NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY

TherapeuticsMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or TherapeuticsMD or the Company, has three wholly owned subsidiaries, vitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or VitaMed; BocaGreenMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or BocaGreen; and VitaCare Prescription Services, Inc., a Florida corporation, or VitaCare. Unless the context otherwise requires, TherapeuticsMD, VitaMed, BocaGreen, and VitaCare collectively are sometimes referred to as “our company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.” TherapeuticsMD^®, vitaMedMD^®, BocaGreenMD^®, IMVEXXY^® and BIJUVA^® are registered trademarks of our company and ANNOVERA^™ is a licensed trademark of our company.

Nature of Business

We are a women’s healthcare company focused on creating and commercializing innovative products to support the lifespan of women and championing awareness of women’s healthcare issues, specifically, for pregnancy prevention, pregnancy, childbirth, nursing, pre-menopause, and menopause. At TherapeuticsMD, we combine entrepreneurial spirit, clinical expertise, and business leadership to develop and commercialize health solutions that enable new standards of care for women. Our solutions range from advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products to patient-controlled, long-acting contraceptive. We also manufacture and distribute branded and generic prescription prenatal vitamins under the vitaMedMD® and BocaGreenMD® brands.

With our SYMBODA™ technology, we are developing and commercializing advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products to enable delivery of bio-identical hormones through a variety of dosage forms and administration routes. Our commercialization plan allows us to efficiently leverage and grow our marketing and sales organization to commercialize our recently approved products. During 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approval of our drugs has transitioned our company from predominately focused on conducting research and development to one focused on commercializing our drugs. In July 2018, we launched our FDA-approved product, IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia (vaginal pain associated with sexual activity), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, or VVA, due to menopause. In April 2019, we launched our FDA-approved product BIJUVA, our hormone therapy combination of bio-identical 17ß-estradiol and bio-identical progesterone in a single, oral softgel capsule, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms, or VMS, due to menopause in women with a uterus, which was approved by the FDA on October 28, 2018. In October 2019, we began a test and learn market introduction for our FDA-approved product ANNOVERA (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol vaginal system), the first and only patient-controlled, procedure-free, reversible prescription contraceptive option for women, which was approved by the FDA on August 10, 2018. We expect the full commercial launch of ANNOVERA in the first quarter of 2020. On July 30, 2018, we entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the Population Council License Agreement, with the Population Council, Inc., or the Population Council, to commercialize ANNOVERA in the U.S. In addition, on July 30, 2018, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Knight Therapeutics Inc., or Knight, pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. On June 6, 2019, we entered into an exclusive license and supply agreement, or the License Agreement, with Theramex HQ UK Limited, or Theramex, to commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY outside of the U.S., excluding Canada and Israel, or the Territory.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of TherapeuticsMD, Inc., which include our wholly owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, from which we derived the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period in the future.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2018-13 which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The FASB developed the amendments to ASC 820 as part of its broader disclosure framework project, which aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by focusing on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to users of the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. We are currently evaluating the effect of this guidance on our disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new guidance expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payments granted to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50. The guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued, but not before an entity adopts ASC 606. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This guidance requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheets while recognizing expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard was effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. In July 2018, the FASB amended the new leases standard and issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements to give entities another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 utilizing the alternative transition method allowed for under ASU 2018-11 and we recorded a $3.8 million right of use asset and a $4.1 million liability related to adoption of this standard. In addition, upon commencement of additional lease space in the third quarter of 2019 (as disclosed in Note 15) we recorded an additional $7.4 million right of use asset and an additional $7.2 million liability related to our new lease space. Comparative financial information was not adjusted and will continue to be reported under ASC 840. We also elected the transition relief package of practical expedients and as a result we did not assess (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain leases, (2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and (3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. We elected the short-term lease practical expedient by establishing an accounting policy to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less. We elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for our specified asset classes. Additionally, the adoption of the new standard resulted in increased disclosure requirements in our quarterly and annual filings.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, and are not expected to, have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 5 – OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

NOTE 6 – FIXED ASSETS, NET

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $90,700 and $42,221, respectively, and $223,750 and $121,423 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We capitalize external costs, consisting primarily of legal costs, related to securing our patents and trademarks. Once a patent is granted, we amortize the approved hormone therapy drug candidate patents using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of approximately 20 years, which is the life of intellectual property patents. If the patent is not granted, we write-off any capitalized patent costs at that time. Trademarks are perpetual and are not amortized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we wrote off $78,864 in costs related to trademarks and patents, including the net carrying amount of the OPERA patent.

As of September 30, 2019, we had 26 issued domestic, or U.S., patents and 28 issued foreign patents, including:

●

12 domestic patents and six foreign patents that relate to BIJUVA as well as three domestic patents that relate to estradiol and progesterone product candidates. These patents establish an important intellectual property foundation for BIJUVA and are owned by us. The domestic patents will expire in 2032. The foreign patents will expire no earlier than 2032. In addition, we have pending patent applications relating to BIJUVA in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea;

●

Five domestic patents (four utility and one design) and 13 foreign patents (three utility and ten design) that relate to IMVEXXY. These patents establish an important intellectual property foundation for IMVEXXY and are owned by us. The domestic patents will expire in 2032 or 2033. The foreign utility patents will expire no earlier than 2033. The foreign design patents provide protection expiring no earlier than 2025. In certain jurisdictions, the foreign design patents provide protection through at least 2037. In addition, we have pending patent applications related to IMVEXXY in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea;

●

One domestic utility patent that relates to our topical-cream candidates, which is owned by us. The domestic patent will expire in 2035. We have pending patent applications with respect to our topical-cream candidates in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea;

●

One domestic utility patent and five foreign patents that relate to our transdermal-patch candidates, which are owned by us. The domestic utility patent will expire in 2032. The foreign patents will expire no earlier than 2033. We have pending patent applications with respect to our transdermal-patch candidates in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Europe, Mexico, and South Africa;

●

One domestic utility patent that relates to our OPERA information-technology platform, which is owned by us and will expire in 2031;

●

One domestic utility patent that relates to a product candidate containing d-limonene, which is owned by us and will expire in 2036; and

●

Two domestic utility patents that relate to TX-009HR, a progesterone and estradiol product candidate, which are owned by us and will expire in 2037. We have pending patent applications with respect to TX-009HR in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea.

Amortization expense was $51,259 and $31,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $140,206 and $77,123 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

License Agreement with the Population Council

On July 30, 2018, we entered into the Council License Agreement to commercialize ANNOVERA in the U.S. ANNOVERA became commercially available in the third quarter of 2019 and we expect the full commercial launch in the first quarter of 2020.

Under the terms of the Council License Agreement, we paid the Population Council a milestone payment of $20,000,000 within 30 days following approval by the FDA of the new drug application, or NDA, for ANNOVERA. The first commercial batch of ANNOVERA was released during the third quarter of 2019 and we are required to pay the Population Council $20,000,000 as a result of the commercial batch release. Both milestone payments of $20,000,000 were recorded as finite-lived intangible asset in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. We started amortizing the intangible asset in the third quarter of 2019 once ANNOVERA became commercially available for use. The cost is amortized over the remaining useful life over which an intangible asset will contribute directly or indirectly to our cash flows. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $15,998 in amortization expense related to the license fee which was recorded as a component of cost of sales.

The Population Council is also eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties from commercial sales of ANNOVERA. We will assume responsibility for marketing expenses related to the commercialization of ANNOVERA. In addition, we are required to pay the Population Council, on a quarterly basis, step-based royalty payments based on annual net sales of ANNOVERA in the U.S. by the Company and its affiliates and permitted licensees as follows: (i) if annual net sales are less than or equal to $50,000,000, a royalty of 5% of net sales; (ii) for annual net sales greater than $50,000,000 and less than or equal to $150,000,000, a royalty of 10% of such net sales; and (iii) for net sales greater than $150,000,000, a royalty of 15% of such net sales. The annual royalty rate will be reduced to 50% of the initial rate during the six-month period beginning on the date of the first arms-length commercial sale of a generic equivalent of the one-year vaginal contraceptive system that is launched by a third party in the U.S., and thereafter will be reduced to 20% of the initial rate. The Population Council has agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with four post-approval studies required by the FDA for ANNOVERA and we have agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with a post approval study required by the FDA to measure risk for venous thromboembolism, provided that if the costs and expenses associated with such post-approval study exceed $20,000,000, half of such excess will be offset against royalties or other payments owed by us to the Population Council under the Council License Agreement. We and the Population Council have agreed to form a joint product committee responsible for overseeing activities under the Council License Agreement. We will be responsible for all aspects of promotion, product positioning, pricing, education programs, publications, sales messages and any additional desired clinical studies for the one-year vaginal contraceptive system, subject to oversight and decisions made by the joint product committee. The Council License Agreement includes exclusive rights for us to negotiate co-development of two other investigational vaginal contraceptive systems in development by the Population Council.

We assess our intangible assets for impairment if indicators are present or changes in circumstance suggest that impairment may exist. If impairment indicators are present or changes in circumstance suggest that impairment may exist, we perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows of each intangible asset to its carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the recoverability test are less than the carrying value, we would determine the fair value of the intangible asset and recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. We also evaluate the remaining useful life of intangible assets subject to amortization on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances would indicate impairment or warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, we will amortize the remaining carrying value of the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.

License Agreement with Knight Therapeutics Inc.

On July 30, 2018, we entered into a license and supply agreement, or the Knight License Agreement, with Knight pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. Pursuant to the terms of the Knight License Agreement, Knight will pay us a milestone fee upon first regulatory approval in Canada of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA, sales milestone fees based upon certain aggregate annual sales in Canada and Israel of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA and royalties based on aggregate annual sales of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. Knight will be responsible for all regulatory and commercial activities in Canada and Israel related to IMVEXXY and BIJUVA. We may terminate the Knight License Agreement if Knight does not submit all regulatory applications, submissions and/or registrations required for regulatory approval to use and commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel within certain specified time periods. We also may terminate the Knight License Agreement if Knight challenges our patents. Either party may terminate the Knight License Agreement for any material breach by the other party that is not cured within certain specified time periods or if the other party files for bankruptcy or other related matters. In connection with the Knight License Agreement, Knight entered into a subscription agreement with us, pursuant to which Knight purchased 3,921,568 shares of our Common Stock concurrent with the closing of the underwritten public offering of Common Stock at a price of $5.10, for proceeds of $20,000,000, on August 6, 2018.

License Agreement with Theramex

On June 6, 2019, we entered into an exclusive license and supply agreement, or the License Agreement, with Theramex, a leading, global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to women’s health, to commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY outside of the U.S., excluding Canada and Israel, or the Territory. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Theramex paid us EUR 14 million in cash as an upfront fee on August 5, 2019. Within thirty days of signing the License Agreement, we provided Theramex the regulatory materials and clinical data that were necessary for Theramex to obtain marketing authorizations and other applicable regulatory approvals for commercializing BIJUVA and IMVEXXY. We recognized the revenue related to the upfront fee, which was a non-refundable payment, during the third quarter of 2019, at a point in time when Theramex was able to use and benefit from the license which was when the knowledge transfer of regulatory documents occurred. We are eligible to receive additional milestone payments comprised of (i) up to an aggregate of EUR 2 million in regulatory milestone payments based on regulatory approvals for BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in certain specified markets and (ii) up to an aggregate of EUR 27.5 million in sales milestone payments to be paid in escalating tranches based on Theramex first attaining certain aggregate annual net sales milestones of BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in the Territory ranging from EUR 25 million to EUR 100 million. We are also entitled to receive quarterly royalty payments on net sales of BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in the Territory. Theramex will be responsible for all regulatory and commercial activities for BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in the Territory. Theramex may sublicense its rights to commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in the Territory, except for certain specified markets. We may terminate the License Agreement if Theramex does not submit all regulatory applications, submissions and/or registrations required for regulatory approval to use and commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY within certain specified time periods. We also may terminate the License Agreement if Theramex challenges our patents. Either party may terminate the License Agreement for any material breach by the other party that is not cured within certain specified time periods or if the other party files for bankruptcy or other related matters.

NOTE 8 – OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

NOTE 9 – DEBT

On April 24, 2019, we entered into a Financing Agreement, or the Financing Agreement, with TPG Specialty Lending, Inc., as administrative agent, or the Administrative Agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto, and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as guarantors, which provides us with a $300,000,000 first lien secured term loan credit facility, or the Facility.

Upon or after an event of default, the Administrative Agent and the lenders may declare all or a portion of our obligations under the Financing Agreement to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Financing Agreement. The obligations of our company and its subsidiaries under the Financing Agreement are secured, subject to customary permitted liens and other agreed upon exceptions, by a first priority perfected security interest in all existing and after-acquired assets of our company and its subsidiaries. The obligations under the Financing Agreement will be guaranteed by each of our future direct and indirect subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

On May 1, 2018, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with MidCap Financial Trust, or MidCap, as agent, or Agent, and as lender, and the additional lenders party thereto from time to time (together with MidCap as a lender, the Lenders), as amended. The Credit Agreement provided a secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200,000,000, or the Term Loan. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan was available to be made in three separate tranches, with each tranche to be made available to us, at our option, upon our achievement of certain milestones. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan bore interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) one-month LIBOR (subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.50%) plus (ii) 7.75% per annum.

On April 24, 2019, we terminated the Credit Agreement. A portion of the initial tranche of borrowing under the Financing Agreement in the amount of approximately $81,661,000 was used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which included a prepayment fee of 4%, a repayment fee of 4% and other fees and expenses payable to the lenders under the Credit Agreement. As a result of the termination of the Credit Agreement, we recorded $10,057,632 in loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Term Loan was due and payable monthly in arrears. Interest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2019 related to the Credit Agreement was $1,816,747. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and prior to the repayment of the Credit Agreement, we amortized $120,146 of deferred financing fees as interest expense in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2019, we had $200,000,000 in borrowings outstanding under the Financing Agreement, which are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. We incurred $6,652,270 in deferred financing fees related to the Financing Agreement. Deferred financing fees related to the entire Financing Agreement have been allocated pro rata between the funded and unfunded portions of each tranche. Allocated deferred financing fees related to Tranche 1 of $6,101,513 have been reflected as a debt discount and are accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method. Deferred financing fees associated with unfunded tranches were deferred as assets until the Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 milestones have been met. As of September 30, 2019, deferred financing fees related to Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 were included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Interest on amounts borrowed under the Financing Agreement is due and payable quarterly in arrears. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5,333,056 and $9,318,056, respectively. The overall effective interest rate under the Financing Agreement was approximately 11% as of September 30, 2019.

NOTE 10 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

We calculate earnings per share, or EPS, in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts: basic and diluted. We compute basic EPS based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Common Stock, outstanding during the period. We compute diluted EPS based on the weighted-average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive shares of our Common Stock outstanding during the period. Such potentially dilutive shares of our Common Stock consist of options, warrants and restricted stock awards and were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been antidilutive due to the net loss reported by us.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

At September 30, 2019, we had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized for issuance, of which no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

On August 1, 2018, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the underwriters, relating to an underwritten public offering of 12,745,098 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $5.10 per share. We granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for a period of 30 days, to purchase up to 1,911,764 additional shares of Common Stock. On August 2, 2018, the underwriters exercised the option in full. The net proceeds from the offering, including the exercise of the option to purchase additional shares, were approximately $69,908,000, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by us.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

As of September 30, 2019, we had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 1,832,571 shares of Common Stock with a weighted-average contractual remaining life of approximately 2.2 years, and exercise prices ranging from $0.24 to $8.20 per share, resulting in a weighted average exercise price of $2.62 per share.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of our warrants is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions, including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, dividend rate and the term of the warrant.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we granted warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock to outside consultants at an exercise price of $5.63. The fair value for these warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term of 5 years; volatility of 60.8%; risk free rate of 2.52%; and dividend yield of 0%. The grant date fair value of the warrants was $3.00 per share. The warrants are vesting ratably over a 12 month period and have an expiration date of February 12, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we granted warrants to purchase 175,000 shares of Common Stock to outside consultants at an exercise price of $5.16. The fair value for these warrants was determined by using the Black-Scholes Model on the date of the grant using a term of 5 years; volatility of 62.1%; risk free rate of 2.36%; and dividend yield of 0%. The grant date fair value of the warrants was $2.79 per share. The warrants vest ratably over a 12 month period and have an expiration date of March 15, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $56,418 and $150,977, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $198,306 and $407,292, respectively, as share based compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to warrants. As of September 30, 2019, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to the unvested portion of these warrants was approximately $83,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.4 years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock were exercised pursuant to the warrants’ cashless exercise provisions, wherein 471,184 shares of Common Stock were issued.

Options to Purchase Common Stock

In 2009, we adopted the 2009 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2009 Plan, to provide financial incentives to employees, directors, advisers, and consultants of our company who are able to contribute towards the creation of or who have created stockholder value by providing them stock options and other stock and cash incentives, or the Awards. The Awards available under the 2009 Plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other stock or cash awards as described in the 2009 Plan. Generally, the options vest annually over four years or as determined by our board of directors, upon each option grant. Options may be exercised by paying the price for shares or on a cashless exercise basis after they have vested and prior to the specified expiration date provided and applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiration date is generally ten years from the date the option is issued. As of September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock options to purchase 15,028,509 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2009 Plan. Effective upon our adoption of the TherapeuticsMD, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan, on June 20, 2019, no future awards may be made under the 2009 Plan.

In 2012, we adopted the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2012 Plan, a non-qualified plan that was amended in August 2013. The 2012 Plan was designed to serve as an incentive for retaining qualified and competent key employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and advisors of our company. The Awards available under the 2012 Plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other stock or cash awards as described in the 2012 Plan. Generally, the options vest annually over four years or as determined by our board of directors, upon each option grant. Options may be exercised by paying the price for shares or on a cashless exercise basis after they have vested and prior to the specified expiration date provided and applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiration date is generally ten years from the date the option is issued. As of September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock options to purchase 6,316,474 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 1,040,000 restricted stock awards under the 2012 Plan. Effective upon our adoption of the 2019 Plan, no future awards may be made under the 2012 Plan.

On June 20, 2019, we adopted the 2019 Plan to serve as an incentive for retaining qualified and competent key employees, officers, directors, and certain consultants and advisors of our company. The Awards available under the 2019 Plan consist of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, and other stock or cash awards as described in the 2019 Plan. Generally, the options vest annually over four years or as determined by our board of directors, upon each option grant. Options may be exercised by paying the price for shares or on a cashless exercise basis after they have vested and prior to the specified expiration date provided and applicable exercise conditions are met, if any. The expiration date is generally ten years from the date the option is issued. As of September 30, 2019, there were 13,779,632 shares of Common Stock available for issuance thereunder, consisting of (i) 11,294,999 new shares, (ii) 2,395,333 unallocated shares previously available for issuance under the 2012 Plan that were not then subject to outstanding “Awards” (as defined in the 2012 Plan), and (iii) 89,300 unallocated shares previously available for issuance under the 2009 Plan that were not then subject to outstanding “Awards” (as defined in the 2009 Plan). Any shares subject to outstanding options or other equity “Awards” under the 2019 Plan, the 2012 Plan and the 2009 Plan that are forfeited, expire or otherwise terminate without issuance of the underlying shares, or if any such Award is settled for cash or otherwise does not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the shares subject to such Award (other than shares tendered or withheld in connection with the exercise of an Award or the satisfaction of withholding tax liabilities), the shares to which those Awards were subject, shall, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, again be available for delivery with respect to Awards under the 2019 Plan. As of September 30, 2019, there were non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,505,001 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 200,000 restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2019 Plan.

The valuation methodology used to determine the fair value of stock options is the Black-Scholes Model. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected life of the stock options.

At September 30, 2019, our outstanding stock options had exercise prices ranging from $0.19 to $8.92 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of options granted was $1.84 and $3.27 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense for options recognized in our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 ($2,194,667 and $2,109,218, respectively) and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 ($6,568,736 and $5,981,343, respectively) is based on vested awards. At September 30, 2019, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to unvested options granted prior to that date was approximately $13,468,000 which may be adjusted for future changes in forfeitures. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. No tax benefit was realized due to a continued pattern of operating losses.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards granted under our 2009, 2012 and 2019 Plans entitle the holder to receive, at the end of vesting period, a specified number of shares of our Common Stock. Share-based compensation expense is measured by the market value of our Common Stock on the day of the grant. The shares vest ratably over the period specified in the grant. There is no partial vesting and any unvested portion is forfeited.

On December 13, 2018, we granted 1,040,000 restricted stock units to certain executive employees which will vest at the end of the third year. The grant date fair value was $4.06 per unit. On July 30, 2019, we granted 200,000 restricted stock units to certain executive employees which will vest on January 31, 2022. The grant date fair value was $2.18 per unit. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $384,061 and $1,080,738, respectively, in share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units. At September 30, 2019, total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units was approximately $3,505,000, which may be adjusted for future changes in forfeitures. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. At September 30, 2019, we had 1,240,000 restricted stock awards outstanding.

Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

On July 1, 2018, we issued cash-settled SARs to certain consultants and employees. The SARs plan year began on July 1, 2018 and ended on or immediately following June 30, 2019. SARs were granted with a grant price equal to the market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. Cash-settled SARs provided for the cash payment of the excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock on June 30, 2019 over the grant price. Cash-settled SARs have no effect on dilutive shares or shares outstanding as any appreciation of our Common Stock over the grant price is paid in cash and not in Common Stock. 

Cash settled SARs were recorded in our consolidated balance sheets as a liability until the date of exercise. The fair value of each SAR award was estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” the fair value of each SAR award was recalculated at the end of each reporting period and the liability and expense adjusted based on the new fair value and the percent vested. At June 30, 2019, the fair market value of our Common Stock was lower than the grant price of SARs and, as a result, the recorded liability was reversed and no cash payment was made.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We do not expect to pay any significant federal or state income tax for 2019 as a result of (i) the losses recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, (ii) additional losses expected for the remainder of 2019, and/or (iii) net operating loss carry forwards from prior years. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is "more likely than not" that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2019, we maintain a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. Based on these requirements, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded. There were no recorded unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the reporting period.

From time to time, we have entered into agreements with Catalent, Inc. and its affiliates, or Catalent, in the normal course of business. Agreements with Catalent have been reviewed by independent directors of our Company, or a committee consisting of independent directors of our company, since July 2015.
