Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2 The Company’s complete listing of significant accounting policies is described in Note 2 to the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the Company’s balance sheets and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, costs of product revenues, inventory reserves, the accounting for common stock warrants, stock-based compensation, and accounting for research and development costs. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Risks and Uncertainties While Twirla has been approved by the FDA, other potential product candidates developed by the Company will require approval from the FDA prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s other product candidates will receive the required approval. If the Company is denied approval or such approval is delayed, or is unable to obtain the necessary financing to complete development and approval, there could be a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. It should be noted that the possibility of continued public health threats could adversely affect the Company’s ongoing or planned business operations. For example, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic previously resulted in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, access restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, and stay at home orders. The most significant impacts to the Company’s business were encountered by sales representatives promoting Twirla in the field, as some offices limited opportunities for face-to-face interactions with healthcare providers. Re-implementation of COVID-19 restrictions, if necessary in the future, may disrupt the Company’s business and/or could adversely affect the Company’s commercialization plans and results. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if the Company or any of the third parties with whom the Company engages, including personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities and other third parties with whom the Company conducts business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, the Company’s ability to conduct its business in the manner and on the timeline presently planned could be materially and adversely impacted. Another shutdown necessitating work in a completely remote environment could result in delays to its business activities and commercialization plan. The Company will continue to closely monitor events as they develop, and plan for alternative and mitigating measures that can be implemented if needed. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds that invest primarily in commercial paper and U.S. government and U.S. government agency obligations. The Company maintains balances with financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowances Trade accounts receivable are amounts owed to the Company by its customers for product that has been delivered. The trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount, less prompt pay and other discounts, chargebacks, and an allowance for credit losses, if any. The allowance for credit losses represents the Company’s estimate of losses over the life of the receivables. The Company evaluates forward-looking economic factors and uses professional judgment to determine the allowance for credit losses. The credit loss reserves are reviewed and adjusted periodically. Credit loss reserves were not material as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Trade accounts receivable are aged based on the contractual payment terms. When the collectability of an invoice is no longer probable, the Company will create a reserve for that specific receivable. If a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, it is charged against the general credit loss reserve or the reserve for the specific receivable, if one exists. Fair Value of Financial Instruments In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825, Financial Instruments Other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature. Inventory Inventory is valued utilizing the weighted average costing method. The Company records an inventory reserve for losses associated with dated, expired, excess or obsolete items. This reserve is based on management’s current knowledge with respect to inventory levels, planned production and sales volume assumptions. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory reserves approximated $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Long-Lived Assets In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense consists primarily of costs related to personnel, including salaries and other personnel-related expenses, expenses related to manufacturing, clinical trial expenses, consulting fees, and support services used in drug development. All research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development In certain circumstances, the Company is required to make advance payments to vendors for goods or services that will be received in the future for use in research and development activities. In such circumstances, the advance payments are deferred and are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received. Advertising Costs Deferred Financing Costs Costs directly attributable to the Company’s senior secured term loan (see Note 7) are deferred and reported as a reduction of the related term loan. These costs represent legal fees and other costs related to the term loan and are being amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs charged to interest expense was approximately $44,000 and $146,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and was approximately $146,000 and $284,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts in United States financial institutions, the balances of which exceed federally insured limits. The Company mitigates credit risk by limiting the investment type and maturity to securities that preserve capital, maintain liquidity, and have a high credit quality. The Company has not recognized any losses from credit risks on such accounts. The Company has Major customers of the Company are defined as those constituting greater than 10% of its total revenue. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had sales to five customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of its total revenue. These customers had sales of $1.7 million, $1.3 million, $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, which represented 93% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2023. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had sales to five customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of its total revenue. These customers had sales of $3.2 million, $3.2 million, $3.2 million, $3.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, which represented 92% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Accounts receivable related to these five customers comprised 36%, 26%, 18%, 15%, and 0%, of the Company’s total accounts receivable, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had sales to three customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of its total revenue. These customers had sales of $0.7 million, $0.6 million, and $0.6 million, respectively, which represented 30% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2022. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had sales to three customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of its total revenue. These customers had sales of $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which represented 33% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product, Twirla, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised goods or services to a customer. In accordance with the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. The Company’s customers are located in the United States and consist primarily of wholesale distributors. Trade accounts receivable due to the Company from contracts with its customers are stated separately in the balance sheet, net of various allowances as described in the Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance policy. The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is equal to the amount of consideration that is expected to be received from the sale of product to its customers. Revenue is only recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur in future periods. To determine whether a significant reversal will occur in future periods, the Company assesses both the likelihood and magnitude of any such potential reversal of revenue. Twirla is sold to customers at the wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”). However, the Company records product revenue, net of reserves for applicable variable consideration. These types of variable consideration items reduce revenue and include the following: ● Distribution services fees; ● Prompt pay and other discounts; ● Product returns; ● Chargebacks; ● Rebates; and ● Co-payment assistance. An estimate for each variable consideration item is made and is recorded in conjunction with the revenue being recognized. Generally, if the estimated amount is payable to a customer, it is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable. If the estimated amount is payable to an entity other than a customer, it is recorded as a current liability. An estimated amount of variable consideration may differ from the actual amount. At each balance sheet date, these provisions are analyzed, and adjustments are made if necessary. Any adjustments made to these provisions would affect net product revenue and earnings in the current period. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company must make significant judgments to determine the estimate for certain variable consideration. For example, the Company must estimate the percentage of end-users that will obtain the product through public insurance such as Medicaid or through private commercial insurance. To determine these estimates, the Company relied on industry standard data and trend analysis since historical sales data was not available as Twirla was launched in December 2020. As historical data continues to become available, the Company will incorporate that data into its estimates of variable consideration. The specific considerations that the Company uses in estimating these amounts related to variable considerations are as follows: Distribution services fees – The Company pays distribution service fees to its wholesale distributors. These fees are a contractually fixed percentage of WAC and are calculated at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. The Company records these fees as contra trade accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Prompt pay and other discount The Company may also give other discounts to its customers to incentivize purchases and promote customer loyalty. The terms of such discounts may vary by customer. These discounts reduce gross product revenue at the time the revenue is recorded. Product returns Chargebacks Rebates Co-payment assistance Provisions for the revenue reserves described above totaled $8.5 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $19.3 million and $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, reserves on the balance sheet associated with variable consideration were $7.4 million. Warrants The Company accounts for its warrants to purchase common stock in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity . In connection with entering into a senior secured term loan facility in February 2020 (the “Perceptive Credit Agreement”), the Company issued warrants to purchase Credit Holdings III, L.P. (“Perceptive”). In connection with an amendment to that facility in February 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase In connection with an underwritten public offering completed in October 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase 6,660 shares of its common stock. These warrants are classified as liabilities, were measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss each reporting period. This offering also triggered an adjustment to the exercise price of the Perceptive Warrants, which resulted in a reduction of the strike price for these warrants. This reduction resulted in an immaterial increase to additional paid-in-capital. See Notes 7 and 8 for additional information. In connection with a registered direct offering completed in March 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. These warrants are classified as liabilities, were measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Statement of Operations each reporting period. This offering also triggered an adjustment to the exercise price of the Perceptive Warrants, which resulted in a reduction of the strike price for these warrants. This reduction resulted in an immaterial increase to additional paid-in-capital. See Notes 7 and 8 for additional information. In connection with a letter agreement and waiver entered into with an investor on April 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock. These warrants are classified as liabilities, were measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Statement of Operations each reporting period. See Note 8 for additional information. In connection with a public offering completed in July 2022, the Company issued warrants to purchase In connection with a public offering completed in May 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase Income Taxes The Company accounts for deferred taxes using the asset and liability method as specified by ASC 740, Income Taxes The Company has adopted the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company has no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements under this guidance. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees and non-employees with an exercise price equal to no less than the fair value of the shares at grant date. Compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted and is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the weighted-average assumption of the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on key assumptions such as stock price, expected volatility and expected term. The Company elects to account for forfeitures when they occur. The equity instrument is not considered to be issued until the instrument vests. As a result, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. The Company also awards restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and its board of directors. RSUs are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the completion of the vesting restrictions. The Company expenses the cost of the RSUs, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the vesting restrictions lapse. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, common stock warrants, unvested RSUs and stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive, and therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented. The following table sets forth the outstanding potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, because to do so would be anti-dilutive (in common equivalent shares): September 30, 2023 2022 Common stock warrants 4,484,077 36,691 Unvested restricted stock units 135,037 142 Common stock options 43,510 5,778 Total 4,662,624 42,611 Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, the Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have or may have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that had a material effect on its financial statements. |
