Radius Health, Inc.
(Unaudited)
1. Organization
Radius Health, Inc. (Radius or the Company) is a science-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on developing new therapeutics for patients with osteoporosis as well as other serious endocrine-mediated diseases. The Companys lead product candidate is the investigational drug abaloparatide (BA058), a bone anabolic for the treatment of osteoporosis delivered via subcutaneous injection, which the Company refers to abaloparatide-SC and is currently in Phase 3 development. The Company is leveraging its investment in abaloparatide-SC to develop a line extension that is designed to improve patient convenience by enabling administration of abaloparatide through a short-wear-time patch, which the Company refers to as abaloparatide-TD. The Company has recently completed a successful Phase 2 proof of concept study of abaloparatide-TD.
The Companys current clinical product portfolio also includes the investigational drug RAD1901, a selective estrogen receptor down regulator/degrader (SERD) and RAD140, a nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). The Company is developing RAD1901 at higher doses for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. At low doses, RAD1901 acts as a selective estrogen-receptor modulator (SERM). Low-dose RAD1901 has shown potential to be effective for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes in a successful Phase 2 proof of concept study. RAD140 resulted from an internal drug discovery program that began in 2005. RAD140 has demonstrated potent anabolic activity on muscle and bone in preclinical studies and has clinical potential in a number of indications including the treatment of weight loss due to cancer cachexia, sarcopenia, frailty and oncology.
The Company is subject to the risks associated with emerging companies with a limited operating history, including dependence on key individuals, a developing business model, the necessity of securing regulatory approval to market its investigational product candidates, market acceptance of the Companys product candidates, competition for its product candidates, and the continued ability to obtain adequate financing to fund the Companys future operations. The Company has incurred losses and expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $326.3 million, and total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $68.5 million. On October 7, 2014, the Company completed a public offering whereby the Company sold 2,750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $18.25 per share, for aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, of approximately $46.9 million. On October 7, 2014, the underwriters purchased an additional 378,524 shares in the aggregate by exercising a portion of the over-allotment option granted to them in connection with the offering. As a result of the public offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs of approximately $53.3 million.
The Company believes that the aggregate proceeds from the offering on October 7, 2014, together with its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2014, will be sufficient to fund its operations into the fourth quarter of 2015. Accordingly, the Company expects to pursue strategic financing alternatives that could include, but are not limited to, partnering or other collaboration agreements, or additional financing opportunities, including the completion of a private placement or public offering in order to address its capital needs. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or executed on favorable terms, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. If the Company fails to obtain additional future capital, it may be unable to complete its planned preclinical and clinical trials and obtain approval of any investigational product candidates from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory authorities. In addition, the Company could be forced to discontinue product development, reduce or forego sales and marketing efforts, forego attractive business opportunities or discontinue operations entirely.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the related disclosures of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included.
When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. Subsequent events have been evaluated up to the date of issuance of these financials. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2014.
Significant Accounting PoliciesThe significant accounting policies identified in the Companys most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 relate to research and development costs, stock-based compensation, fair value measures, property and equipment, license agreements, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes. There were no changes to significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Initial Public Offering-On June 11, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering whereby the Company sold 6,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. The shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on June 6, 2014. In connection with the offering, all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock converted into 19,465,132 shares of common stock and 2,862,654 shares of common stock were issued in satisfaction of accumulated dividends accrued on the preferred stock. In addition, all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of A-1 convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of series B-2 convertible preferred stock were converted into the right to purchase 149,452 shares of common stock and the Companys warrant liability was reclassified to equity.
On June 18, 2014 and June 25, 2014, the underwriters purchased an additional 512,744 shares in the aggregate by exercising a portion of the over-allotment option granted to them in connection with the initial public offering. As a result of the closing of the initial public offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, of approximately $50.4 million.
In connection with the completion of its initial public offering, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which, among other things, changed the number of authorized shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares.
Reverse Stock Split On April 24, 2014, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the Companys common stock. The number of authorized shares of the Companys common stock and the par value did not change. Pursuant to the stock split, every 2.28 shares of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of the Companys common stock. All shares and per share amounts in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.
Recently Adopted Accounting StandardsIn July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments under ASU 2013-11 were effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2013-11 on January 1, 2014. Its adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In December 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-12, Definition of a Public Business Entity (ASU 2013-12). ASU 2013-12 amends the Master Glossary of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to include one definition of public business entity for future use in GAAP. ASU 2013-12 does not affect existing requirements but will be used in considering the scope of new financial guidance and will identify whether the guidance does or does not apply to public business entities. The Company adopted ASU 2013-12 on January 1, 2014. Its adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Accounting Standards UpdatesIn August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance in GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments under ASU 2014-15 are effective for interim and annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2013-12 on January 1, 2015. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

4. Loan and Security Agreement
On May 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the New Credit Facility), with Solar Capital Ltd. (Solar), as collateral agent and a lender, and Oxford Finance LLC (Oxford), as a lender (the Lenders), pursuant to which Solar and Oxford agreed to make available to the Company $30.0 million in the aggregate subject to certain conditions to funding. An initial term loan was made on May 30, 2014 in an aggregate principal amount equal to $21.0 million (Initial Term Loan).
The Company is required to make interest-only payments through June 1, 2015, and beginning on July 1, 2015, it is required to make payments of principal and accrued interest in equal monthly installments over a term of 36 months. If the Company consummates any one or more public or private stock offerings, equity raises or strategic partner arrangements resulting in the receipt of at least $65.0 million in aggregate net cash proceeds on or prior to May 31, 2015, it will be permitted to make interest-only payments through December 1, 2015 rather than July 1, 2015, and beginning on January 1, 2016, the Company would be required to make principal and accrued interest payments in equal monthly installments over a term of 30 months.
In addition to the Initial Term Loan, the Company would have been able to request an additional term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million (the Original Term B Loan) after the completion of this initial public offering if the net cash proceeds were at least $65.0 million subject to certain customary conditions to funding. Given the net proceeds from the Companys initial public offering were less than $65.0 million, it was not able to request the Original Term B Loan. The Initial Term Loan bears interest per annum at 9.85% plus one-month LIBOR (customarily defined). All principal and accrued interest on the initial term loan is due on June 1, 2018.
The Company used approximately $9.3 million of the Initial Term Loan to repay all the amounts owed under its credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation and Oxford.
As security for its obligations under the New Credit Facility, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all of its existing and after-acquired assets except for our intellectual property and certain other customary exclusions.
On July 10, 2014, the Company entered into a first amendment to the New Credit Facility (First Amendment). Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment, a second term loan of $4.0 million was drawn on July 10, 2014. The terms of the First Amendment, among other things,
· provide the Company with, subject to certain customary funding conditions, additional term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million upon the closing of the First Amendment (the Modified Term B Loan). All other terms applicable to the Original Term B Loan remain applicable to the Modified Term B Loan. The Original Term B Loan are replaced by the Modified Term B Loan. The Company borrowed the full amount of the Modified Term B Loan on July 10, 2014.
· provide the Company the ability to borrow additional term loans in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million (the Term C Loan) at any time through December 31, 2014. In order to draw the Term C Loan, the Company must, in addition to other customary conditions, either (a) close public or private stock offerings, equity raises or strategic partner arrangements resulting in $13.0 million in aggregate net proceeds after the closing of the First Amendment, or (b) as it relates specifically to RAD1901, complete both the maximum tolerable dose trial and enroll the first patient in the breast cancer brain metastasis trial.
The future principal payments under the New Credit Facility, as amended, are as follows, as of September 30, 2014 (in thousands):

On May 30, 2014, pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement with Solar and Oxford, the Company issued to Solar and Oxford warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 10,258 shares of its series B-2 convertible preferred stock (Series B-2) at an exercise price equal to $61.42 per share. The warrants were initially classified as liabilities in the Companys balance sheet and were re-measured at their estimated fair value through completion of the Companys initial public offering. The changes in fair value are recorded as other (expense) income in the statement of operations. Upon the closing of its initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share and the automatic conversion of the Series B-2 into common stock, these warrants became exercisable for up to 78,760 shares of common stock. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the Companys warrant liability was reclassified to equity. On July 10, 2014, pursuant to the First Amendment and closing of the Modified Term B Loan, the Company issued both Solar and Oxford warrants to purchase up to 4,706 shares of common stock, each at a price per share equal to $12.75.
These warrants are immediately exercisable for cash or by net exercise and will expire five years from their issuance.
The initial fair value of the warrants issued in connection with Initial Term Loan was $0.3 million and was recorded as a discount to the Initial Term Loan. The initial fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the First Amendment was $41 thousand and was recorded as a discount to the Modified Term B Loan. The Company also paid Solar and Oxford a facility fee of $0.3 million and reimbursed certain costs associated with the Loan and Security Agreement of approximately $0.1 million, both of which were also recorded as a discount to the Initial Term Loan. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the 48 month period that the Initial Term Loan is expected to be outstanding using the effective interest method.
5. Convertible Preferred Stock
Below is a summary of the rights, preferences, and privileges of the Series B convertible preferred stock (Series B), Series B-2 convertible preferred stock (Series B-2), Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (Series A-1), Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (Series A-2), Series A-3 convertible preferred stock (Series A-3), Series A-4 convertible preferred stock (Series A-4), Series A-5 convertible preferred stock (Series A-5) and Series A-6 convertible preferred stock (Series A-6) (the Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6, collectively, the Series A Preferred Stock) prior to the conversion of all outstanding convertible preferred stock into common stock upon completion of the Companys initial public offering on June 11, 2014.
On February 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the Series B-2 Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Company was able to raise up to approximately $40.2 million through the issuance of (1) up to 655,000 shares of its Series B-2 and (2) warrants to acquire up to 718,201 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $14.004 per share. In February and March 2014, the Company consummated closings under the Series B-2 Purchase Agreement, whereby, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $27.5 million, the Company issued an aggregate of 448,060 shares of Series B-2 and warrants to purchase up to a total of 491,293 shares of its common stock.
Conversion Any holder of the Companys preferred stock had the right, at any time or from time to time, to convert any or all of its shares of preferred stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys common stock for each share of preferred stock converted based upon the then in effect Conversion Price (Conversion Feature). If the Company issued or sold any shares of its Common Stock (as defined by the Companys certificate of incorporation) or options to purchase or other rights to subscribe for such
convertible or exchangeable securities, in each case other than Excluded Stock (as defined by the Companys certificate of incorporation), for a consideration per share less than the then in effect conversion price (Dilutive Issuance) of the Companys Series A-1, A-2, A-3, B, or B-2 preferred stock, respectively, the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such Dilutive Issuance would automatically be reduced in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Upon issuance of each series of the Companys preferred stock, the respective Conversion Prices were greater than the fair value of the Companys common stock at the respective commitment dates. Therefore, the Conversion Feature was not considered to be a beneficial conversion feature that would require the Company to record a deemed dividend on the preferred stock. Each holder of Series B and Series B-2 shares had the right, at their option at any time, to convert any such shares of preferred stock into such number of fully paid shares of common stock as determined by dividing the original purchase price of $61.42 by the conversion price (Series B Optional Conversion). The conversion price of the Series B and Series B-2 as of June 6, 2014 was $14.004 per share and $8.00 per share, respectively, (the Series B Conversion Price), which represented a conversion ratio of one share of Series B or Series B-2 into approximately 4.386 and 7.678 shares of common stock, respectively.
Each holder of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 had the right, at their option at any time, to convert any such shares of preferred stock into such number of fully paid shares of common stock as determined by dividing the original purchase price of $81.42 by the conversion price (Optional Conversion). The original conversion price of the Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 was $18.564 per share (the Conversion Price), which represented a conversion ratio of one share of Series A-1, Series A-2 or Series A-3 into approximately 4.386 shares of common stock. The issuance of the Series B in April and May of 2013 and the Series B-2 in February and March of 2014 resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 (the Anti-Dilution Adjustment). As a result of the Anti-Dilution Adjustment, the conversion price of each share of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 was reduced to $16.970, which represented a conversion ratio of one share of Series A-1, Series A-2 or Series A-3 into approximately 4.798 shares of common stock. This reduction of the Conversion Price did not create a beneficial conversion feature that would require the Company to record a deemed dividend on the Series A-1, Series A-2 or Series A-3 preferred stock.
Each holder of Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6 had the right, at their option at any time, to convert any such shares of preferred stock into such number of fully paid shares of common stock as determined by dividing the original purchase price of $81.42 by the conversion price. The Conversion Price of the Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6 as of June 6, 2014 was $18.564 per share, which represented a conversion ratio of one share of Series A-4, Series A-5 or Series A-6 into approximately 4.386 shares of common stock.
Upon an optional conversion, the holders of the converted Series B-2, Series B and Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to payment of all accrued, whether or not declared, but unpaid dividends in shares of the common stock of the Company at the then effective Conversion Price.
Each share of the Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock was automatically convertible into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at the applicable conversion price (as described above) in effect upon, in the case of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, upon (1) a vote of the holders of at least 70% of the outstanding shares of Series B, Series B-2, Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 to convert all shares of Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock or (2) the common stock becoming listed for trading on a national stock exchange, and in the case of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, upon (1) a vote of the holders of at least 70% of the outstanding shares of Series B-2 to convert all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, (2) the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering on or prior to June 30, 2014 or (3) after June 30, 2014, the common stock becoming listed for trading on a national stock exchange (Special Mandatory Conversion). Upon a Special Mandatory Conversion, all accrued, whether or not declared, but unpaid dividends were to be paid in cash or shares of common stock (calculated based on the then effective conversion price) at the discretion of the Companys Board of Directors.
In the event of a conversion upon the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering on or prior to June 30, 2014 in which the public offering price per share is less than the Series B-2 Conversion Price, then the Series B-2 Conversion Price was automatically reduced to the price equal to the public offering price.
Redemption Unless redemption was waived by a requisite stockholder vote or consent, the shares of Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock were automatically redeemable upon an event of sale of the Company. The shares of Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock were not redeemable at the option of the holder.
Dividends Holders of shares of Series B and Series B-2 were entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounding annually, which accrued on a daily basis commencing on the date of issuance of the shares of Series B and Series B-2. Dividends were payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale, and conversion to common stock, as described above. The holders of shares of Series B and Series B-2 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
Following payment in full of required dividends to the holders of Series B and Series B-2, holders of shares of Series A-1 were entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounding annually, which accrued on a daily basis commencing on the date of issuance of the shares of Series A-1. Dividends were payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale, and conversion to
common stock, as described above. The holders of shares of Series A-1 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
Following payment in full of required dividends to the holders of Series B, Series B-2 and Series A-1, holders of Series A-2 were entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounding annually, which accrued on a daily basis commencing on the date of issuance of the shares of Series A-2. Dividends were payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale, and conversion to common stock, as described above. The holders of shares of Series A-2 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
Following payment in full of required dividends to the holders of Series B, Series B-2, Series A-1 and Series A-2, holders of Series A-3 were entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounding annually, which accrued on a daily basis commencing on the date of issuance of the shares of Series A-3. Dividends were payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale and conversion to common stock, as described above. The holders of shares of Series A-3 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
Without regard to the payment of required dividends to the holders of Series B, Series B-2, Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3, holders of Series A-5 were entitled to receive the Series A-5 Special Accruing Dividend (as defined in the Companys certificate of incorporation) paid in shares of Series A-6 as described in note 9. Dividends were payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale and conversion to common stock, as described above. The holders of shares of Series A-5 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
Following payment in full of required dividends to the holders of Series B, Series B-2, Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3 and Series A-5, holders of Series A-4 and Series A-6 were entitled to receive, when, if and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends on any shares of Series A-4 Stock or Series A-6 Stock, as the case may be, out of funds legally available for that purpose, at a rate to be determined by the Board of Directors if and when they may so declare any dividend on the Series A-4 Stock or A-6 Stock, as the case may be. Dividends were payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale, and conversion to common stock, as described above. The holders of shares of Series A-4 and Series A-6 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
As of June 6, 2014, the Company had accrued dividends of $3.9 million, $18.1 million, $21.2 million and $3.1 million on Series B, Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3, respectively. As of June 11, 2014 the Company had accrued dividends of $0.7 million on Series B-2. Upon completion of the Companys initial public offering, all accrued dividends were paid in shares of common stock at the then effective Conversion Price.
VotingThe holders of Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to vote together with the holders of the common stock as one class on an as-if converted basis. In addition, as long as the shares of Series A-1 were outstanding, the holders of Series A-1, voting as a separate class, had the right to elect two members of the Companys Board of Directors.
Liquidation The shares of Series B and Series B-2 ranked equally to other shares of Series B and Series B-2, and ranked senior to the Series A-1 and all other classes of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A-1 ranked senior to all other classes of Series A Preferred Stock. Series A-2 ranked junior to Series A-1 and senior to Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6. Series A-3, Series A-5 and Series A-6 ranked equally but junior to Series A-1 and Series A-2 and senior to Series A-4. Series A-4 ranked senior to the Companys common stock.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of Series B and Series B-2 were entitled to be paid first out of the assets available for distribution, before any payment is made to the Series A Preferred Stock. Payment to the holders of Series B was to consist of two (2) times the original purchase price of $61.42, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Payment to the holders of Series B-2 was to consist of one and a half (1.5) times the original purchase price of $61.42, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. After such distribution to the holders of Series B and Series B-2, the holders of Series A-1 would have been entitled to be paid out of the remaining assets available for distribution, before any payment is made to the Series A-2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6. Payment to the holders of Series A-1 was to consist of the original purchase price of $81.42, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. After the distribution to the holders of Series A-1, the holders of Series A-2 would have been entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the original purchase price per share of $81.42, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. After the distribution to the holders Series A-1 and Series A-2, the holders of Series A-3, Series A-5 and Series A-6, would have been entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the original purchase price per share of $81.42, plus any accrued but unpaid or declared and unpaid dividends, as appropriate. After the distribution to the holders Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3, Series A-5 and Series A-6, the holders of Series A-4 would have been entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the original purchase price per share of $81.42, plus any declared and unpaid dividends. If the assets of the Company were insufficient to pay the full preferential amounts to the holders of Series B, the assets would have been distributed ratably among the holders of Series B in proportion to their aggregate liquidation preference amounts. If the assets of the Company were insufficient to pay the full preferential amounts to the
holders of Series A-1, the assets would have been distributed ratably among the holders of Series A-1 in proportion to their aggregate liquidation preference amounts. If the assets of the Company were insufficient to pay the full preferential amounts to the holders of Series A-2, the assets would have been distributed ratably among the holders of Series A-2 in proportion to their aggregate liquidation preference amounts. If the assets of the Company were insufficient to pay the full preferential amounts to the holders of Series A-3, Series A-5 and Series A-6, the assets would have been distributed ratably among the holders of Series A-3, Series A-5 and Series A-6 in proportion to their aggregate liquidation preference amounts. If the assets of the Company were insufficient to pay the full preferential amounts to the holders of Series A-4, the assets would have been distributed ratably among the holders of Series A-4 in proportion to their aggregate liquidation preference amounts. After all liquidation preference payments have been made to the holders of the Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B, Series B-2 and Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 were to participate in the distribution of the remaining assets with the holders of the Companys common stock on an as-if converted basis.
In the event of, and simultaneously with, the closing of an event of sale of the Company (as defined in the Companys Amended Certificate of Incorporation), the Company was to redeem all of the shares of Series B, Series B-2 and Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding at the Special Liquidation Price, as defined. If the event of sale involved consideration other than cash, the Special Liquidation Price could have been paid with such consideration having a value equal to the Special Liquidation Price. The Special Liquidation Price was to be equal to an amount per share, which would be received by each holder of the Preferred Stock if, in connection with the event of sale, all the consideration paid in exchange for the assets or the shares of capital stock of the Company was actually paid to and received by the Company, and the Company was immediately liquidated thereafter and its assets distributed pursuant to the liquidation terms above.

There were no debt securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. There were 18 debt securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months at September 30, 2014 and there were no debt securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months at December 31, 2013. The aggregate unrealized loss on these securities as of September 30, 2014 was less than $14 thousand and the fair value was $29.8 million. The Company considered the decline in market value for these securities to be primarily attributable to current economic conditions. As it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2014.
The contractual term to maturity of all marketable securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2014 is less than one year.
7. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based upon the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
· Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
· Level 2Observable 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 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following table summarizes the financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

(1) Fair value is based upon quoted market prices.
(2) Fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets. Inputs are obtained from various sources, including market participants, dealers and brokers.
(3) Fair value is determined using the probability-weighted expected return model (PWERM), as discussed below. Changes in the fair value of the Level 3 assets and liabilities are recorded as other (expense) income in the condensed statement of operations.
The stock liability represents the accrued balance of the research and development expense related to the stock dividends that were issuable to Nordic Bioscience Clinical Development VII A/S (Nordic) in shares of Series A-6 (or in shares of common stock if the Company lists its common stock on a national exchange) as of December 31, 2013, for services rendered which is being recognized ratably over the estimated per patient treatment period under the three work statements executed with Nordic (the Nordic Work Statements) (see note 9). The fair value of the stock liability was based upon the fair value of the Series A-6 as determined using
PWERM, which considered the value of the Companys various classes of preferred stock. The fair value of the Companys various classes of preferred stock was determined through an analysis of the future values for equity assuming various future outcomes. Accordingly, share value was based upon the probability weighted present value of expected future net cash flows, considering each of the possible future events, discount rate as determined using the capital asset pricing model, as well as the rights and preferences of each share class. PWERM is complex as it requires numerous assumptions relating to potential future outcomes of equity. Accordingly, the valuation of the Companys stock liability was determined using Level 3 inputs. Upon completion of the Companys initial public offering, any payments owed by the Company to Nordic in relation to the Nordic Work Statements were changed from the right to receive shares of Series A-6 to the right to receive a total cash payment from the Company of $4.3 million.
The warrant liability as of December 31, 2013, represents the liability for the warrants issued to the placement agent in connection with the Companys Series A-1 financing, to the investors in the Series B financing in April and May 2013, and to the lenders in connection with the Companys Loan and Security Agreement executed with Oxford and General Electric Capital Corporation in May 2011. The warrant liability was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. This method of valuation includes using inputs such as the fair value of the Companys common stock or preferred stock, historical volatility, the term of the warrant and risk free interest rates. Prior to its initial public offering, the fair value of the Companys shares of common stock and preferred stock is estimated using PWERM, as described above. Accordingly, the valuation of the warrant liability at December 31, 2013, was determined using Level 3 inputs. Upon completion of the Companys initial public offering, the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of A-1 convertible preferred stock were converted into the right to purchase shares of common stock and the Companys warrant liability was reclassified to equity.

Additions represent the value of the asset or liability for additional accrued shares of stock that were issuable to Nordic for services rendered in connection with the Companys Phase 3 Clinical Trial of abaloparatide-SC (see note 9), as well as the value of any new warrants issued during the period. The issuance of shares of Series A-6 represents the release of the quarterly stock dividends of Series A-6 accrued under the Nordic Work Statements (see note 9). The Nordic amendment represents amounts that were originally payable in shares of Series A-6, but converted to the right to receive cash upon completion of the Companys initial public offering and no longer require fair value measurement at September 30, 2014 (see note 9).
The fair value of the Companys note payable is determined using current applicable rates for similar instruments as of the balance sheet date. The carrying value of the Companys note payable approximated its fair value as of September 30, 2014, as the Companys interest rate is near current market rates. The fair value of the Companys notes payable was determined using Level 3 inputs.
8. License Agreements
On September 27, 2005, the Company entered into a license agreement (the Ipsen Agreement), as amended, with SCRAS S.A.S, a French corporation on behalf of itself and its affiliates (collectively, Ipsen). Under the Ipsen Agreement, Ipsen granted to the Company an exclusive right and license under certain Ipsen compound technology and related patents to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize certain compounds and related products in all countries, except Japan and (subject to certain co-marketing and co-promotion rights retained by Ipsen) France. With respect to France, if Ipsen exercises its co-marketing and co-promotion rights, then Ipsen may elect to receive a percentage of the aggregate revenue from the sale of products by both parties in
France (subject to a mid-double digit percentage cap), and Ipsen shall bear a corresponding percentage of the costs and expenses incurred by both parties with respect to such marketing and promotion efforts in France; Ipsen shall also pay Radius a mid-single digit royalty on Ipsens allocable portion of aggregate revenue from the sale of products by both parties in France. Abaloparatide is subject to the Ipsen Agreement. Ipsen also granted the Company an exclusive right and license under the Ipsen compound technology and related patents to make and have made compounds or product in Japan. Ipsen also granted the Company an exclusive right and license under certain Ipsen formulation technology and related patents solely for purposes of enabling the Company to develop, manufacture and commercialize compounds and products covered by the compound technology license in all countries, except Japan and (subject to certain co-marketing and co-promotion rights retained by Ipsen) France.
In consideration for these licenses, the Company made a nonrefundable, non-creditable payment of $250,000 to Ipsen, which was expensed during 2005. The Ipsen Agreement provides for further payments in the range of 10.0 million to 36.0 million ($12.6 million to $45.5 million) to Ipsen upon the achievement of certain development and commercialization milestones specified in the Ipsen Agreement, and for the payment of fixed 5% royalties on net sales of any product by the Company or its sub-licensees on a country-by-country basis until the last to expire of the licensed patents or for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale in such country of any product that includes the compound licensed from Ipsen or any analog thereof, whichever is longer.
If the Company sublicenses the rights licensed from Ipsen, then the Company will also be required to pay Ipsen a percentage of certain payments received from such sublicensee (in lieu of milestone payments not achieved at the time of such sublicense). The applicable percentage is in the low double digit range. In addition, if the Company or its sub-licensees commercialize a product that includes a compound discovered by it based on or derived from confidential Ipsen know-how, it will be obligated to pay to Ipsen a fixed low single digit royalty on net sales of such product on a country-by-country basis until the last to expire of its patents that cover such product or for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale of such product in such country, whichever is longer. In January 2006, we entered into a Pharmaceutical Development Agreement with Ipsen as contemplated by the Ipsen Agreement. In connection with the Ipsen Agreement and Pharmaceutical Development Agreement, the Company recorded $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million in costs during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which were incurred by Ipsen and charged to the Company for the manufacture of the clinical supply of the licensed compound.
9. Research Agreements
Abaloparatide-SC Phase 3 Clinical TrialOn March 29, 2011, the Company and Nordic entered into a Clinical Trial Services Agreement, a Work Statement NB-1 (the Work Statement NB-1) under such Clinical Trial Services Agreement and a related Stock Issuance Agreement, as amended to date (the Stock Issuance Agreement). Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-1, Nordic is managing the Phase 3 Clinical Trial (the Phase 3 Clinical Trial) of abaloparatide-SC and is being compensated for such services in a combination of cash and shares of stock.
In December 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the Work Statement NB-1(the First Amendment). Pursuant to the original terms of the Work Statement NB-1, the study was to be conducted in 10 countries at a specified number of sites within each country. The terms of the First Amendment (1) provided for two additional countries (the United States and India) in which the trial would be conducted, (2) specified a certain number of sites within each such additional country for the conduct of the study, and (3) amended various terms and provisions of the Work Statement NB-1 to reflect the addition of such countries and sites within the studys parameters. Payments to be made by the Company to Nordic under the First Amendment are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total up to 717,700 ($906,312) and $289,663, respectively, for the 15 additional study sites in India contemplated by the First Amendment and up to 1.2 million ($1.6 million) and $143,369, respectively, for the five additional study sites in the United States contemplated by the First Amendment.
In June 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Work Statement NB-1(the Second Amendment). Pursuant to the original terms of the Work Statement NB-1, as amended by the First Amendment, the study was to be conducted in 12 countries at a specified number of sites within each country. The terms of the Second Amendment (1) increased the overall number of sites by adding sites in Europe, Brazil and Argentina and removing other sites, (2) specified a certain number of sites within each country for the conduct of the study, and (3) amended various terms and provisions of the Work Statement NB-1 to reflect additional services to be provided at existing sites and the addition of the new study sites within the studys parameters. The Second Amendment also provided that cash payments to Nordic under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement as well as the payment of shares of stock under the related Stock Issuance Agreement will each be reduced by an amount of 11,941 ($15,079) per subject for any subjects enrolled in India or the United States. Such reductions are applied in pro rata monthly installments. Payments to be made by the Company to Nordic under the Second Amendment in connection with the additional services provided at existing sites and the conduct of the study at the new study sites are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total of up to 3.7 million ($4.7 million) and $205,540, respectively.
In March 2014, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Work Statement NB-1 (the Fourth Amendment). Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the Company agreed to pay to Nordic an additional performance incentive, or a Performance Incentive Payment, of $500,000 for every 50 patients that, subsequent to March 28, 2014, complete all end-of-study procedures, up to a maximum aggregate amount of additional payments equal to $5.0 million. Any Performance Incentive Payment would have been paid in cash in the event that the Companys initial public offering of its common stock was completed prior to May 31, 2014. If an initial public offering was not completed prior to May 31, 2014, any Performance Incentive Payments would have been paid through the issuance to Nordic of shares of capital stock of the Company under the same model for equity-based compensation contemplated by the Companys existing outstanding work statements under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement. On May 19, 2014, the Company entered into a fifth amendment to Work Statement NB-1, which amended the date prior to which an initial public offering must be completed to June 30, 2014. As the Company completed an initial public offering of its common stock on June 11, 2014, all Performance Incentive Payments will be paid in cash.
Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-1, the Company is required to make certain per patient payments denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars for each patient enrolled in the Phase 3 Clinical Trial followed by monthly payments for the duration of the study and final payments in two equal euro-denominated installments and two equal U.S. dollar-denominated installments. Changes to the Clinical Trial schedule may alter the timing, but not the aggregate amounts of the payments.
The Work Statement NB-1, as amended on December 9, 2011, June 18, 2012, March 28, 2014 and May 19, 2014, provides for a total of up to approximately 41.2 million ($52.0 million) of euro-denominated payments and a total of up to approximately $3.2 million of U.S. dollar-denominated payments over the course of the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, plus Performance Incentive Payments of up to $5.0 million. These payments may be adjusted based upon actual sites opened, work performed or number of patients enrolled.
Pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement, Nordic agreed to purchase the equivalent of 371,864 of Series A-5 at $8.142 per share, and 64,430 shares of Series A-5 were sold to Nordic on May 17, 2011 for proceeds of $525,154. These shares were exchanged for an aggregate of 6,443 shares of the Companys Series A-5 pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger) entered into in April 2011 by and among the Company, which was formerly known as MPM Acquisition Corp., (a public-reporting, Form 10 shell company at the time), RHI Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (MergerCo), and Radius Health, Inc., a privately-held Delaware corporation (Former Operating Company). Pursuant to the Merger, MergerCo merged with and into the Former Operating Company, with the Former Operating Company remaining as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Stock Issuance Agreement provided that Nordic was entitled to receive quarterly stock dividends, payable in shares of Series A-6 or shares of common stock if the Companys preferred stock had been converted in accordance with its amended certificate of incorporation, having an aggregate value, under the Work Statement NB-1, of up to 36.8 million ($46.5 million) (the Nordic Accruing Dividend). In the event Nordic sold the shares of Series A-5 or in the event the shares of Series A-5 were converted into common stock in accordance with the Companys amended certificate of incorporation, this right to receive the Nordic Accruing Dividend would terminate, but a right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Series A-6 or common stock, as applicable, would remain with Nordic as a contractual right under the Stock Issuance Agreement.
On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011 (the Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment), with Nordic. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment required that the Companys Board of Directors declare, as soon as reasonably practical, a stock dividend of twenty nine (29) shares of its Series A-6 for each share of the Companys then outstanding Series A-5, all of which were held by Nordic, for a total of 186,847 shares of Series A-6, in full satisfaction of all stock dividends payable in 2014 under the terms of the Stock Issuance Agreement in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3. In March 2014, Nordic requested that all 186,847 shares of Series A-6 be issued. Accordingly, the Companys Board of Directors declared and issued a dividend to Nordic of all 186,847 shares on March 31, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment further provided that in the event an initial public offering of the Companys common stock occurred prior to May 31, 2014, any payments owed by the Company to Nordic in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3, excluding Performance Incentive Payments, for all periods of time after 2014, would be changed from the right to receive stock to the right to receive a total cash payment from the Company of $4.3 million payable in ten equal monthly installments of $430,000 beginning on March 31, 2015. On May 19, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Stock Issuance Agreement, which amended the date prior to which an initial public offering must occur to June 30, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment also stipulated that all consideration to be paid to Nordic pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement at any time after the consummation of an initial public offering be payable in cash. As the Company completed an initial public offering on June 11, 2014, Nordic no longer has the right to receive stock from the Company and agreed to be paid in cash for all periods after the consummation of the initial public offering.
Prior to the issuance of shares of stock to Nordic in satisfaction of the Nordic Accruing Dividend, the liability to issue shares of stock was being accounted for as a liability in the Companys balance sheet, based upon the fair value of the Series A-6 as determined using
PWERM. Changes in the fair value from the date of accrual to the date of issuance of the Series A-6 shares were recorded as a gain or loss in other (expense) income in the statement of operations.
The Company recognizes research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-1, First Amendment and Second Amendment ratably over the estimated per patient treatment period beginning upon enrollment in the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, or a twenty-month period. The Company recognizes research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Fourth Amendment on a per patient basis when the End-of-Study visit and all other required procedures are completed. The Company recorded $1.2 million and $7.6 million of research and development expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $8.1 million and $25.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for per patient costs incurred for patients that had enrolled in the Phase 3 Clinical Study.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a liability of $9.5 million reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet resulting from services provided by Nordic, which are payable in cash.
Abaloparatide-SC Phase 3 Clinical Extension StudyIn February 2013, the Company entered into a Work Statement NB-3 (the Work Statement NB-3) under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement and the related Stock Issuance Agreement. Pursuant to Work Statement NB-3, Nordic will perform an extension study to evaluate six months of standard-of-care osteoporosis management following the completion of the 18-month abaloparatide-SC Phase 3 Clinical Trial (the Extension Study) and will be compensated for such services in a combination of cash and shares of stock. Under the terms of a Letter of Intent that the Company entered into with Nordic on October 22, 2012 setting forth the parties obligations to negotiate in good faith to enter into Work Statement NB-3, the Company was required to make an initial payment of 806,468 ($1.0 million).
In March 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Work Statement NB-3 (the NB-3 Amendment). The NB-3 Amendment was effective as of February 28, 2014 and provides that Nordic will perform a Period 2 extension study (the Second Extension), to evaluate an additional eighteen months of standard-of-care osteoporosis management following the Period 1 extension of six months upon completion of the Phase 3 clinical trial of the Companys abaloparatide-SC product. Payments in cash to be made by the Company to Nordic under the NB-3 Amendment are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total up to approximately 3.0 million ($3.7 million) and $527,740, respectively. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to Nordic shares of the Companys series A-6 having a value of up to approximately 3.0 million ($3.7 million) and $527,740 as additional payment for the services to be provided under the NB-3 Amendment, with the issuance of such shares to be made pursuant to the terms of an Amendment No. 2, entered into by the Company with Nordic on March 28, 2014, to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011.
Payments in cash to be made to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-3, as amended by the NB-3 Amendment, are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total up to 7.5 million ($9.5 million) and $1.1 million, respectively. In addition, the Company will issue to Nordic, shares of the Companys Series A-6 having a value of up to 7.5 million ($9.5 million) and $0.8 million, as additional payment for services to be provided under the Work Statement NB-3 and the Services Agreement.
The Stock Issuance Agreement provided that, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Nordic was entitled to receive quarterly stock dividends in connection with services performed under the Work Statement NB-3, payable in shares of Series A-6 or shares of common stock if the Companys preferred stock automatically converted into common stock in accordance with its amended certificate of incorporation, having an aggregate value of up to 7.5 million ($9.5 million) and $0.8 million. In the event Nordic sold the shares of Series A-5 or in the event the shares of Series A-5 were converted into common stock in accordance with the Companys amended certificate of incorporation, this right to receive the Nordic Accruing Dividend would terminate, but a right to receive an equivalent number of shares of Series A-6 or common stock, as applicable, would remain with Nordic as a contractual right under the Stock Issuance Agreement.
On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011 (the Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment), with Nordic. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment required that the Companys Board of Directors declare, as soon as reasonably practical, a stock dividend of twenty nine (29) shares of its Series A-6 for each share of the Companys then outstanding Series A-5, all of which were held by Nordic, for a total of 186,847 shares of Series A-6, in full satisfaction of all stock dividends payable in 2014 under the terms of the Stock Issuance Agreement in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3. In March 2014, Nordic requested that all 186,847 shares of Series A-6 be issued. Accordingly, the Companys Board of Directors declared and issued a dividend to Nordic of all 186,847 shares on March 31, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment further provided that in the event an initial public offering of the Companys common stock occurred prior to May 31, 2014, any payments owed by the Company to Nordic in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3, excluding Performance Incentive Payments, for all periods of time after 2014, would be changed from the right to receive stock to the right to receive a total cash payment from the Company of $4.3 million payable in ten equal monthly installments of $430,000 beginning on March 31, 2015. On May 19, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Stock Issuance Agreement, which amended the date prior to which an initial public offering must occur to June 30, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment also stipulated that all consideration to be paid to
Nordic pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement at any time after the consummation of an initial public offering be payable in cash. As the Company completed an initial public offering on June 11, 2014, Nordic no longer has the right to receive stock from the Company and agreed to be paid in cash for all periods after the consummation of the initial public offering.
Prior to the issuance of the shares of Series A-6 to Nordic in satisfaction of the Nordic Accruing Dividend, the liability to issue shares of stock was being accounted for as a liability in the Companys balance sheet, based upon the fair value of the Series A-6 as determined using PWERM. Changes in the fair value from the date of accrual to the date of issuance of the Series A-6 shares are recorded as a gain or loss in other (expense) income in the statement of operations.
On December 6, 2013, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (the Letter of Intent) with Nordic, which provided that the Company and Nordic would continue to negotiate the definitive terms of the NB-3 Amendment, which provides for an additional 18 months of standard-of-care treatment for those patients enrolled in the Extension Study being performed under Work Statement NB-3. The NB-3 Amendment was executed on March 28, 2014 and provides for payment by the Company to Nordic of both cash and equity compensation in consideration of the services provided by Nordic, with the equity portion of such compensation to be made pursuant to an Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company was required to make an initial payment of 222,573 ($0.3 million) and agreed to commence payment of the cash compensation due in consideration of the services being provided by Nordic under the Amendment.
The Company recognizes research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-3 and Amendment ratably over the estimated per patient treatment periods beginning upon enrollment, or over a nine-month and nineteen-month period, respectively. The Company recorded $2.3 million and $1.3 million of research and development expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $7.7 million and $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for per patient costs incurred for patients that had enrolled in the Extension Study and Second Extension.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had a liability of $4.5 million reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet resulting from services provided by Nordic, which are payable in cash.
Abaloparatide-TD Phase 2 Clinical TrialOn July 26, 2012, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (the Phase 2 Letter of Intent) with Nordic, which provided that the Company and Nordic would, subject to compliance by the Company with certain requirements of its Certificate of Incorporation and applicable securities laws, negotiate in good faith to enter into (1) a Work Statement NB-2 (the Work Statement NB-2), a draft of which is attached to the Phase 2 Letter of Intent, and (2) an amendment to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement.
In February 2013, the Company executed the final Work Statement NB-2 under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement and the related Stock Issuance Agreement. Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-2, Nordic would provide clinical trial services relating to the Phase 2 Clinical Trial and would be compensated for such services in a combination of cash and shares of stock. Payments in cash to be made by the Company to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-2 were denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and totaled up to 3.6 million ($4.5 million) and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition, the Company would issue to Nordic shares of its Series A-6 stock having a value of up to $2.9 million, as additional payment for services to be provided under the Work Statement NB-2 and the Clinical Trial Services Agreement.
As of December 31, 2013, 32,215 shares of Series A-6 were due to Nordic under Work Statement NB-2, or, after the automatic conversion into common stock of the Companys preferred stock, 141,294 shares the Companys common stock. In December 2013, Nordic requested that all 32,215 shares of Series A-6 accrued as of December 31, 2013 under Work Statement NB-2 be issued. Accordingly, the Companys Board of Directors declared a dividend to Nordic of all 32,215 shares of Series A-6 accrued under Work Statement NB-2 on December 31, 2013, which constituted all shares of Series A-6 due under Work Statement NB-2.
The Company recognized research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-2 ratably over the estimated per patient treatment period beginning upon enrollment in the Phase 2 Clinical Trial, or a nine-month period. The Company recorded no expense and $0.6 million of research and development expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and nil and $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for per patient costs incurred for patients that had enrolled in the Phase 2 Clinical Trial. As of September 30, 2014, all obligations due to Nordic under Work Statement NB-2 had been paid.
The Company is also responsible for certain pass-through costs in connection with the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, Extension Study and Phase 2 Clinical Trial. Pass through costs are expensed as incurred or upon delivery. The Company recognized research and development expense of $0.3 million and $1.3 million for pass-through costs during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.8 million and $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Executive Overview
We are a science-driven biopharmaceutical company focused on developing new therapeutics for patients with osteoporosis as well as other serious endocrine-mediated diseases. Our lead product candidate is the investigational drug abaloparatide (BA058), a bone anabolic for the potential treatment of osteoporosis delivered via subcutaneous injection, which we refer to as abaloparatide-SC. We are currently in Phase 3 development of abaloparatide-SC and plan to announce top-line 18-month fracture data from this study in late December 2014. If the results meet the study endpoints, we plan to submit a new drug application, or NDA, in the United States, and a marketing authorization application, or MAA, in Europe, in mid-2015. We hold worldwide commercialization rights to abaloparatide-SC, other than in Japan, and subject to a regulatory review and a favorable regulatory outcome, we anticipate our first commercial sales of abaloparatide-SC will take place in 2016. We are leveraging our investment in abaloparatide-SC to develop a line extension that is designed to improve patient convenience by enabling administration of abaloparatide through a short-wear-time patch, which we refer to as abaloparatide-TD. We have recently completed a successful Phase 2 proof of concept study of abaloparatide-TD.
Our current clinical product portfolio also includes the investigational drug RAD1901, a selective estrogen receptor down-regulator/degrader, or SERD, and RAD140, a nonsteroidal selective androgen receptor modulator, or SARM. We are developing RAD1901 at higher doses for the potential treatment of metastatic breast cancer, and intend to advance its development with the initiation of Phase 1 clinical trials, including a maximum tolerated dose study that has commenced patient dosing and a Phase 1b clinical trial in metastatic breast cancer patients, which is expected to commence in late 2014. The precise patient population will be defined in the study protocol and determined in conjunction with our investigators. At lower doses, RAD1901 acts as a selective estrogen-receptor modulator, or SERM. Low-dose RAD1901 has shown potential to be effective for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes in a successful Phase 2 proof of concept study. We intend to commence a Phase 2b clinical trial in vasomotor symptoms in the second half of 2015. RAD140 resulted from an internal drug discovery program that began in 2005. RAD140 has demonstrated potent anabolic activity on muscle and bone in preclinical studies and has clinical potential in a number of indications including the treatment of weight loss due to cancer cachexia, sarcopenia, frailty and oncology.
Abaloparatide
Abaloparatide is a synthetic peptide analog of parathyroid hormone-related protein, or PTHrP, that we are developing as a potential bone anabolic treatment for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that affects nearly 10 million people in the United States, with an additional approximately 43 million people at increased risk for the disease. It is characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to greater fragility and an increase in fracture risk. Anabolic agents, like Forteo (teriparatide), are used to increase bone mineral density, or BMD, and to reduce the risk of fracture. We believe abaloparatide has the potential to increase BMD and bone quality to a greater degree and at a faster rate than other approved drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis. We are developing two formulations of abaloparatide:
· Abaloparatide-SC is an injectable subcutaneous formulation of abaloparatide. In August 2009, we announced positive Phase 2 data from a study that showed abaloparatide-SC produced faster and greater BMD increases at the spine and the hip with substantially less hypercalcemia than Forteo, which is the only approved subcutaneous injectable anabolic agent for the treatment of osteoporosis in the United States. The abaloparatide-SC Phase 2 manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism and an online version is expected to be available in November 2014. A subsequent Phase 2 clinical trial announced in January 2014 confirmed the results of our first clinical trial as data from the second study showed that abaloparatide-SC produced BMD increases from baseline in the spine and hip that were comparable to our earlier Phase 2 clinical trial. In April 2011, we commenced a Phase 3 clinical trial of abaloparatide-SC. Enrollment was completed in March 2013. The last patient, last visit for the 18-month anabolic treatment portion of the Phase 3 clinical trial occurred during October 2014 and all continuing patients are now enrolled in the 6-month standard-of-care extension study. We plan to announce top-line 18-month data, including efficacy and safety data for each treatment group included in the 18-month anabolic phase, in late December 2014. Assuming the study meets its endpoints, we plan to use the results from this Phase 3 clinical trial to support a new drug application, or NDA, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and believe we could obtain approval of the NDA in 2016.
· Abaloparatide-TD is a line extension of abaloparatide-SC in the form of a convenient, short-wear-time (approximately five minutes) transdermal patch. Data from a recent Phase 2 clinical trial showed abaloparatide-TD produced a statistically significant mean percent increase from baseline in BMD as compared to placebo at the lumbar spine and at the hip. These Phase 2 results demonstrated proof of concept by achieving a dose-dependent increase in BMD. Following additional formulation development work, we intend to advance an optimized abaloparatide-TD product in additional clinical studies and in a Phase 3 bridging study in order to submit an application for regulatory approval. We hold worldwide commercialization rights to abaloparatide-TD technology.
In April 2011, we began the dosing of subjects in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial managed by Nordic Bioscience Clinical Development VII A/S, or Nordic, at certain clinical sites operated by the Center for Clinical and Basic Research, a leading global clinical research organization, or CRO, with extensive experience in global osteoporosis registration studies. We designed this Phase 3 study to enroll a total of 2,400 patients to be randomized equally to receive daily doses of one of the following: 80 micrograms (µg) of abaloparatide, a matching placebo, or the approved dose of 20 µg of Forteo for 18 months. The study also includes a 6-month extension period in order to obtain 24-months of fracture data, as requested by the FDA. We plan to submit the NDA with the 24-month fracture data. The study was designed to evaluate whether abaloparatide is superior to placebo for prevention of vertebral fracture. The study was also designed to evaluate whether abaloparatide is superior to Forteo for greater BMD improvement at major skeletal sites and for a lower
occurrence of hypercalcemia, a condition in which the calcium level in a patients blood is above normal. We plan to announce top-line fracture data, including efficacy and safety data for each treatment group included in the 18-month anabolic phase, in late December 2014. We will remain blinded at the patient and site level until such time as the 6-month standard-of-care extension study is completed. Following completion of this Phase 3 clinical trial, if the results from this study indicate that the study endpoints were met, we intend to submit for regulatory approval in the United States and Europe in mid-2015. With standard review time and a favorable regulatory outcome, we expect to begin commercial sales in 2016.
On May 9, 2014, we submitted a breakthrough therapy designation request to the FDA for abaloparatide-SC for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Abaloparatide-SC was selected for clinical development on the basis of its demonstrated marked effects on increasing bone mass in non-clinical models. The recently completed analyses of two abaloparatide Phase 2 clinical trials have confirmed these non-clinical results, demonstrating potentially important clinical benefits relative to current anabolic therapies, including faster and greater increases in hip (non-vertebral) and spine (vertebral) BMD. We believe these results could support a breakthrough therapy designation. In July 2014, the FDA responded to our request and indicated that abaloparatide-SC would be considered for a breakthrough therapy designation if clinical evidence, such as the results of our Phase 3 clinical trial, demonstrate that patients dosed with abaloparatide-SC show substantial improvement in treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, or safety, over existing therapies. Once we have evaluated the results from the Phase 3 clinical trial, a decision will be made on whether or not to re-submit our request for breakthrough designation with focus on areas highlighted by the FDA.
RAD1901
RAD1901 is a SERD that we believe crosses the blood-brain barrier and that we are evaluating for the potential treatment of metastatic breast cancer. RAD1901 has been shown to bind with good selectivity to the estrogen receptor and to have both estrogen-like and estrogen-antagonistic effects in different tissues. In many cancers, hormones, like estrogen, stimulate tumor growth and a desired therapeutic goal is to block this estrogen-dependent growth while inducing apoptosis of the cancer cells. SERDs are an emerging class of endocrine therapies that directly induce estrogen receptor, or ER, degradation, enabling them to remove the estrogen growth signal in ER-dependent tumors without allowing ligand-independent resistance to develop. There is currently only one SERD, Faslodex (fulvestrant), approved in the United States for the treatment of hormone-receptor positive metastatic breast cancer. In 2012, the worldwide market for Faslodex exceeded $650.0 million. However, for patients with brain metastases, there are no approved targeted therapies that cross the blood-brain barrier. If successfully developed, we believe there is a significant opportunity for RAD1901 to be the first ER-targeted therapy that crosses the blood-brain barrier to more effectively treat ER- positive metastatic breast cancer and potentially reduce both intracranial and extracranial tumors.
In June 2014, we initiated a Phase 1 maximum tolerated dose, or MTD, study of RAD1901 in healthy volunteers. The study is designed to evaluate the tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics of RAD1901, and also to use 18F-estradiol positron emission tomography, or FES-PET, imaging to provide a pharmacodynamic assessment of estrogen receptor turnover following administration of RAD1901. Levels of RAD1901 in cerebrospinal fluid samples taken from study subjects will be measured to confirm that RAD1901 has crossed the blood-brain barrier. Based upon initial study results, FES-PET imaging of RAD1901 has demonstrated potent SERD activity. As of September 30, 2014, 40 subjects had completed dose escalation in the ongoing MTD study, and FES-PET imaging had been completed in a total of six subjects across two different doses. Each of these six subjects demonstrated, based on FES-PET imaging, suppression of the FES-PET signal to background levels after six days of dosing. In addition, RAD1901, at the doses that showed suppression of the FES-PET signal, was well tolerated in these six patients. We expect to report additional results from the MTD study of RAD1901 and to commence a Phase 1b clinical study of RAD1901 for metastatic breast cancer in late 2014.
In March 2014, we submitted to the FDA an application for orphan drug product designation of RAD1901 for the treatment of breast cancer brain metastases. In June 2014, we received a request from the FDA for additional data with respect to our orphan drug designation application. We plan to meet with the FDA and are working to provide them with the data requested.
We are also developing RAD1901 at lower doses as a selective estrogen receptor modulator, or SERM, for the potential treatment of vasomotor symptoms. Historically, hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, with estrogen (with or without the addition of progesterone) was considered the most efficacious approach to relieving menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. However, because of the concerns about the potential long-term risks and contraindications associated with HRT, we believe a significant need exists for new therapeutic treatment options to treat vasomotor symptoms. In a Phase 2 proof of concept study, RAD1901 at lower doses demonstrated a reduction in the frequency and severity of moderate and severe hot flashes. We intend to commence a Phase 2b trial in vasomotor symptoms in the second half of 2015.
Our efforts and resources are focused primarily on developing abaloparatide-SC, abaloparatide-TD, RAD1901 and our other pharmaceutical product candidates, raising capital and recruiting personnel. We have no product sales to date and we will not receive any revenue from product sales unless and until we receive regulatory approval for abaloparatide-SC from the FDA, or equivalent foreign regulatory bodies. However, developing pharmaceutical products is a lengthy and very expensive process. Accordingly, our success depends not only on demonstrating the safety and efficacy of abaloparatide, but also on our ability to finance the development of these products, which will require substantial additional funding to complete development and submit applications seeking
marketing approval. Our ability to raise this additional financing will depend on our ability to execute on the abaloparatide development plan, manage and coordinate, on a cost-effective basis, the required components of the NDA submission for abaloparatide-SC and scale-up abaloparatide-SC and abaloparatide-TD manufacturing capacity. In addition, we currently have no sales or distribution capabilities and thus our ability to market abaloparatide once approved may depend in part on our ability to enter into and maintain collaborative relationships, which will depend on the strength of our clinical data, our access to capital and other factors.
Recent Financings
On June 11, 2014, we completed our initial public offering whereby we sold 6,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $8.00 per share. The shares began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on June 6, 2014. In connection with the completion of the offering, all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock converted into 19,465,132 shares of common stock, and 2,862,654 shares of common stock were issued in satisfaction of accumulated dividends accrued on the preferred stock. In addition, all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of A-1 convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of series B-2 convertible preferred stock were converted into the right to purchase 149,452 shares of common stock and our warrant liability was reclassified to equity. On June 18, 2014 and June 25, 2014, the underwriters purchased an additional 512,744 shares in the aggregate by exercising a portion of the over-allotment option granted to them in connection with the initial public offering. As a result of the closing of the initial public offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, we received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, of approximately $50.4 million.
On October 7, 2014, we completed an additional public offering whereby we sold 2,750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $18.25 per share, for aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, of approximately $46.9 million. On October 7, 2014, the underwriters purchased an additional 378,524 shares in the aggregate by exercising a portion of the over-allotment option granted to them in connection with the offering. As a result of the public offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, we received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs of approximately $53.3 million.
Future Financing Needs
We expect to finance the future development costs of abaloparatide-SC, abaloparatide-TD and RAD1901 with our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, or through strategic financing opportunities, future offerings of our equity, or the incurrence of debt. We anticipate that we will make determinations as to which additional programs to pursue and how much funding to direct to each program on an ongoing basis in response to the scientific and clinical data of each product candidate, progress on securing third-party collaborators, as well as ongoing assessments of such product candidates commercial potential and our ability to fund this product development.
The successful development of our product candidates is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs, including, but not limited to, the variables listed below. A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our product candidates could mean a significant change in the cost and timing associated with the development of that product candidate.
Abaloparatide-SC is our only product candidate in late stage development, and our business currently depends heavily on its successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization. We have not submitted an NDA to the FDA or comparable applications to foreign regulatory authorities. Obtaining approval of a product candidate is an extensive, lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, and any approval of abaloparatide-SC may be delayed, limited or denied for many reasons, including:
· we may not be able to demonstrate that abaloparatide is safe and effective as a treatment for osteoporosis to the satisfaction of the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities;
· the results of our clinical studies may not meet the level of statistical or clinical significance required for marketing approval;
· the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with the number, design, size, conduct or implementation of our clinical studies;
· the CRO that we retain to conduct clinical studies may take actions outside of our control that materially adversely impact our clinical studies;
· the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may not find the data from preclinical studies and clinical studies sufficient to demonstrate that abaloparatides clinical and other potential benefits outweigh its safety risks;
· the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of data from our preclinical studies and clinical studies or may require that we conduct additional studies;
· the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may not agree with our proposed labeling and may require labeling that undermines or otherwise significantly impairs the commercial value of the product if it were to be approved with such labeling;
· the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may not accept data generated at our clinical study sites;
· the FDA may require development of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, as a condition of approval;
· if our NDA is reviewed by an advisory committee, the FDA may have difficulties scheduling an advisory committee meeting in a timely manner or the advisory committee may recommend against approval of our application or may recommend that the FDA require, as a condition of approval, additional preclinical studies or clinical studies, limitations on approved labeling or distribution and use restrictions; or
· the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may identify deficiencies in the manufacturing processes or facilities of our third-party manufacturers.
In addition, the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may change their approval policies or adopt new regulations. For example, on February 15, 2012, we received a letter from the FDA stating that, after internal consideration, the agency believes that a minimum of 24-months of fracture data is necessary for approval of new products for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, and our ongoing abaloparatide-SC pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial is designed to produce fracture data based on an 18-month primary endpoint. Based on our discussions with the FDA, we believe that continued use of the 18-month primary endpoint will be acceptable, provided that our NDA includes the 24-month fracture data derived from a 6-month extension of the abaloparatide 80 µg and placebo groups in our Phase 3 clinical trial. In the extension study, patients are receiving an approved alendronate (generic Fosamax) therapy for osteoporosis management. We plan to submit the NDA with the 24-month fracture data. We cannot be certain that the FDA, or other regulatory authorities, will be supportive of this plan, will not change this approval policy again, or adopt other approval policies or regulations that adversely affect any NDA that we may submit.
Financial Overview
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of clinical testing costs, including payments in cash and stock made to CROs, salaries and related personnel costs, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers for regulatory and quality assurance support, licensing of drug compounds and other expenses relating to the manufacture, development, testing and enhancement of our product candidates. We expense our research and development costs as they are incurred.
None of the research and development expenses in relation to our product candidates are currently borne by third parties. Our lead product candidate is abaloparatide and it represents the largest portion of our research and development expenses for our product candidates. We began tracking program expenses for abaloparatide-SC in 2005, and program expenses from inception to September 30, 2014 were approximately $170.8 million. We began tracking program expenses for abaloparatide-TD in 2007, and program expenses from inception to September 30, 2014 were approximately $30.6 million. We began tracking program expenses for RAD1901 in 2006, and program expenses from inception to September 30, 2014 were approximately $16.9 million. We began tracking program expenses for RAD140 in 2008, and program expenses from inception to September 30, 2014 were approximately $5.2 million. These expenses relate primarily to external costs associated with manufacturing, preclinical studies and clinical trial costs.
Costs related to facilities, depreciation, stock-based compensation and research and development support services are not directly charged to programs as they benefit multiple research programs that share resources.
We estimate that future development costs for abaloparatide-SC may exceed $44.0 million, including $10.0 million for clinical costs, $23.0 million for license and milestone payments and NDA submission fees, $10.0 million for manufacturing costs and $1.0 million for preclinical costs. For abaloparatide-TD, we estimate that future development costs may exceed $44.0 million, including $35.0 million for clinical costs, $8.0 million for manufacturing costs, and $1.0 million for preclinical costs and NDA submission fees.
Our current strategy is to commence a Phase 1b clinical study of RAD1901 for the potential treatment of metastatic breast cancer in late 2014. However, due to its early stage of development, we are not yet able to determine the possible marketing approval timeline or future development costs at this time. We intend to initiate a Phase 2b clinical study of RAD1901 for the potential treatment of vasomotor symptoms in the second half of 2015. We are currently designing the trial and have not finalized the full development plan. In addition, we are currently evaluating alternative development options for RAD140 and anticipate selecting a therapeutic area of focus during 2015. Therefore, it is currently not possible to project the future development costs or possible marketing approval timelines at this time.
The following table sets forth our research and development expenses related to abaloparatide-SC, abaloparatide-TD, RAD1901 and RAD140 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance and other administrative personnel, professional fees, business insurance, rent, general legal activities, including the cost of maintaining our intellectual property portfolio, and other corporate expenses.
Our results also include stock-based compensation expense as a result of the issuance of stock option grants to employees, directors and consultants. The stock-based compensation expense is included in the respective categories of expense in the statement of operations (research and development and general and administrative expenses). We expect to record additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense in the future, which may be significant.
Interest Income and Interest Expense
Interest income reflects interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
Interest expense reflects interest due under our loan and security agreement, entered into on May 23, 2011 with General Electric Capital Corporation, or GECC, as agent and lender, and Oxford Finance, as a lender, or the Original Credit Facility, and our loan and security agreement entered into on May 30, 2014 with Solar Capital Ltd., or Solar, as agent and lender, and Oxford Finance as, as lender, or the New Credit Facility. Under the Original Credit Facility, we drew $12.5 million under an initial and second term loan during the year ended December 31, 2011 and an additional $12.5 million under a third term loan during the year ended December 31, 2012. Under the New Credit Facility, we drew $21.0 million under an initial term loan on May 30, 2014 and $4.0 million under a second term loan on July 10, 2014.
On May 30, 2014, we used approximately $9.3 million of the New Credit Facility to repay all the amounts owed under the Original Credit Facility.
Other (Expense) Income
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, other (expense) income reflects changes in the fair value of our warrant liability and the series A-6 convertible preferred stock liability and stock asset from the date of the initial accrual to the reporting date as discussed in note 7 to our condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or
GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, as well as related disclosures. We evaluate our policies and estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to accrued clinical expenses, research and development expenses, stock-based compensation and fair value measures, which we discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We have reviewed our policies and estimates to determine our critical accounting policies for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. We have made no material changes to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended.

Research and development expensesFor the three months ended September 30, 2014, research and development expense was $13.8 million compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 11%. This decrease is primarily a result of a decrease in the total professional contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC and abaloparatide-TD, partially offset by an increase in professional contract service costs associated with the development of RAD1901. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred professional contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC, abaloparatide-TD and RAD1901 of $10.1 million, $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, compared to $11.8 million, $2.9 million and zero, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC is primarily a result of fewer patients enrolled in the Phase 3 clinical trial as of September 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. We expect that costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC will continue to decrease over the course of the clinical trial as patients complete treatment under the 18-month fracture study and 6-month extension study. In addition, there will be variability from quarter to quarter in the costs for abaloparatide-SC, driven primarily by the euro/dollar exchange rate, which is more fully described below under Research and Development Agreements. The decrease in contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-TD is a result of the completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial in September 2013. We expect that the costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-TD will increase as we begin to advance an optimized abaloparatide-TD product in additional clinical studies, followed by a Phase 3 bridging study. The increase in contract service costs associated with the development of RAD1901 is a result of the initiation of various preclinical and manufacturing activities in 2014. We expect that the costs associated with the development of RAD1901 will increase as we begin to advance RAD1901 through various preclinical and clinical studies, including a Phase 1b study in metastatic breast cancer, which is expected to commence in late 2014, and a Phase 2b study in vasomotor symptoms, which is expected to commence in the second half of 2015.
General and administrative expenses For the three months ended September 30, 2014, general and administrative expense was $2.8 million compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1.2 million, or 75%. This increase was primarily the result of higher legal fees and consulting support costs of approximately $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014. This increase can also be attributed to higher compensation costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense, due to an overall increase in employee headcount.
Other income (expense), netFor the three months ended September 30, 2014, there was no other income, net of other expense, as compared to other expense, net of other income during the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $2.6 million. Other income, net of other expense, primarily reflects changes in the fair value of the stock liability, other liability and warrant liability as discussed in notes 7 and 9 to the financial statements included in our condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was no other income, net of expense, recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as, following our initial public offering on June 6, 2014, the warrant liability was reclassified to equity. The $2.6 million of other expense, net of income, as of September 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of our stock liability and other liability as a result of an increase in the fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock from June 30, 2013 to September 30, 2013.
Interest (expense) incomeFor the three months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense, net of interest income, was $0.8 million compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $0.2 million, or 34%. This increase was primarily a result of higher average debt outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Research and development expenses For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, research and development expense was $34.2 million compared to $49.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $14.9 million, or 30%. This decrease is primarily a result of a decrease in the total professional contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC and abaloparatide-TD, partially offset by an increase in professional contract services costs associated with the development of RAD1901. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred professional contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC, abaloparatide-TD and RAD1901 of $26.8 million, $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to $35.8 million, $10.9 million and zero, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC is primarily a result of fewer patients enrolled in the Phase 3 clinical trial as of September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We expect that costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-SC will continue to decrease over the course of the clinical trial as patients complete treatment under the 18-month fracture study and 6-month extension study. In addition, there will be variability from quarter to quarter in the costs for abaloparatide-SC, driven primarily by the euro/dollar exchange rate, which is more fully described below under Research and Development Agreements. The decrease in contract service costs associated with the development of abaloparatide-TD is a result of the completion of the Phase 2 clinical trial (which began dosing patients in September 2012) in September 2013. The increase in contract service costs associated with the development of RAD1901 is a result of the initiation of various preclinical and manufacturing activities in 2014.
General and administrative expenses For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, general and administrative expense was $8.0 million compared to $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $3.4 million, or 73%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation costs, including an increase of $1.1 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense as a result of the issuance of new option awards during the period, as well as the acceleration of vesting for a portion of our Chief Executive Officers outstanding option awards, in accordance with his employment agreement, upon completion of our initial public offering. This increase can also be attributed to higher legal fees and consulting support costs of approximately $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Other (expense) income, net For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other expense, net of other income, was $0.5 million, as compared to other income, net of expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $7.5 million. Other expense, net of other income, primarily reflects changes in the fair value of the stock asset, stock liability, other liability and warrant liability as discussed in notes 7 and 9 to our financial statements included in our condensed quarterly financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The $0.5 million of other expense, net of income, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in the fair value of our warrant liability as a result of an overall increase in the fair value of the underlying common stock from December 31, 2013 to June 6, 2014. Following our initial public offering on June 6, 2014, our warrant liability was reclassified to equity. The $7.5 million of other income, net of other expense, as of September 30, 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of our stock liability and other liability as a result of a decrease in the fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013.
Loss on retirement of note payableFor the nine months ended September 30, 2014, loss on retirement of note payable was $0.2 million. This loss was a result of the prepayment of our Original Credit Facility on May 30, 2014.
Interest (expense) income For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense, net of interest income, was $1.6 million compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 16%. This decrease was
primarily a result of lower average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception to September 30, 2014, we have incurred an accumulated deficit of $326.3 million, primarily as a result of expenses incurred through a combination of research and development activities related to our various product candidates and expenses supporting those activities. Our total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of September 30, 2014 was $68.5 million. We have financed our operations since inception primarily through the private sale of preferred stock as well as the receipt of $5.0 million in fees associated with an option agreement. In addition, on June 11, 2014, we completed our initial public offering. As a result of the closing of the initial public offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, we received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, of approximately $50.4 million. On October 7, 2014, we completed an additional public offering whereby we sold 2,750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $18.25 per share. As a result of the closing of the additional offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, we received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs, of approximately $53.3 million. We have also borrowed $25.0 million under our Original Credit Facility in three term loans and $25.0 million under our New Credit Facility.
We believe that the aggregate proceeds from the offering on October 7, 2014, together with our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2014, will be sufficient to fund our operations into the fourth quarter of 2015. Accordingly, we plan to pursue strategic financing alternatives that could include, but are not limited to, partnering or other collaboration agreements, or the completion of an additional public offering. However, there is no guarantee that any of these financing opportunities will be available to us on favorable terms, and some could be dilutive to existing stockholders. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the scope and progress made in our research and development activities and our clinical trials. If we fail to obtain additional future capital, we may be unable to complete our planned preclinical and clinical trials and obtain approval of any product candidates from the FDA and other foreign regulatory authorities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $32.0 million, which was primarily the result of a net loss of $44.5 million, partially offset by $6.3 million of net non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operations and net changes in working capital of $6.2 million. The $44.5 million net loss was primarily due to expenses incurred in connection with our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial of abaloparatide-SC. The $6.3 million net non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operations included $2.7 million of research and development expenses settled in stock, stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million and a $0.5 million increase in the fair value of our warrant liability and stock liability as a result of an increase in the fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock and common stock from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $29.9 million, which was primarily the result of a net loss of $48.2 million, partially offset by net changes in working capital of $13.6 million and $4.7 million net non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operations. The $48.2 million net loss was primarily due to expenses incurred in connection with our ongoing Phase 3 clinical study of abaloparatide-SC and our Phase 2 clinical study of abaloparatide-TD, which finished dosing patients during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The $4.7 million net non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operations included $10.6 million of research and development expenses settled in stock and stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million, partially offset by a $7.5 million reduction in the fair value of our warrant liability, stock liability and other liability as a result of a decline in the fair value of the underlying convertible preferred stock from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $53.0 million, which was primarily the result of $53.3 million of purchases of marketable securities. Net cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6.3 million, which was primarily the result of $17.1 million of purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by $10.8 million of net proceeds received from the sale or maturity of marketable securities.
Our investing cash flows will be impacted by the timing of purchases and sales of marketable securities. All of our marketable securities have contractual maturities of less than one year. Due to the short-term nature of our marketable securities, we would not expect our operational results or cash flows to be significantly affected by a change in market interest rates.
On January 7, 2014, we entered into a letter agreement with Vetter Pharma International GMBH, or Vetter that authorized Vetter to begin purchasing and installing dedicated equipment that will be utilized in the formulation and filling of abaloparatide-SC. In accordance with the letter agreement, the total capital expenditures are not to exceed 0.6 ($0.8 million) without our prior written consent. We expect that all equipment will be purchased and installed in 2014 and funded by our existing cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $89.1 million, as compared to $37.0 million net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted of $50.4 million of net proceeds from our initial public offering, $27.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of our series B-2 convertible preferred stock in February and March of 2014, and $24.6 million of net proceeds from our New Credit Facility, partially offset by payments under our Original Credit Facility of $13.2 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of $42.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance of our series B convertible preferred stock in April and May of 2013, partially offset by payments under our Original Credit Facility of $5.9 million.
Our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as potential collaboration agreements and equity and debt financing. Through September 30, 2014, almost all of our financing has been through our initial public offering, private placements of preferred stock and borrowings under our Original Credit Facility and New Credit Facility. In addition, on October 7, 2014, we completed an additional public offering. As a result of the additional public offering and subsequent exercise of the over-allotment option, we received aggregate proceeds, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and offering costs of approximately $53.3 million. In subsequent periods, we plan to seek to raise additional capital in order to continue operating our business. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain, if any, will be sufficient to meet our needs. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the scope and progress made in our research and development activities and our clinical studies. We may also need additional funds for possible future strategic acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of our common stock and debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate our business.
Preferred Stock Financings
Series B-2 Financing-On February 14, 2014, we entered into a Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, or Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we were able to raise up to approximately $40.2 million through the issuance of (1) up to 655,000 series B-2 Shares convertible preferred stock, or Series B-2, par value $.0001 per share, and (2) warrants to acquire up to 718,201 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $14.004 per share.
Shares of our Series B-2 were convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock, on an approximately 4.386-for-one basis at an initial effective conversion price of $14.004 per share. Shares of our Series B-2 were automatically convertible into shares of our common stock upon the closing of an initial public offering on or prior to June 30, 2014 at a conversion rate determined by dividing the initial purchase price of $61.42 per share by the lower of (1) $14.004 per share and (2) the initial public offering price, or upon listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange after June 30, 2014 at the then applicable conversion rate. Holders of shares of Series B-2 were entitled to receive dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounding annually, which accrue on a daily basis commencing on the date of issuance of the shares of Series B-2. Dividends were
payable, as accrued, upon liquidation, event of sale, and conversion to common stock, including upon mandatory conversion of the Series B-2 upon the closing of our initial public offering on or prior to June 30, 2014 or upon listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange after June 30, 2014. The holders of shares of Series B-2 were also entitled to dividends declared or paid on any shares of common stock.
Shares of Series B-2 ranked senior in payment to any other dividends payable on any and all series of preferred stock and upon liquidation, or an event of sale, each share of Series B-2 ranked equally with each other share of Series B-2 and Series B, senior to all shares of Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6 and senior to all shares of common stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the Company, the holders of the Series B-2 were entitled to be paid first out of the assets available for distribution, before any payment was made to the Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series A-5 and Series A-6. Payment to the holders of Series B-2 was to consist of one and a half (1.5) times the original issuance price of $61.42, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends.
On February 14, 2014, February 19, 2014, February 24, 2014, March 14, 2014 and March 28, 2014, we consummated closings under the Series B-2 Purchase Agreement, whereby, in exchange for aggregate proceeds to us of approximately $27.5 million, we issued an aggregate of 448,060 Series B-2 Shares and warrants to purchase up to a total of 491,293 shares of our common stock.
Each share of Series B-2 had the right to that number of votes per share as is equal to the number shares of common stock into which such share of Series B-2 was then convertible.
The warrants issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are exercisable for a period of five years from issuance.
The issuances in February and March 2014 of the Series B-2 and accompanying warrants under the Purchase Agreement resulted in an additional adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3. As a result of the Anti-Dilution Adjustment, the effective conversion price of each share of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 was reduced to $16.970. Accordingly, each share of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 was convertible into approximately 4.798 shares of common stock.
Upon completion of our initial public offering, all shares of Series B-2 were converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 7.678, which is equal to the initial purchase price, divided by the initial public offering price of $8.00 per share.
Research and Development Agreements
Abaloparatide-SC Phase 3 Clinical TrialOn March 29, 2011, we and Nordic entered into a Clinical Trial Services Agreement, a Work Statement NB-1 under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement and a related Stock Issuance Agreement, as amended to date, or the Stock Issuance Agreement. Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-1, Nordic is managing the Phase 3 clinical trial, or the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, of abaloparatide-SC and is being compensated for such services in a combination of cash and shares of stock.
In December 2011, we entered into an amendment to the Work Statement NB-1 or the First Amendment. Pursuant to the original terms of the Work Statement NB-1, the study was to be conducted in 10 countries at a specified number of sites within each country. The terms of the First Amendment (1) provided for two additional countries (the United States and India) in which the trial would be conducted, (2) specified a certain number of sites within each such additional country for the conduct of the study, and (3) amended various terms and provisions of the Work Statement NB-1 to reflect the addition of such countries and sites within the studys parameters. Payments to be made by us to Nordic under the First Amendment are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total up to 717,700 ($906,312) and $289,663, respectively, for the 15 additional study sites in India contemplated by the First Amendment and up to 1.2 million ($1.6 million) and $143,369, respectively, for the five additional study sites in the United States contemplated by the First Amendment.
In June 2012, we entered into a second amendment to the Work Statement NB-1, or the Second Amendment. Pursuant to the original terms of the Work Statement NB-1, as amended by the First Amendment, the study was to be conducted in 12 countries at a specified number of sites within each country. The terms of the Second Amendment (1) increased the overall number of sites by adding sites in Europe, Brazil and Argentina and removing other sites, (2) specified a certain number of sites within each country for the conduct of the study, and (3) amended various terms and provisions of the Work Statement NB-1 to reflect additional services to be provided at existing sites and the addition of the new study sites within the studys parameters. The Second Amendment also provided that cash payments to Nordic under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement as well as the payment of shares of stock under the related Stock Issuance Agreement will each be reduced by an amount of 11,941 ($15,079) per subject for any subjects enrolled in India or the United States. Such reductions are applied in pro rata monthly installments. Payments to be made by us to Nordic under the Second Amendment in connection with the additional services provided at existing sites and the conduct of the study at the new study sites are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total of up to 3.7 million ($4.7 million) and $205,540, respectively.
In March 2014, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Work Statement NB-1, or the Fourth Amendment. Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment, we agreed to pay to Nordic an additional performance incentive payment, or a Performance Incentive Payment, of $500,000 for every 50 patients that, subsequent to March 28, 2014, complete all end-of-study procedures, up to a maximum aggregate amount of additional payments equal to $5.0 million. Any Performance Incentive Payment would have been paid in cash in the event that the initial public offering of our common stock was completed prior to May 31, 2014. If an initial public offering was not completed prior to May 31, 2014, any Performance Incentive Payments would have been paid through the issuance to Nordic of shares of our capital stock under the same model for equity-based compensation contemplated by our existing outstanding work statements under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement. On May 19, 2014, we entered into a fifth amendment to Work Statement NB-1, which amended the date prior to which an initial public offering must be completed to June 30, 2014. As we completed an initial public offering of our common stock on June 11, 2014, all Performance Incentive Payments will be paid in cash.
Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-1, we are required to make certain per patient payments denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars for each patient enrolled in the Phase 3 Clinical Trial followed by monthly payments for the duration of the study and final payments in two equal euro-denominated installments and two equal U.S. dollar-denominated installments. Changes to the Clinical Trial schedule may alter the timing, but not the aggregate amounts of the payments.
The Work Statement NB-1, as amended on December 9, 2011, June 18, 2012, March 28, 2014 and May 19, 2014, provides for a total of up to approximately 41.2 million ($52.0 million) of euro-denominated payments and a total of up to approximately $3.2 million of U.S. dollar-denominated payments over the course of the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, plus Performance Incentive Payments of up to $5.0 million. These payments may be adjusted based upon actual sites opened, work performed or number of patients enrolled.
Pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement, Nordic agreed to purchase the equivalent of 371,864 of series A-5 convertible preferred stock at $8.142 per share, and 64,430 shares of series A-5 convertible preferred stock were sold to Nordic on May 17, 2011 for proceeds of $525,154. These shares were exchanged in a merger of the former operating company with a subsidiary of ours in May 2011 (see note 9 to our condensed quarterly financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014) for an aggregate of 6,443 shares of our series A-5 convertible preferred stock.
The Stock Issuance Agreement provided that Nordic was entitled to receive quarterly stock dividends, payable in shares of series A-6 convertible preferred stock or shares of common stock if our preferred stock had been converted in accordance with our amended certificate of incorporation, having an aggregate value, under the Work Statement NB-1, of up to 36.8 million ($46.5 million), or the Nordic Accruing Dividend. In the event Nordic sold the shares of series A-5 convertible preferred stock or in the event the shares of series A-5 convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock in accordance with our amended certificate of incorporation, this right to receive the Nordic Accruing Dividend will terminate, but a right to receive an equivalent number of shares of series A-6 convertible preferred stock or common stock, as applicable, would remain with Nordic as a contractual right under the Stock Issuance Agreement.
On March 28, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011, or the Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment, with Nordic. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment required that our Board of Directors declare, as soon as reasonably practical, a stock dividend of twenty nine (29) shares of our Series A-6 for each share of our then outstanding Series A-5, all of which were held by Nordic, for a total of 186,847 shares of Series A-6, in full satisfaction of all stock dividends payable in 2014 under the terms of the Stock Issuance Agreement in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3. In March 2014, Nordic requested that all 186,847 shares of Series A-6 be issued. Accordingly, our Board of Directors declared and issued a dividend to Nordic of all 186,847 shares on March 31, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment further provided that in the event an initial public offering of our common stock occurred prior to May 31, 2014, any payments owed by us to Nordic in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3, excluding Performance Incentive Payments, for all periods of time after 2014 would change from the right to receive stock to the right to receive a total cash payment from us of $4.3 million payable in ten equal monthly installments of $430,000 beginning on March 31, 2015. On May 19, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Stock Issuance Agreement, which amended the date prior to which an initial public offering must occur to June 30, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment also stipulated that all consideration to be paid to Nordic pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement at any time after the consummation of an initial public offering shall be payable in cash. As the Company completed an initial public offering on June 11, 2014, Nordic no longer has the right to receive stock from the Company and agreed to be paid in cash for all periods after the consummation of the initial public offering.
Prior to the issuance of shares of stock to Nordic in satisfaction of the Nordic Accruing Dividend, the liability to issue shares of stock was being accounted for as a liability on our balance sheet, based upon the fair value of the Series A-6 as determined using PWERM. Changes in the fair value from the date of accrual to the date of issuance of the Series A-6 shares were recorded as a gain or loss in other (expense) income in the statement of operations.
We recognize research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-1, First Amendment and Second Amendment ratably over the estimated per patient treatment period beginning upon enrollment in the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, or a twenty-month period. We recognize research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Fourth Amendment on a per patient basis when the End-of-Study visit and all other required procedures are completed. We recorded $1.2 million and $7.6 million of research and development expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $8.1 million and $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for per patient costs incurred for patients that had enrolled in the Phase 3 Clinical Trial.
As of September 30, 2014, we had a liability of $9.5 million reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet resulting from services provided by Nordic, which are payable in cash.
Abaloparatide-SC Phase 3 Clinical Extension StudyIn February 2013, we entered into the Work Statement NB-3, or the Work Statement NB-3, under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement and the related Stock Issuance Agreement. Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-3, Nordic will perform an extension study to evaluate six months of standard-of-care osteoporosis management following the completion of the 18-month abaloparatide-SC Phase 3 Clinical Trial, or the Extension Study, and will be compensated for such services in a combination of cash and shares of stock. Under the terms of a Letter of Intent that we entered into with Nordic on October 22, 2012 setting forth the parties obligations to negotiate in good faith to enter into Work Statement NB-3, we were required to make an initial payment of 806,468 ($1.0 million).
In March 2014, we entered into an amendment to the Work Statement NB-3, or the NB-3 Amendment. The NB-3 Amendment was effective as of February 28, 2014 and provides that Nordic will perform a Period 2 extension study, or the Second Extension, to evaluate an additional eighteen months of standard-of-care osteoporosis management following the Period 1 extension of six months upon completion of the Phase 3 clinical study of our abaloparatide-SC product. Payments in cash to be made by us to Nordic under the NB-3 Amendment are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total up to approximately 3.0 million ($3.7 million) and $527,740, respectively. In addition, we agreed to issue to Nordic shares of our Series A-6 having a value of up to the sum of approximately 3.0 million ($3.7 million) and $527,740 as additional payment for the services to be provided under the NB-3 Amendment, with the issuance of such shares to be made pursuant to the terms of an Amendment No. 2, entered into by us with Nordic on March 28, 2014, to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011.
Payments in cash to be made to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-3, as amended by the NB-3 Amendment, are denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and total up to 7.5 million ($9.5 million) and $1.1 million, respectively. In addition, we will issue to Nordic shares of our series A-6 convertible preferred stock having a value of up to 7.5 million ($9.5 million) and $0.8 million, as additional payment for services to be provided under the Work Statement NB-3 and the Services Agreement.
The Stock Issuance Agreement provided that, beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Nordic is entitled to receive quarterly stock dividends in connection with services performed under the Work Statement NB-3, payable in shares of series A-6 convertible preferred stock, or shares of common stock if our preferred stock automatically converted into common stock in accordance with our amended certificate of incorporation, having an aggregate value of up to 7.5 million ($9.5 million) and $0.8 million. In the event Nordic sold the shares of series A-5 convertible preferred stock or in the event the shares of series A-5 convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock in accordance with our amended certificate of incorporation, this right to receive the Nordic Accruing Dividend would terminate, but a right to receive an equivalent number of shares of series A-6 convertible preferred stock or common stock, as applicable, would remain with Nordic as a contractual right under the Stock Issuance Agreement.
On March 28, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement entered into by the parties as of May 16, 2011, or the Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment, with Nordic. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment required that our Board of Directors declare, as soon as reasonably practical, a stock dividend of twenty nine (29) shares of our Series A-6 for each share of our then outstanding Series A-5, all of which were held by Nordic, for a total of 186,847 shares of Series A-6, in full satisfaction of all stock dividends payable in 2014 under the terms of the Stock Issuance Agreement in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3. In March 2014, Nordic requested that all 186,847 shares of Series A-6 be issued. Accordingly, our Board of Directors declared and issued a dividend to Nordic of all 186,847 shares on March 31, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment further provided that in the event an initial public offering of our common stock occurred prior to May 31, 2014, any payments owed by us to Nordic in relation to Work Statement NB-1 and Work Statement NB-3, excluding Performance Incentive Payments, for all periods of time after 2014 would change from the right to receive stock to the right to receive a total cash payment from us of $4.3 million payable in ten equal monthly installments of $430,000 beginning on March 31, 2015. On May 19, 2014, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Stock Issuance Agreement, which amended the date prior to which an initial public offering must occur to June 30, 2014. The Second Stock Issuance Agreement Amendment also stipulated that all consideration to be paid to Nordic pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement at any time after the consummation of an initial public offering shall be payable in cash. As the Company completed an initial public offering on June 11, 2014, Nordic no longer has the right to receive stock from the Company and agreed to be paid in cash for all periods after the consummation of the initial public offering.
Prior to the issuance of shares of stock to Nordic in satisfaction of the Nordic Accruing Dividend, the liability to issue shares of stock was being accounted for as a liability on our balance sheet, based upon the fair value of the Series A-6 as determined using PWERM. Changes in the fair value from the date of accrual to the date of issuance of the Series A-6 shares are recorded as a gain or loss in other (expense) income in the statement of operations.
On December 6, 2013, we entered into a Letter of Intent, or the Letter of Intent, with Nordic, which provided that we and Nordic would continue to negotiate the definitive terms of the NB-3 Amendment. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, we were required to make an initial payment of 222,573 ($0.3 million) and agreed to commence payment of the cash compensation due in consideration of the services being provided by Nordic under the NB-3 Amendment. The Letter of Intent terminated in accordance with its terms on February 28, 2014 (pursuant to an extension mutually agreed to by the Company and Nordic).
We recognize research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-3 and Amendment ratably over the estimated per patient treatment periods beginning upon enrollment or over a nine-month and nineteen-month period, respectively. We recorded $2.3 million and $1.3 million of research and development expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $7.7 million and $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for per patient costs incurred for patients that had enrolled in the Extension Study and Second Extension.
As of September 30, 2014, we had a liability of $4.5 million reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet resulting from services provided by Nordic, which are payable in cash.
Abaloparatide-TD Phase 2 Clinical TrialOn July 26, 2012, we entered into a Letter of Intent, or the Phase 2 Letter of Intent, with Nordic, which provides that we and Nordic will, subject to compliance by us with certain requirements of our Certificate of Incorporation and applicable securities laws, negotiate in good faith to enter into (1) a Work Statement NB-2, or the Work Statement NB-2, a draft of which is attached to the Phase 2 Letter of Intent, and (2) an amendment to the Amended and Restated Stock Issuance Agreement.
In February 2013, we executed the final Work Statement NB-2 under the Clinical Trial Services Agreement and the related Stock Issuance Agreement. Pursuant to the Work Statement NB-2, Nordic agreed to provide clinical trial services relating to the Phase 2 Clinical Trial and to be compensated for such services in a combination of cash and shares of stock. Payments in cash to be made by us to Nordic under Work Statement NB-2 were denominated in both euros and U.S. dollars and totaled up to 3.6 million ($4.5 million) and $0.3 million, respectively. In addition, we agreed to issue to Nordic shares of our series A-6 preferred stock having a value of up to $2.9 million, as additional payment for services to be provided under the Work Statement NB-2 and the Clinical Trial Services Agreement.
As of December 31, 2013, 32,215 shares of Series A-6 were due to Nordic under Work Statement NB-2, or, after the automatic conversion into common stock of the Companys preferred stock, 141,294 shares the Companys common stock. In December 2013, Nordic requested that all 32,215 shares of Series A-6 accrued as of December 31, 2013 under Work Statement NB-2 be issued. Accordingly, our Board of Directors declared a dividend to Nordic of all 32,215 shares of Series A-6 accrued under Work Statement NB-2 on December 31, 2013, which constituted all shares of Series A-6 due under Work Statement NB-2.
We recognized research and development expense for the amounts due to Nordic under the Work Statement NB-2 ratably over the estimated per patient treatment period beginning upon enrollment in the Phase 2 Clinical Trial, or a nine-month period. We recorded no expense and $0.6 million of research and development expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and nil and $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for per patient costs incurred for patients that had enrolled in the Phase 2 Clinical Trial. As of September 30, 2014, all obligations due to Nordic under Work Statement NB-2 had been paid.
We are also responsible for certain pass-through costs in connection with the Phase 3 Clinical Trial, Extension Study and Phase 2 Clinical Trial. Pass-through costs are expensed as incurred or upon delivery. We recognized research and development expense of $0.3 million and $1.3 million for pass through costs during three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.8 million and $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

In September 2005, we exclusively licensed the worldwide rights (except Japan) to abaloparatide and analogs from an affiliate of Ipsen Pharma SAS, or Ipsen, including US Patent No. 5,969,095, (effective filing date March 29, 1996, statutory term expires March 29, 2016) entitled Analogs of Parathyroid Hormone that claims abaloparatide and US Patent No. 6,544,949, (effective filing date March 29, 1996, statutory term expires March 29, 2016) entitled Analogs of Parathyroid Hormone that claims methods of
treating osteoporosis using abaloparatide and pharmaceutical compositions comprising abaloparatide, and the corresponding foreign patents and continuing patent applications. We believe that European Patent No. 0847278, which was included in the license from Ipsen and claimed the composition of matter of abaloparatide, has lapsed due to Ipsens failure to pay annuities. While we are seeking to address the lapse of right, we believe that the data and market exclusivity provided in Europe for a new chemical entity, coupled with the need for a potential competitor to conduct clinical trials will likely provide a longer barrier to entry than the patent protection provided by the original European patent term, which would have expired in 2016, plus a five year maximum Supplemental Protection Certificate.
We also have rights to joint intellectual property related to abaloparatide, including rights to the jointly derived intellectual property contained in US Patent No. 7,803,770, (effective filing date October 3, 2007, statutory term extended to March 26, 2028 with 175 days of patent term adjustment due to delays in patent prosecution by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO), US Patent No. 8,148,333 (effective filing date October 3, 2007, statutory term extended to November 8, 2027 with 36 days of patent term adjustment due to delays in patent prosecution by the USPTO) and related patents and patent applications both in the United States and worldwide that cover the method of treating osteoporosis using the Phase 3 Clinical Trial dosage strength and form. A corresponding European application is pending with claims to the intended therapeutic formulation for abaloparatide-SC. Examination has been requested, but substantive examination has not yet commenced. Upon grant, this patent could be validated in any designated contracting or extension states and potentially could be considered for a Supplemental Protection Certificate depending upon the timing of its grant. Related cases granted in the United States, Australia, China, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, and Ukraine, and currently pending in Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Norway, Singapore, and South Korea will have a normal un-extended patent expiration date of 2027. Patent applications which cover various aspects of abaloparatide for microneedle application are pending in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, and Ukraine. Any claims that might issue from these applications will have a normal expiration date no earlier than 2032.
In consideration for the rights to abaloparatide and in recognition of certain milestones having been met to date, we have paid to Ipsen an aggregate amount of $1.0 million. The license agreement further requires us to make payments upon the achievement of certain future clinical and regulatory milestones. The range of milestone payments that could be paid under the agreement is 10.0 million to 36.0 million ($12.6 million to $45.5 million). Should abaloparatide be approved and subsequently become commercialized, we or our sublicensees will be obligated to pay to Ipsen a fixed five percent royalty based on net sales of the product on a country by country basis until the later of the last to expire of the licensed patents or for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale in such country. The date of the last to expire of the abaloparatide patents licensed from or co-owned with Ipsen, barring any extension thereof, is expected to be March 26, 2028. In the event that we sublicense abaloparatide to a third party, we are obligated to pay a percentage of certain payments received from such sublicensee (in lieu of milestone payments not achieved at the time of such sublicense). The applicable percentage is in the low double digit range. In addition, if we or our sublicensees commercialize a product that includes a compound discovered by us based on or derived from confidential Ipsen know-how, we will be obligated to pay to Ipsen a fixed low single digit royalty on net sales of such product on a country-by-country basis until the later of the last to expire of our patents that cover such product or for a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale of such product in such country. The license agreement contains other customary clauses and terms as are common in similar agreements in the industry.
Prior to executing the license agreement for abaloparatide with Radius, Ipsen licensed the Japanese rights for abaloparatide to Teijin Limited, or Teijin, a Japanese pharmaceutical company. It is our understanding that Teijin has fully enrolled a Phase 2 study of abaloparatide which is expected to report results in mid-2015.
RAD1901
In June 2006, we exclusively licensed the worldwide rights (except Japan) to RAD1901 from Eisai Co. Ltd., or Eisai. In particular, we have licensed US Patent No. 7,612,114 (effective filing date December 25, 2003, statutory term extended to August 18, 2026 with 967 days of patent term adjustment due to delays by the USPTO) and US Patent No. 8,399,520 (effective filing date December 25, 2003, statutory term expires December 25, 2023). In consideration for the rights to RAD1901 and in recognition of certain milestones having been met to date, we have paid to Eisai an aggregate amount of $1.5 million. The range of milestone payments that could be paid under the agreement is $1.0 million to $20.0 million. The license agreement further requires us to make payments upon the achievement of certain future clinical and regulatory milestones. Should RAD1901 be approved and subsequently become commercialized, we will be obligated to pay to Eisai a royalty in a variable mid-single digit range based on net sales of the product on a country by country basis for a period that expires on the later of (1) date the last remaining valid claim in the licensed patents expires, lapses or is invalidated in that country, the product is not covered by data protection clauses, and the sales of lawful generic version of the product account for more than a specified percentage of the total sales of all pharmaceutical products containing the licensed compound in that country; or (2) a period of 10 years after the first commercial sale of the licensed products in such country, unless it is sooner terminated. The latest valid claim is expected to expire, barring any extension thereof, on August 18, 2026. The
royalty rate shall then be subject to reduction and the royalty obligation will expire at such time as sales of lawful generic version of such product account for more than a specified minimum percentage of the total sales of all products that contain the licensed compound. We were also granted the right to sublicense with prior written approval from Eisai, but subject to a right of first negotiation held by Eisai if we seek to grant sublicenses limited to particular Asian countries. If we sublicense RAD1901 to a third party, we will be obligated to pay Eisai, in addition to the milestones referenced above, a fixed low double digit percentage of certain fees we receive from such sublicensee and royalties in a variable mid-single digit range based on net sales of the sublicensee. The license agreement contains other customary clauses and terms as are common in similar agreements in the industry.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
As of December 31, 2013, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $263.6 million and $229.4 million, respectively. If not utilized, the net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates through 2033.
Under Section 382 of the Code, substantial changes in our ownership may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that could be used annually in the future to offset taxable income. Specifically, this limitation may arise in the event of a cumulative change in ownership of our company of more than 50% within a three-year period. Any such annual limitation may significantly reduce the utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards before they expire. The private placements and other transactions that have occurred since our inception may have triggered an ownership change pursuant to Section 382, which could limit the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that could be utilized annually in the future to offset taxable income, if any. Any such limitation, whether as the result of prior private placements, sales of common stock by our existing stockholders or additional sales of common stock by us, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future years. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since our inception, due to the significant costs and complexities associated with such study. In each period since our inception, we have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of our deferred tax asset, as the realization of the deferred tax asset is uncertain. As a result, we have not recorded any federal or state income tax benefit in our statement of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities of financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities.
New Accounting Standards

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Our primary exposure to market risk is foreign currency exposure. A substantial portion of our abaloparatide development costs are denominated in euro and an immediate 10 percent adverse change in the dollar/euro exchange rate will result in increased costs and would have a material adverse effect on our financial statements and require us to raise additional capital to complete the development of our products. We do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk.
We are also exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $68.5 million and $12.3 million, respectively, consisting of money market funds, domestic corporate debt securities, domestic corporate commercial paper, and cash equivalents. This exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because our investments are in short-term marketable securities. Due to the short-term duration of our investment portfolio and the low risk profile of our investments, an immediate 10 percent change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. We generally have the ability to hold our short-investments until maturity, and therefore we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected by any significant degree by the effect of a change in market interest rates on our investments. We carry our investments based on publicly available information. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we do not have any hard to value investment securities or securities for which a market is not readily available or active.
On May 30, 2014, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Solar Capital Ltd., as collateral agent and a lender, and Oxford Finance LLC, as a lender, pursuant to which Solar and Oxford agreed to make available to us $30.0 million in the aggregate subject to certain conditions to funding. An initial term loan was made on May 30, 2014 in an aggregate principal amount equal to $21.0 million, or the Initial Term Loan. A second term loan was made on July 10, 2014 in an aggregate principal amount equal to $4.0 million, or the Second Term Loan. The Initial Term Loan and Second Term Loan bear interest per annum at 9.85% plus one-month LIBOR (customarily defined) and mature on June 1, 2018. Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate under our Loan and Security Agreement, as amended. As of September 30, 2014, principal payable under the Initial Term Loan was $25.0 million. A 10% increase in current interest rates would have resulted in less than $0.1 million in additional cash interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
We are not subject to significant credit risk as this risk does not have the potential to materially impact the value of assets and liabilities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file with the SEC are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Because of the following important factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Business
Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Need for Capital
We currently have no product revenues and we will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, in order to continue operating our business.
To date, we have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other foreign regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we will not be permitted to sell our drugs and will not have product revenues. Currently, our only product candidates are abaloparatide-SC, abaloparatide-TD, RAD1901 and RAD140, and none of these product candidates is approved by the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities for sale. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, we will have to fund our operations and capital expenditures with our existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, or through strategic financing opportunities, future offerings of our equity, or the incurrence of debt. We believe that our existing resources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into the fourth quarter of 2015. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use up our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. If we fail to obtain additional capital, we may be unable to complete our planned preclinical and clinical trials and obtain approval of any product candidates from the FDA and other foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, reduce or forego sales and marketing efforts for any product candidate that is approved, forego attractive business opportunities or discontinue our operations entirely. Any additional sources of financing may not be available or may not be available on favorable terms and will likely involve the issuance of additional equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on stockholders. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the scope and progress made in our research and development activities and our clinical studies.
We are not currently profitable and may never become profitable.
We have a history of net losses and expect to incur substantial losses and have negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future, and may never achieve or maintain profitability. We had net losses of $44.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $60.7 million and $69.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $326.3 million. Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:
· continue to undertake preclinical development and clinical trials for product candidates;
· seek regulatory approvals for product candidates;
· implement additional internal systems and infrastructure; and
· hire additional personnel.
We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. Accordingly, unless and until we generate revenues and become profitable, we will need to raise additional capital to continue to operate our business. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability or to raise additional capital could negatively impact the value of our securities.
Our credit facility imposes significant restrictions on our business, and if we default on our obligations, the lenders would have a right to foreclose on substantially all our assets.
In May 2014, we entered into our new $30.0 million credit facility with Solar Capital Ltd., as collateral agent and lender, and Oxford Finance LLC, as lender. We drew $21.0 million under our new credit facility on May 30, 2014, and used approximately $9.3 million to repay our existing credit facility. Pursuant to an amendment to the credit facility, we drew an additional $4.0 million on July 10, 2014. Our new credit facility contains a number of covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including covenants that limit our ability to:
· dispose of our business or certain assets;
· change our business, management, ownership or business locations;
· incur additional debt or liens;
· make certain investments or declare dividends;
· acquire or merge with another entity;
