NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Background

 

Xstelos Holdings, Inc. (“Xstelos”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on January 20, 2012, and on January 23, 2012 entered into a Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”) with Footstar, Inc. (“Footstar”) pursuant to which Footstar contributed all of its assets to Xstelos, including its cash, real estate and its 80.5% interest in FCB I Holdings, Inc. (“FCB Holdings”). In exchange for the contribution of all of its assets, Xstelos assumed all of Footstar’s liabilities and issued all of its shares of common stock to Footstar. On April 23, 2012, Xstelos issued 24,263,194 shares of its common stock to Footstar. Footstar then distributed all of the Xstelos common stock to holders of Footstar’s common stock as of April 23, 2012, the record date, pro rata on a one-for-one basis. Immediately thereafter, Footstar’s stockholders became the owners of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Xstelos, and the Xstelos stockholders’ holdings were proportionate to their percentage ownership of Footstar shares as of April 23, 2012, the record date for the distribution.

 

Prior to the Plan of Reorganization, during 2008, substantially all of Footstar’s business operations were related to the operation of licensed footwear departments in Kmart stores pursuant to an agreement with Kmart Corporation. This agreement expired in December 2008. On May 5, 2009, the stockholders of Footstar adopted and approved the Amended Plan of Complete Dissolution and Liquidation (the “Plan of Dissolution”).

 

As discussed below, on April 5, 2011, Xstelos Corp. (formerly Footstar Corporation), a wholly owned subsidiary of Footstar (“Xstelos Corp” and, together with Xstelos and its subsidiaries and their operations prior to the Plan of Reorganization, the “Company”), completed the CPEX Transaction (as defined below). In the CPEX Transaction, the Company acquired CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CPEX”), an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company. As a result of the CPEX Transaction, an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Xstelos Corp merged with and into CPEX, with CPEX surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCB Holdings. FCB Holdings is owned 80.5% by Xstelos Corp and 19.5% by an unaffiliated investment holding company (the “Investment Holding Company”).

 

Following the completion of the CPEX Transaction, Footstar and Xstelos entered into the Plan of Reorganization. On May 5, 2012, Footstar finally and completely liquidated and dissolved in accordance with its Plan of Dissolution.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were determined, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), to represent the consolidated historical assets and liabilities contributed to Xstelos, which prior to January 19, 2012 were those of Xstelos Corp and Subsidiaries.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of Company’s management, all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, or any other period. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 of Footstar Corporation and Subsidiaries (Predecessor Company) included in Xstelos’ Form S-1, File No. 333-179148, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2012.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Acquisition

 

In August 2010, Footstar’s Board of Directors was made aware of an opportunity regarding a potential strategic transaction with CPEX, an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company whose shares were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CPEX”. Substantially all of CPEX’s revenue is a royalty stream under a licensing agreement with Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Auxilium”) pursuant to which CPEX licenses its CPE-215 technology with a testosterone formulation to Auxilium and receives royalties of 12% from Auxilium based upon Auxilium’s sales of Testim®. Testim® is a gel for testosterone replacement therapy, which is a formulation of CPEX’s technology with testosterone. Auxilium is currently marketing Testim® in the United States, Europe and Canada. From August 2010 through January 3, 2011, Footstar negotiated the terms of a strategic merger transaction with CPEX pursuant to which CPEX would become a majority-owned indirect subsidiary of Footstar (the “CPEX Transaction”).

 

On January 3, 2011, CPEX, FCB Holdings and FCB I Acquisition Corp. (“FCB Acquisition”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCB Holdings, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “CPEX Transaction Agreement”).

 

On April 5, 2011, the parties completed the CPEX Transaction pursuant to the CPEX Transaction Agreement. As a result of the CPEX Transaction, FCB Acquisition merged with and into CPEX, with CPEX surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of FCB Holdings. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of CPEX from the date of acquisition.

 

Pursuant to the CPEX Transaction, CPEX common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the CPEX Transaction, other than shares held by stockholders who properly exercised their appraisal rights and shares owned by CPEX as treasury stock, was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive $27.25 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

 

The acquisition of CPEX was accounted for as a purchase under The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805. The purchase price of approximately $76.2 million (which includes cash paid and liabilities assumed) was allocated to the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.

 

On April 5, 2011, in connection with the CPEX Transaction, FCB I LLC (“Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of FCB Acquisition which became a wholly owned subsidiary of CPEX upon FCB Acquisition’s merger with and into CPEX, borrowed approximately $64 million under that certain Loan Agreement dated as of January 3, 2011 (the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among Borrower, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Agent, and certain Lenders from time to time party thereto, in the form of a secured term loan to Borrower. The term loan under the Term Loan Agreement bears interest at “LIBOR” plus 16% per annum, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1%, and matures on the earlier of January 3, 2026 or the date any of CPEX’s patents that are associated with Testim®, a topical testosterone gel, expire, and contains customary events of default for loans of such nature. As part of the Term Loan Agreement, CPEX contributed to Borrower all of its intellectual property rights in Testim®  and rights to the royalty stream pursuant to the license agreement with Auxilium, and the loan is secured by Borrower’s interest in all such rights. Repayment of the loan is made through a waterfall arrangement whereby, if certain conditions are met, the Testim® royalty stream is distributed on a quarterly basis as follows: first to pay certain fees and expenses of Agent and Borrower, second to pay fees of the banks maintaining the accounts associated with the loan, third to pay any expenses of Agent used to protect the loan collateral and any other unreimbursed fees or expenses of Agent or any Lender, fourth to replenish any shortfall in the interest reserve (which is $2.5 million), fifth to pay interest due, sixth to pay 65% of the remaining royalty funds to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as payment toward loan principal, and finally to Borrower for its benefit.

Upon consummation of the CPEX Transaction, FCB Holdings was owned 80.5% by Xstelos Corp and 19.5% by the Investment Holding Company. The Investment Holding Company is affiliated with a minority Lender under the Term Loan Agreement (as defined above).

 

On April 4, 2011, in connection with the CPEX Transaction, Xstelos Corp made a $3 million bridge loan to FCB Holdings under that certain Loan Agreement dated as of April 4, 2011 (the “Xstelos Corp Loan Agreement”), by and between FCB Holdings and Xstelos Corp.  The loan bore interest at 20% per annum and provided for a fee of 3% of the principal amount (less accrued interest) payable to Xstelos Corp, which was due upon repayment of the loan. The bridge loan was repaid on April 5, 2011, prior to maturity.

 

On April 4, 2011, in connection with the CPEX Transaction, Black Horse Capital LP and Black Horse Capital Master Fund Ltd. (together, “Black Horse”) made a $10 million bridge loan to FCB Holdings under that certain Loan Agreement dated as of April 4, 2011 (the “Black Horse Loan Agreement”), by and between Black Horse and FCB Holdings. The bridge loan under the Black Horse Loan Agreement had substantially the same terms as the bridge loan under the Xstelos Corp Loan Agreement, and was repaid on April 5, 2011, prior to maturity. FCB Holdings also reimbursed Black Horse for transaction fees related to the CPEX acquisition of approximately $830,000.

 

Xstelos Corp is party to a consulting and advisory agreement with the Investment Holding Company for such entity to provide certain consulting and advisory services to Xstelos Corp relating to intellectual property and other matters. The agreement provides for payment solely to the extent Xstelos Corp has received dividends from FCB Holdings, of which $7,245,000 was received by Xstelos and $1,755,000 by the Investment Holding Company on September 27, 2012. Amounts payable pursuant to the consulting and advisory agreement are to be paid into an escrow account. As of September 30, 2012, no amounts have been paid. It is anticipated that amounts due will be paid on or prior to January 30, 2013. Under certain circumstances, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, up to six years may lapse between the filing of the consolidated tax return by Xstelos Corp relating to the period for which such consulting fee was paid and its release from escrow. Annual amounts to be paid, following receipt of such dividends pursuant to the terms of the agreement, would be $1,000,000 for 2011, $750,000 for 2012, $750,000 for 2013, $500,000 for 2014 and $250,000 for 2015 and annually thereafter through the agreement termination. The agreement terminates upon the conclusion of the monetization of CPEX’s intellectual property, subject to the terms of the agreement. The Company has accrued approximately $1.6 million as of September 30, 2012 under this agreement, and expensed approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively, and expensed approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. Additionally, the Company paid approximately $67,000 of taxes on behalf of the Investment Holding Company relating to a consent dividend issued to the Investment Holding Company for which the cash is not distributed. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned, and wholly-owned, subsidiaries which were derived from the historical accounting records of Xstelos Corp, prior to January 19, 2012, and reflect the historical financial positions, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods described herein. Intercompany balances and transactions between the entities have been eliminated. For simplicity of presentation, these condensed consolidated financial statements are referred to as financial statements herein.

 

Fiscal Years

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the three month results of operations, and nine month results of operations, and assets and liabilities, based on a 52-week calendar year ending December 31, 2012 and for the 53-week fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

 

Cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less from the date acquired and stated at cost that approximates their fair market value. At times the Company has cash and cash equivalents balances in excess of the FDIC and SIPC insured limits.

 

At September 30, 2012, restricted cash of $2,500,000 pledged to support a bank credit facility, is classified as a non-current asset. The restricted cash serves as collateral for the loan in connection with the CPEX Transaction that provides financial assurance that the Company has the ability to service the loan, as discussed in Note 7 – Long Term Debt. The cash is held in custody by the loan agent, is restricted as to withdrawal or use, and is currently not invested and does not bear interest.

Accounts receivable and allowances for doubtful accounts

 

When necessary, receivable balances are reported net of an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Estimated uncollectible receivables are based on the amount and status of past due accounts, contractual terms with customers, the credit worthiness of customers and the history of uncollectible accounts. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2012, and related royalty revenues for the nine months then ended, are due from its licensee, Auxilium, for sales of Testim®. All receivables are uncollateralized and therefore are subject to credit risk.

 

The Company determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

Fixed assets held for sale

 

Fixed assets held for sale consist of laboratory equipment, which were obtained in the CPEX acquisition. As these assets are not in service, no depreciation expense has been recorded. These assets are reflected at the lower of net book value or their estimated fair value.

 

Marketable securities

 

The Company accounts for its marketable securities pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Under this topic, the Company initially accounted for this security with readily determinable fair values as available-for-sale. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company reclassified the security to trading security resulting in the elimination of accumulated other comprehensive income of $61,000 as a change in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The security reflected on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets is at fair market value based on quoted market prices with the unrealized gains and losses reported in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

During the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $0 and $734,000, respectively, from the sale of shares of its marketable securities and recognized a gain due to an increase in market value of approximately $411,000 and a loss due to a decrease in market value of approximately $116,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, marketable securities consisted of a stock at a fair value of approximately $3.8 million.

 

Fixed assets

 

The Company, through its acquisition of CPEX, owns a 16,434 square foot commercial building situated on approximately 14 acres of land in Exeter, New Hampshire (“Exeter”). It is located approximately 50 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts. During the second quarter of 2012, management withdrew its plan to sell the Exeter property. The Company is currently leasing the Exeter property and is not marketing this property for sale. As a result of this decision, in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-44, the property was reclassified as held-for-use, which requires the asset to be reclassified at the lower of carrying value before the asset was classified as held for sale, less the depreciation that would have been recorded had the asset been continuously classified as held for sale, or the fair value on the date it was decided that it would not be sold. As a result, approximately $13,000 and $76,000 of depreciation expense has been recorded for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to this asset, which represents the expense that would have been recorded during the period were it considered held-for-sale. This building was reported as Real estate held for sale from April 5, 2011 through May 31, 2012, and reclassified to Fixed assets in use once the Company started leasing the property. As a result of this lease, management disposed of approximately $134,000 of furniture and equipment that were stored in the Exeter building, and recorded a loss which is included in loss on disposal of non-operating assets, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The Company recognizes rental revenue from the lease of the Exeter property. The term of the lease is 63 months, of which the lease agreement contains provisions for future rent increases and periods in which rent payments are abated, with an average monthly income of approximately $13,000. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records monthly rent income, on a straight line basis, equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease term. The difference between rental income recorded and the amount received is debited or charged to “deferred rent income”. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $54,000 of deferred rental income is included in deferred financing costs and other noncurrent assets, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and for the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2012, approximately $41,000 and $54,000 has been recorded as rental income, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

Real estate

 

The Company had been marketing its Mahwah Real Estate for sale since May 5, 2007 and the Company estimated that the fair value of the real estate, less estimated closing costs, at approximately $6.2 million. This estimate was based on unobservable inputs (see Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements).  Inputs used to estimate the Mahwah Real Estate value included the location’s assessed tax valuation and local real estate broker estimates of value. On April 27, 2012, the Company signed a purchase agreement and sold its Mahwah Real Estate to a third party buyer for approximately $14.6 million less selling and other costs of approximately $0.8 million, and recognized a gain of approximately $7.7 million. The Mahwah Real Estate was recorded at the lesser of cost or net realizable value at December 31, 2011.

 

Goodwill and intangible assets

 

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring licenses, patents, and other proprietary rights are capitalized as intangible assets. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable useful life from the dates of acquisition. Such assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amounts to their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, and adjustments are made for any diminution in value below the carrying value.

 

16
 

 

XSTELOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

The assets acquired in the CPEX acquisition included approximately $59.4 million of intangible assets which were assigned primarily to CPEX’s patents and license agreement associated with Testim®, a topical testosterone gel. The acquired intangible asset has a useful life of approximately 15 years, with the patent expiring on January 3, 2026.

 

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. FASB ASC Topic 350 requires that goodwill not be amortized but must be reviewed for impairment at least annually and if a triggering event were to occur in an interim period. The Company performs at least an annual assessment of goodwill for impairment or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable from future cash flows. The Company’s annual impairment test is performed at the end of its fiscal year. There was no impairment at December 31, 2011.

 

Included in the acquisition of CPEX, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $10.9 million. As of September 30, 2012, no impairment has been charged against goodwill recorded in the acquisition of CPEX.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted this guidance in fiscal 2012 in connection with its annual testing of goodwill for impairment.

 

Income taxes

 

The Internal Revenue Code requires any company that satisfies the definition of a “personal holding company” to pay personal holding company taxes in addition to regular income taxes. A company will be taxed as a personal holding company if (1) more than 50.0% of the value of the company’s stock is held by five or fewer individuals and (2) at least 60.0% of the company’s adjusted ordinary gross income constitutes personal holding company income. If the company is considered a personal holding company, its undistributed personal holding company income, which is generally taxable income with certain adjustments, including a deduction for federal income taxes and dividends paid, will be taxed at the dividend tax rate, which is currently 15.0%, and which tax rate is scheduled to increase January 1, 2013, to 39.6%, under the current tax code. Whether or not the Company or any of its subsidiaries are classified as personal holding companies will depend upon, among other factors, the amount of any personal holding company income and the percentage of any outstanding common stock that is beneficially owned by the Company’s five largest stockholders. The Company was taxed as a personal holding company for the 2011 tax year based on the nature of its income and its share ownership. The Company will be taxed as a personal holding company for the 2012 tax year and, depending on the facts and circumstances, in future years. As a result of Cash dividends and Consent dividends issued by CPEX Pharmaceuticals and FCB I Holdings, through September 30, 2012 and the tax loss generated by the sale of the Mahwah Real Estate during 2012, there has been no Personal Holding Company tax expense incurred as of September 30, 2012. If the Company is taxed as a personal holding company in 2013, and assuming that the rate of personal holding company tax increases to 39.6%, the Company may incur significant personal holding company tax, none of which may be offset by the Company’s federal net operating loss carry forwards.

XSTELOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

As discussed further in Note 8 – Income Taxes, the Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on operating loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740 when accounting for tax contingencies. The guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under GAAP, tax benefits are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon effective settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax contingencies. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to tax matters in the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. There were no tax related interest and penalties for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 or for the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2011. Tax years beginning in 2009 are generally subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating losses from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used.

 

The Company determined the deferred tax provision under the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates.

 

The Company reviews the valuation of deferred tax assets based on positive evidence, such as projections of future taxable earnings along with negative evidence, such as operational uncertainties. As a result, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will be realized as of September 30, 2012, based primarily on the actual earnings from CPEX operations since the date of acquisition in April 2011, and the forecasted performance of CPEX, and reduced the previously recorded valuation allowance resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $21.2 million for the three and nine months then ended.

Revenue Recognition

 

CPEX recognizes revenue from royalties on Auxilium’s sales of Testim® in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-10, which requires sales to be recorded upon delivery, provided that there is evidence of a final arrangement, there are no uncertainties surrounding acceptance, title has passed, collectability is reasonably assured and the price is fixed or determinable. Since 2003, Auxilium has sold Testim® to pharmaceutical wholesalers and chain drug stores, which have the right to return purchased products prior to the units being dispensed through patient prescriptions. Based on historical experience, CPEX is able to reasonably estimate future product returns on sales of Testim® and as a result, did not defer Testim® royalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for its stock based employee compensation plans under FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Topic 505-50. FASB ASC Topic 718-10 and FASB ASC Topic 505-50 address the accounting for shared based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services for equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718-10 and FASB ASC Topic 505-50 require that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method.

 

In considering the fair value of the underlying stock when the Company grants options or restricted stock, the Company considers several factors including the fair values established by market transactions. Stock-based compensation includes significant estimates and judgments of when stock options might be exercised, forfeiture rates and stock price volatility. The timing of option exercises is out of the Company’s control and depends upon a number of factors including the Company’s market value and the financial objectives of the holders of the options. These estimates can have a material impact on the Company’s stock compensation expense but will have no impact on the Company’s cash flows.

 

The Company accounts for equity awards of the Company issued to non-employees providing services on behalf of the Company in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50 (formerly EITF No. 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with, Selling Goods or Services.”). FASB ASC Topic 505-50 requires the Company to measure the fair value of equity instruments using the stock prices and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a performance commitment by the counterparty is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the revenues and expenses reported during the period, and includes, among others, allocations of CPEX purchase price, lives of intangible assets, estimate of long-term debt classified as current, and valuation allowances on deferred taxes. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s judgment and available information and, consequently, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. There are 2,500,000 options outstanding at September 30, 2012 which are potentially dilutive and were added to the basic common shares outstanding to calculate the dilutive common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and nine month ended September 30, 2012, are as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   September 30, 2012   September 30, 2012

Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted   25,240,310    16,975,340 

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company measures fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

·         Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

·         Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

 

·         Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

20
 

 

XSTELOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value (see Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements).

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on fair value measurements. This newly issued accounting standard clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This accounting standard is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The new requirements are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and interim and annual periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

3. Discontinued Operations

 

At the end of December 2008, the Company’s business operations related to which it operated licensed footwear departments in various department stores, have been classified as discontinued operations, for all periods presented. Therefore, all related operations, impairment losses and disposal costs, gains and losses on disposition attributable to these licensed footwear departments have been aggregated in a single caption entitled “Earnings From Discontinued Operations” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

7. Long Term Debt

 

As further discussed in Note 1 - CPEX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Acquisition, on April 5, 2011, in connection with the CPEX Transaction, the Borrower borrowed approximately $64 million under the Term Loan Agreement by and among Borrower, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Agent, and certain Lenders from time to time party thereto, in the form of a secured term loan to Borrower. The term loan under the Term Loan Agreement bears interest at “LIBOR” plus 16% per annum, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1%, and matures on the earlier of January 3, 2026 or the date any of CPEX’s patents that are associated with Testim®, a topical testosterone gel, expire, and contains customary events of default for loans of such nature.

 

The balance of the loan at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately $52.4 million and $61.6 million, respectively, with an original issue discount (“OID”) balance of approximately $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Interest totaling approximately $2.5 million and $2.8 million was expensed in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. Interest totaling approximately $7.7 million and $5.4 million was expensed in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively. The rate applicable to this loan was 17.0% at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Current maturities of long term debt represent amounts expected to be payable in the next twelve months subsequent to September 30, 2012 in accordance with the repayment waterfall arrangement based on management’s forecast. Future maturities are subject to change based on future cash flows and the terms of the loan agreement.

 

The $64 million loan was issued at a discount of 2.34%, for total net proceeds of $62.5 million, with an effective interest rate of 18%.  The OID was $1.5 million.  The OID is equal to the difference between the stated face amount of the loan and actual cash received.  This OID is being amortized over the estimated life of the loan, approximately 6 years, using the effective interest rate method, and is recorded as a component within non-cash interest expense.  Amortization of approximately $81,000 and $37,000 was expensed for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and October 1, 2011, respectively, and amortization of approximately $164,000 and $73,000 was expensed for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and October 2, 2011, respectively, leaving an OID balance of approximately $1.2 million as of September 30, 2012.

 

The $64 million loan is collateralized by patents and a license agreement associated with Testim®, that were acquired in the CPEX transaction. The loan agreement requires certain financial reporting and non financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2012.

 

8. Income Taxes

 

The Company has available for federal income tax purposes net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), subject to review by the authorities, aggregating approximately $111.9 million and $119.9 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 that, if not utilized, will begin expiring for federal purposes in 2025.  Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change in ownership in future years as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. It should be noted that there may be certain limitations other than those potentially imposed by Section 382 of the Code on the Company’s ability to use its NOLs to offset certain taxable income, including, potentially, income generated in respect of the CPEX business. In assessing the realizability of deferred taxes, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on projections of our future taxable earnings.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

As a result of the 2011 CPEX acquisition, the Company recorded an approximately $19.5 million net deferred tax liability, and reduced approximately $19.5 million of the valuation allowance against its NOL carryforward tax asset, which is reflected as an income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2011. The Company reviews the valuation of deferred tax assets based on positive evidence, such as projections of future taxable earnings along with negative evidence, such as operational uncertainties. As a result, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will be realized as of September 30, 2012, based primarily on the actual earnings from CPEX operations since the date of acquisition in April 2011 and the forecasted performance of CPEX and reduced the previously recorded valuation allowance resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $21.2 million for the three and nine months then ended.

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):

9. Stock Based Compensation Plans

 

On March 15, 2010, Footstar issued shares of common stock having an aggregate fair value of $500,000 on the grant date, or 2,173,913 shares, to Jon Couchman, in lieu of any cash compensation for base salary for Mr. Couchman’s services as President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for the twelve months commencing March 1, 2010. As these shares vested over a fiscal one year service period, the Company recognized expense of approximately $0 and $83,000, for three months ended October 1, 2011 and for nine months ended October 1, 2011, respectively.

 

On March 15, 2010, Mr. Couchman was awarded a stock option to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Footstar’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.40 per share (after giving effect to the liquidating cash dividend of $0.10 paid on March 12, 2010). On the date of the grant, the closing price of Footstar’s stock was $0.23. The stock option was fully vested at the time of the grant. Pursuant to the Plan of reorganization, on April 19, 2012, Xstelos issued an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company to Mr. Couchman substantially on the same terms as the Footstar option. The option expires March 15, 2020.   This issuance did not result in additional compensation expense in 2012.

 

Mr. Finerman, a non-employee director of the Company, elected to receive his full director retainer ($12,500 for each quarter, totaling $50,000) for fiscal 2011 in shares of restricted stock in lieu of cash compensation for service as a director in 2011 to which he would otherwise have been entitled. On July 13, 2011, 30,948 shares of Footstar common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $25,000 on the grant date, were issued to Mr. Finerman for service as a director in 2011. On September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, 16,892 and 20,492 shares of Footstar common stock, respectively, having an aggregate fair value of $12,500 on each grant date, were issued to Mr. Finerman for service as a director in 2011.

 

Mr. Finerman, a non-employee director of the Company, elected to receive his full retainer ($12,500 for each quarter, totaling $50,000) for fiscal 2012 in shares of restricted stock in lieu of cash compensation for service as a director in 2012 to which he would otherwise have been entitled. On April 2, 2012, 10,965 shares of Footstar common stock having an aggregate fair value of $12,500 on the grant date, were issued to Mr. Finerman for service as a director for the first quarter of 2012. On July 2, 2012, 6,579 shares of Xstelos common stock having an aggregate fair value of $12,500 on the grant date, were issued to Mr. Finerman for service as a director for the second quarter of 2012. On October 1, 2012, 7,576 shares of Xstelos common stock having an aggregate fair value of $12,500 on the grant date, were issued to Mr. Finerman for service as a director for the third quarter of 2012. The $12,500 value of the October 1, 2012 issuance is related to the third quarter of 2012 and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation Matters

 

The Company is involved in various and routine litigation matters, which arise through the normal course of business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of the Company. While it firmly maintains that all pending claims are meritless, the Company will, however, continue to expend costs as it vigorously defends against these claims.

 

Thom McAn: In connection with the Company’s discontinued operations in 1995, the Company entered into a sublease formerly occupied by its Thom McAn stores. The lease expires effective February 1, 2014. The obligation under the sublease is $1.0 million as of the date of this filing, although the Company believes that there has been a novation of its obligations under such lease and may bring litigation to have a court finally determine such issue. At this time, the Company has not recorded a liability relating to this commitment as the probability of an unfavorable outcome is remote.

 

Upsher-Smith Litigation: In October 2008, CPEX and Auxilium received notice that Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc. (“Upsher-Smith”) had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application, or ANDA containing a paragraph IV certification in which Upsher-Smith certified that it believes its proposed generic version of Testim® does not infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,320,968 (the “968 Patent”). The ‘968 Patent claims a method for maintaining effective blood serum testosterone levels for treating a hypogonadal male, and will expire in January 2025. The ‘968 Patent is listed for Testim® in Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (commonly known as the Orange Book), published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Upsher-Smith’s paragraph IV certification sets forth allegations that the ‘968 Patent will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of its proposed generic product as set forth in its ANDA No. 79-178. On December 4, 2008, CPEX and Auxilium filed a Hatch-Waxman infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“the Court”) against Upsher-Smith seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. The Court docketed this case as Civil Action No. 08-908-SLR. In June 2009, Upsher-Smith amended its answer to the complaint to include a defense and counterclaim of invalidity of the ‘968 Patent, which CPEX and Auxilium have denied in a reply to the counterclaim filed in July 2009. A patent issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), such as the ‘968 Patent, is presumed valid. As of the date of this filing, the lawsuit remains pending; however, the case was administratively closed in December of 2011 and will remain closed until further order of the Court.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

CPEX has filed continuation and divisional applications with the USPTO relating to the ‘968 Patent. Nine patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; 8,063,029; and 8,178,518 were issued from these applications, which may provide further market protection. Each of these nine patents has been listed in the Orange Book with respect to Testim®. In April 2012, Auxilium and CPEX received a paragraph IV notice letter for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,320,968; 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; and 8,063,029 in whicjh USL certified that it believes that its proposed generic product does not infringe these patents.  At this time, only the ’968 Patent is in the Delaware lawsuit discussed above.

 

On September 10, 2012, Upsher-Smith filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Auxilium and FCB, seeking declaratory judgment that its ANDA No. 79-178 does not infringe eight of the ten patents listed in the Orange Book as covering Testim® as well as a declaration of invalidity as to these patents U.S. Patent Nos. 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; and 8,063,029. On October 12, 2012, Auxilium and FCB filed a motion to dismiss Upsher-Smith's declaratory judgment complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or alternately, to transfer that case to the District of Delaware. Upsher-Smith's Opposition to this motion was received on November 7, 2012. Auxilium’s and FCB's Reply to Upsher-Smith’s Opposition is due on November 16, 2012.

 

CPEX and its affiliates will vigorously pursue the Hatch-Waxman patent infringement lawsuit. However, if CPEX is unsuccessful in obtaining an injunction to keep Upsher-Smith’s proposed version of Testim® off the market until the patent protection expires, or in defending the ‘968 Patent covering Testim®, sales of Testim®, and royalties relating to Testim® sales could be materially reduced.

 

Watson Litigation: On May 23, 2012, Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Auxilium") and FCB I LLC ("FCB") filed a lawsuit against Watson Laboratories, Inc.; Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Watson Pharma, Inc. (collectively, "Watson") for infringement of FCB's ten patents listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA's") Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (commonly known as the "Orange Book") as covering Testim® 1% testosterone gel.  The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

 

Auxilium and FCB filed this lawsuit in response to a notice letter, dated April 12, 2012, sent by Watson Laboratories, Inc. regarding its filing with the FDA of ANDA No. 09-1073 for a generic 1% testosterone gel product.  This letter also stated that ANDA No. 09-1073 contained Paragraph IV certifications, under 21 U.S.C. Section 355(j) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, with respect to the nine patents listed in the Orange Book on that date as covering Testim®: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,320,968; 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; and 8,063,029.  On May 15, 2012, a new composition patent covering Testim® issued.  This patent is now also listed in the Orange Book and was included in the patent infringement lawsuit filed against Watson.  In total, ten Testim® patents are now listed in the Orange Book and will expire at various dates ranging from July 21, 2023 through January 18, 2025.

XSTELOS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

 

On July 6, 2012, Watson filed its answer to the patent infringement complaint filed by Auxilium and FCB.  Watson also asserted counterclaims against Auxilium and FCB, which seek declaratory judgments that each of the ten patents-in-suit are invalid or are not infringed by Watson's proposed generic 1% testosterone gel product.  Auxilium and FCB's reply to Watson's counterclaims was filed on July 30, 2012.  On July 30, 2012, the parties entered into a stipulation wherein Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson Pharma, Inc. were dismissed without prejudice from this lawsuit and agreed to be bound by any stipulation, judgment, order, or decision rendered as to Watson Laboratories, Inc., including any appeals and any order granting preliminary or permanent injunctive relief against Watson Laboratories, Inc.

 

The case is presently in the early stages of fact discovery, and a trial date has not yet been set. On October 22, 2012, Auxilium and FCB disclosed to Watson the claims from the ten patents-in-suit that they assert are infringed. On October 29, 2012, Watson served its invalidity and noninfringement contentions on Auxilium and FCB. Auxilium and FCB will serve their responsive infringement and validity contentions on December 13, 2012. The parties' initial case scheduling conference with the court occurred on November 9, 2012.

 

Auxilium and FCB remain committed to protecting their intellectual property rights, including their patent protection for Testim®. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, as a result of the patent infringement lawsuit filed against Watson, final FDA approval of Watson's ANDA for its proposed generic version of Testim® will be stayed until at least the earlier of 30 months from the date Watson's notice letter was received (i.e., October 14, 2014) or final resolution of the pending patent infringement lawsuit.

 

11. Cash Distributions

 

On September 27, 2012, FCB Holdings declared and paid a cash dividend totaling $9.0 million, of which Xstelos Corp received $7.2 million and the Investment Holding Company received $1.8 million which is reflected in the September 30, 2012 financial statements.

 

12. Subsequent Events

 

On October 9, 2012, FCB Holdings declared and paid a cash dividend totaling $1.0 million, of which Xstelos Corp received $0.8 million and the Investment Holding Company received $0.2 million.

 

On November 8, 2012, Xstelos Corp received a special cash dividend totaling $2.4 million from their marketable security investment, which was offset by a comparable decline in market value of the investment.

Results of Operations – Three months ended September 30, 2012 versus Three months ended October 1, 2011

 

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for Xstelos Corp for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the three months ended October 1, 2011 (in thousands) (inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on revenues or results from operations in the two years):

   Three Months Ended     
   September 30, 2012   October 1, 2011   Change   % (+-) 
       (Predecessor Company)         
ROYALTY REVENUE  $6,756   $6,561   $195    3.0%

Gain / (Loss) on marketable securities   411    -    411    -100.0%
Loss on disposal of non-operating assets   (4)   -    (4)   -100.0%
EARNINGS (LOSS) FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES   2,298    1,401    897    64.0%
Income tax  expense (benefit)   (21,064)   64    21,128    33,012.5%
EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS  $23,362   $1,337   $22,025    1,647.30%

 

Royalty Revenue

 

Royalty revenue increased $0.2 million, or 3.0%, to $6.8 million for three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $6.6 million for three months ended October 1, 2011 due to increased sales volume by Auxilium of Testim®, on which royalty revenue is earned.

 

SG&A Expenses

 

SG&A expenses increased $0.1 million, or 3.0%, to $1.3 million for three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $1.2 million for three months ended October 1, 2011. The increase is due to higher legal expenses in 2012, primarily related to increased litigation expense relating to the Watson Laboratories case (see note 10).

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $0.01 million, or 1.2%, to $1.01 million for three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $1.00 million for three months ended October 1, 2011. This increase is solely due to depreciation expense for assets held in use, previously not depreciated, as they were classified as assets held for sale, prior to the third quarter 2012.

 

31
 

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income increased $0.2 million, or 3.4% to $4.5 million for three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with a $4.3 million for three months ended October 1, 2011, primarily due to the increased royalty revenue offset by higher legal expenses, as described above.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 10.4%, to $2.6 million for three months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $2.9 million for three months ended October 1, 2011. The decrease is exclusively due to a lower principal loan balance in 2012.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company recognized a gain in market value of approximately $411,000 due to an increase in the stock price per share of the marketable securities.

 

Income Tax

 

The Company reversed the previously recorded valuation allowance resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $21.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. This decision was based primarily on the actual earnings from CPEX operations since the date of acquisition in April 2011 and the forecasted performance of CPEX.

 

Results of Operations –Nine months ended September 30, 2012 versus Nine months ended October 1, 2011

 

The following is a discussion of the results of operations for Xstelos Corp for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the nine months ended October 1, 2011 (in thousands) (inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on revenues or results from operations in the two years):

 

   Nine Months Ended

Royalty Revenue

 

Royalty revenue increased $9.2 million, or 74.3%, to $21.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $12.4 million for nine months ended October 1, 2011. The increase is due to increased sales volume by Auxilium of Testim®, on which royalty revenue is earned, and that 2011 only includes six months of royalty revenue, as CPEX was purchased on April 5, 2011.

 

SG&A Expenses

 

SG&A expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 24.6%, to $3.8 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $5.1 million for nine months ended October 1, 2011. The decrease is predominately due to greater compensation costs and legal and professional expenses in 2011 related to the acquisition of CPEX, partially offset by increased legal expense relating to Watson litigation in 2012.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $1.1 million, or 53.8%, to $3.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $2.0 million for nine months ended October 1, 2011. This increase is due to additional depreciation expense for assets held in use, previously not depreciated, as they were classified as assets held for sale, prior to the second quarter 2012, and that 2011 only includes six months of amortization expense of intangible assets comprised of CPEX’s patents and related license agreement associated with Testim®, as CPEX was purchased on April 5, 2011.

 

Operating Income

 

Operating income increased $9.4 million, or 179.1% to $14.6 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with a $5.2 million for nine months ended October 1, 2011, primarily due to the increased royalty revenue and decreased legal and professional expenses, offset by greater amortization and depreciation expense, as described above.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased $2.1 million, or 40.9%, to $8.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $5.9 million for nine months ended October 1, 2011. This increase is due to the fact that 2011 only includes six months of interest expense, partially offset by lower annual interest expense in 2012 associated with lower principal loan balance during 2012.

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company recognized a loss in market value of approximately $0.1 million due to reduction in the stock price per share of the marketable securities.

 

33
 

 

Sale of Real Estate

 

On April 27, 2012, the Company sold its Mahwah Real Estate for approximately $14.6 million less selling and other costs of approximately $0.8 million, and recognized a gain of approximately $7.7 million.

 

Disposal of Non-Operation Assets

 

In June 2012, the Company signed a five year lease of its Exeter real estate. As a result of preparing the building for this lease, management disposed of approximately $134,000 of furniture and equipment that were stored in the Exeter building, and recorded a corresponding loss. This loss was offset by a gain from the sale of equipment of approximately $14,000.

 

Income Tax

 

The Company reversed the previously recorded valuation allowance resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $21.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decision was based primarily on the actual earnings from CPEX operations since the date of acquisition in April 2011 and the forecasted performance of CPEX.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22.0 million, which, along with the royalties from Testim® pursuant to the licensing agreement with Auxilium, we believe will be sufficient to fund our operations and our cash requirements for the next twelve months, and beyond. Our cash includes balances maintained in commercial bank accounts. There can be no assurance that changes in our research and development plans or other events affecting our revenues or operating expenses will not result in the earlier depletion of our funds. In appropriate situations, which will be strategically determined, we may seek funding from other sources, including, but not limited to, contribution by others to joint ventures and other collaborative or licensing arrangements for the development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of products currently under development or sales of debt or equity securities.

 

On April 5, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of CPEX, FCB LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of FCB Acquisition, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of CPEX upon FCB Acquisition’s merger with and into CPEX, borrowed approximately $64 million under the Term Loan Agreement. The term loan under the Term Loan Agreement bears interest at “LIBOR” plus 16% per annum, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1%, and matures on the earlier of January 3, 2026 or the date any of CPEX’s patents that are associated with Testim®, a topical testosterone gel, expire, and contains customary events of default for loans of such nature. As part of the Term Loan Agreement, CPEX contributed to FCB LLC all of its intellectual property rights in Testim® and rights to the royalty stream pursuant to the license agreement with Auxilium, and the loan is secured by FCB LLC’s interest in all such rights. Repayment of the loan is made through a waterfall arrangement whereby, if certain conditions are met, the Testim® royalty stream is distributed on a quarterly basis as follows: first to pay certain fees and expenses of Agent and FCB LLC, second to pay fees of the banks maintaining the accounts associated with the loan, third to pay any expenses of Agent used to protect the loan collateral and any other unreimbursed fees or expenses of Agent or any Lender, fourth to replenish any shortfall in the interest reserve (which is $2.5 million), fifth to pay interest due, sixth to pay 65% of the remaining royalty funds to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as payment toward loan principal, and finally to FCB LLC for its benefit.

 

34
 

 

Our largest source and use of cash were financing and investing related to the CPEX acquisition. The Company generated positive cash flow from operations due to our acquisition of CPEX.

 

As of September 30, 2012 accounts receivable, consisting of a royalty receivable, totaled $6.8 million. These receivables all are generally collected within three months after the respective calendar quarter.

Net cash provided by operating activities for nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $11.2 million, directly related to net earnings of $35.6 million, adding $3.1 million of amortization, which was partially offset by $7.7 million gain on sale of real estate and $21.2 million deferred tax benefit, and increased by $1.3 million due to other miscellaneous items. Net cash provided by operating activities for nine months ended October 1, 2011 was $3.0 million, primarily consisting of net earnings of $19.9 million, adding $2.0 million of amortization, which was partially offset by a $19.5 million deferred tax benefit, and increased by $0.6 million due to other miscellaneous items.

 

Cash provided by investing activities was $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was primarily due to the proceeds received from the sale of real estate, compared to a use of $59.5 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, which was used solely used to acquire CPEX.

 

Cash used in financing activities was $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was used to repay debt under the term loan agreement related to the CPEX Transaction and pay dividends, compared to cash provided from financing activities of $59.2 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2011, pursuant to initial debt financing under the Term Loan Agreement related to the CPEX Transaction.

 

Factors that could affect our short and long term liquidity include, among other items, the amount of royalties received from Auxilium and the payment of any further dividends or distributions.

 

Long term debt

 

The term loan under the Term Loan Agreement bears interest at “LIBOR” plus 16% per annum, with a minimum LIBOR rate of 1%, and matures on the earlier of January 3, 2026 or the date any of CPEX’s patents that are associated with Testim®, a topical testosterone gel, expire, and contains customary events of default for loans of such nature. The loan was issued at a discount of 2.34%. The original issue discount (OID) was $1.5 million. The OID is equal to the difference between the stated face amount of the loan and actual cash received. This OID is being amortized over the estimated life of the loan, approximately 6 years, using the effective interest rate method, and is recorded as a component within non-cash interest expense. The loan is collateralized by patents and a license agreement associated with Testim®, that were acquired in the CPEX transaction. The loan agreement requires certain financial reporting and non financial covenants.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Royalties Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts

 

When necessary, receivable balances are reported net of an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Estimated uncollectible receivables are based on the amount and status of past due accounts, contractual terms with customers, the credit worthiness of customers and the history of uncollectible accounts. Royalties receivable as of September 30, 2012, and related revenues from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2012, are royalties due from its licensee, Auxilium for sales of Testim®. All receivables are uncollateralized and therefore are subject to credit risk.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Costs incurred in connection with acquiring licenses, patents, and other proprietary rights are capitalized as intangible assets. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable useful life from the dates of acquisition. Such assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired, by comparing the carrying amounts to their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, and adjustments are made for any diminution in value below the carrying value.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on operating loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect enacted changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.

 

The Company determined the deferred tax provision under the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using currently enacted tax rates.

 

The Company reviews the valuation of deferred tax assets based on positive evidence, such as projections of future taxable earnings along with negative evidence, such as operational uncertainties. As a result, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will be realized as of September 30, 2012, based primarily on the actual earnings from CPEX operations since the date of acquisition in April 2011, and the forecasted performance of CPEX, and reduced the previously recorded valuation allowance resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $21.2 million for the three and nine months then ended.

Revenue Recognition

 

CPEX recognizes revenue from royalties on Auxilium’s sales of Testim in accordance with The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-10-S99-1, which requires sales to be recorded upon delivery, provided that there is evidence of a final arrangement, there are no uncertainties surrounding acceptance, title has passed, collectability is reasonably assured and the price is fixed or determinable. Since 2003, Auxilium has sold Testim to pharmaceutical wholesalers and chain drug stores, which have the right to return purchased products prior to the units being dispensed through patient prescriptions. Based on historical experience, CPEX is able to reasonably estimate future product returns on sales of Testim and as a result, did not defer Testim royalties for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 or the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on fair value measurements. This newly issued accounting standard clarifies the application of certain existing fair value measurement guidance and expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This accounting standard is effective on a prospective basis for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to the Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The new requirements are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and interim and annual periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Contingencies and Litigation

 

Litigation Matters

 

The Company is involved in various and routine litigation matters, which arise through the normal course of business. While it firmly maintains that all pending claims are meritless, the Company will, however, continue to expend costs as it vigorously defends against these claims.

 

Thom McAn: In connection with Xstelos Corp’s discontinued operations in 1995, Xstelos Corp entered into a sublease formerly occupied by its Thom McAn stores. The lease expires effective February 1, 2014. Xstelos Corp believes that there has been a novation of its obligations under such lease and may bring litigation to have a court finally determine such issue. At this time, Xstelos Corp has not recorded a liability relating to this commitment as the probability of an unfavorable outcome is remote.

Upsher-Smith Litigation: In October 2008, CPEX and Auxilium received notice that Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc. (“Upsher-Smith”) had filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application, or ANDA containing a paragraph IV certification in which Upsher-Smith certified that it believes its proposed generic version of Testim® does not infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,320,968 (the “968 Patent”). The ‘968 Patent claims a method for maintaining effective blood serum testosterone levels for treating a hypogonadal male, and will expire in January 2025. The ‘968 Patent is listed for Testim® in Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (commonly known as the Orange Book), published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Upsher-Smith’s paragraph IV certification sets forth allegations that the ‘968 Patent will not be infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of its proposed generic product as set forth in its ANDA No. 79-178. On December 4, 2008, CPEX and Auxilium filed a Hatch-Waxman infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (“the Court”) against Upsher-Smith seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. The Court docketed this case as Civil Action No. 08-908-SLR. In June 2009, Upsher-Smith amended its answer to the complaint to include a defense and counterclaim of invalidity of the ‘968 Patent, which CPEX and Auxilium have denied in a reply to the counterclaim filed in July 2009. A patent issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), such as the ‘968 Patent, is presumed valid. As of the date of this filing, the lawsuit remains pending; however, the case was administratively closed in December of 2011 and will remain closed until further order of the Court.

 

CPEX has filed continuation and divisional applications with the USPTO relating to the ‘968 Patent. Nine patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; 8,063,029; and 8,178,518 were issued from these applications, which may provide further market protection. Each of these nine patents has been listed in the Orange Book with respect to Testim®. In April 2012, Auxilium and CPEX received a paragraph IV notice letter for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,320,968; 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; and 8,063,029 in which USL certified that it believes that its proposed generic product does not infringe these patents.  At this time, only the ’968 Patent is in the Delaware lawsuit discussed above.

 

On September 10, 2012, Upsher-Smith filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Auxilium and FCB, seeking declaratory judgment that its ANDA No. 79-178 does not infringe eight of the ten patents listed in the Orange Book as covering Testim® as well as a declaration of invalidity as to these patents U.S. Patent Nos. 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; and 8,063,029. On October 12, 2012, Auxilium and FCB filed a motion to dismiss Upsher-Smith's declaratory judgment complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or alternately, to transfer that case to the District of Delaware. Upsher-Smith's Opposition to this motion was received on November 7, 2012. Auxilium’s and FCB's Reply to Upsher-Smith’s Opposition is due on November 16, 2012.

 

CPEX and its affiliates will vigorously pursue the Hatch-Waxman patent infringement lawsuit. However, if CPEX is unsuccessful in obtaining an injunction to keep Upsher-Smith’s proposed version of Testim® off the market until the patent protection expires, or in defending the ‘968 Patent covering Testim®, sales of Testim® and royalties relating to Testim® sales could be materially reduced.

Watson Litigation: On May 23, 2012, Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Auxilium") and FCB I LLC ("FCB") filed a lawsuit against Watson Laboratories, Inc.; Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; and Watson Pharma, Inc. (collectively, "Watson") for infringement of FCB's ten patents listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA's") Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (commonly known as the "Orange Book") as covering Testim® 1% testosterone gel.  The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

 

Auxilium and FCB filed this lawsuit in response to a notice letter, dated April 12, 2012, sent by Watson Laboratories, Inc. regarding its filing with the FDA of ANDA No. 09-1073 for a generic 1% testosterone gel product.  This letter also stated that ANDA No. 09-1073 contained Paragraph IV certifications, under 21 U.S.C. Section 355(j) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, with respect to the nine patents listed in the Orange Book on that date as covering Testim®: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,320,968; 7,608,605; 7,608,606; 7,608,607; 7,608,608; 7,608,609; 7,608,610; 7,935,690; and 8,063,029.  On May 15, 2012, a new composition patent covering Testim® issued.  This patent is now also listed in the Orange Book and was included in the patent infringement lawsuit filed against Watson.  In total, ten Testim® patents are now listed in the Orange Book and will expire at various dates ranging from July 21, 2023 through January 18, 2025.

 

On July 6, 2012, Watson filed its answer to the patent infringement complaint filed by Auxilium and FCB.  Watson also asserted counterclaims against Auxilium and FCB, which seek declaratory judgments that each of the ten patents-in-suit are invalid or are not infringed by Watson's proposed generic 1% testosterone gel product.  Auxilium and FCB's reply to Watson's counterclaims was filed on July 30, 2012.  On July 30, 2012, the parties entered into a stipulation wherein Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Watson Pharma, Inc. were dismissed without prejudice from this lawsuit and agreed to be bound by any stipulation, judgment, order, or decision rendered as to Watson Laboratories, Inc., including any appeals and any order granting preliminary or permanent injunctive relief against Watson Laboratories, Inc.

 

The case is presently in the early stages of fact discovery, and a trial date has not yet been set. On October 22, 2012, Auxilium and FCB disclosed to Watson the claims from the ten patents-in-suit that they assert are infringed. On October 29, 2012, Watson served its invalidity and noninfringement contentions on Auxilium and FCB. Auxilium and FCB will serve their responsive infringement and validity contentions on December 13, 2012. The parties' initial case scheduling conference with the court occurred on November 9, 2012.

 

Auxilium and FCB remain committed to protecting their intellectual property rights, including their patent protection for Testim®. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, as a result of the patent infringement lawsuit filed against Watson, final FDA approval of Watson's ANDA for its proposed generic version of Testim® will be stayed until at least the earlier of 30 months from the date Watson's notice letter was received (i.e., October 14, 2014) or final resolution of the pending patent infringement lawsuit.

Impact of Inflation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Our interest obligations for our long term debt, representing 50% of total assets as of September 30, 2012, are primarily market driven. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the ability to pay interest and current maturities on our long-term debt is critical. The principal effect of inflation on earnings, as distinct from levels of interest rates, is in the area of non-interest expense. Expense items such as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the interest due on our long-term debt. We are unable to determine the inflationary impact on interest to the extent, if any, to which we owe on our long-term debt.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has established controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. With the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
