VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLI DATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Business Organization and Presentation

Business organization

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vanda or the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Vanda commenced its operations in 2003. Vanda’s product portfolio includes HETLIOZ™ (tasimelteon), a product for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24) and for which a New Drug Application (NDA) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2014, Fanapt ®, a product for the treatment of schizophrenia, the oral formulation of which is currently being marketed and sold in the U.S. by Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis), and VLY-686, a small molecule neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The financial information as of March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments with the exception of stock-based compensation expense, see Note 3, Change in Method of Accounting for Stock-based Compensation , consist only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of these interim periods have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory

Inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost or market, includes the cost of third-party manufacturing and other direct and indirect costs and is valued using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with its products upon regulatory approval when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. Inventory is evaluated for impairment by consideration of factors such as lower of cost or market, net realizable value, obsolescence or expiry. The Company’s inventory carrying values do not exceed cost nor do they exceed net realizable value.

Stock-based Compensation

In January 2014, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for the attribution of compensation cost for stock options with graded-vesting and only service conditions to the straight-line method. Previously, attribution was based on the

 

8


accelerated attribution method, which treated each vesting tranche as an individual award and amortized them concurrently. Comparative financial statements for prior periods have been adjusted to apply the straight-line method retrospectively. See Note 3, Change in Method of Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, for further information. Beginning in 2014, the Company started using a mid-point scenario to calculate the weighted average expected term of stock options granted, which combines the Company’s historical exercise data with hypothetical exercise data for unexercised stock options. Prior to 2014, the expected term assumption was determined using the simplified method.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including branded promotional expenses, as incurred. Branded advertising expenses, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company did not incur any advertising expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The new standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Change in Method of Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

In January 2014, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for the attribution of compensation cost for stock options with graded-vesting and only service conditions to the straight-line method. Previously, attribution was based on the accelerated attribution method, which treated each vesting tranche as an individual award and amortized them concurrently. The straight-line method of accounting was adopted to better align the Company’s recognition of stock option compensation cost with its peers and to expense stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) in a consistent manner. Comparative financial statements for prior periods have been adjusted to apply the straight-line method retrospectively. As a result of the change in method of accounting for stock-based compensation, the expense for stock-based compensation related to option awards was $0.5 million lower than it would have been under the accelerated attribution method for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This resulted in a reduction to the net loss of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

There was no adjustment as a result of the change in method of accounting for stock-based compensation to amounts previously reported as assets, liabilities and total stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets for prior periods. However, amounts previously reported as additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit for prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the change in method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The cumulative effect of the change on accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2013, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements was a reduction of $3.2 million. The adjustments as of December 31, 2013 were as follows:

There was no adjustment to the amounts previously reported for net cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for prior periods as a result of the change in method of accounting for stock-based compensation. However, the amounts previously reported as net loss and employee and non-employee stock-based compensation expense in cash flows from operating activities have been adjusted to reflect the change in method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows:

4. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potential outstanding common stock for the period. Potential outstanding common stock includes stock options and shares underlying RSUs, but only to the extent that their inclusion is dilutive.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

    Level 1 — defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets

 

    Level 2 — defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable

 

    Level 3 — defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

Marketable securities classified in Level 1 and Level 2 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consist of available-for-sale marketable securities. The valuation of Level 1 instruments is determined using a market approach, and is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The valuation of investments classified in Level 2 also is determined using a market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 securities include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate notes that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. The Company did not transfer any assets between Level 2 and Level 1 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

In January 2014, the Company announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for HETLIOZ TM . As a result of this approval, the Company met a milestone under its license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) which required the Company to make a license payment of $8.0 million to BMS. The $8.0 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ TM , which the Company expects to last until December 2022.

In 2009, the Company announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for Fanapt ® . As a result of this approval, the Company met a milestone under its original sublicense agreement with Novartis which required the Company to make a license payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. The $12.0 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt ® , which as of December 31, 2013 the Company expected to last until May 2017. In 2014, the Company became aware of events that led it to believe that Novartis would not complete the ongoing pediatric efficacy studies in a time that would enable it to receive the incremental six-month pediatric term extension. This resulted in a six-month reduction to the estimated patent life from May 2017 to November 2016.

The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful economic life using the straight-line method. Amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following is a summary of future intangible asset amortization as of March 31, 2014:

The Company entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis in 2009, pursuant to which Novartis has the right to commercialize and develop Fanapt ® in the U.S. and Canada. Under the amended and restated sublicense agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $200.0 million. The Company and Novartis established a Joint Steering Committee (JSC) following the effective date of the amended and restated sublicense agreement. The Company concluded that the JSC constitutes a deliverable under the amended and restated sublicense agreement and that revenue related to the upfront payment will be recognized ratably over the term of the JSC; however, the delivery or performance has no term as the exact length of the JSC is undefined. As a result, the Company deems the performance period of the JSC to be the life of the U.S. patent of Fanapt ® . Revenue related to the upfront payment will be recognized ratably from the date the amended and restated sublicense agreement became effective (November 2009) through the expected life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt ® (November 2016). See Note 9 Intangible Assets, for a discussion of the Fanapt ® patent life.

12. Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The fact that the Company has historically generated net operating losses (NOLs) serves as strong evidence that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. Therefore, the Company has a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Changes in ownership may limit the amount of NOL carryforwards that can be utilized in the future to offset taxable income.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating leases

In 2011, the Company entered into an office lease with Square 54 Office Owner LLC (the Landlord) for its current headquarters, consisting of 21,400 square feet at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. (the Lease). Subject to the prior rights of other tenants in the building, the Company has the right to renew the Lease for five years following the expiration of its original term. The Company has the right to sublease or assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions. The Lease may be terminated early by the Company or the Landlord upon certain conditions.

In March 2014, the Company and the Landlord entered into a lease amendment (the Lease Amendment). Under the Lease Amendment, the Company has the right to occupy an additional 8,860 square feet in the building. The Lease Amendment has a 12 year and one month term beginning on September 1, 2014, but may be terminated early by either the Landlord or the Company upon certain conditions. The Company will pay approximately $0.4 million in annual rent over the term of the Lease Amendment, however rent will be abated for the first nine months. The Landlord will provide the Company with an allowance of approximately $0.8 million for construction on the premises to the Company’s specifications, subject to certain conditions. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants in the building, the Company will have the right to renew the Lease Amendment for five years following the expiration of its original term. The Company paid advanced rent of approximately $32,000 upon execution of the Lease Amendment. The Company will also have the right to sublease or assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions.

The following is a summary of the minimum annual future payments under operating leases as of March 31, 2014:

15


Consulting fees

The Company engaged a regulatory consultant to assist the Company’s efforts to prepare, file and obtain FDA approval of an NDA for HETLIOZ™. As a result of the FDA approval of the NDA for HETLIOZ™, the Company made a milestone payment of $2.0 million, which is included in research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition to consulting fees and milestone payments, the Company is obligated to reimburse the consultant for ordinary and necessary business expenses. In March 2014, the Company terminated the engagement.

License agreements

The Company’s rights to develop and commercialize its products are subject to the terms and conditions of licenses granted to the Company by other pharmaceutical companies.

HETLIOZ™. In February 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with BMS under which the Company received an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize HETLIOZ™. As a result of the FDA approval of the NDA for HETLIOZ™ in January 2014, the Company made a milestone payment of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2014. The Company will be obligated to make a future milestone payment to BMS of up to $25.0 million in the event that cumulative sales of HETLIOZ™ reach $250.0 million. Additionally, the Company will be obligated to make royalty payments equal to 10% of net sales of HETLIOZ™. The Company is also obligated under the license agreement to pay BMS a percentage of any sublicense fees, upfront payments and milestone and other payments (excluding royalties) that the Company receives from a third party in connection with any sublicensing arrangement, at a rate which is in the mid-twenties. Under the license agreement with BMS for HETLIOZ™, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize HETLIOZ™ and to meet certain milestones in initiating and completing certain clinical work.

Either party may terminate the HETLIOZ™ license agreement under certain circumstances, including a material breach of the agreement by the other. In the event the Company terminates the license, or if BMS terminates the license due to the Company’s breach, all rights licensed and developed by the Company under the license agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to BMS on an exclusive basis.

Fanapt ® . The Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights to patents and patent applications for Fanapt ® in 2004 through a sublicense agreement with Novartis. As a result of the FDA’s approval of the NDA for Fanapt ® in May 2009, the Company met a milestone under the sublicense agreement, which required the Company to make a payment of $12.0 million to Novartis.

In 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis, which amended and restated the 2004 sublicense agreement. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $200.0 million and is eligible for additional payments totaling up to $265.0 million upon Novartis’ achievement of certain commercial and development milestones for Fanapt ® in the U.S. and Canada. Based on the current sales performance of Fanapt ® in the U.S., the Company expects that some or all of these commercial and development milestones will not be achieved by Novartis. The Company also receives royalties, which, as a percentage of net sales, are in the low double-digits, on net sales of Fanapt ® in the U.S. and Canada.

The Company retains exclusive rights to Fanapt ® outside the U.S. and Canada, and the Company has exclusive rights to use any of Novartis’ data for Fanapt ® for developing and commercializing Fanapt ® outside the U.S. and Canada. Novartis has chosen not to co-commercialize Fanapt ® with the Company in Europe and certain other countries and will instead receive a royalty on net sales in those countries. These include, but are not limited to, the countries in the European Union as well as Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. The Company has entered into agreements with the following partners for the commercialization of Fanapt ® in the countries set forth below:

 

Country

  

Partner

Mexico

   Probiomed S.A. de C.V.

Israel

   Megapharm Ltd.

In 2012, the Israeli Ministry of Health and Argentina granted market approval for Fanapt ® for the treatment of schizophrenia. In October 2013, the Mexican Federal Commission for Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) granted market approval for Fanapt ® for the treatment of schizophrenia.

 

16


VLY-686. In 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) pursuant to which the Company acquired an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize an NK-1R antagonist, VLY-686, for all human indications. The patent describing VLY-686 as a new chemical entity expires in April 2023, except in the U.S., where it expires in June 2024 absent any applicable patent term adjustments.

Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company will be responsible for all development costs, and Lilly is eligible to receive payments based upon achievement of specified development and commercialization milestones as well as tiered-royalties on net sales at percentage rates up to the low double digits. These milestones include $4.0 million for pre-NDA approval milestones and up to $95.0 million for future regulatory approval and sales milestones. The Company is obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize VLY-686.

Either party may terminate the license agreement under certain circumstances, including a material breach of the license agreement by the other. In the event the Company terminates the license agreement, or if Lilly terminates due to the Company’s breach or for certain other reasons set forth in the license agreement, all rights licensed and developed by the Company under the license agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to Lilly on an exclusive basis, subject to payment by Lilly to the Company of a royalty on net sales of products that contain VLY-686.

Future milestone payments. No amounts were recorded as liabilities nor were any future contractual obligations relating to the license agreements included in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 because the criteria for recording the future milestone payments have not yet been met. These criteria include the successful outcome of future clinical trials, regulatory filings, favorable FDA regulatory approvals, growth in product sales and other factors.

14. Employee Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs for all stock-based awards to employees and directors are measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee or director is required to perform service in exchange for the award. The Company generally recognizes the expense over the award’s vesting period.

In January 2014, the Company elected to change its method of accounting for the attribution of compensation cost for stock options with graded-vesting and only service conditions from the accelerated attribution method to the straight-line method. See Note 3, Change in Method of Accounting for Stock-based Compensation for additional discussion. The fair value of stock options granted and RSUs awarded are amortized using the straight-line method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock and other factors. Beginning in 2014, the Company started using a mid-point scenario to calculate the weighted average expected term of stock options granted, which combines the Company’s historical exercise data with hypothetical exercise data for unexercised stock options. Prior to 2014, the expected term assumption was determined using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not paid dividends to its stockholders since its inception (other than a dividend of preferred share purchase rights, which was declared in September 2008) and does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for employee and director stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two equity incentive plans, the Second Amended and Restated Management Equity Plan (the 2004 Plan) and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan). There were 652,810 shares subject to outstanding options granted under the 2004 Plan as of March 31, 2014, and no additional options will be granted under this plan. As of March 31, 2014, there were 10,329,472 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, of which 5,786,979 shares were subject to outstanding options and RSUs granted to employees and non-employees and 2,476,074 shares remained available for future grant.

The Company has granted option awards with service conditions that are subject to terms and conditions established by the compensation committee of the board of directors. Service option awards have 10-year contractual terms and all service option awards granted prior to 2007, service option awards granted to new employees, and certain service option awards granted to existing employees vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date with respect to the 25% of the shares subject to service option awards. The remaining 75% of the shares subject to the service option awards vest and become exercisable monthly in equal installments thereafter over three years. Certain service option awards granted to existing employees after December 2006 vest and become exercisable monthly in equal installments over four years. The initial service option awards granted to directors upon their election vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of four years, while the subsequent annual service option awards granted to directors vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of one year. Certain service option awards to executives and directors provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company. Certain service option awards to employees and executives provide for accelerated vesting if the respective employee’s or executive’s service is terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or permanent disability. As of March 31, 2014, there was $9.0 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested service option awards expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. No service option awards are classified as a liability as of March 31, 2014.

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options amounted to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

An RSU is a stock award that entitles the holder to receive shares of the Company’s common stock as the award vests. The fair value of each RSU is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The Company has granted RSUs with service conditions that vest in four equal annual installments provided that the employee remains employed with the Company. As of March 31, 2014, there was $5.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested RSUs expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. No RSUs are classified as a liability as of March 31, 2014.

Overview

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (we, our, or Vanda) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. Vanda commenced its operations in 2003 and our product portfolio includes:

 

    HETLIOZ™ (tasimelteon), a product for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24), which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2014 and launched commercially in April 2014 in the U.S.;

 

    Fanapt ® (iloperidone), a product for the treatment of schizophrenia, the oral formulation of which is currently being marketed and sold in the U.S. by Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis); and

 

    VLY-686 (tradipitant), a small molecule neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist.

Since we began operations in March 2003, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the in-licensing and clinical development of our products. Our products target prescription markets with significant unmet medical needs. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability largely depends on our ability, alone or with others, to complete the development of our products, and to obtain the regulatory approvals for and manufacture, market and sell our products, including HETLIOZ™ for the treatment of Non-24 and Novartis’ ability to successfully commercialize Fanapt ® in the U.S. The results of our operations will vary significantly and depend on a number of factors, including risks related to our business, risks related to our industry, and other risks which are detailed in Item 1A of Part I, entitled “Risk Factors,” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Our activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital throughout 2014 and beyond. We are currently concentrating our efforts on the U.S. commercial launch of HETLIOZ™. Additionally, we and our partners continue to pursue market approval of Fanapt ® in a number of foreign jurisdictions, with Mexico, Israel and Argentina having already approved Fanapt ® for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Revenues

Our revenues are derived primarily from our amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis and include an upfront payment, product sales and future milestone and royalty payments. Revenues are considered both realizable and earned when the following four conditions are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable, (iii) delivery or performance has occurred, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue related to the $200.0 million upfront payment is being recognized ratably on a straight-line basis from the date the amended and restated sublicense agreement became effective (November 2009) through the expected life of the U.S. patent for Fanapt ® which we expect to last until November 2016. See Intangible Assets footnote to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information. This includes the Hatch-Waxman extension that extends patent protection for drug compounds for a period of five years to compensate for time spent in development, for which Fanapt ® has qualified. We recognize revenues from Fanapt ® royalties and commercial and development milestones from Novartis when realizable.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of fees for services provided by third parties in connection with the clinical trials, costs of contract manufacturing services, milestone payments made under licensing agreements prior to regulatory approval, costs of materials used in clinical trials and research and development, costs for regulatory consultants and filings, depreciation of capital resources used to develop products, related facilities costs, and salaries, other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation for research and development personnel. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred for products in the development stage, including manufacturing costs and milestone payments made under license agreements prior to FDA approval. Upon and subsequent to FDA approval, manufacturing and milestone payments made under

 

21


license agreements are capitalized. Milestone payments are accrued when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will be achieved . Costs related to the acquisition of intellectual property are expensed as incurred if the underlying technology is developed in connection with our research and development efforts and has no alternative future use.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, other related costs for personnel, including employee stock-based compensation, related to executive, finance, accounting, information technology, marketing, medical affairs and human resource functions. Other costs include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses and fees for marketing, medical affairs, legal, accounting and other professional services. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include third party expenses incurred to support sales, business development, marketing and other business activities. We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated 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 our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We base our estimates on 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 apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Inventory

Inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost or market, includes the cost of third-party manufacturing and other direct and indirect costs and is valued using the first-in, first-out method. We capitalize inventory costs associated with our products upon regulatory approval when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. Inventory is evaluated for impairment by consideration of factors such as lower of cost or market, net realizable value, obsolescence or expiry. Our inventory carrying values do not exceed cost nor do they exceed net realizable value. We evaluate expiry risk by evaluating current and future product demand relative to product shelf life. We build demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance and patient usage.

Stock-based Compensation

In January 2014, we elected to change our method of accounting for the attribution of compensation cost for stock options with graded-vesting and only service conditions to the straight-line method. Previously, attribution was based on the accelerated attribution method, which treated each vesting tranche as an individual award and amortized them concurrently. The straight-line method of accounting was adopted to better align our recognition of stock option compensation cost with our peers and to expense stock options and restricted stock units in a consistent manner. Comparative financial statements for prior periods have been adjusted to apply the straight-line method retrospectively. See Change in Method of Accounting for Stock-based Compensation footnote to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for further information. Beginning in 2014, we started using a mid-point scenario to calculate the weighted average expected term of stock options granted, which combines our historical exercise data with hypothetical exercise data for unexercised stock options. Prior to 2014, the expected term assumption was determined using the simplified method.

Total employee stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was comprised of the following:

With the exception of accounting for stock-based compensation, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies including estimates, assumptions and judgments as described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for information on recent accounting pronouncements.

Results of Operations

We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including our and our partners’ ability to successfully commercialize our products, any possible payments made or received pursuant to license or collaboration agreements, progress of our research and development efforts, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and related possible regulatory approvals. Our limited operating history makes predictions of future operations difficult or impossible. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $334.7 million as of March 31, 2014. Our total stockholders’ equity was $21.0 million as of March 31, 2014.

Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to three months ended March 31, 2013

Revenues . Total revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 12%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include licensing revenue of $7.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively, representing amortization of deferred revenue from the $200.0 million up-front license fee received from Novartis. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included royalty revenue of $1.7 million from Novartis based on quarterly sales of Fanapt ® by Novartis compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. In April 2014, we announced the commercial launch of HETLIOZ TM .

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 10%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the costs of our product development initiatives for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Included in this table are the research and development expenses recognized in connection with the clinical development of HETLIOZ TM , VLY-686 and Fanapt ® :

(1) We record direct costs, including personnel costs and related benefits, on a project-by-project basis. Many of our research and development costs are not attributable to any individual project because we share resources across several development projects. We record indirect costs that support a number of our research and development activities in the aggregate, including employee stock-based compensation.

Direct HETLIOZ TM project costs decreased $1.2 million, or 17%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Lower research and development expenses were primarily due to the completion of Non-24 and Major Depressive Disorder efficacy studies during the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by a $2.0 million milestone payment related to our regulatory consulting agreement as a result of the FDA approval of our NDA for HETLIOZ TM and third-party manufacturing costs incurred in anticipation of HETLIOZ TM approval.

 

23


Direct VLY-686 project costs increased $0.4 million, or 200%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 due to increased activity related to the Phase II clinical study, which commenced in 2014.

We expect to incur significant research and development expenses as we continue to develop our products. In addition, we expect to incur licensing costs in the future that could be substantial, as we continue our efforts to develop our products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling , g eneral and administrative expenses increased by $23.7 million, or 564%, to $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we added a field based sales force and a national accounts team. In addition, a medical affairs team has been deployed to support HETLIOZ™ and Non-24 medical education. We expanded the Non-24 Disease Awareness campaign with radio and television advertisements broadcast nationwide. Salaries and benefit costs increased approximately $1.5 million to $2.5 million during the quarter primarily due to increases in our employee headcount. Costs are expected to increase in future periods as we continue to build our marketing and sales organization for the commercial launch of HETLIOZ TM .

Intangible asset amortization . Intangible asset amortization was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase is due to amortization related to the $8.0 million milestone payment made to BMS as a result of receiving FDA approval for HETLIOZ TM that was capitalized in the first quarter of 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2014, our total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $100.4 million, compared to $130.4 million as of December 31, 2013. Our cash and cash equivalents are deposits in operating accounts and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at date of purchase and consist of time deposits, investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions, and commercial paper of high-quality corporate issuers. Our marketable securities consist of investments in government sponsored enterprises and commercial paper.

Our liquidity resources as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:

As of March 31, 2014 we maintained all of our cash and cash equivalents in two financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such deposits.

We expect to incur substantial costs and expenses as a result of the FDA approval of our NDA for HETLIOZ™ and the U.S. commercial launch of HETLIOZ TM . In the first quarter of 2014, we made milestone payments of $8.0 million under the license agreement with BMS and $2.0 million under a regulatory consulting agreement as a result of HETLIOZ™ being approved by the FDA.

Because of the uncertainties discussed above, the costs to advance our research and development projects and the commercial launch of HETLIOZ™, are difficult to estimate and may vary significantly. It is uncertain whether our existing funds will be sufficient to meet our operating needs. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, primarily including our ability to generate revenue, the scope and costs of our commercial, manufacturing and process development activities and the magnitude of our discovery, preclinical and clinical development programs.

 

24


We may need or desire to obtain additional capital to finance our operations through debt, equity or alternative financing arrangements. We may also seek capital through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. The issuance of debt could require us to grant liens on certain of our assets that may limit our flexibility. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the terms and prices for these financings may be much more favorable to the new investors than the terms obtained by our existing stockholders. These financings also may significantly dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our future activities which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. There can be no assurance that any additional financing required in the future will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

In assessing cash used in operating activities, we consider several principal factors: (i) net loss for the period; (ii) adjustments for non-cash charges including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment; and (iii) the extent to which receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, or other working capital components increase or decrease.

Net cash used in operating activities was $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $14.8 million from net cash used in operating activities of $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in net cash used for operating activities resulted from an increase in net loss of $22.0 million, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in non-cash charges, and a net increase of $7.0 million in the working capital components that provided operating cash flow in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily resulted from $8.4 million in net proceeds from sales, maturities and purchases of marketable securities, which was partially offset by an $8.0 million milestone payment to BMS as a result of the FDA approval of HETLIOZ TM in January 2014. Net cash provided by investing activities of $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted of maturities of marketable securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $2.2 million, from net cash used in financing activities of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase is primarily due to $2.4 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a) (4) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K.

Contractual obligations and commitments

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Operating leases

In March 2014, we entered into a lease amendment (Lease Amendment) with Square 54 Office Owner LLC (the Landlord) to

 

25


occupy an additional 8,860 square feet in our headquarters building located in Washington, D.C. The Lease Amendment has a 12 year and one month term beginning on September 1, 2014, but may be terminated early by either the Landlord or us upon certain conditions. We will pay approximately $0.4 million in annual rent over the term of the Lease Amendment, however rent will be abated for the first nine months. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants in the building, we will have the right to renew the Lease Amendment for five years following the expiration of its original term. We paid advanced rent of approximately $32,000 upon execution of the Lease Amendment. We will also have the right to sublease or assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions.

ITEM 3 Quantitative a nd Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rates

Our exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. We have not used derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments.

Marketable securities

We deposit our cash with financial institutions that we consider to be of high credit quality and purchase marketable securities which are generally investment grade, liquid, short-term fixed income securities and money-market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. Our marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes and U.S. government agency notes.

Effects of inflation

Inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 4 Controls a nd Procedures.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of March 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2014, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

If at any time and from time to time Patheon or Client determines, acting reasonably and based on the forecasts and Firm Orders received from the Client, that the current Annual Volume or Minimum Order Quantity listed in Schedule B for each specific Product strength will either not be met or will be exceeded (i.e., the actual Minimum Order Quantity and/or the actual Annual Volume, and the costs of such variations, exceed the range of such value(s) provided in the tables in Schedule B), then Patheon or Client shall be entitled to request an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing in respect of that Product to reflect the increased or decreased costs that Patheon will incur as a result of the increased or reduced volumes beyond the range of such values provided in the tables in Schedule B. To the extent that the fee for Manufacturing in respect of a Product has been previously adjusted pursuant to this clause (a) to reflect reduced volumes or increased volumes, the adjustment provided in this clause (a) shall operate based on the fees attributed to such Product at the time the last of such adjustments were made.

(b) Extraordinary Increase in Component Costs . If at any time market conditions result in Patheon’s cost of Components being **** greater than normal forecasted increases, then Patheon shall be entitled to an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing in respect of any affected Product solely to compensate it for such increased Component costs that may be justified by reasonable documentation, provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. For the purposes of this clause (b), changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases shall be considered to have occurred only if ****. To the extent that Component costs have been previously adjusted pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.2 or this clause (b) to reflect an increase in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Component (or Components) at the time the last of such adjustments were made.

In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B and such budgetary pricing information, adjusted Component costs or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that an increase or decrease in fee adjustment is justified

(and/or upon the reasonable request of Client, such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate to Client that a decrease in the fee adjustment is not justified), provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly. If the parties are unable to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product within **** after receipt by Client of Patheon’s fee adjustment request, then ****.

Patheon will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the increases in cost of Components will not be materially greater than normal forecasted increases.

 

4.4 Adjustments Due to Technical Changes.

Amendments to the Specifications or the Quality Agreement requested by the Client will only be implemented following a good faith technical and cost review by Patheon and are subject to the Client and Patheon reaching agreement in writing as to revisions, if any, to the fees specified in Schedules B or C necessitated by any such amendment. Amendments to the Specifications, the Quality Agreement or the Manufacturing Site or any material deviations from the assumptions specified in Schedule B requested by Patheon will only be implemented following the written approval of Client, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

If these representatives fail to solve the matter within **** from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the **** period set forth above, such dispute shall immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer (or such other officer as he/she may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, either party may refer the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, in any case where issues involving the protection or unauthorized use or disclosure of a party’s confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property are involved).

 

12.2 Technical Dispute Resolution .

If a dispute (other than disputes in relation to the matters set out in Sections 6.1(b) and 12.1) arises between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage or other activities under this Agreement (a “Technical Dispute”), the parties shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In this regard, senior representatives of each party shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than **** after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within **** after such written request, the Technical Dispute shall, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with the provisions of Schedule F. In the event that the parties cannot agree whether a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 shall prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, in any case where issues involving the protection or

unauthorized use or disclosure of a party’s confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property are involved).

 

12.3 Arbitration.

If any dispute cannot be resolved in accordance with Section 12.1, such dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration in **** using the English language in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“ JAMS ”) then in effect, by one or more commercial arbitrator(s) with substantial experience in resolving complex commercial contract disputes, who may or may not be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators. If the parties cannot agree upon the number and identity of the arbitrators within **** following the date on which a party referred the applicable dispute to arbitration, then a single arbitrator shall be selected on an expedited basis in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. Any arbitrator so selected shall have substantial experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant specific performance and to allocate between the parties the costs of arbitration allocate between the parties the costs of arbitration (including service fees, arbitrator fees and all other fees related to the arbitration) in such equitable manner as the arbitrator(s) may determine. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including reasonable lawyers’ fees, expert witness fees and all other expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator(s), provided that a permanent injunction and damages shall only be awarded by the arbitrator(s).

 

12.4 Dispute and Termination for Breach.

Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in this Agreement, a non-breaching party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a) on account of a disputed breach until the dispute is resolved by mutual agreement or arbitration pursuant to Section 12.3 confirming the existence of the breach.

THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO LEASE (“ Amendment ”) is made as of the 18 day of March 2014 (“ Effective Date ”), by and between SQUARE 54 OFFICE OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Landlord ”), and VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC., a Delaware corporation (“ Tenant ”).

WITNESSETH :

WHEREAS, by Lease dated as of July 25, 2011 (“ Lease ”), Landlord is leasing to Tenant 21,400 square feet of rentable area located on the 3rd floor of the East Tower of the Building (the “ Premises ”), located at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC (the “ Building ”); and

WHEREAS, Landlord desires to lease to Tenant and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof, eight thousand eight hundred sixty (8,860) rentable square feet of office space (“ 2nd Floor East Premises ”) on the second (2nd) floor of the East Tower of the Building, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto; and

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend certain terms and conditions of the Lease as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:

1. Defined Terms . All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as provided for such terms in the Lease.

2. 2nd Floor East Premises; Lease Term .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant does hereby lease from Landlord the 2nd Floor East Premises. The 2nd Floor East Premises shall be subject to, and have the benefits of, all of the terms and conditions of the Lease applicable with respect to the original Premises for the entire 2 nd Floor East Premises Lease Term (as hereinafter defined), except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

(b) The term of the Lease with respect to the 2nd Floor East Premises will commence on September 1, 2014 (“ 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Commencement Date ”), and shall expire on September 30, 2026 (“ 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term ”), unless such 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term shall be terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of the Lease or shall be extended in accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 8 below and Rider No. 1 to the Lease. Tenant shall be deemed to have commenced beneficial use of the 2nd Floor East Premises when Tenant commences business operations in the 2nd Floor

EXHIBIT 10.54

 

East Premises. Landlord anticipates delivering the 2nd Floor East Premises twenty-four (24) hours following the Effective Date of this Amendment. The term “Lease Term” in the Lease shall include the period of the 2 nd Floor East Premises Lease Term and, if applicable, the 2 nd Floor East Premises Renewal Term, with respect to the 2 nd Floor East Premises so that the Lease Term will continue with respect to the 2 nd Floor East Premises even if the only space leased under the Lease is the 2 nd Floor East Premises.

(c) The term “Premises” as used in the Lease (but not as used herein) shall mean the original Premises and the 2nd Floor East Premises.

3. 2nd Floor East Premises Base Rent; Operating Expenses .

(a) Commencing on the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter during the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as annual base rent for the 2nd Floor East Premises, without set off, deduction or demand, an amount equal to the product of Forty-Three and 00/100 Dollars ($43.00) multiplied by the total number of square feet of rentable area in the 2nd Floor East Premises (i.e, 8,860 rentable square feet). In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on or prior to the Effective Date, the sum of Thirty-One Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Eight and 34/100 Dollars ($31,748.34) (“ 2nd Floor East Premises Advanced Rent ”), which sum shall be credited by Landlord toward the monthly installment of annual base rent due on the first (1 st ) day of the tenth (10th) calendar month falling after the month in which the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Commencement Date occurs.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 3 and provided no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred, Landlord hereby agrees to grant Tenant an abatement of one hundred percent (100%) of the annual base rent and Operating Expenses payable hereunder for the first nine (9) full calendar months of the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term (the “ 2nd Floor East Premises Rent Abatement ”); provided however, if Tenant cures such Event of Default in full prior to the end of the first nine (9) full calendar months of the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term, then Tenant shall be entitled to the abatement as of the day following such cure. Thereafter Tenant shall pay the full amount of annual base rent due in accordance with the provisions of this Paragraph 3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 3(b), the rent escalation, as required by Paragraph 3(c) below, shall be based on the full and unabated amount of rent payable for the first (1st) Lease Year of the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term as set forth in Paragraph 3(a) above.

(c) Commencing on the first anniversary of the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Commencement Date and each anniversary thereafter during the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term, the base rent for the 2nd Floor East Premises payable by Tenant shall be increased by two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the amount of base rent payable for the preceding Lease Year.

(d) Commencing on the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent for the 2nd Floor East Premises, Tenant’s proportionate share of the Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord during any calendar year

falling entirely or partly within the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term. Such Operating Expenses for the 2 nd Floor East Premises shall be calculated in the same manner as is set forth in Article IV of the Lease, with the proportionate share adjusted during the 2 nd Floor East Premises Lease Term to reflect the 2 nd Floor East Premises leased pursuant to this Amendment.

Subject to Landlord’s approval of size, location and design, Tenant shall have the right to install a communicating stair (“ Interconnecting Stair ”) between the 2nd Floor East Premises and Tenant’s original Premises located on the 3rd Floor East of the Building (“ Interconnecting Stair Area ”). At the direction of Landlord, Tenant must remove or demise-off the Interconnecting Stair to meet Legal Requirements upon the expiration or earlier termination of either (i) the Lease Term with respect to the portion of the Premises located on the third floor only, (ii) the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Term or (iii) the Lease Term for all of the space leased to Tenant under the Lease and this Amendment, and Tenant shall restore the Interconnecting Stair Area to its condition prior to installation of the Interconnecting Stair in compliance with Legal Requirements. The slab shall be restored such that the stair opening will be in-filled with concrete on metal deck supported by edge angles. The in-fill will achieve the same load capacity as that of the existing slab around the opening and will be a 2 hour rated assembly. The slab levelness and load capacity will comply with specifications in Exhibit B – Schedule I to the Lease, including the specifications in Section 1(d). Additionally, the in-fill will be constructed in a manner that does not exceed the capacity of the adjacent floor slab or adversely impact the ceiling plenum of the space below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Tenant shall not be responsible for the removal of the Interconnecting Stair and restoration or demising-off of the Interconnecting Stair Area if Hunton & Williams LLP exercises its right to expand into Tenant’s original Premises and the 2nd Floor East Premises at the same time, and provided Hunton & Williams LLP elects to keep the Interconnecting Stair in place.

7. Parking . In accordance with Article XXIV of the Lease, Landlord agrees to make available to Tenant and its employees and to Tenant’s permitted subtenants, at the then prevailing monthly market rate for non-reserved parking permits in comparable Trophy Class and Class A buildings in downtown Washington, D.C., monthly parking permits in an aggregate amount not to exceed one (1) monthly parking permit for each one thousand three hundred fifty (1,350) square feet of above-grade rentable area in the 2nd Floor East Premises (i.e., seven (7) monthly parking permits).

Tenant’s right to renew the term of the Lease with respect to the 2nd Floor East Premises hereunder is subject and subordinate to the right of Hunton & Williams LLP to expand into the 2nd Floor East Premises pursuant to expansion rights contained in Hunton & Williams LLP’s lease pursuant to a mutual agreement of Landlord and Hunton & Williams LLP. In addition, all other terms and conditions of the 2nd Floor East Premises Renewal Term shall be in accordance with Rider No. 1 to the Lease; provided however, the Renewal Option Notice and Outside Notice Deadline shall be based on the 2nd Floor East Premises Lease Expiration Date.

9. Access Control .

May 8, 2014

Board of Directors

Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 300

Washington DC, 20037

Dear Directors:

We are providing this letter to you for inclusion as an exhibit to your Form 10-Q filing pursuant to Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

We have been provided a copy of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014. Note 3 therein describes a change in accounting principle from the accelerated attribution method to the straight-line method of recording certain share-based compensation costs. It should be understood that the preferability of one acceptable method of accounting over another for the attribution of share-based compensation costs has not been addressed in any authoritative accounting literature, and in expressing our concurrence below we have relied on management’s determination that this change in accounting principle is preferable. Based on our reading of management’s stated reasons and justification for this change in accounting principle in the Form 10-Q, and our discussions with management as to their judgment about the relevant business planning factors relating to the change, we concur with management that such change represents, in the Company’s circumstances, the adoption of a preferable accounting principle in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections .

We have not audited any financial statements of the Company as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2013. Accordingly, our comments are subject to change upon completion of an audit of the financial statements covering the period of the accounting change.

Very truly yours,

PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP
