ALLIQUA BIOMEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Alliqua BioMedical, Inc. (the “Company”) is a provider of advanced wound care solutions. The Company’s primary business strategy is to create superior outcomes for patients, providers, and partners through its hydrogel technology platform and licensed and proprietary products.  The Company’s core businesses include advanced wound care and contract manufacturing. The Company seeks to leverage its proprietary hydrogel and licensed technology platform to add value to its own products and those of its partners.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2015 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the Company’s latest year-end financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Annual Report”).  The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AquaMed Technologies, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations as previously reported.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2014 Annual Report. Since the date of the 2014 Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.   These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities and derivative financial instruments issued in financing transactions, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, and the fair values of long lived assets, intangibles, goodwill and contingent consideration. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11,” Inventory (Topic 330) Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). Currently, all inventory is measured at the lower of cost or market. ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which for the Company will commence with the year beginning January 1, 2016. Prospective application is required. The Company does not believe the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as deferred charge assets, separate from the related debt liability. The Company early-adopted ASU 2015-03 during the three months ended June 30, 2015, and applied its provisions retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard entitled “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” under Accounting Standards Update 2014-09.  The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for the Company will commence with the year beginning January 1, 2018.  Earlier application is not permitted.  Entities must adopt the new guidance using one of two retrospective application methods. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of its adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, “Compensation — Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”).  ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting of share-based payments and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting and as such, should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award.  ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  This standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Common stock equivalents, consisting of stock options, warrants and non-vested restricted stock, were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The total common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants and non-vested restricted stock are as follows:

Acquisition of Celleration, Inc.

On May 29, 2015, the Company acquired all outstanding equity interest of Celleration, Inc. (“Celleration”), a medical device company focused on developing and commercializing the MIST Therapy® therapeutic ultrasound platform for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $46.3 million. The purchase price consists of an initial cash payment of approximately $15.5 million (including working capital adjustments of approximately $0.3 million), 3,168,229 shares of the Company’s common stock and contingent consideration with an estimated acquisition date fair value of approximately $15,570,000.

The Company has agreed to pay contingent consideration of three and one half times revenue from acquired MIST Therapy products in excess of certain revenue targets for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015 and 2016, payable in equal amounts of cash and the Company’s common stock. This contingent consideration is payable in two installments in March 2016 and March 2017. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay contingent consideration subject to the approval of MIST Therapy products by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (“NICE”) of the United Kingdom prior to January 1, 2017. This consideration consists of $500,000 of the Company’s common stock upon receipt of such approval and 20% of incremental net sales in the United Kingdom from the acquired MIST Therapy products for the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018. The estimated fair value of this liability is based on future sale projections of the MIST Therapy product and probability of receiving NICE approval. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement. The contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved, and those changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, the adjustments resulted in a net increase of approximately $469,000 and $623,000, respectively, to the Company’s acquisition-related contingent consideration liability and corresponding increase in operating expenses. As of September 30, 2015, the current and long-term portion of the contingent consideration was $5,751,688 and $10,441,457, respectively.

The assets and liabilities of the acquired business were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet based upon estimated fair values on the date of acquisition as determined in a preliminary purchase price allocation, using available information and making assumptions management believes are reasonable. The Company is still in the process of completing its valuation of the assets, both tangible and intangible, and liabilities acquired. The condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of the Celleration’s operations subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company’s preliminary allocation of purchase price for this acquisition is included in the table below, which summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The Company recorded intangible assets of approximately $32.0 million, which included technology of $27.1 million and customer relationships of $1.2 million, which are both amortizable over ten years, as well as tradenames of $3.6 million, which has an indefinite life. The Company recorded approximately $16.7 million of goodwill in connection with this acquisition, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company funded the cash portion and related costs of the Celleration acquisition with the net proceeds received under the senior secured term loan described below in Note 7- Debt.

Revenues included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 from this acquisition for the period subsequent to the closing of the transaction was approximately $2,739,000 and $3,589,000, respectively. The net income or loss attributable to this acquisition cannot be identified on a stand-alone basis because it has been fully integrated into the Company's operations.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs related to Celleration of approximately $15,000 and $2,875,000, respectively, in connection with due diligence, professional fees, and other expenses.

Acquisition of Choice Therapeutics, Inc.

On May 5, 2014, the Company acquired all outstanding equity interest of Choice Therapeutics, Inc., a provider of innovative wound care products using proprietary TheraBond 3D® Antimicrobial Barrier Systems. The Company’s initial cash payment for this acquisition was $2.0 million and approximately $2.0 million in shares of common stock. In addition, the Company may pay up to $5.0 million, payable in the form of the Company’s common stock, in contingent consideration which may be earned based upon the acquired company achieving specific performance metrics over the three twelve month periods, ended April 30, 2017. The fair value of this liability was based on future sales projections of the TheraBond 3D® product under various potential scenarios. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represented a Level 3 measurement. The contingent consideration is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved, and those changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, the adjustments resulted in a net increase of approximately $116,000 and $335,000, respectively, to the Company’s acquisition-related contingent consideration liability and corresponding increase in operating expenses.

Pro Forma Results

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, as if the acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2014. The pro forma results were calculated applying the Company’s accounting policies and include the effects of adjustments related to the amortization charges from the acquired intangibles and long-term debt. The unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the acquisitions had actually occurred at the beginning of the year prior to acquisition, nor of the results that may be reported in the future.

Inventory consists of the following:

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of intangible assets are as follows:

Amortization expense attributable to intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $889,362 and $232,670, respectively. Amortization expense attributable to intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1,556,237 and $529,847, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 is expected to be $2,445,598, $3,557,446, $3,532,779, $3,518,804, and $3,169,256, respectively.

Accrued expenses consist of the following:

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

On May 29, 2015, simultaneously with and related to the closing of the Celleration acquisition, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Credit Agreement”) with Perceptive Credit Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“Perceptive”). The Credit Agreement provided a senior secured term loan in a single borrowing to the Company in the principal amount of $15.5 million. The Credit Agreement (i) has a four year term, (ii) accrues interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) one-month LIBOR or 1% plus (b) 9.75%, (iii) is interest only for the first 24 months, followed by monthly amortization payments of $225,000, with the remaining unpaid balance due on the maturity date and (iv) is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $1,256,125 of debt issuance costs, which includes legal expenses and the loan commitment, placement and exit fee, discussed below. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded amortization of debt issuance costs of $72,258 and $98,427, respectively, which is included in interest expense.

In connection with the entry into the Credit Agreement, a five-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share at an exercise price of $5.5138 per share (the “Exercise Price”) was issued to Perceptive. The Company granted Perceptive customary demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The warrant contains a weighted average anti-dilution feature whereby the Exercise Price is subject to reduction if the Company issues shares of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) in the future at a price below the current Exercise Price. As a result, the warrant was determined to be a derivative liability. The warrant had an issuance date fair value of $2,682,710 which was recorded as a debt discount. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $168,932 and $227,691, respectively, which is included in interest expense. See Note 13 – Fair Value Measurement for additional details.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the term loan with 100% of the net cash proceeds received from specified asset sales, issuances or sales of equity and incurrences of borrowed money indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Company may voluntarily prepay the term loan upon five days prior written notice to Perceptive. The Company will incur an incremental fee for any repayments or prepayments other than the required monthly principal payments made prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company is required to pay an exit fee when the term loan is paid in full equal to the greater of 1% of the outstanding principal balance immediately prior to the final payment and $100,000.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for a secured financing arrangement, including limitations on additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales and acquisitions, among others. In addition to other customary events of default, any termination of that certain License, Marketing and Development Agreement between the Company and CCT, as amended, will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

Debt consists of the following:

License Agreement

On July 15, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement with Noble Fiber Technologies, LLC, whereby the Company has the exclusive right and license to manufacture and distribute “SilverSeal Hydrogel Wound Dressings” and “SilverSeal Hydrocolloid Wound Dressings”. The license is granted for ten years with an option to be extended for consecutive renewal periods of two years after the initial term. Royalties are to be paid equal to 9.75% of net sales of licensed products. The agreement calls for minimum royalties to be paid each calendar year as follows: 2015 - $500,000 and 2016 - $600,000. Total royalties charged to selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $125,000 and $100,000, respectively. Total royalties charged to selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $375,000 and $300,000, respectively. $810 is included in accounts payable and $372,275 is included in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2015 in connection with this agreement. The Company expects to incur the minimum royalty in 2015 and 2016.

Sorbion Distributor Agreement

In September 2013, the Company entered into a distributor agreement (the “Sorbion Agreement”) with Sorbion GmbH & Co KG, pursuant to which the Company became the exclusive distributor of sorbion sachet S, sorbion sana and new products with hydrokinetic fibers as primary dressings in the United States, Canada and Latin America, subject to certain exceptions. The term of the agreement ends on December 31, 2018. Sorbion assigned its rights and obligations of the Sorbion Agreement to BSN Medical, Inc. (“BSN”), an affiliate of Sorbion, in June 2015. In July 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Sorbion Agreement with BSN to provide for pricing in U.S. Dollars instead of Euros.

In order to maintain its exclusivity, the Company must purchase minimum amounts of product. The minimum annual purchase amount for the 2015 calendar year is $1,100,000. The Company has met the minimum purchase amount requirement for 2015. For calendar years 2016 and 2017, the minimum annual purchase amounts noted below will be converted from Euros to U.S. Dollars with the exchange rate in effect on the last day of the preceding calendar year, provided that the exchange rate is not more than five percent greater or less than the exchange rate from Euros to U.S. Dollars of 1.10. If the exchange rate is five percent greater or less than 1.10, the rate will be rounded as necessary so that it is no more than five percent greater or five percent less.

If the Company fails to purchase products in amounts that meet or exceed the minimum annual purchase amount for a calendar year, it may cure such minimum purchase failure by paying BSN in cash an amount equal to the minimum annual purchase amount for such calendar year less the amount the Company paid to BSN for the products purchased for such calendar year.  If the Company does not cure a minimum purchase failure with a makeup payment for a calendar year, BSN may terminate the Company’s exclusivity with respect to the products and grant the Company non-exclusive rights with respect to the products.  If the Company does not cure a minimum purchase failure for two subsequent calendar years, BSN may terminate the agreement.  The Company will not be required to meet the minimal annual purchase amount if BSN fails to supply the Company with the products in accordance with the agreement.  BSN may also terminate the Company’s exclusivity with respect to the products if the Company does not cure a material breach of the agreement within 30 days. The Company has the right to use the trademarks related to the products. The Company has the ability to sell the products under their respective trademarked names and at prices determined by the Company.   The Company is eligible for certain discounts with respect to the purchase and shipping of the products if its orders of the products are above certain amounts.

Celgene License, Marketing and Development and Supply Agreement

In November 2013, the Company entered into a License, Marketing and Development Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Anthrogenesis Corporation, d/b/a Celgene Cellular Therapeutics (“CCT”), an affiliate of Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”), pursuant to which CCT granted the Company an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in its intellectual property for certain placental based products, including ECM, an extracellularmatrix derived from the human placenta, and Biovance®, CCT’s proprietary wound coverings produced from decellularized, dehydrated human amniotic membrane, to develop and commercialize ECM and Biovance in the United States. Following the commencement of commercial sales of the licensed products, the Company will pay CCT annual license fees, designated amounts when certain milestone events occur and royalties on all sales of licensed products, with such amounts being variable and contingent on various factors. The initial term of the License Agreement ends on November 14, 2023, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the termination rights under the License Agreement, and will extend for additional two-year terms unless either party gives written notice within a specified period prior to the end of a term. The License Agreement may be terminated (i) by CCT if the Company or any of its affiliates challenges the validity, enforceability or scope of certain enumerated CCT patents anywhere in the world; (ii) by either party if there is a final decree that a licensed product infringed on the intellectual property of a third party; (iii) by either party for breach of the License Agreement, if the breach is not cured within a specified period after receiving written notice of the breach; or (iv) by either party if the other party is the subject of insolvency proceedings, either voluntary or involuntary. In addition, the License Agreement is terminable on a product-by-product basis, and not with respect to the entire License Agreement (i) by CCT in the second year of the License Agreement, and by either CCT or the Company in the third year of the License Agreement and beyond, if the Company fails to meet certain sales thresholds and (ii) by either party upon written notice if outside legal counsel recommends discontinuance of commercialization of a product because of significant safety, legal, or economic risk as a result of a claim, demand or action or as a result of a change in the interpretation of law by a governmental or regulatory authority. The License Agreement also contains mutual confidentiality and indemnification obligations for the Company and CCT. In September 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the License Agreement (the “Amended License Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company received the right to market Biovance for podiatric and orthopedic applications. The Amended License Agreement also amends certain terms and the related schedule for milestone payments to CCT. In May 2015, the Company amended its exclusive licensing agreement with CCT, which granted the Company the right to develop and market CCT’s connective tissue matrix product (“CTM”).

In November 2013, the Company also entered into a Supply Agreement (the “Biovance Supply Agreement”) with CCT, pursuant to which CCT shall supply the Company with the Company’s entire requirements of Biovance for distribution and sale in the United States. The Biovance Supply Agreement will be terminated automatically upon the termination of the License Agreement and may otherwise be terminated (i) by CCT upon six months’ prior written notice, (ii) by the Company upon six months’ prior written notice if CCT fails to deliver at least a specified portion of a firm purchase order by the required delivery date specified in the order on at least a specified number of occasions in a specified period; (iii) by either party for breach of the Biovance Supply Agreement, if the breach is not cured within a specified period after receiving written notice of the breach; or (iv) by either party if the other party is the subject of insolvency proceedings, either voluntary or involuntary. On April 10, 2014, the Company and CCT entered into an amendment to the Biovance Supply Agreement in order to amend the pricing schedule.

In April 2014, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement (the “ECM Supply Agreement”) with CCT, pursuant to which CCT shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that CCT obtains regulatory clearance or approval in the United States for any of CCT’s extracellular matrix products derived from the human placenta (each an “ECM”), supply and sell to the Company all of the Company’s requirements of ECM, in finished form and final packaging, for exploitation in the United States under the License Agreement. The ECM Supply Agreement will automatically terminate upon the termination or expiration of the License Agreement and may otherwise be terminated (i) by CCT upon six months’ prior written notice, (ii) by the Company upon six months’ prior written notice if CCT fails to deliver at least a specified portion of a firm purchase order by the required delivery date specified in the order on at least a specified number of occasions in a specified period; (iii) by either party for breach of the ECM Supply Agreement, if the breach is not cured within a specified period after receiving written notice of the breach; or (iv) by either party if the other party is the subject of insolvency proceedings, either voluntary or involuntary. The ECM Supply Agreement also contains mutual confidentiality and indemnification obligations for the Company and CCT.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, ten-year options to purchase an aggregate of 1,806,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $4.06 to $6.23 with an aggregate grant date value of $7,711,629 were granted to employees. Options to purchase an aggregate of 1,719,000 and 87,000 shares of common stock were granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan and 2011 Plan, respectively. The options vest as follows: (i) options to purchase 4,500 shares vested immediately, (ii) options to purchase 90,000 shares vest one-twelfth monthly over one year, and (iii) options to purchase 1,711,500 shares vest ratably over three years on the anniversaries of the grant date. The grant date value is being amortized over the vesting term.

Options – Summary Data

In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to stock options granted, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate is based on rates of treasury securities with the same expected term as the options. The Company uses the "simplified method" to calculate the expected term of employee and director stock-based options. The expected term used for consultants is the contractual life. The Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the Company’s historical volatility, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued. The expected dividend yield is based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the near future.

Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to options at annual rates ranging from 0% to 5% for options outstanding at September 30, 2015.

The weighted average estimated fair value per share of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.78 and $4.27, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value per share of the options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $4.29 and $6.21, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 75,919 shares of common stock to several holders of options who elected to exercise options to purchase an aggregate of 75,919 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $332,271. The options had an exercise price of $4.38 per share. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options exercised was $85,798 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, there was $7,202,954 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options which will be amortized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years, of which $5,132 is subject to non-employee mark-to-market adjustments.

A summary of the stock option activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is presented below:

The following table presents information related to stock options at September 30, 2015:

The Company acquired all the outstanding equity interest of Celleration on May 29, 2015. The Company’s preliminary allocation of purchase price for this acquisition is included in Note 3 – Acquisitions, and includes an approximately $2.8 million deferred tax liability related to the acquired identifiable intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million related to the release of pre-existing valuation allowances attributable to the recording of this deferred tax liability, which the Company determined could be partially used as a source of taxable income to support the realization of previously existing deferred tax assets. The remaining approximately $1.4 million deferred tax liability recorded with the acquisition of Celleration remains on the Company’s balance sheet, and is attributable to the acquired tradenames, which are indefinite-lived assets. Deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived assets generally cannot be used as a source of taxable income to support the realization of deferred tax assets.

The Company has entered into several agreements with CCT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celgene Corporation, as described in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies. Celgene is an affiliate of the Company. Two executives of Celgene are on the Company’s board of directors, one of whom is the chief executive officer of CCT. On May 6, 2015, the Company amended its exclusive licensing agreement with CCT, which granted the Company the right to develop and market CCT’s connective tissue matrix product (“CTM”).

On January 6, 2014, the Company entered into an option cancellation and release agreement with two former directors, pursuant to which each of the parties agreed to cancel options previously granted to purchase 278,096 shares of common stock of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $6.34 to $9.19.  In exchange for the cancellation of the options, the Company granted each individual 194,667 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The incremental expense for the exchange was $98,915 and is included in stock-based compensation in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and accounts receivable as of September 30, 2015 from the Company’s largest customer, a contract manufacturing customer, was as follows:

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 from the Company’s largest customer, a contract manufacturing customer, was as follows:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon selling an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability on the measurement date. It focuses on the exit price in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are as follows:

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

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 9,142 shares of common stock which had been accounted for as a derivative liability was exercised. These warrants had an aggregate exercise date fair value of $31,498 which was credited to equity. The Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of these warrants of $0 and $3,914 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The Company recomputed the fair value of these warrants using the Binomial option pricing model (Level 3 inputs) using the following assumptions: expected volatility of 98.25%, risk-free rate of 0.96%, expected term of 2.52 years, and expected dividends of 0.00%.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, in connection with the Credit Agreement, a five-year warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.5138 per share was issued to Perceptive. See Note 7 – Debt for details associated with the Warrant. The issuance date fair value of $2,682,710 was computed using the Binomial option pricing model (Level 3 inputs) using the following assumptions: expected volatility of 98.25%, risk-free rate of 1.49%, expected term of 5.00 years, and expected dividends of 0.00%.

On September 30, 2015, the Company recomputed the fair value of its warrant liability of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 816,287 shares of common stock as $1,567,364 using the Binomial option pricing model (Level 3 inputs) using the following assumptions: expected volatility of 93.70%, risk-free rate of 1.37-0.64%, expected term of 4.67-2.11 years, and expected dividends of 0.00%. The Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of these warrant liabilities of $1,466,208 and $1,384,157 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of Level 3 warrant liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis are as follows:

Warrants that contain exercise reset provisions and contingent consideration liabilities are Level 3 derivative liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using pricing models for which at least one significant assumption is unobservable as defined in ASC 820. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities that was classified as Level 3 in the table above was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820. The significant inputs in the Level 3 measurement not supported by market activity include the probability assessments of expected future cash flows related to the acquisitions, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and as calculated in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreements. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and the fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s chief financial officer and are approved by the chief executive officer.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014

Overview. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had a net loss of $7,132,664 and $5,103,443, respectively. Included in the net loss for three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was non-cash stock-based compensation of $2,257,367 and $1,842,465, respectively. We expect our future growth to consist of both organic and acquisition growth from product sales.

Revenues, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2015 revenues increased by $3,519,995, or 236%, to $5,013,835 from $1,493,840 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.   The increase in our overall revenue was primarily due to increase in product sales.

The components of revenue were as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Our growth rates for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

*2015 organic revenue growth represents growth from contract manufacturing and sales of our hydrogel, sorbion, TheraBond, and Biovance products. 2014 organic revenue growth represents growth from contract manufacturing and sales of our hydrogel, sorbion, and Biovance products.

**2015 acquisition revenue growth represents growth from the sale of the MIST Therapy line acquired in the purchase of Celleration in May 2015. 2014 acquisition growth represents growth from the sale of the TheraBond product line acquired in the purchase of Choice Therapeutics in May 2014.

Gross profit. Our gross profit was $3,352,790 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to gross profit of $578,029 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The improved results for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 2014 was primarily due to the greater volume of product sales as product revenue typically commands higher gross profit margins. Gross margin on our product sales was approximately 80%, while our overall gross margin was approximately 67% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Gross margin on our product sales was approximately 69%, while our overall gross margin was approximately 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. We expect our gross profit to continue to increase as a result of products sales becoming a higher proportion of our total sales.

The components of cost of revenues are as follows for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table highlights selling, general and administrative expenses by type for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4,895,607, to $10,375,987 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $5,480,380 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Compensation and benefits increased by $2,156,635, to $3,890,276 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $1,733,641 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in compensation and benefits was primarily due to the increase in the number of full-time employees from 44 at September 30, 2014 to 89 at September 30, 2015.

Marketing expenses increased by $441,970 to $644,283 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $202,313 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to increased efforts to market our proprietary and licensed products through tradeshows, sample products, market research, marketing materials and the addition of the MIST Therapy product line.

Royalty expenses increased by $62,424 to $176,511 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $114,087 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the scheduled increase in minimum royalties for the exclusive right and license to manufacture and distribute SilverSeal products. The minimum royalty due for the year ended December 31, 2015 is $500,000 compared to $400,000 due for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The increase in other selling, general and administrative expense is primarily in support of our revenue growth. Other selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs associated with our selling efforts and general management, including consulting, recruiting, information technology, travel, training and professional fees such as legal and accounting expenses.

Research and product development expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred research and product development expenses of $192,243 related to a randomized controlled trial for our Biovance product in chronic diabetic foot wounds. We expect our research and product development costs to increase over the next few quarters as the controlled trial progresses.

Acquisition-related expenses. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we incurred acquisition-related costs of $15,000 in connection with due diligence, professional fees, and other expenses related to the acquisition of Celleration, compared to $61,330 related to the acquisition of Choice Therapeutics during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Income tax benefit. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $128,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $30,731,728 compared to $16,770,879 at December 31, 2014.  The increase was largely attributable to net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $32,196,540, net proceeds from long-term debt of $14,243,875 offset by cash used in operating activities of $17,162,306 and $14,947,813 used to fund the acquisition of Celleration during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $17,162,306 and $10,179,506 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities included $2.9 million of acquisition-related costs related to our acquisition of Celleration and $1.1 million in connection with the payment of severance to two former Celleration executives, subsequent to the close of the transaction. These severance payments resulted in a decrease in accrued expenses. We have also significantly increased our inventory stocking levels in order to meet an anticipated increase in demand for our products.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15,178,362 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2,306,122 used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to the acquisition of Celleration during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and Choice Therapeutics during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net cash flow generated from financing activities was $46,301,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to cash flow generated from financing activities of $20,272,672 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we received net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $32,196,540 compared to $14,372,503 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 we received net proceeds from long-term debt of $14,243,875. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we received proceeds from stock option and warrant exercises of $6,469,454. This was offset by the payment of withholding taxes related to vesting of certain restricted awards of $569,285.

At September 30, 2015, current assets totaled $37,534,918 and current liabilities totaled $13,283,672, as compared to current assets totaling $19,629,067 and current liabilities totaling $4,129,824 at December 31, 2014. As a result, we had working capital of $24,251,246 at September 30, 2015 compared to working capital of $15,499,243 at December 31, 2014.

Our cash requirements have historically been for mergers and acquisitions, product development, clinical trials, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative costs, capital expenditures and overall working capital. We have experienced negative operating cash flows since inception and have funded our operations primarily from sales of common stock and other securities.

Liquidity Outlook

In 2013, we restructured our senior management team with the goal of maximizing the potential for success in achieving our sales and marketing goals. We have hired new executive officers, various senior sales and marketing executives, and a direct sales force to sell our wound care products. We expect to continue to attend trade shows and seek other avenues to market our products. We continue to focus our efforts on expanding our product offerings. We are seeking complementary products to our current portfolio, in an effort to expand our offerings.

The implementation of our growth strategy will continue to result in an increase in our fixed cost structure. Due to the time delay between outlays for working capital expenditures, such as costs to acquire rights to additional products, merger and acquisition activity, the hiring and training of sales agents and other personnel, pre-launch marketing costs, the purchasing of inventory, and the billing and collection of revenue, we expect negative operating cash flows to continue. The Company has also agreed to pay contingent consideration of three and one half times revenue from acquired MIST Therapy products in excess of certain revenue targets for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015 and 2016, payable in equal amounts of cash and the Company’s common stock. This contingent consideration is payable in two installments in March 2016 and March 2017.

A shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the public offering of the shares of common stock described above was filed with the SEC and was declared effective on September 25, 2014. This registration statement will enable us to offer and sell to the public from time to time in one or more offerings, up to $100,000,000 of common and preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, units or any combination thereof. The terms of any securities offered under the registration statement, and the intended use of the net proceeds resulting therefrom, will be established at the times of the offerings and will be described in prospectus supplements filed with the SEC at the times of the offerings. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital in sufficient amounts and on terms favorable to us.

On May 4, 2015, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 7,582,418 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $4.55 per share. Proceeds from this offering, net of underwriter fees were approximately $32.2 million. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to our shelf registration statement on Form S-3. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund the commercial expansion of its marketed products, to pursue additional product platforms, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

We believe that our cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our current business for at least the next 12 months. However, our future results of operations involve significant risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect our future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, potential demand for our products, unfavorable decisions on product reimbursement, risks from competition, regulatory approval of our new products, technological change, and dependence on key personnel.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements in the nature of guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities (or similar arrangements serving as credit, liquidity or market risk support to unconsolidated entities for any such assets), or obligations (including contingent obligations) arising out of variable interests in unconsolidated entities providing financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2015, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2015.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
