Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

Harrow has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.

 

Harrow consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company assesses control under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of that entity. The Company consolidates (i) entities in which it holds and/or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and (ii) VIEs for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, allowance for credit losses, variable consideration determined based on accruals for chargebacks, administrative fees and rebates, government rebates, returns and other allowances, renewal periods and discount rates for leases, realizability of inventories, recoverability of investments, realizability of deferred tax assets, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations and asset acquisitions, fair value of loans payable, and valuation of stock-based transactions with employees and non-employees. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to certain regulatory standards, approvals, guidelines and inspections which could impact the Company’s ability to make, dispense, and sell certain products or subject the Company to enforcement actions. The Company’s 503B facility was inspected in 2024. The Company has been in discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding the 2024 and other past FDA inspections of its 503B facility and has developed action plans to address observations made by FDA during these inspections and has communicated those plans to FDA. If the Company was required to cease compounding and selling certain products as a result of regulatory guidelines or inspections, it could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

 

  

Liquidity

Liquidity

 

In January 2026 the Oaktree Loan (see Note 13) becomes due which totals $107,500,000 principal amount outstanding at December 31, 2024. The maturity of this debt obligation without a refinancing event could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is currently in discussions with its current senior lender, Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, as administrative agent for the lenders (together, “Oaktree”), and other potential lenders about refinancing the Oaktree Loan. Management expects to move into more definitive discussions and negotiations with Oaktree and potential lenders in the summer and fall of 2025. Management believes it is probable that the Company will be able to refinance the Oaktree Loan based on the Company’s collateral strength and expected cash flows from operations; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain the refinancing on terms acceptable to it, or at all. If the Company is unable to successfully refinance the Oaktree Loan, the Company does not expect to have the ability to repay the Oaktree Loan in full.

 

The Company believes that one of the other alternatives available to it in lieu of refinancing the Oaktree Loan is the sale of one or more of the Company’s assets. There can be no assurance that any sale could be completed on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to refinance the Oaktree Loan or sell some of its assets to meet its obligations.

 

Credit Losses

Credit Losses

 

The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its financial instruments, including its trade receivables. Management considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of the Company’s customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses. However, because of the short time to the expected receipt of accounts receivable, management believes that the carrying value, net of expected losses, approximates fair value and therefore, relies more on historical and current analysis of such financial instruments, including its trade receivables.

 

To determine the provision for credit losses for accounts receivable, the Company has disaggregated its accounts receivable by class of customer at the business component level, as management determined that risk profile of the Company’s customers is consistent based on the type and industry in which they operate, mainly in the pharmaceuticals industry. Each business component is analyzed for estimated credit losses individually. In doing so, the Company establishes a historical loss matrix, based on the previous collections of accounts receivable by the age of such receivables, and evaluates the current and forecasted financial position of its customers, as available. Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the pharmaceuticals industry to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends of the Company’s expectation of the future status of such economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.

 

Accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are net of allowances for credit losses of $416,000 and $371,000, respectively. The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

   

Balance at January 1, 2023  $73,000 
Change in expected credit losses   332,000 
Write-offs, net of recoveries   (34,000)
Balance at December 31, 2023   371,000 
Change in expected credit losses   120,000 
Write-offs, net of recoveries   (75,000)
Balance at December 31, 2024  $416,000 

 

  

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

 

The Company evaluates acquisitions of assets and other similar transactions to assess whether the transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or asset acquisition by first applying a screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If the screen is met, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If the screen is not met, further determination is required as to whether the Company has acquired inputs, process, and output, which would meet the requirements of a business. If determined to be a business combination, the Company accounts for the transaction under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

 

ASC 805, Business Combinations, requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including any contingent assets and liabilities, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree based on the fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. The Company recognizes and measures goodwill as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

 

The consideration for the Company’s business acquisitions may include future payments that are contingent upon the occurrence of a particular event or events. The obligations for such contingent consideration payments are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. The contingent consideration obligations are then evaluated each reporting period. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, other than changes due to payments, would be recognized as a gain or loss and recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

If determined to be an asset acquisition, the Company accounts for the transaction under ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Related Issues, which requires the acquiring entity in an asset acquisition to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the cost to the acquiring entity or a relative fair value basis, which includes transaction costs in addition to consideration given. No gain or loss is recognized as of the date of acquisition unless the fair value of non-cash assets given as consideration differs from the assets’ carrying amounts on the acquiring entity’s financial statements. Consideration transferred that is non-cash will be measured based on either the cost (which shall be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given) or the fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, whichever is more clearly evident and more reliably measurable. The obligation for contingent consideration payments is recorded when probable and reasonably estimable. Contingent consideration recognized is included in the initial cost of the assets acquired and any subsequent changes in the recorded amount of contingent consideration are recognized as an adjustment to the cost basis of the acquired assets and allocated to the acquired assets based on the relative fair value at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition and any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated to the identifiable assets based on relative fair values.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company recognizes any noncontrolling interest as a separate line item in equity in the consolidated financial statements. A noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity ownership in a less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary not attributable to the Company. Generally, any interest that holds less than 50% of the outstanding voting shares is deemed to be a noncontrolling interest; however, there are other factors that are considered as well, such as decision-making rights. When applicable, and in prior periods, the Company includes the amount of net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated net loss on the face of the consolidated statements of operations.

 

  

The Company provides in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity a reconciliation at the beginning and the end of the period of the carrying amount of total equity, equity attributable to the parent, and equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests that separately discloses:

 

  1. net income or loss;
     
  2. transactions with owners acting in their capacity as owners, showing separately contributions from and distributions to owners; and
     
  3. each component of other income or loss.

 

The noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, relate to consolidated subsidiaries for which the Company does not own 100% of the equity interests, and that no longer have active operations, assets and related financial activity.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue at the time of transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (see Note 3).

 

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and other products sold, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, depreciation and amortization of certain intangible assets and the write-off of obsolete inventory.

 

Research and Development

Research and Development

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities, including salaries and benefits, other overhead expenses, and costs related to clinical trials, contract services and outsourced contracts. The Company expenses all costs related to R&D as they are incurred.

 

Upfront and milestone payments related to the acquisition and licensing of technology for drug and product candidates that are not yet approved by the FDA are considered acquisition of in process R&D and expensed as R&D in the period in which the expense occurs.

 

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount

 

Debt issuance costs and the debt discount are recorded net of notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of debt issuance costs and the debt discount is calculated using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt and is recorded in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property

 

The costs of acquiring intellectual property rights to be used in the research and development process, including licensing fees and milestone payments, are charged to research and development expense as incurred in situations where the Company has not identified an alternative future use for the acquired rights, and are capitalized in situations where the Company has identified an alternative future use for the acquired rights. Patents and trademarks are recorded at cost and capitalized at a time when the future economic benefits of such patents and trademarks become more certain (see “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” below). If costs are not capitalized, they are expensed as incurred.

 

  

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

As part of the process of preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company must estimate the actual current tax assets and liabilities and assess permanent and temporary differences that result from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company must assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not more likely than not, a valuation allowance must be established which reduces the amount of deferred tax assets recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation allowance or increase or decrease this allowance in a period, the impact will be included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was $2,858,000 and $2,822,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated balance sheets that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had an accrual for interest or penalties of $69,000 and $40,000 in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and have recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 of $69,000 and $40,000, respectively. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., New Jersey, Tennessee, and various other states. The Company’s tax years since 2000 may be subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company places its cash with financial institutions deemed by management to be of high credit quality. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) provides basic deposit coverage with limits up to $250,000 per owner. The Company believes the majority of its cash deposits are covered under FDIC limits, however there are various accounts in which the Company has deposits in excess of FDIC limits.

Investment in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.


Investment in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

The Company’s investment in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”) consisted of common stock with a readily determinable fair value which was carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In accordance with ASC 321, Investments — Equity Securities, the Company recorded an unrealized holding gain from its Eton common stock position of $3,092,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the change in fair market value of its investment in Eton during the measurement period.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company owned 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock, which represented less than 10% of the equity interests of Eton. In April 2024, the Company sold all of its shares for $5,510,000 and recognized a loss of $3,171,000. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair market value of the Company’s investment in Eton was $0 and $8,681,000, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is stated net of allowances for credit losses and contractual adjustments. The accounts receivable balance primarily includes amounts due from customers the Company has invoiced or from third-party providers (e.g., insurance companies and governmental agencies), but for which payment has not been received. The Company’s gross product revenues are subject to a variety of contractual deductions, which generally are estimated and recorded in the same period that the revenues are recognized. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations and, as such, knowledge and judgment are required when estimating the impact of these revenue deductions on gross sales for a reporting period. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2024 are presented net of allowances for credit losses of $416,000 and $19,731,000 for contractual adjustments (in aggregate $20,147,000) and at December 31, 2023, net of allowances for credit losses of $371,000 and $14,875,000 for contractual adjustments (in aggregate $15,246,000).

 

  

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, based on the price expected to be obtained for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost. Write-downs of inventories are considered to be permanent reductions in the cost basis of inventories.

 

The Company also regularly evaluates its inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence (expiration), taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales or use in production compared to quantities on hand and the remaining shelf life of products and active pharmaceutical ingredients on hand. The Company establishes reserves for excess and obsolete inventories as required based on its analyses.

 

Investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. – Related Party

Investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. – Related Party

 

The Company owns 3,500,000 shares of common stock and 2,334,256 shares of preferred stock of Melt (representing in aggregate approximately 45% of the equity interests as of December 31, 2024). The Company analyzes its investment in Melt and related agreements on a regular basis to evaluate its position of variable interests in Melt. The Company has determined that it does not have the ability to control Melt, however it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Melt and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Melt in its consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Melt accordingly. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reduced the carrying value of its investment in Melt to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses in Melt since its deconsolidation in 2019. As of December 31, 2022, and at the time of entering into the Melt Loan Agreement (see Note 5), the Company owned 100% of Melt’s indebtedness. Following the reduction of the carrying value of the Company’s common stock investment in Melt to $0, the Company began recording 100% of the equity method losses of Melt, based on its ownership of Melt’s total indebtedness. In addition, the Company treated interest paid in kind on the Melt Loan Agreement as an in-substance capital contribution and reduced its investment in Melt accordingly, rather than recording interest income.

 

On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments may be other than temporarily impaired. Indicators include financial condition, operating performance, and near-term prospects of the investee. To the extent indicators suggest that a loss in value may have occurred, the Company will evaluate both quantitative and qualitative factors to determine if the loss in value is other than temporary. If a potential loss in value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the estimated fair value of the equity method investments. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Melt Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 5) was settled in exchange for Melt preferred stock (see Note 5 for loan settlement disclosure). The Company reduced the Melt Loan Agreement and subsequent preferred stock investment in Melt to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses of Melt. The Company has no other investments in Melt and no other requirements to advance funds to Melt.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s investments in Melt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

   Cost
Basis
   Share of Equity
Method Losses
   Net
Carrying value
 
Common stock  $5,810,000   $(5,810,000)  $- 
Preferred stock   18,397,000    (18,397,000)   - 
   $24,207,000   $(24,207,000)  $- 

 

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $0 and $89,000, respectively, due from Melt for reimbursable expenses and amounts due under a Management Services Agreement between the Company and Melt (the “Melt MSA”), which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

  

See Note 5 for more information and related party disclosure regarding Melt.

 

Investment in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. – Related Party

Investment in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. – Related Party

 

The Company owns 3,500,000 common shares of Surface (representing approximately 20% of Surface’s equity interests following the closing of a round of financing completed by Surface in July 2021) and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment, as management has determined that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Surface. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Surface in its consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Surface accordingly. The Company’s share of earnings and losses are based on the Company’s ownership interest of Surface. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reduced its common stock investment in Surface to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses of Surface. The Company has no other investments in Surface and no other requirements to advance funds to Surface.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s investment in Surface as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENT

   Cost
Basis
   Share of Equity Method Losses   Net
Carrying value
 
Common stock  $5,320,000   $(5,320,000)  $- 

 

See Note 6 for more information and related party disclosure regarding Surface.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements and finance lease equipment are amortized over the estimated useful life or remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Computer hardware and furniture and equipment are depreciated over three to five years.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

Capitalized Software Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of internal-use software. Costs incurred during the application development phase are capitalized only when the Company believes it is probable the development will result in new or additional functionality. The types of costs capitalized during the application development phase include consulting fees for third-party developers working on these projects. Costs related to the preliminary project stage and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from two to five years. When internal-use software that was previously capitalized is abandoned, the cost less the accumulated amortization, if any, is recorded as amortization expense. Fully amortized capitalized internal-use software costs are removed from their respective accounts.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Patents and trademarks are recorded at cost and capitalized at a time when the future economic benefits of such patents and trademarks become more certain. At that time, the Company capitalizes third-party legal costs and filing fees associated with obtaining and successfully prosecuting claims related to its patents and trademarks. Once the patents have been issued, the Company amortizes these costs over the shorter of the legal life of the patent or its estimated economic life, generally 20 years, using the straight-line method. Acquired product rights, including new drug applications (“NDAs”), are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally 4-15 years, based on a straight-line method. Trademarks are an indefinite-lived intangible asset and are assessed for impairment based on future projected cash flows as further described below.

 

  

The Company reviews its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of January 1 of each year and when an event or a change in circumstances indicates the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount. Events or changes in circumstances considered as impairment indicators include but are not limited to the following:

 

  significant underperformance of the Company’s business relative to expected operating results;
     
  significant adverse economic and industry trends;
     
  significant decline in the Company’s market capitalization for an extended period of time relative to net book value; and
     
  expectations that a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.

 

The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process as follows:

 

Step 1. The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the existing goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation analysis. The carrying amount of each reporting unit is determined by specifically identifying and allocating the assets and liabilities to each reporting unit based on headcount, relative revenues or other methods as deemed appropriate by management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and the Company then performs the second step of the impairment test to measure the impairment loss. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further analysis is required.

 

Step 2. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

 

As a result of its assessment in 2024, the Company concluded that goodwill is not impaired as of December 31, 2024.

 

Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Other Long-Lived Assets

 

Other long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, purchased intangibles subject to amortization and patents and trademarks, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the asset is based on the discounted value of its estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.

 

Leases

Leases

 

At the inception of a contract the Company determines if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of the debt outstanding. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

The Company has made certain accounting policy elections whereby it (i) does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short-term leases (those with original terms of 12-months of less) and (ii) combines lease and non-lease elements of its operating leases as a single lease component. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any finance leases.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The established fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

 

Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. For example, Level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.

 

At December 31, 2023, the Company measured its investment in Eton on a recurring basis. The Company’s investment in Eton was classified as Level 1 as the fair value was determined using quoted market prices in an active market for the same securities. As of December 31, 2023, the fair market value of the Company’s investment in Eton was $8,681,000.

 
The Company’s 2026 Notes (as defined in Note 13) are carried at face value, including the unamortized premium, less unamortized debt issuance costs, the 2027 Notes (as defined in Note 13) are carried at face value less unamortized debt issuance costs, and the Oaktree Loan (as defined in Note 13) is carried at face value less the original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs on the consolidated balance sheets and the Company presents fair value for disclosure purposes only. The 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes are classified as Level 1 instruments as the fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets for the same securities. The Oaktree Loan is classified as a Level 2 instrument and its fair value is determined through an income approach that considers collateral coverage, yield calibration, yield analysis and any adjustments to implied yield associated with the Company’s fundamental measures.

 

The following table presents the estimated fair values and the carrying values:

 

   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
   Carrying Value   Fair Value   Carrying Value   Fair Value 
2026 Notes  $74,002,000   $75,840,000   $73,218,000   $70,260,000 
2027 Notes  $38,130,000   $42,198,000   $37,413,000   $40,363,000 
Oaktree Loan  $107,407,000   $112,932,000   $75,254,000   $78,633,000 

 

The Company’s other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued payroll and related liabilities, deferred revenue and customer deposits and operating lease liabilities. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, except for operating lease liabilities, approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the carrying values of the operating lease liabilities approximate their respective fair values.

 

  

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

All stock-based payments to employees, directors and consultants, including grants of stock options, warrants, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs) and restricted stock, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based upon their estimated fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards. The estimated fair value is determined at the date of grant. The financial statement effect of forfeitures is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, if the actual effect differs from those estimates. The Company provides newly issued shares of common stock to satisfy the exercise and vesting for stock-based compensation awards.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Harrow, Inc. for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Harrow, Inc. for the year by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options, RSUs, PSUs, and warrants, outstanding during the year.

 

Common stock equivalents (using the treasury stock or “if converted” method) from stock options, unvested RSUs, and unvested PSUs were 4,390,124 and 4,642,259 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are excluded in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented, because the effect is anti-dilutive for that time period. Included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation were RSUs awarded to directors that had vested, but the issuance and delivery of the shares are deferred until the director resigns. The number of shares underlying vested RSUs at December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 211,020 and 215,539, respectively.

 

The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 

           
   For the Years Ended December 31, 
   2024   2023 
         
Numerator – net loss  $(17,481,000)  $(24,411,000)
Denominator – weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic and diluted   35,650,714    32,616,777 
Net loss per share, basic and diluted  $(0.49)  $(0.75)

In August 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which applies to the formation of entities that meet the definition of a joint venture (or a corporate joint venture) and requires joint ventures to initially measure all contributions received upon formation at fair value. The new guidance does not impact accounting by the venturers. The new guidance is applicable to joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. Joint ventures formed prior to the effective date may elect to apply the new guidance retrospectively back to their original formation date. The Company will apply the guidance in ASU 2023-05 prospectively to any future arrangements meeting the definition of a joint venture.

 

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This ASU modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the codification by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments to the various topics should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for the Company for each amendment will be determined based on the effective date of the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. If the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement by June 30, 2027, then the related amendment in ASU 2023-06 will be removed from the codification and will not become effective. Early adoption of this ASU is prohibited. The Company does not expect the amendments in this ASU to have a material impact on the disclosures or presentation in its consolidated financial statements.
