● | the success of the ongoing commercialization of UKONIQ and potential commercialization of any future products, including the anticipated rate and degree of market acceptance and pricing and reimbursement; |
● | the timing of and our ability to complete regulatory submissions for our product candidates and additional indications for UKONIQ, and acceptance and review of those submissions by regulatory authorities, including those in the U.S. and in additional geographies; |
● | our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates, including ublituximab in combination with UKONIQ in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and ublituximab in relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS); |
● | the initiation, timing, progress and results of our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, including, without limitation, UNITY-CLL Phase 3 clinical trial, ULTIMATE I and II Phase 3 clinical trials, UNITY-NHL Phase 2b clinical trial, and ULTRA-V Phase 3 clinical trial; |

SUMMARY RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. The risks described below are a summary of the principal risks associated with an investment in us and are not the only risks we face. You should carefully consider these risks, the risk factors in Item IA, and the other reports and documents that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Risks Related to Commercialization
● | We have limited experience as a commercial company, and the marketing and sale of UKONIQ or any future approved products may be less successful than anticipated or unsuccessful. |
● | The COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures to control it have impacted our sales and marketing efforts for UKONIQ and could have an adverse impact on our commercial launch of ublituximab, if approved. |
● | If UKONIQ or any future approved product does not achieve broad market acceptance among physicians, patients, payors, and the medical community, the revenues that we generate from product sales will be limited. |
● | If the market opportunities for UKONIQ and future approved products are smaller than we estimate or if any approval that we obtain is based on a narrower patient population, our revenue will be adversely affected. |
● | We face substantial competition for treatments for our target indications, which may result in others commercializing drugs before or more successfully than we do, resulting in the reduction or elimination of our commercial opportunity. |
● | If we are unable to establish additional commercial capabilities and infrastructure, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to sustain our business. |
● | Product liability lawsuits could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any of our products. |
Risks Related to our Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital
● | We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. |
● | We will need to raise substantial additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we will be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some of our drug development programs or commercialization efforts. |
● | Our level of indebtedness and debt service obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and may make it more difficult for us to fund our operations. |
Risks Related to Drug Development and Regulatory Approval
● | If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates and ultimately cannot commercialize one or more of them, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed. No assurance can be given that the U2 combination will be approved for any indication, including without limitation, treatment naïve and/or relapsed/refractory CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) or that ublituximab will be approved for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. In addition, our business will also be materially harmed if we are unable to maintain approval of any products for which we receive approval, including UKONIQ, which received accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with marginal zone lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Continued approval for these indications is contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. |
● | Our products and product candidates may cause undesirable side effects that could delay or prevent their regulatory approval or significantly limit their commercial profile following marketing approval, if any. |
● | Because results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, any product candidate we advance may not have favorable results in later clinical trials. Moreover, interim, “top-line,” and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish may change, or the perceived product profile may be impacted, as more patient data or additional endpoints are analyzed. |
● | Any product candidates we may advance through clinical development are subject to extensive regulation, which can be costly and time consuming, cause unanticipated delays, or prevent the receipt of the required approvals. Although we have received orphan drug designation for UKONIQ and for some of our drug candidates for specified indications and may seek additional orphan drug designations, we may be unsuccessful in obtaining or maintaining the benefits associated with orphan drug status. |
4
Risks Related to Governmental Regulation of the Pharmaceutical Industry
● | We are subject to extensive regulation, including new legislation, regulatory proposals and third-party payor initiatives, that may increase our costs of compliance and adversely affect our ability to market our products, obtain collaborators and raise capital. |
● | If we fail to comply with various healthcare laws and regulations, we may incur losses or be subject to liability. |
● | If we fail to comply with regulatory requirements, any product for which we obtain marketing approval could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market and we may be subject to penalties. |
Risks Related to our Dependence on Third Parties
● | If the third parties on which we rely to conduct our clinical trials and generate clinical, preclinical and other data necessary to support our regulatory applications do not perform their services as required, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates when expected or at all. |
● | Our reliance on third parties for commercial and clinical supply of our products and product candidates increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our products or product candidates or such quantities at an acceptable cost or quality, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts. |
● | Because we have in-licensed our products and product candidates from third parties, any dispute with or non-performance by our licensors will adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize the applicable product. |
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
● | Our success depends upon our ability to obtain and protect our intellectual property, and if the scope of our patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be impaired. |
● | Our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with various procedural and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies. |
● | We may need to license certain intellectual property from third parties, and such licenses may not be available or may not be available on commercially reasonable terms. |
● | If we or our partners are sued for infringing intellectual property rights of third parties, it will be costly and time consuming, and an unfavorable outcome in that litigation would have a material adverse effect on our business. |
● | If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position may be harmed. |
Risks Related to COVID-19
● | Public health issues, and specifically the pandemic caused by COVID-19, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations and other aspects of our business. |
General Risks Related to Our Business Organization and Governance, Strategy, Employees and Growth Management
● | We will need to develop and expand our business, and we may encounter difficulties in managing this development and expansion. |
● | Our ability to continue our clinical development and commercialization activities will depend on our ability to attract and maintain key management and other personnel. |
● | Certain of our executive officers, directors and other stockholders own more than 10% of our outstanding common stock and may be able to influence our management and the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval. |
● | Certain anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could make a third-party acquisition more difficult, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay for our common stock. |
● | Our stock price is, and we expect it to remain, volatile, which could limit investors’ ability to sell stock at a profit and could subject us to securities and shareholder derivative litigation. |
The foregoing is only a summary of some of our risks. These and other risks are discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item IA and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (our Risk Factors).

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business
TG Therapeutics is a fully integrated, commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. In addition to an active research pipeline including five investigational medicines across these therapeutic areas, UKONIQ received accelerated approval from the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory MZL who have received at least one prior anti-CD20-based regimen and adult patients with relapsed or refractory FL who have received at least three prior lines of systemic therapies. Currently, we have three programs in Phase 3 development for the treatment of patients with RMS and patients with CLL and several investigational medicines in Phase 1 clinical development. We also actively evaluate complementary products, technologies and companies for in-licensing, partnership, acquisition and/or investment opportunities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they may not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Nevertheless, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying condensed December 31, 2020 balance sheet has been derived from these statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other interim period.
In December 2018, the Company created an Australian corporation, TG Therapeutics AUS Pty Ltd. (TG AUS), as a wholly-owned subsidiary. This corporation’s functional currency, the Australian dollar, is also its reporting currency, and its financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars, the Company’s reporting currency, prior to consolidation. The activities of TG AUS result in immaterial currency translation adjustments and, thus, are included in Other Income/Expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of September 30, 2021, we have an accumulated deficit of $
Our major sources of cash have been proceeds from private placements and public offerings of equity securities. In February of 2021, umbralisib, now referred to as UKONIQ, was granted accelerated approval in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory MZL who have received at least one prior anti-CD20 based regimen and adult patients with relapsed or refractory FL who have received at least three prior lines of systemic therapy. Commercial sales of UKONIQ commenced in the first quarter of 2021. We have generated limited revenues to date from product sales. Even with the commercialization of UKONIQ and the potential future commercialization of our other drug candidates, we may not meet revenue guidance or become profitable. Our ability to achieve profitability depends on many factors, including our ability to generate revenue, our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our drug candidates, our ability to successfully complete any post-approval regulatory obligations and our ability to successfully commercialize
11
our drug candidates. We may continue to incur substantial operating losses even as we begin to generate revenues from our drug candidates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as it relates to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, inventory, cost of product revenue, and the adoption of new accounting standards during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as discussed below.
Revenue Recognition
Pursuant to Topic 606, we recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, Topic 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes i) identifying the contract with a customer, ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, iii) determining the transaction price, iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and v) recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.
At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct and determine those that are performance obligations. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Product Revenue, Net – The Company recognizes product revenues, net of variable consideration related to certain allowances and accruals, when the customer takes control of the product, which is typically upon delivery to the customer. Product revenue is recorded at the net sales price, or transaction price. The Company records product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, to account for the components of variable consideration. Variable consideration includes the following components, which are described below: chargebacks, government rebates, trade discounts and allowances, product returns, and co-payment assistance.
These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is expected to be settled with a credit against the Company's customer account) or a liability (if the amount is expected to be settled with a cash payment). The Company's estimates of reserves established for variable consideration are calculated based upon a consistent application of the expected value method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. These estimates reflect the Company's current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be subject to constraint and is included in net product revenues only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration received may ultimately differ from the Company's estimates. If actual results vary, the Company adjusts these estimates, which could have an effect on earnings in the period of adjustment.
12
Chargebacks and Administrative Fees: Chargebacks for discounts represent the Company's estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell product to qualified healthcare providers and government agencies at prices lower than the list prices charged to the customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. The customers charge the Company for the difference between what the customers pay the Company for the product and the customers’ ultimate contractually committed or government required lower selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. As part of the Company's contractual commitments to sell product to qualified healthcare providers, the Company pays fees for administrative services, such as account management and data reporting.
Government Rebates: Government rebates consist of Medicare, Tricare, and Medicaid rebates. These reserves are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized. For Medicare, the Company also estimates the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom it will owe a rebate under the Medicare Part D program.
GPO and Payor Rebates: the Company contracts with various private payor organizations and group purchasing organizations (GPO), primarily insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers and clinics, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of our product. The Company estimates these rebates and records such estimates in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability.
Trade Discounts and Allowances: The Company provides its customers with discounts that are explicitly stated in the contracts and are recorded in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, the Company also receives sales order management, inventory management, and data services from its customers in exchange for certain fees.
Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited right of return for product that has been purchased from the Company. The Company estimates the amount of its product sales that may be returned by its customers and records this estimate in the period the related product revenue is recognized. The Company currently estimates product return liabilities based on data from similar products and other qualitative considerations, such as visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company’s return policy allows for eligible returns of UKONIQ for credit under the following circumstances:
● | receipt of damaged product; |
● | shipment errors that were a result of an error by the Company; |
● | expired product that is returned during the period beginning three months prior to the product’s expiration and ending six months after the expiration date; |
● | product subject to a recall; and |
● | product that the Company, at its sole discretion, has specified can be returned for credit. |
As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not received any returns.
Co-Payment Assistance Programs: Co-payment assistance is provided to qualified patients, whereby the Company may provide financial assistance to patients with prescription drug co-payments required by the patient's insurance provider. Reserves for co-payment assistance are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized.
Accounts Receivable
In general, accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers, net of customer allowances for cash discounts, product returns and chargebacks. Our contracts with customers have standard payment terms. We analyze accounts that are past due for collectability, and regularly evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers so that we can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profiles. As of September 30, 2021, we determined an allowance for
13
expected credit losses related to outstanding accounts receivable was currently not required based upon our review of contractual payment terms and individual customer circumstances.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue consists primarily of materials and third-party manufacturing costs, as well as freight and royalties owed to our licensing partner for UKONIQ sales. Based on our policy to expense costs associated with the manufacture of our products prior to regulatory approval, the manufacturing costs of UKONIQ units recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were expensed prior to receipt of FDA approval on February 5, 2021, and therefore are not included in costs of product revenue during the current period.
Inventory
Prior to regulatory approval, we expense costs relating to the production of inventory as research and development expense in the period incurred. Following regulatory approval, costs to manufacture those approved products will be capitalized. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value with cost based on the first-in-first-out method. Inventory that can be used in either the production of clinical or commercial products is expensed as research and development costs when identified for use in clinical trials.
Prior to the approval of UKONIQ, all manufacturing and other potential costs related to the commercial launch of UKONIQ were expensed to research and development expense in the period incurred.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share of our common stock is calculated by dividing net loss applicable to the common stock by the weighted-average number of our common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock since potentially dilutive securities from stock options, stock warrants and convertible preferred stock would have an antidilutive effect either because we incurred a net loss during the period presented or because such potentially dilutive securities were out of the money and should the Company realize net income during the period presented. The cumulative amounts of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation were
The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No 2019-12, Income Taxes
(Topic 740): Simplifying Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocations, calculating income taxes in interim periods, and adds certain guidance to remove complexity in certain areas. ASU 2019-12 is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of either the entire standard or only those provisions that eliminate or modify requirements is permitted. Adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have any impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
14
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 of today’s goodwill impairment test) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on today’s Step 1). The standard has tiered effective dates, starting in 2020 for calendar-year public business entities PBEs that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after 1 January 2017. Adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have any impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards with future effective dates are either not applicable or not significant to our consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 REVENUE RECOGNITION
Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments
To date, our only source of product revenue has been from the U.S. sales of UKONIQ, which we began shipping to our customers in February 2021. We record our best estimate of sales discounts and allowances to which customers are likely to be entitled. The reconciliation of gross product sales to net product sales by each significant category of gross-to-net adjustments was as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021:
