Commitments and Contingencies	O.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. For the matters referenced below, the liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for any matters in which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, we will provide disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, however, we will provide disclosure to that effect. Makena Securities Litigation During October and November 2011, three complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (the “Court”) against K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) (since renamed as Lumara Health) and certain individual defendants, alleging violations of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws on behalf of all purchasers of the publicly traded securities of KV between February 14, 2011 and April 4, 2011: Julianello v. K-V Pharmaceutical Co., et al. (filed October 19, 2011); Mukku v. K-V Pharmaceutical Co., et al. (filed October 31, 2011), and Cheong v. K-V Pharmaceutical Co., et al. (filed November 2, 2011). On March 8, 2012, the three cases were consolidated and the consolidated action is now styled In Re K-V Pharmaceutical Company Securities Litigation, Case No. 4:11-CV-1816-AGF. On May 4, 2012, the Court appointed Lori Anderson as the Lead Plaintiff in the matter, and an amended complaint was filed on July 24, 2012. The amended complaint alleges class members were damaged by purchasing KV stock at artificially inflated prices due to defendants’ purportedly misleading statements regarding KV’s exclusivity over Makena. On April 22, 2013, the individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint and oral argument was held before the Court on November 26, 2013. KV joined in the motion to dismiss on February 10, 2014. On March 27, 2014, the Court entered an order granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the class action complaint without prejudice to the plaintiff’s ability to file a second amended complaint with respect to a limited issue of whether defendants’ statements about Lumara Health’s financial assistance program for Makena were materially false or misleading. On April 16, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion to reconsider asking the Court to reconsider its order restricting the scope of plaintiff’s ability to amend its complaint. The Court denied plaintiff’s motion to reconsider and entered a judgment granting defendants’ motion to dismiss on June 6, 2014. On July 1, 2014, plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Court of Appeals heard oral argument on March 12, 2015 and the parties are awaiting a decision from the Court. In accordance with the Sixth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization for K-V Discovery Solutions and Its Affiliated Debtors, which became effective on September 16, 2013, the recovery in this matter, if any, is limited to the “extent of any insurance and/or any proceeds therefrom (excluding any self-insured retention obligation or deductible) that may provide coverage for any liability of Lumara Health for the claims asserted in this litigation”. European Patent Organization Appeal In July 2010, Sandoz GmbH (“Sandoz”) filed with the European Patent Office (the “EPO”) an opposition to a previously issued patent which covers ferumoxytol in EU jurisdictions. In October 2012, at an oral hearing, the Opposition Division of the EPO revoked this patent. In December 2012, our notice of appeal of that decision was recorded with the EPO, which also suspended the revocation of our patent. On May 13, 2013, we filed a statement of grounds of appeal and on September 27, 2013, Sandoz filed a response to that statement. We filed a reply to that response on March 17, 2014 and oral proceedings for the appeal is scheduled for June 16, 2015. In the event that we withdraw our appeal or that we do not experience a successful outcome from the appeals process, under EU regulations ferumoxytol would still be entitled to eight years of data protection and ten years of market exclusivity from the date of approval, which we believe would create barriers to entry for any generic version of ferumoxytol into the EU market until sometime between 2020 and 2022. This decision had no impact on our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014. However, any future unfavorable outcome in this matter could negatively affect the magnitude and timing of future revenues. We do not expect to incur any related liability regardless of the outcome of the appeal and therefore have not recorded any liability as of March 31, 2015. We continue to believe the patent is valid and intend to vigorously appeal the decision. We may periodically become subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with ongoing business activities, including claims or disputes related to patents that have been issued or that are pending in the field of research on which we are focused. Other than the above actions, we are not aware of any material claims against us at March 31, 2015. We expense legal costs as they are incurred.
