EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Cerecor Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 2, 2018 (the “Original Filing”) for the sole purpose of amending and restating the disclosures in Part II, Item 9A of the Original Filing to add additional disclosure with respect to management’s assessment of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

 

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, Amendment No. 1 includes new certifications from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer dated as of the date of filing of this Amendment No. 1.

 

This Amendment No. 1 consists solely of the preceding cover page, this explanatory note, Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” in its entirety, Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” in its entirety, the signature page, and the new certifications from the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.

 

Except as set forth above, the Original Filing has not been amended, updated or otherwise modified, and does not reflect events occurring after April 2, 2018, the date of the Original Filing, or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation 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 the end of the period covered by this report.

 

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2017 our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of December 31, 2017.

 

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness described below, management does not believe that these deficiencies had an adverse effect on the company’s reported operating results or financial condition and management has determined that the financial statements and other information included in this report and other periodic filings present fairly in all material respects the company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

 

Our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 did not include an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of TRx Pharmaceuticals, which was acquired on November 17, 2017. The operating results of TRx are included in our consolidated financial statements from the period subsequent to the acquisition date and, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, include $3.5 million of assets as of December 31, 2017, and $2.2 million in net sales for the year then ended. We will include TRx in our 2018 annual assessment of internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013 Framework). Based on this evaluation under the 2013 Framework, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the company had the following material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. Management determined that the company’s internal controls were not adequately designed to prevent or timely detect unauthorized cash disbursements.  Specifically, certain member’s of the finance organization failed to exercise appropriate skepticism and oversight for disbursement of company-owned funds. Management has taken immediate action to begin remediating the material weakness. Management expects to complete the remediation during the first quarter of 2018.

 

Because of the material weakness, the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. The material weakness did not result in a material misstatement of the company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company has increased its cash disbursement controls to prevent and timely detect unauthorized cash disbursements beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017. The company believes these changes will improve its financial reporting with respect to our operations, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, on our internal control over financial reporting.
