Explanatory Note

On September 4, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change our corporate name from "Menlo Therapeutics Inc." to “VYNE Therapeutics Inc.” (the "Company"). In addition, the Company's ticker symbol for its common stock traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was changed from "MNLO" to "VYNE" and was assigned a new CUSIP of 92941V 100. The Company's common stock began trading under the new name, ticker and CUSIP on September 8, 2020.

Descriptions of transactions that occurred prior to changing our corporate name refer to Menlo Therapeutics Inc.

VYNE Therapeutics Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

On September 4, 2020, we changed our corporate name from "Menlo Therapeutics Inc." ("Menlo") to “VYNE Therapeutics Inc.” (the “Company,” “VYNE” or the “combined company”) and changed our ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Global Select Market from "MNLO" to "VYNE." VYNE is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary, innovative and differentiated therapies in dermatology and beyond. The Company is a Delaware corporation, has its principal executive offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey and operates as one business segment.

Reverse Merger

On November 10, 2019, Menlo, Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Foamix”) and Giants Merger Subsidiary Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 4, 2019, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Foamix, with Foamix surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo (the “Merger”) on March 9, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).

For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and Foamix is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Foamix became the Company’s historical financial statements, and the historical financial statements of Foamix are included in the comparative prior periods. See “Note 3 – Business Combination” for more information on the Merger.

Products, Product Candidates and Licenses

Prior to the Merger, in January 2020, Foamix launched AMZEEQ® (minocycline) topical foam, 4% (“AMZEEQ”), a once-daily topical antibiotic for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older. On May 28, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") approved ZILXI™ (minocycline) topical foam, 1.5% (formerly FMX103, "ZILXI"), for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020. AMZEEQ and ZILXI are the first topical minocycline products approved by the FDA for any condition.

AMZEEQ and ZILXI utilize the Company’s proprietary Molecule Stabilizing Technology (MST)™ that is also being used in the development of the Company’s product candidate FCD105, a topical foam comprising minocycline and adapalene for the treatment of acne vulgaris. On June 2, 2020, the Company announced positive results from a Phase II clinical trial evaluating the preliminary safety and efficacy of FCD105 (3% minocycline / 0.3% adapalene foam), the first ever topical minocycline-based combination product, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris. The Company has scheduled an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Additionally, the Company was developing serlopitant, a small molecule inhibitor of the neurokinin 1 receptor, or NK1-R, given as a once-daily, oral tablet, for the treatment of pruritus, or itch, associated with various conditions including prurigo nodularis, or PN. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced top line results from two Phase III clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with PN, studies MTI-105 and MTI-106. Neither study met their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based on a 4-point improvement responder analysis. The Company does not currently intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. As a result, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a full impairment charge related to the IPR&D and Goodwill assets in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information.

The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to out-license its products and product candidates to third parties for development and commercialization outside the United States, and recently entered into a license agreement with Cutia Therapeutics (HK) Limited (“Cutia”). See "Note 4 - Revenue Recognition." The Company has also licensed certain technology under development and licensing agreements to various pharmaceutical companies for development of certain products combining the Company’s foam technology with the licensee’s proprietary drugs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

13

The Company launched AMZEEQ in the United States in January 2020 and commenced generating product revenues in the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s activities prior to the commercial launch of AMZEEQ had primarily consisted of developing product candidates, raising capital and performing research and development activities. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $232.4 million and used $111.7 million of cash in operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $76.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $543.0 million.

If the Company does not successfully commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI or any of its future product candidates, it may be unable to achieve profitability. Accordingly, the Company may be required to obtain further funding through public or private debt or equity offerings, or other arrangements. Adequate additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, it may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs or commercialization and manufacturing efforts.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was focused on the development and commercialization of serlopitant. Following the receipt of the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating serlopitant for the treatment of PN and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company revised its operating plan to focus on the commercialization of AMZEEQ, ZILXI and its current product candidates. The Company does not currently intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. In addition, the revised operating plan reflects prudent resource prioritization and allocation management, including the rationalization of research and development spend to focus on existing product candidates.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2020 and projected cash flows from revenues will provide sufficient resources to fund its current ongoing needs through December 31, 2021. However, the Company may seek additional financing in order to achieve its longer-term strategic plans.

In the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended the vast majority of its in-person interactions by its customer-facing professionals in healthcare settings and engaged with customers remotely in an effort to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care under unprecedented circumstances. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company began limited in-person customer meetings and interactions in certain regions, consistent with local government mandates. During this period, the Company's product sales for AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures. On August 5, 2020, the Company and its lenders amended the minimum net revenue covenant in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. See "Note 8 - Long-Term Debt." While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our ability to execute our commercial strategy with respect to AMZEEQ. The length of time and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, subject to change and will continue to evolve with geographical re-openings and virus waves. An extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact sales of AMZEEQ, and any future sales of ZILXI, and have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, as well as the Company's ability to remain in compliance with the minimum net revenue covenants contained in the Company's loan documents.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a.Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flow and statement of stockholders' equity for the interim periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Foamix’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 7, 2020, and the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 and August 6, 2020, respectively.

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

14

b.Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

c.Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include accounting for business combinations, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the pandemic; the extent to which patients and our sales representatives are able to access healthcare provider offices; the impact on worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage; the speed of the anticipated recovery; and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ have experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, our sales of AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures due to the pandemic during the six months ended June 30, 2020. No assurance can be given that such office closures will not occur again in future periods, and if such closures do occur, or any other circumstance arises such that patients or our sales representatives are restricted in their ability to connect with healthcare providers, our product sales would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company further assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, inventory and related reserves, impairments of long-lived assets and revenue recognition. The Company recorded impairments of goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets; however, these were unrelated to the impact of COVID-19 (See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information). The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

d.Business Acquisition

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of In-Process Research and Development and Goodwill be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Amounts recorded in connection with an acquisition can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting.  For example, the Company uses fair value in the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination and when measuring impairment losses.  The Company estimates fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that Company determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of non-financial assets and, for liabilities, assuming that the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer.

When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, the Company may use one or all of the following techniques:

•Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows.

•Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

•Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets, less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence.

15

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:

•Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs).

•Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Asset Impairment

The Company reviews all of its long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. Impairment testing is performed for indefinite-lived intangible assets annually (or sooner if warranted) and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, the Company records charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.

e.Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for its revenue transactions under FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of its product for an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive from its customers in exchange for that product. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are determined to be in scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when such performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company’s customers include a limited number of national and select regional wholesalers (the “distributors”). These distributors subsequently resell the product, primarily to retail pharmacies that dispense the product to patients. Net product revenue is typically recognized when distributors obtain control of the Company’s products, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery of product to the distributors. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each of its distributors to determine whether it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation is such that the period between the transfer of the promised goods to the customer and the receipt of payment will be less than one year. Standard credit terms do not exceed 90 days. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. Shipping and handling costs related to the Company’s product sales are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s net product revenues through September 30, 2020 were primarily generated through sales of AMZEEQ, which was approved by the FDA in October 2019 and was commercially launched in the United States in January 2020. Product revenue is recorded net of distribution fees, trade discounts, allowances, rebates, copay program coupons, chargebacks, estimated returns and other incentives. These reserves are classified as either reductions of accounts receivable or as current liabilities. The estimates of reserves established for variable consideration reflect current contractual and statutory requirements, known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer mix. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net product revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from these estimates. If actual results vary, estimates may be adjusted in the period such change in estimate becomes known, which could have an impact on earnings in the period of adjustment. See “Note 4 – Revenue Recognition” for more information.

16

On April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a license agreement with Cutia for AMZEEQ as well as certain of the Company's other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI and, if approved in the U.S., FCD105 in the Greater China territory. The Company will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. The Company received an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million ($4.0 million received in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $6.0 million received in the three months ended June 30, 2020) and will be eligible to receive an additional $1.0 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. The Company will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products. The license is determined to be a distinct performance obligation of the arrangement, therefore the Company recognizes the revenues from the upfront license fee when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. See "Note 4 - Revenue Recognition" for more information.

f.Allowance for credit losses

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of trade receivables, historical bad debts experience and changes in customer payment patterns. Trade receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is deemed probable that the receivable will not be collected. Trade receivables, net are stated net of reserves for certain sales allowances and provisions for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

g.Derivative instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at their respective fair values. All gains and losses associated with derivatives are reported as a finance expense (income) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no derivative instruments.

h.Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1:    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2:    Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.

Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

i.Loss per share

The calculation of the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period in which the reverse merger occurs was based on:

a.The number of common stock outstanding from the beginning of that period to the merge date was computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common stock of the legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement

b.The number of common outstanding common stock outstanding from the merge date to the end of that period was the actual number of common stock of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period.

The basic and diluted loss per share for each comparative period before the acquisition date presented in the consolidated financial statements following the reverse merger was calculated by dividing (a) by (b):

17

a.The loss of the legal acquiree attributable to common stockholders in each of those periods.

b.The legal acquiree's historical weighted-average number of common stock outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merge agreement

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common stock and of common stock equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common stock equivalents include outstanding stock options and warrants which are included under the treasury share method when dilutive.

The following average stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), warrants and incremental shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	Three months ended September 30		Nine months ended September 30
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Outstanding stock options, RSUs and shares under the ESPP	20,765,196	11,488,993	15,024,198	10,903,631
Warrants	1,980,660	1,371,225	1,510,168	457,075

In addition to the above, the CSR was excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because its effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The conversion of the CSR also affected the Exchange Ratio of the pre-Merger Foamix equity awards and warrants outstanding as of March 9, 2020. See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information.

j.Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recent Accounting Guidance Issued:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-4, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" (ASU 2020-4), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-4 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-4 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-4 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires companies to measure credit losses of financial instruments, including customer accounts receivable, utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standard Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. As a smaller reporting company, the Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023 or at such time where it is no longer a smaller reporting company.

NOTE 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

On November 10, 2019, Menlo entered into the Merger Agreement with Foamix, and Merger Sub, a direct and wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary of Menlo. On March 9, 2020, the Merger was completed and Foamix is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On the Effective Date, each ordinary share of Foamix was exchanged for 0.5924 shares of common stock of Menlo. In addition, on the Effective Date, Foamix shareholders received one contingent stock right (a “CSR”) for each Foamix ordinary share held by them. The CSRs were issued pursuant to the Contingent Stock Rights Agreement (the “CSR Agreement”), dated

18

as of March 9, 2020, by and between Menlo and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and represented the non-transferable contractual right to receive shares of common stock of Menlo depending on the results of Menlo’s phase III clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of once daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of prurigo nodularis (the “Phase III PN Trials”).

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Accordingly, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 additional shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The CSR conversion resulted in the issuance and delivery of 74,544,413 additional shares of Menlo common stock underlying the CSRs. Following the conversion of the CSRs, pre-Merger Foamix shareholders and pre-Merger Menlo stockholders owned approximately 82% and 18% of post-Merger Menlo, respectively, each calculated on a fully diluted basis.

For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” under U.S. GAAP and Foamix is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Foamix became the Company’s historical financial statements, and the historical financial statements of Foamix are included in the comparative prior periods.

Under reverse acquisition accounting, the U.S. dollar amount for common stock in the financial statements is based on the value and number of shares issued by Menlo (reflecting the legal structure of Menlo as the legal acquirer) on the Merger date plus subsequent shares issued by the Company. The amounts in additional paid-in capital represent that of Foamix and include the fair value of shares deemed for accounting purposes to have been issued by Foamix on the merger date and the fair value of the Menlo equity awards included in the purchase price calculation. The Foamix additional paid-in capital was also adjusted for the difference between the number of common stock and the historical number of shares of Foamix’s ordinary shares.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $11.7 million, which are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This amount includes $8.1 million of severance benefits for employees terminated after the Effective Date. The total transaction costs and other non-recurring costs related to the Merger were $21.8 million.

Purchase Price

The following is the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was transferred to effect the Merger:

(in thousands)	Total
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of Foamix shares to Menlo stockholders	$	123,757
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) conversion of Menlo equity awards	7,322
Total consideration*	$	131,079

* This amount reflects total consideration prior to reduction in respect of the CSRs (which had a fair value of $19.6 million as of the Merger Date) that were issued to Foamix shareholders and that reduced the Menlo stockholders’ relative ownership in the combined company. If the effect of the CSRs is included, the total consideration deemed paid by Foamix, as the accounting acquirer, to Menlo stockholders and equity award holders in the Merger would be reduced to approximately $111.4 million, as shown in the purchase price allocation table below.

Based on Foamix’s closing share price of $2.99 as of March 9, 2020, the Merger Consideration under reverse acquisition accounting was approximately $131.1 million, consisting of $123.8 million for the deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of 41.4 million Foamix shares assuming that no upwards adjustment was made to the Exchange Ratio relating to the CSR, and $7.3 million for the fair value of Menlo equity awards deemed (for accounting purposes only) to be converted into Foamix equity awards. The converted stock options represent the fair value of such options attributable to service prior to the Merger date using the Foamix closing share price of $2.99 as of March 9, 2020 as an input to the Black Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the options.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company completed its analysis of the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

19

(in thousands)	March 9, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	38,641
Investment in marketable securities	22,703
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,581
In-process research and development	50,300
Goodwill	4,045
Total assets	117,270
Current liabilities	(5,827)
Total liabilities	(5,827)
Estimated purchase price*	$	111,443

* Reflects reduction in the purchase price deemed paid to Menlo stockholders in the Merger on the assumption that the CSRs, in an aggregate value of $19.6 million, convert into additional shares of the combined company for the Foamix shareholders, thereby resulting in a lower percentage of the combined company’s outstanding shares being owned by Menlo stockholders following the Merger.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded with the acquisition of a business and is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. None of the Goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase price of the transaction and the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, are calculated as follows:

(in thousands)	March 9, 2020
Purchase price	$	111,443
Less: fair value of net assets acquired, including other identifiable intangibles	(107,398)
Goodwill	$	4,045

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. The Company does not intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. As such, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $4.0 million related to goodwill in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D")

The IPR&D recognized relates to Menlo’s once-daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with PN that has not reached technological feasibility as follows:

(in thousands)
Intangible asset	Estimated Fair Value
Acquired indefinite life intangible assets*	$	50,300
Fair value of identified intangible assets	$	50,300

* Represents acquired IPR&D assets which are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the research and development period, these assets will not be amortized into earnings; instead these assets will be subject to periodic impairment testing.

The fair value of IPR&D has been estimated utilizing a multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach, which reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated, less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows that use projected cash flows with and without the intangible asset in place. 

20

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. The Company does not intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. As such, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $50.3 million related to the IPR&D asset in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

CSR

The CSR was issued pursuant to the CSR Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2020, by and between Menlo and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and represented the non-transferable contractual right to receive shares of common stock of Menlo depending on the results of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials. The Company recognized a liability of $19.6 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. The liability was measured at fair value and categorized as level 3 as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-31-25-5 and subsequently at each reporting date thereafter. The fair value of the CSR was estimated as the incremental value that Foamix would be able to achieve on a probability weighted basis assuming three different potential probabilities of the following scenarios: (a) serlopitant significance was achieved in both Phase III PN Trials (b) serlopitant significance was achieved in only one Phase III PN Trial and (c) serlopitant significance was not achieved or was not determined on or before May 31, 2020.

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Accordingly, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 additional shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The CSR conversion resulted in the issuance and delivery of 74,544,413 additional shares of Menlo common stock underlying the CSRs. Following the conversion of the CSRs, pre-Merger Foamix shareholders and pre-Merger Menlo stockholders own approximately 82% and 18% of post-Merger Menlo, respectively, each calculated on a fully diluted basis. The conversion of the CSR also affected the Exchange Ratio of the pre-Merger Foamix equity awards and warrants outstanding as of March 9, 2020 and increased the awards available for grant under the Company's equity plan.

The contingent consideration associated with the CSR was recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-30-25-5. An acquirer's obligation to pay contingent consideration should be classified as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and other applicable U.S. GAAP. The contingent consideration associated with the CSR was initially measured at fair value and will subsequently be measured at fair value at each reporting date. The CSR was classified as a liability, as it is settled by issuing a variable number of the Company's common stock. On April 6, 2020, the Company recorded $84.7 million of expense in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to remeasure the CSR liability in its consolidated balance sheet to its fair value of $104.4 million (calculated based on 74,544,413 shares issued and a share price of $1.40 on April 6, 2020) and then settled in connection with the issuance of shares.

NOTE 4 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Product Sales

Product revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily generated from sales of AMZEEQ which was commercially launched in the United States in January 2020. ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020 and therefore the Company did not generate any revenue from sales of ZILXI during the period. The Company’s customers include a limited number of national and select regional distributors. These distributors subsequently resell the product, primarily to retail pharmacies that dispense the product to patients. Net product revenue is typically recognized when distributors obtain control of the Company’s products, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery of product to the distributors. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, three distributors accounted for 41%, 43% and 16% of product revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, three distributors accounted for 43%, 41% and 15% of product revenue, respectively.

Product Sales Provisions

Product revenue is recorded net of distribution fees, trade discounts, allowances, rebates, chargebacks, estimated returns and other incentives, described below.   The Company calculates its net product revenue based on the wholesale acquisition cost that the Company charges its distributors less provisions for (i) trade discounts and allowances, such as distributor fees and discounts for prompt payment, (ii) estimated rebates to third-party payers, patient co-pay assistance programs, chargebacks and other discount programs and (iii) reserves for expected product returns.

Provisions for distribution fees, trade discounts and chargebacks are reflected as a reduction to trade receivables, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All other provisions, including rebates, other discounts and return provisions are reflected as a liability within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Provisions for revenue reserves described below reduced product revenues by $11.0 million and $25.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The revenue reserve accrual at September 30, 2020 was $5.6 million reflected in accrued expense in the consolidated balance sheet.

Distribution Fees and Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company pays fees for distribution services and for certain data that distributors provide to the Company and generally provides discounts on sales to its distributors for prompt payment. These fees and discounts are contractual in nature and the Company expects its distributors to earn these fees and discounts, and accordingly deducts the full amount of these fees and discounts from its gross product revenues at the time such revenues are recognized.

22

Rebates, Chargebacks and Other Discounts: Product sales made under managed-care and governmental pricing programs in the U.S. are subject to rebates. Managed Care rebates relate to contractual agreements to sell products to managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers at contractual rebate percentages in exchange for volume and/or market share. Chargebacks relate to contractual agreements to sell products to government agencies and other indirect customers at contractual prices that are lower than the list prices the Company charges wholesalers. When these government agencies or other indirect customers purchase products through wholesalers at these reduced prices, the wholesaler charges the Company for the difference between the prices they paid the Company and the prices at which they sold the products to the indirect customers. The Company estimates the rebates and chargebacks it expects to be obligated to provide and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross product revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the rebates and chargebacks that it expects to be obligated to provide based upon (i) the Company's current contracts and negotiations, (ii) estimates regarding the payer mix based on third-party data and utilization, (iii) inventory held by distributors and (iv) estimates of inventory held at the retail channel. Other discounts include the Company’s co-pay assistance coupon programs for commercially-insured patients meeting certain eligibility requirements. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to pay associated with product that has been recognized as revenue.

Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, customers are generally allowed to return products within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. The Company estimates the amount of product that will be returned and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. The information utilized to estimate the returns provision includes: (i) historical industry information regarding rates for comparable pharmaceutical products and product portfolios, (ii) external data with respect to inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel, (iii) external data with respect to prescription demand for products and (iv) remaining shelf lives of products at the date of sale. The Company estimates that approximately 2% to 3% of product will be returned.

License Revenues

On April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a license agreement with Cutia for AMZEEQ as well as certain of the Company's other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI and, if approved in the U.S., FCD105 in the Greater China territory. The Company will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. Outside of the license transferred, the Company does not have any additional performance obligations under the arrangement. In exchange for the license, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million ($4.0 million received in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $6.0 million and received in the three months ended June 30, 2020) and will be eligible to receive an additional $1.0 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. The license is considered functional IP as the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license without the continued involvement of the Company. The Company recorded $10.0 million of license revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no license revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products, such royalties will be recognized in the period the sales or usage occurs under the royalties sales-and usage based exception. The Company has not recorded revenue related to the $1.0 million payment due upon receipt of marketing approval for the licensed product as such amount is constrained under the variable consideration guidance under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities 

The Company did not have any contract assets (unbilled receivables) related to product sales or as of September 30, 2020, as customer invoicing generally occurs before or at the time of revenue recognition. The Company received a $4.0 million payment from Cutia related to its license agreement in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company did not have any contract assets (unbilled receivables) related to its license revenues as of September 30, 2020.

The Company did not have any contract liabilities as of September 30, 2020, as the Company did not receive payments in advance of fulfilling its performance obligations to its customers.

Sales Commissions

Sales commissions are generally attributed to periods shorter than one year and therefore are expensed when incurred. Sales commissions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Financing Component

23

The Company has elected not to adjust consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Standard credit terms do not exceed 90 days.

Royalty Revenues 

The Company is entitled to royalty payments with respect to sales of a product developed by a customer in collaboration with the Company. Revenues in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.6 million were recorded during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2020, respectively, and revenues in the amount of $0.3 million were recorded during the nine months ending September 30, 2019. There was no revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2019.

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described in "Note 2 - Fair value measurement" above:

	September 30, 2020

(1)The Company’s debt securities are traded in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Accordingly, these assets are categorized as Level 2.

Foreign exchange risk management

Occasionally, the Company purchases and writes non-functional currency options in order to hedge the currency exposure on the Company’s cash flow. The currency hedged items are denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”). The purchasing and writing of options is part of a comprehensive currency hedging strategy with respect to salary and rent expenses denominated in NIS. These transactions are at zero cost for periods of up to one year. The counterparties to the derivatives are major banks in Israel. As of September 30, 2020, there were no hedged amounts.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a lien in the amount of $0.3 million on the Company’s checking account, in respect of bank guarantees granted in order to secure the hedging transactions.

NOTE 6 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consist mainly of debt and mutual funds securities. The debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value, net of taxes (if applicable), are reflected in other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses on sales of the securities, as well as premium or discount amortization, are included in the consolidated statement of operations as finance income or expenses.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair value are measured at fair value. The changes in the fair value of equity investments are recognized through finance (income) expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table sets forth the Company’s marketable securities:

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of the Company’s debt securities were due within one year.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 the Company received aggregate proceeds of $36.4 million and $45.7 million, respectively, upon sale and maturity of marketable securities.

As of September 30, 2020, there were no restricted marketable securities. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s restricted marketable securities were $0.4 million due to a lien in respect of bank guarantees granted to secure hedging transactions and the Company’s rent agreements.

NOTE 7 – INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis by product. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with products following regulatory approval when future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized. The Company commenced capitalizing inventory for AMZEEQ upon FDA approval of AMZEEQ on October 18, 2019 and ZILXI on May 29, 2020. The Company periodically reviews its inventory levels and, if necessary, writes down inventory that is expected to expire prior to being sold, inventory in excess of expected sales requirements and inventory that fails to meet commercial sale specifications, with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. There were no inventory write-downs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM DEBT

On July 29, 2019, Foamix entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to secure up to $50 million from two lenders, one of which is a significant stockholder of the Company and is considered a related party, and a Securities Purchase Agreement with one of the lenders for gross proceeds of approximately $14 million, before deducting offering expenses (see “Note 9- Share Capital” for more information). On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), whereby the Company has

25

guaranteed the indebtedness obligations of the borrower and granted a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets for the benefit of the lenders. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $35.0 million was drawn under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company did not, and does not expect to, incur the remaining $15.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

The term loans available under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are comprised as follows: (a) $15 million that was funded on July 29, 2019 (the “Tranche 1 Loan”), (b) $20 million that was funded on December 17, 2019 (the “Tranche 2 Loan”) and (c) up to $15 million that was available prior to September 30, 2020 (the “Tranche 3 Loan”). The Tranche 2 Loan was borrowed following the FDA’s approval of the Company’s NDA for AMZEEQ and listing of AMZEEQ in the FDA’s “Orange Book,” in addition to maintaining arrangements with a third party for the commercial supply and manufacture of AMZEEQ. The Company did not, and does not expect to, incur the Tranche 3 Loan. Subject to any acceleration as provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including upon an event of default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), the loans will mature on July 29, 2024 and bear interest equal to the sum of (A) 8.25% (subject to increase in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus (B) the greater of (x) the one-month LIBOR as of the second business day immediately preceding the first day of the calendar month or the date of borrowing (if such loan is not outstanding as of the first day of the calendar month), as applicable, and (y) 2.75%. A fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all loans made on any given borrowing date shall be payable to the lenders.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including that the Company maintain a minimum aggregate compensating cash balance of $2.5 million.

In addition, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") on August 5, 2020. The Amendment provides for a covenant "holiday" with respect to the minimum net revenue covenant such that the compliance with such covenant will commence with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2020, rather than September 30, 2020. Accordingly, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, the Company must generate consolidated net product revenue for the trailing 12-month period in amounts set forth in the Amendment, which range from $6.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 to $97.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company is in compliance with all covenants, including maintaining a minimum aggregate compensating cash balance as mentioned above. In the event where the Company fails to observe or perform any of the financial covenants the lenders may, by notice to the Company, declare the loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole, together with accrued interest and a Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ). Additionally, the Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s commercial prospects, projected cash position and ability to remain in compliance with these covenants.

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, there are no required payments of principal amounts until July 2023. Afterwards, the Company will pay 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount each month. The outstanding amount will be paid in full in July 2024.

In addition, on July 29, 2019, the lenders under the Credit Agreement were issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,100,000 of Foamix ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $2.09 per share (the “Warrants”), which represented the five-day volume weighted average price of the Foamix ordinary shares as of the trading day immediately prior to the issuance of the Warrants. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the exchange ratio was applied to the Warrants such that they became exercisable for 651,640 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the exercise price was adjusted to $3.53. Following the Phase 3 PN Trial results, the Warrants were further adjusted and they are currently exercisable for 1,980,660 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.1607 per share. Payment of the exercise price will be made, at the option of the holder, either in cash or as a reduction of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, with an aggregate fair value equal to the aggregate exercise price ("cashless exercise"), or any combination of the foregoing. The Warrants are exercisable pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, thereof and expire on July 29, 2026. Any Warrants left outstanding will be cashless exercised on the Warrants' expiration date, if in the money. The Warrants issued were classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40. Proceeds received under the Tranche 1 Loan were allocated to the Warrants and the Tranche 1 Loan on a relative fair value basis.

The Company incurred offering expenses of $1.1 million in connection with transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, which were allocated to the Warrants, shares and debt consistently with the allocation of proceeds. The Company incurred additional expenses in the amount of $0.3 million from the borrowing of Tranche 2 Loan, allocated only to the debt.

26

Debt issuance costs are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of liabilities.

Amounts allocated to the debt, net of issuance cost, are subsequently recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The fair value of the debt as of September 30, 2020 was $36.3 million and is categorized as Level 3. The valuation was performed by applying the income approach, under which the contractual present value method was used. The estimation of risk adjusted discount curve was based on public information reported in the financial statements of publicly traded venture lending companies.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.0 million and $0.1 million relating to the interest and discount cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $2.9 million and $0.3 million relating to the interest and discount cost.

NOTE 9 – SHARE CAPITAL

Preferred stock

As of September 30, 2020, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The voting powers (if any), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of any series of preferred stock will be set forth in a Certificate of Designation filed pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

Common stock

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In connection with the corporate name change, we changed our ticker symbol from "MNLO" to "VYNE" on September 8, 2020.

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on August 3, 2020, the Company's stockholders voted to approve a proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect (a) a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1-for-2 shares to 1-for-7 shares, which may be determined by the Board at a later date, and (b) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by a corresponding ratio. The exact timing for selection of the reverse stock split ratio and the effective date of the reverse stock split will be determined by the Board based upon its evaluation as to when such action will be most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. The Board may delay or abandon the reverse stock split at any time prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, if the Board determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. The reverse stock split, if implemented, would become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when and if declared by the board of directors, subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of preferred stock outstanding. The Company has never declared any dividends on common stock.

Issuance of stock

On July 29, 2019, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement, Foamix issued and sold, in a registered offering, an aggregate of 6,542,057 ordinary shares at a purchase price of $2.14 per share, later exchanged to 3,875,514 Menlo common stock at the closing of the Merger. The aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14 million, before deducting issuance costs allocated as described in Note 8-Long Term Debt, in the amount of $0.3 million.

Pursuant to the completion of the merger, on March 9, 2020, the Company issued 36,550,335 shares to Foamix shareholders. On April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, the Company issued 74,544,413 shares to Foamix shareholders.

27

On June 9, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 31,107,500 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $1.85 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $53.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

Warrants

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement on July 29, 2019, Foamix issued to the lenders Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,100,000 of its ordinary shares, later exchanged to Warrants to purchase up to 1,980,660 shares of Menlo’s common stock. Upon the closing of the Merger, each Warrant received one CSR as described in Note 3- Business Combinations. The Warrants may be exercised by the holders pursuant to the terms thereof and any Warrants left outstanding will be cashless exercised on the Warrants’ expiration date, subject to certain conditions.

The exchange of Warrants from Foamix warrants to Menlo warrants and the additional CSR was accounted for as a modification, by analogy, from the modification’s guidance under ASC 260-10-S99-2. The Company assessed the significance of the modification of the Warrants by comparing the fair value of the Warrants immediately before and after the amendments. In its assessment, it also considered additional qualitative factors. The Company concluded that the change of terms was not significant. Therefore, the incremental fair value, in the amount of $41,000, of the modified Warrants over the original ones (as of modification date) was recognized in retained earnings as a deemed dividend to the Warrants holders in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Share-based compensation

Equity incentive plans:

Upon closing of the Merger, the Company adopted Foamix’s 2019 Equity incentive plan (the “2019 Plan”). As of September 30, 2020, 2,650,213 shares remain issuable under the 2019 Plan. In addition, the Company adopted the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") in January 2018. In January 2020, the number of shares reserved under the 2018 Plan automatically increased by 976,105 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms thereof. As of September 30, 2020, 2,237,869 shares remain issuable under the 2018 Plan.

Employee Share Purchase Plan:

Upon closing of the Merger, the Company adopted Foamix’s Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP") pursuant to which qualified employees (as defined in the ESPP) may elect to purchase designated shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of each semi-annual share purchase period (“Purchase Period”). Employees are permitted to purchase the number of shares purchasable with up to 15% of the earnings paid (as such term is defined in the ESPP) to each of the participating employees during the Purchase Period, subject to certain limitations under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

As of September 30, 2020, 9,371,258 shares remain available for grant under the ESPP.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 61,031 Foamix ordinary shares were purchased by Foamix employees pursuant to the ESPP prior to the Merger. Such shares were later exchanged for 109,892 shares of the Company's common stock in the Merger.

The fair value of options granted was computed using the Black-Scholes model. The underlying data used for computing the fair value of the options are as follows:

	Nine months ended September 30
	2020		2019
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%
Expected volatility	60.44%-69.83%		59.35%-61.40%
Risk-free interest rate	0.31%-1.26%		1.42%-2.62%
Expected term	6 years		6 years

Pursuant to the Merger, all outstanding options and RSUs granted by Foamix were exchanged for stock options and RSUs of Menlo’s common stock according to the Exchange Ratio. In addition, for each option and RSU the holder received a CSR as described in Note 3- Business Combination. This transaction was considered by the company to be a modification under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The modification did not affect the remaining requisite service period. As a result of the modification, for outstanding options and RSUs granted to Foamix employees and consultants, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $60,000 related to the modification in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. As described in Note 3 - Business Combination, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The conversion was considered by the company to be a modification under ASC 718. As a result of the modification, for outstanding options and RSUs granted to Foamix employees and consultants, the Company recorded incremental compensation of $1.1 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020 there is $4.9 million of unrecognized incremental compensation expense related to the modification which will primarily be amortized using a graded vesting method over the next 2 years.

Awards granted to holders who are no longer employed or providing services to the Company are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging. Under this guidance, the awards are classified as a derivative liability because the award no longer exchanges a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of shares. Accordingly, as of March 9, 2020 the Company reclassified $1.6 million from additional paid-in capital to derivative liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Prior to the reclassification of these awards as a liability instrument, the Company recorded an incremental compensation expense of $0.6 million due to the above mentioned modification in accordance with ASC 718. Subsequent to the reclassification of these awards as a liability instrument, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no incremental compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As described in Note 3 - Business Combination, on April 6, 2020, the Company announced that study MTI-105 and study MTI-106 did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Accordingly, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. On April 6, 2020, the awards are exchangeable for a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of shares and were remeasured to fair value and reclassified from derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.

29

Prior to the Merger, Menlo recognized all expenses relating to awards outstanding as of the Effective Date. These awards were subject to acceleration upon the change of control per the previous Menlo stock option plan.

The following table illustrates the effect of share-based compensation on the statements of operations:

	Three months ended September 30				Nine months ended September 30
(in thousands)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Research and development expenses	$	361	$	389	$	3,927	$	1,127
Selling, general and administrative	2,259		880		11,220		2,479
Total	$	2,620	$	1,269	$	15,147	$	3,606

NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASE

Operating lease agreements

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, research and development facilities, and vehicles. The properties primarily relate to the Company’s principal executive office in Bridgewater, New Jersey, corporate offices in Redwood City, California and research and development facility in Israel.

On March 13, 2019, the Company signed an amendment to the original lease agreement for its principal executive office in Bridgewater, New Jersey (“The Amendment”). The Amendment includes an extension of the lease period of the 10,000 square feet previously leased under the original agreement (the “Original Space”) and an addition of 4,639 square feet (the “Additional Space”). The Company entered the Additional Space following a period of preparation by the lessor completed during September 2019 (the “Commencement Date”). The Amendment is due to expire on August 31, 2022.

Pursuant to The Amendment of the lease on the Current Space, the Company recognized an additional right of use asset and liability in the amount of $0.7 million. The Additional Space was considered a new lease agreement and was recognized as a right of use asset and liability, in the amount of $0.3 million, on the Commencement Date.

The Company’s corporate offices in Redwood City, California are under lease through December 31, 2020 with a base rent of approximately $60,000 per month. Given the short-term nature of the remaining lease period, the combined company did not recognize a right-of-use asset and liability and expects to recognize the lease payments in its statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

The lease agreement for the research and development facility in Israel is linked to the Israeli consumer price index (“CPI”) and due to expire in December 2020.

Additionally, the Company has entered into operating lease agreements in connection with the leasing of vehicles. The lease periods are generally for three-year terms. To secure the terms of certain of the vehicle lease agreements, the Company has made prepayments to the leasing company, representing approximately 3 months of lease payments. These amounts have been recorded as part of the operating lease right-of-use assets.

Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows:

(in thousands)
2020	$	423
2021	1,002
2022	777
2023	94
Total lease payments	2,296
Less imputed interest	106
Total lease liability	$	2,190

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a lien in the amount of $0.6 million on the Company’s cash and marketable securities in respect of bank guarantees granted in order to secure the lease agreements.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

30

The Company may periodically become subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with its business. As of September 30, 2020, no claims or actions pending against the Company that, in the opinion of management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

IPO Lawsuits

On November 8, 2018 and January 28, 2019, two purported class actions were filed in the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, against the Company and certain of our officers and directors. The actions were entitled Silvestrov v. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., et al., and McKay v. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., et al. The underwriters for our initial public offering were also named as defendants in these lawsuits. The complaints contained identical allegations against the same defendants. Both complaints alleged that the Registration Statement and prospectus for Menlo's initial public offering contained false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 due to allegedly false and misleading statements in connection with Menlo's initial public offering. The complaints sought, among other things, an award of damages in an amount to be proven at trial, along with reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees. The McKay action was consolidated with the Silvestrov action and the claim for violations of Section 12(a)(2) was dismissed. 

The parties mediated the consolidated lawsuit and reached a settlement, providing for payment to the class of plaintiffs in the amount of $9.5 million, the vast majority of which was paid by the Company's insurance carriers, in return for a release of all claims against the defendants, including the Company and its current and former officers and directors. The Court granted final approval of the settlement at a hearing on August 14, 2020. Accordingly, the Company considers the matter concluded. Menlo accrued for the remaining settlement amount that is not covered by insurance carriers as of December 31, 2019, which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Merger Lawsuits

Seven lawsuits (collectively, the “Merger Lawsuits”) were filed in various U.S. federal district courts against Foamix and certain other defendants in connection with the Merger. The lawsuits generally alleged that the registration statement on Form S-4 and the prospectus/joint proxy statement included therein included false or misleading information regarding the Merger in violations of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and/or Rule 14a 9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, one of the lawsuits alleged that the members of Foamix’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger. The plaintiffs sought, among other things, to enjoin consummation of the Merger, or alternatively rescission or rescissory damages; to compel the individual defendants to disseminate a joint proxy statement/prospectus that does not contain any untrue statements of material fact and that states all material facts required in it or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading; a declaration that defendants violated Sections 14(a) and/or 20(a) of the Exchange Act; a declaration that the Merger Agreement was entered into in breach of fiduciary duty and is therefore invalid and unenforceable; an order directing the individual defendants to commence a sale process for Foamix and obtain a transaction; and an award of costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, as well as an accounting of damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have agreed the Lawsuits were rendered moot by subsequent disclosure, and on April 22, 2020, each of the plaintiffs and defendants named in the Merger Lawsuits entered into a mootness resolution agreement pursuant to which the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their lawsuits with prejudice as to the named plaintiff and Foamix agreed to pay a de minimis mootness fee to plaintiffs’ counsel. As of May 4, 2020, each of the Merger Lawsuits has been dismissed. Accordingly, the Company considers the matter concluded.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 and August 6, 2020, respectively. On September 4, 2020, we changed our corporate name from "Menlo Therapeutics Inc." to “VYNE Therapeutics Inc.” In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” or similar terms refer to VYNE Therapeutics Inc. after giving effect to the Merger.

Company Overview

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary, innovative and differentiated therapies in dermatology and beyond. On March 9, 2020, we combined with Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Foamix”). In January 2020, Foamix (now our wholly-owned subsidiary) launched AMZEEQ® (minocycline) topical foam, 4% (“AMZEEQ”), a once-daily topical antibiotic for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older. On May 28, 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved ZILXI™ (minocycline) topical foam, 1.5% (formerly FMX103, “ZILXI”), for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020. AMZEEQ and ZILXI are the first topical minocycline products approved by the FDA and serve as a springboard for our potential commercialization of additional innovative products in dermatology and beyond.

AMZEEQ and ZILXI utilize our proprietary Molecule Stabilizing Technology (MST)™, or MST™, that we also use in the development of our product candidate FCD105, a topical foam comprising minocycline and adapalene for the treatment of acne vulgaris. On June 2, 2020, we announced positive topline results from our Phase II clinical trial, Study FX2016-40, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FCD105. Pending a successful development program, we intend to file a new drug application (“NDA”) for FCD105 under the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, which is the same regulatory pathway we have pursued for AMZEEQ and ZILXI.

In addition to MST™ and our emulsion platform (which is a different technology), we have a number of proprietary delivery platforms in development that enable topical delivery of other APIs, each having unique pharmacological features and characteristics designed to keep the API stable when delivered and directed to the target site. We believe our MST vehicle and other topical delivery platforms may offer significant advantages over alternative delivery options, including emulsions, and are suitable for multiple application sites across a range of conditions. We are also actively pursuing opportunities to out-license our product and product candidates to third parties for development and commercialization outside the United States.

Key Developments

Below is a summary of selected key developments affecting our business that have occurred since December 31, 2019:

•On November 10, 2019, the Company, Foamix and Giants Merger Subsidiary Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 4, 2019, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Foamix, with Foamix surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo (the “Merger”) on March 9, 2020. Foamix was deemed the “accounting acquirer” in the Merger and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Foamix allocating the purchase price consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Menlo, and the excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. In accordance with reverse acquisition accounting, Foamix’s consolidated financial statements are deemed those of the predecessor entity.

•On March 9, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty, whereby we have guaranteed the indebtedness obligation of Foamix Pharmaceuticals Inc. and granted a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets for the benefit of the lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million, of which $35.0 million was drawn as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020. We did not, and do not expect to, incur the remaining $15.0 million under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On August 5, 2020, the parties amended the minimum net revenue covenant contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty.

32

•On March 24, 2020, we announced that Andrew Saik joined the Company as our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

•On April 2, 2020, we announced that we have entered into a settlement and license agreement to resolve the remaining pending patent litigation involving Finacea® foam.

•In April 2020, LEO Pharma A/S, or LEO, remedied the supply chain issues related to Finacea foam that Foamix previously disclosed in April 2019 and resumed commercial sales of Finacea foam.

•On April 6, 2020, we announced top line results from two Phase III clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of once daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with prurigo nodularis ("PN"), studies MTI-105 and MTI-106. Neither study met their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based on a 4-point improvement responder analysis. We currently do not intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant, other than to assess and explore opportunities, if any, to license out and or monetize other aspects of the serlopitant asset. As such, the Company recorded a full impairment charge related to the IPR&D and Goodwill assets of $50.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in its unaudited consolidated condensed statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ending September 30, 2020.

•On April 23, 2020, we announced that we entered into a license agreement with Cutia Therapeutics (HK) Limited (“Cutia”) for AMZEEQ® (minocycline) topical foam, 4% as well as certain of our other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ® and, if approved in the U.S., FMX103 and FCD105 in the Greater China territory. We will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. We received an upfront cash payment of $10 million and will be eligible to receive an additional $1 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. We will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products.

•During the first quarter of 2020, an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a strain of novel coronavirus, COVID-19, that began in China spread throughout the globe and directly impacted our business operations. There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will continue to impact our patients, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. We are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties, including duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. An extended duration of the pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our product sales for AMZEEQ, and any future sales of ZILXI. In addition, any prolonged material disruption of the Company’s employees, suppliers, manufacturing, or customers could further materially negatively impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows. We will continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and will make adjustments to our operations as necessary.

•Following the receipt of the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating serlopitant for the treatment of PN and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has revised its operating plan to focus on the commercialization of AMZEEQ and its other topical minocycline product candidates. In addition, the revised operating plan reflects prudent resource prioritization and allocation management, including the rationalization of research and development spend to focus on existing product candidates.

•On May 28, 2020, the FDA approved ZILXI for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. ZILXI is the first minocycline product of any kind to be approved by the FDA for use in rosacea. ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020.

•On June 2, 2020, we announced positive results from a Phase II clinical trial evaluating the preliminary safety and efficacy of FCD105 (3% minocycline / 0.3% adapalene foam), the first ever topical minocycline-based combination product, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris. Study FX2016-40 enrolled 447 patients in the United States who were randomized to either FCD105 foam, 3% minocycline foam, 0.3% adapalene foam, or vehicle foam. The Company has scheduled an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2020.

•On June 9, 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 31,107,500 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $1.85 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $53.6 million, after deducting

33

underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for (i) a Phase III clinical trial for FCD105 for the potential treatment of acne vulgaris, (ii) supporting the commercial launch of ZILXI, (iii) the continued development of our product candidates and (iv) the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes.

•On September 4, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change our corporate name to “VYNE Therapeutics Inc.”

•Effective as of September 10, 2020, Mr. Patrick G. LePore joined our Board. Mr. LePore has more than 40 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, in both private and public sectors, and with board and operational experience in each. He previously served as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc.

•On October 1, 2020, ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide, and on October 7, 2020, we announced that Express Scripts, one of the nation’s leading pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), has elected to cover ZILXI on Express Scripts’ National Preferred, Flex, and Basic commercial formularies, representing millions of additional covered lives in the U.S. that follow these formularies.

Financial Overview

Our cash and cash equivalents and investments totaled $76.9 million as of September 30, 2020. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and investments and projected cash flows from revenues will provide sufficient resources for our current ongoing needs through December 31, 2021. However, the Company may seek additional financing in order to achieve its longer-term strategic plans. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

We have incurred net losses since our inception. Until the first quarter of 2020, when we commenced commercial operations, our business activities were primarily limited to developing product candidates, raising capital and performing research and development activities. As of September 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $543.0 million. We recorded net losses of $24.7 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $232.4 million and $57.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our capital resources and business efforts are largely focused on activities relating to the commercialization of AMZEEQ and ZILXI and advancing our product candidates and pipeline. We expect to continue to incur operating losses until our products generate adequate commercial revenue to reach profitability. If we do not successfully commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI or any current or future product candidates, if approved, we may be unable to generate adequate product revenues to achieve such profitability. We may be required to obtain further funding through debt or equity offerings or other sources. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs or commercialization or manufacturing efforts. Additionally, we are closely monitoring ongoing developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have an adverse impact on our commercial prospects and projected cash position.

Components of Operating Results

Revenues

Our revenue during the periods presented has been comprised of AMZEEQ product sales and collaboration and license revenue.

During 2019, we were engaged in pre-launch sales and marketing planning activities and other pre-commercialization efforts in order to support the commercialization of AMZEEQ in the United States. We received FDA approval for AMZEEQ on October 18, 2019 and launched AMZEEQ in the United States in January 2020. We have generated product revenue of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. We commercially launched ZILXI on October 1, 2020. We will not commercially launch our other product candidates in the United States or generate any revenues from sales of any of our product candidates unless and until we obtain marketing approval. Our ability to generate revenues from sales will depend on the successful commercialization of our drug products AMZEEQ and ZILXI and any other product candidates that receive marketing approval.

Historically, we have generated revenues under development and license agreements including royalty payments in relation to Finacea, the prescription foam product that we developed in collaboration with Bayer, which later assigned it to LEO. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not receive or become entitled to any royalty payments due to the ongoing suspension of the manufacturing of Finacea by LEO, following inadequate supply of quality-compliant batches of the API used in such product. In April 2020, LEO informed us that it had reestablished the supply of Finacea foam and resumed commercial

34

sale in the United States. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we received royalties of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

We may become entitled to additional contingent payments in the future, subject to achievement of the applicable clinical results by our other licensees. However, in light of the current phase of development and associated milestone schedules under these agreements, we do not expect to receive significant payments in the near term, if at all. We are also entitled to additional royalties from net sales or net profits generated by other products to be developed under these agreements, if they are successfully commercialized. In those development and license agreements in which royalties are based on net sales, their rate ranges from 3% to 8.5%, and in the agreement in which royalties are based on net profits, their rate is 6%.

Additionally, as described in “Key Developments,” on April 23, 2020, we announced that we entered into a licensing agreement with Cutia for AMZEEQ as well as certain of our other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI and, if approved in the U.S., FCD105 in the Greater China territory. We will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. We received an upfront cash payment of $10 million and will be eligible to receive an additional $1 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. We will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products pursuant to the agreement. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized license revenue of $10.0 million.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because the revenues in that period consisted solely of royalties, which do not bear related cost of goods sold.

Our gross margin percentage of 86% was favorably impacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by product sales with certain materials produced prior to FDA approval and therefore expensed in prior periods. If inventory sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was valued at cost, our gross margin for the period then ended would have been 82%.

Cost of goods sold expenses consist primarily of:

◦third party expenses incurred in manufacturing product for sale;

◦transportation costs incurred in shipping manufacturing materials between third parties; and

◦other costs associated with delivery and manufacturing of product.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses to date relate primarily to the development of AMZEEQ, ZILXI and FCD105. Our total research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $35.7 million and $35.9 million, respectively. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of:

•employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and related expenses, including share-based compensation expenses;

◦expenses incurred under agreements with third parties, including subcontractors, suppliers and consultants that conduct regulatory activities, clinical trials and preclinical studies;

◦expenses incurred to acquire, develop and manufacture clinical trial materials;

◦facilities, depreciation and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance, and other operating costs;

◦costs associated with the creation, development and protection of intellectual property;

◦other costs associated with preclinical and clinical activities and regulatory operations; and

35

•materials and manufacturing costs related to commercial production prior to FDA approval.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $71.6 million and $22.9 million, respectively. This increase was primarily associated with the expansion of our employee base, including sales force, to support the growth of our operations, severance expenses for Menlo employees, stock based compensation awards, merger expenses and sales and marketing expenses incurred in connection with the commercialization of AMZEEQ and ZILXI. 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of:

•employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and related expenses, including share-based compensation expenses;

•costs associated with selling, marketing and shipping and handling costs;

•legal and professional fees for auditors and other consulting expenses; and

•facility, information technology and depreciation expenses.

Financial Income and Expenses

Financial income primarily consists of gains from interest earned from our bank deposits, financial income on our marketable securities and a revaluation of our derivative liability. Financial expenses primarily consist of interest expense on our long-term debt.

Income Taxes and Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

We have incurred significant net operating losses (“NOLs”) since our inception. We expect to continue to incur NOLs until such a time when AMZEEQ, ZILXI or any other product, if approved in the future, generates adequate revenues for us to reach profitability. As of December 31, 2019, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $165.8 million and $17.6 million, respectively, of which $44.3 million and $16.8 million of these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2031 for federal and state purposes, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of $7.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The federal credits begin to expire in 2031 and the California research credits have no expiration dates. As of December 31, 2019, Foamix had foreign NOL carryforwards of $224.4 million, which are available solely to offset taxable income of our foreign subsidiary, subject to any applicable limitations under foreign law and $27.3 million in federal and state NOLs with no limited period of use.

NOLs and tax credit carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three-year period in excess of 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of our company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. State NOLs and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to similar limitations under state laws. We have not determined if we have experienced Section 382 ownership changes in the past and if a portion of our net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 or 383. We may have experienced ownership changes in the past, including in connection to our initial public offering (“IPO”), and as a result of the Merger and/or subsequent shifts in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control. As a result, even if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use the NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be materially limited, which could harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future tax obligations.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Revenue 

36

Revenues totaled $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. There were no revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our revenue consisted of $2.9 million of product sales, primariy associated with AMZEEQ, which was launched in January 2020, and $0.4 million of royalty revenue.

During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended the vast majority of our in-person interactions by our customer-facing professionals in healthcare settings and engaged with these customers remotely in an effort to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care under unprecedented circumstances. During the second quarter of 2020, we began limited in-person customer meetings and interactions in certain regions, consistent with local government mandates. As a result, the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures during this period. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our ability to execute our commercial strategy with respect to AMZEEQ. The length of time and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, subject to change and will continue to evolve with geographical re-openings and virus waves. An extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact sales of AMZEEQ, and any future sales of ZILXI.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. There was no cost of goods sold in the three months ended September 30, 2019 because the revenues in that period consisted solely of royalties, which do not bear related cost of goods sold.

Our gross margin percentage of 87% was favorably impacted during the three months ended September 30, 2020 by product sales with certain materials produced prior to FDA approval and therefore expensed in prior periods. If inventory sold during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was valued at cost, our gross margin for the period then ended would have been 85%.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $6.6 million, representing a decrease of $5.8 million, or 47%, compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Employee-related expenses decreased by $1.7 million. Clinical and manufacturing costs related to AMZEEQ and ZILXI decreased by $4.1 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $19.8 million, representing an increase of $9.0 million, or 84%, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Employee-related expenses increased by $3.7 million, primarily due to the expansion of our employee base, including sales force, to support the growth of our operations and stock based compensation. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.3 million related to the commercialization of AMZEEQ and ZILXI.

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Revenue 

Revenues totaled $16.7 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our revenue consisted of $6.1 million of product sales, primarily associated with AMZEEQ, which was launched in January 2020, $10.0 million of license revenue, and $0.6 million of royalty revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues consisted solely of royalty revenues.

The increase in license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is due to the upfront payment received under the Cutia license agreement for the marketing and sale of our topical minocycline products in China.

During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended the vast majority of our in-person interactions by our customer-facing professionals in healthcare settings and engaged with these customers remotely in an effort to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care under unprecedented circumstances. During the second quarter of 2020, we began limited in-person customer meetings and interactions in certain regions, consistent with local government mandates. As a result, the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures during this period. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our ability to execute our commercial strategy with respect to AMZEEQ. The length of time and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, subject to change and will continue to evolve with geographical re-openings and virus waves. An extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact sales of AMZEEQ, and any future sales of ZILXI.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no cost of goods sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because the revenues in that period consisted solely of royalties, which do not bear related cost of goods sold.

Our gross margin percentage of 86% was favorably impacted during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by product sales with certain materials produced prior to FDA approval and therefore expensed in prior periods. If inventory sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was valued at cost, our gross margin for the period then ended would have been 82%.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $35.7 million, representing a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.4%, compared to $35.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Clinical and manufacturing expense for AMZEEQ and ZILXI decreased by $14.1 million. This was offset by an increase of $7.1 million of clinical costs related to serlopitant and employee-related expenses of $6.8 million, including $3.8 million related to severance expenses payable to our former employees, and stock based compensation of $2.8 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $71.6 million, representing an increase of $48.7 million, or 213%, compared to $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Employee-related expenses increased by $24.9 million consisting of $13.3 million primarily due to the expansion of our employee base, including sales force to support the growth of our operations, $6.6 million of stock based compensation and $4.7 million of severance expenses payable to our former employees. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $16.1 million, related to the commercialization of AMZEEQ and ZILXI. We incurred $7.7 million expenses relating to the merger transaction between Foamix and Menlo included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Goodwill and in-process research & development impairments

Goodwill and in-process research & development impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $54.3 million. There were no impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30,

38

2020, we recorded impairments of $4.0 million for Goodwill and $50.3 million for in process research and development due to the failed clinical trials for serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis.

CSR Remeasurement    

Contingent Stock Right Remeasurement for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $84.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 we incurred $84.7 million of expense due to the remeasurement of the CSR to fair value which was driven by the result of the failed serlopitant trials. At the time of our merger transaction with Foamix, we entered into a contingent stock right agreement that called for the issuance of additional shares of our common stock to legacy Foamix shareholders upon negative data from both Phase 3 serlopitant trials. Since the trials did not meet the milestones outlined per the agreement, the contingent stock rights were remeasured, resulting in an expense of $84.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Finance Income and Expenses

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our financial income was primarily attributable to gains from marketable securities, interest earned on our bank deposits and revaluation of our derivative liability. Our financial expenses included interest expense on our long-term debt.

Finance expenses and income are as follows:

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2020		2019
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Interest on bank deposits	$	(32)	$	(495)
Finance gains on derivative liabilities	(975)		—
Other income	(10)		—
Gain from marketable securities, net	(201)		(890)
Total income	(1,218)		(1,385)
Other expenses	28		15
Foreign exchange loss	49		133
Finance expenses on loans interest and discount	3,229		329
Total expenses	$	3,306	$	477

Income Taxes

Our tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.3 million, representing an increase of $0.1 million, or 47%, compared to $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have funded operations primarily through private and public placements of our equity, debt, warrants and through fees, cost reimbursements and royalties received from our licensees. We commenced generating product revenues related to sales of AMZEEQ in the first quarter of 2020.  ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020. We have incurred losses and experienced negative operating cash flows since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses until such a time when our product and product candidates, if approved, are commercially successful, if at all. We will not generate any revenue from any current or future product candidates unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize such products.

As of September 30, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $76.9 million. Our cash, cash equivalents and investments are held in money market accounts and marketable securities.

Foamix Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Foamix and Menlo, each as a guarantor, the lenders party thereto, and Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP, as administrative agent for the lenders, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of March 9, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”). We have guaranteed the indebtedness obligation of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and in connection with the Credit Agreement also granted a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets for the benefit of the lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million, and as of

39

September 30, 2020, approximately $35.0 million was drawn under the Credit Agreement. We did not, and do not expect to, incur the remaining $15.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

We have incurred significant transaction-related expenses in connection with negotiating and completing the Merger. Transaction-related expenses, which include legal, accounting and financial advisor fees and other service provider costs, were approximately $21.8 million. We incurred $11.7 million of these costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and we do not expect to incur any additional significant costs relating to the Merger in future periods.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was focused on the development and commercialization of serlopitant for pruritic conditions. Following the receipt of the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating serlopitant for the treatment of PN and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has revised its operating plan to focus on the commercialization of AMZEEQ and its other topical minocycline product candidates. In addition, the revised operating plan reflects prudent resource prioritization and allocation management, including the rationalization of research and development spend to focus on existing product candidates.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and investments and projected cash flows from revenues will provide sufficient resources for our current ongoing needs through December 31, 2021. However, the Company may seek additional financing in order to achieve its longer-term strategic plans. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

In the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended the vast majority of its in-person interactions by its customer-facing professionals in healthcare settings and engaged with customers remotely in an effort to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care under unprecedented circumstances. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company began limited in-person customer meetings and interactions in certain regions, consistent with local government mandates. During this period, the Company's product sales for AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures. On August 5, 2020, the Company and its lenders amended the minimum net revenue covenant in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. See "Note 8 - Long-Term Debt." While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our ability to execute our commercial strategy with respect to AMZEEQ. The length of time and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, subject to change and will continue to evolve with geographical re-openings and virus waves. An extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact sales of AMZEEQ, and any future sales of ZILXI, and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, as well as our ability to remain in compliance with the minimum net revenue covenants contained in our loan documents.

Summary Statement of Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

	Nine months ended September 30
	2020		2019
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Net cash (used in) / provided by:
Operating activities	$	(111,707)	$	(51,148)
Investing activities	87,105		35,835
Financing activities	$	53,828	$	27,954

Cash Used in Operating Activities

The use of cash in all periods resulted primarily from our net losses adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in components of working capital. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items mainly include depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, goodwill and in-process research and development impairment, and contingent stock right remeasurement.

Net cash used in operating activities was $111.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $51.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was attributable primarily to the growth in operations and the Merger.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

40

Net cash provided by investing activities was $87.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $35.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was attributable primarily to the cash acquired through the Merger and a decrease in investments in bank deposits and marketable securities.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

There was $53.8 million provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $28.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was attributable to proceeds from the offering of common stock in June 2020, along with the exercise of options and issuance of shares under our equity incentive plan.

Cash and Funding Sources

Our sources of liquidity in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted primarily of cash and investments acquired in the Merger, proceeds from an underwritten public offering of common stock completed in June 2020, sales of AMZEEQ and the upfront cash payment paid to us under the Cutia license.

Our sources of liquidity in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted mainly of proceeds from an equity offering, proceeds from the Credit Agreement and issuance of the Warrants, and payments from licensees.

We have no ongoing material financial commitments (such as lines of credit) that may affect our liquidity over the next five years other than our commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Funding Requirements

Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, inter alia:

•the amount of revenues, if any, we may derive either directly or in the form of royalty payments from future sales of our drug products AMZEEQ and ZILXI and any other pipeline product that is commercialized;

•selling, marketing and patent-related activities undertaken in connection with the commercialization of AMZEEQ, ZILXI and any other product candidates, as well as costs involved in the development of an effective sales and marketing organization;

•the progress, timing and completion of preclinical testing and clinical trials for pipeline product candidates;

•the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our other pipeline product candidates and any delays we may encounter as a result of evolving regulatory requirements or adverse results with respect to any of these product candidates;

•the efforts necessary to institute post-approval regulatory compliance requirements for AMZEEQ and ZILXI;

•the number of potential new products we identify and decide to develop; and

•the costs involved in filing and prosecuting patent applications and obtaining, maintaining and enforcing patents or defending against claims or infringements raised by third parties, and license royalties or other amounts we may be required to pay to obtain rights to third party intellectual property rights.

Our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and any such change may affect our funding requirements. We may therefore need to seek additional capital sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as strategic collaborations or additional license arrangements. Such financings may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations or other restrictions that may affect our business.

Critical Accounting Policies, Significant Judgments and Use of Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below

41

are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

Our critical accounting policies are described on our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020.

While our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to our financial statements, we believe that the following critical accounting policies are most important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates and they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

COVID-19

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the pandemic; the extent to which patients and our sales representatives are able to access healthcare provider offices; the impact on worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage; the speed of the anticipated recovery; and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ have experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, our sales of AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures due to the pandemic during the six months ended June 30, 2020. No assurance can be given that such office closures will not occur again in future periods, and if such closures do occur, or any other circumstance arises such that patients or our sales representatives are restricted in their ability to connect with healthcare providers, our product sales would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company further assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, inventory and related reserves, impairments of long-lived assets and revenue recognition. The Company recorded impairments of goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangibles; however, these impairments were unrelated to the impact of COVID-19 (See “Note 3 – Business Combination” for more information). The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Clinical Trial Accruals

Clinical trial costs are charged to research and development expense as incurred. We accrue for expenses resulting from obligations under contracts with clinical research organizations, or CROs. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided. Our objective is to reflect the appropriate trial expense in the consolidated financial statements by matching the appropriate expenses with the period in which services and efforts are expended. In the event advance payments are made to a CRO, the payments will be recorded as other assets, which will be recognized as expenses as services are rendered. The CRO contracts generally include pass-through fees including, but not limited to, regulatory expenses, investigator fees, travel costs and other miscellaneous costs. We estimate our clinical accruals based on reports from and discussion with clinical personnel and the CRO as to the progress or state of completion of the trials. We estimate accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the consolidated financial statements based on the facts and circumstances known at that time. Our clinical trial accrual is dependent, in part, upon the receipt of timely and accurate reporting from the CROs.

Revenue Recognition

We record revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). For the Collaboration Agreement under ASC 606, we identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

We identify the performance obligations included within the agreement and evaluate which performance obligations are distinct. Upfront payments for licenses are evaluated to determine if the license is capable of being distinct from the obligations to participate on certain development and/or commercialization committees with the collaboration partners and supply manufactured drug product for clinical trials. For performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we utilize the input method and revenue is recognized by consistently applying a method of measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. We periodically review our estimated periods of performance based on the progress under each arrangement and account for the impact of any changes in estimated periods of performance on a prospective basis.

42

Milestone payments are a form of variable consideration as the payments are contingent upon achievement of a substantive event. Milestone payments are estimated and included in the transaction price when we determine that it is probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized in future periods.

Business Acquisition

Our financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of In-Process Research and Development and Goodwill be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Amounts recorded in connection with an acquisition can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

We are required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting.  For example, we use fair value in the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination and when measuring impairment losses.  We estimate fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that we determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of non-financial assets and, for liabilities, assuming that the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer.

When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, we may use one or all of the following techniques:

•Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows.

•Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

•Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets, less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence.

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:

•Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs).

•Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Asset Impairment

We review all of our long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. We perform impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets annually and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, we record charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Indemnification

43

As permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with our bylaws, we are required to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving in such capacity. We are also party to indemnification agreements with our directors. We believe the fair value of the indemnification rights and agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification rights and agreements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and accounting pronouncements not yet adopted, and their expected impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K. As such, we are not required to provide the information set forth in this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive and financial officers, 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 September 30, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020 our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2020 identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

45

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On November 8, 2018 and January 28, 2019, two purported class actions were filed in the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, against the Company and certain of our officers and directors. The actions are entitled Silvestrov v. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., et al., and McKay v. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., et al. The underwriters for our initial public offering were also named as defendants in these lawsuits. The complaints contained identical allegations against the same defendants. Both complaints alleged that the Registration Statement and prospectus for Menlo's initial public offering contained false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 due to allegedly false and misleading statements in connection with Menlo's initial public offering. The complaints sought, among other things, an award of damages in an amount to be proven at trial, along with reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees. The McKay action was consolidated with the Silvestrov action and the claim for violations of Section 12(a)(2) was dismissed. 

The parties mediated the consolidated lawsuit and reached a settlement, providing for payment to the class of plaintiffs in the amount of $9.5 million, the vast majority of which was paid by the Company's insurance carriers, in return for a release of all claims against the defendants, including the Company and its current and former officers and directors. The Court granted final approval of the settlement at a hearing on August 14, 2020. Accordingly, the Company considers the matter concluded. Menlo accrued for the remaining settlement amount that is not covered by insurance carriers as of December 31, 2019, which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

1A. Risk Factors.

Our business is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described below, that we believe apply to our business and the industry in which we operate. You should carefully consider these risks, as well as the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and stock price. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

We face risks related to health epidemics and other widespread outbreaks of contagious disease, including COVID-19, which have disrupted, and may continue to significantly disrupt, our operations and impact our financial results.

In December 2019, an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a strain of novel coronavirus, COVID-19, began in China. That outbreak has led to numerous confirmed cases worldwide, including in the United States and other countries where we or our business partners conduct operations. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, including our own operations. For example, our product sales for AMZEEQ during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were negatively impacted by office closures as a result of the pandemic. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our ability to execute our commercial strategy with respect to AMZEEQ and may similarly impact sales of ZILXI which was launched on October 1, 2020. The future progression of the outbreak and its effects on our business and operations are uncertain. Many patients have chosen not to visit or contact their healthcare providers which has limited new patient access and conversion. In response to the outbreak, we have taken certain steps to safeguard our employees, healthcare professionals and our other partners. For example, during the first quarter of 2020, our sales force and marketing team were removed from the field and adopted remote and virtual sales activities, including tele-detailing, web-based speaker programs and virtual product education sessions, in order to meet patients’ needs. While members of our sales force have resumed in-person meetings with healthcare professionals, such sales representatives are still prohibited from engaging in certain activities that were available before the pandemic. No assurance can be made that these sales tactics will be as effective as those used prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. If the activities of our sales force continue to be disrupted or patients elect not to visit their healthcare providers during the pandemic, we may continue to generate less revenue than expected which would have a material adverse effect on our financial results and liquidity as well as hinder our ability to satisfy certain covenants contained in our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

We are currently unaware of any material disruptions to the supply of AMZEEQ and ZILXI and any material impact on our primary suppliers. We believe we have a sufficient amount of product in the trade and safety stock of our raw materials to support the current demand for AMZEEQ and ZILXI. While we are currently unaware of any material disruptions to our supply, our primary suppliers or our anticipated timelines for clinical results and other key milestones, we cannot guarantee that

46

we will not experience such disruptions in the future as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the outbreak of COVID-19 persists, we and our third-party contract manufacturers, contract research organizations and clinical sites may experience disruptions in supply of our product and product candidates and/or procuring items that are essential for our commercialization and research and development activities, including, for example, raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products and product candidates, medical and laboratory supplies used in our clinical trials or preclinical studies, in each case, for which there may be shortages because of ongoing efforts to address the outbreak. Any negative impact that the outbreak has on the ability of our suppliers to provide materials for our product and product candidates or on retaining patients in our clinical trials could disrupt our commercialization efforts and clinical trial activities, which could adversely affect our ability to earn revenue, obtain regulatory approval for and to commercialize our product candidates, increase our operating expenses, and have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

EXHIBIT A

AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF MENLO THERAPEUTICS INC.

ARTICLE I NAME

The name of the corporation is Menlo Therapeutics Inc. (the "Corporation").

ARTICLE II

REGISTERED OFFICE AND AGENT

The address of the Corporation's registered office in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE III

PURPOSE AND DURATION

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Corporation is to have a perpetual existence.

ARTICLE IV CAPITAL STOCK

Section 1. This Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of capital stock which shall be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock." The total number of shares that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 320,000,000, of which 300,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock. The Common Stock shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share and the Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation with the power to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any successor provision thereof, and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Section 2. Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors") is hereby authorized to provide from time to time by resolution or resolutions for the creation and issuance, out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock by filing a certificate (a "Certificate of Designation") pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the designation of such series and the number of shares to be included in such series and fixing the voting powers (full or limited, or no voting power), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of each such series. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of

any series of Preferred Stock may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such series shall be superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series. The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may be different from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock, no vote of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock so authorized in accordance with this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Unless otherwise provided in the

Certificate of Designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors may, by resolution or resolutions, increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of such series and, if the number of shares of such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

Section 3. At the effective time (the "Effective Time") of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), each one (I) share of Series A Preferred (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be converted into 0.37071362 shares of Common Stock; each one ( l) share of Series B Preferred (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be converted into 0.37071362 shares of Common Stock; and each one (I) share of Series C Preferred (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and, together with the Series A Preferred, the Series B Preferred and the Series C Preferred, the "Prior Preferred Stock") shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be converted into 0.37071362 shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion"). Each stock certificate representing shares of Prior Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares shall have been reclassified pursuant to the Conversion; provided, however, that each holder of any stock certificate(s) that represented shares of Prior Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender of such certificate(s), one or more certificates (or book entry shares) evidencing and representing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares represented by such certificate(s) shall have been reclassified pursuant to the Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued for shares of Prior Preferred Stock pursuant to the Conversion. If the Conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay cash in an amount equal to the fair value of such fractional share (as determined in good faith by the Corporation's Board of Directors).

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation it is further provided that:

Section 1.

(a)    The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in the Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise expressly delegated by resolution of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power and authority to appoint and remove officers of the Corporation.

(b)    Other than any directors elected by the separate vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the Board of Directors shall be and is divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as

possible. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Qualifying Record Date"), the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Qualifying Record Date, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Qualifying Record Date, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, at each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, Section l(b), each director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(c)    Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote at an election of directors (the "Voting Stock").

(d)    Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, retirement, removal or other causes and any newlycreated directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders, and except as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. Any director appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the class to which the director shall have been appointed and until such director's successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, disqualification, retirement or removal.

Section 2.

(a)    In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation. In addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock), the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the stockholders of the Corporation shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class.

(b)    The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

ARTICLE VI STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and the taking of any action by written consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting of

the stockholders is specifically denied.

Section 2. Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, at any time by the Board of Directors, chairperson of the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or president (in the absence of a chief executive officer), but such special meetings may not be called by stockholders or any other person or persons.

Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of other business proposed to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VII to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.

Section 2. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or anypredecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 3. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or anypredecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as an employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Section 4. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption by amendment of this certificate of incorporation of any provision inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VIII EXCLUSIVE FORUM

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (I) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the Voting Stock required by law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V, VI, VII and VIII and this Article IX.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

On September 4, 2020, we changed our corporate name from "Menlo Therapeutics Inc." ("Menlo") to “VYNE Therapeutics Inc.” (the “Company,” “VYNE” or the “combined company”) and changed our ticker symbol on the Nasdaq Global Select Market from "MNLO" to "VYNE." VYNE is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary, innovative and differentiated therapies in dermatology and beyond. The Company is a Delaware corporation, has its principal executive offices in Bridgewater, New Jersey and operates as one business segment.

Reverse Merger

On November 10, 2019, Menlo, Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Foamix”) and Giants Merger Subsidiary Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 4, 2019, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Foamix, with Foamix surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo (the “Merger”) on March 9, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).

For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and Foamix is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Foamix became the Company’s historical financial statements, and the historical financial statements of Foamix are included in the comparative prior periods. See “Note 3 – Business Combination” for more information on the Merger.

Products, Product Candidates and Licenses

Prior to the Merger, in January 2020, Foamix launched AMZEEQ® (minocycline) topical foam, 4% (“AMZEEQ”), a once-daily topical antibiotic for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of non-nodular moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older. On May 28, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") approved ZILXI™ (minocycline) topical foam, 1.5% (formerly FMX103, "ZILXI"), for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults. ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020. AMZEEQ and ZILXI are the first topical minocycline products approved by the FDA for any condition.

AMZEEQ and ZILXI utilize the Company’s proprietary Molecule Stabilizing Technology (MST)™ that is also being used in the development of the Company’s product candidate FCD105, a topical foam comprising minocycline and adapalene for the treatment of acne vulgaris. On June 2, 2020, the Company announced positive results from a Phase II clinical trial evaluating the preliminary safety and efficacy of FCD105 (3% minocycline / 0.3% adapalene foam), the first ever topical minocycline-based combination product, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris. The Company has scheduled an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Additionally, the Company was developing serlopitant, a small molecule inhibitor of the neurokinin 1 receptor, or NK1-R, given as a once-daily, oral tablet, for the treatment of pruritus, or itch, associated with various conditions including prurigo nodularis, or PN. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced top line results from two Phase III clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of once-daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with PN, studies MTI-105 and MTI-106. Neither study met their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based on a 4-point improvement responder analysis. The Company does not currently intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. As a result, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a full impairment charge related to the IPR&D and Goodwill assets in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information.

The Company is actively pursuing opportunities to out-license its products and product candidates to third parties for development and commercialization outside the United States, and recently entered into a license agreement with Cutia Therapeutics (HK) Limited (“Cutia”). See "Note 4 - Revenue Recognition." The Company has also licensed certain technology under development and licensing agreements to various pharmaceutical companies for development of certain products combining the Company’s foam technology with the licensee’s proprietary drugs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company launched AMZEEQ in the United States in January 2020 and commenced generating product revenues in the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s activities prior to the commercial launch of AMZEEQ had primarily consisted of developing product candidates, raising capital and performing research and development activities. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $232.4 million and used $111.7 million of cash in operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $76.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $543.0 million.

If the Company does not successfully commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI or any of its future product candidates, it may be unable to achieve profitability. Accordingly, the Company may be required to obtain further funding through public or private debt or equity offerings, or other arrangements. Adequate additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, it may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs or commercialization and manufacturing efforts.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was focused on the development and commercialization of serlopitant. Following the receipt of the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating serlopitant for the treatment of PN and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company revised its operating plan to focus on the commercialization of AMZEEQ, ZILXI and its current product candidates. The Company does not currently intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. In addition, the revised operating plan reflects prudent resource prioritization and allocation management, including the rationalization of research and development spend to focus on existing product candidates.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2020 and projected cash flows from revenues will provide sufficient resources to fund its current ongoing needs through December 31, 2021. However, the Company may seek additional financing in order to achieve its longer-term strategic plans.

In the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended the vast majority of its in-person interactions by its customer-facing professionals in healthcare settings and engaged with customers remotely in an effort to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care under unprecedented circumstances. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company began limited in-person customer meetings and interactions in certain regions, consistent with local government mandates. During this period, the Company's product sales for AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures. On August 5, 2020, the Company and its lenders amended the minimum net revenue covenant in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. See "Note 8 - Long-Term Debt." While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted our ability to execute our commercial strategy with respect to AMZEEQ. The length of time and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, subject to change and will continue to evolve with geographical re-openings and virus waves. An extended duration of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to negatively impact sales of AMZEEQ, and any future sales of ZILXI, and have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, as well as the Company's ability to remain in compliance with the minimum net revenue covenants contained in the Company's loan documents.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Foamix’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 7, 2020, and the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 and August 6, 2020, respectively.

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

b.Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

c.Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include accounting for business combinations, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the pandemic; the extent to which patients and our sales representatives are able to access healthcare provider offices; the impact on worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage; the speed of the anticipated recovery; and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ have experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, our sales of AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures due to the pandemic during the six months ended June 30, 2020. No assurance can be given that such office closures will not occur again in future periods, and if such closures do occur, or any other circumstance arises such that patients or our sales representatives are restricted in their ability to connect with healthcare providers, our product sales would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company further assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, inventory and related reserves, impairments of long-lived assets and revenue recognition. The Company recorded impairments of goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets; however, these were unrelated to the impact of COVID-19 (See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information). The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

d.Business Acquisition

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of In-Process Research and Development and Goodwill be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Amounts recorded in connection with an acquisition can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting.  For example, the Company uses fair value in the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination and when measuring impairment losses.  The Company estimates fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that Company determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of non-financial assets and, for liabilities, assuming that the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer.

When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, the Company may use one or all of the following techniques:

•Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows.

•Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

•Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets, less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence.

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:

•Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs).

•Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Asset Impairment

The Company reviews all of its long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. Impairment testing is performed for indefinite-lived intangible assets annually (or sooner if warranted) and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, the Company records charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.

e.Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for its revenue transactions under FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of its product for an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive from its customers in exchange for that product. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are determined to be in scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when such performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company’s customers include a limited number of national and select regional wholesalers (the “distributors”). These distributors subsequently resell the product, primarily to retail pharmacies that dispense the product to patients. Net product revenue is typically recognized when distributors obtain control of the Company’s products, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery of product to the distributors. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each of its distributors to determine whether it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation is such that the period between the transfer of the promised goods to the customer and the receipt of payment will be less than one year. Standard credit terms do not exceed 90 days. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. Shipping and handling costs related to the Company’s product sales are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s net product revenues through September 30, 2020 were primarily generated through sales of AMZEEQ, which was approved by the FDA in October 2019 and was commercially launched in the United States in January 2020. Product revenue is recorded net of distribution fees, trade discounts, allowances, rebates, copay program coupons, chargebacks, estimated returns and other incentives. These reserves are classified as either reductions of accounts receivable or as current liabilities. The estimates of reserves established for variable consideration reflect current contractual and statutory requirements, known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer mix. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net product revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from these estimates. If actual results vary, estimates may be adjusted in the period such change in estimate becomes known, which could have an impact on earnings in the period of adjustment. See “Note 4 – Revenue Recognition” for more information.

On April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a license agreement with Cutia for AMZEEQ as well as certain of the Company's other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI and, if approved in the U.S., FCD105 in the Greater China territory. The Company will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. The Company received an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million ($4.0 million received in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $6.0 million received in the three months ended June 30, 2020) and will be eligible to receive an additional $1.0 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. The Company will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products. The license is determined to be a distinct performance obligation of the arrangement, therefore the Company recognizes the revenues from the upfront license fee when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. See "Note 4 - Revenue Recognition" for more information.

f.Allowance for credit losses

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of trade receivables, historical bad debts experience and changes in customer payment patterns. Trade receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is deemed probable that the receivable will not be collected. Trade receivables, net are stated net of reserves for certain sales allowances and provisions for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

g.Derivative instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at their respective fair values. All gains and losses associated with derivatives are reported as a finance expense (income) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no derivative instruments.

h.Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1:    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2:    Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.

Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

i.Loss per share

The calculation of the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period in which the reverse merger occurs was based on:

a.The number of common stock outstanding from the beginning of that period to the merge date was computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common stock of the legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement

b.The number of common outstanding common stock outstanding from the merge date to the end of that period was the actual number of common stock of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period.

The basic and diluted loss per share for each comparative period before the acquisition date presented in the consolidated financial statements following the reverse merger was calculated by dividing (a) by (b):

a.The loss of the legal acquiree attributable to common stockholders in each of those periods.

b.The legal acquiree's historical weighted-average number of common stock outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merge agreement

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common stock and of common stock equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common stock equivalents include outstanding stock options and warrants which are included under the treasury share method when dilutive.

The following average stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), warrants and incremental shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	Three months ended September 30		Nine months ended September 30
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Outstanding stock options, RSUs and shares under the ESPP	20,765,196	11,488,993	15,024,198	10,903,631
Warrants	1,980,660	1,371,225	1,510,168	457,075

In addition to the above, the CSR was excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because its effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The conversion of the CSR also affected the Exchange Ratio of the pre-Merger Foamix equity awards and warrants outstanding as of March 9, 2020. See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information.

j.Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recent Accounting Guidance Issued:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-4, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" (ASU 2020-4), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-4 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-4 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-4 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires companies to measure credit losses of financial instruments, including customer accounts receivable, utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standard Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. As a smaller reporting company, the Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023 or at such time where it is no longer a smaller reporting company.

BUSINESS COMBINATION

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2020

Business Combinations [Abstract]

BUSINESS COMBINATION

BUSINESS COMBINATION

On November 10, 2019, Menlo entered into the Merger Agreement with Foamix, and Merger Sub, a direct and wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary of Menlo. On March 9, 2020, the Merger was completed and Foamix is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On the Effective Date, each ordinary share of Foamix was exchanged for 0.5924 shares of common stock of Menlo. In addition, on the Effective Date, Foamix shareholders received one contingent stock right (a “CSR”) for each Foamix ordinary share held by them. The CSRs were issued pursuant to the Contingent Stock Rights Agreement (the “CSR Agreement”), dated

as of March 9, 2020, by and between Menlo and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and represented the non-transferable contractual right to receive shares of common stock of Menlo depending on the results of Menlo’s phase III clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of once daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of prurigo nodularis (the “Phase III PN Trials”).

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Accordingly, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 additional shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The CSR conversion resulted in the issuance and delivery of 74,544,413 additional shares of Menlo common stock underlying the CSRs. Following the conversion of the CSRs, pre-Merger Foamix shareholders and pre-Merger Menlo stockholders owned approximately 82% and 18% of post-Merger Menlo, respectively, each calculated on a fully diluted basis.

For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” under U.S. GAAP and Foamix is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Foamix became the Company’s historical financial statements, and the historical financial statements of Foamix are included in the comparative prior periods.

Under reverse acquisition accounting, the U.S. dollar amount for common stock in the financial statements is based on the value and number of shares issued by Menlo (reflecting the legal structure of Menlo as the legal acquirer) on the Merger date plus subsequent shares issued by the Company. The amounts in additional paid-in capital represent that of Foamix and include the fair value of shares deemed for accounting purposes to have been issued by Foamix on the merger date and the fair value of the Menlo equity awards included in the purchase price calculation. The Foamix additional paid-in capital was also adjusted for the difference between the number of common stock and the historical number of shares of Foamix’s ordinary shares.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $11.7 million, which are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This amount includes $8.1 million of severance benefits for employees terminated after the Effective Date. The total transaction costs and other non-recurring costs related to the Merger were $21.8 million.

Purchase Price

The following is the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was transferred to effect the Merger:

(in thousands)	Total
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of Foamix shares to Menlo stockholders	$	123,757
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) conversion of Menlo equity awards	7,322
Total consideration*	$	131,079

* This amount reflects total consideration prior to reduction in respect of the CSRs (which had a fair value of $19.6 million as of the Merger Date) that were issued to Foamix shareholders and that reduced the Menlo stockholders’ relative ownership in the combined company. If the effect of the CSRs is included, the total consideration deemed paid by Foamix, as the accounting acquirer, to Menlo stockholders and equity award holders in the Merger would be reduced to approximately $111.4 million, as shown in the purchase price allocation table below.

Based on Foamix’s closing share price of $2.99 as of March 9, 2020, the Merger Consideration under reverse acquisition accounting was approximately $131.1 million, consisting of $123.8 million for the deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of 41.4 million Foamix shares assuming that no upwards adjustment was made to the Exchange Ratio relating to the CSR, and $7.3 million for the fair value of Menlo equity awards deemed (for accounting purposes only) to be converted into Foamix equity awards. The converted stock options represent the fair value of such options attributable to service prior to the Merger date using the Foamix closing share price of $2.99 as of March 9, 2020 as an input to the Black Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the options.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company completed its analysis of the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

(in thousands)	March 9, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	38,641
Investment in marketable securities	22,703
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,581
In-process research and development	50,300
Goodwill	4,045
Total assets	117,270
Current liabilities	(5,827)
Total liabilities	(5,827)
Estimated purchase price*	$	111,443

* Reflects reduction in the purchase price deemed paid to Menlo stockholders in the Merger on the assumption that the CSRs, in an aggregate value of $19.6 million, convert into additional shares of the combined company for the Foamix shareholders, thereby resulting in a lower percentage of the combined company’s outstanding shares being owned by Menlo stockholders following the Merger.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded with the acquisition of a business and is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. None of the Goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase price of the transaction and the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, are calculated as follows:

(in thousands)	March 9, 2020
Purchase price	$	111,443
Less: fair value of net assets acquired, including other identifiable intangibles	(107,398)
Goodwill	$	4,045

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. The Company does not intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. As such, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $4.0 million related to goodwill in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D")

The IPR&D recognized relates to Menlo’s once-daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with PN that has not reached technological feasibility as follows:

(in thousands)
Intangible asset	Estimated Fair Value
Acquired indefinite life intangible assets*	$	50,300
Fair value of identified intangible assets	$	50,300

* Represents acquired IPR&D assets which are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the research and development period, these assets will not be amortized into earnings; instead these assets will be subject to periodic impairment testing.

The fair value of IPR&D has been estimated utilizing a multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach, which reflects the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated, less charges representing the contribution of other assets to those cash flows that use projected cash flows with and without the intangible asset in place. 

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. The Company does not intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. As such, the Company recorded a full impairment charge of $50.3 million related to the IPR&D asset in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no impairment charge in the three months ended September 30, 2020.

CSR

The CSR was issued pursuant to the CSR Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2020, by and between Menlo and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and represented the non-transferable contractual right to receive shares of common stock of Menlo depending on the results of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials. The Company recognized a liability of $19.6 million in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. The liability was measured at fair value and categorized as level 3 as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-31-25-5 and subsequently at each reporting date thereafter. The fair value of the CSR was estimated as the incremental value that Foamix would be able to achieve on a probability weighted basis assuming three different potential probabilities of the following scenarios: (a) serlopitant significance was achieved in both Phase III PN Trials (b) serlopitant significance was achieved in only one Phase III PN Trial and (c) serlopitant significance was not achieved or was not determined on or before May 31, 2020.

On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Accordingly, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 additional shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The CSR conversion resulted in the issuance and delivery of 74,544,413 additional shares of Menlo common stock underlying the CSRs. Following the conversion of the CSRs, pre-Merger Foamix shareholders and pre-Merger Menlo stockholders own approximately 82% and 18% of post-Merger Menlo, respectively, each calculated on a fully diluted basis. The conversion of the CSR also affected the Exchange Ratio of the pre-Merger Foamix equity awards and warrants outstanding as of March 9, 2020 and increased the awards available for grant under the Company's equity plan.

The contingent consideration associated with the CSR was recognized and measured at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-30-25-5. An acquirer's obligation to pay contingent consideration should be classified as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, and other applicable U.S. GAAP. The contingent consideration associated with the CSR was initially measured at fair value and will subsequently be measured at fair value at each reporting date. The CSR was classified as a liability, as it is settled by issuing a variable number of the Company's common stock. On April 6, 2020, the Company recorded $84.7 million of expense in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss to remeasure the CSR liability in its consolidated balance sheet to its fair value of $104.4 million (calculated based on 74,544,413 shares issued and a share price of $1.40 on April 6, 2020) and then settled in connection with the issuance of shares.

Pro Forma

The actual Menlo net loss included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (for the period from the March 9, 2020, the Effective Date, through September 30, 2020, which are not indicative of the results to be expected for a full year) and the supplemental unaudited pro forma revenue and net loss of the combined entity had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2019 are as follows:

REVENUE RECOGNITION

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2020

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

REVENUE RECOGNITION

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Product Sales

Product revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily generated from sales of AMZEEQ which was commercially launched in the United States in January 2020. ZILXI became available in pharmacies nationwide on October 1, 2020 and therefore the Company did not generate any revenue from sales of ZILXI during the period. The Company’s customers include a limited number of national and select regional distributors. These distributors subsequently resell the product, primarily to retail pharmacies that dispense the product to patients. Net product revenue is typically recognized when distributors obtain control of the Company’s products, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery of product to the distributors. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, three distributors accounted for 41%, 43% and 16% of product revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, three distributors accounted for 43%, 41% and 15% of product revenue, respectively.

Product revenue is recorded net of distribution fees, trade discounts, allowances, rebates, chargebacks, estimated returns and other incentives, described below.   The Company calculates its net product revenue based on the wholesale acquisition cost that the Company charges its distributors less provisions for (i) trade discounts and allowances, such as distributor fees and discounts for prompt payment, (ii) estimated rebates to third-party payers, patient co-pay assistance programs, chargebacks and other discount programs and (iii) reserves for expected product returns.

Provisions for distribution fees, trade discounts and chargebacks are reflected as a reduction to trade receivables, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. All other provisions, including rebates, other discounts and return provisions are reflected as a liability within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Provisions for revenue reserves described below reduced product revenues by $11.0 million and $25.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The revenue reserve accrual at September 30, 2020 was $5.6 million reflected in accrued expense in the consolidated balance sheet.

Distribution Fees and Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company pays fees for distribution services and for certain data that distributors provide to the Company and generally provides discounts on sales to its distributors for prompt payment. These fees and discounts are contractual in nature and the Company expects its distributors to earn these fees and discounts, and accordingly deducts the full amount of these fees and discounts from its gross product revenues at the time such revenues are recognized.

Rebates, Chargebacks and Other Discounts: Product sales made under managed-care and governmental pricing programs in the U.S. are subject to rebates. Managed Care rebates relate to contractual agreements to sell products to managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers at contractual rebate percentages in exchange for volume and/or market share. Chargebacks relate to contractual agreements to sell products to government agencies and other indirect customers at contractual prices that are lower than the list prices the Company charges wholesalers. When these government agencies or other indirect customers purchase products through wholesalers at these reduced prices, the wholesaler charges the Company for the difference between the prices they paid the Company and the prices at which they sold the products to the indirect customers. The Company estimates the rebates and chargebacks it expects to be obligated to provide and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross product revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the rebates and chargebacks that it expects to be obligated to provide based upon (i) the Company's current contracts and negotiations, (ii) estimates regarding the payer mix based on third-party data and utilization, (iii) inventory held by distributors and (iv) estimates of inventory held at the retail channel. Other discounts include the Company’s co-pay assistance coupon programs for commercially-insured patients meeting certain eligibility requirements. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to pay associated with product that has been recognized as revenue.

Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, customers are generally allowed to return products within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. The Company estimates the amount of product that will be returned and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross revenue at the time the revenue is recognized. The information utilized to estimate the returns provision includes: (i) historical industry information regarding rates for comparable pharmaceutical products and product portfolios, (ii) external data with respect to inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel, (iii) external data with respect to prescription demand for products and (iv) remaining shelf lives of products at the date of sale. The Company estimates that approximately 2% to 3% of product will be returned.

License Revenues

On April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a license agreement with Cutia for AMZEEQ as well as certain of the Company's other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI and, if approved in the U.S., FCD105 in the Greater China territory. The Company will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. Outside of the license transferred, the Company does not have any additional performance obligations under the arrangement. In exchange for the license, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million ($4.0 million received in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $6.0 million and received in the three months ended June 30, 2020) and will be eligible to receive an additional $1.0 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. The license is considered functional IP as the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license without the continued involvement of the Company. The Company recorded $10.0 million of license revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no license revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products, such royalties will be recognized in the period the sales or usage occurs under the royalties sales-and usage based exception. The Company has not recorded revenue related to the $1.0 million payment due upon receipt of marketing approval for the licensed product as such amount is constrained under the variable consideration guidance under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities 

The Company did not have any contract assets (unbilled receivables) related to product sales or as of September 30, 2020, as customer invoicing generally occurs before or at the time of revenue recognition. The Company received a $4.0 million payment from Cutia related to its license agreement in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company did not have any contract assets (unbilled receivables) related to its license revenues as of September 30, 2020.

The Company did not have any contract liabilities as of September 30, 2020, as the Company did not receive payments in advance of fulfilling its performance obligations to its customers.

Sales Commissions

Sales commissions are generally attributed to periods shorter than one year and therefore are expensed when incurred. Sales commissions are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Financing Component

The Company has elected not to adjust consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Standard credit terms do not exceed 90 days.

Royalty Revenues 

The Company is entitled to royalty payments with respect to sales of a product developed by a customer in collaboration with the Company. Revenues in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.6 million were recorded during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2020, respectively, and revenues in the amount of $0.3 million were recorded during the nine months ending September 30, 2019. There was no revenue for the three months ending September 30, 2019.

LONG-TERM DEBT

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2020

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

LONG-TERM DEBT

LONG-TERM DEBTOn July 29, 2019, Foamix entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to secure up to $50 million from two lenders, one of which is a significant stockholder of the Company and is considered a related party, and a Securities Purchase Agreement with one of the lenders for gross proceeds of approximately $14 million, before deducting offering expenses (see “Note 9- Share Capital” for more information). On March 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), whereby the Company has

guaranteed the indebtedness obligations of the borrower and granted a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets for the benefit of the lenders. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $35.0 million was drawn under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company did not, and does not expect to, incur the remaining $15.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

The term loans available under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are comprised as follows: (a) $15 million that was funded on July 29, 2019 (the “Tranche 1 Loan”), (b) $20 million that was funded on December 17, 2019 (the “Tranche 2 Loan”) and (c) up to $15 million that was available prior to September 30, 2020 (the “Tranche 3 Loan”). The Tranche 2 Loan was borrowed following the FDA’s approval of the Company’s NDA for AMZEEQ and listing of AMZEEQ in the FDA’s “Orange Book,” in addition to maintaining arrangements with a third party for the commercial supply and manufacture of AMZEEQ. The Company did not, and does not expect to, incur the Tranche 3 Loan. Subject to any acceleration as provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including upon an event of default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), the loans will mature on July 29, 2024 and bear interest equal to the sum of (A) 8.25% (subject to increase in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus (B) the greater of (x) the one-month LIBOR as of the second business day immediately preceding the first day of the calendar month or the date of borrowing (if such loan is not outstanding as of the first day of the calendar month), as applicable, and (y) 2.75%. A fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all loans made on any given borrowing date shall be payable to the lenders.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including that the Company maintain a minimum aggregate compensating cash balance of $2.5 million.

In addition, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amendment") on August 5, 2020. The Amendment provides for a covenant "holiday" with respect to the minimum net revenue covenant such that the compliance with such covenant will commence with the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2020, rather than September 30, 2020. Accordingly, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, the Company must generate consolidated net product revenue for the trailing 12-month period in amounts set forth in the Amendment, which range from $6.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 to $97.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company is in compliance with all covenants, including maintaining a minimum aggregate compensating cash balance as mentioned above. In the event where the Company fails to observe or perform any of the financial covenants the lenders may, by notice to the Company, declare the loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole, together with accrued interest and a Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ). Additionally, the Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s commercial prospects, projected cash position and ability to remain in compliance with these covenants.

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, there are no required payments of principal amounts until July 2023. Afterwards, the Company will pay 1.5% of the aggregate principal amount each month. The outstanding amount will be paid in full in July 2024.

In addition, on July 29, 2019, the lenders under the Credit Agreement were issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,100,000 of Foamix ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $2.09 per share (the “Warrants”), which represented the five-day volume weighted average price of the Foamix ordinary shares as of the trading day immediately prior to the issuance of the Warrants. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the exchange ratio was applied to the Warrants such that they became exercisable for 651,640 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the exercise price was adjusted to $3.53. Following the Phase 3 PN Trial results, the Warrants were further adjusted and they are currently exercisable for 1,980,660 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.1607 per share. Payment of the exercise price will be made, at the option of the holder, either in cash or as a reduction of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, with an aggregate fair value equal to the aggregate exercise price ("cashless exercise"), or any combination of the foregoing. The Warrants are exercisable pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, thereof and expire on July 29, 2026. Any Warrants left outstanding will be cashless exercised on the Warrants' expiration date, if in the money. The Warrants issued were classified as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40. Proceeds received under the Tranche 1 Loan were allocated to the Warrants and the Tranche 1 Loan on a relative fair value basis.

The Company incurred offering expenses of $1.1 million in connection with transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, which were allocated to the Warrants, shares and debt consistently with the allocation of proceeds. The Company incurred additional expenses in the amount of $0.3 million from the borrowing of Tranche 2 Loan, allocated only to the debt.

Debt issuance costs are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of liabilities.

Amounts allocated to the debt, net of issuance cost, are subsequently recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

The fair value of the debt as of September 30, 2020 was $36.3 million and is categorized as Level 3. The valuation was performed by applying the income approach, under which the contractual present value method was used. The estimation of risk adjusted discount curve was based on public information reported in the financial statements of publicly traded venture lending companies.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $1.0 million and $0.1 million relating to the interest and discount cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of $2.9 million and $0.3 million relating to the interest and discount cost.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

SHARE CAPITAL

SHARE CAPITAL

Preferred stock

As of September 30, 2020, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The voting powers (if any), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of any series of preferred stock will be set forth in a Certificate of Designation filed pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, as determined by the Company's Board of Directors.

Common stock

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In connection with the corporate name change, we changed our ticker symbol from "MNLO" to "VYNE" on September 8, 2020.

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on August 3, 2020, the Company's stockholders voted to approve a proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect (a) a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from 1-for-2 shares to 1-for-7 shares, which may be determined by the Board at a later date, and (b) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by a corresponding ratio. The exact timing for selection of the reverse stock split ratio and the effective date of the reverse stock split will be determined by the Board based upon its evaluation as to when such action will be most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. The Board may delay or abandon the reverse stock split at any time prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, if the Board determines that the reverse stock split is no longer in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. The reverse stock split, if implemented, would become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when and if declared by the board of directors, subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of preferred stock outstanding. The Company has never declared any dividends on common stock.

Issuance of stock

On July 29, 2019, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement, Foamix issued and sold, in a registered offering, an aggregate of 6,542,057 ordinary shares at a purchase price of $2.14 per share, later exchanged to 3,875,514 Menlo common stock at the closing of the Merger. The aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14 million, before deducting issuance costs allocated as described in Note 8-Long Term Debt, in the amount of $0.3 million.

Pursuant to the completion of the merger, on March 9, 2020, the Company issued 36,550,335 shares to Foamix shareholders. On April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, the Company issued 74,544,413 shares to Foamix shareholders.

On June 9, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 31,107,500 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $1.85 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $53.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

Warrants

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement on July 29, 2019, Foamix issued to the lenders Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,100,000 of its ordinary shares, later exchanged to Warrants to purchase up to 1,980,660 shares of Menlo’s common stock. Upon the closing of the Merger, each Warrant received one CSR as described in Note 3- Business Combinations. The Warrants may be exercised by the holders pursuant to the terms thereof and any Warrants left outstanding will be cashless exercised on the Warrants’ expiration date, subject to certain conditions.

The exchange of Warrants from Foamix warrants to Menlo warrants and the additional CSR was accounted for as a modification, by analogy, from the modification’s guidance under ASC 260-10-S99-2. The Company assessed the significance of the modification of the Warrants by comparing the fair value of the Warrants immediately before and after the amendments. In its assessment, it also considered additional qualitative factors. The Company concluded that the change of terms was not significant. Therefore, the incremental fair value, in the amount of $41,000, of the modified Warrants over the original ones (as of modification date) was recognized in retained earnings as a deemed dividend to the Warrants holders in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Share-based compensation

Equity incentive plans:

Upon closing of the Merger, the Company adopted Foamix’s 2019 Equity incentive plan (the “2019 Plan”). As of September 30, 2020, 2,650,213 shares remain issuable under the 2019 Plan. In addition, the Company adopted the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") in January 2018. In January 2020, the number of shares reserved under the 2018 Plan automatically increased by 976,105 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms thereof. As of September 30, 2020, 2,237,869 shares remain issuable under the 2018 Plan.

Employee Share Purchase Plan:

Upon closing of the Merger, the Company adopted Foamix’s Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP") pursuant to which qualified employees (as defined in the ESPP) may elect to purchase designated shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of each semi-annual share purchase period (“Purchase Period”). Employees are permitted to purchase the number of shares purchasable with up to 15% of the earnings paid (as such term is defined in the ESPP) to each of the participating employees during the Purchase Period, subject to certain limitations under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

As of September 30, 2020, 9,371,258 shares remain available for grant under the ESPP.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 61,031 Foamix ordinary shares were purchased by Foamix employees pursuant to the ESPP prior to the Merger. Such shares were later exchanged for 109,892 shares of the Company's common stock in the Merger.

Options and RSUs granted to employees and directors:

In the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company granted options and RSU as follows:

	Nine months ended September 30, 2020
	Award amount*	Exercise price range*	Vesting period	Expiration
Employees and Directors:
Options	5,266,548	$1.46-$3.13	1 year -4 years	10 years
RSUs	2,589,710	—	1 year -4 years	—

	Nine months ended September 30, 2019
	Award amount*	Exercise price range*	Vesting period	Expiration
Employees and Directors:
Options	2,570,889	$1.31-$2.12	1 year -4 years	10 years
RSUs	766,343	—	1 year -4 years	—

* All amounts and exercise prices for pre-Merger grants are presented following the exchange to Menlo options and RSUs at the Exchange Ratio described in Note 3-Business Combination.

The fair value of options and RSUs granted to employees and directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $11.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

The fair value of RSUs granted is based on the share price on the grant date.

The fair value of options granted was computed using the Black-Scholes model. The underlying data used for computing the fair value of the options are as follows:

	Nine months ended September 30
	2020		2019
Dividend yield	0	%	0	%
Expected volatility	60.44%-69.83%		59.35%-61.40%
Risk-free interest rate	0.31%-1.26%		1.42%-2.62%
Expected term	6 years		6 years

Pursuant to the Merger, all outstanding options and RSUs granted by Foamix were exchanged for stock options and RSUs of Menlo’s common stock according to the Exchange Ratio. In addition, for each option and RSU the holder received a CSR as described in Note 3- Business Combination. This transaction was considered by the company to be a modification under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The modification did not affect the remaining requisite service period. As a result of the modification, for outstanding options and RSUs granted to Foamix employees and consultants, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $60,000 related to the modification in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. As described in Note 3 - Business Combination, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The conversion was considered by the company to be a modification under ASC 718. As a result of the modification, for outstanding options and RSUs granted to Foamix employees and consultants, the Company recorded incremental compensation of $1.1 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020 there is $4.9 million of unrecognized incremental compensation expense related to the modification which will primarily be amortized using a graded vesting method over the next 2 years.

Awards granted to holders who are no longer employed or providing services to the Company are accounted for in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging. Under this guidance, the awards are classified as a derivative liability because the award no longer exchanges a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of shares. Accordingly, as of March 9, 2020 the Company reclassified $1.6 million from additional paid-in capital to derivative liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Prior to the reclassification of these awards as a liability instrument, the Company recorded an incremental compensation expense of $0.6 million due to the above mentioned modification in accordance with ASC 718. Subsequent to the reclassification of these awards as a liability instrument, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There was no incremental compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020. As described in Note 3 - Business Combination, on April 6, 2020, the Company announced that study MTI-105 and study MTI-106 did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Accordingly, on April 6, 2020, pursuant to the terms of the CSR Agreement, each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective Exchange Ratio in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. On April 6, 2020, the awards are exchangeable for a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of shares and were remeasured to fair value and reclassified from derivative liability to additional paid-in capital.

Prior to the Merger, Menlo recognized all expenses relating to awards outstanding as of the Effective Date. These awards were subject to acceleration upon the change of control per the previous Menlo stock option plan.

The following table illustrates the effect of share-based compensation on the statements of operations:

Leases [Abstract]

OPERATING LEASE

OPERATING LEASE

Operating lease agreements

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, research and development facilities, and vehicles. The properties primarily relate to the Company’s principal executive office in Bridgewater, New Jersey, corporate offices in Redwood City, California and research and development facility in Israel.

On March 13, 2019, the Company signed an amendment to the original lease agreement for its principal executive office in Bridgewater, New Jersey (“The Amendment”). The Amendment includes an extension of the lease period of the 10,000 square feet previously leased under the original agreement (the “Original Space”) and an addition of 4,639 square feet (the “Additional Space”). The Company entered the Additional Space following a period of preparation by the lessor completed during September 2019 (the “Commencement Date”). The Amendment is due to expire on August 31, 2022.

Pursuant to The Amendment of the lease on the Current Space, the Company recognized an additional right of use asset and liability in the amount of $0.7 million. The Additional Space was considered a new lease agreement and was recognized as a right of use asset and liability, in the amount of $0.3 million, on the Commencement Date.

The Company’s corporate offices in Redwood City, California are under lease through December 31, 2020 with a base rent of approximately $60,000 per month. Given the short-term nature of the remaining lease period, the combined company did not recognize a right-of-use asset and liability and expects to recognize the lease payments in its statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

The lease agreement for the research and development facility in Israel is linked to the Israeli consumer price index (“CPI”) and due to expire in December 2020.

Additionally, the Company has entered into operating lease agreements in connection with the leasing of vehicles. The lease periods are generally for three-year terms. To secure the terms of certain of the vehicle lease agreements, the Company has made prepayments to the leasing company, representing approximately 3 months of lease payments. These amounts have been recorded as part of the operating lease right-of-use assets.

Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows:

(in thousands)
2020	$	423
2021	1,002
2022	777
2023	94
Total lease payments	2,296
Less imputed interest	106
Total lease liability	$	2,190

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has a lien in the amount of $0.6 million on the Company’s cash and marketable securities in respect of bank guarantees granted in order to secure the lease agreements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may periodically become subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with its business. As of September 30, 2020, no claims or actions pending against the Company that, in the opinion of management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

IPO Lawsuits

On November 8, 2018 and January 28, 2019, two purported class actions were filed in the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County, against the Company and certain of our officers and directors. The actions were entitled Silvestrov v. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., et al., and McKay v. Menlo Therapeutics Inc., et al. The underwriters for our initial public offering were also named as defendants in these lawsuits. The complaints contained identical allegations against the same defendants. Both complaints alleged that the Registration Statement and prospectus for Menlo's initial public offering contained false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 due to allegedly false and misleading statements in connection with Menlo's initial public offering. The complaints sought, among other things, an award of damages in an amount to be proven at trial, along with reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees. The McKay action was consolidated with the Silvestrov action and the claim for violations of Section 12(a)(2) was dismissed. 

The parties mediated the consolidated lawsuit and reached a settlement, providing for payment to the class of plaintiffs in the amount of $9.5 million, the vast majority of which was paid by the Company's insurance carriers, in return for a release of all claims against the defendants, including the Company and its current and former officers and directors. The Court granted final approval of the settlement at a hearing on August 14, 2020. Accordingly, the Company considers the matter concluded. Menlo accrued for the remaining settlement amount that is not covered by insurance carriers as of December 31, 2019, which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Merger Lawsuits

Seven lawsuits (collectively, the “Merger Lawsuits”) were filed in various U.S. federal district courts against Foamix and certain other defendants in connection with the Merger. The lawsuits generally alleged that the registration statement on Form S-4 and the prospectus/joint proxy statement included therein included false or misleading information regarding the Merger in violations of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and/or Rule 14a 9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, one of the lawsuits alleged that the members of Foamix’s board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger. The plaintiffs sought, among other things, to enjoin consummation of the Merger, or alternatively rescission or rescissory damages; to compel the individual defendants to disseminate a joint proxy statement/prospectus that does not contain any untrue statements of material fact and that states all material facts required in it or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading; a declaration that defendants violated Sections 14(a) and/or 20(a) of the Exchange Act; a declaration that the Merger Agreement was entered into in breach of fiduciary duty and is therefore invalid and unenforceable; an order directing the individual defendants to commence a sale process for Foamix and obtain a transaction; and an award of costs, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, as well as an accounting of damages allegedly suffered by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have agreed the Lawsuits were rendered moot by subsequent disclosure, and on April 22, 2020, each of the plaintiffs and defendants named in the Merger Lawsuits entered into a mootness resolution agreement pursuant to which the plaintiffs agreed to dismiss their lawsuits with prejudice as to the named plaintiff and Foamix agreed to pay a de minimis mootness fee to plaintiffs’ counsel. As of May 4, 2020, each of the Merger Lawsuits has been dismissed.

Reverse Merger

Reverse Merger

On November 10, 2019, Menlo, Foamix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Foamix”) and Giants Merger Subsidiary Ltd. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 4, 2019, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Foamix, with Foamix surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Menlo (the “Merger”) on March 9, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).

For accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as a “reverse acquisition” under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and Foamix is considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Merger, the historical financial statements of Foamix became the Company’s historical financial statements, and the historical financial statements of Foamix are included in the comparative prior periods. See “Note 3 – Business Combination” for more information on the Merger.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company launched AMZEEQ in the United States in January 2020 and commenced generating product revenues in the first quarter of 2020. The Company’s activities prior to the commercial launch of AMZEEQ had primarily consisted of developing product candidates, raising capital and performing research and development activities. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $232.4 million and used $111.7 million of cash in operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $76.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $543.0 million.

If the Company does not successfully commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI or any of its future product candidates, it may be unable to achieve profitability. Accordingly, the Company may be required to obtain further funding through public or private debt or equity offerings, or other arrangements. Adequate additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, it may be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate its research and development programs or commercialization and manufacturing efforts.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was focused on the development and commercialization of serlopitant. Following the receipt of the results of the Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating serlopitant for the treatment of PN and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company revised its operating plan to focus on the commercialization of AMZEEQ, ZILXI and its current product candidates. The Company does not currently intend to further pursue the development of serlopitant. In addition, the revised operating plan reflects prudent resource prioritization and allocation management, including the rationalization of research and development spend to focus on existing product candidates.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2020 and projected cash flows from revenues will provide sufficient resources to fund its current ongoing needs through December 31, 2021. However, the Company may seek additional financing in order to achieve its longer-term strategic plans.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flow and statement of stockholders' equity for the interim periods presented. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Foamix’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 7, 2020, and the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020 and August 6, 2020, respectively.

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include accounting for business combinations, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets and revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors including, but not limited to: the magnitude and duration of the pandemic; the extent to which patients and our sales representatives are able to access healthcare provider offices; the impact on worldwide macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates, employment rates and health insurance coverage; the speed of the anticipated recovery; and governmental and business reactions to the pandemic. While the Company’s product sales for AMZEEQ have experienced a modest recovery during the three months ended September 30, 2020, our sales of AMZEEQ were negatively impacted by office closures due to the pandemic during the six months ended June 30, 2020. No assurance can be given that such office closures will not occur again in future periods, and if such closures do occur, or any other circumstance arises such that patients or our sales representatives are restricted in their ability to connect with healthcare providers, our product sales would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company further assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, inventory and related reserves, impairments of long-lived assets and revenue recognition. The Company recorded impairments of goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets; however, these were unrelated to the impact of COVID-19 (See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information). The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

Business Acquisition

Business Acquisition

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of an acquired business after the completion of the acquisition. The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and that the fair value of In-Process Research and Development and Goodwill be recorded on the balance sheet. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Amounts recorded in connection with an acquisition can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, either upon initial recognition or for subsequent accounting or reporting.  For example, the Company uses fair value in the initial recognition of net assets acquired in a business combination and when measuring impairment losses.  The Company estimates fair value using an exit price approach, which requires, among other things, that Company determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly market. The determination of an exit price is considered from the perspective of market participants, considering the highest and best use of non-financial assets and, for liabilities, assuming that the risk of non-performance will be the same before and after the transfer.

When estimating fair value, depending on the nature and complexity of the asset or liability, the Company may use one or all of the following techniques:

•Income approach, which is based on the present value of a future stream of net cash flows.

•Market approach, which is based on market prices and other information from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

•Cost approach, which is based on the cost to acquire or construct comparable assets, less an allowance for functional and/or economic obsolescence.

Our fair value methodologies depend on the following types of inputs:

•Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs).

•Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means (Level 2 inputs).

•Unobservable inputs that reflect estimates and assumptions (Level 3 inputs).

A single estimate of fair value can result from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

Asset Impairment

The Company reviews all of its long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year. Impairment testing is performed for indefinite-lived intangible assets annually (or sooner if warranted) and for all other long-lived assets whenever impairment indicators are present. When necessary, the Company records charges for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for its revenue transactions under FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of its product for an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive from its customers in exchange for that product. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are determined to be in scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when such performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company’s customers include a limited number of national and select regional wholesalers (the “distributors”). These distributors subsequently resell the product, primarily to retail pharmacies that dispense the product to patients. Net product revenue is typically recognized when distributors obtain control of the Company’s products, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery of product to the distributors. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each of its distributors to determine whether it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation is such that the period between the transfer of the promised goods to the customer and the receipt of payment will be less than one year. Standard credit terms do not exceed 90 days. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. Shipping and handling costs related to the Company’s product sales are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s net product revenues through September 30, 2020 were primarily generated through sales of AMZEEQ, which was approved by the FDA in October 2019 and was commercially launched in the United States in January 2020. Product revenue is recorded net of distribution fees, trade discounts, allowances, rebates, copay program coupons, chargebacks, estimated returns and other incentives. These reserves are classified as either reductions of accounts receivable or as current liabilities. The estimates of reserves established for variable consideration reflect current contractual and statutory requirements, known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer mix. The transaction price, which includes variable consideration reflecting the impact of discounts and allowances, may be subject to constraint and is included in the net product revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of the cumulative revenues recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts may ultimately differ from these estimates. If actual results vary, estimates may be adjusted in the period such change in estimate becomes known, which could have an impact on earnings in the period of adjustment. See “Note 4 – Revenue Recognition” for more information.

On April 23, 2020, the Company announced that it entered into a license agreement with Cutia for AMZEEQ as well as certain of the Company's other topical minocycline product candidates, once approved, on an exclusive basis in Greater China. Under the terms of the agreement, Cutia will have an exclusive license to obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize AMZEEQ, ZILXI and, if approved in the U.S., FCD105 in the Greater China territory. The Company will supply the finished licensed products to Cutia for clinical and commercial use. The Company received an upfront cash payment of $10.0 million ($4.0 million received in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $6.0 million received in the three months ended June 30, 2020) and will be eligible to receive an additional $1.0 million payment upon the receipt of marketing approval in China of the first licensed product. The Company will also receive royalties on net sales of any licensed products. The license is determined to be a distinct performance obligation of the arrangement, therefore the Company recognizes the revenues from the upfront license fee when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. See "Note 4 - Revenue Recognition" for more information.

Allowance for credit losses

Allowance for credit lossesAn allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of trade receivables, historical bad debts experience and changes in customer payment patterns. Trade receivable balances are written off against the allowance when it is deemed probable that the receivable will not be collected. Trade receivables, net are stated net of reserves for certain sales allowances and provisions for doubtful accounts. Provisions for doubtful accounts were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instrumentsThe Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at their respective fair values. All gains and losses associated with derivatives are reported as a finance expense (income) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no derivative instruments.

Fair value measurement

Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1:    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2:    Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.

Level 3:    Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Loss per share

Loss per share

The calculation of the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period in which the reverse merger occurs was based on:

a.The number of common stock outstanding from the beginning of that period to the merge date was computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common stock of the legal acquiree (accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement

b.The number of common outstanding common stock outstanding from the merge date to the end of that period was the actual number of common stock of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period.

The basic and diluted loss per share for each comparative period before the acquisition date presented in the consolidated financial statements following the reverse merger was calculated by dividing (a) by (b):

a.The loss of the legal acquiree attributable to common stockholders in each of those periods.

b.The legal acquiree's historical weighted-average number of common stock outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merge agreement

Net loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common stock and of common stock equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common stock equivalents include outstanding stock options and warrants which are included under the treasury share method when dilutive.

The following average stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), warrants and incremental shares to be issued under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	Three months ended September 30		Nine months ended September 30
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Outstanding stock options, RSUs and shares under the ESPP	20,765,196	11,488,993	15,024,198	10,903,631
Warrants	1,980,660	1,371,225	1,510,168	457,075

In addition to the above, the CSR was excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because its effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented. On April 6, 2020, the Company announced that each of Menlo’s Phase III PN Trials (study MTI-105 and study MTI-106) did not meet their respective primary endpoint of demonstrating statistically significant reduction in pruritus in patients treated with serlopitant compared to placebo based upon a 4-point improvement responder analysis. Each CSR was converted into 1.2082 shares of Menlo common stock, resulting in an effective exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in the Merger of 1.8006 shares of Menlo common stock for each Foamix ordinary share. The conversion of the CSR also affected the Exchange Ratio of the pre-Merger Foamix equity awards and warrants outstanding as of March 9, 2020. See "Note 3 - Business Combination" for more information.

Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recent Accounting Guidance Issued:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-4, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" (ASU 2020-4), which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-4 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-4 are optional and are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-4 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13), which requires companies to measure credit losses of financial instruments, including customer accounts receivable, utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued several additional Accounting Standard Updates to clarify implementation guidance, provide narrow-scope improvements and provide additional disclosure guidance. As a smaller reporting company, the Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023 or at such time where it is no longer a smaller reporting company.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Schedule of Merger Consideration to be transferred

The following is the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) was transferred to effect the Merger:

(in thousands)	Total
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) issuance of Foamix shares to Menlo stockholders	$	123,757
Deemed (for accounting purposes only) conversion of Menlo equity awards	7,322
Total consideration*	$	131,079

* This amount reflects total consideration prior to reduction in respect of the CSRs (which had a fair value of $19.6 million as of the Merger Date) that were issued to Foamix shareholders and that reduced the Menlo stockholders’ relative ownership in the combined company. If the effect of the CSRs is included, the total consideration deemed paid by Foamix, as the accounting acquirer, to Menlo stockholders and equity award holders in the Merger would be reduced to approximately $111.4 million, as shown in the purchase price allocation table below.

Schedule of allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed

The Company completed its analysis of the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

(in thousands)	March 9, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	38,641
Investment in marketable securities	22,703
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,581
In-process research and development	50,300
Goodwill	4,045
Total assets	117,270
Current liabilities	(5,827)
Total liabilities	(5,827)
Estimated purchase price*	$	111,443

* Reflects reduction in the purchase price deemed paid to Menlo stockholders in the Merger on the assumption that the CSRs, in an aggregate value of $19.6 million, convert into additional shares of the combined company for the Foamix shareholders, thereby resulting in a lower percentage of the combined company’s outstanding shares being owned by Menlo stockholders following the Merger.

Schedule of the calculation of goodwill from the merger

The purchase price of the transaction and the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, are calculated as follows:

(in thousands)	March 9, 2020
Purchase price	$	111,443
Less: fair value of net assets acquired, including other identifiable intangibles	(107,398)
Goodwill	$	4,045

Schedule of indefinite-lived intangible IPRD assets acquired in the merger

The IPR&D recognized relates to Menlo’s once-daily oral serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus (itch) associated with PN that has not reached technological feasibility as follows:

(in thousands)
Intangible asset	Estimated Fair Value
Acquired indefinite life intangible assets*	$	50,300
Fair value of identified intangible assets	$	50,300

* Represents acquired IPR&D assets which are initially recognized at fair value and are classified as indefinite-lived assets until the successful completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Accordingly, during the research and development period, these assets will not be amortized into earnings; instead these assets will be subject to periodic impairment testing.
