. As described in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, in the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report, we contract
manufacture a group of products on behalf of a customer that are marketed by that customer without an FDA-approved NDA. If the
FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for the group of products
or withdraw them from the market. Our contract manufacturing revenues for the group of unapproved products for the nine months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. |
| · | Contract services and other income were $4.9 million during the nine
months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 210.7% from $1.6 million for the same period in 2014, due primarily to royalties
received on sales of the authorized generic of Vancocin, the product rights to which were acquired in the third quarter of 2014.
In the second quarter of 2015, our authorized generic partner for Vancocin adjusted its estimates for chargebacks, rebates, and
other deductions from gross sales for the last five months of 2014, which resulted in a non-recurring $1.4 million increase in
royalty revenue. In November 2015, we launched an authorized generic for Vancocin under our own
label, which will replace the authorized generic product currently on the market. |
As described in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies,
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q quarterly report, we
receive royalties on the net sales of a group of contract-manufactured products, which are marketed by the customer without an
FDA-approved NDA. If the FDA took enforcement action against such customer, the customer may be required to seek FDA approval for
the group of products or withdraw them from the market. Our royalties on the net sales of these unapproved products were $0.3 million
and $0.2 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, cost of sales
increased to $9.2 million from $7.8 million for the same period in 2014, an increase of $1.4 million or 17.3%, primarily as
a result of increased sales in the period. Cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 15.7% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2015, from 22.3% during same period in 2014, primarily as a result of price increases for EEMT and a
favorable shift in product mix toward higher margin products, including EEMT and our two branded products, Lithobid and Vancocin,
which we acquired in the third quarter of 2014.
We source the raw materials for our products, including API, from both domestic and international suppliers. Generally, only a single source

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we purchased 44% of our inventory from three suppliers. As of September 30, 2015,
amounts payable to these three suppliers totaled $0.7 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased 43% of
our inventory from two suppliers.
Each year, we must submit a request to the DEA for a quota to purchase the amount of API needed to manufacture Opium Tincture. Without an approved

primarily as a result of the following factors:
| · | Depreciation and amortization increased from $2.6 million to $4.8
million, an increase of 84.5%, due to amortization of the product rights for Lithobid and Vancocin, which rights were purchased
during the third quarter of 2014, as well as amortization of the Flecainide ANDA and the basket of ANDAs, acquired from Teva in
the first and third quarters of 2015, respectively. |
| · | Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $13.2
million to $15.7 million, an increase of 19.0%, primarily due to increased expenses associated with business development activities,
increased stock-based compensation expense, and increases in personnel and related costs, partially offset by a non-recurring $1.3
million catch-up adjustment in the second quarter of 2014 for non-cash stock-based
compensation expense recognized upon shareholder approval of an increase in shares available for issuance under our stock compensation
plan. |
| · | Research and development expenses increased from $2.1 million

Of the $5.7 million of total tax expense, $5.4 million is current expense and $0.3 million is net deferred expense.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 31.4% of pre-tax income reported in the
period, calculated based on the estimated annual effective rate anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2015. The

$12.6 million of cash from operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. In the first quarter of 2015, we acquired an
ANDA from Teva for $4.5 million. In the third quarter of 2015, we acquired a basket of ANDAs from Teva for $25.0 million.
In September 2015, we entered into an asset purchase agreement
with Merck Sharp & Dohme B.V. to purchase, subject to typical closing conditions including regulatory approvals, certain NDAs
and associated product rights and manufacturing licenses for $75.0 million in cash and a percentage of future net sales of
the products under the NDAs. The asset acquisition is expected to close in January 2016. We anticipate that we will make the $75.0
million cash payment using cash on hand.
We are focused on expanding our business and product pipeline
through collaborations, and also through acquisitions of products and companies. We are continually evaluating potential asset
acquisitions and business combinations. To finance such acquisitions, we might raise additional equity capital, incur additional
debt, or both.
We believe that our financial resources, consisting of current
working capital and anticipated future operating revenue, will be sufficient to enable us to meet our working capital requirements
for at least the next 12 months.

Net Cash Provided By Operations
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $11.3 million during the same period in 2014, an increase of $1.3 million
between the periods. This increase was due to changes in net income, partially offset by changes in current assets and current
liabilities. Net income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $12.2 million from the same period
in 2014, after adjusting for non-cash expenses.
Changes in current assets and current liabilities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2015 used $12.7 million of cash compared to $1.8 million in the same period in 2014, a difference of
approximately $10.9 million between the periods. Inventory increased $6.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as
compared with an increase of $3.3 million in the prior year period. Changes in current income taxes, net were a $5.2 million use
of cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared with providing $1.1 million in the prior year period. Accounts
receivable increased by $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared with an increase of $2.1 million in
the prior year period. Accounts payable decreased by $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared with
an increase of $0.6 million in the prior year period. Accrued compensation and related expenses decreased by $0.3 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared with a decrease of $40 thousand in the prior year period. These increases to
cash used were partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in accrued Medicaid rebates in the nine months ended September 30, 2015,
as compared with a $1.0 million increase in the prior year period, as well as a $1.4 million increase in accrued expense, returned
goods, and other, as compared with a $0.9 million increase in the prior year period.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 2015 was $31.6 million, principally due to the March 2015 $4.5 million asset acquisition of the
ANDA for Flecainide Acetate tablets, the July 2015 asset acquisition of a basket of ANDAs for $25.0 million, the August 2015
payment of $1.0 million for marketing and distribution rights, and $1.1
million of capital expenditures during the period. Net cash used in investing activities was $35.4 million during the same
period in 2014, relating primarily to the $12.5 million asset acquisition from Teva of ANDAs related to 31 generic products,
$22 million in asset purchases related to Lithobid and Vancocin, and $0.8 million of capital expenditures during the
period.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2015, resulting primarily from $0.7 million of proceeds from stock option exercises and $0.2
million of excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation awards. Net cash provided by financing activities was $48.1 million
during the same period in 2014, resulting primarily from $46.7 million of net proceeds received in our March 10, 2014 follow-on
public offering. We also received $0.8 million of cash from stock option exercises, $0.4 million of excess tax benefit from stock-based
compensation awards, and $0.2 million from warrant exercises during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations is based on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us 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 financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, estimates
are used for, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for chargebacks, returns
and other allowances, allowance for inventory obsolescence, accruals for contingent liabilities and litigation, fair value of long-lived
assets, income tax provision, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, and the depreciable and amortizable lives of long-lived assets.
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included
in Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 — Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain of our accounting policies are considered
critical, as these policies require significant, difficult or complex judgments by management, often requiring the use of estimates
about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Such policies are summarized in Item 7. “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2014.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognition requirements, along with most
existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract,
2) identify performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue.
The new standard will result in enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from
contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective
for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this new accounting pronouncement will have on our financial
statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued
guidance as to whether a cloud computing arrangement (e.g., software as a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a service,
and other similar hosting arrangements) includes a software license and, based on that determination, how to account for such arrangements.
If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element
of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include
a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendment is effective for
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied on either a prospective
or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement to have
a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the balance
sheet disclosure for debt issuance costs. Under the guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be
presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, in the same manner as debt
discounts, rather than as an asset. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early
adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement will result in a reclassification of deferred financing
costs from assets to contra-liabilities.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance for inventory. Under
the guidance, an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this guidance at the lower of cost and net realizable value,
except when inventory is measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. In addition,
the FASB has amended some of the other inventory guidance to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure
of inventory. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this pronouncement
should be applied prospectively, with earlier application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that this
new accounting pronouncement will have on our financial statements.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have
any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
As of September 30, 2015, our only debt obligation was related
to our Notes. In order to reduce the potential equity dilution that would result upon conversion of the Senior Convertible
Notes we issued in December 2014, we entered into note hedge transactions with a financial institution affiliated with one of the
underwriters of the Senior Convertible Note offering. The note hedge transactions are expected generally, but not guaranteed, to
reduce the potential dilution to our common stock and/or offset the cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal
amount upon any conversion of Senior Convertible Notes, in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured
under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedge Transactions, is greater than the conversion price of the Senior Convertible Notes,
which is initially approximately $69.48. In addition, in order to partially offset the cost of the note hedge transactions, we
issued warrants to the hedge counterparty to purchase approximately 2.1 million shares of our common stock at a strike price of
$96.21. The warrants would separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of our common stock
exceeds the strike price of the warrants. In addition, non-performance by the counterparties under the hedge transactions would
potentially expose us to dilution of our common stock to the extent our stock price exceeds the conversion price.
Interest on the Notes accrues at a fixed rate of 3.0% on the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes and is paid semi-annually every December 1st and June 1st until the Notes mature on December
1, 2019. Since the interest rate is fixed, we have no interest-rate market risk related to the Notes. However, if our
stock price increases, the fair value of our Notes, and their likelihood of being converted, will increase accordingly.
We are exposed to risks associated with changes in interest
rates. The returns from certain of our cash and cash equivalents will vary as short-term interest rates change. A 100 basis-point
adverse movement (decrease) in short-term interest rates would decrease the interest income earned on our cash balance in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2015 by approximately $3 thousand and $10 thousand, respectively.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act
is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision
and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act),
as of September 30, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded
that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. In designing and
evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

currency equivalent in United States dollars due to Seller shall be a well-established and widely recognized rate of exchange used
by Buyer for reporting such sales for United States financial statement purposes, consistently applied. If Buyer fails to make
any payment pursuant to this Agreement when due, any such late payment shall bear simple interest, to the extent not prohibited
by Law, at a per annum rate equal to the U.S. Prime Rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, for the first

for Tax purposes.

(g) At
the request of Seller, Buyer shall, and shall cause the other Payment Obligors to, permit an independent certified public accountant

or Buyer restates or revises such books and records for such 12-month period) or (iii) be repeated for any Calendar Quarter or
Calendar Year (unless a previous audit for such Calendar Quarter or Calendar Year revealed an underpayment of at least [***] with
respect to such period or Buyer restates or revises such books and records for such Calendar Quarter or Calendar Year). The cost

(h) In
the event of a dispute over the results of any audit conducted pursuant to Section 2.3.4(g), the disputing Party shall deliver
a dispute notice to the other Party setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the amounts due or owed within ten calendar
days following the completion of such audit (the “Dispute Notice”). The other Party shall deliver a response
to the Dispute Notice no later than ten calendar days following its receipt of the Dispute Notice setting forth in reasonable detail
its calculation of the amounts due or owed (the “Dispute Response”). Seller and Buyer shall work in good faith
to resolve such dispute. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within 30 calendar
days of the date of notice of such dispute, then either Party shall be entitled to submit the dispute for arbitration to the Accountants,
together with copies of the Dispute Notice and the Dispute Response. The Accountants shall not be entitled to reach a decision
that is more or less than the greatest or least amounts set forth by the Parties in the Dispute Notice and Dispute Response, as
applicable. The decision of the Accountants shall be final and the costs of such arbitration as well as the initial audit shall
be borne between the Parties in such manner as the Accountants shall determine. Not later than 30 calendar days after such decision

date originally due as provided in Section 2.3.3 or Seller shall reimburse such excess payments, as applicable.

2.3.5 Transfer
of Products. Any transfer, sale, license, conveyance or other disposition of any Subject Product, Purchased Regulatory Approval
or any material right (including Intellectual Property) related to a Subject Product by any Payment Obligor (other than commercial
sales of inventory of a Subject Product in the ordinary course of business) shall require that the transferee, licensee or assignee
thereof agree to be bound by the obligations with respect to the Contingent Payments set forth in this Section 2.3 and in such
case shall thereafter be deemed to be a Payment Obligor. Buyer shall remain primarily responsible for the payment of the Contingent
Payments to Seller notwithstanding any such transfer, sale, license, conveyance or other disposition; provided, that, in
connection with any such transfer, sale, license, conveyance or other disposition, Buyer may request that Seller waive Buyer’s
obligation to remain primarily responsible for the payment of the Contingent Payments, which waiver shall not be unreasonably withheld,

Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the Parties are unable to agree on the Allocation within 30 calendar
days after the commencement of such good faith negotiations (or such longer period as Seller and Buyer may mutually agree in writing),

of such Allocation. The determination of the Accountants regarding the Allocation shall be delivered as soon as practicable following
engagement of the Accountants, but in no event more than 60 calendar days thereafter, and shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon Seller and Buyer, and Buyer shall revise the Allocation accordingly. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer on the other
hand, shall each pay one-half of the cost of the Accountants. The Parties agree to file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594
and, if required, supplemental Forms 8594, in accordance with the instructions to Form 8594) and any other forms, reports or information
statements required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder, and any similar

Confidential Materials Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange
Commission Pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment under Rule 406 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Confidential Portions are marked: [***]
(a) any
breach by Seller of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Section 3.1;

any Seller Indemnitee arising out of or related to:

7.2 Claim
Procedure.
7.2.1 Indemnification
Claim Procedure. Except as provided in Section 7.2.2 with respect to Third Party claims, in the event of a claim made by a
Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give reasonably
prompt written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), which notice (an “Indemnification
Certificate”) shall: (a) state that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued or reasonably anticipates
that it will have to pay or accrue Losses that are subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.1.1
or Section 7.1.2, as applicable, and (b) specify in reasonable detail the individual items and amounts of such Losses, the
date each such item was paid or properly accrued, or the basis for such anticipated Liability, and a description of the basis of
such Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to give reasonably
prompt notice shall not relieve the applicable Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement except
to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by any delay in receiving such notice. In the event that the
Indemnifying Party agrees to or is determined to have an obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for Losses as provided in
this Article 7, the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, promptly (but, in any event, within 30
calendar days) pay such amount to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified
in writing by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party may defer making such payment if it objects in a written statement
to the claim made in the Indemnification Certificate and delivers such statement to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration
of such 30- calendar day period. An Indemnifying Party’s failure to object within such 30- calendar day period to any claim
set forth in an Indemnification Certificate shall be deemed to be the Indemnifying Party’s acceptance of, and waiver of any
objections to, such claim. If an Indemnifying Party shall so object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Indemnification
Certificate, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for a period of 20 calendar days following
the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such objection notice to agree upon the respective rights of the parties with respect
to each of such claims. If no such agreement can be reached after such 20- calendar day period of good faith negotiation, either
the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may initiate Litigation for purposes of having the matter settled in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

7.2.2 Third
Party Claim Procedure. In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim made by a Third Party (including any action
or proceeding commenced or threatened to be commenced by any Third Party) that such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result
in an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 7.1, such Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within three Business
Days after becoming aware of such claim) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim (such notice, the “Claim
Notice”). The Claim Notice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation submitted by the Third Party making
such claim and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis
for such claim and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of
the Indemnified Party in delivering a Claim Notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability hereunder except to
the extent of any damage or Liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within 30 calendar days after receipt
of any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense
of the claim referred to therein at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense (which shall be subject to Section 7.3)
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume control of the defense
of such claim, the Indemnified Party shall control the defense of such claim. The Party not controlling the defense of such claim
(the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided, however, that
if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of such claim and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have
materially conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such claim that cause the Indemnified Party to
hire its own separate counsel with respect to such proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of a single counsel to the Indemnified
Party shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The Party controlling the defense of such claim
(the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such claim
and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto.
The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such claim (including
copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice,
billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party
in the defense of such claim. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall agree to any settlement of, or the
entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified Party shall
not be required with respect to any such settlement or judgment if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay or cause to
be paid any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment (net of the applicable deductible amount specified in Section
7.3.1) and such settlement or judgment includes no admission of liability by or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified
Party and includes a complete release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability.

7.3 Limitations
on Indemnification.
7.3.1 The
provisions for indemnity under Section 7.1.1(a) or Section 7.1.2(a) shall be effective only (a) for any individual claim or
series of related claims arising from the same facts and circumstances where the Loss exceeds [***] and (b) when the aggregate
amount of all Losses for claims or series of related claims arising from the same facts and circumstances in excess of [***] for
which indemnification is sought from the Indemnifying Party exceeds [***], in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled
to indemnification of the Indemnified Party’s Losses in excess thereof. In no event shall any Indemnifying Party have liability
for indemnification under Section 7.1.1(a) or Section 7.1.2(a), as applicable, for any amount exceeding, in the aggregate, [***].
7.3.2 The
Indemnified Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses incurred by such Party upon and after becoming
aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any indemnification rights hereunder. The amount
of Losses recovered by an Indemnified Party under Section 7.1.1 or Section 7.1.2, as applicable, shall be reduced by (a) any
amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from a Third Party in connection with such claim and (b) the amount of
any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnified Party relating to such claim, in each case ((a) and (b)), out of the Indemnified
Party’s costs of recovery. Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to collect insurance proceeds for any Loss that is
subject to indemnification by Seller under Section 7.1.1. If any amounts referenced in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) are received
after payment by the Indemnifying Party of the full amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this
Article 7, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such receipt, any amount that the Indemnifying
Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article 7 had such amounts been received prior to such payment.
7.3.3 If
the Indemnified Party receives any payment from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 7.1.1 or Section
7.1.2 and the Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a Third Party based on the underlying claim
asserted against the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall assign such of its rights to proceed against such Third Party
as are necessary to permit the Indemnifying Party to recover from the Third Party the amount of such payment.

7.3.4 The
representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force
and effect thereafter through and including the date that is [***] after the Closing Date. None of the covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing other than those that by their terms expressly contemplate performance after
the Closing Date and such surviving covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing until fully performed.
7.3.5 TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND EXCEPT AS A RESULT OF COMMON LAW FRAUD, NEITHER BUYER NOR SELLER SHALL BE LIABLE
TO THE OTHER, OR THEIR AFFILIATES, FOR ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS OR SUITS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE,
INDIRECT OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR INCOME, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
(WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE AT THE EFFECTIVE DATE), CONNECTED WITH OR RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY ACTIONS
UNDERTAKEN IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR RELATED HERETO, INCLUDING ANY SUCH DAMAGES WHICH ARE BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND MISREPRESENTATION), BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OPERATION OF LAW OR ANY OTHER THEORY
OF RECOVERY.
7.3.6 For
the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 in respect of any Loss to the extent
such Indemnitee has been previously indemnified or reimbursed in respect of such Loss pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement
or any provision of any Ancillary Agreement.
7.4 Tax
Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Article 7 shall be treated as adjustments to the
Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
7.5 Exclusive
Remedy. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement and subject to Section 9.9, each Party acknowledges and agrees
that, following the Closing, the remedies provided for in this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for claims and
damages available to the Parties and their respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, except that nothing herein shall limit the Liability of either Party for common law fraud. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained
herein shall, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, give rise to any right on the part of
Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
7.6 Setoff
Rights. Except as provided in Sections 2.3.2(b) and (c) above, neither Party shall have any right of setoff of any amounts
due and payable, or any Liabilities arising, under this Agreement against any other amounts due and payable under this Agreement
or any amounts due and payable, or any Liabilities arising, under any Ancillary Agreement. The payment obligations under each of
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements remain independent obligations of each Party, irrespective of any amounts owed to any
other Party under this Agreement or the respective Ancillary Agreements.

Except as expressly set forth in any representation or warranty in Section 3.1, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it and other
Buyer Indemnitees shall have no claim or right to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 (or otherwise) with respect to any
information, documents, or materials furnished to or for Buyer or its Representatives by Seller or any of its Affiliates or any
