This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included or incorporated by reference in this report,Report, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places, including, but not limited to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements represent our reasonable judgment of the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “project” and other words of similar meaning. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following:

our projected operating or financial results, including anticipated cash flows used in operations;

our expectations regarding capital expenditures, research and development expenseexpenses and other payments;

our expectation about the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) on our business;
our beliefs and assumptions relating to our liquidity position, including our ability to obtain additional financing;

our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our pharmaceutical drugs and diagnostics; and

our future dependence on third party manufacturers or strategic partners to manufacture any of our pharmaceutical drugs and diagnostics that receive regulatory approval, and our ability to identify strategic partners and enter into license, co-development, collaboration or similar arrangements.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known orand unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, among others:but not limited to, the risks described in Part II, Item 1.A Risk factors, as well as “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 15, 2022.

the loss of key management personnel or sponsored research partners on whom we depend;

the progress and results of clinical trials for our product candidates;

our ability to navigate the regulatory approval process in the U.S. and other countries, and our success in obtaining required regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

commercial developments for products that compete with our product candidates;

the actual and perceived effectiveness of our product candidates, and how those product candidates compare to competitive products;

the strength of our intellectual property protection, and our success in avoiding infringing the intellectual property rights of others;

adverse developments in our research and development activities;

potential liability if our product candidates cause illness, injury or death, or adverse publicity from any such events;

our ability to operate our business efficiently, manage capital expenditures and costs (including general and administrative expenses) and obtain financing when required;

our expectations with respect to our acquisition activity.

In addition, there may be other factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements, some of which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report, on Form 10-Q, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Fixed AssetsNotes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs, clinical trial costs; and facilities and other costs. These costs relate to research and development costs without an allocation of general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

·Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
·Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
·Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Significant Accounting Policies

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible note payable approximated fair value as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 dueCompany’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the relatively short maturityfinancial statements in Item 8 of the respective instruments.2022 Form 10-K.

The warrant derivative liability recorded as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 is recorded at an estimated fair value based on a Black-Scholes pricing model. The warrant derivative liability is a level 3 fair value measurement with the entire change in the balance recorded through earnings. See significant assumptions in Note 8. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial instruments classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Standard.  The following standard was adopted during the three months ended September 30, 2022:

In January 2016,August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,2020-06, FinancialDebt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments – Overall:Recognition and MeasurementContracts in an Entity’s Own Equity). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of Financial Assetsaccounting models for convertible debt instruments and Financial Liabilities,convertible preferred stock, which addresses certain aspectsresults in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 affects the diluted earnings per share calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of recognition, measurement, presentation,convertible instruments and disclosure of financial instruments.contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2016-01 will be2020-06 allows entities to use a modified or full retrospective transition method. The Company adopted this standard using the full retrospective transition method effective for us starting on July 1, 2018, and early2022. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Standard Required to be Adopted in Future Periods. The following accounting standard is not permitted. We are currently evaluatingyet effective; management has not completed its evaluation to determine the impact that theadoption of this standard will have on ourthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.ASU 2016-02,2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This update adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses. In November 2019, ASU 2016-13 was amended by ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on whereby the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Thiseffective date for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies is effectivenow required for annual reporting periodsfiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and2022, including interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. We will be required to adopt ASU 2016-02 starting on July 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09.Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.fiscal years. The update will affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 for public entities. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted the ASU starting on July 1, 2017 and there is a minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-9.Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.The update includes guidance on what changes to share-based payment awards would require modification accounting and is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2017. We expect to adopt the ASU 2017-9 on July 1, 2018. We doCompany does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the new provisionsFASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not currently expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3 Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanyingCompany’s financial statements the Company has a net loss of $12,403,200 and net cash used in operations of $8,052,651 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, working deficit of $1,087,141 and stockholders’ equity of $3,801,798 and an accumulated deficit of $76,725,162 at December 31, 2017.  In addition, theupon adoption.

NOTE 2 — LIQUIDITY

The Company is in the clinical stage and has not yet generated any revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company expects that its current cash resources as well as expected lack of operating cash flows will not be sufficient to sustain operations for a period greater than one year. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include continuing to raise capital through equity or debt based financings. There can be no assurances that such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 8 Stock-Based Compensation

The Company had granted 3,295,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and no additional grants as of December 31, 2017. The options have an exercise price from $1.29 to $3.44 per share. The options vest monthly over four years, with some options subject to a one year cliff before options begin to vest monthly.

On February 23, 2015, the Company adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2015 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 6,850,000 of common stock in the form of stock options. The Company had granted 4,487,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of June 30, 2017 and no additional grants as of December 31, 2017. The options have an exercise price of from $1.00 to $2.06 per share. The options vest monthly over 4 years with some options subject to a one year cliff before options begin to vest monthly.

On October 31, 2016, the Board adopted the AntriaBio, Inc. 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan which allows the Company to issue up to 35,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of stock options. The 2016 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan was amended on August 21, 2017 to reduce the number of shares to be issued to 15,000,000 shares of common stock in the form of stock options. The Board had issued options to purchase 28,995,000 of these shares to current employees and directors as of June 30, 2017, of which 4,360,000 were cancelled before their terms were established and 11,090,000 were additionally cancelled by the Board during the year ended June 30, 2017. The Company had 1,550,000 of the cancelled stock options that had begun vesting prior to the cancellation and with the cancellation the Company recorded $1,199,847 of unrecognized stock compensation expense. The Company had granted 255,000 of these shares to current employees and directors of the Company as of December 31, 2017. The options have an exercise price from $1.00 to $1.20 per share. The options expire no later than ten years from the date of the grant. The options vest on a monthly basis over 48 months, except for 75,000 of the options which do not begin to vest until specific events have occurred and then begin to vest over 48 months and 60,000 of the options that all vest at the end of the consulting contract. Some options are subject to a one year cliff and all options have an exercise price based on the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.

The Company has computed the fair value of all options granted that have begun vesting using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The options that require specific events before they begin to vest are not valued until the specific event has occurred. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to valuation. The Company estimated a volatility factor utilizing comparable published volatility of several peer companies. Due to the small number of option holders, the Company does not calculate a forfeiture rate but simply accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company estimates the expected term based on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securitiesdates. Fair value was computed using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model and will result in the recognition of similar maturity.compensation cost ratably over the expected vesting period of the stock options.

When determining fair value, the Company enteredconsiders the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

Level 2—Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

The Company’s embedded derivative liabilities are classified under Level 3 of the hierarchy and are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a Developmentrecurring basis.

Summary

In June 2017, we filed an IND for AB101 with the FDA and in July 2017, we dosed our first patientor in the Phase 1 first-in-human clinical study (the “Study”). The study is a first-in-human single ascending dose studyassociated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to assessrounding.

Special Note About COVID-19

We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business activities. Our primary objectives have remained the same throughout the pandemic: to support the safety of our team members and tolerability, pharmacokineticstheir families and pharmacodynamics of AB101 in patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. The first part of the study is a sequential cohort dose ranging of AB101continue to support our preclinical studies and there is an optional second study part to compare one or more tested doses of AB101 to Lantus®. In addition to safety and pharmacokinetic assessments, the time-action pharmacology of AB101 (onset, peak, and end of action) is being evaluated using several measures of glycemic response, including the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp technique, continuous glucose monitoring, and background insulin use. In Q4 of calendar year 2017, we completed the first of up to five potential cohorts of the Study and having conducted the interim safety and dose escalation review meeting from that cohort, we plan on proceeding to a higher dose in the second cohort as planned per protocol. However, we will not begin dosing patients in the second cohort until we have raised additional capital. Further, as our clinical study is ongoing and we have not dose escalated beyond the first cohort, we do not anticipate announcing any resultstrials. Currently, with respect to the Study until next year.operation of our facilities, we are closely adhering to applicable guidelines and orders. Essential operations in research and maintenance that occur within our facilities are continuing in accordance with the permissions granted under government ordinances. Across all of our locations, we have instituted a temporary work from home policy for all office personnel who do not need to work on site to maintain productivity. We have recently allowed these employees to voluntarily return to work on site with appropriate health and safety measures.

While our financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 were not significantly impacted by COVID-19, we cannot predict the impact of the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic on future results due to a variety of factors, including the ongoing challenges associated with the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, resurgences in the number and rates of infection, the continued good health of our employees, the ability of us to maintain operations, access to healthcare facilities and patient willingness to participate in our clinical trials, any further government and/or public actions taken in response to the pandemic, and ultimately the length of the pandemic. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, our ability to raise capital, our preclinical studies and clinical trial timeliness remain uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted. Any prolonged material disruption of our employees, suppliers, or manufacturing may negatively impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Recent Developments

Financing Activities

In July 2022, we licensed from ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals,entered into amended securities purchase agreements with Handok, Inc. (“ActiveSiteHandok”) theirand certain of its affiliates (the “2022 Private Placement”), resulting in gross proceeds of $12.3 million in exchange for the issuance of approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock.  We incurred approximately $0.8 million for underwriting commissions and other offering costs, resulting in net proceeds of $11.5 million.

Termination of Loan Agreement

On April 14, 2021, we entered into a $30.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Solar Investment Corp. (“SLR”) as collateral agent, and the parties signing the Loan Agreement from time to time as lenders, including SLR in its capacity as a lender. The scheduled maturity date of the Loan Agreement was on April 1, 2026. In April 2021, we borrowed $15.0 million under the Loan Agreement. On June 30, 2022, we paid off the outstanding loan amount of $15.0 million in full and terminated the Loan Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Summary of Clinical Assets

RZ358

Our lead clinical asset, RZ358, is a potential treatment for congenital hyperinsulinism (“HI”), an ultra-rare pediatric genetic disorder characterized by excessive production of insulin by the pancreas. If untreated, the elevated insulin levels in patients suffering with congenital HI can induce extreme hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) events, increasing the risk of neurological and developmental complications, including persistent feeding problems, learning disabilities, recurrent seizures, brain damage or even death. There are no FDA approved therapies for all forms of congenital HI and the current standard of care treatments are suboptimal. The current treatments used by physicians include glucagon, diazoxide, somatostatin analogues and pancreatectomy.

RZ358 is an intravenously administered human monoclonal antibody that binds to a unique site (allosteric) on the insulin receptor in insulin target tissues, such as in the liver, fat, and muscle. The antibody modifies insulin’s binding and signaling to maintain glucose levels in a normal range which counteracts the effects of elevated insulin in the body. RZ358 shows dose dependent pharmacokinetics with a half-life greater than two weeks which has the potential for semi-monthly dosing. Therefore, we believe that RZ358 is ideally suited as a potential therapy for conditions characterized by excessive insulin levels, and it is being developed to treat hyperinsulinism and low blood sugar. As RZ358 acts downstream from the beta cells, it has the potential to be universally effective at treating congenital HI caused by any of the underlying genetic defects.

A summary of the completed clinical studies for RZ358 is as follows.

A Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (“PK”) study of single intravenous doses of RZ358 at 0.1 to 9 mg/kg in healthy volunteers revealed dose-dependent pharmacokinetics with a half-life of 15 days, supporting the biweekly dosing approach. In healthy volunteers, RZ358 prevented hypoglycemia induced by insulin administration, without producing hyperglycemia. This effect showed a PK-pharmacodynamic (dose—response) correlation, with the hypoglycemia blunting effects of RZ358 lasting for two weeks.

The clinical proof-of-concept of RZ358 in congenital HI was evaluated in a Phase 2a study in a total of 14 patients with congenital HI. The study investigated the PK, pharmacodynamics (“PD”), safety and preliminary efficacy of RZ358. RZ358 was well-tolerated in adult and pediatric patients with congenital HI who received single intravenous doses in the Phase 2a study and the PK results from the Phase 2a studies were consistent with those in healthy volunteers. There was a durable normalization of blood sugar in patients with hypoglycemia, with an approximate 50% improvement and near normalization of glucose control, which was sustained for more than two weeks after dosing. RZ358 did not increase blood sugar levels in patients with normal blood sugar levels at baseline.

In calendar year 2022 we completed the RZ358-606 Phase 2b global clinical study for RZ358 (“RIZE”). The RIZE study was conducted in a repeat-dose fashion to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, dose-exposure response relationship and to assess the glycemic efficacy across a range of continuous glucose monitoring (“CGM”) and blood glucose monitoring-based principle glycemic endpoints to inform Phase 3. In the study, eligible patients received RZ358 in open-label fashion in one of 4, sequentially conducted dosing cohorts of up to 8 participants per cohort. RZ358 was administered as a 30-minute intravenous infusion every other week for eight weeks. The first three cohorts were fixed dosing levels of RZ358 and the fourth cohort was designed to explore whether there were any advantages of a fixed titration approach.

The RIZE study enrolled 23 patients, primarily in a young pediatric population, averaging approximately 6.5 years of age, in a diverse group across gender and genetic cause of congenital HI. A key entry criterion was for patients to have continued hypoglycemia despite available therapies to be eligible for enrollment. We observed that patients enrolled on stable background therapies had clinically significant, and in many cases, substantial residual hypoglycemia as well as some hyperglycemia (> 180 mg/dL) at baseline.

Outcomes from the RIZE study were presented at the Pediatric Endocrine Society meeting on May 1, 2022.  The results from the study showed that target and expected RZ358 concentrations were achieved and dose-exposure dependent responses were also observed. RZ358 was generally safe and well-tolerated and there were no adverse drug reactions, adverse events leading to study discontinuations, or dose-limiting toxicities. Importantly, RZ358 demonstrated an approximately 50% improvement in hypoglycemia across all doses and cohorts and an approximately 75% improvement in hypoglycemia at the 6 mg/kg and 9 mg/kg cohorts. Time in range by CGM improved 8% across all doses, 16% at the top dose, and more significantly (>25%) in patients without baseline hyperglycemia on SOC.

18

We believe that the positive results from the RIZE study will be Phase 3 enabling and accordingly we have initiated interactions with regulatory authorities in the US and Europe. Our objective is to complete the regulatory dialogue prior to the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2023, which would facilitate initiation of a Phase 3 study in the first half of calendar year 2023.

RZ402

Our second clinical asset, RZ402, is an oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor portfolio (“PKI PortfolioPKI”) targetingbeing developed as a potential therapy for the chronic treatment of diabetic macular edema (“DME”). DME is a vascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness in the US and elsewhere. Chronic exposure to high blood sugar levels can lead to inflammation, cell damage, and the breakdown of blood vessel walls. Specifically, in DME, blood vessels behind the back of the eye become porous and permeable leading to the unwanted infiltration of fluid into the macula. This fluid leakage creates distorted vision, and if left untreated, blindness.

Currently available treatments for DME include anti-vascular growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections into the eye or laser surgery. RZ402 is designed to be a once daily oral therapy for the treatment of DME and unlike the anti-VEGF therapies, RZ402 targets the Kallikrein-Kinin System to address inflammation and vascular leakage. We believe that systemic exposure through oral delivery is critical to target the microvasculature behind the back of the eye. Further, as an oral therapy, RZ402 has the potential to substantially change the therapeutic paradigm for patients suffering with DME by providing a convenient, self-administered treatment option to encourage earlier initiation of therapy, adherence to prescribed treatment guidelines, and improved overall outcomes.

Results from our single ascending dose (“SAD”) Phase 1a Study (“RZ402-101”) were reported in May 2021. RZ402-101 was a first-in-human single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SAD study in healthy adult volunteers. The study objectives were to characterize the safety profile and other plasma kallikrein-medicated diseases suchpharmacokinetics of RZ402 administered as hereditary angioedema. ActiveSite has generated proof-of-conceptsingle oral doses. The study enrolled 30 individuals in three planned sequential dose- level cohorts of 25 mg, 100 mg, and 250 mg. Within each ten-subject dose cohort, volunteers were randomized 8:2 to receive either RZ402 oral solution or matched placebo. After receiving single doses, participants remained in the clinic for seven days for serial PK and safety assessments, before completing two outpatient follow-up visits at study days 14 and 30. Dose advancement proceeded following blinded reviews of safety and PK data from the preceding cohort(s).

Single doses of RZ402 resulted in dose-dependent increases in systemic exposure. Plasma concentrations of RZ402 significantly exceeded the 3.5 ng/mL target concentration that was pharmacologically active in animal models of DME for their orally-administered plasmaa 24-hour period after receipt of RZ402. Across the dose and exposure range, there were no serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions, or discontinuations due to adverse events, and no imbalance of adverse events between the treatment and placebo control groups. Similarly, regular laboratory, hemodynamic, cardiac, and ophthalmologic safety examinations were unremarkable.

Following the success of the SAD study, we undertook a follow-on multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) study (“RZ402-102”). Results from the MAD Study were reported in February 2022. RZ402-102 was a single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, in healthy adult volunteers. The objectives of the study were to characterize the repeat dose safety profile (including maximum tolerated dose) and PK of RZ402 administered as daily oral doses for two weeks. The study was conducted in 40 volunteers in sequential ascending dose cohorts with 10 individuals per cohort. Within each cohort, participants were randomized in an 8:2 ratio to receive either RZ402 as an oral solution or a placebo. Participants remained in the clinic throughout the two-week dosing period for serial PK and safety assessments, before completing an outpatient follow-up visit at study day 28. Blood biomarkers of target engagement (kallikrein activity) were explored as a systemic surrogate for DME, using a precedent from studies of kallikrein inhibitors in clinically-relevanta systemic vascular leakage syndrome (hereditary angioedema). Dose advancement proceeded in staggered fashion every three weeks as appropriate, following blinded reviews of data from the preceding cohort(s).

The MAD study showed dose-dependent increases in systemic exposures, with repeat-dosing to steady-state resulting in the highest concentrations of RZ402 explored to date, exceeding 200 ng/mL and 50 ng/mL at peak and 24-hour trough, respectively. Following the precedent established in hereditary angioedema, steady-state plasma kallikrein activity in human plasma was measured on Day 14 as a biomarker of RZ402 target engagement. Daily dosing with RZ402 inhibited plasma kallikrein in a dose and concentration-dependent manner (r=0.74; p < 0.001). Given that the in-vivo EC90 for RZ402 in animal models of macular edema,DME is ~6 ng/mL, the results at both peak and 24-hour trough substantially exceeded target concentrations based on a combination of in-vitro and in-vivo profiling. RZ402 was generally safe and well-tolerated, including at higher doses than previously tested in the SAD study. There were no serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions or identified risks.

We are advancing developmental activities toward a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study, which we are leveraging that dataplan to complete IND-enabling toxicology studies and prepare for human clinical trials.initiate during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.  Dosing of the first patient in a Phase 2 study will trigger a developmental milestone payment of $3.0 million due to ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals.

Factors Impacting our Results of Operations

On December 6, 2017, we completedWe have not generated any meaningful revenues since our inception in March 2010. Over the last phase of our corporate development strategy to create a focused metabolic disease company with multiple indications in which we in-licensed a fully human monoclonal antibody from XOMA LLC that is currently in Phase 2 clinical development targeting a treatment for an ultra-orphan pediatric indication, congenital hyperinsulinism (the “CHI Program”). We believe that the CHI Program is a compelling opportunity given that there is no approved therapy for this devastating childhood disease.

We believe that the CHI Program and the PKI Portfolio complement our endogenous super long acting basal program, AB101, currently in Phase 1 clinical development. We further believe that the combination of these assets creates a potential highly valuable biopharmaceutical enterprise with a compelling investment thesis attractive to institutional investors. While we believe that our prospects are bright, we are currently significantly capital constrained and have elected to conduct a secured, convertible note financing to bridge the Company (the “Debt Financing”) until the Equity Financing is complete. We are seeking to raise $3,000,000 or more in the Debt Financing andseveral years, we have conducted our first for aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 in January of 2018.

We have met with a variety of the largeprivate placements and mid-size health care funds to unveil the Rezolute story as we seekpublic offerings to raise at least $25 million (the “Equity Financing”)additional capital, adopted a licensing model to pursue development of product candidates, conducted pre-clinical and to date, as the funds have begun doing diligenceclinical trials, and conducted other research and development activities on our programspipeline of product candidates.

Due to the time required to conduct clinical trials and prospects,obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we have experienced very favorable receptionanticipate it will be several years before we generate substantial revenues, if ever. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future; therefore, we expect to continue efforts to raise additional capital to maintain our strategy and expanded pipeline. Nonetheless,current operating plans over the next several years. We cannot assure you that we recognizewill secure such financing or that it will take timebe adequate for the long-term execution of our business strategy. Even if we obtain additional financing, it may be costly and may require us to completeagree to covenants or other provisions that will favor new investors over our existing shareholders.

Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations

Research and development expenses. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits for our personnel engaged in R&D activities, clinical trial costs, licensing costs, and consulting and outside services. Our R&D compensation costs include an allocable portion of our cash and share-based compensation, employee benefits, and consulting costs related to personnel engaged in the Equity Financingdesign and development of product candidates and other scientific research projects. We also allocate a portion of our facilities and overhead costs based on the personnel and other resources devoted to R&D activities.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of (i) an allocable portion of our cash and share-based compensation and employee benefits related to personnel engaged in our administrative, finance, accounting, and executive functions, and (ii) an allocable portion of our facilities and overhead costs related to such personnel. G&A expenses also include travel, legal, auditing, consulting, investor relations and other costs primarily related to our status as we do not anticipate closing such a transaction untilpublic company.

Interest and other income. Interest and other income consist primarily of interest income earned on temporary cash investments.

Gain (loss) from change in fair value of derivative liabilities. We recognized liabilities for financial instruments that are required to be accounted for as derivatives, as well as embedded derivatives in our debt agreements. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to fair value at the end of Q1 calendar year 2018each reporting period until the contracts are settled, expire, or early Q2. Further, no assurance can be given that any suchotherwise meet the conditions for equity classification. Changes in fair value are reflected as a gain or loss in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Employee retention credit. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States government has designed programs to assist businesses in dealing with the financial hardships caused by the pandemic. We recognize the right to receive governmental assistance payments in the period in which the related conditions on which they depend are substantially met.

Interest expense. The components of interest expense include the amount of interest payable in cash at the stated interest rate, and accretion of debt discounts and issuance costs (“DDIC”) using the effective interest method. DDIC arises from the issuance of debt instruments and other related contracts or agreements which possess certain terms and conditions resulting in additional financing will be completed or will be timely completed on favorable terms. Currently, we cannot sustain operations withoutcosts arising from origination, exit and final fees, and other incremental and direct costs incurred to consummate the Debt Financing and without the larger Equity Financing we cannot continue to advance all of our current programs.financing.

SignificantCritical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Overview

OurThe discussion herein is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.States. The preparation of thethese unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires managementus to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, andas well as the reported amounts ofrevenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates itsperiods. These items are monitored and analyzed for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates and judgments, including those related tocould occur in the estimated useful lives and impairment of depreciable assets, the fair value of share-based payments and warrants, fair value of derivative instruments,future. We base our estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities and income tax valuation allowances. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance,circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates,

With respect to our significant accounting policies that are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our 2022 Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and judgments used by us in applyingcomplexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical accounting policies have a significant impact onto aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting for Complex Financings

In order to account for complex financing transactions, we are required to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates to determine the results we reportappropriate amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. These financing transactions typically involve entering into several distinct legal agreements, whereby we are required to identify and account for each freestanding financial instrument separately. The freestanding financial instruments may be classified as debt, temporary equity or permanent equity instruments depending on the results of our evaluation. In addition, we evaluate if any of the financial instruments contain embedded features that are required to be accounted for as derivatives at fair value. Each freestanding financial instrument is required to be recognized at fair value on the closing date of the financing. The fair value of warrants is generally determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) valuation model and the fair value of common stock is based on the trading price of our shares on the closing date.

For financial instruments classified as debt, a discount is recognized if the stated principal balance exceeds the initial allocation of fair value as of the closing date. This discount is accreted to interest expense using the interest method that results in recognition of interest expense at a fixed rate through the expected maturity date.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We measure the fair value of services received in exchange for all stock options granted based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. We compute the fair value of stock options with time-based vesting using the BSM option-pricing model and recognize the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award. For awards that contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. We recognize the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for share-based compensation. For stock options that are voluntarily surrendered by employees, all unrecognized compensation is immediately recognized in the period the options are cancelled.

Research and Development

R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets related to in-licensing costs under license agreements with third parties are charged to expense unless we are able to determine that the licensing rights have an alternative future use in other R&D projects or otherwise.

Clinical Trial Accruals

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. We accrue and recognize expenses for clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon estimates of the percentage of work completed over the life of the individual study in accordance with agreements

21

established with clinical research organizations and clinical trial sites. We determine the estimates through discussions with internal clinical personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of trials or services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used or rendered in future R&D activities, are deferred and recognized as expense in the period that the related goods are delivered, or services are performed.

Results of Operations

For Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Results of operationsRevenue. As a clinical stage company, we did not generate any revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2017 (the “2018 quarter”)September 30, 2022 and 2021. We are at an early stage of development and do not currently have any commercial products. Our existing product candidates will require extensive additional clinical evaluation, regulatory review, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before they generate any revenues. We do not expect to be able to generate revenue from any of our product candidates for several years.

Research and development expenses. R&D expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 (the “2017 quarter”) reflectedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

The increase in R&D expenses of $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to compensation and benefits for our R&D workforce that increased by approximately $1.3 million. Approximately $0.6 million of this increase was attributable to an increase in share-based compensation related to stock options granted in June 2022. In addition, cash-based compensation and benefits increased by approximately $0.7 million that was primarily attributable to an increase in the average number of R&D employees from 23 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 33 for the three months ended September 30, 2022.  In addition to the increases in compensation and benefits cost, an increase of $0.5 million was due to higher spending for RZ358 program related costs, primarily for Phase 3 readiness manufacturing costs.

The increase in G&A expenses of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in share-based compensation expense of $0.5 million due to stock options granted to certain executives and employees in June 2022. An additional $0.1 million increase in other G&A was due to facilities and travel expenses as COVID related travel restrictions have diminished.

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income amounted to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, whereas we did not earn any interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to (i) an increase in excess of $100 million in cash balances held in interest bearing accounts, and (ii) an increase in interest rates for such temporary cash investments. The large increase in cash balances was attributable to the completion of equity financings between October 2021 and July 2022.

Employee Retention Credit. We did not generate any employee retention credit income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The income in the prior year was a result of CARES Act benefits. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, governmental assistance was not available under the CARES Act.

Interest Expense. We did not incur any interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the repayment of the Loan Agreement on June 30, 2022, whereas we incurred $0.4 million of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was solely attributable to the Loan Agreement and consisted of (i) interest expense of $0.3 million based on the weighted average contractual rate of 9.0%, and (ii) accretion of discount of $0.1 million.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not recognize any income tax benefit due to our net losses, and our determination that a valuation allowance was required for all of our deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-term Liquidity Requirements

As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $154.3 million and working capital was approximately $153.2 million. We have incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $5,751,000$219.0 million since our inception and $4,888,000, respectively.

Results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017 (the “2018 period”) and the six months ended December 31, 2016 (the “2017 period”) reflected losses of approximately $12,468,000 and $8,704,000, respectively.

Expenses

ResearchOur primary source of liquidity has historically been from the completion of private placements and development costs include salaries, benefits and other staff-related costs; consultants and outside costs; material manufacturing costs; and facilities and other costs. Research and development costs were approximately $3,413,000 in the 2018 quarter compared to $3,075,000 in the 2017 quarter. Research and development costs were approximately $7,723,000 in the 2018 period compared to $5,561,000 in the 2017 period. The main increases are due to the Company continuing to hire staff to manufacture clinical material during the 2018 periodpublic offerings of our equity securities, as well as proceeds from the startissuance of debt securities. For the first clinical trialthree months ended September 30, 2022, as discussed above under the caption Recent Developments, we issued common stock in the 2018 period.

General and administrative costs were approximately $2,338,0002022 Private Placement that resulted in net proceeds of $11.6 million. For the 2018 quarter compared to $1,813,000 in the 2017 quarter.

The main increase is due to an increase in stock compensation expense during the 2018 period as options were granted in the 2016 Stock Option Plan that were not in the 2017 period.

Impact of the U.S. Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) into law. Effective January 1, 2018, among other changes, the Act (a) reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate to 21 percent, provides for a deemed repatriation and taxation at reduced rates on historical earnings (a “transition tax”) of certain non-US subsidiaries owned by U.S. companies and establishes new mechanisms to tax such earnings going forward. The Act has wide ranging implications for the Company. However, the impact on the Company’s financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2017 is immaterial, primarily because the Company has a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the U.S., which results in there being no U.S. deferred tax assets or liabilities recorded on the balance sheet that need to be remeasured at the new 21% rate. The Company will continue to analyze the effects of the Act on its financial statements and operations. Any additional impacts from the enactment of the Act will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as provided for in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2017, we have approximately $0.8 million in cash on hand and working capital deficit of approximately $1.1 million. During thefiscal year ended June 30, 2017,2022, we closedreceived net proceeds from the issuance of equity securities of $165.2 million. The completion of these equity financings is the primary factor that resulted in our cash and cash equivalents balance of $154.3 million as of September 30, 2022. For further information about the key terms and results of our debt and equity financing activities, please refer to the discussion below under the captions 2022 Registered Direct Offering, 2021 Underwritten Public Offering and 2021 Registered Direct Offering.

Our most significant contractual obligations consist of milestone payments pursuant to licensing agreements with XOMA Corporation (“XOMA”) and ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ActiveSite”) discussed below. Based on our expectations for the dates when certain clinical and regulatory milestones will be achieved, we anticipate that $5.0 million will be payable to XOMA and $3.0 million will be payable to ActiveSite within the next twelve months.

Based on our cash and cash equivalents balance of $154.3 million as of September 30, 2022, we believe we have adequate capital resources to meet all of our contractual obligations and conduct all planned activities to advance our clinical trials during through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023.

Long-term Liquidity Requirements

Our most significant long-term contractual obligations consist of clinical and regulatory milestone payments up to $35.0 million payable to XOMA and up to $45.5 million in milestones payable to ActiveSite, for a total of $80.5 million. As discussed above, we expect that $5.0 million will be payable to XOMA and $3.0 million will be payable to ActiveSite during the next twelve months. Accordingly, the remainder of $72.5 million is considered a long-term liquidity requirement. Our current expectations are that we will incur additional milestone payments of $5.0 million payable to XOMA for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Due to uncertainties in the timing associated with clinical trial activities and regulatory approvals, there is even greater uncertainty in forecasting the milestone payments to XOMA and ActiveSite during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 and thereafter.

Our long-term contractual obligations also include (i) operating lease payments up to approximately $0.7 million per year through calendar year 2027, and (ii) an equity transaction in whichexit fee of $0.6 million if we issued units consistingenter into certain transactions (defined as “Exit Events”) prior to April 13, 2031. Exit Events include, but are not limited to, sales of one sharesubstantially all assets, certain mergers, change of control transactions, and issuances of common stock that result in new investors owning more than 35% of the Company’s shares. As discussed above under the caption Recent Developments, on June 30, 2022 we terminated the Loan Agreement with SLR. However, we remain contingently obligated to pay the $0.6 million exit fee.

The following discussion provides additional information about the ongoing requirements pursuant to our license agreements with XOMA and ActiveSite, along with additional information about our recent financing activities that impacted our liquidity and capital resources through September 30, 2022.

XOMA License Agreement

In December 2017, we entered into a warrantlicense agreement (the “XOMA License Agreement”) with XOMA through its wholly-owned subsidiary, XOMA (US) LLC, pursuant to which XOMA granted an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize XOMA 358 (formerly X358, now RZ358) for all indications. In January 2019, the XOMA License Agreement was amended with an updated payment schedule, as well as revised the amount we were required to expend on development of RZ358 and related licensed products, and revised provisions with respect to our diligence efforts in conducting clinical studies.

Upon the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory events, we will be required to make up to $35.0 million in aggregate milestone payments to XOMA. The first such milestone payment of $2.0 million was triggered upon enrollment of the last patient in our ongoing phase 2 clinical study in January 2022. The next milestone payment of $3.0 million will be due upon the enrollment of the first patient in a Phase 3 study, which we believe will occur in the next twelve months. Additionally, upon the future commercialization of RZ358, we will be required to pay royalties to XOMA based on the net sales of the related products, and milestone payments up to an additional $185.0 million if future annual sales related to RZ358 exceed targets ranging from $100.0 million to $1.0 billion. Through September 30, 2022, no events have occurred that would result in the requirement to make additional milestone payments and no royalties have been incurred.

ActiveSite License Agreement

In August 2017, we entered into a Development and License Agreement with ActiveSite (“ActiveSite License Agreement”) pursuant to which we acquired the rights to ActiveSite’s plasma kallikrein inhibitor portfolio (the “PKI Program”). We are planning to use the PKI Program to develop, file, manufacture, market and sell products for diabetic macular edema and other therapeutic indications. The ActiveSite License Agreement requires various milestone payments ranging from $1.0 million to $10.0 million when milestone events occur, up to an aggregate of $46.5 million of aggregate milestone payments. The first milestone payment for $1.0 million paid in December 2020 after completion of the preclinical work and submission of an IND to the FDA for RZ402. The next milestone payment for $5.0 million will be due upon enrollment of the first patient in a Phase 2 study, which we expect to occur within the next 12 months. We will also be required to pay royalties equal to 2.0% of any sales of products that use the PKI Program. Through September 30, 2022, no events have occurred that would result in the requirement to make additional milestone payments and no royalties have been incurred.

2022 Registered Direct Offering

On May 1, 2022, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Jefferies LLC, as representative of the underwriters listed therein, relating to the issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten registered direct offering (the “2022 RDO”). The 2022 RDO resulted in the issuance of (i) approximately 18.0 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $3.80 per share, (ii) Class A pre-funded warrants (the “Class A PFWs”) to purchase either one-half or one share of common stock. During the year ended June 30, 2017, we also closed on an equity transaction in which we issued straightup to 2.0 million shares of common stock. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we had an additional close on an equity transaction in which we issued straightstock at a public offering price of $3.799 per Class A PFW, and (iii) Class B pre-funded warrants (the “Class B PFWs”) to purchase up to 10.9 million shares of common stock.stock at a public offering price of $3.799 per Class B PFW. On May 4, 2022, the 2022 RDO closed resulting in net proceeds of approximately $110.1 million. The gross amount of the 2022 RDO was $117.6 million, before deduction of an aggregate of $7.1 million for underwriting discounts and approximately $0.4 million for professional fees and other offering expenses payable by us. We believe the additional funding from the 2022 RDO along with the funding received in July 2022 from the 2022 Private Placement provides us with sufficient cash to fund a Phase 3 clinical program for RZ358, as well as a Phase 2 proof of concept study for RZ402.

2021 Underwritten Public Offering and Registered Direct Offering

In October 2021, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., as representative of the underwriters listed therein (the “2021 Underwriters”) for the planned issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten public offering (the “2021 Underwritten Offering”). On October 15, 2021, closing occurred for the 2021 Underwritten Offering resulting in the issuance of (i) 6,030,847 shares of common stock at $6.50 per share for gross proceeds of $39.2 million, and (ii) 1,661,461 pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,661,461 shares of common stock at an issuance price of $6.49 per warrant (the “2021 PFWs”) for gross proceeds of $10.8 million. The Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,153,845 shares of its common stock in the 2021 Underwritten Offering at a public offering price of $6.50 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Underwriters’ Option”). In November 2021, the Underwriters’ Option was partially exercised for 116,266 shares resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $0.8 million. The aggregate gross proceeds from the 2021 Underwritten Offering amounted to $50.7 million, excluding the Underwriters’ Option, and before deductions for underwriting commissions of 6.0% of the gross proceeds and other offering costs of approximately $0.3 million. After deducting total offering costs of $3.3 million, the net proceeds of the 2021 Underwritten Offering amounted to approximately $47.2 million.

24

Concurrently with the 2021 Underwritten Offering, Handok, an entity affiliated with a member of the Board of Directors, entered into a subscription agreement for a registered direct offering (the “2021 RDO”) pursuant to which we agreed to sell to the Handok an aggregate of 769,231 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share. The closing for the 2021 RDO occurred on October 27, 2021, whereby we received gross proceeds of $5.0 million.

EDA and LPC Financings

In December 2020, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as sales agent that provided for an “at the market offering” for the sale of up to $50.0 million in shares of our common stock (the “Placement Shares”). For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we sold 138,388 Placement Shares for which aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million were received. In August 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), that provided for issuances up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of shares of our common stock (the “Purchase Shares”). For the three months ended September 30, 2021, LPC purchased 115,708 shares of our common stock and we received net proceeds of approximately $14$1.2 million. In May 2022, we terminated the EDA and the LPC Purchase Agreement whereby no further equity securities are issuable under these agreements.

Loan Agreement

In April 2021, we borrowed $15.0 million under the Loan Agreement discussed above under the caption Recent Developments. Outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement provided for interest at a floating rate equal to (a) 8.75% per annum plus (b) the greater of (i) the rate per annum published by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. for a term of one month and (ii) 0.12% per annum. On June 30, 2022, we paid off the outstanding loan amount of $15.0 million and terminated the Loan Agreement in accordance with its terms. In addition to the repayment of principal and accrued interest, we paid (i) a prepayment fee equal to 2.00% of the outstanding principal balance for a total of $300,000, and (ii) a final fee equal to 4.75% of the aggregate amount of the term loans funded for a total of $712,500. The terminated Loan Agreement was secured by substantially all of our assets. The security interests and liens granted in connection with the terminated Loan Agreement were released on June 30, 2022.

25

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our non-cash expenses of $1.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were primarily attributable to share-based compensation expense, accretion of debt discount and issuance costs, and non-cash lease expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased operating cash flow by $0.3 million, primarily driven by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.4 million, offset by a net decrease of $0.1 million in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net changes in operating assets and liabilities increased operating cash flow by $0.5 million, primarily driven by increased in accounts payable by $0.6 million, partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.1 million.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our net cash utilized in investing activities amounted to $70,000, related to the purchase of furniture and equipment.  We did not have any cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $11.6 million. This amount consisted of proceeds of $12.3 million from the transactions above.2022 Private Placement. The total proceeds from the 2022 Private Placement of $12.3 million were partially offset by payments of $0.8 million for underwriting commissions and other costs related to this offering.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $2.6 million. This amount included (i) $1.5 million of gross proceeds from the EDA and (ii) $1.2 million of gross proceeds from LPC purchase agreement. The Company is currently conducting a convertible notetotal proceeds from equity financing activities amounted to raise $3$2.7 million in which we have closed on $500,000and were partially offset by payments of the note financing. The notes also come with warrants at the time the notes are issued. The Company will continue$0.1 million related to close on the note financing while the Company works to complete an Equity Financing. There are no assurances that anyfinancial advisory fees and other costs of the above financings will be completed or will be completed timely and on favorable terms.

Going Concern

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations in our business. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional financing through either private placements, and/or bank financing or other loans necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Accounting Officer (our principal accountingfinancial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation andassessment under those criteria, our management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to a material weakness in the system of internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.

The material weakness identified by management is primarily that due to our limited number of employees, we have not adequately segregated certain duties to prevent employees from overriding the internal control system. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we implemented a more robust accounting software that is expected to result in stronger controls. In October 2022, we hired additional personnel, which will enable us to better segregate many functions. We cannot provide assurance that these or other measures will eventually result in the elimination of the material weakness described below, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017 in ensuring that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that it is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has identified control deficiencies regarding a lack of segregation of duties, a need for a stronger internal control environment, and minimal review of complex accounting issues. Our management believes that these deficiencies, which in the aggregate constitute a material weakness, are due to the small size of our staff, which makes it challenging to maintain adequate disclosure controls.above.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On May 1, 2022, we entered into a placement agency agreement with Jefferies LLC, that provided for a private placement of equity securities (the “Private Placement”) with Handok, Inc. and certain of its affiliates. The closing for the Private Placement occurred on July 22 and July 26, 2022, whereby we received gross proceeds of approximately $12.3 million in exchange for the issuance of approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.80 per share. The net proceeds from the Private Placement amounted to approximately $11.6 million after deduction of $0.7 million for underwriting commissions. The securities that were sold in the Private Placement were offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
