(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its subsidiaries, or the Company or Cumberland, have been prepared on a basis consistent with the December 31, 2011 audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present the information set forth herein. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and omit certain information and footnote disclosure necessary to present the statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the first six months of 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any future period.

Total comprehensive income was comprised solely of net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Accounting Policies:

Use of Estimates

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management must make decisions that impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In reaching such decisions, management applies judgments based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances, historical experience, and other available information. Actual amounts could differ from those estimated at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2012 for accounting and disclosure implications.

(2) MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consist of U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, U.S. Government Agency notes and bonds and bank-guaranteed, variable rate demand notes (VRDN). At the time of purchase, we classify our marketable securities as either trading securities or available-for-sale securities, depending on the intent at that time. As of June 30, 2012, the marketable securities were comprised solely of trading securities. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized as a component of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair values of marketable securities at June 30, 2012 were determined based on valuations provided by a third-party pricing service, as derived from such services’ pricing models, and are considered Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, depending on the nature of the investment. Level 1 valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 valuations are based on observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The level of management judgment required in establishing fair value for Level 1 investments is minimal. Similarly, there is little subjectivity or judgment required for Level 2 investments that are valued using valuation models that are standard across the industry and where all parameter inputs are quoted in active markets. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our marketable securities, by type, as of June 30, 2012 based on the categories described above:

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, restricted stock awards and options to purchase 271,256 and 1,149,374 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would be antidilutive.

(4) REVENUES

We operate in one segment, specialty pharmaceutical products. Management has chosen to organize the Company based on the type of products sold. Substantially all of our assets are located in the United States. We had sales of less than $0.1 million to non-U.S. customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and sales of $0.1 million to non-U.S. customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

The Company’s net revenues consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

In the first quarter of 2012, we entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for Acetadote and Caldolor with Harbin Gloria Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a Chinese pharmaceutical company that has expertise in developing, registering, manufacturing and commercializing products in the China market. In connection with the agreement, we received a nonrefundable, up-front payment of $0.7 million in exchange for the transfer of certain intellectual property, including our product dossiers. We also have certain protective rights, including the right to review and approve all documents submitted to the Chinese State Drug Administration. We determined the agreement contains two units of accounting—the transfer of certain rights, including the product dossier, for Acetadote and Caldolor, separately. As of March 31, 2012, we had delivered these items for Caldolor to the licensee, and recognized revenue of approximately $0.5 million as other revenue. The remaining up-front payment of $0.2 million related to Acetadote was recognized during the second quarter of 2012, when the intellectual property, including the dossier, was provided to the licensee.

The licensing agreement provides for us to receive milestone payments of $0.7 million when the licensee receives notice from the regulatory authority granting approval to conduct clinical trials, or stating that no clinical trials are necessary. In addition, we will receive milestone payments of $1.1 million upon receiving regulatory approval for both Acetadote and Caldolor in China. We will recognize revenue for these substantive milestones using the milestone method. We use the milestone method of recognizing revenue for substantive milestones if (1) it is commensurate with either the performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item, (2) it relates solely to past performance and (3) it is reasonable relative to the other milestones. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, we have not recognized any revenue related to milestones associated with Harbin Gloria.

(5) INVENTORIES

We work closely with third parties to manufacture and package finished goods for sale. We take title to the finished goods at the time of shipment from the manufacturer and warehouse such goods until distribution and sale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method.

We continually evaluate inventory for potential losses due to excess, obsolete or slow-moving inventory by comparing sales history and sales projections to the inventory on hand. When evidence indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable, a charge is taken to reduce the inventory to the net realizable value.

During 2009 and 2010, we built inventory in preparation for the Caldolor product launch. Caldolor inventory represented the majority of net inventory on hand at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and has varying expiration dates through January 2015. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we have recognized a reserve for potential obsolescence and discontinuance primarily for Caldolor of approximately $2.1 million. If actual sales in future periods are less than projected sales, we could incur additional obsolescence losses.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we purchased certain packaging materials related to the manufacture of Caldolor. As these materials are consumed as part of the manufacturing process, the costs associated with these materials will be used to offset the finished goods price from the manufacturer.

In connection with the purchase of certain Kristalose assets in 2011, we purchase the active pharmaceutical ingredient for Kristalose, and maintain the inventory at the third-party manufacturer. As the ingredients are consumed in production, the value of the ingredients is transferred from raw materials to finished goods.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, inventory was comprised of the following:

(6) SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

In May 2010, we announced a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $10.0 million of our outstanding common shares pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In April 2012, our Board of Directors modified this plan to provide for additional repurchases up to $10.0 million of our outstanding common shares, in addition to the amounts previously repurchased in 2010 and 2011. In the first six months of 2012, we repurchased 491,123 shares for approximately $3.6 million.

In the second quarter of 2012, we implemented an Option Exchange Program (the “Exchange Program”) whereby certain outstanding stock options could be exchanged for shares of restricted stock. The Exchange Program expired on May 21, 2012, at which time 424,475 outstanding options were exchanged for 147,828 shares of restricted stock. The restrictions on the restricted stock lapse from one to four years. The Exchange Program was designed to provide a value-for-value exchange of equity instruments. The fair value of each exchanged option was determined on the date the Exchange Program commenced using the Black-Scholes methodology, and the following assumptions:

The Exchange Program did not result in any incremental compensation expense during 2012. The remaining unrecognized compensation costs for the exchanged options on the date of the exchange was approximately $0.3 million, and will be recognized over the restriction period.

(7) INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2012, we have unrecognized net operating loss carryforwards generated from the exercise of nonqualified options of approximately $57.1 million. These benefits will be recognized in the year in which they are able to reduce current income taxes payable. We expect to pay minimal income taxes in future periods due to the usage of these net operating losses.

As a result of the Exchange Program, we recognized a deferred tax asset of approximately $0.5 million at June 30, 2012, and a related income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The deferred tax asset represents the expected tax benefit of previously recognized compensation expense for incentive stock options that were exchanged as part of the Exchange Program. In prior years, we did not receive a tax benefit associated with incentive stock options. We will receive a tax benefit when the restrictions lapse on the restricted stock.

During the second quarter of 2011, we were notified by the Internal Revenue Service that our 2009 federal tax return was selected for examination. The examination was completed during the second quarter of 2012, with no significant findings or adjustments.

(8) COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS

We are a party to several collaborative arrangements with certain research institutions to identify and pursue promising pre-clinical pharmaceutical product candidates. The Company has determined these collaborative agreements do not meet the criteria for accounting under Accounting Standards Codification 808, Collaborative Agreements. The agreements do not specifically designate each party’s rights and obligations to each other under the collaborative arrangements. Except for patent defense costs, expenses incurred by one party are not required to be reimbursed by the other party. The funding for these programs is generally provided through private sector investments or federal Small Business Administration (SBIR/STTR) grant programs. Expenses incurred under these collaborative agreements are included in research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Funding received from private sector investments and grants are recorded as net revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During 2012, we received notices that our Acetadote patent was being challenged on the basis of non-infringement and/or invalidity. We intend to vigorously defend and protect our Acetadote product and related intellectual property rights and have filed lawsuits to contest the infringement of the Acetadote patent. At this point, it is too early to evaluate the outcome of the lawsuits. If we are unable to successfully defend our Acetadote patent, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

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

The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements which reflect management’s current views of future events and operations. These statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from them. Forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution you that our actual results may differ significantly from the results we discuss in these forward looking statements. Some important factors which may cause results to differ from expectations include: availability of additional debt and equity capital required to finance the business model; market conditions at the time additional capital is required; our ability to continue to acquire branded products; product sales; and management of our growth and integration of our acquisitions. Other important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements are discussed in “Risk Factors” on pages 17 through 31, and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 31 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Form 10-Q. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements, even in the event that experience or future changes indicate that the anticipated results will not be realized. The following presentation of management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Form 10-Q.

OVERVIEW

Our Business

We are a growing specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of branded prescription products. Our primary specialty markets are hospital acute care and gastroenterology, which are characterized by concentrated physician bases that we believe can be penetrated effectively by relatively small, targeted sales forces. We are dedicated to providing innovative products that improve quality of care for patients.

Our marketed product portfolio includes Acetadote^® (acetylcysteine) Injection for the treatment of acetaminophen poisoning, Caldolor^® (ibuprofen) Injection for the treatment for pain and fever, and Kristalose^® (lactulose) for Oral Solution, a prescription laxative. In early 2011, we acquired the rights to a late-stage Phase II product candidate that we intend to develop under the brand name Hepatoren^® (ifetroban) Injection for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome. We promote our approved products through our hospital and field sales forces in the United States, which together compromised more than 100 sales representatives and managers as of June 30, 2012.

We have both product development and commercial capabilities, and believe we can leverage our existing infrastructure to support our expected growth. Our management team consists of pharmaceutical industry veterans experienced in business development, product development, commercialization and finance. Our business development team identifies, evaluates and negotiates product acquisition, in-licensing and out-licensing opportunities. Our product development team develops proprietary product formulations, manages our clinical trials, prepares all regulatory submissions and manages our medical call center. Our products are manufactured by third parties, which are overseen and managed by our quality control and manufacturing group. Our marketing and sales professionals are responsible for our commercial activities, and we work closely with our third-party distribution partner to ensure availability and delivery of our products to our customers.

We have been profitable since 2004, with annual revenues funding our development and marketing programs and generating positive cash flow. In 2009, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock, and listed on the NASDAQ exchange.

Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy involves maximizing the potential of our existing products while continuing to build a portfolio of new, differentiated products. Specifically, we expect to grow by executing the following plans:

We were incorporated in 1999 and have been headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee since inception. Our website address is www.cumberlandpharma.com. We make available through our website our annual reports on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, our current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments, as well as other documents following their filing with the SEC. These filings are also made available to the public by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Quarter Highlights and Recent Developments

Acetadote^®

A new formulation of Acetadote (acetylcysteine) Injection was developed by us as part of a Phase IV commitment we made in response to a request by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to evaluate the reduction of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (“EDTA”) from the product’s formulation. The new Acetadote formulation does not contain EDTA or any other chelating or stabilization agent and is free of preservatives. The new formulation was listed in the FDA Orange Book following its FDA approval in January 2011. In April 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued U.S. Patent number 8,148,356 (the “Acetadote Patent”) which is assigned to us. The claims of the Acetadote Patent encompass the new Acetadote formulation and include composition of matter claims. The Acetadote Patent is scheduled to expire in May 2026 which time period includes a 270-day patent term adjustment granted by the USPTO. The Company also has additional patent applications relating to the uses of Acetadote which are pending with the USPTO.

Following the issuance of the Acetadote Patent, we received separate Paragraph IV certification notices from InnoPharma, Inc., Paddock Laboratories, LLC and Mylan Institutional LLC challenging the Acetadote Patent on the basis of non-infringement and/or invalidity. On May 17, 2012, we responded to the Paragraph IV certification notices by filing three separate lawsuits for infringement of the Acetedote Patent. The first lawsuit was filed against Mylan Institutional LLC and Mylan Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The second lawsuit was filed against InnoPharma, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The third lawsuit was also filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Paddock Laboratories, LLC and Perrigo Company. On May 20, 2012, we received a fourth Paragraph IV certification notice from Sagent Agila LLC challenging the Acetadote Patent. On June 26, 2012, we filed a lawsuit for infringement of the Acetadote Patent against Sagent Agila LLC and Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. On July 9, 2012, we received a Paragraph IV certification notice from Perrigo Company. We intend to vigorously defend and protect its Acetadote product and related intellectual property rights.

By statute, where the Paragraph IV certification is to a patent timely listed before an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) is filed, a company has 45 days to institute a patent infringement lawsuit during which period the FDA may not approve another application. In addition, such a lawsuit for patent

11

Table of Contents

infringement filed within such 45-day period may stay, or bar, the FDA from approving another product application for two and a half years or until a district court decision that is adverse to the asserted patents, whichever is earlier. On May 18, 2012, we requested the aforementioned bar or stay in connection with the filing of the three lawsuits on May 17, 2012. The aforementioned bar or stay may or may not be available to us with respect to the lawsuits.

On May 18, 2012, we also submitted a Citizen Petition to the FDA requesting that the FDA refrain from approving any applications for acetylcysteine injection that contain EDTA, based in part on the FDA’s request that Cumberland evaluate the reduction or removal of EDTA from its original Acetadote formulation.

Caldolor^®

Caldolor was approved for market in Canada for both its pain and fever indications through our distributor, Alveda Pharmaceuticals, in the second quarter of 2012.

International Markets

In February 2012, we entered into an exclusive agreement with China’s Harbin Gloria Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. for the commercialization of Acetadote (acetylcysteine) Injection, which is used to treat acetaminophen overdose, and Caldolor (ibuprofen) Injection, which is used to treat pain and fever in the hospital setting. The agreement provides Harbin Gloria exclusive rights to register and commercialize both drugs in China.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

Please see a discussion of our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates on pages 35 through 38 in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. We base our estimates on past experience and on other factors we deem reasonable given the circumstances. Past results help form the basis of our judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not determined from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are most critical with respect to our accounting for revenue recognition, inventories, provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation, research and development expenses and intangible assets.

Fair Value of Marketable Securities

We invest in government and government-agency bonds, including U.S. Treasury notes, in order to maximize our return on cash. We classify these investments as trading securities, and mark the investments to current market value at the end of each reporting period, with the adjustment being recognized in the statement of income. These investments are generally valued using observable market prices or by third-party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. The level of management judgment required in establishing fair value of financial instruments for which there is a quoted price in an active market is minimal. Similarly there is little subjectivity or judgment required for instruments valued using valuation models that are standard across the industry and where all parameter inputs are quoted in active markets. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011

Net revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $12.4 million compared to $14.4 million over the same period in 2011. Net revenue for Acetadote decreased approximately $2.4 million due primarily to a decrease in sales volume, partially offset by an increase in the average selling price. The decrease in Acetadote volume was driven by increased sales volume in 2011 caused by a shortage of the oral form of acetylcysteine. Kristalose net revenue remained consistent between the periods. Caldolor net revenue increased approximately $0.1 million due to an increase in wholesale reorders as we continued to gain acceptance in our target market.

Other revenues for the three months ending June 30, 2012 were approximately $0.2 million compared to $0.03 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was a result of recognizing approximately $0.2 million in revenue related to the out-licensing agreement with Harbin Gloria Pharmaceuticals Co.

Cost of products sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was consistent with the same period in 2011. However, in 2011, we recognized $0.4 million of inventory reserves for potential obsolescence. Excluding this adjustment, the increase in the percentage in 2012 was primarily due to a change in our sales mix.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $5.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately $0.4 million, or 7%, over the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower marketing and advertising costs as we incurred significant expenses in 2011 related to the launching of our new formulation of Acetadote and a new marketing campaign for Caldolor.

Research and development. Research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $1.6 million, representing an increase of approximately $0.5 million, or 51%, over the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses associated with continuing clinical studies for our current products and product candidates.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $2.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 9%, over the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to (1) decreased consulting fees and (2) decreased charitable contributions in 2012, partially offset by increased professional fees.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $0.02 million, representing a decrease of approximately $0.1 million as compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the early payoff of our term debt facility in the third quarter of 2011.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $0.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately $1.2 million over the same period in 2011. As a percentage of income before income taxes, income tax expense decreased from 39.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 13.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in the percentage was primarily due to the recognition of approximately $0.5 million of tax benefits for previously recognized compensation expense associated with certain incentive stock options that were exchanged for shares of restricted stock in 2012. In prior years, we did not recognize a tax benefit for the incentive stock options because the compensation expense was not deductible for tax purposes. Expense associated with restricted stock is generally deductible for tax purposes in the year the restrictions lapse. Therefore, when the incentive stock options were exchanged for restricted stock, the previously recognized compensation expense became deductible for tax purposes, and a tax benefit was recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2012, we have approximately $57.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards that will be used to significantly offset future income tax obligations.

Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011

Net revenues. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $22.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately $2.4 million, or 10%, over the same period in 2011. The decrease in net revenues was primarily due to decreased Acetadote revenue partially offset by increases in Kristalose and Caldolor revenue. The decrease in Acetadote revenue was primarily due to a decrease in volume partially offset by an increase in the average selling price. The decrease in Acetadote volume was driven by increased sales volume in 2011 caused by a shortage of the oral form of acetylcysteine. The increase in Kristalose revenue was primarily due to an increase in the average selling price. The increase in Caldolor revenue was due to an increase in wholesaler reorders as we continue to gain acceptance in our target market.

Other revenues increased approximately $0.7 million due to the recognition of approximately $0.7 million in revenue related to the out-licensing agreement with Harbin Gloria Pharmaceuticals Co.

Cost of products sold. Cost of products sold as a percentage of net revenues increased from 8.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 8.6% for the same period in 2012. As previously noted, we recognized $0.4 million of inventory reserves for potential obsolescence during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Excluding this reserve, the increase in 2012 as compared to the adjusted percentage in 2011 was due to a change in the sales mix between the periods.

Selling and marketing. Selling and marketing expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $10.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately $0.7 million, or 6%, over the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to (1) a decrease in royalty expense due to the Acetadote royalty agreement expiring in January 2011, (2) decreased sales force and related expenses as a result of converting our hospital sales force from contract employees to Cumberland employees and (3) decreased marketing and advertising expense as we incurred significant expenses in 2011 related to the launching of the new formulation of Acetadote and a new marketing campaign for Caldolor.

Research and development. Research and development expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $3.0 million, representing an increase of approximately $0.9 million, or 45%, over the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to (1) increased clinical studies expenses related to our current products and product candidates and (2) increased costs related to the annual FDA product and establishment fees for our products.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled approximately $0.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately $1.4 million, over the same period in 2011. As a percentage of net income before income taxes, income tax expense decreased from 40.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 20.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a deferred tax benefit associated with the exchange of certain incentive stock options, as previously discussed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operations, our availability under our line of credit and the cash proceeds from our initial public offering of common stock that was completed in August 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we generated $3.2 million in cash flow from operations compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2011. We believe that our internally generated cash flows, amounts available under our credit facilities and cash on hand will be adequate to service existing debt, finance internal growth and fund capital expenditures.

In 2012, we began investing a portion of our cash reserves in variable rate demand notes and a portfolio of government-backed securities (including U.S. Treasuries, government-sponsored enterprise debentures and government-sponsored adjustable rate, mortgage-backed securities). The variable rate demand notes, or VRDNs, are generally issued by municipal governments and are backed by a financial institution letter of credit. We hold a put right on the VRDNs, which allows us to liquidate the investment

relatively quickly (less than one week). The government-backed securities have an active secondary market that generally provides for liquidity in less than one week. At June 30, 2012, we had a total of approximately $18.2 million invested in these securities.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents, including marketable securities, totaled $70.5 million and $70.6 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $79.1 million and $80.7 million, respectively, and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 12.1x and 13.2x, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, we had an additional $5.6 million available to us on our line of credit.

The following table summarizes our net changes in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the investment of our cash reserves in certain government and government-backed securities, as previously noted.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to cash generated from our operating activities. Net income for the period was $2.9 million. In addition, our accounts payable and other current liabilities, net of the excess tax benefit generated by the exercise of nonqualified options in 2011, increased by $2.0 million from December 31, 2010, which had a favorable impact on our operating cash flows. Contributing to our increase in cash and cash equivalents was the cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options during 2011 of $0.5 million. These increases were partially offset by scheduled debt payments of $1.3 million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates on our revolving credit facility. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments or other market risk-sensitive instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. The main objective of our cash investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing interest income through low-risk investments.

The interest rate related to borrowings under our revolving credit facility is a variable rate of LIBOR plus an Applicable Margin, as defined in the debt agreement (2.25% at June 30, 2012). As of June 30, 2012, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $4.4 million under our revolving credit facility. If interest rates increased by 1.0%, our annual interest expense on our borrowings would increase by less than $0.1 million.

Exchange Rate Risk

While we operate primarily in the United States, some of our research and development is performed abroad. As of June 30, 2012, our outstanding payables denominated in a foreign currency were less than $0.1 million.

Currently, we do not utilize financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. We believe our exposure to foreign currency fluctuation is minimal as our purchases in foreign currency have a maximum exposure of 30 days based on invoice terms. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses were not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Neither a 10% increase nor decrease from current exchange rates would have a significant effect on our operating results or financial condition.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures are considered effective to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries is made known to officers within these entities in order to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

See Item 1A, Risk Factors, below for a discussion regarding legal proceedings, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1a: Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors appears on pages 17 through 31 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 under the section titled “Risk Factors.” The following risk factor was included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and has been updated for recent developments:

Our strategy to secure and extend marketing exclusivity or patent rights may provide only limited protection from competition.

We seek to secure and extend marketing exclusivity for our products through a variety of means, including FDA exclusivity and patent rights. Additional barriers for competitors seeking to enter the market include the time and cost associated with the development, regulatory approval and manufacturing of a similar product formulation.

Acetadote is indicated to prevent or lessen hepatic (liver) injury when administered intravenously within eight to ten hours after ingesting quantities of acetaminophen that are potentially toxic to the liver. In April 2012, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued U.S. Patent number 8,148,356 (the “Acetadote Patent”) which is assigned to us. The claims of the Acetadote Patent encompass the new Acetadote formulation. Following its issuance, the Acetadote Patent was listed in the FDA Orange Book. The Acetadote Patent is scheduled to expire in May 2026 which time period includes a 270-day patent term adjustment granted by the USPTO. We also have additional patent applications relating to the uses of Acetadote which are pending with the USPTO and may or may not be issued.

Following the issuance of the Acetadote Patent, we received separate Paragraph IV certification notices from InnoPharma, Inc., Paddock Laboratories, LLC and Mylan Institutional LLC challenging the Acetadote Patent on the basis of non-infringement and/or invalidity. On May 17, 2012, we responded to the Paragraph IV certification notices by filing three separate lawsuits for infringement of the Acetedote Patent. The first lawsuit was filed against Mylan Institutional LLC and Mylan Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The second lawsuit was filed against InnoPharma, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The third lawsuit was also

filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Paddock Laboratories, LLC and Perrigo Company. On May 20, 2012, we received a fourth Paragraph IV certification notice from Sagent Agila LLC challenging the Acetadote Patent. On June 26, 2012, we filed a lawsuit for infringement of the Acetadote Patent against Sagent Agila LLC and Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. On July 9, 2012, we received a Paragraph IV certification notice from Perrigo Company. We intend to vigorously defend and protect our Acetadote product and related intellectual property rights.

By statute, where the Paragraph IV certification is to a patent timely listed before an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) is filed, a company has 45 days to institute a patent infringement lawsuit during which period the FDA may not approve another application. In addition, such a lawsuit for patent infringement filed within such 45-day period may stay, or bar, the FDA from approving another product application for two and a half years or until a district court decision that is adverse to the asserted patents, whichever is earlier. On May 18, 2012, we requested the aforementioned bar or stay in connection with the filing of the three lawsuits on May 17, 2012. The aforementioned bar or stay may or may not be available to us with respect to the lawsuits.

On May 18, 2012, we also submitted a Citizen Petition to the FDA requesting that the FDA refrain from approving any applications for acetylcysteine injection that contain EDTA, based in part on the FDA’s request that we evaluate the reduction or removal of EDTA from its original Acetadote formulation.

If we are unsuccessful in protecting our Acetadote intellectual property rights, our competitors may be able to introduce products into the marketplace that reduce the sales and market share of our Acetadote product which may require us to take measures such as reducing prices or increasing our marketing expense, any of which may result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have a U.S. patent for Caldolor, and some related international patents, which are directed to ibuprofen solution formulations, methods of making the same, and methods of using the same, and which are related to our formulation and manufacture of Caldolor. Additionally, the active ingredient in Caldolor—ibuprofen—is in the public domain, and if a competitor were to develop a sufficiently distinct formulation, it could develop and seek FDA approval for another ibuprofen product that competes with Caldolor. Upon receipt of FDA approval in June 2009, we received three years of marketing exclusivity for Caldolor. Upon the expiration of our marketing exclusivity, a competitor with a generic form of injectable ibuprofen could enter the market.

While we consider patent protection when evaluating product acquisition opportunities, any products we acquire in the future may not have significant patent protection. Neither the USPTO nor the courts have a consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed or the degree of protection afforded under many pharmaceutical patents. Patent applications in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months following the filing date of the first related application, and in some cases not at all. In addition, publication of discoveries in scientific literature often lags significantly behind actual discoveries. Therefore, neither we nor our licensors can be certain that we or they were the first to make the inventions claimed in our issued patents or pending patent applications, or that we or they were the first to file for protection of the inventions set forth in these patent applications. In addition, changes in either patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the U.S. and other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent protection. Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop similar technologies or duplicate technology developed by us in a manner that does not infringe our patents or other intellectual property. As a result of these factors, our patent rights may not provide any commercially valuable protection from competing products.
