Form 8-K dated August 6, 2019

Exhibit 99.1
Reconciliations of GAAP Reported to Non-GAAP Adjusted Information, page 12

1.     Your adjustment for upfront and milestone payments does not appear to be
consistent with
       Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations (C&DI) as
       such payments would appear to represent normal, recurring cash operating
expenses.
       Please revise your future filings to remove this adjustment or explain
to us why it does not
       violate the C&DI.
