Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

VPI Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “VPI”), is a pharmaceutical company which develops, manufactures, distributes, markets, and sells prescription and over the counter generic drugs, in a variety of dosages and forms. The Company markets its products in the United States through distributors, retail, mass-merchandise chains, mail order companies and clinics.

On November 19, 2007, VPI Holdings Corp. was capitalized and purchased all the outstanding shares of stock of VersaPharm Inc. (“VersaPharm”) and Covenant Pharma, Inc. (“CPI”).

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company believes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates and judgments made by management in preparing these financial statements include revenue recognition and related reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes.

Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates if these results differ from historical experience or other assumptions prove not to be substantially accurate, even if such assumptions are reasonable when made.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers those investments that are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

VPI Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent balances with high-quality financial institutions and, consequently, such funds are subject to minimal credit risk.

The Company extends credit on an uncollateralized basis primarily to wholesale drug distributors and retail pharmacy chains throughout the U.S. The Company is required to estimate the level of accounts receivable which ultimately will not be paid. The Company calculates this estimate based on prior experience supplemented by a periodic customer specific review when needed. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant credit losses on its accounts and, therefore, has not established an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Three of the Company’s customers accounted for approximately 84% and 83% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	% of Accounts Receivable
	June 30,			December 31,
Customer	2014			2013
Customer 1		49	%		36	%
Customer 2		23	%		28	%
Customer 3		12	%		19	%
Total		84	%		83	%

Revenue from these customers was approximately 76% and 71% of gross revenue for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	% of Revenues
	June 30,
Customer	2014			2013
Customer 1		41	%		37	%
Customer 2		22	%		25	%
Customer 3		13	%		9	%
Total		76	%		71	%

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from sales to large wholesale distributors on a limited number of products. Changes in economic conditions and unforeseen events could occur and reduce the demand for these products. The Company’s business success depends in part on its relationships with this limited number of large customers.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Inventories

Inventories consist of purchased pharmaceutical products and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method, and market is considered to be net realizable value. Inventories consist of finished product, and bulk product awaiting processing and packaging into finished product.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and conversely, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property and equipment might not be recoverable, the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the assets are estimated and compared with the carrying amount of the assets. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets with their carrying amounts. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. The Company did not record any impairment losses related to our property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets are primarily comprised of the intangible assets that were acquired in the acquisition of VersaPharm and CPI in 2007 and various product rights purchased subsequent to 2007. Specifically, the Company’s recognized intangible assets are for (i) customer relationships and (ii) product rights.

The intangible asset related to customer relationships is amortized for seven years over a method that reflects an appropriate allocation of the costs of these intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained in each reporting period. The intangible asset related to product rights is amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives of seven years from the date each of the rights were acquired.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The impairment loss to be recorded would be the excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique. No impairment charges have been recorded to intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, other than goodwill. The Company considers the following to be important factors that could trigger an impairment review: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; identification of other impaired assets within a reporting unit; significant adverse changes in business climate or regulations; significant changes in senior management; significant changes in the manner to use the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; significant negative industry or economic trends.

VPI Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Goodwill is assessed for impairment using a fair value approach at the reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, if necessary. The provisions for the accounting standard of goodwill provide an entity with the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to the determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This qualitative assessment is referred to as a “step zero” approach. If, based on the qualitative factors, an entity determines it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the entity may skip the two-step impairment test required by accounting guidance. If an entity determines otherwise or, at the option of the entity, a step zero is not performed, step one of the two-step impairment test is required. Under step one, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the entity must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using the income approach. Impairment shall be recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

In performing step one of the goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value. This analysis contains uncertainties because it requires the Company to make market participant assumptions, and to apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the profitability and growth of future business strategies, to determine estimated future cash flows and an appropriate discount rate. The Company measures the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach. The income approach uses cash flow projections. Inherent in the development of cash flow projections are assumptions and estimates derived from a review of operating results, approved business plans, expected growth rates, capital expenditures and cost of capital, similar to those a market participant would use to assess fair value. The Company also makes certain assumptions about future economic conditions and other data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates may change in future periods. Changes in assumptions or estimates can materially affect the fair value measurement of a reporting unit, and therefore, can affect the amount of the impairment. The following are key assumptions used in making cash flow projections:

Business projections. The Company makes assumptions about the demand for products in the marketplace and pending regulatory approvals. These assumptions drive the planning assumptions for volume, mix, and pricing. The Company also makes assumptions about cost levels. These projections are derived using internal business plans that are updated at least annually and reviewed by the Board of Directors.

VPI Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

§	Long-term growth rate. A growth rate is used to calculate the terminal value of the business and is added to the present value of the debt-free cash flows. The growth rate is the expected rate at which a business unit’s earnings stream is projected to grow beyond the planning period.

Discount rate. When measuring possible impairment, future cash flows are discounted at a rate that is consistent with a weighted-average cost of capital that the Company anticipates a potential market participant would use. Weighted-average cost of capital is an estimate of the overall risk-adjusted after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise.

§	Economic projections. Assumptions regarding general economic conditions are included in and affect the assumptions regarding industry sales and pricing estimates. These macro-economic assumptions include, but are not limited to, industry sales volumes and interest rates.

There were no impairments of goodwill noted during the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company expects to complete its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the laws are enacted.

ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements using a two-step process for evaluating tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return. The Company may only recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Uncertain tax positions require determinations and estimated liabilities to be made based on provisions of the tax law, which may be subject to change or varying interpretation. If the Company’s determinations and estimates prove to be inaccurate, the resulting adjustments could be material to the Company’s future financial results.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when it can determine that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and it deems collection to be probable. In making these judgments, the Company evaluates these criteria as follows:

§	Evidence of an arrangement. The Company considers a purchase order to be representative of persuasive evidence of an arrangement.

VPI Holdings Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

§	Delivery has occurred. The Company considers delivery to have occurred when product shipment has occurred and delivery has been accepted by the customer.

§	Fees are fixed or determinable. The Company considers the fee to be fixed or determinable once product returns, chargebacks, and other allowances can be reasonably estimated.

§	Collection is deemed probable. Collection is deemed probable based upon the Company’s evaluation of the customer’s ability to pay.

Revenue Deductions and Product Returns

The Company gives certain discounts on pricing based on contractual price reductions with wholesalers, managed care providers, and certain other consumers. Provision for these estimated costs are recorded at the time of sale and are periodically adjusted to reflect actual experiences. In addition, the return policy allows customers to return products within a specified period before and after product expiration dates. In establishing the reserves, the Company considers the past experience of deductions and returns, inventory information from the wholesalers, contractual arrangements, and qualitative knowledge of the industry and trends.

Royalty Expense

The Company pays royalties on the sale of certain products and receives royalty income on two of its products. Royalty income is included in net sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Royalty expenses are estimated and accrued at the time of sale.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is comprised of purchased product costs, freight, stability and similar testing costs.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company charges the costs of advertising and marketing to expense as incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $1,452,292 and $1,124,784 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

As of and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a share-based compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 6 below.

The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of public companies in the Company’s peer group over the expected term of the options. The expected term of options granted to employees is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected terms as the average of the sum of the vesting term plus the contract term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield rates in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term. The Company generally expenses the fair value of the option awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
