Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Juniper Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Juniper” or the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2016 (the “2015 Annual Report”). In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of June 30, 2016, and its results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and 2015. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015, was derived from audited annual financial statements, but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2016 or any period thereafter.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used for, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, impairment analysis of goodwill and intangibles including their useful lives, research and development accruals, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowances, and fair value of stock options. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Components of inventory cost include materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

(4) Debt and other Contractual Obligations

In September 2013, Juniper assumed debt of $3.9 million in connection with its acquisition of Juniper Pharma Services (“JPS”). JPS had entered into a Business Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) covering three loan facilities with Lloyds TSB Bank (“Lloyds”) as administrative agent. JPS had drawn down $3.9 million and as of June 30, 2016 owed $2.7 million. The three loan facilities are each repayable by monthly installments. Repayment began on one facility in February 2013 and the remaining two commenced in October 2013. All facilities are due for repayment over 15 years from the date of drawdown. Two of the facilities bear interest at the Bank of England’s base rate plus 1.95% and 2.55%, respectively. The interest rate at June 30, 2016 for these two facilities was 2.45% and 3.05%, respectively. The third facility is a fixed rate agreement bearing interest at 3.52% per annum. The weighted average interest rate for the three loan facilities for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 3.00%. The Loan Agreement is secured by the mortgaged property and an unlimited lien on other assets of JPS. The Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that limit the amount of indebtedness JPS may incur, requires JPS to maintain certain levels of net worth, and restricts JPS’s ability to materially alter the character of its business. As of June 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all of the covenants under the Loan Agreement.

Table of Contents

In September 2013, as part of the acquisition of JPS, Juniper assumed a $2.5 million obligation under a grant arrangement with the Regional Growth Fund on behalf of the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, and Skills in the United Kingdom. JPS used this grant to fund the building of its second facility, which includes analytical labs, office space, and a manufacturing facility. As part of the arrangement, JPS is required to create and maintain certain full-time equivalent personnel levels through October 2017. As of June 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with the covenants of the arrangement.

The Regional Growth Fund obligation is recognized in the other income line item in the consolidated statement of operations on a decelerated basis over the obligation period through October 2017. As of June 30, 2016, the obligation’s carrying amount is $1.0 million and it is recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Other income associated with the Regional Growth Fund obligation for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Other income associated with the Regional Growth Fund obligation for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The amount of other income on the obligation that will be recognized provided the Company remains in compliance with the covenants will be the following (in thousands):

(5) Intravaginal Ring Technology License

In March 2015, the Company obtained an exclusive worldwide license (“License Agreement”) to the intellectual property rights for a novel segmented intravaginal ring (“IVR”) technology. Due to its novel polymer and segmentation composition, the Company believes the IVR has the potential to deliver one or more drugs, including hormones and larger molecules such as peptides, at different dosages and release rates within a single segmented ring. Drugs such as progesterone and leuprolide1 have already been tested using the technology and demonstrated sustained release for up to three weeks. This technology was developed by Dr. Robert Langer from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“MIT”) and Dr. William Crowley from Massachusetts General Hospital (“MGH”) and Harvard Medical School. Drs. Langer and Crowley have each agreed to serve a three-year term as strategic advisors to the Company in exchange for an upfront one-time payment plus quarterly fees and equity compensation.

Unless earlier terminated by the parties, the License Agreement will remain in effect until the later of (i) the date on which all issued patents and filed patent applications within the licensed patent rights have expired or been abandoned and (ii) one year after the last sale for which a royalty is due under the License Agreement or 10 years after such expiration or abandonment date referred to in (i), whichever is earlier. Juniper has the right to terminate the License Agreement by giving 90 day advance written notice to MGH. MGH has the right to terminate the License Agreement based on our failure to make payments due under the License Agreement, subject to a 15 day cure period, or our failure to maintain the insurance required by the License Agreement. MGH may also terminate the License Agreement based on Juniper’s non-financial default under the License Agreement, subject to a 60 day cure period.

Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Juniper has agreed to reimburse MGH for all costs associated with the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the licensed patent rights, and has agreed to pay MGH a $50,000 annual license fee on each of the first five year anniversaries of the effective date of the License Agreement, and a $100,000 annual license fee beginning on the sixth anniversary of the effective date of the License Agreement and on each subsequent anniversary thereafter. The annual license fee is creditable against any royalties or sublicense income payable in each calendar year.

Under the terms of the License Agreement, Juniper has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize at least one product and/or process related to the IVR technology, which efforts will include the making of certain minimum annual expenditures in each of the first five years following the effective date of the License Agreement. Juniper has also agreed to pay MGH certain milestone payments totaling up to $1,200,000 tied to the Company’s achievement of certain development and commercialization milestones, and certain annual royalty payments based on net sales of any such patented products or processes developed by Juniper.

(6) Segments and Geographic Information

The Company and its subsidiaries currently operate in two segments: product and service. The product segment includes supply chain management for Crinone, the Company’s sole commercialized product. The product segment also includes the royalty stream the Company receives from Allergan for Crinone sales in the United States, and the development of new product candidates. The service segment includes pharmaceutical development, clinical trial manufacturing, and advanced analytical and consulting services for the Company’s customers as well as characterizing and developing pharmaceutical product candidates for the Company’s internal programs and managing the preclinical and clinical manufacturing of COL-1077 and the Company’s IVR technology. In September 2013, the Company acquired JPS, a U.K.-based provider of pharmaceutical development, clinical trial manufacturing, and advanced analytical and consulting services to the pharmaceutical industry. The Company has integrated its supply chain management for its sole commercialized product, Crinone, into those operations and has sought to capture synergies by transferring all operational activities related to its historic business to JPS.

The Company’s largest customer, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (“Merck KGaA”) obtains Crinone from the Company through its Switzerland-based subsidiary; it then sells Crinone throughout the world, excluding the United States. The Company’s primary domestic customer, Allergan, Plc (“Allergan”), is responsible for the commercialization and sale of Crinone in the United States. JPS provides services to customers in many jurisdictions; including the European Union, the United States, Australia and Canada.

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, less preferred dividends, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during a period. The diluted loss per common share calculation gives effect to dilutive options, convertible preferred stock, and other potential dilutive common stock including restricted shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options, assuming the exercise of all in-the-money stock options. Common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants, convertible preferred stock, and selected restricted shares of common stock excluded from the income per share calculation amounted to 1.5 million and 1.5 million in each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, because the awards were anti-dilutive.

Cash received for option exercises was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. There were no option exercises in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Juniper granted 397,500 and 232,000 stock options to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Juniper granted 1,270 and 461 restricted shares to non-employee directors during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Juniper granted 240,000 stock options to non-employees during the six months ended June 30, 2015. No stock options were granted to non-employees during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees based on the fair value of the stock options, which is re-measured over the graded vesting term resulting in periodic adjustments to stock-based compensation expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for non-employee options, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company recorded a reduction of stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million for non-employees options, as a result of impacts of changes in the fair value of the options during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million for non-employee options. The stock-based compensation expense recorded for non-employees is reflected in the research and development line of the statement of operations. The remaining options will be re-measured over a 9 month period.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated grant date fair values for stock-based awards.

The weighted-average grant date fair values of options granted to employees during the six months ended June, 2016 and 2015 were $4.81 and $3.62, respectively, using the following assumptions:

 

     Six Months Ended

The weighted-average grant date fair values of the options granted to non-employees during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $0 and $4.44, respectively, using the following assumptions:

 

     Six Months Ended

     2016      2015  

Risk free interest rate

     —          1.47

Expected term

     —          7 years   

Dividend yield

     —          —    

Expected volatility

     —          82.88

Option-pricing models require the input of various subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock. Juniper’s estimated expected stock price volatility is based on its own historical volatility. Juniper’s expected term of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was derived using the simplified method for employees and the contractual term of the option for non-employees. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of June 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards expected to vest was $3.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.84 years.

(11) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The fair value of the common stock warrant liability was zero, and the warrant expired in April 2015.

The fair values of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying amounts. The Company’s long-term debt is carried at amortized face value, which approximates fair value based on current market pricing of similar debt instruments and is categorized as a Level 2 measurement.

(12) Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Juniper recorded income tax expense of $48,000 and $3,000, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of (2.8)% and (0.9)%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Juniper recorded income tax expense of $52,000 and $8,000, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of (3.9)% and (0.8)%, respectively. The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, is primarily attributable to alternative minimum taxes and state minimum taxes owed. The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, is primarily attributable to state minimum taxes owed.

Juniper files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. Juniper is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012. Additionally, with few exceptions, Juniper is no longer subject to U.S. state tax examinations for years prior to 2012.

(13) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-

09”). The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of “Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which provides new guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. The standard becomes effective for Juniper beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The standard requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet rather than being separated into current and noncurrent. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted and the standard may be applied either retrospectively or on a prospective basis to all deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This ASU simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). The provisions of ASU 2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not believe this ASU will have an impact on its financial statements except for disclosure requirements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year delay for the effective date of the revenue standard. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information that may constitute forward-looking statements. Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “should,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “would,” and similar expressions, which are generally not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future—including statements relating to our future operating or financial performance or events, our strategy, goals, plans and projections regarding our financial position, our liquidity and capital resources, and our product development—are forward-looking statements. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. Our Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Company Overview

We are a women’s health therapeutics company focused on developing therapeutics that address unmet medical needs in women’s health. Our pipeline of product and product development programs utilizes proprietary bioadhesive delivery system (“BDS”) gel and multi-segment intravaginal ring (“IVR”) drug delivery technologies. Our BDS gel is a polymer designed to adhere to the vaginal epithelium to provide sustained and controlled delivery of active drug product for acute treatments. The IVR technology allows for the delivery of one or more drugs in a single segmented ring to potentially address both acute and chronic conditions.

Our objective is to be a leader in the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapeutics designed to treat unmet medical needs in women’s health. Key elements of our strategy include:

 

    Advancing our lead product candidate, COL-1077, an investigational 10% lidocaine bioadhesive vaginal gel, through clinical development and regulatory approval;

 

    Advancing preclinical product candidates targeting overactive bladder, hormone replacement therapy, and preterm birth into clinical development;

 

    Supplying Crinone to our commercial partner, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany (“Merck KGaA”), for sale in over 90 countries around the world;

 

    Growing revenue from our formulation, analytical and product development capabilities at our pharmaceutical service business, Juniper Pharma Services (“JPS”), and deploying that same capability for the advancement of our in-house product candidates; and

 

    Identifying and pursuing business development collaborations, including co-development opportunities that leverage our proprietary drug delivery technologies and the pharmaceutical development capabilities of JPS for life-cycle management of existing commercial pharmaceutical products.

We are applying the cash flow generated from our core business operations, Crinone and JPS, to partially fund the advancement of our proprietary product pipeline. We believe this strategy positions us well for effective and capital-efficient growth.

The expenditures that will be necessary to execute our business plan are subject to numerous uncertainties. Completion of clinical trials may take several years or more, and the length of time generally varies substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. It is not unusual for the clinical development of these types of product candidates to each take three years or more, and for total development costs to exceed $25 million for each product candidate. We estimate that clinical trials of the type we generally conduct are typically completed over the following timelines:

 

Clinical Phase

   Estimated
Completion
Period

Phase 1

   1 - 2 Years

Phase 2

   1 - 3 Years

Phase 3

   1 - 3 Years

The duration and the cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during the clinical trial protocol, including, among others, the following:

 

    the number of patients that ultimately participate in the trial;

 

    the duration of patient follow-up that seems appropriate in view of results;

 

    the number of clinical sites included in the trials;

 

    the length of time required to enroll suitable patient subjects; and

 

    the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate.

We generally will test potential product candidates in preclinical studies for safety, toxicology and immunogenicity in addition to utilizing already published data for the underlying active pharmaceutical ingredient. We may then conduct multiple clinical trials for each product candidate. As we obtain results from trials, we may elect to discontinue or delay clinical trials for certain product candidates in order to focus our resources on more promising product candidates.

An element of our business strategy is to pursue the research and development of a broad portfolio of product candidates. This is intended to allow us to diversify the risks associated with our research and development expenditures. To the extent we are unable to maintain a broad range of product candidates, our dependence on the success of one or a few product candidates increases.

Regulatory approval is required before we can market our product candidates as therapeutic products. In order to proceed to subsequent clinical trial stages and to ultimately achieve regulatory approval, the regulatory agency must conclude that our clinical data is safe and effective. Results from preclinical testing and early clinical trials (through Phase 2) may often not be predictive of results obtained in later clinical trials. In various pharmaceutical companies like ours, a number of new drugs have shown promising results in early clinical trials, but subsequently failed to establish sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain necessary regulatory approvals.

Our business strategy includes the option of entering into collaborative arrangements with third parties to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates. In the event that third parties take over the clinical trial process for one of our product candidates, the estimated completion date would largely be under control of that third party rather than us. We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which proprietary products, if any, will be subject to future collaborative arrangements, in whole or in part, and how such arrangements would affect our development plan or capital requirements.

As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, among others, it is difficult to accurately estimate the duration and completion costs of our research and development projects or when, if ever, and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of a product. Our inability to complete our research and development projects in a timely manner or our failure to enter into collaborative agreements, when appropriate, could significantly increase our capital requirements and could adversely impact our liquidity. These uncertainties could force us to seek additional, external sources of financing from time to time in order to continue with our business strategy. Our inability to raise additional capital, or to do so on terms reasonably acceptable to us, would jeopardize the future success of our business.

Clinical Development Program for COL-1077

We are currently advancing COL-1077, an investigational 10% lidocaine BDS vaginal gel intended as a local anesthetic for pain from minimally invasive gynecological procedures. In March 2015, we filed an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for COL-1077. In June 2015, we began enrolling patients in a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of COL-1077 in women undergoing transvaginal pipelle-directed endometrial biopsy with tenaculum placement, a procedure to remove a tissue sample from the inner lining of the uterus.

This study builds on a prior proof-of-concept study that evaluated the effect of 5% lidocaine BDS gel versus placebo BDS gel in a vasopressin-induced cramping model. In the earlier study, there were statistically significant decreases in objectively measured uterine pressure, objectively measured uterine contraction frequency, patient reported pain, and the perceived number of uterine contractions.

The primary endpoint of the current Phase 2b study is a reduction in pain intensity at the time of endometrial biopsy, with secondary endpoints assessing the reduction in peri- and post-procedural pain over a 24-hour time period. Additional endpoints will evaluate safety and need for rescue analgesic, as well as some exploratory patient-related outcome assessments such as ability to return to normal activities after the procedure is performed.

We utilized the expertise of JPS for the development and clinical trial manufacturing of this product. We are using external contract research organizations for clinical study management.

We completed enrollment in our Phase 2b clinical trial in July 2016 and continue to expect to announce top-line study results in the third quarter of 2016. Assuming positive results, we plan to advance COL-1077 into Phase 3 in 2017.

Preclinical Programs

JNP-0101 - Oxybutynin IVR for the treatment of OAB

We are developing an IVR product candidate designed to deliver oxybutynin for the treatment of overactive bladder (“OAB”) in women. Oxybutynin is currently approved for the treatment of OAB, and oral oxybutynin is first line therapy for most women, however, oral oxybutynin therapy is frequently discontinued due to undesirable side effects including dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation. We expect that the delivery of oxybutynin using our IVR technology will provide an improved side effect profile as the drug will be delivered to local tissues in higher concentrations, and bypass first pass hepatic metabolism issues (where a drug is metabolized in the liver resulting in reduced drug availability and/or metabolites that can cause side effects). We expect to complete IND-enabling studies and file an IND with the FDA in 2017, and initiate the Phase 2 program thereafter.

JNP-0201 - Progesterone and Estradiol IVR for HRT

Our segmented IVR product candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in menopausal women will contain separate natural progesterone and natural estradiol segments. JNP-0201 has been designed to deliver these hormones locally to vaginal tissue. We believe our delivery approach will provide an improved side effect profile when compared to the currently approved combination HRT therapies; these include orally administered formulations utilizing synthetic hormones, which have been associated in published clinical trials with higher risk of side effects including cardiovascular events. In addition, we believe that delivery using our IVR technology will improve patient compliance and convenience versus other routes of administration, including oral therapies and patches. This product candidate is currently in preclinical development. We expect to file an IND with the FDA for JNP-0201 in 2017.

JNP-0301 - Progesterone IVR for the prevention of PTB

JNP-0301 is a natural progesterone IVR product candidate for the prevention of preterm birth in women with a short cervical length. Short cervical length at mid-pregnancy is a critical predictor of preterm birth (“PTB”) in women, and medical guidelines issued by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine, among others, support use of vaginal progesterone in women with a short cervical length at mid-pregnancy to reduce the risk of PTB. There is no FDA approved product to prevent PTB in women at risk due to short cervix. We believe JNP-0301 can enable the consistent local delivery of progesterone while facilitating patient compliance. This product candidate is currently in preclinical development, and we expect to continue our work on determining the clinical and regulatory pathway for a vaginal progesterone therapy for this indication.

Crinone:

Crinone is a BDS vaginal progesterone gel designed to be used for progesterone supplementation or replacement as part of assisted reproductive technology (“ART”) for infertile women with progesterone deficiency. Crinone is approved for marketing in the United States, Europe, and certain other markets. We licensed Crinone to our commercial partner, Merck KGaA, for markets outside the United States, and we sold the U.S. intellectual property rights to Crinone to Allergan Plc (“Allergan”) in 2010.

Crinone continues to be introduced in new countries by Merck KGaA. Under the terms of our current license and supply agreement with Merck KGaA, we manufacture and sell Crinone to Merck KGaA on a country-by-country basis at the greater of (i) cost plus 20% or (ii) a percentage of Merck KGaA’s net selling price based on a tiered structure. As sales unit volumes increase, our percentage share of incremental sales decreases. Additionally, we are jointly cooperating with Merck KGaA to evaluate and implement manufacturing cost reductions, with both parties sharing any benefits realized from these initiatives. The license and supply agreement with Merck KGaA was renewed in April 2013, extending the expiration date to May 2020. If, at the end of the supply term, the parties cannot agree upon mutually acceptable terms for renewal of the supply arrangement, Merck KGaA will have the option of converting the agreement into a license agreement and will be free to manufacture, or have manufactured, Crinone pursuant to the terms set forth in the current license and supply agreement.

We record product revenues from our shipment of Crinone to Merck KGaA and we record royalty revenues from Allergan based on its U.S. sales of Crinone.

Pharmaceutical Service Business:

JPS, our pharmaceutical service business, offers a range of sophisticated technical services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Our customers range from start-up biotechnology firms to global pharmaceutical companies.

Within our services offering, we provide our customers expertise on the characterization, development, and manufacturing of pharmaceutical compounds for clinical trials. We believe we have particular expertise in problem solving for challenging compounds that are considered “difficult to progress.” Our service model allows us to take customers’ product candidates from early development through clinical trials manufacturing. These same capabilities are also deployed for our in-house proprietary product development activities, including managing the preclinical and clinical manufacturing stages for COL-1077 and our IVR programs. We also support our customers with advanced analytical and consulting services for intellectual property defense.

Through JPS, we also manage the global supply chain and contract manufacturing of Crinone, for our partner Merck KGaA.

Business Development Collaborations:

Our IVR and BDS technologies can be applied to life-cycle management strategies for existing commercial products that may benefit from intravaginal delivery of drugs. In particular, existing commercial products that are injectable, experience poor compliance, or have systemic toxicity limitations may benefit from our delivery technologies.

We are actively exploring business development collaborations that will leverage our novel drug delivery technologies and in-house expertise at JPS. We expect to be an active participant in these collaborations, including participating as a co-development partner, depending on the product and market opportunity.

Sources of Revenue

We generate revenues primarily from the sale of our products and services and from our royalty stream. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we derived approximately 64% of our revenues from the sale of our products, 28% from the sale of our services, and 8% from our royalty stream. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we derived approximately 65% of our revenues from the sale of our products, 27% from the sale of our services, and 8% from our royalty stream. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we derived approximately 65% of our revenues from the sale of our products, 28% from the sale of our services, and 7% from our royalty stream. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we derived approximately 62% of our revenues from the sale of our products, 28% from the sale of our services, and 10% from our royalty stream.

We expect that revenues will continue to be derived from product sales to Merck KGaA, a royalty stream from Allergan, and from our service business. Quarterly sales results can vary widely and affect comparisons with prior periods because (i) products shipped to Merck KGaA occur only in full batches, and may not correlate to Merck KGaA’s in-market sales and (ii) service revenues are driven by contracting and maintaining an active backlog of customer projects, which may vary widely from quarter to quarter.

Total cost of revenues was $6.5 million and $5.6 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in total cost of revenues in 2016 was largely driven by the increased volume of Crinone product sold to Merck KGaA. There was a 34% increase in Crinone units shipped in the 2016 period as compared to the 2015 period.

Cost of service revenues are largely fixed and consist mainly of facility costs, external consultant fees, depreciation and materials used in connection with generating our service revenues. Personnel costs are scaled to support customer volume.

Product gross margin, including royalty income, decreased in 2016 as compared to 2015 due to pricing discounts granted to Merck KGaA based on volume purchases pursuant to the license and supply agreement. Service gross margin increased in 2016 as compared to 2015 due to mix of revenue type within the service segment and increased capacity utilization.

Research and development costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were largely associated with the development of COL-1077. The 2016 expense primarily includes clinical trial costs, personnel-related expenses, and professional service consultants. In March 2015, Drs. Robert Langer and William Crowley joined as strategic advisors to our Company and we recorded $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 in connection with their agreements. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, as a result of changes in underlying fair value of options we recorded $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense. As we continue to advance COL-1077 and pipeline product candidates, we expect corresponding increases in research and development costs.

Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $5.4 million, or 29%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to the following factors by segment:

Product

 

    Revenues from the sale of Crinone, increased by approximately $4.0 million, or 35%, from the 2015 period primarily due to both in-market and new market growth by Merck KGaA.

 

    Royalty revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Service

 

    Service revenues increased approximately $1.5 million, or 28%, from the 2015 period primarily due to increases in customer volume across our service offerings.

Total cost of revenues was $12.8 million and $10.4 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in total cost of revenues in 2016 was largely driven by the increased volume of Crinone product sold to Merck KGaA. There was a 31% increase in Crinone units shipped in the 2016 period as compared to the 2015 period.

Cost of service revenues are largely fixed and consist mainly of facility costs, external consultant fees, depreciation and materials used in connection with generating our service revenues. Personnel costs are scaled to support customer volume.

Product gross margin, including royalty income, increased in 2016 as compared to 2015 due to increased shipments of Crinone to more profitable markets where we benefit from a higher selling price from Merck KGaA. Service gross margin increased in 2016 as compared to 2015 due to mix of revenue type within the service segment and increased capacity utilization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require cash to pay our operating expenses, including research and development activities, fund working capital needs, make capital expenditures and fund acquisitions.

At June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were $13.0 million. Our cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at date of purchase and consist of cash in operating accounts.

In September 2013, we assumed debt of $3.9 million in connection with our acquisition of JPS. JPS had entered into a Business Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) covering three loan facilities with Lloyds TSB Bank (“Lloyds”) as administrative agent. JPS had drawn down $3.9 million under the Loan Agreement and as of June 30, 2016 owed a principal balance of $2.7 million. The three loan facilities are each repayable in monthly installments. Repayment began on one facility in February 2013, and the remaining two commenced in October 2013. All facilities are due for repayment over 15 years from the date of drawdown. Two of the facilities bear interest at the Bank of England’s base rate plus 1.95% and 2.55%, respectively. The interest rate at June 30, 2016 for these two facilities was 2.45% and 3.05%, respectively. The third facility is a fixed rate agreement bearing interest at 3.52% per annum. The weighted average interest rate for the three loan facilities for the six months ending June 30, 2016 was 3.00%. The Loan Agreement is secured by the mortgaged property and other assets of JPS. The Loan Agreement contains financial covenants that limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur, requires us to maintain certain levels of net worth, and restricts our ability to materially alter the character of JPS’s business. As of June 30, 2016, the Company remained in compliance with all of the covenants under the Loan Agreement.

In September 2013, as part of the acquisition of JPS, we assumed a $2.5 million obligation under a grant arrangement with the Regional Growth Fund on behalf of the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, and Skills in the United Kingdom. JPS used this grant to fund the building of their second facility, which includes analytical labs, office space, and a clinical manufacturing facility. As a part of the arrangement, JPS is required to create and maintain certain full-time equivalent personnel levels through October 2017. As of June 30, 2016, we remained in compliance with the covenants of the arrangement.

The income from the Regional Growth Fund will be recognized on a decelerated basis over the next two years. As of June 30, 2016, the obligation is valued at $1.0 million and is recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of other income on the obligation that will be recognized provided we remain in compliance with the covenants will be the following:

Our future capital requirements depend on a number of factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our current and future products and services and the resources we devote to developing and supporting the same. Our capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $0.5 million compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1.2 million compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our capital expenditures primarily relate to investments in capital equipment made at our Nottingham, U.K. site, our contract manufacturer sites and for research and development. We expect our capital expenditures to increase for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2016, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to additional research and development expenditures.

Table of Contents

Research and development expenses include costs for product and clinical development, which were a combination of internal and third-party costs, and regulatory fees. In 2015, our research and development activities continued for COL-1077. In 2016, we expect our research and development expenses to increase as we advance research and development efforts related to COL-1077, JNP-0101, JNP-0201 and JNP-0301.

As of June 30, 2016, we had 514,141 exercisable options outstanding which, if exercised, would result in approximately $3.8 million of additional capital and would cause the number of shares outstanding to increase. The intrinsic value of exercisable options was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The intrinsic value of exercisable options was $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, as well as cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital, including advancing our product candidates, and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $0.5 million, which resulted primarily from approximately $1.4 million in depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense and net changes in working capital items increased cash by approximately $0.5 million offset by a $1.4 million net loss. Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which resulted primarily from the purchase of property plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily relating to the principal payments on the note (Loan Agreement).

Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $38,000 and resulted primarily from a $1.0 million net loss and net changes in working capital items decreased cash by $1.0 million offset by approximately $1.9 million in depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Net cash used in investing activities was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which resulted primarily from the purchase of property plant and equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $49,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily relating to the principal payments on the note (Loan Agreement) offset by proceeds from the exercise of common stock options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2016, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 303(a)(4)(ii).

Contractual Obligations

On October 15, 2015, we entered into a lease agreement for our corporate office in Boston. The initial term of the lease agreement is approximately 39 months, which includes a three-month free rent period, after which monthly rental payments totaling $430,050 for the first twelve months, $437,100 for the next twelve months and $444,150 for the final twelve months. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments outside the ordinary course of business from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations set forth above are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses, that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as of June 30, 2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Rate Risk

We do not believe that we have material exposure to market rate risk. We may, however, seek additional financing to fund future obligations and no assurance can be given that the terms of future sources of financing will not expose us to material market rate risk.

There has been no material change to our market rate risk exposure since December 31, 2015.

Foreign Currency Exchange

A significant portion of our operations are conducted through operations in countries other than the United States. Revenues from our international operations that were recorded in U.S. dollars represented approximately 69% of our total international revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The remaining 31% were sales in British pounds. Our raw materials for cost of product revenues are primarily purchased in Euros. Since we conduct our business in U.S. dollars, our main exposure, if any, results from changes in the exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar and the Euro and the U.S. dollar. Our policy is to reduce exposure to exchange rate fluctuations by designating most of our assets and liabilities, as well as most of our revenues and expenditures, in U.S. dollars, or having them linked to the U.S. dollar. We have not historically engaged in hedging activities relating to our non-U.S. dollar operations.

There has been no material change to our foreign currency exchange risk exposure since December 31, 2015.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we 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 such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During our most recent fiscal quarter, there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Claims and lawsuits are filed against our Company from time to time. Although the results of pending claims are always uncertain, we believe that we have adequate reserves or adequate insurance coverage in respect of these claims, but no assurance can be given as to the sufficiency of such reserves or insurance coverage in the event of any unfavorable outcome resulting from these actions.

Item 1a. Risk Factors

An investment in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 in addition to other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our financial statements and related notes hereto, before deciding to invest in our common stock. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
