Note 1 - The Company & Basis of Presentation
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]
1. THE COMPANY & BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Impax Laboratories, Inc. (“Impax” or “Company”) is a technology-based, specialty pharmaceutical company. The Company has two reportable segments, referred to as the “Global Pharmaceuticals Division” (“Global Division”) and the “Impax Pharmaceuticals Division” (“Impax Division”).

The Global Division develops, manufactures, sells, and distributes generic pharmaceutical products primarily through four sales channels: the “Global products” sales channel, for generic pharmaceutical prescription products the Company sells directly to wholesalers, large retail drug chains, and others; the “Private Label” sales channel, for generic pharmaceutical over-the-counter (“OTC”) and prescription products the Company sells to unrelated third-party customers who in-turn sell the product to third parties under their own label; the “Rx Partner” sales channel, for generic prescription products sold through unrelated third-party pharmaceutical entities under their own label pursuant to alliance agreements; and the “OTC Partner” sales channel, for generic pharmaceutical OTC products sold through an unrelated third-party pharmaceutical entity under its own label pursuant to an alliance agreement.  Revenues from the “Global Products” sales channel and the “Private Label” sales channel are reported under the caption “Global Product sales, net” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.” The Company also generates revenue from research and development services provided under a joint development agreement with an unrelated third party pharmaceutical company, and reports such revenue under the caption “Other Revenues” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.” The Company provides these services through the research and development group in the Global Division. Revenues from the “OTC Partner” sales channel are also reported under the caption “Other Revenues” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.”

The Impax Division is engaged in the development of proprietary brand pharmaceutical products that the Company believes represent improvements to already-approved pharmaceutical products addressing central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders. The Impax Division currently has one internally developed late stage branded pharmaceutical product candidate, RYTARY™ (IPX066), an extended release capsule formulation of carbidopa-levodopa for the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease, for which the New Drug Application (“NDA”) was accepted for filing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in February 2012 and for which the Company received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA in January 2013. The Company is currently working with the FDA on the appropriate next steps for the RYTARY™ NDA. In addition to RYTARY™, the Impax Division has a number of other product candidates that are in varying stages of development. The Impax Division is also engaged in the sale and distribution of Zomig® (zolmitriptan) products, indicated for the treatment of migraine headaches, under the terms of a Distribution, License, Development and Supply Agreement (“AZ Agreement”) with AstraZeneca UK Limited (“AstraZeneca”) in the United States and in certain U.S. territories. Revenues from Impax-labeled Zomig® products are reported under the caption “Impax Product sales, net” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.” Finally, the Company generates revenue in the Impax Division from research and development services provided under a development and license agreement with another unrelated third-party pharmaceutical company, and reports such revenue under the caption “Other Revenues” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.”

In California, the Company utilizes a combination of owned and leased facilities mainly located in Hayward. The Company’s primary properties in California consist of a leased office building used as the Company’s corporate headquarters, in addition to five properties it owns, including a research and development center facility and a manufacturing facility. Additionally, the Company leases two facilities in Hayward, utilized for additional research and development, administrative services, and equipment storage. In Pennsylvania, the Company owns a packaging, warehousing, and distribution center located in Philadelphia and leases a facility in New Britain used for sales and marketing, finance, and administrative personnel, as well as providing additional warehouse space. Outside the United States, in Taiwan, Republic of China (“R.O.C.”), the Company owns a manufacturing facility.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company, have been prepared based upon United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules permitting reduced disclosure for interim periods, and include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statements of cash flows, and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items.  While certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the operating parent company, Impax Laboratories, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Impax Laboratories (Taiwan) Inc., Impax Laboratories USA, LLC and Impax Laboratories (Netherlands) BV, and an equity investment in Prohealth Biotech, Inc. (“Prohealth”), in which the Company held a 57.54% majority ownership interest at March 31, 2013. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The unaudited results of operations and cash flows for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the expected results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for the full year ending December 31, 2013.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the SEC, wherein a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information can be found.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC requires the use of estimates and assumptions, based on complex judgments considered reasonable, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The most significant judgments are employed in estimates used in determining values of tangible and intangible assets, legal contingencies, tax assets and tax liabilities, fair value of share-based compensation related to equity incentive awards issued to employees and directors, and estimates used in applying the Company’s revenue recognition policy including those related to accrued chargebacks, rebates, product returns, Medicare, Medicaid, and other government rebate programs, shelf-stock adjustments, and the timing and amount of deferred and recognized revenue and deferred and amortized product manufacturing costs related to alliance and collaboration agreements.  Actual results may differ from estimated results.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, covering a wide range of matters, including, among others, patent litigation, and product and clinical trial liability.  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 450, "Contingencies", the Company records accrued loss contingencies when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.  The Company, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, does not recognize gain contingencies until realized.

Note 2 - Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition [Text Block]
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete, which under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Topic No. 13, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), is when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, there is persuasive evidence a revenue arrangement exists, delivery of goods or services has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company accounts for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-25, revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple elements, which addresses the determination of whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. A delivered item within an arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting only if both of the following criteria are met:

 
·
the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and

 
·
if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the control of the vendor.

Under FASB ASC Topic 605-25, if both of the criteria above are not met, then separate accounting for the individual deliverables is not appropriate. Revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables constituting a single unit of accounting is recognized generally over the greater of the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance, either on a straight-line basis or on a modified proportional performance basis.

The Company accounts for milestones related to research and development activities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-28, milestone method of revenue recognition.  FASB ASC Topic 605-28 allows for the recognition of consideration, which is contingent on the achievement of a substantive milestone, in its entirety in the period the milestone is achieved.  A milestone is considered to be substantive if all of the following criteria are met:  the milestone is commensurate with either: (1) the performance required to achieve the milestone, or (2) the enhancement of the value of the delivered items resulting from the performance required to achieve the milestone; the milestone relates solely to past performance; and, the milestone is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the agreement.

Global Product sales, net, and Impax Product sales, net:

Global Product sales, net and Impax Product sales, net include revenue recognized related to shipments of generic and branded pharmaceutical products to the Company’s customers, primarily drug wholesalers and retail chains. Gross sales revenue is recognized at the time title and risk of loss passes to the customer, which is generally when product is received by the customer. Global and Impax Product revenue, net may include deductions from the gross sales price related to estimates for chargebacks, rebates, distribution service fees, returns, shelf-stock, and other pricing adjustments. The Company records an estimate for these deductions in the same period when the revenue is recognized. A summary of each of these deductions is as follows:

Chargebacks

The Company has agreements establishing contract prices for certain products with certain indirect customers, such as managed care organizations, hospitals and government agencies who purchase products from drug wholesalers. The contract prices are lower than the prices the customer would otherwise pay to the wholesaler, and the price difference is referred to as a chargeback, which generally takes the form of a credit memo issued by the Company to reduce the invoiced gross selling price charged to the wholesaler. An estimated accrued provision for chargeback deductions is recognized at the time of product shipment. The primary factors considered when estimating the provision for chargebacks are the average historical chargeback credits given, the mix of products shipped, and the amount of inventory on hand at the major drug wholesalers with whom the Company does business.  The Company also monitors actual chargebacks granted and compares them to the estimated provision for chargebacks to assess the reasonableness of the chargeback reserve at each quarterly balance sheet date.

Rebates

The Company maintains various rebate programs with its customers in an effort to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace and to promote sales and customer loyalty. The rebates generally take the form of a credit memo to reduce the invoiced gross selling price charged to a customer for products shipped. An estimated accrued provision for rebate deductions is recognized at the time of product shipment. The primary factors the Company considers when estimating the provision for rebates are the average historical experience of aggregate credits issued, the mix of products shipped and the historical relationship of rebates as a percentage of total gross product sales, the contract terms and conditions of the various rebate programs in effect at the time of shipment, and the amount of inventory on hand at the major drug wholesalers with whom the Company does business.  The Company also monitors actual rebates granted and compares them to the estimated provision for rebates to assess the reasonableness of the rebate reserve at each quarterly balance sheet date.

Distribution Service Fees

The Company pays distribution service fees to several of its wholesaler customers related to sales of its Impax Products.  The wholesalers are generally obligated to provide the Company with periodic outbound sales information as well as inventory levels of the Company’s Impax Products held in their warehouses.  Additionally, the wholesalers have agreed to manage the variability of their purchases and inventory levels within specified days on hand limits.  An accrued provision for distribution service fees is recognized at the time products are shipped to wholesalers.

Returns

The Company allows its customers to return product if approved by authorized personnel in writing or by telephone with the lot number and expiration date accompanying any request and if such products are returned within six months prior to or until twelve months following, the products’ expiration date.  The Company estimates and recognizes an accrued provision for product returns as a percentage of gross sales based upon historical experience.  The product return reserve is estimated using a historical lag period, which is the time between when the product is sold and when it is ultimately returned and estimated return rates which may be adjusted based on various assumptions including changes to internal policies and procedures, changes in business practices, and commercial terms with customers, competitive position of each product, amount of inventory in the wholesaler supply chain, the introduction of new products, and changes in market sales information.  The Company also considers other factors, including significant market changes which may impact future expected returns, and actual product returns.  The Company monitors actual returns on a quarterly basis and may record specific provisions for returns it believes are not covered by historical percentages.

Shelf-Stock Adjustments

Based upon competitive market conditions, the Company may reduce the selling price of certain Global Division products.  The Company may issue a credit against the sales amount to a customer based upon their remaining inventory of the product in question, provided the customer agrees to continue to make future purchases of product from the Company.  This type of customer credit is referred to as a shelf-stock adjustment, which is the difference between the original selling price and the revised lower sales price, multiplied by an estimate of the number of product units on hand at a given date. Decreases in selling prices are discretionary decisions made by the Company in response to market conditions, including estimated launch dates of competing products and declines in market price.  The Company records an estimate for shelf-stock adjustments in the period it agrees to grant such a credit memo to a customer.

Medicaid and Other Government Pricing Programs

As required by law, the Company provides a rebate on drugs dispensed under the Medicaid program, Medicare Part D, TRICARE, and other U.S. government pricing programs. The Company determines its estimated government rebate accrual primarily based on historical experience of claims submitted by the various states and other jurisdictions and any new information regarding changes in the various programs which may impact the Company’s estimate of government rebates. In determining the appropriate accrual amount, the Company considers historical payment rates and processing lag for outstanding claims and payments. The Company records estimates for government rebates as a deduction from gross sales, with corresponding adjustment to accrued liabilities.

Cash Discounts

The Company offers cash discounts to its customers, generally 2% of the gross selling price, as an incentive for paying within invoice terms, which generally range from 30 to 90 days. An estimate of cash discounts is recorded in the same period when revenue is recognized.

Rx Partner and OTC Partner:

The Rx Partner and OTC Partner contracts include revenue recognized under alliance and collaboration agreements between the Company and unrelated third-party pharmaceutical companies. The Company has entered into these alliance agreements to develop marketing and/or distribution relationships with its partners to fully leverage its technology platform.

The Rx Partners and OTC Partners alliance agreements obligate the Company to deliver multiple goods and/or services over extended periods. Such deliverables include manufactured pharmaceutical products, exclusive and semi-exclusive marketing rights, distribution licenses, and research and development services. In exchange for these deliverables, the Company receives payments from its agreement partners for product shipments and research and development services, and may also receive other payments including royalty, profit sharing, upfront, and periodic milestone payments. Revenue received from the alliance agreement partners for product shipments under these agreements is not subject to deductions for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other pricing adjustments.  Royalty and profit sharing amounts the Company receives under these agreements are calculated by the respective agreement partner, with such royalty and profit share amounts generally based upon estimates of net product sales or gross profit which include estimates of deductions for chargebacks, rebates, product returns, and other adjustments the alliance agreement partners may negotiate with their respective customers.  The Company records the alliance agreement partner's adjustments to such estimated amounts in the period the agreement partner reports the amounts to the Company.

The Company applies the updated guidance of ASC 605-25 “Multiple Element Arrangements” to the Strategic Alliance Agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals Curacao N.V., a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (“Teva Agreement”).  The Company looks to the underlying delivery of goods and/or services which give rise to the payment of consideration under the Teva Agreement to determine the appropriate revenue recognition.  The Company initially defers consideration received as a result of research and development-related activities performed under the Teva Agreement.  The Company recognizes deferred revenue on a straight-line basis over the Company’s expected period of performance of such services. Consideration received as a result of the manufacture and delivery of products under the Teva Agreement is recognized at the time title and risk of loss passes to the customer which is generally when product is received by Teva.  The Company recognizes profit share revenue in the period earned.

OTC Partner revenue is related to an agreement with Pfizer Inc. (formerly Wyeth) with respect to the supply of over-the-counter pharmaceutical products.  The OTC Partner sales channel is no longer a core area of the business, and the over-the-counter pharmaceutical products the Company sells through this sales channel are older products which are only sold to Pfizer, and which are currently sold at a loss.  The manufacturing of the over-the-counter pharmaceutical products is the Company’s only continuing obligation under this agreement with Pfizer.  In order to avoid deferring the losses incurred upon shipment of these products to Pfizer, Inc., the Company recognizes revenue, and the associated manufacturing costs, at the time title and risk of loss passes to Pfizer which is generally when the product is shipped.  The Company recognizes profit share revenue in the period earned.

Research Partner:

The Research Partner contracts include revenue recognized under development agreements with unrelated third-party pharmaceutical companies.  The development agreements generally obligate the Company to provide research and development services over multiple periods.  In exchange for this service, the Company received upfront payments upon signing of each development agreement and is eligible to receive contingent milestone payments, based upon the achievement of contractually specified events.  Additionally, the Company may also receive royalty payments from the sale, if any, of a successfully developed and commercialized product under one of these development agreements.  The Company recognizes revenue received from the provision of research and development services, including the upfront payment and the milestone payments received before January 1, 2011 on a straight line basis over the expected period of performance of the research and development services.  The Company recognizes revenue received from the achievement of contingent research and development milestones after January 1, 2011 in the period such payment is earned.  Royalty fee income, if any, will be recognized by the Company in the period when the revenue is earned.

Promotional Partner:

The Promotional Partner contract includes revenue recognized under a promotional services agreement with an unrelated third-party pharmaceutical company.  The promotional services agreement obligated the Company to provide physician detailing sales calls services to promote certain of the unrelated third-party company’s branded drug products.  The Company received service fee revenue in exchange for providing this service.  The Company recognized revenue from providing physician detailing sales calls services as the services were provided. The Company’s obligation to provide physician detailing sales calls under the promotional services agreement ended on June 30, 2012.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

Shipping and handling fees related to sales transactions are recorded as selling expense.

In December 2011, the FASB issued its updated guidance on balance sheet offsetting. This new standard provides guidance to determine when offsetting in the balance sheet is appropriate. The guidance is designed to enhance disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments.  The goal is to provide users of the financial statements the ability to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity's statement of financial position. This guidance will only impact the disclosures within an entity's financial statements and notes to the financial statements and does not result in a change to the accounting treatment of financial instruments and derivative instruments. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance on foreign currency matters. The update applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The Company is required to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2014 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Investment [Text Block]
4. INVESTMENTS

Investments consist of commercial paper, corporate bonds and government sponsored enterprise obligations.  The Company’s policy is to invest in only high quality “AAA-rated” or investment-grade securities.  Investments in debt securities are accounted for as ‘held-to-maturity’ and are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, generally based upon observable market values of similar securities.  The Company has historically held all investments in debt securities until maturity, and has the ability and intent to continue to do so.  All of the Company’s investments have remaining contractual maturities of less than 12 months and are classified as short-term.  Upon maturity, the Company uses a specific identification method.

A summary of short-term investments as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had a $102,049,000 receivable in connection with the settlement of litigation under the June 2010 settlement and license agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The receivable was collected in April 2013. For more information, see “Note 12 – Alliance and Collaboration Agreements.”

Note 6 - Inventory
Inventory Disclosure [Text Block]
6. INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, and the cost flow assumption is first in, first out (“FIFO”) flow of goods.  Standard costs are revised annually, and significant variances between actual costs and standard costs are apportioned to inventory and cost of goods sold based upon inventory turnover.  Costs include materials, labor, quality control, and production overhead. Inventory is adjusted for short-dated, unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.  If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, additional inventory write-downs may be required.  Consistent with industry practice, the Company may build pre-launch inventories of certain products which are pending required approval from the FDA and/or resolution of patent infringement litigation, when, in the Company’s assessment, such action is appropriate to increase the commercial opportunity and FDA approval is expected in the near term and/or the litigation will be resolved in the Company’s favor.  The Company accounts for all costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) as a current period charge in accordance with GAAP.

Inventory, net of carrying value reserves at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted of the following:

Less: Non-current inventory
    7,770       7,081  
Total inventory-current
  $ 82,090     $ 89,764  

Inventory carrying value reserves were $28,035,000 and $5,231,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company decided to discontinue the manufacture and distribution of certain unprofitable products after the Company conducted a strategic review of its currently manufactured generic product portfolio. As a result of this decision, the Company recorded an inventory reserve of $6.7 million related to the discontinued products. In addition, upon receipt of the Complete Response Letter for RYTARY™, the Company evaluated the impact of the expected delay of FDA approval on its ability to sell the associated inventory. The Company determined that a reserve of $5.0 million was appropriate and recorded this amount in the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The Company also recorded a $6.4 million reserve for pre-launch inventory of a product manufactured for another third-party pharmaceutical company, due to the anticipated delayed launch of such product as a result of the warning letter related to our Hayward, California manufacturing facility. The carrying value of unapproved inventory less reserves, was $6,212,000 and $12,106,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company recognizes pre-launch inventories at the lower of its cost or the expected net selling price. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates actual cost, and assumes a FIFO flow of goods. Costs of unapproved products are the same as approved products and include materials, labor, quality control, and production overhead.  When the Company concludes that FDA approval is expected within approximately six months for a drug product candidate, the Company may begin to schedule manufacturing process validation studies as required by the FDA to demonstrate the production process can be scaled up to manufacture commercial batches. Consistent with industry practice, the Company may build quantities of unapproved product inventory pending final FDA approval and/or resolution of patent infringement litigation, when, in the Company’s assessment, such action is appropriate to increase its commercial product opportunity, and FDA approval is expected in the near term, and/or the litigation will be resolved in the Company’s favor.  The capitalization of unapproved pre-launch inventory involves risks, including, among other items, FDA approval may not occur; approvals may require additional or different testing and/or specifications than used for unapproved inventory, and in cases where the unapproved inventory is for a product subject to litigation, the litigation may not be resolved or settled in the Company’s favor.  If any of these risks materialize and the launch of the unapproved product inventory is delayed or prevented, then the net carrying value of unapproved inventory may be partially or fully reserved. Generally, the selling price of a generic pharmaceutical product is at discount from the corresponding brand product selling price. Typically, a generic drug is easily substituted for the corresponding brand product, and once a generic product is approved, the pre-launch inventory is typically sold within the next three months. If the market prices become lower than the product inventory carrying costs, then the pre-launch inventory value is reduced to such lower market value. If the inventory produced exceeds the estimated market acceptance of the generic product and becomes short-dated, a carrying value reserve will be recorded. In all cases, the carrying value of the Company's pre-launch product inventory is lower than the respective estimated net selling prices.

To the extent inventory is not scheduled to be utilized in the manufacturing process and/or sold within twelve months of the balance sheet date, it is included as a component of other non-current assets.  Amounts classified as non-current inventory consist of raw materials, net of valuation reserves.  Raw materials generally have a shelf life of approximately three to five years, while finished goods generally have a shelf life of approximately two years.

8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill was $27,574,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the Company attributes the entire carrying amount of goodwill to the Global Division.  Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances have occurred which could have a material adverse effect on the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, and thus indicate a potential impairment of the goodwill carrying value.  The Company concluded the carrying value of goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2012.

Note 10 - Income Taxes
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]
10. INCOME TAXES

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with FASB ASC Topics 270 and 740.   At the end of each interim period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual United States domestic and foreign jurisdictions’ expected effective tax rates and applies these rates to its respective year-to-date taxable income or loss. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rates at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in the United States, and the various state and local tax jurisdictions, as well as tax jurisdictions outside the United States, along with permanent differences, and the likelihood of deferred tax asset utilization. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired or additional information is obtained. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate includes modifications, which were projected for the year, for share-based compensation and federal and state research and development credits, among others.  In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates, or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the respective change occurs.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized an aggregate consolidated tax provision of $48,278,000 for United States domestic and foreign income taxes.  In the three month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized an aggregate consolidated tax provision of $6,269,000 for United States domestic and foreign income taxes.  The increase in the tax provision resulted from higher consolidated income before taxes in the three month period ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate of 31% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was lower than the effective tax rate of 34% for the prior year period primarily as a result of recording the estimated 2012 federal research and development credit, which was enacted retroactively in January 2013, in the three month period ended March 31, 2013, as well as the partial year 2013 estimated federal research and development credit recorded in the three month period ended March 31, 2013, which was not available for the same period last year due to the expiration of the credit.

Note 11 - Revolving Line of Credit
Line Of Credit Facilities [Text Block]
11. REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a Credit Agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as a lender and as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”).  The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a revolving line of credit in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).  Under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $10,000,000 is available for letters of credit, the outstanding face amounts of which reduce availability under the Revolving Credit Facility on a dollar for dollar basis.  Proceeds under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, general corporate and other lawful purposes.  The Company has not yet borrowed any amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company’s borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the personal property assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent.  As further security, the Company also pledged to the Administrative Agent, 65% of the Company’s equity interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary Impax Laboratories (Taiwan), Inc., all of the Company’s equity interests in its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and must similarly pledge all or a portion of its equity interest in future subsidiaries. Under the Credit Agreement, among other things:

 
·
The outstanding principal amount of all revolving credit loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable on the maturity date, which will occur four years following the February 11, 2011 closing date.

 
·
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either an Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time ranging from 0.5% to 1.5%, or a LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin in effect from time to time ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%.  The Company is also required to pay an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.45% per annum based on the daily average undrawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility.  The applicable margin described above and the unused commitment fee in effect at any given time will be determined based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which is based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt, net of unrestricted cash in excess of $100 million, compared to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the immediately preceding four quarters.

 
·
The Company may prepay any outstanding loan under the Revolving Credit Facility without premium or penalty.

 
·
The Company is required under the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement to comply with a number of affirmative, negative and financial covenants.  Among other things, these covenants (i) require the Company to provide periodic reports, notices of material events and information regarding collateral, (ii) restrict the Company’s ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens on assets, undergo fundamental changes, change the nature of its business, make investments, undertake acquisitions, sell assets, make restricted payments (including the ability to pay dividends and repurchase stock) or engage in affiliate transactions, and (iii) require the Company to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (which is, generally, total funded debt, net of unrestricted cash in excess of $100 million, over EBITDA for the preceding four quarters) of less than 3.75 to 1.00, a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (which is, generally, total senior secured debt over EBITDA for the preceding four quarters) of less than 2.50 to 1.00 and a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (which is, generally, EBITDA for the preceding four quarters over the sum of cash interest expense, cash tax payments, scheduled funded debt payments and capital expenditures during such four quarter period, subject to certain specified exceptions) of at least 2.00 to 1.00 (with each such ratio as more particularly defined as set forth in the Credit Agreement).  As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the various covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement.

 
·
The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default (subject to customary grace periods, cure rights and materiality thresholds), including, among others, failure to pay principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross-default and cross-acceleration of material indebtedness and other obligations, certain bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain judgments, certain events related to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and a change of control.

 
·
Following an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Agreement and seek other remedies that may be taken by secured creditors.

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, unused line fees incurred under the Credit Agreement were $30,000 and $32,000, respectively.

Note 12 - Alliance and Collaboration Agreements
Collaborative Arrangement Disclosure [Text Block]
12. ALLIANCE AND COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into several alliance, collaboration, license and distribution agreements, and similar agreements with respect to certain of its products and services, with unrelated third-party pharmaceutical companies.  The  consolidated statement of operations includes revenue recognized under agreements the Company has entered into to develop marketing and/or distribution relationships with its partners to fully leverage its technology platform, revenue recognized under development agreements which generally obligate the Company to provide research and development services over multiple periods, and revenue recognized under a promotional services agreement which obligates the Company to provide physician detailing sales calls services to promote its promotional partner’s branded drug products over multiple periods.

The Company’s alliance and collaboration agreements often include milestones and provide for milestone payments upon achievement of these milestones. Generally, the milestone events contained in the Company’s alliance and collaboration agreements coincide with the progression of the Company’s products and technologies from pre-commercialization to commercialization.

The Company groups pre-commercialization milestones in its alliance and collaboration agreements into clinical and regulatory categories, each of which may include the following types of events:

Clinical Milestone Events:

 
·
Designation of a development candidate.  Following the designation of a development candidate, generally, IND-enabling animal studies for a new development candidate take 12 to 18 months to complete.

 
·
Initiation of a Phase I clinical trial.  Generally, Phase I clinical trials take one to two years to complete.

 
·
Initiation or completion of a Phase II clinical trial.  Generally, Phase II clinical trials take one to three years to complete.

 
·
Initiation or completion of a Phase III clinical trial.  Generally, Phase III clinical trials take two to four years to complete.

 
·
Completion of a bioequivalence study.  Generally, bioequivalence studies take three months to one year to complete.

Regulatory Milestone Events:

 
·
Filing or acceptance of regulatory applications for marketing approval such as a New Drug Application in the United States or Marketing Authorization Application in Europe.  Generally, it takes six to twelve months to prepare and submit regulatory filings and approximately two months for a regulatory filing to be accepted for substantive review.

 
·
Marketing approval in a major market, such as the United States or Europe. Generally it takes one to three years after an application is submitted to obtain approval from the applicable regulatory agency.

 
·
Marketing approval in a major market, such as the United States or Europe for a new indication of an already-approved product.  Generally it takes one to three years after an application for a new indication is submitted to obtain approval from the applicable regulatory agency.

Commercialization milestones in the Company’s alliance and collaboration agreements may include the following types of events:

 
·
First commercial sale in a particular market, such as in the United States or Europe.

 
·
Product sales in excess of a pre-specified threshold, such as annual sales exceeding $100 million.  The amount of time to achieve this type of milestone depends on several factors including but not limited to the dollar amount of the threshold, the pricing of the product and the pace at which customers begin using the product.

License and Distribution Agreement with Shire

In January 2006, the Company entered into a License and Distribution Agreement with an affiliate of Shire Laboratories, Inc. (“Prior Shire Agreement”), under which the Company received a non-exclusive license to market and sell an authorized generic of Shire’s Adderall XR® product (“AG Product”) subject to certain conditions, but in any event by no later than January 1, 2010.  The Company commenced sales of the AG Product in October 2009.  On February 7, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated License and Distribution Agreement with Shire (the “Amended and Restated Shire Agreement”), which amended and restated the Prior Shire Agreement.  The Amended and Restated Shire Agreement was entered into by the parties in connection with the settlement of the Company’s litigation with Shire relating to Shire’s supply of the AG Product to the Company under the Prior Shire Agreement. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company received a payment in the amount of $48,000,000 from Shire in connection with such litigation settlement, which was recorded as other income on the consolidated statement of operations.  For more information about the litigation with Shire, see “Note 17 - Legal and Regulatory Matters.”  The Amended and Restated Shire Agreement provides for Shire to supply the AG Product and for the Company to market and sell the AG Product subject to the terms and conditions thereof until the earlier of (i) the first commercial sale of the Company’s generic equivalent product to Adderall XR® and (ii) September 30, 2014 (the “Supply Term”), subject to certain continuing obligations of the parties upon expiration or early termination of the Supply Term, including Shire’s obligation to deliver AG Products still owed to the Company as of the end of the Supply Term.  The Company is required to pay a profit share to Shire on sales of the AG Product, of which the Company owed a profit share payable to Shire of $5,640,000 and $25,348,000 on sales of the AG Product during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, with a corresponding charge included in the cost of revenues line on the consolidated statement of operations.

Development, Supply and Distribution Agreement with TOLMAR, Inc.

In June 2012, the Company entered into the Tolmar Agreement with Tolmar.  Under the terms of the Tolmar Agreement, Tolmar granted to the Company an exclusive license to commercialize up to 11 generic topical prescription drug products, including nine currently approved products and two products pending approval at the FDA, in the United States and its territories.  Under the terms of the Tolmar Agreement, Tolmar is responsible for developing and manufacturing the products, and the Company is responsible for marketing and sale of the products.  The Company is required to pay a profit share to Tolmar on sales of each product commercialized pursuant to the terms of the Tolmar Agreement.  The Company paid Tolmar a $21,000,000 up-front payment upon signing of the agreement and a $1,000,000 milestone payment in the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company has the potential to pay up to $24,000,000 in additional contingent milestone payments if certain commercialization and regulatory events occur.  The up-front payment for the Tolmar product rights has been allocated to the underlying topical products based upon the relative fair value of each product and is being amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of each underlying product, ranging from five to 12 years, starting upon commencement of commercialization activities by the Company during the second half of 2012.  The amortization of the Tolmar product rights is included as a component of cost of revenues on the consolidated statement of operations.  The Company initially allocated $1,550,000 of the up-front payment to two products which are still in development and recorded such amount as in-process research and development expense in its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company similarly recorded the $1,000,000 milestone paid in the year ended December 31, 2012 as a research and development expense. Contingent milestone payments will be initially recognized in the period the triggering event occurs.  Milestone payments which are contingent upon commercialization events will be accounted for as an additional cost of acquiring the product license rights.  Milestone payments that are contingent upon regulatory approval events will be capitalized and amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of the approved product.

Strategic Alliance Agreement with Teva

The Company entered into a Strategic Alliance Agreement with Teva in June 2001 (“Teva Agreement”). The Teva Agreement commits the Company to develop and manufacture, and Teva to distribute, a specified number of controlled release generic pharmaceutical products (“generic products”), each for a 10-year period.  The Company identified the following deliverables under the Teva Agreement: (i) the manufacture and delivery of generic products; (ii) the provision of research and development activities (including regulatory services) related to each product; and (iii) market exclusivity associated with the products.  In July 2010, the Teva Agreement was amended to terminate the provisions of the Teva Agreement with respect to the Omeprazole (generic to Prilosec®) 10mg, 20mg and 40mg products.  Additionally, in exchange for the return of product rights, the Company agreed to pay to Teva a profit share on future sales of the fexofenadine HCI/pseudoephedrine (generic to Allegra-D®) product, if any, but in no event will such profit share payments exceed an aggregate amount of $3,000,000. The Company recognized previously deferred revenue related to the Teva Agreement of $327,000 in the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. No additional amounts were deferred during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

OTC Partners Alliance Agreement

In June 2002, the Company entered into a Development, License and Supply Agreement with Pfizer Inc. (formerly Wyeth) (the “Pfizer Agreement”), for a term of approximately 15 years, relating to the Company’s Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine Sulfate 5 mg/120 mg 12-hour Extended Release Tablets and Loratadine and Pseudoephedrine Sulfate 10 mg/240 mg 24-hour Extended Release Tablets for the OTC market. The Company previously developed the products, and is currently only responsible for manufacturing the products, and Pfizer is responsible for marketing and sale.  The agreement included payments to the Company upon achievement of development milestones, as well as royalties paid to the Company by Pfizer on its sales of the product.  Pfizer launched this product in May 2003 as Alavert® D-12 Hour. In February 2005, the agreement was partially cancelled with respect to the 24-hour Extended Release Product due to lower than planned sales volume.  The Pfizer Agreement is no longer a core area of the Company’s business, and the over-the-counter pharmaceutical products the Company sells to Pfizer under the Pfizer Agreement are older products which are only sold to Pfizer, and which are sold at a loss.  In order to avoid deferring the losses incurred upon shipment of these products to Pfizer, the Company recognizes revenue, and the associated manufacturing costs, at the time title and risk of loss passes to Pfizer which is generally when the product is shipped.  The Company recognizes profit share revenue in the period earned. The Company recognized revenue of $271,000 and product manufacturing costs of $459,000 under the Pfizer Agreement in the three month period ended March 31, 2013. The Company deferred revenue of $315,000 and recognized previously deferred revenue of $581,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012, related to the Pfizer Agreement. The Company deferred product manufacturing costs of $495,000 and recognized previously deferred product manufacturing costs of $661,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012, related to the Pfizer Agreement.

Joint Development Agreement with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

In November 2008, the Company and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., formerly Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Valeant”), entered into a Joint Development Agreement and a License and Settlement Agreement (“Joint Development Agreement”). The Joint Development Agreement provides for the Company and Valeant to collaborate in the development of a total of five dermatology products, including four of the Company’s generic products and one branded advanced form of Valeant’s SOLODYN® product.  Under the provisions of the Joint Development Agreement the Company received a $40,000,000 upfront payment, paid by Valeant in December 2008.  The Company has also received an aggregate of $15,000,000 in milestone payments composed of two $5,000,000 milestone payments, paid by Valeant in March 2009 and September 2009, a $2,000,000 milestone payment paid by Valeant in December 2009, and a $3,000,000 milestone payment paid by Valeant in March 2011.  The Company has the potential to receive up to an additional $8,000,000 of contingent regulatory milestone payments each of which the Company believes to be substantive, as well as the potential to receive royalty payments from sales, if any, by Valeant of its advanced form SOLODYN® brand product.  Finally, to the extent the Company commercializes any of its four generic dermatology products covered by the Joint Development Agreement, the Company will pay to Valeant a gross profit share on sales of such products.  The Company began selling one of the four dermatology products during the year ended December 31, 2011. During the three month period ended March 31, 2013, the Company extended the revenue recognition period for the Joint Development Agreement from the previous recognition period ending in November 2013 to December 2014, due to changes in the estimated timing of completion of certain research and development activities. This change was made on a prospective basis, and resulted in a reduced amount of revenue recognized in the three month period ended March 31, 2013, as compared to preceding quarters, and a reduced periodic amount of revenue to be recognized in future periods.

License, Development and Commercialization Agreement & Supply Agreement with Glaxo Group Limited

In December 2010, the Company entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”).  Under the terms of the agreement with GSK, GSK received an exclusive license to develop and commercialize IPX066 (brand name RYTARY™ in the United States) throughout the world, except in the U.S. and Taiwan, and certain follow-on products at the option of GSK.  Under the terms of the agreement, GSK paid an $11,500,000 upfront payment in December 2010, and the Company had the potential to receive up to $169,000,000 of contingent milestone payments.  The upfront payment was recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the Company’s expected period of performance to provide research and development services which ended on December 31, 2012. In April 2013, the Company and GSK announced that they were terminating their collaboration for the development and commercialization of IPX066 outside the United States and Taiwan as a result of delays in the anticipated regulatory approval and launch dates in countries in which GSK has rights to commercialize the product and terminated the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement.  At the end of July 2013, GSK’s right to develop and commercialize IPX066 outside the United States and Taiwan will transfer back to the Company. For more information, refer to “Note 19 – Subsequent Events.”

Distribution, License, Development and Supply Agreement with AstraZeneca UK Limited

In January 2012, the Company entered into the AZ Agreement with AstraZeneca.  Under the terms of the AZ Agreement, AstraZeneca granted to the Company an exclusive license to commercialize the tablet, orally disintegrating tablet and nasal spray formulations of Zomig® (zolmitriptan) products for the treatment of migraine headaches in the United States and in certain U.S. territories, except during an initial transition period when AstraZeneca fulfilled all orders of Zomig® products on the Company’s behalf and AstraZeneca paid to the Company the gross profit on such Zomig® products. The Company is obligated to fulfill certain minimum requirements with respect to the promotion of currently approved Zomig® products as well as other dosage strengths of such products approved by the FDA in the future.  The Company may, but has no obligation to, develop and commercialize additional products containing zolmitriptan and additional indications for Zomig®, subject to certain restrictions as set forth in the AZ Agreement. The Company will be responsible for conducting clinical studies and preparing regulatory filings related to the development of any such additional products and would bear all related costs.  During the term of the AZ Agreement, AstraZeneca will continue to be the holder of the NDA for existing Zomig® products, as well as any future dosage strengths thereof approved by the FDA, and will be responsible for certain regulatory and quality-related activities for such Zomig® products. AstraZeneca will manufacture and supply Zomig® products to the Company and the Company will purchase its requirements of Zomig® products from AstraZeneca until a date determined in the AZ Agreement. Thereafter, AstraZeneca may terminate its supply obligations upon certain advance notice to the Company, in which case the Company would have the right to manufacture or have manufactured its own requirements for the applicable Zomig® product.

Under the terms of the AZ Agreement, AstraZeneca was required to make payments to the Company representing 100% of the gross profit on sales of AstraZeneca-labeled Zomig® products during the specified transition period.  The Company received transition payments from AstraZeneca aggregating $43,564,000 during 2012, and accounted for these payments as a reduction of the aggregate $130,000,000 in quarterly payments made to AstraZeneca during 2012.  The Company allocated $45,096,000 of the $86,436,000 net payments made to AstraZeneca to an intangible asset, and the remaining $41,340,000 to prepaid royalty expense related to sales of Impax-labeled Zomig® products during 2012, with such royalty expense included in cost of revenues on the consolidated statement of operations.  Beginning in January 2013, the Company is obligated to pay AstraZeneca tiered royalties on net sales of Zomig® products, depending on brand exclusivity and subject to customary reductions and other terms and conditions set forth in the AZ Agreement.  The Company is also obligated to pay AstraZeneca royalties after a certain specified date based on gross profit from sales of authorized generic versions of the Zomig products subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the AZ Agreement.

Development and Co-Promotion Agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In June 2010, the Company and Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Endo") entered into a Development and Co-Promotion Agreement (“Endo Agreement”) under which the Company and Endo have agreed to collaborate in the development and commercialization of a next-generation advanced form of the Company’s lead brand product candidate ("Endo Agreement Product").  Under the provisions of the Endo Agreement, in June 2010, Endo paid to the Company a $10,000,000 up-front payment.  The Company has the potential to receive up to an additional $30,000,000 of contingent milestone payments, which includes $15,000,000 contingent upon the achievement of clinical events, $5,000,000 contingent upon the achievement of regulatory events, and $10,000,000 contingent upon the achievement of commercialization events.  The Company believes all milestones under the Endo Agreement are substantive.  Upon commercialization of the Endo Agreement Product in the United States, Endo will have the right to co-promote such product to non-neurologists, which will require the Company to pay Endo a co-promotion service fee of up to 100% of the gross profits attributable to prescriptions for the Endo Agreement Product which are written by the non-neurologists.

The Company is recognizing the $10,000,000 upfront payment as revenue on a straight-line basis over a period of 91 months, which is the estimated expected period of performance of research and development activities under the Endo Agreement, commencing with the June 2010 effective date of the Endo Agreement and ending in December 2017, the estimated date of FDA approval of the Company's NDA.  The FDA approval of the Endo Agreement Product NDA represents the end of the Company’s expected period of performance, as the Company will have no further contractual obligation to perform research and development activities under the Endo Agreement, and therefore the earnings process will be completed. Deferred revenue is recorded as a liability captioned “Deferred revenue” on the consolidated balance sheet and deferred revenue under the Endo Agreement was $6,264,000 as of March 31, 2013.  Revenue recognized under the Endo Agreement is reported in the line item captioned Research Partner. The Company determined the straight-line method aligns revenue recognition with performance as the level of research and development activities performed under the Endo Agreement are expected to be performed on a ratable basis over the Company’s estimated expected period of performance.  Upon FDA approval of the Company’s Endo Agreement Product NDA, the Company will have the right (but not the obligation) to begin manufacture and sale of such product. The Company will sell its manufactured branded product to customers in the ordinary course of business through its Impax Pharmaceuticals Division. The Company will account for any sale of the product covered by the Endo Agreement as current period revenue. The co-promotion service fee paid to Endo, as described above, if any, will be accounted for as a current period selling expense as incurred.

The Company and Endo also entered into a Settlement and License Agreement in June 2010 (the “Endo Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which Endo agreed to make a payment to the Company should Prescription Sales of Opana® ER (as defined in the Endo Settlement Agreement) fall below a predetermined contractual threshold in the quarter immediately prior to the Company launching a generic version of Opana® ER. As a result of the Company’s launch of its generic version of Opana ER in January 2013 and Endo’s Prescription Sales of Opana ER during the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a $102,049,000 settlement gain during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 which is included in “Other Income” in the consolidated statement of operations.   Payment of the $102,049,000 settlement was received from Endo in April 2013.

Co-Promotion Agreement with Pfizer

In March 2010, the Company and Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) entered into the First Amendment to the Co-Promotion Agreement (originally entered into with Wyeth, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer) ("Pfizer Co-Promotion Agreement").  The Company’s obligation to provide physician detailing sales calls under the Pfizer Co-Promotion Agreement ended on June 30, 2012.  Prior to such time, the Company had received a fixed fee, effective January 1, 2010, for providing such physician detailing sales calls within a contractually defined range of an aggregate number of physician detailing sales calls rendered, determined on a quarterly basis.  The Company recognized the physician detailing sales force fee revenue as the related services were performed and the performance obligations were met.  The Company recognized $3,535,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2012 under the Pfizer Co-Promotion Agreement, which is included in the line item “Other Revenues” in “Note 18 - Supplementary Financial Information.”  As the Company’s obligation under the Pfizer Co-Promotion Agreement ended on June 30, 2012, no amounts were recognized under this agreement during the three month period ended March 31, 2013.

13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recognizes the grant date fair value of each stock option and restricted stock award over its vesting period.  Stock options and restricted stock awards are granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (“2002 Plan”) and generally vest over a three or four year period and have a term of ten years.  Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Options exercisable at March 31, 2013
    3,028,925     $ 11.43  

The Company estimated the fair value of each stock option award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, wherein: expected volatility is based solely on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected term of the stock options.  The expected term calculation is based on the “simplified” method described in SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment and SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payment, as the result of the simplified method provides a reasonable estimate in comparison to the Company’s actual experience.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield at the date of grant for an instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the stock options.  The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock, and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.

A summary of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock awards activity during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 is presented below:

The Company grants restricted stock awards to certain eligible employees and directors as a component of its long-term incentive compensation program.  The restricted stock award grants are made in accordance with the Company’s 2002 Plan, and typically specify that the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock awards are not issued until they vest.  The restricted stock awards generally vest ratably over a three or four year period from the date of grant.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had total unrecognized share-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, of $38,799,000 related to all of its share-based awards, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.17 years.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company estimated 3,503,300 stock options and 1,695,900 shares of restricted stock awards granted to employees which were vested or expected to vest.  The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $2,933,000 and $6,266,000, respectively.  The total fair value of restricted stock awards which vested during the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $613,000 and $435,000, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 1,164,834 shares of common stock available for issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, and/or stock appreciation rights.

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to its certificate of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares, $0.01 par value per share, “blank check” preferred stock, which enables the Board of Directors, from time to time, to create one or more new series of preferred stock.  Each series of preferred stock issued can have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions designated by the Board of Directors.  The issuance of any new series of preferred stock could affect, among other things, the dividend, voting, and liquidation rights of the Company’s common stock. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not issue any preferred stock.

Common Stock

The Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company to issue 90,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.01 par value.

Note 16 - Segment Information
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]
16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable segments, the Global Division and the Impax Division.   The Global Division develops, manufactures, sells, and distributes generic pharmaceutical products, primarily through the following sales channels: the Global Products sales channel for sales of generic prescription products directly to wholesalers, large retail drug chains, and others; the Private Label Product sales channel for generic over-the-counter and prescription products sold to unrelated third-party customers who, in-turn, sell the products under their own label; the Rx Partner sales channel for generic prescription products sold through unrelated third-party pharmaceutical entities under their own label pursuant to alliance agreements; and the OTC Partner sales channel for over-the-counter products sold through an unrelated third-party pharmaceutical entity under its own label pursuant to an alliance agreement.  Revenues from the “Global Products” sales channel and the “Private Label” sales channel are reported under the caption “Global Product sales, net” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.” The Company also generates revenue in its Global Division from research and development services provided under a joint development agreement with another unrelated third-party pharmaceutical company, and reports such revenue under the caption “Other Revenues” revenue in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.”  Revenues from the “OTC Partner” sales channel are also reported under the caption “Other Revenues” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.”

The Impax Division is engaged in the development of proprietary brand pharmaceutical products that the Company believes represent improvements to already-approved pharmaceutical products addressing CNS disorders. The Impax Division currently has one internally developed late stage branded pharmaceutical product candidate, RYTARY™, an extended release capsule formulation of carbidopa-levodopa for the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease, for which the NDA was accepted for filing by the FDA in February 2012 and which the Company received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA in January 2013. The Company is currently working with the FDA on the appropriate next steps for the RYTARY™ NDA. In addition to RYTARY™, the Impax Division has a number of other product candidates that are in varying stages of development. The Impax Division is also engaged in the sale and distribution of Zomig® (zolmitriptan) products, indicated for the treatment of migraine headaches, under the terms of the AZ Agreement with AstraZeneca in the United States and in certain U.S. territories. Revenues from Impax-labeled Zomig® products are reported under the caption “Impax Product sales, net” in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.” Finally, the Company generates revenue in the Impax Division from research and development services provided under a development and license agreement with another unrelated third-party pharmaceutical company, and reports such revenue under the caption “Other Revenues” revenue in “Note 18 – Supplementary Financial Information.”

The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segments based upon segment income (loss) before income taxes.  Items below income (loss) from operations are not reported by segment, except litigation settlements, since they are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.  Additionally, general and administrative expenses, certain selling expenses, certain litigation settlements, and non-operating income and expenses are included in “Corporate and Other.”  The Company does not report balance sheet information by segment since it is not reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The accounting policies for the Company’s segments are the same as those described above in the discussion of "Revenue Recognition" and in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company has no inter-segment revenue.

The tables below present segment information reconciled to total Company consolidated financial results, with segment operating income or loss including gross profit less direct research and development expenses, and direct selling expenses as well as any litigation settlements, to the extent specifically identified by segment:

Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block]
17. LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Patent Litigation

There is substantial litigation in the pharmaceutical, biological, and biotechnology industries with respect to the manufacture, use, and sale of new products which are the subject of conflicting patent and intellectual property claims. One or more patents typically cover most of the brand name controlled release products for which the Company is developing generic versions.

Under federal law, when a drug developer files an ANDA for a generic drug seeking approval before expiration of a patent, which has been listed with the FDA as covering the brand name product, the developer must certify its product will not infringe the listed patent(s) and/or the listed patent is invalid or unenforceable (commonly referred to as a “Paragraph IV” certification). Notices of such certification must be provided to the patent holder, who may file a suit for patent infringement within 45 days of the patent holder’s receipt of such notice. If the patent holder files suit within the 45 day period, the FDA can review and approve the ANDA, but is prevented from granting final marketing approval of the product until a final judgment in the action has been rendered in favor of the generic drug developer, or 30 months from the date the notice was received, whichever is sooner. Lawsuits have been filed against the Company in connection with the Company’s Paragraph IV certifications seeking an order delaying the approval of the Company’s ANDA until expiration of the patent(s) at issue in the litigation.

Should a patent holder commence a lawsuit with respect to an alleged patent infringement by the Company, the uncertainties inherent in patent litigation make the outcome of such litigation difficult to predict. The delay in obtaining FDA approval to market the Company’s product candidates as a result of litigation, as well as the expense of such litigation, whether or not the Company is ultimately successful, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patent litigation will be resolved prior to the end of the 30-month period. As a result, even if the FDA were to approve a product upon expiration of the 30-month period, the Company may elect to not commence marketing the product if patent litigation is still pending.

The Company is generally responsible for all of the patent litigation fees and costs associated with current and future products not covered by its alliance and collaboration agreements. The Company has agreed to share legal expenses with respect to third-party and Company products under the terms of certain of the alliance and collaboration agreements. For instance, under the Teva Agreement, the Company and Teva have agreed to share in fees and costs related to patent infringement litigation associated with the products covered by the Teva Agreement and the Company is currently sharing litigation costs with respect to three products under the terms of two other separate agreements. The Company records the costs of patent litigation as expense in the period when incurred for products it has developed, as well as for products which are the subject of an alliance or collaboration agreement with a third-party.

Although the outcome and costs of the asserted and unasserted claims is difficult to predict, the Company does not expect the ultimate liability, if any, for such matters to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Patent Infringement Litigation

Eurand, Inc., et al. v. Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Cyclobenzaprine)

In January 2009, Eurand, Inc., Cephalon, Inc., and Anesta AG (collectively, “Cephalon”) filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (“District Court”), alleging patent infringement for the filing of the Company’s ANDA relating to Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride Extended Release Capsules, 15 mg and 30 mg, generic to Amrix®. This matter was settled and dismissed on October 11, 2010.

On November 8, 2011, the District Court expressly named the Company in an order enjoining it from engaging in the commercial use, offer for sale, or sale within the United States of any generic Amrix®. On November 22, 2011, the Company filed a motion to reargue and modify the injunction. Plaintiffs responded on December 9, 2011, with a motion for declaratory judgment, seeking a declaration that the Company does not have the right to sell generic Amrix®. The Company responded on December 20, 2011, and moved to enforce the terms of a settlement agreement entered into with plaintiffs that it claims grants the Company the right to sell generic Amrix®. On March 15, 2012, the District Court denied the Company’s motion and refused to modify the injunction. The Company appealed the order. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision to enjoin the Company on February 1, 2013.  On April 4, 2013, the District Court granted a stipulated injunction against the Company prohibiting it from making, using, offering to sell, or selling the cyclobenzaprine ANDA products in the United States or importing such products into the United States except as permitted under the terms of the parties’ settlement agreement.

The Research Foundation of State University of New York et al. v. Impax Laboratories, Inc.; Galderma Laboratories Inc., et al. v. Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Doxycycline Monohydrate)

In September 2009, The Research Foundation of State University of New York; New York University; Galderma Laboratories Inc.; and Galderma Laboratories, L.P. (collectively, “Galderma”) filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging patent infringement for the filing of the Company’s ANDA relating to Doxycycline Monohydrate Delayed-Release Capsules, 40 mg, generic to Oracea®. In May 2011, Galderma Laboratories Inc., Galderma Laboratories, L.P. and Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. filed a second lawsuit in Delaware alleging infringement of an additional patent related to Oracea®. The Company filed an answer and counterclaims in both matters. In October 2009 for the first lawsuit and in July 2011 for the second lawsuit, the parties agreed to be bound by the final judgment concerning infringement, validity and enforceability of the patents at issue in an earlier-filed case brought by Galderma and Supernus against another generic drug manufacturer. Proceedings in the lawsuits involving the Company were stayed pending resolution of the related matter. In July 2011, a four-day trial was held in the case involving the other generic manufacturer in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on the issues of patent infringement and validity. In August 2011, the Court issued its decision finding four of the five patents invalid and/or not infringed, and the fifth patent, which expires in December 2027, infringed and not invalid. After proceedings related to the remedy, on June 8, 2012, the Court entered final judgment with respect to that litigation. On June 22, 2012, the Court entered its final judgment with respect to the Company. All parties filed notices of appeal and/or cross-appeal in July 2012. The briefing at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was completed for all parties on January 28, 2013.  The decision of the District Court will be binding on the Company unless reversed or modified on appeal or in subsequent litigation.

Schering Corporation, et al. v. Impax Laboratories, Inc. (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin)

In August 2010, Schering Corporation and MSP Singapore Company LLC (together, “Schering”) filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (“District Court”) alleging patent infringement for the filing of the Company’s ANDA relating to Ezetimibe/Simvastatin Tablets, 10/80 mg, generic to Vytorin®. The Company filed an answer and counterclaim. In December 2010, the parties agreed to be bound by the final judgment concerning validity and enforceability of the patents at issue in cases brought by Schering against other generic drug manufacturers that have filed ANDAs relating to this product, and proceedings in the Company’s case were stayed. In April 2012, the District Court issued a decision, finding the latest-expiring patent (U.S. Patent No. RE 42,461) to be valid and enforceable. The District Court's decision was subsequently affirmed by the Federal Circuit on appeal on February 7, 2013, and the mandate issued on April 18, 2013. The parties thereafter entered into a stipulated judgment, and the case was dismissed.

Shire LLC, et al. v. Impax Laboratories, Inc., et al. (Guanfacine)

The Company filed an answer and counterclaims. The trial court issued a claim construction ruling on April 11, 2012. In November 2012, the Company and Takeda filed cross motions for summary judgment regarding infringement and validity of the patents at issue.

On May 2, 2012, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning its investigation into the drug SOLODYN® and its generic equivalents. According to the FTC, the investigation is to determine whether Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.), the Company, and six other companies have engaged or are engaged in unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce by (i) entering into agreements regarding SOLODYN® or its generic equivalents and/or (ii) engaging in other conduct regarding the sale or marketing of SOLODYN® or its generic equivalents.

Securities and Derivative Class Actions

On March 7, 2013 and April 8, 2013, two class action complaints were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors of the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California by Denis Mulligan, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, and Haverhill Retirement System, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, respectively, (“Securities Class Actions”) alleging that the Company and those named officers and directors violated the federal securities law by making materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts to the public in connection with manufacturing deficiencies at the Hayward, California manufacturing facility, including but not limited to the impact the deficiencies would have on the Company’s ability to gain approval from the FDA for the Company’s branded product candidate, RYTARY™ and generic product Concerta. These two Securities Class Actions have subsequently been assigned to the same judge. On March 19, 2013, Virender Singh, derivatively on behalf of the Company, filed a state court action against certain current and former officers and board of directors for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment in the Superior Court of the State of California County of Santa Clara, asserting similar allegations as those in the Securities Class Actions. That action has been stayed pending resolution of the class action suit.  In addition, the Company is aware of a letter from a stockholder demanding action by the Company’s board of directors to: (i) undertake an independent internal investigation into management’s alleged violations of Delaware and/or federal law; and (ii) commence a civil action against members of management to recover damages sustained as a result of alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.   The letter further states that if such action is not commenced within a reasonable period of time, the stockholder will commence a shareholder’s derivative action on behalf of the Company.

In April 2013, the Company and GlaxoSmithKline plc (“GSK”) announced that they were terminating their collaboration for the development and commercialization of IPX066 outside the United States and Taiwan and terminated the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement.  Under the terms of the agreement entered into in December 2010, GSK’s right to develop and commercialize IPX066 outside the United States and Taiwan will transfer back to Impax, effective at the end of July 2013.  The decision was reached due to delays in the anticipated regulatory approval and launch dates in countries in which GSK has rights to commercialize the product.
