Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Lipocine Inc. (“Lipocine” or the “Company”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are comprised of the financial statements of Lipocine and its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the Company. In management's opinion, the interim financial data presented includes all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items) necessary for fair presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or for the year ending December 31, 2014.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to reporting of the assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year numbers to conform to the current year presentation.

Merger Agreement

The Merger is accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Lipocine Operating is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and Marathon Bar is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of Lipocine Operating and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Lipocine Operating, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets, liabilities and operations of Marathon Bar and Lipocine Operating (“Combined Company”), from the closing date of the Merger. Therefore, the historical equity accounts and awards of Lipocine, including par value per share, share and per share numbers included in the 2012 financial statements, have been adjusted to reflect the number of shares received in the Merger.

(3)

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was calculated using the two-class method, which is an earnings (loss) allocation method for computing earnings (loss) per share when an entity’s capital structure includes common stock and participating securities. The two-class method determines earnings (losses) per share based on dividends declared on common stock and participating securities (i.e., distributed earnings) and participation rights of participating securities in any undistributed earnings (loss). The application of the two-class method was required since the Company’s unvested restricted stock contains non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. However, unvested restricted stock grants are not included in computing basic earnings (loss) per share for periods where the Company has losses as these securities are not contractually obligated to share in losses of the Company.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus, where applicable, the additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding related to dilutive options, warrants, restricted stock units and unvested restricted stock to the extent such shares are dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Diluted loss per share attributable to common stock	$	(0.55	)	$	(0.31	)	$	(0.96	)	$	(0.61	)

The computation of diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 does not include the following unvested restricted stock, unvested restricted stock units, stock options and warrants to purchase shares in the computation of diluted loss per share because these instruments were antidilutive:

	June 30,
	2014	2013
Stock options	1,276,907	1,168,372
Unvested resticted stock	12,000	90,717
Unvested resticted stock units	15,000	-
Warrants	20,467	20,467

(4)

Fair Value

For prepaid and other current assets, related-party receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. At June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) consist of the following at December 31, 2013:

			Fair value measurements at reporting date using
	December 31, 2013		Level 1 inputs		Level 2 inputs		Level 3 inputs

Assets:
Cash equivalents-money market funds	$	1,933,480	$	1,933,480	$	-	$	-
	$	1,933,480	$	1,933,480	$	-	$	-

The following methods and assumptions were used to determine the fair value of each class of assets recorded at fair value in the balance sheets:

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents primarily consist of highly rated money market funds with original maturities to the Company of three months or less, and are purchased daily at par value with specified yield rates. Due to the high ratings and short-term nature of the funds, the Company considers all cash equivalents as Level 1.

(5)

Income Taxes

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s effective tax rate for the full year adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, net of expected reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, as it believes it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

(6)

Collaborative Agreements

(a)

Abbott Products, Inc.

On March 29, 2012, the Company terminated its collaborative agreement with Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (later acquired by Abbott Products, Inc.). As part of the termination, the Company reacquired the rights to the intellectual property from Abbott. All obligations under the prior license agreement have been completed except that Lipocine will owe Abbott a perpetual 1.5% royalty on net sales should Lipocine decide to use certain Solvay/Abbott formulations or a perpetual 1% royalty on net sales should Lipocine use data generated during the term of the Solvay/Abbott agreement in any regulatory filings for a product. Such royalties are limited to $1.0 million in the first two calendar years following product launch, after which period there is not a cap on royalties and no maximum aggregate amount. If generic versions of any such product are introduced, then royalties are reduced by 50%. The Company did not incur any royalties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

(b)

Nexgen Pharma, Inc.

On May 21, 2011, the Company entered into a collaborative product development agreement with Nexgen Pharma, Inc. (“Nexgen”). Under the agreement, the parties agreed to jointly develop certain products for the treatment of coughs and colds and to share future revenues from those products. Nexgen agreed to reimburse the Company at cost for all future clinical costs incurred in the development of the products. The Company is responsible for certain new drug application (“NDA”) filing costs with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) under terms of this contract and, additionally, will participate on a joint steering committee with Nexgen for the development, regulatory, and manufacturing strategy of product candidates. On July 23, 2013, the Company transferred all rights and obligations under this agreement to Spriaso, LLC ("Spriaso") (see note 10). As a result, the Company was not entitled to reimbursement for any amounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, while Nexgen reimbursed the Company for a total of $93,000 and $468,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 for related expenses under the agreement, which the Company recorded, net, as research and development expense.

(c)

Contract Research and Development

The Company has entered into agreements with various contract organizations that conduct preclinical, clinical, analytical and manufacturing development work on behalf of the Company as well as a number of independent contractors, primarily clinical researchers, who serve as advisors to the Company. The Company incurred expenses of $5.4 million and $31,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $8.1 million and $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 under these agreements.

(7)

Leases

On August 6, 2004, the Company assumed a noncancelable operating lease for office space and laboratory facilities. Under the lease the Company pays a pro-rata share of property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance.

Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of June 30, 2014 are:

	Operating
	leases
Year ending December 31:
2014	$	142,520
2015		285,756
2016		294,373
2017		303,119
2018		51,903
Total minimum lease payments	$	1,077,671

The Company’s rent expense was $77,000 and $91,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $177,000 and $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Stockholders’ Equity

(a)

Share-Based Payments

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for grants of stock option awards, restricted stock units and restricted stock under the Company’s Incentive Plan to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s board of directors based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of an award is generally recognized as compensation expense over the award’s requisite service period. In addition, the Company has granted performance-based stock option awards and restricted stock grants, which vest based upon the Company satisfying certain performance conditions. Potential compensation cost, measured on the grant date, related to these performance options will be recognized only if, and when, the Company estimates that these options will vest, which is based on whether the Company considers the options’ performance conditions to be probable of attainment. The Company’s estimates of the number of performance-based options that will vest will be revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods. In addition, the Company grants stock options to nonemployee consultants from time to time in exchange for services performed for the Company. Equity instruments granted to nonemployees are subject to periodic measurement revaluation over their vesting terms.

On January 6, 2014, the Company modified 366,126 existing time-vested and performance options as well as restricted stock awards of two retiring board of directors by fully vesting all unvested equity awards and extending the exercise period to three years from the date of modification. Compensation expense of $836,000 was recorded as a result of the modification. Additionally on January 31, 2013, the Company modified 907,336 existing time-vested and performance stock options by lowering the exercise price to $2.81. Additionally, the Company modified the vesting terms for its unvested performance stock options and unvested restricted stock to vest on the earlier of the first dosing in the pivotal clinical study for its lead drug candidate, or 50% on January 31, 2014 and 50% on January 31, 2015. Compensation expense of $422,000 was recorded as a result of the modifications. In August 2013, the Company determined that it was probable that the performance milestone related to these unvested stock options and restricted stock awards would occur. As a result, the remaining compensation expense between the date the milestone became probable and the expected milestone date of February 2014 was recognized ratably over that period.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to compute the estimated fair value of stock option awards. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to (i) expected volatility of the Company’s common stock price, (ii) the periods of time over which employees and members of the board of directors are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected term), (iii) expected dividend yield on the Common Stock, and (iv) risk-free interest rates. Stock-based compensation expense also includes an estimate, which is made at the time of grant, of the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited. This estimate is revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation cost that has been expensed in the statements of operations amounted to $169,000 and $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $1.2 million and $598,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, allocated as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Research and development	$	55,249	$	37,463	$	270,664	$	189,720
General and administrative		113,491		80,717		943,462		408,766
	$	168,740	$	118,180	$	1,214,126	$	598,486

The Company issued 6,000 and zero stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and 37,500 and 234,137 stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of stock options granted are as follows:

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Due to limited historical experience of similar awards, the expected term was estimated using the simplified method in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment, for awards with stated or implied service periods. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period of the stock option. For awards with performance conditions, and that have the contractual term to satisfy the performance condition, the contractual term was used.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: The risk-free interest rate used was based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term.

Expected Dividend: The expected dividend assumption is based on management’s current expectation about the Company’s anticipated dividend policy. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

Expected Volatility: Since the Company does not have sufficient trading history, the volatility factor was based on the average of similar public companies. When selecting similar companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage.

For options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company calculated the fair value of each option grant on the respective dates of grant using the following weighted average assumptions:

	2014
Expected term		6.04		years
Risk-free interest rate		1.93	%
Expected dividend yield		—
Expected volatility		73.09	%

FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for the portion of options that are expected to vest. Therefore, the Company applied estimated forfeiture rates that were derived from historical employee termination behavior. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

As of June 30, 2014, there was approximately $687,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company’s Incentive Plan. The cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized at any point in time is at least equal to the portion of the award that is vested at that date. The weighted average fair value of share-based compensation awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $5.20 and $1.73, respectively.

(b)

Stock Option Plan

In April 2014, the board of directors adopted the 2014 Stock and Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan") subject to shareholder approval which was received in June 2014. The 2014 Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock and dividend equivalents. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan. Additionally, 271,906 remaining authorized shares under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan ("2011 Plan") are issuable under the 2014 Plan. In January 2011, the board of directors adopted the 2011 Plan that provides for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. The 2011 Plan assumed all of the obligations, which existed under the previous 2000 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2011 Plan, the Company has granted nonqualified and incentive stock options for the purchase of common stock to directors, employees and nonemployees providing services to the Company. The board of directors, on an option-by-option basis, determines the number of shares, exercise price, term, and vesting period. Options granted generally have a ten-year contractual life. An aggregate of 1,271,906 shares are authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan, with 1,271,906 shares remaining available for grant as of June 30, 2014.

A summary of stock option activity is as follows:

	Outstanding stock options
	Number of shares			Weighted average exercise price

Restricted Common Stock

In 2010, the Company issued 112,720 shares of restricted common stock to employees. Ten percent of the issued restricted common stock vested on December 31, 2011. The remaining ninety percent of the restricted shares were modified on January 31, 2013 to vest on the earlier of the first dosing in the pivotal clinical study for its lead drug candidate, or 50% on January 31, 2014 and 50% on January 31, 2015.

In June 2013, the Company accelerated the vesting and repurchased a combined total of 8,625 shares of restricted common stock from six employees at a price of $6.16 per share. The acceleration of the vesting resulted in the recognition of $16,437 in stock-based compensation expense. The repurchased shares were retired during the reverse merger and charged against additional paid-in-capital (see note 2).

In September 2013, the Company issued 12,000 shares of restricted common stock to an employee. These shares vest over time with one-third vesting on the one-year anniversary of award, with the balance vesting monthly on a pro-rata basis over the subsequent two years.

Additionally, restricted shares issued to two members of the board of directors were further modified upon their retirement on January 6, 2014 to fully vest unvested restricted shares. Compensation expense was recorded as a result of the modifications (see note 8(a)). The grant date fair value of these shares when issued was $5.75 per share. The Company includes unvested restricted stock in outstanding shares for financial reporting purposes when the awards vest.

A summary of restricted common stock activity is as follows:

	Number of unvested restricted shares
Balance at December 31, 2013	103,784
Granted	-
Vested	(91,784	)

Spriaso, LLC

On July 23, 2013, the Company entered into an assignment/license and a services agreement with Spriaso, a related-party that is majority-owned by the current and former directors of Lipocine Inc. and their affiliates. Under the license agreement, the Company assigned and transferred to Spriaso all of the Company’s rights, title and interest in its intellectual property to develop products for the cough and cold field. In addition, Spriaso received all rights and obligations under the Company’s product development agreement with Nexgen. In exchange, the Company will receive a royalty of 20 percent of the net proceeds received by Spriaso, up to a maximum of $10.0 million. Spriaso also granted back to the Company an exclusive license to such intellectual property to develop products outside of the cough and cold field. Under the service agreement, the Company will provide facilities and up to 10 percent of the services of certain employees to Spriaso for a period of up to 12 months with an ability to extend for another six months. On July 23, 2014, Spriaso notified the Company of its intention of extending the service agreement for another six months. The Company may provide additional services to be charged at cost to Spriaso. Spriaso may file its first NDA prior to the Company filing its first NDA and as an affiliated entity it will use up the one-time waiver for user fees for a small business submitting its first human drug application to the FDA. Spriaso is considered a variable interest entity under the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810-10, Consolidations, however the Company is not the primary beneficiary and has therefore not consolidated Spriaso.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from the Contracts with Customers. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to do so, an entity would follow the five-step process for in-scope transactions: 1) identify the contract with a customer, 2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For public entities, the provisions of the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The Company is in the process of determining our approach to the adoption of this new revenue recognition standard, as well as the anticipated impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this report. For additional context with which to understand our financial condition and results of operations, see the management discussion and analysis included in our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014, as well as the financial statements and related notes contained therein.

On July 24, 2013, Marathon Bar Corp. (“Marathon Bar”), a Delaware corporation and MBAR Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Bar, and Lipocine Operating Inc. (“Lipocine Operating”), a privately held company incorporated in Delaware, executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Lipocine Operating and Lipocine Operating was the surviving entity. Additionally pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Marathon Bar changed its name to Lipocine Inc. The Merger is accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization. Lipocine Operating is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and Marathon Bar is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of Lipocine Operating and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Lipocine Operating, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets, liabilities and operations of Marathon Bar and Lipocine Operating (“Combined Company”), from the closing date of the Merger. Additionally all historical equity accounts of Lipocine Operating, including par value per share, share and per share numbers , have been adjusted to reflect the number of shares received in the Merger.

As used in the discussion below, “we,” “our,” and “us” refers to the historical financial results of Lipocine.

Overview of Our Business

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on applying our oral drug delivery technology for the development of pharmaceutical products in the area of men’s and women’s health. Our proprietary delivery technology is designed to improve patient compliance and safety through orally available treatment options. Our primary development programs are based on oral delivery solutions for poorly bioavailable drugs. We have a portfolio of proprietary product candidates designed to produce favorable pharmacokinetic characteristics and facilitate lower dosing requirements, bypass first-pass metabolism, reduce side effects, and eliminate gastrointestinal interactions that limit bioavailability. Our lead product LPCN 1021 is an oral testosterone replacement therapy (“TRT”) product designed for convenient twice-a-day dosing. We have completed enrollment of patients in our Study of Oral Androgen Replacement, or SOAR, a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study with LPCN 1021 and expect to release top-line efficacy results from this trial in the third quarter of 2014 and final results in the first half of 2015. Assuming successful data from the SOAR trial is achieved, we plan to file our NDA with the FDA in the second half of 2015. Additionally, we have two earlier stage product candidates in our pipeline, a next generation once-a-day oral testosterone therapy, LPCN 1111, and an oral product for the prevention of preterm birth, LPCN 1107.

We completed a successful Phase 2 study for LPCN 1021 that produced results in line with FDA guidelines for approval of TRT. The primary outcome of the trial, serum testosterone levels in the eugonadal range, was met and there were no significant adverse events or changes in serum cholesterol levels or liver enzymes. Lipocine presented the results of this study and a Phase 3 protocol synopsis to the FDA in November 2012 and obtained clear guidance on the requirements for a LPCN 1021 new drug application ("NDA") filing, with no additional pre-clinical studies required. We have patent protection for LPCN 1021 through January 2029. We licensed LPCN 1021 to Solvay, in May 2009. Solvay was subsequently acquired by Abbott. We reacquired the rights to LPCN 1021 from Abbott in March 2012. All obligations under the prior license agreement have been completed except that Lipocine will owe Abbott a perpetual 1.5% royalty on net sales should Lipocine decide to use certain Solvay/Abbott formulations or a perpetual 1% royalty on net sales should Lipocine use data generated during the term of the Solvay/Abbott agreement in any regulatory filings for a product. Such royalties are limited to $1 million in the first two calendar years following product launch, after which period there is not a cap on royalties and no maximum aggregate amount. If generic versions of any such product are introduced, then royalties are reduced by 50%.

LPCN 1111 is a next-generation, novel ester prodrug of testosterone which uses the Lip’ral technology to enhance solubility and improve systemic absorption. A Phase 1 single dose randomized, open label, crossover study in 8 postmenopausal women has been completed and the pharmacokinetics suggested feasibility of either once-daily dosing or twice daily dosing with higher Cavg. We completed a pre-IND meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2013 in which we broadly discussed the requirements for an IND filing for LPCN 1111. In May 2014, we initiated a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study in hypogonadal men and expect efficacy results in the second half of 2014. We expect to initiate a Phase 2b dose finding study in hypogonadal men in either the fourth quarter of 2014 or first quarter of 2015.

We believe LPCN 1107 has the potential to become the first oral hydroxyprogesterone caproate ("HPC") product indicated for the prevention of preterm birth in women with a prior history of at least one preterm birth. We successfully completed a proof-of-concept Phase 1 clinical study of LPCN 1107 in healthy women in May 2014. The study was designed to determine the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of LPCN 1107 relative to an intramuscular ("IM") HPC, as well as safety and tolerability, in healthy non-pregnant female volunteers. Results of this study confirmed our pre-clinical data and suggest meaningful drug levels of HPC can be obtained after oral administration. The product has also completed a 28-day repeat dose toxicity study in dogs. We expect to begin enrolling in a second Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in healthy pregnant women in the second half of 2014.

To date, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and convertible debt and through up-front payments, research funding and milestone payments from our license and collaboration arrangements. We have not generated any revenues from product sales and we do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of LPCN 1021 or other products.

We have incurred losses in most years since our inception. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $60.1 million. Income and losses fluctuate year to year, primarily depending on the timing of recognition of revenues from our license and collaboration agreements. Our net loss was $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Substantially all of our operating losses resulted from expenses incurred in connection with our product candidate development programs, our research activities and general and administrative costs associated with our operations.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for at least the next several years. In the near term, we anticipate that our expenses will increase as we:

•

manufacture registration batches of LPCN 1021;

•

complete our pivotal Phase 3 trial and other pharmacokinetic studies of LPCN 1021 and, if these trials are successful, prepare and file our NDA for LPCN 1021;

•

conduct further clinical development of our other product candidates, including LPCN 1111 and LPCN 1107;

•

continue our research efforts;

•

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and

•

provide general and administrative support for our operations.

To fund future long-term operations we will need to raise additional capital. The amount and timing of future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including capital market conditions, the timing and results of our ongoing development efforts, the potential expansion of our current development programs, potential new development programs and related general and administrative support. We anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as potential license and collaboration agreements. We cannot be certain that anticipated additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. Although we have previously been successful in obtaining financing through our license and collaboration agreements and public and private equity securities offerings, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

To date, we have not generated any revenues from product sales and do not expect to do so for a number of years. Revenues to date have been generated substantially from license fees, milestone payments and research support from our licensees. Since our inception through June 30, 2014, we have generated $27.5 million in revenue under our various license and collaboration arrangements and from government grants. We do not anticipate significant revenue from any license arrangements in the foreseeable future. We may never generate revenues from LPCN 1021 or any of our other clinical or preclinical development programs or licensed products, as we may never succeed in obtaining regulatory approval or commercializing any of these product candidates.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation and related personnel costs, fees paid to external service providers such as contract research organizations and contract manufacturing organizations, contractual obligations for clinical development, clinical sites, manufacturing and scale-up for late-stage clinical trials, formulation of clinical drug supplies, and expenses associated with regulatory submissions. Research and development expenses also include an allocation of indirect costs, such as those for facilities, office expense, travel, and depreciation of equipment based on the ratio of direct labor hours for research and development personnel to total direct labor hours for all personnel. We expense research and development expenses as incurred. Since our inception, we have spent approximately $59.4 million in research and development expenses through June 30, 2014.

We expect our research and developments costs for LPCN 1021 to increase substantially as we conduct our pivotal Phase 3 trial, conduct other pharmacokinetic studies, manufacture registration batches and if appropriate, file an NDA. We believe it will cost approximately $13.1 million to complete this process. However, these expenditures are subject to numerous uncertainties regarding timing and cost to completion.

Completion of our pivotal Phase 3 trial with LPCN1021 may take longer than currently estimated or the FDA may require additional clinical trials or non-clinical studies. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of uncertainties in clinical development, including, among others:

•

the number of sites included in the trials;

•

the length of time required to enroll suitable subjects;

•

the duration of subject follow-ups;

•

the length of time required to collect, analyze and report trial results;

•

the cost, timing and outcome of regulatory review;

•

potential changes by the FDA in clinical trial and NDA filing requirements for testosterone replacement therapies; and

•

unanticipated safety issues that may prolong the Phase 3 trial.

We also expect to incur significant manufacturing costs to prepare validation batches of finished product and customary regulatory costs associated with the preparation and filing of our NDA, if and when submitted, which will be significant. However, these expenditures are subject to numerous uncertainties regarding timing and cost to completion, including, among others:

•

the costs, timing and outcome of our other pharmacokinetic studies and other development activities of LPCN 1021;

•

our dependence on third-party manufacturers for the production of clinical trial materials and satisfactory finished product for registration;

•

the costs and timing of regulatory submission for LPCN 1021 and the outcome of regulatory reviews;

•

the potential for future license arrangements for LPCN 1021, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our future plans and capital requirements; and

•

the effect on our product development activities of action taken by the FDA or other regulatory authorities.

A change of outcome for any of these variables with respect to the development of LPCN 1021 could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with these efforts.

Summary of Research and Development Expense

Our research and development efforts have primarily been focused on LPCN 1021 through the end of 2013. Beginning in 2014, we have on-going clinical trials with all of our three product candidates. Additionally, we incur significant costs for our other research programs. The following table summarizes our research and development expenses:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
External service provider costs:
LPCN 1021	$	4,468,895	$	30,756	$	6,852,195	$	55,257
LPCN 1111		772,785		-		886,571		13,167
LPCN 1107		179,378		-		332,280		-
Other product candidates		7,500		417		15,000		1,623
Total external service provider costs		5,428,558		31,173		8,086,046		70,047
Internal personnel costs		413,726		326,747		1,005,777		792,897
Other research and development costs		131,545		85,937		251,006		226,023
Total research and development	$	5,973,829	$	443,857	$	9,342,829	$	1,088,967

External service provider costs under a collaborative product development agreement are recorded net of reimbursement. In July 2013, we assigned the collaborative agreement to an affiliated entity as described in Note 10 of the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”. As a result, we were not entitled to reimbursement of any amounts under the agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. A total of $93,000 and $468,000 was reimbursed under the agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and recorded net in research and development expense.

Given the early stage of clinical development and the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the clinical development, manufacturing and regulatory approval process, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the time or cost to complete the development of LPCN 1111, LPCN 1107 and other product candidates. Clinical development timelines, the probability of success and development costs can differ materially from expectations and results from our clinical trials may not be favorable. If we are successful in progressing LPCN 1111, LPCN 1107 or other product candidates into later stage development, we will require additional capital. The amount and timing of our future research and development expenses for these product candidates will depend on the preclinical and clinical success of both our current development activities and potential development of new product candidates, as well as ongoing assessments of the commercial potential of such activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related benefits, including stock-based compensation related to our executive, finance, business development and support functions. Other general and administrative expenses include rent and utilities, travel expenses and professional fees for auditing, tax and legal services.

They also include expenses for the cost of preparing, filling and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims.

We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase materially as we mature as a public company. These increases will likely include salaries and related expenses, legal and consulting fees, accounting and audit fees, director fees, increased directors’ and officers’ insurance premiums, fees for investor relations services and enhanced business and accounting systems and other costs. In addition, if our pivotal Phase 3 trial of LPCN 1021 is successful and we then prepare and file our NDA for LPCN 1021, we expect general and administrative expenses to increase as we incur costs of pre-commercialization and, potentially, commercialization activities.

Reverse Merger Costs

Reverse merger costs relate to external expenses associated with our reverse merger with Marathon Bar on July 24, 2013. Reverse merger costs consist primarily of professional fees for accounting, legal, printing and transfer agent services.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Other income, net		37,935		687	37,248
Income tax expense		-		182	(182	)

Research and Development Expenses

The increase in research and development expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in external contract manufacturing, contract research and other outside research and development costs related to our product candidates, primarily LPCN 1021, of $5.4 million.

General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $82,000, including director and officer insurance and Delaware Franchise Tax, and higher personnel costs of $228,000. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to the following: annual bonuses accrued for employees totaling $53,000; an increase of $33,000 in stock-based compensation due to new stock awards in December 2013; salary increases for new general and administrative employees hired after June 30, 2013 $89,000, which includes the addition of our Chief Financial Officer in September 2013; and overall salary increases of general and administrative employees of $34,000.

Reverse Merger Costs

Reverse merger costs incurred during the three months ending June 30, 2013 relate to the Merger with Marathon Bar which closed on July 24, 2013, and were comprised primarily of legal and accounting fees.

Other Income, Net

The increase in other income, net, primarily reflects increased interest earned on a larger balance in cash and cash equivalents as a result of our offerings of common stock in July 2013 and November 2013.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Six months ended June 30,
		2014	2013	Variance
Research and development expenses		9,342,829	1,088,967	8,253,862

Other income, net		63,401	1,211	62,190
Income tax expense		-	294	(294	)

Research and Development Expenses

The increase in research and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in external contract manufacturing, contract research and other outside research and development costs related to our product candidates, primarily LPCN 1021, of $8.0 million and higher personnel costs of $213,000. The increase in personnel cost was primarily due to annual bonuses accrued for employees totaling $95,000, an increase of $80,000 in stock-based compensation due to the acceleration of stock compensation in 2014 on performance based equity awards due to the probability of achieving the milestone and to new stock awards in December 2013 and overall salary increases in 2014 of research and development employees of $38,000.

General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees, including legal, accounting, audit, investor relation services and NASDAQ listing fees of $444,000 as a result of becoming a public company in the third quarter of 2013; increased other general and administrative expenses of $171,000, including director and officer insurance and Delaware Franchise Tax; and higher personnel costs of $925,000. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to the following: annual bonuses accrued for employees totaling $106,000; an increase of $535,000 in stock-based compensation due to the modification of equity awards to retiring members of the board of directors in January 2014, acceleration of stock compensation in 2014 on performance based equity awards due to the probability of achieving the milestone and to new stock awards in December 2013; salary increases for new general and administrative employees in 2014 of $179,000, which includes the addition of our Chief Financial Officer in September 2013; and overall salary increases of general and administrative employees of $68,000.

Reverse Merger Costs

Reverse merger costs incurred during the six months ending June 30, 2013 relate to the Merger with Marathon Bar which closed on July 24, 2013, and were comprised primarily of legal and accounting fees.

Other Income, Net

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, our operations have been primarily financed through sales of our equity and payments received under our license and collaboration arrangements. We have devoted our resources to funding research and development programs, including discovery research, preclinical and clinical development activities. We have incurred operating losses in most years since our inception and we expect to continue to incur operating losses into the foreseeable future as we advance the ongoing development of our lead product candidate LPCN 1021 and further clinical development of LPCN 1111, LPCN 1107 and our other programs and continued research efforts.

As of June 30, 2014 we had $34.2 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $45.3 million at December 31, 2013. We believe that our existing capital resources, together with interest thereon, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements for the next twelve months. While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our projected operating requirements beyond June 30, 2015, we will need to raise additional capital at some point to support our operations, long-term research and development and commercialization of our products. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, our operating plan may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for product development and commercialization sooner than planned. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our product candidates and the extent to which we may enter into additional collaborations with third parties to participate in their development and commercialization, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures associated with our anticipated clinical studies. To fund future operations, we will need to raise additional capital and our requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:

•

the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical studies, preclinical testing and other related activities;

•

the cost of manufacturing clinical supplies, and establishing commercial supplies, of our product candidates and any products that we may develop;

•

the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;

•

the cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory approvals;

•

the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;

•

the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;

•

the timing, receipt and amount of sales, profit sharing or royalties, if any, from our potential products;

•

the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and

•

the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies, although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.

Funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of or suspend one or more of our clinical studies, research and development programs or commercialization efforts. We may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and other marketing and distribution arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we do raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect our stockholders’ rights. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable, for any reason, to raise needed capital, we will have to delay research and development programs, liquidate assets, dispose of rights, commercialize products or product candidates earlier than planned or on less favorable terms than desired or reduce or cease operations.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and $1.7 million for the six months ended June, 2013, an increase of $9.4 million. Included in the increase was a $9.5 million increase in net loss, a $844,000 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a $515,000 increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. The changes were partially offset by a $93,000 decrease in accounts receivable, a $755,000 increase in accrued expenses and a $616,000 increase in stock-based compensation.

Investing Activities

Investing activities consist primarily of the refund of a rental deposit and purchases of property and equipment. We received $21,000 in a refund of our rental deposit when we extended our property lease in May 2014. Additionally, we acquired $2,000 of property and equipment in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Financing Activities

Financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the purchase of treasury stock. We received $16,000 from the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to repurchasing $53,000 of treasury stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

In August 2004, we entered into an agreement to lease our facility in Salt Lake City, Utah consisting of office and laboratory space which serves as our corporate headquarters. On May 6, 2014, the Company agreed to modify and extend the lease through February 28, 2018. Our remaining commitment through 2018 under this lease is $1.1 million.

Other Contractual Obligations

We enter into contracts in the normal course of business with clinical research organizations for clinical trials and clinical supply manufacturing and with vendors for preclinical research studies, research supplies and other services and products for operating purposes. These contracts generally provide for termination on notice, and are cancellable obligations.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no significant and material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” in our Form 10-K dated March 31, 2014.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, consider the risk factors discussed in Part 1, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014 and those risk factors discussed in Part II," Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our first quarter Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 13, 2014, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the aforementioned reports are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that it currently deems to be not material also may materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and or operating results.

The following are the risk factors that have materially changed from our risk factors included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014 and from our risk factors included in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on May 13, 2014:

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

Our research and development programs and processes are at an early stage of development, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects, or predict if or when we will be able to raise needed capital, receive regulatory approval or successfully commercialize our product candidates.

Our operations to date have primarily been limited to conducting research and development activities under license and collaboration agreements. Our current portfolio consists of our lead product candidate LPCN 1021, for which we are currently conducting a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study. We are also developing two additional earlier stage clinical candidates, LPCN 1111 and LPCN 1107. We have never marketed or commercialized a drug product. Consequently, any predictions about our future performance may not be as accurate as they could be if we were further along our commercialization path. In addition, as a pre-commercial stage business, we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors.

Our clinical product candidates are at an early stage of development and will require significant further investment and regulatory approvals prior to marketing and commercialization. We may never receive the necessary financing or regulatory approvals. As such, our product development processes for LPCN 1021, LPCN 1111 and LPCN 1107 are very risky and uncertain, and our product candidates may fail to advance beyond the current study. Even if we obtain required financing, we cannot ensure successful product development or that we will obtain regulatory approval or successfully commercialize any of our product candidates and generate product revenues.

If T-replacement therapies are found, or are perceived, to create health risks, our ability to sell LPCN 1021 could be materially adversely affected and our business could be harmed. Even if our LPCN 1021 is approved, physicians and patients may be deterred from prescribing and using T-replacement therapies, which could depress demand for LPCN 1021 and compromise our ability to successfully commercialize LPCN 1021.

Recent publications have suggested potential health risks associated with T-replacement therapy, such as increased cardiovascular disease risk, including increased risk of heart attack or stroke, fluid retention, sleep apnea, breast tenderness or enlargement, increased red blood cells, development of clinical prostate disease, including prostate cancer, and the suppression of sperm production. These potential health risks are described in various articles, including the following publications:

• a 2014 publication in PLOS ONE, which found that, compared to the one year prior to beginning T-replacement therapy, the risk of heart attack doubled 90 days after the start of T deficiency treatment in older men regardless of their history of heart disease and was two to three times higher in men younger than 65 with a history of heart disease;

• a 2013 publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association, which reported that hypogonadal men receiving T-replacement therapy developed a 30% increase in the risk of stroke, heart attack and death; and

• a 2013 publication in BMC Medicine, which concluded that exogenous T increased the risk of cardiovascular-related events, particularly in trials not funded by the pharmaceutical industry.

Prompted by these events, the FDA announced on January 31, 2014 that it will investigate the risk of stroke, heart attack, and death in men taking FDA-approved testosterone products and the FDA plans to have a T-class Advisory Committee meeting on September 17, 2014 to discuss this topic further. The FDA has also asked health care professionals and patients to report side effects involving prescription testosterone products to the agency.

Following the FDA's announcement, the Endocrine Society, a professional medical organization, released a statement in February 2014 in support of further studies regarding the risks and benefits of FDA-approved T-replacement products for men with age-related T deficiency. Specifically, the Endocrine Society noted that large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the risks and benefits of T-replacement therapy in older men. In addition, the Endocrine Society recommended that patients should be informed of the potential cardiovascular risks in middle-aged and older men associated with T-replacement therapies. Also following the FDA's announcement, Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy organization, petitioned the FDA to add a "black box" warning about the increased risks of heart attacks and other cardiovascular dangers to the product labels of all T-replacement therapies. In addition, this petition urged the FDA to delay its decision date on approving Aveed, a long-acting T-injectable developed by Endo, which was subsequently approved by the FDA in March 2014. In July 2014, the FDA responded to the Public Citizen petition and denied the petition. Finally in June 2014, the FDA announced that it would require the manufacturers of testosterone drugs to update the warning label to include blood clots including deep vein thrombosis ("DVT") and pulmonary embolism ("PE").

It is possible that the FDA's evaluation and further studies on the effects of T-replacement therapies could demonstrate these or other health risks or could impose additional requirements that could delay our ability to file a NDA for LPCN 1021. During our SOAR trial, we are not collecting safety data for LPCN 1021 comparing it to a placebo control group but only to the leading approved T-gel product. If, following its evaluation, the FDA concludes that men using FDA-approved T-replacement therapies face serious cardiovascular risks, it may take actions against T-replacement products generally, which could impact us adversely in a variety of ways, including that the FDA could:

• require additional safety studies before approving LPCN 1021;

• mandate that certain warnings or precautions be included in our product labeling;

• require that our product carry a "black box warning";

• limit use of LPCN 1021 to certain populations, such as men under a specified age or men without specified conditions;

• direct us to submit a REMS as part of our NDA to help ensure that the benefits of our product outweigh the potential risks; and

• require that we conduct post-marketing studies, potentially including registry, epidemiology or cardiovascular outcomes studies.

Demonstrated T-replacement therapy safety risks, as well as negative publicity about the risks of hormone replacement therapy, including T-replacement, could hurt sales of and impair our ability to successfully commercialize LPCN 1021, if approved. In the interim, the FDA's evaluation could also impact the timing with respect to the filing of our NDA.

We face substantial competition in the TRT market, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do.

We expect to face significant competition for any of our product candidates, if approved. In particular, if approved, LPCN 1021 would compete in the T-replacement therapies market, which is highly competitive and currently dominated by the sale of T-gels, which is estimated to account for approximately 89% of U.S. sales in the T-replacement therapies market in 2013. Our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to obtain an adequate share of the market. Potential competitors in North America, Europe and elsewhere include major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, universities and other research institutions and government agencies. Other pharmaceutical companies may develop oral T-replacement therapies that compete with LPCN 1021. For example, because testosterone undecanoate, orTU, is not a patented compound and is commercially available to third parties, it is possible that competitors may design methods of TU administration that would be outside the scope of the claims of either our issued patents or our patent applications. This would enable their products to effectively compete with LPCN 1021, which could have a negative effect on our business.

The following T-replacement therapies currently on the market in the United States would compete with LPCN 1021:

T-gels, such as AndroGel (marketed by Abbvie), Testim (marketed by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Auxilium), Fortesta (marketed by Endo Health Solutions); and additionally TEVA and Perrigo have FDA approval for T-gels but have not yet launched the products;

T-topical solutions, such as Axiron, a metered dose lotion marketed by Eli Lilly and Co.;

T-injectables;

Branded longer-acting injectable, such as Aveed (marketed by Endo);

T-nasals, such as Natesto (marketed by Trimel);

methyl-T, such as Methitest (marketed by Impax) and Testred (marketed by Valeant);

transdermal patches, such a Androderm (marketed by Actavis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.);

buccal patches, such as Striant (marketed by Auxilium);

generic testosterone enanthate intra-muscular injectables; and

subcutaneous injectable pellets, such as Testopel (marketed by Auxilium).

We are also aware of other pharmaceutical companies that have T-replacement therapies or testosterone therapies in development that may be approved for marketing in the United States or outside of the United States.

Based on publicly available information, we believe that several other T-replacement therapies that would be competitive with LPCN 1021 are in varying stages of development, some of which may be approved, marketed and/or commercialized prior to LPCN 1021. These therapies include T-gels, oral-T, an aromatase inhibitor, a new class of drugs called Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators and hydroalcoholic gel formulations of DHT.

In light of the competitive landscape above, LPCN 1021 may not be the first oral testosterone replacement therapy to market, which may significantly affect the market acceptance and commercial success of LPCN 1021.

Furthermore, many of our potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of drug candidates, obtaining FDA and other marketing approvals of products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than we may be in obtaining FDA approval for drugs and achieving widespread market acceptance. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than our products and may render our products obsolete or non-competitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing them. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies become available. Failure to successfully compete in this market would materially and negatively impact our business and operations.

LPCN 1111 is in a very early stage of development, has never been administered in our targeted male population, and may not be further developed for a variety of reasons.

LPCN 1111 is in a very early stage of development. We currently have preliminary data demonstrating absorption of LPCN 1111 in dogs and in postmenopausal females. We are currently dosing hypogonadal men in our Phase 2a study which is the first study of this prodrug in hypogonadal males through oral administration. Our Phase 2a study, however, may not demonstrate that LPCN 1111 has adequate, or any, oral absorption in hypogonadal males to warrant further development or that the safety profile warrants further development.

In addition, the active ingredient in LPCN 1111 has only been manufactured on a small scale. Scaling up into larger batches could be challenging and our ability to procure adequate material in a timely manner to further develop LPCN 1111 is uncertain. We also may not be able to engage a manufacturer who can supply adequate quantities of the drug substance in compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP").

We are currently conducting a Phase 2a study and expect results in the second half of 2014. Several factors could significantly affect the prospects for LPCN 1111, including factors relating to the regulatory approval and clinical development challenges for LPCN 1111 discussed above. Assuming a successful Phase 2a study, the anticipated Phase 2b and Phase 3 programs for a NDA filing for LPCN 1111 could be very long and expensive.

LPCN 1107 is in a very early stage of development, has never been administered orally in humans, and may not be further developed for a variety of reasons.

LPCN 1107 is in a very early stage of development and consequently the risk that we fail to commercialize LPCN 1107 and related products is high. In particular, we have only conducted a Phase 1 proof-of-concept clinical study in healthy women. Although this study demonstrated oral absorption in healthy women, similar results may not be seen in pregnant women. Furthermore, our completed Phase 1 clinical study may not be predictive of safety concerns that may arise in pregnant women or demonstrate that LPCN 1107 has an adequate safety profile to warrant further development. The FDA may also require further preclinical studies. All of these factors can impact the timing of and our ability to continue development of LPCN 1107.

We expect to initiate our second Phase 1 clinical study in pregnant women in the second half of 2014. Assuming a successful Phase 1 study in pregnant women, the anticipated Phase 3 program for a NDA filing for LPCN 1107 could be very long and expensive.

We will not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates without establishing sales and marketing capabilities internally or through collaborators.

We currently have no sales and marketing staff. If and when any of our product candidates is commercialized, we may not be able to find suitable sales and marketing staff and/or collaborators for all of our product candidates. The marketing collaborators we work with may not be adequate, successful or could terminate or materially reduce the effort they direct to our products. The development of a marketing and sales capability will require significant expenditures, management resources and time. The cost of establishing such a sales force may exceed any potential product revenues, or our marketing and sales efforts may be unsuccessful. If we are unable to develop an internal marketing and sales capability or if we are unable to enter into a marketing and sales arrangement with a third party on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully develop and seek regulatory approval for our product candidates and/or effectively market and sell approved products, if any.

Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property

Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property. It is difficult and costly to protect our proprietary rights and technology, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

Our commercial success will depend in large part on obtaining and maintaining patent, trademark and trade secret protection of our product candidates, their respective formulations, methods used to manufacture them and methods of treatment, as well as successfully defending these patents against third party challenges. Our ability to stop unauthorized third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing our product candidates, once commercialized, is dependent upon the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents or trade secrets that cover these activities.

The patent positions of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and related companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in patents in these fields has emerged to date in the United States. There have been recent changes regarding how patent laws are interpreted, and both the PTO and Congress have enacted radical changes to the patent system. We cannot accurately predict future changes in the interpretation of patent laws or changes to patent laws which might be enacted into law. Those changes may materially affect our patents, our ability to obtain patents and/or the patents and applications of our collaborators and licensors. The patent situation in these fields outside the United States is even more uncertain. Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent protection. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in the patents we own or which we license or third-party patents.

The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep a competitive advantage. For example:

•

others may be able to make or use compounds that are the same or similar to the pharmaceutical compounds used in our product candidates but that are not covered by the claims of our patents;

•

the APIs in our current product candidates LPCN 1021, and LPCN 1107 are, or may soon become, commercially available in generic drug products, and no patent protection may be available without regard to formulation or method of use;

•

we may not be able to detect infringement against our owned or licensed patents, which may be especially difficult for manufacturing processes or formulation patents;

•

we might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by our issued patents or pending patent applications or those we license;

•

we might not have been the first to file patent applications for these inventions;

•

others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies;

•

it is possible that our pending patent applications or those of our licensor will not result in issued patents;

•

it is possible that there are dominating patents to any of our product candidates of which we are not aware;

•

it is possible that there are prior public disclosures that could invalidate our inventions, or parts of our inventions, of which we are not aware;

•

it is possible that others may circumvent our owned or licensed patents;

•

it is possible that there are unpublished applications or patent applications maintained in secrecy that may later issue with claims covering our products or technology similar to ours;

•

the laws of foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States;

•

the claims of our owned or licensed issued patents or patent applications, if and when issued, may not cover our product candidates;

•

our issued patents or those of our licensor may not provide us with any competitive advantages, or may be narrowed in scope, be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal challenges by third parties;

•

our licensor or licensees as the case may be, who have access to our patents may attempt to enforce our owned or licensed patents, which if unsuccessful, may result in narrower scope of protection of our owned or licensed patents or our owned or licensed patents becoming invalid or unenforceable;

•

we may not develop additional proprietary technologies for which we can obtain patent protection; or

•

the patents of others may have an adverse effect on our business.

We also may rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect, and we have limited control over the protection of trade secrets used by our collaborators and suppliers. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors, outside scientific collaborators and other advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using any of our trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how. If our confidential or proprietary information is divulged to or acquired by third parties, including our competitors, our competitive position in the marketplace will be harmed and our ability to successfully penetrate our target markets could be severely compromised.

If any of our owned or licensed patents are found to be invalid or unenforceable, or if we are otherwise unable to adequately protect our rights, it could have a material adverse impact on our business and our ability to commercialize or license our technology and products. Likewise, our United States patents covering certain technology used in our product candidates, including LPCN 1021, are expected to expire on various dates from November 23, 2019 through January 2029. Upon the expiration of these patents, we will lose the right to exclude others from practicing these inventions to the extent that at those times we have no additional issued patents to protect our product candidates, including LPCN 1021. Additionally, if these are our only patents listed in the FDA Orange Book should we have a FDA-approved and marketed product at that time, their expiration will mean that we lose certain advantages that come with Orange Book listing of patents. The expiration of these patents could also have a similar material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Moreover, if we are unable to commence or continue any action relating to the defense of our patents, we may be unable to protect our product candidates.
