CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue”, negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
 
We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Report and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management, any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.
 
From time to time, forward-looking statements also are included in our other periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 8-K, in our press releases, in our presentations, on our website and in other materials released to the public. Any or all of the forward-looking statements included in this Report and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Report and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report.
 
Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Description of Business
 
Change in Fiscal Year

On December 8, 2017, the Board of Directors of Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Opiant" or the “Company”), acting pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Company’s Bylaws, approved a resolution changing the Company’s fiscal year-end from July 31 to December 31. As such, the end of the quarters in the new fiscal year do not coincide with the end of the quarters in the Company's previous fiscal years. The Company made this change to align its fiscal year end with other companies within its industry.

Company  
Opiant is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing pharmacological treatments for addiction and drug overdose. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in June 2005 as Madrona Ventures, Inc. and, in September 2009, changed its name to Lightlake Therapeutics Inc. In January 2016, the Company again changed its name to Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On November 4, 2016 the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Opiant Pharmaceuticals, UK Limited.

On October 2, 2017, the Company changed its state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 2, 2017 whereby the Company merged with and into its recently formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, (i) the Company merged with and into its Delaware subsidiary, (ii) the Company's separate corporate existence in Nevada ceased to exist, (iii) the Company's Delaware subsidiary became the surviving corporation, (iv) each share of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was converted into one fully-paid and non-assessable share of common stock of Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, $0.001 par value per share, and (v) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company's Delaware subsidiary were adopted as its certificate of incorporation and bylaws at the effective time of the merger. The merger and the Agreement and Plan of Merger were approved by the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
The Company conceived, developed and licensed NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray, a treatment to reverse opioid overdose. This product was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in November 2015. It is marketed by Adapt Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), an Ireland-based pharmaceutical company. In October 2018, Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. completed its acquisition of Adapt. The Company plans to replicate this relatively low cost business strategy primarily through developing nasal opioid antagonists in the fields of addiction and drug overdose. The Company primarily aims to identify and progress those drug development opportunities that have the potential to file additional New Drug Applications (“NDA”) with the FDA within three to five years, with larger market opportunities and with the potential to self-commercialize in the fields of addiction and drug overdose.

The Company's current pipeline of product candidates includes pharmacological treatments for Bulimia Nervosa ("BN"), Alcohol Use Disorder ("AUD"), Opioid Use Disorder ("OUD") and a long acting Opioid Overdose Reversal ("OOR") product. We are also pursuing other treatment opportunities within the addiction space.

The Company has not had a bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. The Company is required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the clinical testing and manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products.

`Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all disclosures, including notes, required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

7



The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim period or for the entire year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These classifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss or loss per share.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Opiant Pharmaceuticals UK Limited, a company incorporated on November 4, 2016 under the England and Wales Companies Act of 2006. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.  
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto for the five-month period ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on March 7, 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates included in the financial statements include the valuation of: deferred income tax assets, equity instruments, stock-based compensation, acquired intangibles, and allowances for accounts receivable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $24.8 million and $8.1 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions insured up to $250 thousand by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Balances in the UK are insured up to £85 thousand by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (UK Equivalent). Although the Company’s cash balances exceeded these insured amounts at various times during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 excludes 3.7 million and 4.1 million shares, underlying stock options and warrants, respectively, because the effects would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per share is the same.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,  “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”  (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition” and some cost guidance included in ASC Subtopic 605-35, "Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that revenue is recognized when the transfer of goods or services to customers occurs in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires the disclosure of sufficient information to enable readers of the Company’s financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosure of information regarding significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 provides two methods of retrospective application. The first method would require the Company to apply ASU 2014-09 to each prior reporting period presented. The second method would require the Company to retrospectively apply ASU 2014-09 with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application.
 
There have been four new ASUs issued amending certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08,  "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net),"  was issued in March 2016 to clarify certain aspects of the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. In addition, ASU 2016-10,  "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,"  issued in April 2016, amends other sections of ASU 2014-09 including clarifying guidance related to identifying performance obligations

8



and licensing implementation. ASU 2016-12,  "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients"  provides amendments and practical expedients to the guidance in ASU 2014-09 in the areas of assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes received from customers, noncash consideration, contract modification and clarification of using the full retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. Finally, ASU 2016-20,  “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers,”  was issued in December 2016, and provides elections regarding the disclosures required for remaining performance obligations in certain cases and also makes other technical corrections and improvements to the standard. With its evaluation of ASU 2014-09, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605. The Company did not have a cumulative impact as of January 1, 2018 due to the adoption of Topic 606 and there was not an impact to its consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of applying Topic 606.
 
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.  
  
Note 3. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

As of September 30, 2018 , the Company had approximately $346 thousand recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets. Of this amount, approximately $22 thousand is the amount of remaining prepaid expense related to Renaissance Lakewood, LLC ("Renaissance") (see Note 9 - Commitments). Per the terms of its agreement with Renaissance, the Company was obligated to make a $245 thousand deposit during 2017 to fund the initial costs of the product development work to be performed by Renaissance on behalf of the Company.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has prepaid insurance in the amount of $104 thousand .

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased approximately $100 thousand of research and development supplies related to the above referenced product development work being performed by Renaissance. As provided under the agreement with Renaissance, the Company is obligated to pay for all supplies and materials that are needed to complete this product development work. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount of remaining prepaid expense was $76 thousand and $100 thousand , respectively because it is estimated that these supplies will be used within 12 months of the reporting date.

The remaining balance consists primarily of prepaid expenses such as rent, other insurance, and software licenses.

Note 5.     Accounts Receivable

On December 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “SWK Purchase Agreement”) with SWK Funding LLC (“SWK”), pursuant to which the Company sold, and SWK purchased, the Company’s right to receive, commencing on October 1, 2016, all Royalties (as defined in the SWK Purchase Agreement) arising from the sale by Adapt of NARCAN or any other Product, in an amount up to (i) $20,625,000 and then the Residual Royalty thereafter or (ii) $26,250,000 (the "Capped Royalty Amount"), if Adapt has received in excess of $25,000,000 of cumulative Net Sales for any two consecutive fiscal quarters during the period from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017 from the sale of NARCAN (the “Earn Out Milestone”), and then the Residual Royalty thereafter. The Residual Royalty is defined in the SWK Purchase Agreement as follows: (i) if the Earn Out Milestone is paid, then SWK shall receive 10% of all Royalties; provided, however, that if no generic version of NARCAN is commercialized prior to the six th anniversary of the SWK Closing Date, then SWK shall receive 5% of all Royalties after such date, and (ii) if the Earn Out Milestone is not paid, then SWK shall receive 7.86% of all Royalties; provided, however, that if no generic version of NARCAN is commercialized prior to the six th anniversary of the SWK Closing Date, then SWK shall receive 3.93% of all Royalties after such date. Under the SWK Purchase Agreement, the Company received an upfront purchase price of $13,750,000 less $40,000 of legal fees on the SWK Closing Date, and

9



received an additional $3,750,000 from SWK on August 10, 2017 after the Earn Out Milestone was achieved during the first two calendar quarters in 2017.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company determined that the Capped Royalty Amount provided in the SWK Agreement had been met. As a result, 90% of any succeeding milestone payments and royalties due from Adapt will revert to the Company while the remaining 10% will be paid to SWK. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recognized accounts receivable of $11.7 million , which is equivalent to 90% of the milestone payments and royalties earned during the five months ended December 31, 2017.
On February 28, 2018, the Company was notified that Adapt had entered into a license agreement with a Third Party (as defined in the License Agreement) with regard to one or more patents pursuant to which Adapt had invoked its right under Section 5.5 of that certain License Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2014 (the “Initial License Agreement”), by and between the Company and Adapt, as amended (the “License Agreement”), to offset 50% , or $6,250,000 , of the payment paid to such Third Party from the amounts payable by Adapt to the Company (under the License Agreement) and to SWK (under the SWK Purchase Agreement). To the extent that the license agreement which Adapt has entered into with the Third Party requires additional payments that fall under the scope of Section 5.5 of the License Agreement, Adapt may seek from the Company future payment offsets of up to 50% of such amounts that Adapt pays to such Third Party. In accordance with the License Agreement, Adapt may enter into such a licensing arrangement and exercise its right to deduct any payments with respect thereto at any time without the consent of the Company. Under the License Agreement, royalty or milestone payments for a calendar quarter are payable from Adapt to the Company, and Adapt may not deduct more than 50% of the amount payable for that calendar quarter. The Company has not been given access to the license agreement between Adapt and the Third Party and Adapt may not give the Company notice of any future offset payments until they are incurred. The Company is not aware of any potential offset payments related to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
On March 1, 2018, the Company received net milestone payments of $6.1 million . The remaining accounts receivable balance of $5.6 million , which is associated with the royalty and milestones earned during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, was applied as an offset to the license fee owed to Adapt, as provided under Section 5.5 of the License Agreement. The $5.6 million of fees paid to Adapt is reported as license fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
At September 30, 2018 , the Company recorded $4.1 million as a receivable relating to royalty revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2018 .
Note 6. Deferred Revenue
 
On December 17, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor, Potomac, and subsequently received additional funding totaling $250 thousand for use by the Company for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide the investor with a 0.5% interest in the Company’s BED treatment product (the “BED Treatment Product”) and pay the investor 0.5% of the BED Net Profit in perpetuity (the “2013 0.5% Investor Interest”). “BED Net Profit” is defined as the pre-tax profit generated from the BED Treatment Product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection with the BED Treatment Product, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead. In the event that the BED Treatment Product was not approved by the FDA by December 17, 2016, the investor would have a 60 -day option to exchange its entire 0.5% Investor Interest for 31,250 shares of Common Stock of the Company. On February 17, 2017, the investor’s option to receive the shares of Common Stock terminated by its terms, which resulted in the Company beginning to recognize revenue in relation to this agreement in February 2017. The Company estimates that sufficient research and development will be completed by December 31, 2020 to allow the Company to advance the program into final registration studies. Therefore, the Company recognized revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected completion date. The Company recognized approximately $14.4 thousand and $21.7 thousand of revenue relating to the agreement for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company recognized approximately $43.4 thousand and $54.3 thousand of revenue related to the agreement, respectively.

On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor, Potomac, and subsequently received funding totaling $500 thousand for use by the Company for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide the investor with a 1.0% interest in the Company’s BED Treatment Product and pay the investor 1.0% of the BED Net Profit generated from the BED Treatment Product in perpetuity (the “ 1.0% Investor Interest”). “BED Net Profit” is defined as the pre-tax profit generated from the BED Treatment Product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection with the BED Treatment Product, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead. In the event that the BED Treatment Product was not approved by the FDA by September 17, 2017, the investor would have a 60 -day option to exchange its entire 1.0% Investor Interest for 62,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company. On November 15, 2017, the investor’s option to receive the shares of Common Stock terminated by its terms, which resulted in the Company beginning to recognize revenue in relation to this agreement in November 2017. The Company estimates that sufficient research and development will be completed by December 31, 2020 to allow the Company to advance the program into final registration studies. Therefore, the Company recognized revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected completion date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $39.2 thousand and $117.6 thousand , respectively related to this agreement. The Company recognized no revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
 
On July 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with an investor, Potomac, and subsequently received funding from an individual investor in the amount of $250 thousand for use by the Company for any purpose. In exchange for this funding, the Company agreed to provide the investor with a 0.5% interest in the BED Net Profit (the “2015 0.5% Investor Interest”) generated from the BED Treatment Product in perpetuity. The investor also has rights with respect to the 2015 0.5% Investor Interest if the BED Treatment Product is sold or the Company is sold. If the product is not introduced to the market and not approved by the FDA or an equivalent body in Europe and not marketed by July 20, 2018, the investor will have a 60 -day option to exchange the 2015 0.5% Investor Interest for 25,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company. As of September 30, 2018, the Company recognized $8.9 thousand of revenue related to this agreement.

On September 22, 2015, the Company received a $1.6 million commitment from the Foundation which later assigned its interest to Valour in October 2016, from which the Company had the right to make capital calls from the Foundation for the research, development, and any other activities connected to the Company’s opioid antagonist treatments for addictions and related disorders that materially rely on certain studies funded by the Foundation’s investment, excluding the Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product (the “Certain Studies Products”), certain operating expenses, and any other purpose consistent with the goals of the Foundation. In exchange for funds invested by the Foundation, Valour currently owns 2.1333% interest in the Certain Studies Products Net Profit (the “ 2.1333% Interest”). The “Certain Studies Net Profit” is defined as any pre-tax revenue received by the Company that was derived from the sale of the Certain Studies Products less any and all expenses incurred by and payments made by the Company in connection with the Certain Studies Products, including but not limited to an allocation of Company overhead based on the proportionate time, expenses and resources devoted by the Company to Certain Studies Product-related activities, which allocation shall be determined in good faith by the Company. Valour also has rights with respect to its up to a 2.1333% Interest if the Certain Studies Product is sold or the Company is sold. Additionally, the Company may buy back, in whole or in part, the 2.1333% Interest from Valour within 2.5 years or after 2.5 years of the initial investment at a price of two times or 3.5 times, respectively, the relevant investment amount represented by the interests to be bought back. If an aforementioned treatment is not introduced to the market by September 22, 2018, Valour will have a 60 -day option to exchange its 2.1333% Interest for shares of the Common Stock of the Company at an exchange rate of one-tenth of a share for every dollar of its investment. On October 2, 2015, December 23, 2015, and May 28, 2016, the Company made capital calls of approximately $618 thousand , $715.5 thousand , and $266.5 thousand , respectively, from the Foundation in exchange for 0.824% , 0.954% and 0.355333% interests in the aforementioned treatments, respectively. The Company will defer recording revenue until such time as Valour’s option expires or Valour’s right to exercise the option is eliminated by the achievement of certain milestones. Upon expiration of the exercise option, the deliverables of the arrangement will be reviewed and evaluated under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605. In the event Valour chooses to exchange its 2.1333% Interest, in whole or in part, for shares of Common Stock of the Company, that transaction will be accounted for in a manner similar to a sale of shares of Common Stock for cash. As of September 30, 2018, no revenue had been recognized in relation to this agreement. During September 2018 Valour elected to exchange its interest for shares of Common Stock and accordingly the Company issued 160,000 shares of its Common Stock to Valour.

On April 17, 2018, the Company was awarded a grant of approximately $7.4 million from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, (NIDA). The grant provides the Company with additional resources for the ongoing development of OPNT003 (intranasal nalmefene), a long-lasting opioid antagonist for the treatment of opioid overdose. The grant includes approximately $2.6 million to be funded for the period ending March 31, 2019, with the balance to be funded over the subsequent two years, subject to available funds and satisfactory progress on the development of OPNT003. Government grants are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. The Company recognized revenues from grants in the

11



period during which the related costs were incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grants were provided had been met and only perfunctory obligations were outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company received the first tranche cash draw of $500 thousand and recognized revenue of $163 thousand related to this grant.
On September 19, 2018, the Company entered into a contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), which is part of the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, to accelerate the Company’s development of OPTN003, its lead product candidate. OPTN003, nasal nalmefene, is a potent, long-acting opioid antagonist currently in development for the treatment of opioid overdose. The contract will provide potential funding up to a maximum of approximately $4.6 million and cover activities related to a potential New Drug Application submission for OPTN003 with the Food and Drug Administration. The Contract will provide approximately $611,000 for the project through September 30, 2019, with the balance to be funded over the following two years, subject to satisfactory project progress, availability of funds and certain other conditions. No revenue was recorded for the period ended September 30, 2018.

The Board has the authority to determine to whom options will be granted, the number of options, the term, and the exercise price. Options are to be granted at an exercise price not less than fair value for an ISO or an NSO. The vesting period is normally over a period of four years from the vesting date.

Note 9. Commitments
The Company has entered into various agreements related to its business activities. The following is a summary of the Company’s commitments:

Torreya Agreement

On December 18, 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Torreya (the "2014 Agreement"), a financial advisory firm, under which Torreya agreed to provide financial advisory services with regard to the License Agreement. The 2014 Agreement also requires the Company to pay an additional fee equivalent to 3.75% of all amounts received by the Company in excess of $3.0 million , in perpetuity.

On April 25, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Torreya, under which Torreya agreed to provide financial advisory services for financing activities. In exchange for these services, the Company is required to pay a fee on all funding received by the Company as a result of assistance provided by Torreya. Torreya’s fee would be equal to 5% of gross funding received by the Company up to $20 million plus 3.5% of any proceeds received in excess of $20 million .

On September 8, 2017, the Company and Torreya entered into the Supplemental Engagement Letter to provide financial advisory services with respect to the licensing of the intellectual property rights to develop and commercialize certain products with Adapt. The revised engagement amends total consideration as follows: (i) an aggregate of $300 thousand in cash payments to be paid by the Company to Torreya in three equal installments over a 16 -month period; (ii) shares of Common Stock, equal to an aggregate value of $300 thousand , to be issued by the Company to Torreya in three equal installments over a 16 -month period; (iii) if the Earn Out Milestone Payment is paid under the SWK Agreement, approximately $140.6 thousand , or 3.75% of the Earn Out Milestone Payment (as defined in the SWK Agreement), shall be paid by the Company to Torreya within 15 days of the date that the Earn Out Milestone (as defined in the SWK Agreement) has been paid to the Company; (iv) once SWK has received the Capped Royalty Amount, if the Earn Out Milestone Payment (as defined in the SWK Agreement) is paid, Torreya shall receive 3.375% of the Total Consideration (as defined in the 2014 Agreement) received thereafter or 3.5625% of the Total Consideration received thereafter if no generic version of NARCAN is commercialized prior to the six th anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the SWK Agreement) as per the terms of the SWK Agreement; and (v) once SWK has received the Capped Royalty Amount, if the Earn Out Milestone Payment has not been paid, Torreya shall receive 3.45525% of the Total Consideration received thereafter or 3.602625% of the Total Consideration received thereafter if no generic version of NARCAN is commercialized prior to the six th anniversary of the Closing Date as per the terms of the SWK Agreement. Payments made by the Company in the form of shares of Common Stock will be a defined number of shares calculated based upon the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the relevant date for the payment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
The interim consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in this Report, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Form 10-KT for the five months ended December 31, 2017 (the "Form 10-KT"). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in Part II - Other Information, Item 1A and in the Form 10-KT. Risk Factors below and elsewhere in this Report could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or anticipated results.  
Change in Fiscal Year
On December 8, 2017, the Board of Directors of Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”), acting pursuant to Section 5.1 of our Bylaws, approved a resolution changing our fiscal year-end from July 31 to December 31. We made this change to align our fiscal year end with other companies within our industry.
Overview
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company developing pharmacological treatments for addiction and drug overdose. We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in June 2005 as Madrona Ventures, Inc. and, in September 2009, we changed our name to Lightlake Therapeutics Inc. In January 2016, we again changed our name to Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
On October 2, 2017, we changed our state of incorporation from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 2, 2017, whereby we merged with and into our recently formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, (i) we merged with and into our Delaware subsidiary, (ii) our separate corporate existence in Nevada ceased to exist,(iii) our Delaware subsidiary became the surviving corporation, (iv) each share of our Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), outstanding immediately prior to the effective time was converted into one fully-paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock of Opiant Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (v) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of our Delaware subsidiary were adopted as our certificate of incorporation and bylaws at the effective time of the merger. The merger and the Agreement and Plan of Merger were approved by our Board of Directors and stockholders representing a majority of our outstanding Common Stock.
We developed NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray, a treatment to reverse opioid overdose. This product was conceived, developed and licensed by Opiant and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in November 2015. It is commercialized by Adapt Pharma Operations Limited (“Adapt”), an Ireland based pharmaceutical company. In October 2018, Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. completed its acquisition of Adapt. We plan to continue to develop pharmacological treatments for addiction and drug overdose. We primarily aim to identify and progress those drug development opportunities that have the potential to file additional New Drug Applications (“NDA”) with the FDA within three to five years, with large market opportunities and with the potential to self-commercialize.
We have not consistently attained profitable operations and have historically depended upon obtaining sufficient financing to fund our operations. We anticipate if revenues are not sufficient, then additional funding will be required in the form of debt financing and/or equity financing from the sale of our Common Stock, and/or financings from the sale of interests in our prospective products and/or royalty transactions. However, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues or raise sufficient funding to fund our operations.
 
We have not had a bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the clinical testing and manufacturing and sale of pharmaceutical products.
 
Our current pipeline of product candidates includes pharmacological treatments for Bulimia Nervosa ("BN"), Alcohol Use Disorder ("AUD"), Opioid Use Disorder ("OUD") and a long acting Opioid Overdose Reversal ("OOR") product. We are also pursuing other treatment opportunities.

General and Administrative Expenses
  
Our general and administrative expenses were $3.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase associated with stock based compensation expense and a $0.5 million increase for general corporate expenses, including investor relations during the three months ended September 30, 2018 , as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Comparison of Nine Months ended September 30, 2018 to the Nine Months ended September 30, 2017

Revenues
 
We recognized $ 9.2 million and $3.8 million of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we recognized $8.9 million of revenue from the license agreement between us and Adapt, $0.2 million from treatment investment revenue from our BED program, and $163 thousand from our grant with NIDA.

Our general and administrative expenses were $9.2 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase of $2.9 million was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase associated with stock based compensation expense, a $0.5 million increase in corporate expenses including investor relations and insurance expense and $0.1 million in personnel and related expenses.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
Our research and development expenses were $5.9 million and $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of $2.9 million was attributed to a $1.1 million increase in stock based compensation expense, a $1.1 million increase in personnel and related expense, and a $0.7 million increase in third party expenses associated with research and development programs.
 
License fees
 
We recorded $5.6 million associated with license fees incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The license fees relate to the License Agreement with Adapt. There were no license fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Net cash used in operating activities
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , net cash used in operating activities was $0.3 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $11.7 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.4 million mostly offset by $4.6 million associated with stock based compensation, $0.8 million for issuance of stock for services and a $8.4 million increase in other working capital items.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $6.4 million which was primarily due to the net loss of approximately $6.0 million and a net decrease of $2.1 million in working capital items which was partially offset by stock based compensation of options and warrants and stock issued for services of $1.7 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $17.0 million and was primarily attributable to the sale of Common Stock. There were no financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Plan of Operation
 
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, we plan to broaden our product pipeline and anticipate commencing further trials based on our existing, as well as potential, patents.

In March 2017, we initiated a Phase II clinical trial evaluating our novel nasally-delivered opioid antagonist candidate, OPNT001, as a potential treatment for BN. We also plan to advance OPNT002, for the treatment of AUD, into additional clinical trials, and progress our drug development program for the heroin vaccine, which is currently in pre-clinical testing.

On February 12, 2018, we announced positive data from a Phase I clinical study of our product candidate OPNT003 (intranasal nalmefene) and provided an update on a meeting held February 8, 2018 with the FDA regarding our planned development program. OPNT003 is in development as a long acting opioid antagonist for the treatment of opioid overdose. Based on feedback from the FDA in connection with this meeting, we intend to pursue a 505(b)(2) development path, with a potential to submit an NDA for the drug and intranasal delivery device combination in 2020. Nalmefene for injection was previously approved by the FDA for treating suspected or confirmed opioid overdose. The 505(b)(2) pathway allows companies to rely in part on the FDA’s findings of safety and efficacy for a previously approved product and to supplement these findings with a more limited set of their own studies to satisfy FDA requirements, as opposed to conducting the full array of preclinical and clinical studies that would typically be required.

We have full commercial rights to OPNT003 and on April 17, 2018 we were awarded a grant of approximately $7.4 million from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Drug Abuse. The grant provides us with additional resources for the ongoing development of OPNT003 (intranasal nalmefene), a long-lasting opioid antagonist for the treatment of opioid overdose. The grant includes approximately $2.6 million to be funded for the period ending March 31, 2019, with the balance to be funded over the subsequent two years, subject to available funds and satisfactory progress on the development of OPNT003.

On September 19, 2018, we entered into a contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), which is part of the U.S. Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, to accelerate our development of OPTN003. The contract will provide potential funding up to a maximum of approximately $4.6 million and cover activities related to a potential NDA submission for OPTN003 with the FDA. The contract will provide approximately $611,000 for the project through September 30, 2019, with the balance to be funded over the following two years, subject to satisfactory project progress, availability of funds and certain other conditions.

On September 27, 2018 the Company completed a secondary public offering of 811,764 shares of our Common Stock at $17.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the company of approximately $13.0 million after deducting the underwriters' discounts.

In October 2017, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through Cantor Fitzgerald, shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate offering price as set forth in the Sales Agreement and a related prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on March 19, 2018. We agreed to pay Cantor Fitzgerald a cash commission of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of shares under the Sales Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we sold 239,270 shares of our Common Stock and received net proceeds of $4.2 million after deducting sales commissions.
 
 We believe that we have sufficient capital resources to sustain operations through at least the next 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
We believe that the following critical policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
 
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These principals require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
We issue restricted stock to consultants for various services and employees for compensation. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of our Common Stock is measured at the earlier of: (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.
 
We issue options and warrants to consultants, directors, and officers as compensation for services. These options and warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which focuses on the current stock price and the volatility of moves to predict the likelihood of future stock moves. This method of valuation is typically used to accurately price stock options and warrants based on the price of the underlying stock.
 
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment, and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented. 
 
Fair value estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, note payable, and due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenues from nonrefundable, up-front license fees related to collaboration agreements, on a straight-line basis over the contracted or estimated period of performance. The period of performance over which the revenues are recognized is typically the period over which the research and/or development is expected to occur or manufacturing services are expected to be provided. When the period of performance is based on the period over which research and/or development is expected to occur, we are required to make estimates regarding drug development and commercialization timelines. Because of the many risks

24



and uncertainties associated with the development of drug candidates, these estimates regarding the period of performance may change.

In addition, we recognize revenue when the transfer of goods or services occurs in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. If one or more of the deliverables have a standalone value, then the arrangement would be separated into multiple units of accounting. This normally occurs when the research and development services could contractually and feasibly be provided by other vendors or if the customer could perform the remaining research and development itself, and when we have no further obligations and the right has been conveyed. When the deliverables cannot be separated, any initial payment received is treated like an advance payment for the services and recognized over the performance period, as determined based on all of the items in the arrangement. This period is usually the expected research and development period.

We recognize revenue from milestone payments upon achievement of the milestones and when we have no further involvement or obligation to perform services, as related to that specific element of the arrangement, provided the milestone is meaningful, and provided that collectability is reasonably assured and other revenue recognition criteria are met.
 
We recognize revenue from royalty and milestone revenue when we have fulfilled the terms of the contractual agreement and has no material future obligation, other than inconsequential and perfunctory support, and the amount of the royalty fee is determinable and collection is reasonably assured. With regard to royalty and milestone revenue, the Licensing Agreement with Adapt has terms that stipulates that royalty and milestone payments to be paid based on the achievement of net sales of NARCAN sold by Adapt. Based on historical experience and collectability, the Company recognizes revenue based on estimates of royalties earned during the applicable period and reflects in future revenue any differences between the estimated and actual royalties. These estimates are based upon information reported to the Company by Adapt. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09,  “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”  (“ASU 2014-09”) in the first quarter of 2018 and applied the modified retrospective approach.

Government grants and contracts are agreements that generally provide cost reimbursement for certain types of expenditures in return for research and development activities over a contractually defined period. We recognize revenues from grants and contracts in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the conditions under which the grants and contracts were provided have been met and only perfunctory obligations are outstanding.

After the adoption of ASU 2014-09, the Company determined the new guidance does not change the Company's policy of revenue recognition. The Company's primary source of revenue is through the recognition of royalty and milestone payments from Adapt. Milestone revenue is recognized upon successful accomplishment of certain sales targets set forth in the Adapt Agreement. Royalty revenue is determined based on the agreed upon royalty rate applied to NARCAN sales reported by Adapt.
There are no performance obligations by the Company and the Company is paid accordingly by the royalty report provided by Adapt on quarterly basis. There is no disaggregation of revenue given that the licensing revenue is based on one agreement and the nature and timing of revenue is predicated on the Adapt's delivery of the royalty report. In regards to treatment revenue, the Company received certain investments from investors in return for an interest in its existing treatments. Investors carry an option to exchange investment into shares of the Company. Revenue is deferred until such time that the option expires or milestones are achieved that eliminate the investor’s right to exercise the option. Once the option has expired, the Company determined its performance obligations under the agreement which typically is to perform R&D services related to treatments and recognizes revenue over a period of time which is usually the expected research and development period. The treatment revenue is disaggregated by program treatments. (See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Deferred Revenue).
 
Licensing Agreement
 
On December 15, 2014, we entered into the License Agreement with Adapt. Pursuant to the License Agreement, we provided a global license to develop and commercialize our intranasal naloxone opioid overdose reversal treatment, now known as NARCAN. In exchange for licensing its treatment, we received a nonrefundable, upfront license fee of $500 thousand in December 2014. We also received a monthly fee for one year for participation in joint development committee calls and the production and submission of an initial development plan. The initial development plan was completed and submitted in May 2015. Management evaluated the deliverables of this arrangement and determined that the licensing deliverable had a standalone value and therefore, the payments were recognized as revenue. In addition, on the SWK Closing Date, in connection with the SWK Agreement, we entered into the Adapt Amendment which amends the terms of the License Agreement relating to the grant of a commercial sublicense outside of the U.S and diligence efforts for commercialization of our Product. Under the terms of the Adapt Amendment, Adapt is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the Product in the U.S. In the event that Adapt wishes to grant a commercial sublicense to a third party in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we have agreed to negotiate an additional amendment to the License Agreement to include reduced financial terms with respect to the commercial

25



sublicense in such territory. Under such terms, we would receive an escalating double-digit percentage of all net revenue received by Adapt from a commercial sublicensee in the European Union or the United Kingdom. Net revenue received by Adapt from a commercial sublicensee in European Union or the United Kingdom would be included in determining sales-based milestones due to us.
 
We could also receive additional payments upon reaching various sales and regulatory milestones as well as royalty payments for commercial sales of NARCAN generated by Adapt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received $10.8 million in payments and recognized royalty revenues of approximately $8.9 million pursuant to the License Agreement. 
 
We recognize revenue for fees related to participation in the initial development plan and joint development once the fee is received and we have performed the required services for the period. 

Effect of Inflation

Inflation did not have a significant impact on our net sales, revenues, or income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on our reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration. Those standards have been addressed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-KT and in the Form 10-KT itself. 

Net Profit Interests

NARCAN

We have entered into agreements with certain investors whereby, in exchange for funding for the research, development, marketing and commercialization of a product relating to our treatment to reverse opioid overdoses (the “Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product”), we provided such investors with an interest in any pre-tax profits received by us that were derived from the sale of the Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product less any and all expenses incurred by and payments made by us in connection with the Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product, including but not limited to an allocation of our overhead devoted by us to product-related activities, which allocation shall be determined in good faith by us (the “OORT Net Profit”). A summary of the investor agreements is below, and categorized by investor:

On April 12, 2017, we entered into an amendment with Potomac whereby Potomac

26



granted us the right, during the period from April 12, 2017 until September 30, 2019, to buyback all or any portion of the interest at the price of $500 thousand for the full 0.98% interest (the “Potomac Interest No. 3 Buyback Amount”); provided, that in the event we exercise this right within 3.25 years of the date of the investment, we will pay Potomac 1.8 times the Potomac Interest No. 3 Buyback Amount; provided, further, that in the event we exercise this right after 3.25 years of the date of the investment and no later than September 30, 2019, we will pay Potomac 3.15 times the Potomac Interest No. 3 Buyback Amount.

Valour Fund, LLC (“Valour”)

On July 22, 2014, we received a $3.0 million commitment from a foundation (the “Foundation”) which later assigned its interest to Valour, from which we had the right to make capital calls from the Foundation for the research, development, marketing, commercialization and any other activities connected to the Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product, certain operating expenses and any other purpose consistent with the goals of the Foundation. In exchange for funds invested by the Foundation, Valour currently owns a 6.0% interest in the OORT Net Profit in perpetuity. On July 28, 2014, we received an initial investment of $111.5 thousand from the Foundation in exchange for a 0.22294% interest. On August 13, 2014, September 8, 2014, November 13, 2014 and February 17, 2015, we made capital calls of $422.0 thousand, $444.5 thousand, $1.034 million, and $988.0 thousand, respectively, from the Foundation in exchange for approximately 0.84%, 0.89%, 2.07% and 1.98% interests, respectively, in the OORT Net Profit. The Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product was approved by the FDA on November 18, 2015, and, as a result of such approval occurring prior to July 22, 2016, the option to exchange its interest for shares of our Common Stock at an exchange rate of 10 shares for every dollar of its investment terminated by its terms.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

We have entered into agreements with Potomac whereby, in exchange for funding for any purpose, we have provided Potomac with an interest in our BED treatment product (the “BED Treatment Product”) and pay Potomac a percentage of the pre-tax profit generated from the BED Treatment Product after the deduction of all expenses incurred by and payments made by us in connection with the BED Treatment Product, including but not limited to an allocation of our overhead (the “BED Net Profit”).

A summary of the investor agreements is below:

On December 17, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Potomac for additional funding in the amount of $250 thousand for use by us for any purpose. In exchange for this additional funding, we agreed to provide Potomac with a 0.5% interest in the BED Treatment Product and pay Potomac 0.5% of the BED Net Profit in perpetuity. During the year ended July 31, 2017, we

27



recognized approximately $40 thousand as revenue because Potomac’s option to receive 31,250 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for its entire 2013 0.5% Investor Interest terminated by its terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized approximately $43 thousand as treatment investment revenue.

On September 17, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Potomac for additional funding in the amount of $500 thousand. In exchange for this funding, we agreed to provide Potomac with an additional 1.0% interest in our BED Treatment Product and pay Potomac an additional 1.0% of the BED Net Profit in perpetuity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized approximately $118 thousand as treatment investment revenue.

On July 20, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Potomac for additional funding in the amount of $250 thousand. In exchange for this funding, we agreed to provide Potomac with an additional 0.50% interest in our BED Treatment Product and pay Potomac an additional 0.5% of the BED Net Profit in perpetuity. If the BED Treatment Product is not introduced to the market and not approved by the FDA or an equivalent body in Europe and not marketed by July 20, 2018, Potomac will have a 60-day option to exchange its 0.5% interest for 25,000 shares of our Common Stock. The option expired unexercised. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized approximately $9 thousand as treatment investment revenue.

Other Activities

In September 2015, we received a $1.6 million commitment from the Foundation which later assigned its interest to Valour, from which we had the right to make capital calls from the Foundation for the research, development, any other activities connected to our opioid antagonist treatments for addictions and related disorders that materially rely on certain studies funded by the Foundation’s investment, excluding the Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product (the “Certain Studies Products”), certain operating expenses, and any other purpose consistent with the goals of the Foundation. In exchange for funds invested by the Foundation, Valour currently owns a 2.13% interest in any pre-tax revenue received by us that was derived from the sale of the Certain Studies Products less any and all expenses incurred by and payments made by us in connection with the Certain Studies Products (the “Certain Studies Products Net Revenue”). Additionally, we may buyback, in whole or in part, the 2.13% interest from Valour within 2.5 years or after 2.5 years of the initial investment at a price of two times or 3.5 times, respectively, the relevant investment amount represented by the interests to be bought back. If an aforementioned treatment is not introduced to the market by September 22, 2018, Valour will have a 60-day option to exchange its 2.13% interest for shares of our Common Stock at an exchange rate of one-tenth of a share for every dollar of its investment. In October 2015, December 2015 and May 2016, we made capital calls of $618 thousand, $716 thousand, and $267 thousand from the Foundation in exchange for 0.824%, 0.954% and 0.355333% interests in the aforementioned treatments, respectively. We will defer recording revenue until such time as Valour’s option expires or milestones are achieved that eliminates Valour’s right to exercise the option. Upon expiration of the exercise option, the deliverables of the arrangement will be reviewed and evaluated under ASU 2014-09. In the event Valour chooses to exchange its 2.13% interest, in whole or in part, for shares of our Common Stock, that transaction will be accounted for similar to a sale of shares of Common Stock for cash. During September 2018 Valour elected to exchange its interest for stock and accordingly we issued 160,000 shares of our Common Shares to Valour.

On March 13, 2017, we entered into a third amendment (the “Third Miles Amendment”) to the Senior Advisor Agreement with Brad Miles, dated January 22, 2013 (the “Initial Miles Agreement”), as previously amended on February 24, 2015 (the “First Miles Amendment”) and March 19, 2015 (the “Second Miles Amendment” and, together with the Initial Miles Agreement, the First Miles Amendment and the Third Miles Amendment, the “Miles Agreement”). As provided by the Third Miles Amendment, and in consideration for Mr. Miles’ continued service to us as an advisor through December 31, 2017, we: (i) paid Mr. Miles $107.8 thousand in cash and issued Mr. Miles 1,875 shares of Common Stock; (ii) granted to Mr. Miles the right to receive, subject to adjustment under the Third Miles Amendment, 1.25% of the Net Profit (as defined by the Third Miles Amendment) generated from the Product (as defined by the Third Miles Amendment) from the Effective Date (as defined by the Third Miles Amendment) (which amounts shall be paid quarterly per the terms of the Third Amendment), and, in the event of a Divestiture (as defined by the Third Miles Amendment), 1.25% of the net proceeds of such sale, subject to adjustments and, in the event of sale of the Company, the Fair Market Value (as defined by the Third Miles Amendment) of the Product; (iii) will pay Mr. Miles $17 thousand per calendar quarter during 2017; and (iv) granted to Mr. Miles a warrant to purchase 45,000 shares of our Common Stock (the “Miles Warrant”). The Miles Warrant, which is fully vested on the date of grant, has an exercise price of $10.00, an expiration date of three years from the date of grant and may be exercised solely by payment of cash.


28



On June 1, 2017 (the “Welmers Effective Date”), we entered into an amendment to the Welmers Agreement with Welmers to provide for our right to buyback the 1.5% interest from Welmers. As provided under the Welmers Amendment, from June 1, 2017 until May 27, 2019, Welmers granted us the right to buyback all or any portion of the interest at the price of $300 thousand for the full 1.5% interest (the “Welmers Interest Buyback Amount”); provided, that in the event we exercise this right within 3.25 years of the date of the investment, we will pay Welmers 1.8 times the Welmers Interest Buyback Amount; provided, further, that in the event we exercise this right after 3.25 years of the date of the Investment and on or prior to May 27, 2019, we will pay Welmers 3.15 times the Welmers Interest Buyback Amount. In consideration for Welmers entering into the Welmers Amendment, we paid Welmers $30 thousand. Furthermore, we granted Welmers the right to receive 0.375% of the Net Profit (as defined in the Welmers Agreement) generated from DAVINCI (as defined in the Welmers Amendment) (the “DAVINCI Interest”). In the event that we are sold, Welmers will receive 0.375% of the net proceeds of such sale, after the deduction of all expenses and costs related to such sale. Additionally, from the Welmers Effective Date until June 1, 2021, Welmers granted us the right to buyback all or any portion of the DAVINCI Interest at the price of $56.25 thousand for the full 0.375% DAVINCI Interest (the “Welmers DAVINCI Interest Buyback Amount”); provided, that in the event we exercise this right within 2.5 years of the Welmers Effective Date, we will pay Welmers two times the Welmers DAVINCI Interest Buyback Amount; provided, further, that, in the event we exercise this right after 2.5 years of the Welmers Effective Date and on or prior to June 1, 2021, we will pay Welmers 3.5 times the Welmers DAVINCI Interest Buyback Amount. Furthermore, upon our receipt after the Welmers Effective Date of at least $3.0 million from (i) SWK pursuant to the SWK Agreement, and/or (ii) Adapt pursuant to the License Agreement, fifty percent of all actual amounts received by us from SWK shall be used in determining the Net Profit.

Royalty Payable

As summarized above, we agreed to provide investors with interest in the OORT Net Profit generated from our OORT Product in perpetuity. As of December 31, 2017, we determined an OORT Net Profit as a result of NARCAN sales reported by Adapt. As of September 30, 2018, we had a royalty payable of $0.8 million to all Net Profit Partners. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we paid $1,145 thousand to certain OORT Net Profit investors based on net milestone and royalty payments of $10.8 million received from Adapt during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

PART II— OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.            Legal Proceedings.
On February 27, 2018, the Company and Adapt received notice from Teva, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(j)(2)(B)(ii) (the “February 2018 Notice Letter”), that Teva had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") with the FDA seeking regulatory approval to market a generic version of NARCAN 2 mg/spray Nasal Spray before the expiration of the ‘644 patent and the ‘226 patent. The ‘644 and ‘226 patents are listed with respect to Adapt’s New Drug Application No. 208411 for NARCAN 2 mg/spray Nasal Spray in the FDA’s Orange Book and each patent expires on March 16, 2035. The Company is the record owner of the ‘644 patent and the Company and Adapt are joint record owners of the ‘226 patent. Teva’s Notice Letter asserts that the commercial manufacture, use or sale of its generic drug product described in its ANDA will not infringe the ‘644 patent or the ‘226 patent, or that the ‘644 patent and ‘226 patent are invalid or unenforceable. On April 9, 2018, the Plaintiffs filed a complaint for patent infringement against Teva in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Teva USA's filing of the Teva ANDA with the FDA with respect to the '644 and '226 patents.
In the complaints described above, the Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, an order that the effective date of FDA approval of the Teva ANDA be a date not earlier than the expiration of the applicable patent, as well as equitable relief enjoining Teva from making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing the product that is the subject of the Teva ANDA until after the expiration of the applicable patent, and monetary relief as a result of any such infringement.
On September 14, 2018, the Company and Adapt Pharma, Inc. (“Adapt”) received notice from Perrigo UK FINCO Limited Partnership (“Perrigo”), pursuant to 21 U.S.C. ß 355(j)(2)(B)(ii) (the “Notice Letter”), that Perrigo had filed an ANDA with the FDA seeking regulatory approval to market a generic version of NARCAN® (naloxone hydrochloride) Nasal Spray before the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,211,253 (the “‘253 Patent” ), 9,468,747 (the “‘747 Patent” ), 9,561,177 (the “‘177 Patent” ), 9,629,965 (the “‘965 Patent” ) and 9,775,838 (the “‘838 Patent” ). The ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents are listed with respect to NARCAN® in the FDA's Orange Book and expires on March 16, 2035. Perrigo's Notice Letter asserts that its generic product will not infringe the ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents or that the ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents are invalid or unenforceable. Pursuant to an Exclusive License Agreement, entered into on December 14, 2014, as amended, the Company has exclusively licensed the ‘253, ‘747, ‘177, ‘965 and ‘838 patents to Adapt.
On October 25, 2018, Emergent BioSolutions’ Adapt subsidiaries and Opiant (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against Perrigo in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Perrigo’s ANDA filing with the FDA. As a result of timely filing the lawsuit in accordance with the Hatch-Waxman Act, a 30-month stay of approval will be imposed by the FDA on Perrigo’s ANDA, which is expected to remain in effect until March 2021 absent an earlier judgment, unfavorable to the Plaintiffs, by the Court. The Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, an order that the effective date of FDA approval of the ANDA be a date no earlier than the expiration of each of the Patents-In-Suit, as well as equitable relief enjoining Perrigo from infringing these patents, and monetary relief as a result of any such infringement. Emergent BioSolution Inc. continues to vigorously enforce the intellectual property portfolio related to NARCAN ® Nasal Spray.
Except for above and the litigation described under the section Legal Proceedings in the Company's 10-KT filed on March 13, 2018, which had no update during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company is currently not involved in any litigation that the Company believes could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or other body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, the Company’s Common Stock, any of the Company’s subsidiaries or the Company’s or the Company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A.        Risk Factors.

We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-KT, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). With the exception of the risk factors listed below, there are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-KT with respect to the Risk Factors. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to our stock.

Some of our programs are partially supported by government grant awards, which may not be available to us in the future.

We have received funding under grant award programs funded by governmental agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). To fund a portion of our future research and development programs, we may apply for additional grant funding from such or similar governmental agencies. However, funding by these

31



governmental agencies may be significantly reduced or eliminated in the future for a number of reasons. For example, some programs are subject to a yearly appropriations process in Congress. In addition, we may not receive full funding under current or future grants because of budgeting constraints of the agency administering the program or unsatisfactory progress on the study being funded. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will receive any future grant funding from any government agencies, or, that if received, we will receive the full amount of the particular grant award. Any such reductions could delay the development of our product candidates and the introduction of new products.

Our product pipeline includes pre-clinical product candidates, such as a vaccine for heroin addiction. We may not be successful in completing the pre-clinical work required for these product candidates, the clinical trials necessary for obtaining market approval, or being able to commercially launch these product candidates.

In October 2016, we licensed a vaccine to treat heroin addiction from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research ("WRAIR"). This is an early stage asset and requires significant additional pre-clinical research and development before human testing may be initiated. We plan to work closely with scientists at WRAIR in order to advance the program into the clinic and determine if this vaccine is safe and effective in a patient population. As a result, we may be unable to obtain sufficient pre-clinical data to apply for, or gain, the requisite authorizations to commence human clinical testing on either this asset or other pre-clinical assets we may pursue. However, even if we are successful moving a pre-clinical program into humans, the ultimate success of any development program is uncertain. If we obtain positive clinical data for either this or other pre-clinical assets we may develop, there will be a significant time lag before the asset gains regulatory approval or commercialization may begin, if ever.

The expiration or loss of patent protection may adversely affect our future revenues and operating earnings.

We rely on patent, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property protection in the discovery, development, manufacturing and sale of our products and product candidates. In particular, patent protection is important in the development and eventual commercialization of our products and product candidates. Patents covering our products and product candidates normally provide market exclusivity, which is important in order for our products and product candidates to become profitable. Certain of our patents will expire in the next 17 years. While we are seeking additional patent coverage which may protect the technology underlying these patents, there can be no assurances that such additional patent protection will be granted, or if granted, that these patents will not be infringed upon or otherwise held enforceable. Even if we are successful in obtaining a patent, patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, the natural expiration of a utility patent typically is generally 20 years after it is filed. Various extensions may be available; however, the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Without patent protection, our products and product candidates, we may be open to competition from generic versions of such methods and devices. In July 2018, Teva obtained tentative regulatory approval from the FDA to market a generic version of NARCAN pending the outcome of the current ongoing litigation that we have with Teva on our NARCAN patents.
We may not succeed in completing the development of our product candidates, commercializing our products, and generating significant revenues.
Our pipeline includes a treatment for OOR, a treatment for BN, a treatment for AUD, treatments for OUD, and additional treatment applications. Our products have generated limited revenues. Our ability to generate significant revenues and achieve profitability depends on our ability to successfully complete the development of our product candidates, obtain market approval, successfully launch our products and generate significant revenues. On December 15, 2014, we and Adapt entered into the Adapt Agreement, as amended by the Adapt Amendment entered into between the parties on December 13, 2016, that provides Adapt with a global license to develop and commercialize our intranasal naloxone Opioid Overdose Reversal Treatment Product, now known as NARCAN. The loss for any reason of Adapt as a key partner could have a significant and adverse impact on our business. If we are unable to retain Adapt as a partner on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to commercialize NARCAN as planned and we may experience delays in or suspension of the marketing of NARCAN.
 
The future success of our business cannot be determined at this time, and we do not anticipate generating significant revenues from product sales for the foreseeable future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we expect to generate revenues from NARCAN, for which we are dependent on many factors, including the performance of our licensing partner Adapt and competition in the market. In addition, we have no experience in commercializing on our own and face a number of challenges with respect to commercialization efforts, including, among other challenges:

having inadequate financial or other resources to complete the development of our product candidates;
competition in the market from new competitive drugs or generic drugs, including a generic drug that could be marketed by Teva, for which it recently received approval from the FDA;

32



the inability to manufacture our products in commercial quantities, at an adequate quality, at an acceptable cost or in collaboration with third parties;
experiencing delays or unplanned expenditures in product development, clinical testing or manufacturing;
the inability to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution channels;
healthcare professionals and patients may not accept our treatments;
we may not be aware of possible complications from the continued use of our products since we have limited clinical experience with respect to the actual use of our products;
technological breakthroughs in reversing opioid overdoses and treating patients with BN, AUD, and OUD may reduce the demand for our products;
changes in the market for reversing opioid overdoses and treating patients with BN, AUD, and OUD, new alliances between existing market participants and the entrance of new market participants may interfere with our market penetration efforts;
third-party payors may not agree to reimburse patients for any or all of the purchase price of our products, which may adversely affect patients’ willingness to purchase our products;
uncertainty as to market demand may result in inefficient pricing of our products;
we may face third party claims of intellectual property infringement;
we may fail to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals for our products in our markets or may face adverse regulatory or legal actions relating to our products even if regulatory approval is obtained; and
we are dependent upon the results of clinical studies relating to our products and the products of our competitors. If data from a clinical trial is unfavorable, we would be reluctant to advance the specific product for the indication for which it was being developed.

If we are unable to meet any one or more of these challenges successfully, our ability to effectively commercialize our products could be limited, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Under our agreement with Adapt Pharma Operations Limited ("Adapt"), Adapt has the right to license third-party intellectual property which may result in a reduction of our potential royalty and milestone payments.

Under our license agreement, as amended, with Adapt (the "Adapt Agreement"), Adapt may seek to license certain intellectual property held by a third-party that Adapt reasonably determines would be infringed upon through the performance of the Adapt Agreement or that Adapt otherwise determines is necessary or desirable for Adapt to perform its obligations under the Adapt Agreement. Adapt may deduct a material amount, as provided in the Adapt agreement, of any upfront payment, milestones or royalties paid to such third-party from any regulatory milestone payments, sales-based milestone payments, and royalty payments payable to us under the Adapt Agreement. In accordance with the Adapt Agreement, Adapt may enter into such a licensing arrangement and exercise its right to deduct any payments with respect thereto at any time without the consent of us. On February 28, 2018, we were notified that Adapt had entered into a license agreement with a Third Party with regard to one or more patents pursuant to which Adapt invoked its right under Section 5.5 of the Adapt Agreement to offset 50%, or $6,250,000, of the payment paid to such Third Party from the amounts payable by Adapt to us under the License Agreement and SWK under the SWK Purchase Agreement. Under the Adapt Agreement, we do not have a contractual right to see the Third Party agreement that Adapt has executed. As such, we cannot determine whether additional payments will be required or the magnitude of those payments under the license agreement with the Third Party.

Our employment agreements with our named executive officers may require us to pay severance benefits to any of those persons who are terminated in connection with a change in control of us which could harm our financial condition or results.

Certain of our executive officers are parties to employment agreements that contain change in control and severance provisions providing for aggregate cash payments of up to approximately $3.5 million for severance and other benefits and acceleration of vesting of stock options with a value of approximately $6.5 million, in the event of a termination of employment in connection with a change of control of us. The accelerated vesting of options could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and harm the market price of our Common Stock. The payment of these severance benefits could harm our financial conditions and results. In addition, these potential severance payments may discourage or prevent third parties from seeking a business combination with us.

Item 2.           Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.    
On April 19, 2018, the Company issued 37,866 shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the LOI dated November 19, 2015 (see Note 9 - Commitments). The Company received no proceeds from the issuance of these shares.
On September 5, 2018, the Company issued 160,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Valour Fund, LLC, as a result of Valour's exercise of its option to change its interest in certain product revenues for Common Stock of the Company (see Note 6 - Deferred Revenue).
Use of Proceeds
On September 27, 2018, the Company completed a registered public offering with Cantor Fitzgerald as underwriter and sold 811,764 shares its Common stock (including 105,882 shares purchased by Cantor Fitzgerald upon the exercise in full of its right to purchase up to an additional 105,882 shares to cover over-allotments) at a price of $17.00 per share.  The Company received approximately $13.0 million of net proceeds from the offering after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses. No payments for such expenses were made directly or indirectly to any of the Company’s officers or directors, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities, or to any of the Company’s affiliates.
The shares of Common Stock were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-220976), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2017, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement, dated September 24, 2018, and a final prospectus supplement, dated September 25, 2018, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
