Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Management and Board of Directors of
Tower Holdings, Inc. and Lineage Therapeutics, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Tower Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Lineage Therapeutics, Inc., which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related combined statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companies’ internal controls. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Tower Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries and Lineage Therapeutics, Inc. at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of their combined operations and their combined cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

CorePharma Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries was formed in 2005 to acquire the members’ interests in CorePharma LLC (“CorePharma”). Effective November 1, 2012, CorePharma Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Tower Holdings, Inc. (“Tower”) and restructured its operations. CorePharma transferred assets and its Amedra LLC (“Amedra”) interests so that Amedra became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tower. In addition, Trail Services, Inc. (“Trail”) was created, with certain CorePharma LLC employees and sales functions being transferred to establish another wholly owned subsidiary of Tower. CorePharma Inc., an existing subsidiary, that owns the CorePharma LLC interests converted to a U.S. limited liability company and changed its name to Mountain LLC.

 

On June 7, 2013, Tower caused Amedra to transfer certain assets and liabilities of a business (the “Transferred Business”) into a newly created entity, Lineage Therapeutics, Inc. (“Lineage”). The Transferred Business is involved with developing, testing, marketing, distributing and selling:

 

a)

A generic version of Adrenaclick ® (a single-dose auto-injector product containing the active drug substance epinephrine as its primary active ingredient).

 

b)

In addition, Lineage entered into a license agreement with Amedra permitting it to sell the generic versions of hydrocortisone tablets and dextroamphetamine extended release capsules.

 

In exchange for the Transferred Business, Lineage issued 100 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and 10,363 shares of its common stock to Amedra. Amedra then distributed the Lineage common stock to the Tower common stockholders with each recipient then owning the same proportionate interest in both Tower and Lineage. Tower and Lineage (collectively, the “Company”) are Delaware corporations that are 73.6% owned by RoundTable Healthcare Partners II, LP, 3.6% by RoundTable Healthcare Investors II, LP (collectively referred to as “RoundTable”) and 22.8% owned by former owner/founders of CorePharma LLC and members of management. Because the transaction is between entities under common control (RoundTable), it has been accounted for at historical cost and presented as if the transaction occurred prior to the earliest year presented.

 

In connection with the transfer of business and spin-off of Lineage:

 

a)

Lineage entered into a $3,397 promissory note with Amedra that bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%. The entire principal plus unpaid interest is due no later than June 7, 2018 and may be prepaid in whole or in part any time without premium or penalty.

 

b)

Lineage entered into a $15,000 term note with CorePharma (“Core-Lineage Term Loan”), of which $9,690 and $14,813 is outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Core-Lineage Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.50%. The entire principal plus unpaid interest is due no later than June 7, 2018 and may be prepaid in whole or in part any time without premium or penalty.

CorePharma is engaged in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of a broad line of oral generic pharmaceutical products which span therapeutic specialties, including ADHD treatments, pain relievers, and muscle relaxants. CorePharma labeled products are marketed, sold and distributed directly to customers, including retail pharmacies, mail-order pharmacies and wholesalers. Amedra sells and markets branded products while Trail acts as a service provider for the sales and marketing of CorePharma, Amedra and Lineage products. Lineage sells and markets generic versions of Amedra’s branded products.

 

CorePharma labeled product sales accounted for 53%, 74% and 91% of the Company’s net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, while Amedra sales accounted for 29%, 17%, and 9% of Company’s net sales for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and Lineage sales accounted for 18% and 9% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The combined financial statements include the accounts of Tower Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Mountain LLC, CorePharma LLC, Trail Services, Inc. and Amedra LLC) and Lineage Therapeutics, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

 

On October 9, 2014, the Company executed a definitive agreement under which its shareholders agreed to sell their shares to Impax Laboratories, Inc. for $700 million in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction closed on March 9, 2015.

 

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made include those to record reserves for chargebacks, commercial and government rebates (Medicaid and Medicare), returns and shelf-stock adjustments, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, the allocation of purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities, establishing estimated useful lives of intangible assets, assessing goodwill for impairment, and the fair value of contingent consideration and warrants.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, including money market instruments and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. The Company invests excess cash balances nightly in an investment account for additional returns. The Company maintains cash account balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Restricted Cash

In connection with the recapitalization in December 2012, the Company set aside $2,220 of restricted cash related to a contractually required deferred bonus due to certain members of management, which was paid in December 2013. These bonus payouts were contingent upon employment through December 2013 and therefore the Company expensed them ratably through 2013. Such amounts are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product as pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has transferred, prices are fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Accruals for estimated chargebacks, returns, commercial and government rebates, discounts, and shelf-stock adjustments are determined based on historical experience and reduce revenues at the time of sale. The Company’s sales returns reserves are accounted for in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for revenue recognition when the right of return exists. The Company generally sells its products with a right of return for a period that ends twelve months after the expiration date.

The Company earns royalty revenues for sales of its products made by the marketing partners based on contractually agreed-upon rates. Royalty revenue was $647, $727 and $877 for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 
 

For arrangements that include upfront payments, the Company recognizes revenue over the life of the arrangements. Milestone payments related to these arrangements are recognized upon completion of contractual obligations. Amounts not yet recognized as revenue are included in deferred revenue.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales. The corresponding costs for shipping and handling are included in selling, general, and administrative expense and are not significant.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the best estimate of credit losses included in accounts receivables. The allowance is determined after considering historical write-offs and performing a specific review of all past due accounts. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is estimated they will not be collected.

 

Sales Allowances

A reserve for chargebacks, commercial and government rebates, discounts, returns and shelf-stock adjustments are recognized in the same period as the related sale. Reserves are included in accounts receivables, except for government rebates which are included in accrued liabilities. These reserves consider the level of inventory, as determined using data provided by key wholesalers, of products in the distribution channel that remain subject to these sales allowances at a specific contractual rates. Rebates are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served. The Company evaluates market conditions for products or groups of products primarily through the analysis of wholesaler and other third-party sell-through and market research data. The sales returns reserve is for products that may be returned due to expiration, damaged goods, or in some cases, product recall. The sales returns reserve is based on historical return trends by product and by market as a percent to gross sales. Sales returns reserves are recorded at full sales value as the returns are almost exclusively not resalable. Due to estimates and assumptions inherent in determining the amount of these sales allowances, the actual amount may be different from estimates. These reserves are adjusted for differences between estimated and actual claims as well as for specific known developments that may result in a change in obligation.

 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Leasehold improvements	The shorter of the life of the asset or the term of the lease
Furniture and fixtures	7 years
Machinery and equipment	3-10 years

 

Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed; major improvements are capitalized if they extend the useful of the asset.

 

Intangibles Subject to Amortization

Intangible assets subject to amortization consist of acquired product rights. These assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives and assume no residual value. The Company has no indefinite lived intangible assets.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is required to be reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at year end. This assessment is made on a reporting unit basis. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment for which discrete financial information is prepared and is regularly reviewed by management. This test is required to be completed utilizing the fair value approach to test goodwill for impairment. Based upon the Company’s assessment, no impairment at any of the Company’s reporting units existed at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The gross cost of goodwill was $120,747 at December 31, 2014 and at December 31, 2013, and there have been no accumulated impairment losses.

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred, based on expected undiscounted future cash flows, a current charge to income would be recognized to adjust the asset to its fair value.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs consist of amounts paid to lenders and third parties in connection with obtaining debt financing. These costs are being amortized and included in interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt agreement. Lender costs are reflected as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt (debt discount) and third party costs are recorded within other long term assets. Amortization of debt discount and amortization of debt issuance costs was $1,003, $1,666, and $897 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net book value of deferred finance costs was $130 and $208 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is include in other assets.

Redeemable Warrants

In conjunction with previously issued subordinated debt, the Company has issued warrants for the purchase of 204 shares of common stock in Tower and Lineage for $0.001 per share. These warrants are redeemable and have been exercisable in part or in full since issuance and have no expiration date. Redeemable warrants are accounted for as liabilities because they can be net settled. They are remeasured at fair value determined using the intrinsic method at each year end. The change in the fair value of the redeemable warrants is included in other (income) expense within the combined statements of income.

 

Contingent Consideration

In conjunction with business acquisitions (one of GlaxoSmithKline businesses in 2010 and one of Shionogi & Co. businesses in 2012), the Company was obligated to pay contingent consideration based on the achievement of future sales milestones. The contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition dates. The change in their fair value during each reporting period is included in the combined statements of income and is classified in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amount of the Company’s long term debt approximated the estimated fair value based upon market prices for similar types of financial instruments and based on the duration to maturity.

 

Advance Payment for Research and Development

The Company accounts for nonrefundable advance payments made to vendors for their use in research and development projects for the Company as prepaid assets as of the effective date of the arrangement and amortizes them over the life of the agreements. Such amounts are not material at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had three customers that represented 60%, 22% and 12% of accounts receivables and 36%, 18% and 17% of net sales for the year then ended. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had three customers that represented 45%, 27% and 7% of accounts receivables and 27%, 25% and 12% of net sales the year then ended. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had three customers that represented 27%, 23% and 21% of net sales.

 

Stock Options

The Company recognizes expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards and recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award because all awards issued contain service only conditions.

 

Total stock based compensation recognized by the Company was $100, $680 and $670, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Severance

In 2012 and 2013 in order to reduce future selling, general, and administrative and direct overhead expenses, CorePharma undertook a restructuring plan that included a reduction of headcount. In conjunction with the restructuring, CorePharma recorded severance expense of $128, $1,223 and $955 within selling, general and administrative expense in the statements of income for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Accrued severance of $0 and $303 is included in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20) (‘‘ASU 2015-01’’). ASU 2015-01 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items and their segregation from the results of ordinary operations and expands presentation and disclosure guidance to include items that are both unusual in nature and occur infrequently. The amendments in ASU 2015-01 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and a reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively as well as retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The impact to the Company will depend on future activity.

 

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance establishes a five-step model to achieve that core principle and also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its operating results and financial position.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 updating guidance on the presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium. The update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the updated guidance. The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its operating results and financial position.

3.	Business Acquisition

 

On March 30, 2012, CorePharma acquired the product rights to Adrenaclick from Shionogi & Co. Ltd. for $20,221 and also entered into contract manufacturing agreements with third parties to produce this product. CorePharma completed this business combination to enter into the specialty injectable product pharmaceutical business. CorePharma paid $18,421 at closing and could be required to make payments of $2,200, subject to achieving certain milestones based on the net sales of the acquired product. CorePharma believed that the remaining milestones would be achieved and determined the fair value of this contingent consideration to be $1,800 at the acquisition date. The acquisition was funded with cash generated from the Company operations. The Company incurred and expensed $226 of the transaction costs associated with the acquisition in 2012.

 

CorePharma determined this acquisition was a business combination and the acquired operations have been consolidated from the purchase date. The combined financial statements have been prepared giving effect to the purchase transaction in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations.

 

The total purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition with the assistance of a third party appraiser, as follows:

 

Intangible assets		$	17,300
Inventory			421
Other assets			1,988
Goodwill			512
Total purchase price			20,221
Less: Contingent consideration			(1,800	)
Purchase price paid at closing		$	18,421

 

There were no indefinite lived intangibles recorded in connection with the acquisition and the Company has determined the useful life of the intangible assets acquired to be 66 months, with no residual value.

 

4.	Product Acquisitions

 

From time to time the Company has acquired product rights. The Company evaluates if such transactions qualify as a business or are an asset acquisition. In connection with transactions accounted for as asset purchases, the Company records obligations tied to the achievement or occurrence of future events (additional regulatory product approval, manufacturing or product launch) at the time such obligation becomes probable.

 

On August 19, 2013 Amedra acquired the product rights to the Mebendazole tablet product from Teva Pharmaceuticals USA. The Company has accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition because it did not acquire inputs (people, processes, or customers) and there were no current production capabilities. Amedra paid $1,500 at closing and is obligated to pay an additional $3,500 based on the achievement of certain milestones, including regulatory product approval and commercial launch. Amedra is also obligated to pay a royalty based upon future sales after commercialization of the product. The payment tied to the achievement of these milestones will be accrued when it is probable that they will be achieved. The Company estimates the product rights useful life to be five years.

11.	Fair Value Measures

 

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability. This statement requires that financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1:

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on:

 

a.

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except share information)

---

 

b.

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

c.

Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3:

Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs may reflect estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the financial assets and liabilities.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy: 

 

		Fair Value at
		December 31, 2014
		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Assets
Cash equivalents		$	36,701			$	36,701			$	-			$	-
Liabilities
Redeemable warrants			10,601				-				-				10,601

  

		Fair Value at
		December 31, 2013
		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Assets
Cash equivalents		$	39,449			$	39,449			$	-			$	-
Liabilities
Contingent consideration			1,234				-				-				1,234
Redeemable warrants			3,740				-				-				3,740

 

Cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using quoted market prices in active markets.

 

Redeemable warrants are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using estimates of the value of the Company based on both market multiple and discounted cash flow models prepared by management, thus require inputs that are unobservable to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs related to the redeemable warrants include a 5 times EBITDA market multiple based on comparable transactions. The discounted cash flow model utilized a discount rate of 17% and a terminal growth factor of 3%. The warrant valuation as of December 31, 2014 also takes into account the selling price related to the Company’s sale transaction with Impax Laboratories, Inc. as described in Note 1.

Contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because it was valued based on a discount cash flow model prepared by management, thus require inputs that are unobservable to the overall fair value measurement. The contingent consideration valuation included an unobservable discount rate input of 20%.

 

Given the amounts of the contingent consideration and redeemable warrant liabilities and the inputs, a significant change in their value would result only if there was a significant change in the inputs.

 

The following table presents the fair value reconciliation of Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value (there were no assets) on a recurring basis during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012: 

 

		Redeemable				Contingent
		Warrants				Consideration
Balance as of December 31, 2011		$	3,752			$	9,762
Acquisition			-				1,800
Payment			(2,572	)			(10,000	)

In connection with the spin-off of Lineage described in Note 1, Tower issued options for the purchase of Lineage common stock to all existing option holders under the Plan. Based on the lack of dilution provisions in the existing Tower plan agreement, the Lineage common stock option grants were accounted for as a modification of the existing plan. As a result, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $243 in 2013. Each Lineage option has the same terms and conditions as the existing options to purchase shares of Tower common stock. Each Lineage option has an exercise price of $0.01, a term of ten years and generally vests on a pro rata basis over five years, with a provision for acceleration of vesting if Lineage is sold.

 

Lineage stock option activity for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:
