All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our anticipated future clinical and regulatory events, future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are generally written in the future tense and/or are preceded by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “could,” “expect,” “suggest,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” or similar words, or the negatives of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: our anticipated future cash position; the planned expanded commercialization of our products and the potential future commercialization of our product candidates; our planned product candidate development strategy; our anticipated future cash position; our plan to acquire additional assets;strategy and research and development expenses; our anticipated future growth rates; anticipated sales increases; anticipated net revenue increases; amounts of certain future expenses and costs of goods sold; our plan to acquire additional assets anticipated increases to operating expenses, research and development expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses; and future events under our current and potential future collaborations.

These risks are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

1. Nature of Business, Financial Condition, Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business.Aytu BioPharma, Inc. (“Aytu”, the “Company” or “we”), is a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel therapeutics and consumer healthcare products.health products and developing therapeutics for rare pediatric-onset or difficult-to-treat diseases. The Company currently operates through two business segments (i) the Aytu BioPharma business,segment, consisting of the prescription pharmaceutical products (the “Rx Portfolio”), and Aytu(ii) the Consumer Health segment, which consists of various consumer healthcare products business (the “Consumer Health Portfolio”). The Rx Portfolio is focused on commercializing prescription pharmaceutical productsCompany also has two product candidates in development, AR101 (enzastaurin) for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD"vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (“VEDS”), allergies, insomnia, and various pediatric conditions. The Aytu consumer health business is focused on commercializing consumer healthcare products.Healight (endotracheal ultraviolet light catheter) for the treatment of severe, difficult-to-treat respiratory infections. The Company was incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on August 9, 2002 in the State of Colorado and was re-incorporated as Aytu BioScience, Inc in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2015.

Following the acquisition of Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Neos”) in March 2021, the Company changed its name to Aytu BioPharma, Inc.

The Rx Portfolio primarily consists of (i) Adzenys XR-ODT (amphetamine) extended-release orally disintegrating tablets and Cotempla XR-ODT (methylphenidate) extended-release orally disintegrating tablets and Adzenys-ER (amphetamine) extended-release oral suspension for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”), (ii) Poly-Vi-Flor and Tri-Vi-Flor, two complementary prescription fluoride-based supplement product lines containing combinations of fluoride and vitamins in various formulations for infants and children with fluoride deficiency, and (iii) Karbinal ER, an extended-release antihistamine suspension containing carbinoxamine (antihistamine) suspension indicated to treat numerous allergic conditions, (iv) ZolpiMist, the only FDA-approved oral spray prescription sleep aid, (v) Tuzistra XR, the only FDA-approved 12-hour codeine-based antitussive syrup and (vi) a generic Tussionex (hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine) (“generic Tussionex”), extended-release oral suspension for the treatment of cough and upper respiratory symptoms of a cold.

conditions.

The Consumer Health Portfolio consists of over twenty20 consumer health products competing in large healthcare categories, including diabetes men'smanagement, pain management, digestive health, sexual wellness and respiratoryurological health and general wellness, commercialized through direct-to-consumer and e-commerce marketing channels utilizing the Company's proprietary Beyond Human marketing and sales platform and on e-commerce platforms.

On March 31, 2021, the Company and Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus”) entered into a termination and transition agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the License and Supply Agreement previously entered into on July 29, 2019 related to Natesto®. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company ceased all sales, marketing and promotion of Natesto, and Acerus agreed to pay the Company an aggregate amount of $7.5 million, payable in equal monthly installment payments of $250,000 for a period of 30 consecutive months. 

On March 19, 2021, the Company acquired Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Neos”), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company developing and manufacturing central nervous system-focused products (the “Neos Merger”). Neos commercializes Adzenys XR-ODT, Cotempla XR-ODT and Adzenys-ER in the United States using Neos’ internal commercial organization. These commercial products are extended-release (“XR”) medications in patient-friendly, orally disintegrating tablet (“ODT”) or oral suspension dosage forms that utilize Neos' microparticle modified-release drug delivery technology platform. Neos received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for these three products. In addition, Neos manufactures and sells a generic Tussionex.

In April of 2020, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to secure worldwide rights to various potential esophageal and nasopharyngeal uses of Healight, an investigational medical device platform technology. Healight has demonstrated safety and efficacy in a proof-of-concept clinical study in SARS-CoV-2 patients, and the Company plans to advance this technology to further assess its safety and efficacy in additional randomized, controlled human studies, initially focused on SARS-CoV-2 patients.

channels.

The Company’s strategy is to continue building its portfolio of revenue-generating products, leveraging its commercial team’s expertise to build leading brands within large therapeutic markets.markets, while also developing a therapeutic pipeline focused on rare pediatric-onset conditions and difficult-to-treat diseases.

Financial Condition.As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had approximately $46.8$27.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.equivalents. The Company’s operations have historically consumed cash and are expected to continue to consume cash.

Revenues for the three- and nine-months ended March 31, 2021 were $13.5 The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $53.1 million and $42.1$25.5 million compared to $8.2 million and $12.8 million for the same periods ended March 31, 2020, an increase of approximately 65% and 230%, respectively. Revenue is expected to increase over time, which will allow the Company to rely less on the Company's existing cash balance and proceeds from financing transactions. Cash used by operations during the nine-months ended March 31, 2021 was $19.7 million compared to $20.6 million for the nine-months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in working capital and pay down of other liabilities.

As of the date of this Report, the Company expects its costs for operations to increase as the Company integrates the Neos acquisition, invests in new product development, continues to focus on revenue growth through increasing product sales and additional acquisitions. The Company’s current assets totaling approximately $100.0 million as of March 31, 2021 plus the proceeds expected from ongoing product sales will be used to fund existing operations. The Company may continue to access the capital markets from time-to-time when market conditions are favorable. The timing and amount of capital that may be raised is dependent on the terms and conditions upon which investors would require to provide such capital. There is no guarantee that capital will be available on terms favorable to the Company and its stockholders, or at all. Upon closing of the Neos merger, on March 19, 2021, the Company paid down $15.4 million of Neos' senior secured long-term debt, including accrued interest and $5.5 million of merger costs incurred by Neos. The Company did not issue any common stock under the Company's at-the-market offering program during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As2022 and 2021, respectively, and $92.5 million and $39.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $270.8 million and $178.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Cash used in operations was $21.7 million and $19.7 million during the date of this report,nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As the Company has adequate capital resources to complete its near-term operating objectives. 

Since the Company hasdoes not have sufficient cash on-handand cash equivalents as of March 31, 20212022 to cover potential netits cash outflowsneeds for the twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the Company reportsis unable to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to mitigate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern are primarily focused on raising additional capital through public or private equity or debt offerings or monetizing assets in order to meet its obligations. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources, however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, monetize assets or obtain new financing on commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its operations or delay the execution of its business plan. Alternatively, any efforts by the Company to reduce its expenses may adversely impact its ability to sustain revenue-generating activities and delay the progress of its developmental product candidates or otherwise operate its business. As a result, there existscan be no indicationassurance

that the Company will be successful in implementing its plans to alleviate this substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

If the Company is unable to raise adequate capital in the future when it is required, the Company's management can adjust its operating plans to reduce the magnitude of the Company's capital need under its existing operating plan. Some of the adjustments that could be made include delays of and reductions to commercial programs, reductions in headcount, narrowing the scope of the Company’s commercial plans, or reductions or delays to its research and development programs. Without sufficient operating capital, the Company could be required to relinquish rights to products or renegotiate to maintain such rights on less favorable terms than it would otherwise choose. This may lead to impairment or other charges, which could materially affect the Company’s balance sheet and operating results.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to makeManagement uses estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedrelating to reporting amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent consideration, contingent value rights ("CVRs"),assets and fixed payment obligationsliabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amountsamount of revenuerevenues and expenses forduring the reporting period.

Thesesuch estimates, and assumptions are based on the Company’s historicalactual results and management’s future expectations. Actual results couldmay differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness.

Prior Period Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of earnings and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including a reclassification made in the presentation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) fees for commercialized products. This was previously included in general and administrative expenses and is currently recorded as a component of cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These reclassifications did not impact operating results or cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 or its financial position as of March 31, 2022 or June 30, 2021.

Income Taxes

The Company historically presented accrued distributor fees as a reductioncalculates its quarterly income tax provision based on estimated annual effective tax rates applied to accounts receivable. However, beginning this quarterly reportordinary income (or loss) and for the comparative periods presented, accrued distributors fees will be presented in accrued liabilities instead of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2020, accrued distributor fees included in accounts receivable, net on the balance sheet was $457,000. This reclassification will have no impact on the Company's statements of operationother known items computed and cash flows presented in this quarterly report.

There have been no significant changes in tax law affecting the tax provision during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The impairment of goodwill during the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased net deferred tax liability by $0.1 million resulting in an income tax benefit of $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The income tax provision did not impact the amount of deferred taxes due to these policiesa full valuation allowance and the goodwill being recorded as a deferred tax liability.

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be

The Company adopted the guidance effective March 31, 2022 for the accounting of its LIBOR indexed revolving loans by prospectively applying the interest rate. The Company elected not to reassess the discount rate of its leases. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsposition and related notes during the threeresults of operations.

Financial Instruments  Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13).Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to require requiring the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with more decision-usefuladditional information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.credit. The standard was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.

2. Acquisitions

The Pediatric Portfolio

On October 10, 2019, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Cerecor, Inc. (“Cerecor”) to acquire a line of prescription pediatric products, (the "Pediatric Portfolio"), which closed on November 1, 2019. At closing, the Pediatric Portfolio consisted of four main prescription products (i) Cefaclor™ for Oral Suspension, (ii) Karbinal® ER (iii) Poly-Vi-Flor®, and (iv) Tri-Vi-Flor™. Total consideration transferred to Cerecor consisted of $4.5 million cash and approximately 980,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company also assumed certain of Cerecor’s financial and royalty obligations, and not more than $2.7 million of Medicaid rebates and up to $0.8 million of product returns, of which all $3.5 million has been incurred. The Company also hired the majority of Cerecor’s commercial workforce.

In addition, the Company assumed Cerecor obligations due to an investor that include fixed and variable payments aggregating to $25.6 million. The Company assumed fixed monthly payments equal to $0.1 million from November 2019 through January 2021 plus $15.0 million due in January 2021. Monthly variable payments due to the same investor are equal to 15% of net revenue generated from a subset of the Pediatric Portfolio, subject to an aggregate monthly minimum of $0.1 million, except for January 2020, when a one-time payment of $0.2 million was paid to the investor. The variable payment obligation continues until the earlier of: (i) aggregate variable payments of approximately $9.5 million have been made, or (ii) February 12, 2026. In June 2020, the Company paid down a $15.0 million balloon payment originally owed in January 2021 to reduce the fixed liability.

Further, certain of the products in the Pediatric Portfolio require royalty payments ranging from 12% to 15% of net revenue. One of the products in the Product Portfolio requires the Company to generate minimum annual sales sufficient to represent annual royalties of approximately $2.1 million, in the event the minimum sales volume is not satisfied.

While no equity was acquired by the Company, the transaction was accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method ofsignificant accounting pursuant to Topic 805. Accordingly, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder of the aggregate purchase price recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to strategic opportunities related to an expanded commercial footprint and diversified product portfolio that is expected to provide revenue and cost synergies.

8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

During fiscal 2022, the Company’s market capitalization has significantly declined. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the decline was considered a qualitative factor that led management to assess whether an impairment had occurred. Management’s evaluation indicated that the goodwill related to one of its reporting units within the BioPharma segment was potentially impaired. The Company then performed a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and compared that amount to its carrying value. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies include, but were not limited to prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. The decline in market capitalization was an indicator of increased risk thereby increasing the discount rates in the valuation models. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the discounted cash flow model. As of September 30, 2021, utilizing the risk adjusted weighted-average discount rate, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $19.5 million in the BioPharma segment related to the goodwill associated with the Cerecor Inc. acquisition. As of September 30, 2021, a quantitative test indicated there was no impairment to the Consumer Health reporting unit as it resulted in an implied fair value of $5.9 million compared with the $0.5 million carrying value.

The Company currently holds the following intangible asset portfolios as of March 31, 2021:2022: (i) Licensed assets, which consist of pharmaceutical product assets that were acquired prior to July 1, 2020; (ii) Product technology rights, acquired from the November 1, 2019 acquisition of the a line of prescription pediatric products (“Pediatric PortfolioPortfolio”) from Cerecor, as a result of the Innovus Merger on February 14, 2020Inc. and as a result of the Neos Merger onAcquisition in March 19, 2021, (iii)2021; (ii) Proprietary modified-release drug delivery technology right as a result of the Neos Merger, (iv)Acquisition; (iii) Acquired product distribution rights and commercial technology consisting of RxConnect and trade names as a result of the Neos Merger,Acquisition, and patents, trade names and the acquired customer lists from the Innovus Merger, (v)Acquisition; (iv) Acquired in-process R&D from the Neos Acquisition related to the NT0502 product candidate for sialorrhea from the Neos Merger.

On March 31, 2021, the Company and Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus”) entered into a termination and transition agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the License and Supply Agreement previously entered into on July 29, 2019. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company ceased all sales, marketing and promotionstreatment of Natesto, and Acerus agreed to pay the Company an aggregate amount of $7.5 million, payable in equal monthly installment payments for a period of 30 consecutive months. The Company determined that none of the $7.5 million future cash payments can be recognized as of March 31, 2021, and therefore the remaining $4.3 million carrying value of the licensed intangible asset related to Natesto was impaired, and there is no remaining value as of March 31, 2021. 

If acquired in an asset acquisition, the Company capitalized the acquisition cost of each licensed patent or tradename, which can include a combination of both upfront consideration, as well as the estimated future contingent consideration estimated at the acquisition date. If acquired in a business combination, the Company capitalizes the estimated fair value of the intangible asset or assets acquired, based primarily on a discounted cash flow model approach or relief-from-royalties model as further described in Note 2.

Certain of the Company’s amortizable intangible assets include renewal options, extending the expected life of the asset. The renewal periods range between approximately 1 to 20 years depending on the license, patent or other agreement. Renewals are accounted for when they are reasonably assured. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $1.7$2.0 million and $1.4$1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $6.1 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

10. Line of Credit

Upon closing of the Neos Acquisition in March 2021, the Company assumed obligations under the secured credit agreement that Neos had entered into with Eclipse Business Capital LLC (f/k/a Encina Business Credit, LLC) (“Eclipse”) as agent for the lenders (the “Eclipse Loan Agreement”). Under the Eclipse Loan Agreement, Eclipse extended up to $25.0 million in secured revolving loans to Neos (the “Revolving Loans”), of which up to $2.5 million was available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The Revolving Loans thereunder accrued at variable interest through maturity at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 4.50%. The Eclipse Loan Agreement included an unused line fee of 0.50% of the average unused portion of the maximum revolving facility amount during the immediately preceding month. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The original maturity date under the Eclipse Loan Agreement was May 11, 2022.

In connection with the Avenue Capital Agreement, described in Note 11 below, the Company entered into a Consent, Waiver and Second Amendment to Eclipse Loan Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2022 (together, the “Eclipse Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Eclipse Second Amendment, Eclipse (i) consented to Aytu and certain of its subsidiaries joining as obligors to the Revolving Loans provided by the Eclipse Loan Agreement, (ii) consented to the Company entering into the Avenue Capital Agreement, (iii) extended the maturity date of the Eclipse Loan Agreement to January 26, 2025, (iv) removed the requirement for the Company to comply with the ongoing fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant applicable to the borrowers under the Eclipse Loan Agreement, (v) consented to the first priority lien granted by Aytu in favor of the Avenue Capital Agent, (vi) reduced the maximum availability under the Revolving Loans from $25.0 million to $12.5 million minus a $3.5 million availability block, (vii) increased the availability block from $1.0 million to $3.5 million, (viii) consented to the full repayment under the Deerfield Facility, defined below, and (ix) made certain other modifications to conform to the Avenue Capital Agreement and to reflect the consummation of the transactions thereof, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Second Amendment.

The Company incurred $0.1 million in legal and other fees related to the Eclipse Second Amendment, all of which were recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the Eclipse Loan Agreement as interest expense. The unamortized cost of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2022 was included in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In the event that, for any reason, all or any portion of the Eclipse Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the scheduled maturity date, in addition to the payment of all outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest, the Company is required to pay a fee equal to (i) 2.0% of the Revolving Loans commitment if such event occurs on or before January 26, 2023, (ii) 1.0% of the Revolving Loans commitment if such event occurs after January 26, 2023 but on or before January 26, 2024, and (iii) 0.5% of the Revolving Loans commitment if such event occurs after January 26, 2024 but on or before January 26, 2025. The Company may permanently terminate the Eclipse Loan Agreement with at least five business days prior notice to Eclipse.

The Eclipse Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain capital expenditure limitations and other financial covenants, and restrict the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividends and distributions with respect to equity securities, engage in mergers and acquisitions or make asset sales without the prior written consent of Eclipse. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit Eclipse to declare the Company’s obligations under the Eclipse Loan Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, plus any applicable additional amounts relating to a prepayment or termination, as described above. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Eclipse Loan Agreement as amended.

The Company’s obligations under the Eclipse Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, with a first priority lien in favor of Eclipse on the ABL Priority Collateral, and a second priority lien in favor of Eclipse on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, as each is defined in the Replacement Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, as defined in the Eclipse Loan Agreement, as amended by the Eclipse Second Amendment.

20

Total interest expense on the Revolving Loans, including amortization of deferred financing costs, was $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. Interest expense was $28,000 for the period beginning March 19, 2021, the date the Neos Acquisition was closed, through March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the outstanding Revolving Loans under the Eclipse Loan Agreement, as amended, were $3.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively.

11. Long-term Debt

Deerfield Debt. Upon closing of the Neos Acquisition, the Company assumed a senior secured term credit facility (the “Deerfield Facility”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. and Deerfield Partners, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”) with an outstanding balance of $16.6 million.

The Company evaluated and determined that the fair value of the remaining outstanding debt was $17.4 million as of the March 19, 2021 acquisition date. Accordingly, the Company recorded a premium of $0.8 million, which was the difference between carrying amount and the fair value of the debt and was being amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the debt.

On January 26, 2022, the Company repaid the remaining principal outstanding in full, plus exit fees and accrued interest under the Deerfield Facility. The Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to the extinguishment of the Deerfield Facility. Total interest expense on the facility, net of premium amortization, was $0.8 million for the period from July 1, 2021 through full repayment on January 26, 2022.

Avenue Capital Loan: On January 26, 2022 (“Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Avenue Capital Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. as lenders (the “Avenue Capital Lenders”), and Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. as administrative agent (the “Avenue Capital Agent”), collectively (“Avenue Capital”), pursuant to which the Avenue Capital Lenders provided the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with a secured $15.0 million loan. The interest rate on the loan is the greater of the prime rate and 3.25%, plus 7.4%, payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date of the loan is January 26, 2025. The proceeds from the Avenue Capital Agreement were used towards the repayment of the Deerfield Facility.

Pursuant to the Avenue Capital Agreement, the Company will make interest only payments for the first 18 months following the Closing Date (“Interest-only Period”). The Interest-only Period could be extended automatically without any action by any party for six months provided, as of the last day of the Interest-only Period then in effect, the Company received, prior to June 15, 2023, a specified amount of net proceeds from the sale and issuance of its equity securities (“Interest-only Milestone 1”). The Interest-only Period could further be extended automatically without any action by any party for an additional six months provided, the Company has achieved, prior to December 31, 2023, (i) Interest-only Milestone 1 and (ii) a specified amount of trailing 12 months revenue as of the date of determination.

In the event the Company prepays the outstanding principal prior to the maturity date, the Company will pay Avenue Capital a fee equal to (i) 3.0% of the loan if such event occurs on or before January 26, 2023, (ii) 2.0% of the loan if such event occurs after January 26, 2023 but on or before January 26, 2024, and (iii) 1.0% of the loan if such event occurs after January 26, 2024 but before January 26, 2025. In addition, upon the payment in full of the obligations, the Company shall pay to Avenue Capital a fee in the amount of $0.6 million (“Final Payment”). The Company accounted for the Final Payment as additional obligations on the debt, with the corresponding debit being recorded as debt discount.

The Company’s obligations under Avenue Capital Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, with a first priority lien in favor of the Avenue Capital Agent on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, and a second priority lien in favor of the Avenue Capital Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, as each is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement, as defined in the Avenue Capital Agreement.

21

The Avenue Capital Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain capital expenditure limitations and other financial covenants, and restricts the Company’s ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, make certain dividends and distributions with respect to equity securities, engage in mergers and acquisitions or make asset sales without the prior written consent of the Avenue Capital Lenders. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the Avenue Capital Lenders to declare the Company’s obligations under the agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, plus any applicable additional amounts relating to a prepayment or termination, as described above. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Avenue Capital Agreement.

On January 26, 2022 (“Issuance Date”), as consideration for entering into the Avenue Capital Agreement, the Company issued warrants to the Avenue Capital Lenders to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.21 per share (the “Avenue Capital Warrants”). The Avenue Capital Warrants provided that in the event the Company were to engage in an equity offering at a price lower than $1.21 prior to June 30, 2022, the exercise price would be adjusted to the effective price of such equity offering and the number of shares of common stock to be issued under the Avenue Capital Warrants would be adjusted as set forth in the agreement. The Avenue Capital Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on January 31, 2027. At inception and through the reclassification to equity on March 7, 2022, the Company accounted for the Avenue Capital Warrants as a liability as the number of warrants was not fixed at the Issuance Date. The fair value of the Avenue Capital Warrants was $0.6 million on January 26, 2022, with the corresponding debit being recorded as debt discount. On March 7, 2022, the Company closed on an equity offering of shares of common stock and warrants, as described in Note 14 – Capital Structure, at an offering price of $1.25 per share. As this offering precludes the Company from pursuing any equity financing prior to July 7, 2022 and the effective price of the March 7, 2022 offering was more than the exercise price of the Avenue Capital Warrants, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Avenue Capital Warrants were set to 867,769 at an exercise price of $1.21. As a result, on March 7, 2022, the Company reclassified the Avenue Capital Warrants from a liability to equity and recorded the $0.4 million fair value as additional paid in capital in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s financial statements.

In addition to the debt discounts discussed above, the Company also incurred $0.4 million loan origination, legal and other fees. The debt discount and issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the loan, using the effective interest method resulting in an effective rate of 15.37%. Total interest expense on the Avenue Capital loan, including debt discount amortization, was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

12. Fair Value Considerations

The Company’s asset and liability classified financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, warrant derivative liability and contingent consideration. The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on Monte-Carlo models. The valuation policies are determined by management, and the Company’s Board of Directors is informed of any policy change.

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to Aytu for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. AytuThe Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods presented.

Contingent Consideration. The Company classifies its contingent consideration liability in connection with the acquisition of Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist and Innovus,liabilities within Level 3 as factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity.

Tuzistra

The royalty and make-whole milestone payments related to the licensing agreements with TRIS Pharma, Inc. (“Tris”) for Tuzistra XR was being accounted for as contingent consideration and revalued at each reporting period. As a result of the discontinuation of commercializing Tuzistra (see Note 4 – Revenue Recognition), and ongoing negotiations with Tris, the Company has concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, the product milestone payments underlying the contingent consideration liability ceased to exist. As of March 31, 2022, the Company reversed the remaining contingent considerations liabilities of $8.5 million and recorded a liability of $7.6 million related to the settlement payments payable to Tris (see Note 20 – Subsequent Events) for termination of the Tuzistra licensing agreement. The amount is included in other current and noncurrent liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, and represents the present value of future payments discounted using the Company’s borrowing rate. The Company estimates the fair valuedeferred recognition of $0.9 million net gain from reversal of contingent consideration liability based on projected payment dates, discount rates, probabilitiesand the settlement payments until the termination of paymentthe original agreement and projected revenues. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted backsigning of the settlement agreement in May 2022, and was included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022.

ZolpiMist

The royalty payments related to the current period usinglicensing agreements with Magna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Magna”) for ZolpiMist were being accounted for as contingent consideration and revalued at each reporting period. As a discounted cash flow methodology.

Asresult of November 2, 2018,the discontinuation of commercializing ZolpiMist, the Company has concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, the royalty-based product milestone payments underlying the contingent consideration relatedliability ceased to Tuzistra XR, was valued at $8.8 million using a Monte Carlo simulation.exist. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company reversed the remaining contingent consideration was revalued at $14.4liabilities of $0.6 million usingand recorded the same Monte Carlo simulation methodology, and based on current interest rates, expected sales potential and Aytu stock trading variables.  As of March 31, 2021, none of the milestones had been achieved, and therefore, no milestone$50,000 payment was made. However, approximately $3.0 million is expected to be paid in November 2021, as this milestone will be satisfied.

due for termination of the Manga licensing agreements in other current liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized $0.6 million gain from reversal of contingent consideration related toliability and the ZolpiMist royalty payments was valued at $2.6 million using a Monte Carlo simulation, astermination payment in the consolidated statements of June 11, 2018. As ofoperations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021,2022.

On February 14, 2020, the contingent consideration was revalued at $0.3 million using the same Monte Carlo simulation methodology, and based on current interest rates, expected sales potential and Aytu stock trading variables. The Company reevaluates the contingent consideration on a quarterly basis for changes in the fair value recognized after the acquisition date, such as measurement period adjustments.  As of March 31, 2021, none of the milestones had been achieved, and therefore, no milestone payment was made.

The Company recognized approximately $0.2 million in product related contingent consideration as a result of the February 14, 2020 Innovus Merger.Acquisition. The fair value was based on a discounted value of the future contingent payment using a 30% discount rate based on the estimatesestimated risk that the milestones are achieved. TheAs of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the contingent consideration accretion expensebalance was $0.3 million.

In June 2017, Innovus entered into the Exclusive License Agreement with University of Iowa Research Foundation (“UIRD”) (the “UIRD Agreement”) for the use of patent and technology know-how as defined in the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Innovus will pay UIRD a milestone payment of $50,000 every other year beginning on July 1, 2021 for a total payments of $0.2 million. The fair value was determined as the discounted value of the future contingent payment using a 26% discount rate based on the estimated risk that the milestones would be achieved. The discounted value as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, was approximately $0.1 million.

As a result of the reversal of contingent consideration liabilities, there was no gain or loss from the change in fair value of contingent consideration during the three andmonths ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized a net gain of $0.7 million from the changes in fair values of contingent considerations. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $0.5 million and 2020$1.7 million, respectively, from the changes in fair values of contingent considerations. The total accretion expense related to these contingent considerations was approximately $23,000 and $15,000 and $44,000, respectively. There was no material change in this valuation as of during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,. respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Contingent value rights. Contingent value rights (“CVRs”) represent contingent additional consideration of up to $16.0 million payable to satisfy future performance milestones related to the Innovus Merger.Acquisition. Consideration can be satisfied in up to 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or cash either upon the option of the Company or in the event there are insufficient shares available to satisfy such obligations. The fair value of the contingent value rights was based on a Monte Carlo model which takes into account current interest rates and expected sales potential. On March 31, 2020, the Company paid the CVR holders approximately 120,000123,820 shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy the first $2.0 million milestone, which relates to the Innovus achievement of $24.0 million in revenues during the 2019 calendar year.

The $1.0 million 2020 milestone for achieving profitability was not met. The unrealized loss$1.0 million 2021 milestones, which relate to the Innovus achievement of $40.0 million in revenues during the 2021 calendar year and $1.0 million for achieving profitability were not met. As of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the CVRs were revalued at $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, using the same Monte Carlo model. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $0.7 million and March 31, 2020 wasa loss of $0.1 million, respectively, and $0.2a gain of $0.7 million respectively. The unrealizedand a loss forof $1.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations related to the changes in fair values of CVRs.

Warrants. On January 26, 2022, as consideration for entering into the Avenue Capital Agreement, the Company issued the Avenue Capital Warrants to the Avenue Capital Lenders to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.21 per share. The Avenue Capital Warrants provided that in the event the Company were to engage in an equity offering at a price lower than $1.21 prior to June 30, 2021, the exercise price would be adjusted to the effective price of such equity offering and the number of shares of common stock to be issued under the Avenue Capital Warrants would be adjusted as set forth in the agreement. At inception and through the reclassification to equity on March 7, 2022, the Company accounted for the Avenue Capital Warrants as a liability as the number of shares was not fixed at the Issuance Date. The fair value of the Avenue Capital Warrants was $0.6 million on January 26, 2022 with hybrid approach using a combination of Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo simulation. On March 7, 2022, the Company reclassified the Avenue Capital Warrants from a liability to equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1.0 million and2022, the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million respectively. The CVR's did not exist until after December 31, 2019. in the consolidated statements of operations from changes in fair values of warrants (see Note 11 – Long-term Debt).

Stock Options

Employee Stock Options:

The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 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. Aytu 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 securities of similar maturity. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the options granted under the Neos 2015 Plan were as follows:

Equity Classified Warrants

On March 31, 2021,7, 2022, the Company recordedclosed on an underwriting agreement, pursuant to which, the Company sold, (i) 3,030,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 3,030,000 shares of common stock, and (iii) Common Warrants to purchase up to 6,666,000 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock and the Pre-Funded Warrants were each sold in combination with corresponding Common Warrants, with one Common Warrant to purchase 1.1 shares of common stock for each share of common stock or each Pre-Funded Warrant sold. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock and were exercised in full in April 2022. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.30 per share of common stock and are exercisable six months after the date of issuance and have a term of five years from the date of exercisability (see Note 14 – Capital Structure).

On January 26, 2022, as consideration for entering into the Avenue Capital Agreement, the Company issued Avenue Capital Warrants to the Avenue Capital Lenders to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.21 per share, subject to adjustment. The Avenue Capital Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on January 31, 2027. On March 7, 2022, the Company closed on an equity offering of shares of common stock and warrants at an offering price of $1.25 per share. As this offering precluded the Company from pursuing any equity financing prior to July 7, 2022 and the effective price of the March 7, 2022 offering was more than the exercise price of the Avenue Capital Warrants, the number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Avenue Capital Warrants were set to 867,769 shares at an exercise price of $1.21. As a result, on March 7, 2022, the Company reclassified the Avenue Capital Warrants from a liability to equity (see Note 11 – Long-term Debt, Note 12 – Fair Value Considerations and Note 14 – Capital Structure).

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential of securities that could share in the net loss of the Company. For each three-month period presented, the basic and diluted lossThe 3,030,000 Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock were the same for 2020considered economically equivalent to common stock and 2019, as they were not included in the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for calculation of the diluted net lossbasic income (loss) per share because they would have been anti-dilutive.

In April 2020, the Company issued a $0.8 million promissory note (the “Note”) and received consideration of approximately $0.6 million. The Note had an eight-month term with principal and interest payable on November 1, 2020, and the recognition of approximately $0.2 million of debt discount related to the issuance of promissory notes. The discount was amortized over the life of the promissory notes through the fourth quarter of calendar 2020. During the three and nine-months ended months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded approximately $15,000 and $70,000, respectively, of related amortization. On December 10, 2020, the Company agreed to exchange the Note for 130,081 shares of the Company's common stock in lieu of $0.8 million in cash that would otherwise have been due to satisfy this obligation on March 31, 2021. As a result of this exchange, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of approximately $0.3 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

The Innovus Notes. On January 9, 2020, prior to the completion of the merger, Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., entered into a notelicensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to secure worldwide rights to various potential esophageal and nasopharyngeal uses of Healight, an investigational medical device platform technology.

The agreement with Cedars-Sinai grants the Company a license to all patent and development related technology rights for the intra-corporeal therapeutic use of ultraviolet light in the field of endotracheal and nasopharyngeal applications. The term of the agreement is on a country-by-country basis and will expire on the latest of the date upon which it received gross proceedsthe last to expire valid claim shall expire, ten years after the first bona fide commercial sale of $0.4 million withsuch licensed product in a principal amountcountry, or the expiration of $0.5 million. The note requires twelve equal monthly payments of approximately $45,000. As of March 31, 2021, the balance of the note has been paid.

The Neos Revolving Loans. On October 2, 2019, Neos entered intoany market exclusivity period granted by a senior secured credit agreement with Encina Business Credit, LLC (“Encina”) as agent for the lenders (the “Loan Agreement”). Under the Loan Agreement, Encina will extend up to $25.0 million in secured revolving loans to Neos (the “Revolving Loans”), of which up to $2.5 million may be available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The Revolving Loans bear variable interest through maturity at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin of 4.50%. In addition, Neos is required to pay an unused line fee of 0.50% of the average unused portion of the maximum revolving facility amount during the immediately preceding month. Interest is payable monthly in arrears, upon a prepayment of a loan and on the maturity date. The maturity date under the Loan Agreement is May 11, 2022.

In the event that, for any reason, all or any portion of the lender's commitment to make revolving loans is terminated prior to the scheduled maturity date, in addition to the payment of the principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, Neos is required to pay to the lender a prepayment fee equal to (i) 1.0% of the revolving loan commitment if such event occurs on or before October 2, 2021, and (ii) 0.5% of the revolving loan commitment if such event occurs after October 2, 2021 but before May 11, 2022. Neos may permanently terminate the revolving loan facility by prepaying all outstanding principal amounts and all unpaid accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, subject to at least five business days prior notice to the lender and the payment of a prepayment fee as described above.

The Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require Neos to satisfy certain capital expenditure and other financial covenants, and restrict Neos’ ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions or make asset sales without the prior written consent of the Lenders. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the Lenders to declare Neos’ obligations under the Loan Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, plus any applicable additional amounts relating to a prepayment or termination, as described above. Neos evaluated to determine if the embedded components in the agreement qualified as derivatives requiring separate recognition.  

In connection with the closing of the Neos Merger, Neos and Encina entered into a Consent, Waiver and First Amendment to the Loan Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Encina Consent, Waiver and Amendment”). Pursuant to the Consent, Waiver and First Amendment, Encina (i) irrevocably waives the right to impose the default rate of interest solely to the extent resulting from the inclusion of a "going concern" qualification in the audited financial statements of Neos on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (the “Specified Default), (ii) the right to impose the Default Rate of interest under Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement, or to collect interest accruing at such Default Rate that Lenders had a lawful right to collect or apply with respect to any such Specified Default, and (iii) makes certain other modifications to the Encina Loan Agreement to reflect the consummation of the Neos Merger and the status of Neos as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aytu, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Encina Consent, Waiver and Amendment. 

Total interest expense was $28,000 for the period beginning March 20, 2021 and ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, $4.7 million borrowing was outstanding under the Revolving Loan and Neos was in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Agreement as amended.

The Neos Senior Secured Credit Facility. On May 11, 2016, Neos entered into a $60.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. (66 2/3% of Facility) and Deerfield Partners, L.P. (33 1/3% of Facility) (collectively, “Deerfield”). As of March 19, 2021, remaining principal on the Facility was $15.6 million, with $0.6 million due on April 11, 2021 and with a final payment of principal, interest and all other obligations under the Facility due May 11, 2022. Interest is due quarterly beginning in June 2021, at a rate of 12.95% per year.

In connection with the Neos Merger, Neos and Deerfield entered into a Consent, Waiver and Sixth Amendment to the Facility, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Deerfield Consent, Waiver and Amendment”). Pursuant to the Consent, Waiver and Sixth Amendment, Deerfield (i) consented to certain amendments to the Encina loan documents, (ii) irrevocably waive the Going Concern Conditions as described in the Deerfield Consent, Waiver and Amendment and their right to impose the default rate of interest as provided for in the Facility as of May 11, 2016, or to collect interest accruing at such default rate of interest, that the Lenders had a lawful right to collect or apply with respect to any such Event of Default for failure to satisfy such Going Concern Condition, (iii) subject the Company and its subsidiaries to certain restrictive covenants including limitations on the incurrence of debt, granting of liens and transfers of assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (iv) makes certain other modifications to the Facility to reflect the consummation of the Neos Merger and the status of Neos as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Such modifications also include the prepayment of $15.0 million by the Company of the principal of the loan that was otherwise due on May 11, 2021 plus any accrued interest thereon through March 19, 2021, plus a make-whole payment equal to the interest that would otherwise have been due on that $15.0 million for the period beginning March 19, 2021 through May 11, 2021. The Sixth Amendment also eliminated the right of Deerfield to convert outstanding amounts of the loans into conversion shares and the right of Neos to make payments to Deerfield in the form of shares of common stock. The Company is a guarantor under the Facility.

regulatory agency. Pursuant to the terms of the Facility, as amended, the $15.0 million principal prepayment was paid in cash on March 19, 2021, and the carrying amount of the remaining outstanding debt was $16.6 million. As the Neos Merger was accounted for as a business combination under Topic 805, Neos evaluated and determined that the fair value of the remaining outstanding debt was $17.4 million as of March 20, 2021. Accordingly, Neos recorded a premium of $0.8 million, which is the difference between carrying amount and the fair value of the debt and is being amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the debt. As of March 31, 2021,agreement, the Company waspaid an initial $0.3 million license fee and approximately $0.1 million in compliance with the covenants under the Facility as amended. Total interest expense on the Facility, net of premium amortization, was $46,000 for the period beginning March 20, 2021 and ended March 31, 2021.earlier patent prosecution fees.

Overview

We are a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel therapeutics and consumer healthcare products.products and developing therapeutics for rare pediatric-onset or difficult-to-treat diseases. We currently operate our Aytuthrough two business segments (i) the BioPharma business,segment, consisting of ourvarious prescription pharmaceutical products sold through third party wholesalers (the “RxRx Portfolio”), and (ii) the Consumer Health segment, which consists of various consumer health products sold directly to consumers. We generate revenue by selling our Aytu consumer healthcare products business (the “Consumer Health Portfolio”). Our Aytu BioPharma business is focused on commercializing prescription pharmaceuticalthrough third party intermediaries in our marketing channels as well as directly to our customers. We currently manufacture our products for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD"(“ADHD”), allergies, insomnia, at our manufacturing facilities and various pediatric conditions. Our Aytu Consumer Health business is focused on commercializinguse third party manufacturers for our other prescription and consumer healthcarehealth products. We also have two product candidates in development, AR101 (enzastaurin) for the treatment of vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (“VEDS”) and Healight (endotracheal light catheter) for the treatment the treatment of severe, difficult-to-treat respiratory infections.

We have incurred significant losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on August 9, 2002$53.1 million and $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $92.5 million and $39.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $270.8 million and $178.3 million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, including the integration of our acquisitions and development of our product pipeline.

Significant Developments

Business Environment

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy and create economic uncertainties. We believe COVID-19 has negatively impacted the market for prescription products, disrupted the reliability of the supply chain, and impacted the ability and efficiency of conducting clinical trials. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to negatively impact our business in the Statefuture will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of Colorado. We were re-incorporatedthe outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the new variants of coronavirus, the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, and the continued impact of each of these items on the economies and financial markets in the stateUnited States and abroad. While states and jurisdictions have rolled back stay-at-home and quarantine orders and reopened in phases, it is difficult to predict what the lasting impact of Delawarethe pandemic will be, and if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage were to experience additional shutdowns or other prolonged business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on June 8, 2015.the timelines presently planned could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation and financial condition. In addition, a recurrence or impact from new strains of COVID-19 cases could cause other widespread or more severe impacts depending on where infection rates are highest. We will continue to monitor developments as we deal with the disruptions and uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have continued to experience significant inflationary pressure and supply chain disruptions related to the sourcing of raw materials, energy, logistics and labor during fiscal 2022. While we do not have sales or operations in Russia or Ukraine, it is possible that the conflict or actions taken in response, could adversely affect some of our markets and suppliers, economic and financial markets, costs and availability of energy and materials, or cause further supply chain disruptions. We continue to closely monitor the impact of, and responses to, COVID-19 variants, including government-imposed lockdowns, on demand conditions and our supply chain. We expect that inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions could continue to be significant across the business throughout the year.

Debt and Equity financing

On January 26, 2022, we entered into Loan and Security Agreement (the “Avenue Capital Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund II, L.P. as lenders (the “Avenue Capital Lenders”), and Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. as administrative agent (the “Avenue Capital Agent”), collectively (“Avenue Capital”), pursuant to which the Avenue Capital Lenders provided the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with a secured $15.0 million loan. The Rx Portfolio consistsinterest rate on the loan is the greater of the prime rate and 3.25%, plus 7.4%, payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date of the loan is January 26, 2025. The proceeds from the Avenue Capital Agreement were used towards the repayment of outstanding obligations pursuant to a senior secured term credit facility (the “Deerfield Facility”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. and Deerfield Partners, L.P., which was otherwise due and payable on May 11, 2022. Concurrent with the Avenue Capital Agreement, we entered into a Consent, Waiver and Second Amendment to Eclipse Loan Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2022 (together, the “Eclipse Second Amendment”), in which Eclipse (as defined below) extended the maturity date from the May 11, 2022 to January 26, 2025 and reduced the availability under the Revolving Loans from $25.0 million to $12.5 million minus a $3.5 million availability block. See Note 10 – Line of Credit and Note 11 – Long-term Debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

On March 7, 2022, upon closing of an underwritten public offering, we raised gross proceeds of $7.5 million from the issuance of (i) Adzenys XR-ODT (amphetamine) extended-release orally disintegrating tablets,3,030,000 shares of our common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,030,000 shares of common stock, and (iii) common stock purchase warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 6,666,000 shares of common stock (the “March 2022 Offering”). We received $6.8 million in proceeds net of underwriting fees and other expenses.

On March 31, 2021,April 19, 2022, we were notified by the FDA that AR101 received Fast Track designation. Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development, and Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus”expedite the review, of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Fast Track addresses a broad range of serious conditions, and the request can be initiated by a pharmaceutical company at any time during the development process. FDA reviews the request and decides based on whether or not the drug fills an unmet medical need in a serious condition. Once a drug receives Fast Track designation, early and frequent communication between the FDA and the sponsor is encouraged throughout the entire drug development and review process. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement among Aytu BioPharma and Rumpus VEDS LLC, Rumpus Therapeutics LLC and Rumpus Vascular LLC (together, “Rumpus”) entered into a termination and transition agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminateon April 12, 2021, the License and Supply Agreement previously entered into on July 29, 2019. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, we ceased all sales, marketing and promotionsachievement of Natesto, and Acerus agreedthis Fast Track designation was an earn-out milestone, which resulted in our obligation to pay us$1.5 million to Rumpus in cash or in shares of our common stock.

AR101 is an aggregate amount of $7.5 million, payable in equal monthly installment payments for a period of 30 consecutive months. The original License and Supply Agreement was effective July 1, 2016 and was amended on July 29, 2019. Following the effectivenessorally available investigational first-in-class small molecule, serine/threonine kinase inhibitor of the original LicensePKC beta, PI3K and Supply Agreement, we builtAKT pathways. AR101 has been studied in more than 3,300 patients across a 30-person sales forcerange of solid and hematological tumor types in trials previously conducted by Eli Lilly & Company. Dr. Hal Dietz developed the first preclinical model that mimics the human condition and recapitulates VEDS, and this model serves as the basis for the plausible clinical benefit and rationale for conducting a clinical trial with AR101 in VEDS.

Positive results from a preclinical pilot study for Healight™

In April 2022, our preclinical pilot study showed a positive results that administration of our Healight ultraviolet light A (“UV-A”) endotracheal catheter delayed the time to relaunch Natesto followingdevelopment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (“VAP”) in a novel porcine model. VAP has a reported mortality rate approaching 50% in some patient populations, making it one of the terminationmost difficult-to-treat and deadly infections affecting hospitalized patients. Approximately 86% of a license agreement between Acerusnosocomial pneumonias are associated with mechanical ventilation and Endo Pharmaceuticals that resultedresult in the rights to Natesto in North America reverting back to Acerus. 

On March 19, 2021, we acquired Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Neos”), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company developingVAP. Between 250,000 and manufacturing central nervous system-focused products (the “Neos Merger”). Neos commercializes Adzenys XR-ODT, Cotempla XR-ODT and Adzenys-ER300,000 VAP cases per year occur in the United States using Neos' internal commercial organization. These commercial products are extended-release (“XR”) medicationsalone, which is an incidence rate of 5 to 10 cases per 1,000 hospital admissions. VAP afflicts up to 15% of mechanically ventilated patients in patient-friendly, orally disintegrating tablet (“ODT”) or oral suspension dosage forms that utilize our microparticle modified-release drug delivery technology platform. Neos received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for these three products. In addition, Neos manufactures and sells generic Tussionex.intensive care units.

Discontinued products

Our strategy is to continue building our portfolio of revenue-generating products, leveraging our focused commercial team and expertise to build leading brands within large therapeutic markets.

Strategic Growth Initiatives

Pursuant to our strategy of identifying and acquiring complementary assets and companies, we expect to substantially increase our revenue generating capacity and provide opportunities to reduce our combined operating losses through a combinationAs part of our recent acquisitionsrealization of post-acquisition synergies and revenue growth.

 Strategic Rx Acquisitions. On March 19, 2021,product prioritization, we closed on the merger with Neos after approval by the stockholders of Neos on March 18, 2021 and the approval of the consideration to be delivered by us in connection with the merger by the shareholders of Aytu, also on March 18, 2021. We expect the Neos Merger to accelerate our path to profitability, with estimated annualized cost synergies of up to approximately $15.0 million beginning FY 2022. Neos’ established, multi-brand ADHDhave implemented a portfolio rationalization plan whereby we will enhance our footprint in pediatrics and expand our presence in adjacent specialty care segments. We also have an opportunity to leverage and further enhance Neos RxConnect, a best-in-class patient support program, for our heritage product portfolio of best-in-class prescription therapeutics, and potentially, our consumer health products.

On November 1 2019, we acquired the Cerecor, Inc.'s ("Cerecor") portfolio of prescription pediatric therapeutics (the “Pediatric Portfolio”). At closing, the Pediatric Portfolio consisted of four pharmaceutical and other prescription products consisting of (i)discontinue or divest five non-core products: Cefaclor for Oral Suspension, (ii) Karbinal ER, (iii) Poly- Vi-Flor,Flexichamber, Tussionex, Tuzistra XR, and (iv) Tri-Vi-Flor. Total consideration transferred consisted of $4.5Zolpimist. These products, collectively, contributed $1.7 million cash and approximately 9.8 million shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, plus the assumption of not more than $3.5 million of Medicaid rebates and products returns. In addition, we hired the majority of the Cerecor’s commercial workforce.

We have assumed obligations due to an investor including fixed and variable payments. We assumed fixed monthly payments equal to $0.1 million from November 2019 through January 2021 plus $15.0 million due in January 2021. Monthly variable payments due to the same investor are equal to 15% of net revenue generated from a subset of the Product Portfolio, subject to an aggregate monthly minimum of $0.1and $0.6 million except for January 2020, when a one-time payment of $0.2 million was due and paid. The variable payment obligation continues until the earlier of: (i) aggregate variable payments of approximately $9.5 million have been made, or (ii) February 12, 2026. We subsequently paid down the $15.0 million balloon payment early in June 2020.

Further, certain of the products in the Pediatric Portfolio require royalty payments ranging from 15.0% to 38.0% of net revenue. One of the products in the Pediatric Portfolio requires us to generate minimum annual sales sufficient to represent annual royalties of approximately $2.1 million.

Consumer Health Acquisitions. On February 14, 2020, we closed on the merger with Innovus Pharmaceuticals after approval by the stockholders of both companies on February 13, 2020. The acquisition of Innovus has enabled us to expand into the consumer healthcare market with Innovus’ over-the-counter medicines and other consumer health products. We expect Innovus to continue to develop additional consumer healthcare products and expand its product portfolio. This, we expect, will drive additional revenue for our consumer health subsidiary and contribute meaningfully to the company's overall revenue growth.

In the near-term, we expect to create value for shareholders by implementing a focused strategy of increasing sales of our prescription therapeutics while leveraging our commercial infrastructure. Further, we expect to increase sales of our consumer healthcare product portfolio. Further, we expect to expand both our Rx and consumer health product portfolios through continuous business and product development. Additionally we recently acquired a late-stage asset for development of a rare connective tissue disorder. Finally, we expect to identify operational efficiencies and remove redundancies identified through our recent transactions and implement expense reductions accordingly.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expensesgross loss during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, allowances, contingent consideration, contingent value rights ("CVR"), fixed payment arrangements and going concern. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, that we believe to be reasonable under the 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in applying these critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal yearnine months ended June 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on October 6, 2020.

Information regarding our accounting policies and estimates can be found in the Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements.

Product revenue. We recognizedrevenue, net revenue from product sales of approximately $13.5 million and $8.2 million for

In the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recognized net revenue from product sales of approximately $42.1 and $12.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of the Pediatric Portfolio on November 1, 2019, the Consumer Health Portfolio on February 14, 2020 and the ADHD product portfolio of Neos on March 19, 2021, as well as additional revenues from COVID-19 test kit sales. Due to our entry on March 31, 2021 into a termination and transition agreement with Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation terminating the License and Supply Agreement related to Natesto, we will no longer recognize revenue related to Natesto as of April 1, 2021.  

Cost of sales. We incurred cost of sales of $13.7 million and $2.0 million recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We incurred the cost of sales $23.5 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisitions of the Pediatric Portfolio on November 1, 2019, Consumer Health Portfolio on February 14, 2020 and Neos on March 19, 2021, as well as additional sales from COVID-19 test kit sales. In addition, we recognized approximately $7.0 million in write-downs for slow moving inventory during the three-months ended March 31, 2021. Neos manufactures the ADHD products at its Grand Prairie, Texas facilities, and as such, allocates a significant portion of its intangible assets amortization and fixed assets depreciation into cost of sales.

Research and development expenses increased approximately $0.6 million, or 285% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was due primarily to costs associated with our Healight Platform license and initial research and development costs, as well as the acquisition of Neos on March 19, 2021, which incurs costs related to product development and FDA-required post-marketing clinical trials.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative costs increased $3.7 million, or 40%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared the three months ended March 31, 2020. Selling, general and administrative costs increased $16.3 million, or approximately 84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to acquisitions of the Pediatric Portfolio, Innovus and Neos that occurred in the prior year ended June 30, 2020, of which, only the Pediatric Portfolio was a component of our financial results for November and December of 2019. The remaining portion of the Neos intangible assets amortization and fixed assets depreciation not allocated into cost of sales is allocated to selling, general and administrative expense.

Amortization and impairment of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense of intangible assets was approximately $5.9 million and $1.4 million for the for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense of intangible assets was approximately $9.0The increases were primarily driven by the $9.7 million and $2.9$30.5 million fornet revenue generated from the ADHD product portfolio during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 This expense is related to corresponding amortization of2022, respectively, which we acquired in March 2021. Revenue from our finite-lived intangible assets. The increase of this expense is due primarily to the $4.3 million write-off of licensed intangible asset related to the March 30, 2021 Natesto divestiture and the Pediatric Portfolio acquisition from Cerecor and Innovus Merger that occurred in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020..

Acquisition related costs. We incurred acquisition related costs of $1.5consumer health products grew by $2.0 million and $2.8 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 related2022, respectively, attributable to the Neos Merger. Duringlaunching of three ANDA products in 2020 which has resulted in increased sales.

38

These increases were partially offset by decreases of $1.2 million and $6.6 million in revenue from sale of COVID-19 test kits during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred acquisition costs2022, respectively, and reductions in revenue of $0.3$0.4 million and $1.5 million related to the Innovus Merger. Such costs include legal fees and due diligence expenses and financial advisory fees.

Restructuring costs. We incurred severance costs of $4.8 million and $4.9$1.2 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, from the divesture of our Natesto prescription product.

Cost of sales

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, cost of sales decreased by $2.4 million, or 17%, compared to three months ended March 31, 2021 and in the nine months ended March 31, 2022 cost of sales increased by $7.5 million, or 31%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Cost of sales in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 were affected by a $7.0 million write down of COVID-19 test kits as that product was discontinued. The remaining increases were a result of the increased revenue as described above. Currently, we manufacture our ADHD products and are in the process of moving production to a third-party contract manufacturer and expect to complete that process in mid-calendar 2023. We believe this change will improve the gross margins earned on these products.

Amortization of intangible assets

In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, amortization expense of intangible assets, excluding amounts included in cost of sales, decreased by $0.5 million, or 33%, and $1.5 million, or 32%, compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

The Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants have a combined fair value of approximately $5.6 million and are classified as additional paid in capital in the stockholders’ equity.

On December 10, 2020, we entered into an underwriting agreement, pursuant to which, we agreed to sell, in an upsized firm commitment offering, 4,166,667 shares of our common stock, to the underwriter at an offering price to the public of $6.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, we granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 625,000 shares of common stock at the same offering price to the public, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter exercised their over-allotment option in full, purchasing a total of 4,791,667 shares of common stock. We raised gross proceeds of $28.8 million through this quarterly report on Form 10-Q,offering. Offering costs totaled $2.6 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $26.2 million. In connection with the offering, we issued 311,458 underwriter warrants to purchase up to 311,458 shares of common stock. The exercise price per share of the underwriter warrants is $7.50 (equal to 125% of the public offering price per share for the shares of common stock sold in the offering) and the underwriter warrants have not issued anya term of five years from the date of effectiveness of the offering. The underwriter warrants are exercisable immediately. These warrants have a fair value of approximately $1.3 million and are classified as additional paid in capital in the stockholders' equity. Effective June 2, 2021, we terminated the underwriting agreement; pursuant to such termination, there will be no future sales of our common stock under our at-the-market offering program. Asthis underwriting agreement.

Eclipse Loan Agreement

Upon closing of the date of this report,Neos Acquisition in March 2021, we have adequate capital resources to cover potential net cash outflowsassumed the senior secured credit agreement that Neos entered into with Eclipse Business Capital LLC (f/k/a Encina Business Credit, LLC) (“Eclipse”) as agent for the twelve months followinglenders (the “Eclipse Loan Agreement”). We entered into the filingEclipse Second Amendment, dated as of January 26, 2022, in which Eclipse extended the maturity date from May 11, 2022 to January 26, 2025. Under the amended Eclipse Loan Agreement, Eclipse will from time to time extend up to $12.5 million in secured revolving loans to us (the “Revolving Loans”), of this Quarterly Report.

If we are unablewhich up to raise adequate capital$2.5 million may be available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable. See Note 10 – Line of Credit in the future when it is required, we can adjust our operating plans to reduce the magnitude of the capital needs under our existing operating plan. Some of the adjustments that could be made include delays of and reductions to commercial programs, reductions in headcount, narrowing the scope of our commercial plans, or reductions or delay to our research and development programs. Without sufficient operating capital, we could be required to relinquish rights to products or renegotiate to maintain such rights on less favorable terms than it would otherwise choose. This may lead to impairment or other charges, which could materially affect our balance sheet and operating results.accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during these periods primarily reflected our net losses, partially offset by changes in working capital and non-cash charges including inventory write-down, changes in fair values of various liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion and other charges.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in operating activities totaled $21.7 million. The use of cash was approximately $70.7 million less than the net loss due primarily to non-cash charges of goodwill and

42

long-lived asset impairment, depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation, inventory write-down and loss from change in fair values of contingent consideration. These non-cash charges were partially offset by non-cash credits of amortization of debt premium and gain from change in fair values of contingent value rights. In addition, our use of cash decreased due to changes in working capital including decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expense and other current assets, increase in accrued liabilities, offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

During the nine-months ended March 31, 2021,, our operating activities used $19.7 million in cash, which was less than the net loss of $34.2 million, primarily due to a $7.2 write-down related tomillion inventory impairment, and other non-cash adjustments such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation, and loss from change in fair value of contingent consideration and CVR,contingent value rights (“CVR”), decreases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets and an increase in accrued compensation. These charges were offset by an increase in inventory and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the nine-months ended March 31, 2020, our operating activities used $20.6 million in cash, which was greater than the net loss of $10.5 million, primarily as a result of derecognition of contingent consideration and an increase in accounts receivable, offset by the non-cash depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation charges to earnings, coupled with an increase in accounts payable.

Net Cash fromProvided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $2.6 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily from $15.0 million proceeds from long-term debt and $11.9 million net proceeds from issuance of our common stock, partially offset by $16.1 million full repayment of long-term debt, $4.5 million net reduction in our revolving loan, $3.2 million in payments of fixed payment arrangements and $0.4 million payment of debt issuance costs.

Net provided by financing activities in the nine-months ended March 31, 2021 was $18.6 million. This was primarily related to the December 2020 offering for gross proceeds cost of $28.8 million offset by the offering cost of $2.6 million. We also issued shares of our common stock under the ATM with gross proceeds of $3.6 million, which was offset by commission and other offering cost of $1.6 million. We paid approximately $6.0 million on our short-term line of credit, $3.0 million related to fixed payment obligation and $0.3 million of debt.

Capital Resources

Net cashWe have obligations related to our loan and credit facilities, contingent considerations related to our acquisitions, milestone payments and purchase commitments.

Loan and Credit

Avenue Capital Agreement

On January 26, 2022, we entered into the Avenue Capital Agreement, pursuant to which the Company received $15.0 million loan. The interest rate on the loan is the greater of the prime rate and 3.25%, plus 7.4%, payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date of the loan is January 26, 2025. The proceeds from the Avenue Capital Agreement were used towards the repayment of the Deerfield Facility.

In the event we prepay the outstanding principal prior to the maturity date, we will pay Avenue Capital a fee equal to (i) 3.0% of the loan if such event occurs on or before January 26 2023, (ii) 2.0% of the loan if such event occurs after January 26, 2023 but on or before January 26, 2024, and (iii) 1.0% of the loan if such event occurs after January 26, 2024 but before January 26, 2025. In addition, upon the payment in full of the obligations, we shall pay to Avenue

43

Capital a non-refundable fee in the amount of $0.6 million (“Final Payment”). See Note 11 – Long-term Debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Eclipse Loan Agreement

The Eclipse Loan Agreement, as amended, provides us with up to $12.5 million in Revolving Loans, of which up to $2.5 million may be available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The Revolving Loans bear variable interest through maturity at the one-month LIBOR, plus 4.50%. In addition, we are required to pay an unused line fee of 0.50% of the average unused portion of the maximum Revolving Loans amount during the immediately preceding month. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date under the Eclipse Loan Agreement, as amended, is January 26, 2025.

In event that, for any reason, all or any portion of the Eclipse Loan Agreement is terminated prior to the scheduled maturity date, in addition to the payment of all outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest, we are required to pay a fee equal to (i) 2.0% of the Revolving Loans commitment if such event occurs on or before January 26, 2023, (ii) 1.0% of the Revolving Loans commitment if such event occurs after January 26, 2023 but on or before January 26, 2024, and (iii) 0.5% of the Revolving Loans commitment if such event occurs after January 26, 2024 but on or before January 26, 2025. We may permanently terminate the Eclipse Loan Agreement with at least five business days prior notice. See Note 10 – Line of Credit in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

As a result of our acquisitions and licensing agreements, we are contractually and contingently obliged to pay, when due, various fixed and contingent milestone payments. See Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Upon closing of the acquisition of a line of prescription pediatric products from Cerecor, Inc. in October 2019, we assumed payment obligations that required us to make fixed and product milestone payments. As of March 31, 2022, up to $8.5 million of milestone payments remain.

In connection with the February 2020 acquisition of Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Innovus Acquisition”), all of Innovus’s shares were converted to our common stock and CVRs, which represents contingent additional consideration of up to $16.0 million payable to satisfy future performance milestones. As of March 31, 2022, up to $10 million of milestone payments remain.

In connection with our Innovus Acquisition, we assumed a contingent obligation which required us to make five payments of $0.5 million, between fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2033 to Novalere, if and when certain levels of FlutiCare sales are achieved.

In connection with our acquisition of the Rumpus assets, upon satisfaction of the milestones, we may be required to pay up to $67.5 million in regulatory and commercial-based earn-out payments to Rumpus. Under the licensing agreement with Denovo Biopharma LLC (“Denovo”), we are required to make a payment of $0.6 for an option license fee in April 2022 and upon achievement of regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $101.7 million is payable to Denovo. Under the licensing agreement with JHU, upon achievement of regulatory and commercial milestone, we may be required to pay up to $1.6 million to Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”). In fiscal 2022, two milestones were achieved totaling $4.0 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the

44

date of the financial statements, as well as reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the notes to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

We generate revenue from product sales through our BioPharma segment and Consumer Health segment. We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) as each performance obligation is individually satisfied.

Revenue from our BioPharma segment involves significant judgment and estimates of the net sales price, including estimates of variable consideration (e.g., savings offers, prompt payment discounts, product returns, wholesaler (distributor) fees, wholesaler chargebacks and estimated rebates) to be incurred on the respective product sales (known as “Gross to Net” adjustments), and we recognize the estimated net amount as revenue when control of the product is transferred to our customers (e.g., upon delivery). Variable consideration is determined using either an expected value or a most likely amount method. The estimate of variable consideration is also subject to a constraint such that some or all of the estimated amount of variable consideration will only be included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue (in the context of the contract) will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimating variable consideration and the related constraint requires the use of significant management judgment and other market data. We provide for prompt payment discounts, wholesaler fees and wholesaler chargebacks based on customer contractual stipulations. We analyze recent product return history to determine a reliable return rate. Additionally, management analyzes historical savings offers and rebate payments based on patient prescriptions and information obtained from third party providers to determine these respective variable considerations.

Savings offers

We offer savings programs for our patients covered under commercial payor plans in which the cost of a prescription to such patients is discounted. The amount of redeemed savings offers is recorded based on information from third-party providers against the estimated discount recorded as accrued expenses. The estimated discount is recorded as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized. Historical trends of savings offers will be regularly monitored, which may result in adjustments to such estimates in the future.

Prompt payment discounts

Prompt payment discounts are based on standard programs with wholesalers and are recorded as a discount allowance against accounts receivable and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized.

Wholesale distribution fees

Wholesale distribution fees are based on definitive contractual agreements for the management of our products by wholesalers and are recorded as accrued expenses and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized.

45

Rebates

The Rx Portfolio products are subject to commercial managed care and government managed Medicare and Medicaid programs whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating managed care organizations and federal and/or state governments. Calculations related to rebate accruals are estimated based on information from third-party providers. Estimated rebates are recorded as accrued expenses and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized. Historical trends of estimated rebates will be regularly monitored, which may result in adjustments to such estimates in the future.

Returns

Wholesalers’ contractual return rights are limited to defective product, product that was shipped in error, product ordered by customer in error, product returned due to overstock, product returned due to dating or product returned due to recall or other changes in regulatory guidelines. The return policy for expired product allows the wholesaler to return such product starting six months prior to expiry date to twelve months post expiry date. Estimated returns are recorded as accrued expenses and as a gross to net sales adjustments at the time revenue is recognized. We analyzed return data available from sales since inception date to determine a reliable return rate.

Wholesaler chargebacks

The Rx Portfolio products are subject to certain programs with wholesalers whereby pricing on products is discounted below wholesaler list price to participating entities. These entities purchase products through wholesalers at the discounted price, and the wholesalers charge the difference between their acquisition cost and the discounted price back to us. Estimated chargebacks are recorded as a discount allowance against accounts receivable and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized based on information provided by financing activitiesthird parties.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Until objective and persuasive evidence exists that regulatory approval has been received and future economic benefit is probable, pre-launch inventories are expensed into research and development. Post-FDA approval, manufacturing costs for the production of our products are being capitalized into inventory. We periodically review the composition of our inventories in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving, excess or otherwise unsaleable items. Unsaleable items will be written down to net realizable value in the period identified.

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values on the date of grant. Stock option grants are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and compensation costs are recognized ratably over the period of service using the graded method. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are valued based on the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock and recognized ratably over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are adjusted for as they occur.

We calculated the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are valued based on the estimated grant date fair value of our common stock. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including stock price volatility and the expected life of stock options. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are highly subjective, judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation cost. We have not paid and do not anticipate paying cash dividends. Therefore, the expected dividend rate is assumed to be 0%. The expected stock price volatility for stock option awards is based on our stock price volatility in the valuation model. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect commensurate with the expected life assumption. The average expected life of stock options was determined according to the “simplified method” as described in SAB Topic 110, which is the midpoint

46

between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to implied yields available from U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are adjusted for as they occur.

There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate stock-based compensation. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values. Although the fair value of employee stock-based awards is determined using an option pricing model, such a model value may not be indicative of the fair value that would be observed in a market transaction between a willing buyer and willing seller. If factors change and we employ different assumptions when valuing our options, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have historically reported.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We assess impairment of long-lived assets annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicates that their carrying value amount may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, net and goodwill and other intangible assets, net. Circumstances which could trigger a review include but are not limited to: (i) significant decreases in the market price of the asset; (ii) significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal or regulatory factors; (iii) or expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value.

Pursuant to the guidance under ASC 360, as of March 31, 2022, the undiscounted future cash flow did not indicated impairment of long-lived assets. However, as part of our realization of post-acquisition synergies and product prioritization, we have implemented a portfolio rationalization plan in our BioPharma segment whereby we will discontinue or divest five non-core products: Cefaclor Oral Suspension, Flexichamber, Tussionex, Tuzistra XR, and Zolpimist. As a result of this decision, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.9 million associated with the write-down of intangible assets of these products during the three and nine months ended March 31, 20202022.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. We typically complete our annual impairment test for goodwill using an assessment date in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Pursuant to the guidance under ASC 350, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more of our reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if we conclude otherwise, then we perform a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a combination of a market multiple and a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgment. The principal estimates and assumptions that we use include prospective financial information (revenue growth, operating margins and capital expenditures), future market conditions, weighted average costs of capital, a terminal growth rate, comparable multiples of publicly traded companies in our industry, and the earnings metrics and multiples utilized. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in impairment assessments are reasonable. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount of the difference. We have determined that we have two reporting units that require periodic review for goodwill impairment, the BioPharma segment and the Consumer Health segment.

47

During fiscal 2022, our market capitalization significantly declined. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the decline was $77.4 million. Thisconsidered a qualitative factor that led management to assess whether an impairment had occurred. Management’s evaluation indicated that the goodwill related to one of our reporting units within the BioPharma segment was primarilypotentially impaired. We performed a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and compared that amount to its carrying value. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies include, but were not limited to prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. The decline in market capitalization was an indicator of increased risk thereby increasing the discount rates in the valuation models. We determined the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the discounted cash flow model. As of September 30, 2021, utilizing the risk adjusted weighted-average discount rate, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. We recognized an impairment loss of $19.5 million in the BioPharma segment related to the (i) October 2019 Offering for gross proceedsgoodwill associated with the Cerecor Inc. acquisition.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the continued decline of $10.0 million, offsetour market capitalization was considered a qualitative factor that led management to reassess whether an impairment had occurred. Management’s evaluation indicated that the goodwill related to one of its reporting units within the BioPharma segment was potentially impaired. We performed a quantitative impairment test by calculating the offering costfair value of $0.7 million which was paid in cash; (ii) $49 million raisedthe reporting unit and compared that amount to its carrying value. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies include, but were not limited to prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. The decline in market capitalization was an indicator of increased risk thereby increasing the discount rates in the valuation models. we determined the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the discounted cash flow model. As of March 2020 Offerings, offset31, 2022, utilizing the risk adjusted weighted-average discount rate, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. We recognized an impairment loss of $37.7 million in the BioPharma segment related to the goodwill associated with the Neos Acquisition.

The Consumer Health segment, which has $8.6 million goodwill from the Innovus Acquisition, reported $2.2 million negative carrying value as of March 31, 2022, and as such there was no goodwill impairment related to the Consumer Health segment during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Contingent considerations

We classify contingent consideration liabilities related to business acquisitions within Level 3 as factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by offering costsmarket activity. We estimate the fair value of approximately $4.5 million,contingent consideration liabilities based on projected payment dates, discount rates, probabilities of payment, and (iii) $23.0 million raisedprojected revenues. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow methodology.

The fair value of the contingent value rights was based on a model in which each individual payout was deemed either (a) more likely than not to be paid out or (b) less likely than not to be paid out. From there, each obligation was then discounted at a 30% discount rate to reflect the overall risk to the contingent future payouts pursuant to the CVRs. This value is then re-measured for future expected payout as well as the result of warrant exercisesincrease in March 2020.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “variable interest entities.”

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Information regarding our Contractual Obligations and Commitments is contained in Note 10fair value due to the Financial Statements.time value of money. These gains or losses, if any, are included as a component of operating cash flows.

Fixed payment arrangements are comprised of minimum product payment obligations relating to either make whole payments or fixed minimum royalties arising from a business acquisition. The fixed payment arrangements were recognized at their amortized cost basis using a market appropriate discount rate and are accreted up to their ultimate face value over time. The liabilities related to fixed payment arrangements are not re-measured at each reporting period, unless we determine the circumstances have changed such that the fair value of these fixed payment obligations would have changed due to changes in company specific circumstances or interest rate environments.

Warrants

Equity classified warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes model. Liability classified warrants are accounted for by recording the fair value of each instrument in its entirety and recording the fair value of the warrant derivative

48

liability. The fair value of liability classified derivative financial instruments were calculated using a lattice valuation model. Changes in the fair value of liability classified derivative financial instruments in subsequent periods are recorded as derivative income or expense for the warrants and reported as a component of cash flows from operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are not currently exposed to material market risk arising from financial instruments, changes in interest rates or commodity prices, or fluctuations in foreign currencies. We have not identified a need to hedge against anysmaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the foregoing risksExchange Act and therefore currently engage in no hedging activities.are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and are operating in an effective manner.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, except as described below, known to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our assessment of in our internal controls over financial reporting excluded those processes or controls that exist at our Aytu Consumer Health reporting unit, which we acquired from the February 14, 2020. Those controls related to the Innovus Merger are being evaluated internally, and any changes as a result of that evaluation will be disclosed in future filings. 49

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

There have not been any material changes to our legal proceedings from those reported in our fiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2021.

Harris and Walker County. On March 7, 2018 and April 18, 2019, Neos received citations advising Neos that the County of Harris Texas (“Harris County”) and the County of Walker Texas (“Walker County”) filed lawsuits on December 13, 2017 and January 11, 2019, respectively, against Neos and various other alleged manufacturers, promoters, sellers and distributors of opioid pharmaceutical products. Through these lawsuits, each of Harris County and Walker County seek to recoup as damages some of the expenses they allegedly have incurred to combat opioid use and addiction. Each of Harris County and Walker County also seeks punitive damages, disgorgement of profits and attorneys’ fees.

Merger Action. On Between January 27, 2021 and February 25, 2021, nine lawsuits were filed related to the Neos Merger; on January 27, 2021, Wang v. Neos Therapeutics, Inc., et al., 1:21-cv-00095, was filed by purported Neos stockholder Elaine Wang against Neos and its directors in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; on January 29, 2021, Dupree v.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect ourOur business financial condition, cash flows, and/or future results. The risk factors in our Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additionalfaces significant risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. There are no additional risk factors other than those contained in our Annual Report.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures.

We utilize information technology, or IT, systems and networks to process, transmit and store electronic information in connection with our business activities. As use of digital technologies has increased, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access to computer systems and networks, have increased in frequency and sophistication. These threats pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in preventing cyber‑attacks or successfully mitigating their effects.

Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems and those of our contractors and consultants are vulnerable to damage from such cyber attacks, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war and telecommunication and electrical failures. Such an event could cause interruption of our operations. For example, the loss of data from completed clinical trials for our product candidates could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs. To the extent that any disruption or security breach were to result in a loss of or damage to our data, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could suffer reputational harm or face litigation or adverse regulatory action and the development of our product candidates could be delayed.

RISKS RELATED TO COMMERCIALIZATION

The design, development, manufacture, supply and distribution of our products and product candidates are highly regulated processes and technically complex.

We are subject to extensive regulation in connection with the preparation and manufacture of our products for commercial sale. Components of a finished therapeutic product approved for commercial sale or used in late‑stage clinical trials must be manufactured in accordance with cGMPs and equivalent foreign standards. These regulations govern manufacturing processes and procedures, including record keeping, and the implementation and operation of quality systems to control and assure the quality of investigational products and products approved for sale. Poor control of production processes can lead to the introduction of adventitious agents or other contaminants, or to inadvertent changes in the properties or stability of our products and product candidates that may not be detectable in final product testing. The development, manufacture, supply and distribution of our approved products as well as any of our future potential product candidates, are highly regulated processes and technically complex. We, along with our third‑party suppliers, must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements of the FDA and foreign authorities. For instance, because each of our attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”) products, generic Tussionex, Tuzistra XR, and ZolpiMist is a regulated drug product and subject to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) and state-level regulations, we have had to, and will continue to, need to secure state licenses from each state in which we intend to sell such product allowing us to distribute a regulated drug product in such state.

Regulatory authorities also may, at any time following approval of a product for sale, audit our manufacturing facilities. If any such inspection or audit identifies a failure to comply with applicable regulations or if a violation of our product specifications or applicable regulations occurs independent of such an inspection or audit, we or the relevant regulatory authority may require remedial measures that may be costly and/or time‑consuming for us to implement and that may include the temporary or permanent suspension of a clinical trial or commercial sales or the temporary or permanent closure of our facility. Any such remedial measures imposed upon us could materially harm our business. If we fail to maintain regulatory compliance, the FDA can impose regulatory sanctions including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug product or revocation of a pre‑existing approval. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially harmed.

We rely on limited sources of supply for our ADHD products and our generic Tussionex, and any disruption in the chain of supply may impact production and sales of our ADHD products and our generic Tussionex, and cause delays in developing and commercializing our product candidates and currently manufactured and commercialized products.

Our approved NDAs for our ADHD products, include our proposed manufacturing process for each product. Any change to our manufacturing process, facilities or suppliers could require that we supplement our approved NDA. Also, because of our proprietary processes for manufacturing our product candidates, we cannot immediately transfer manufacturing activities for our ADHD products or our generic Tussionex to an alternate supplier, and a change of facilities would be a time‑consuming and costly endeavor.

Any changes to our manufacturing process would involve substantial cost and could result in a delay in our desired clinical and commercial timelines. We are also reliant on a limited number of suppliers for resin, drug compounds, coating and other component substances of our final product candidates and products. If any of these single‑source suppliers were to breach or terminate its supply agreement, if any, with us or otherwise not supply us, we would need to identify an alternative source for the supply of component substances for our product candidates and products. Identifying an appropriately qualified source of alternative supply for any one or more of the component substances for our product candidates or products could be time consuming, and we may not be able to do so without incurring material delays in the development and commercialization of our approved products or product candidates or a decrease in sales of our approved products, which could harm our financial position and commercial potential for our product candidates and products. Any alternative vendor would also need to be qualified through an NDA supplement which could result in further delay, including delays related to additional clinical trials. The FDA, DEA, or other regulatory agencies outside of the United States may also require additional studies if we enter into agreements with new suppliers for the manufacture of our ADHD products and our generic Tussionex that differ from the suppliers used for clinical development of such product candidates.

These factors could cause the delay of clinical trials, regulatory submissions, required approvals or commercialization of our products and product candidates, cause us to incur higher costs and prevent us from commercializing them successfully. Furthermore, if our suppliers fail to deliver the required commercial quantities of components and APIs on a timely basis and at commercially reasonable prices, including if our suppliers did not receive adequate DEA quotas for the supply of certain scheduled components, and we are unable to secure one or more replacement suppliers capable of production at a substantially equivalent cost, commercialization of our ADHD products, our generic Tussionex and clinical trials of future potential product candidates, may be delayed or we could lose potential revenue and our business, financial condition, results of operation and reputation could be adversely affected.

If we fail to produce our products or product candidates in the volumes that are required on a timely basis, we may face penalties from wholesalers and contracted retailers of our products and delays in the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

We currently depend on third‑party suppliers for the supply of the APIs for our products and product candidates, including drug substance for nonclinical research, clinical trials and commercialization. For our ADHD products, our generic Tussionex and NT0502, our product candidate for sialorrhea, we currently rely on single suppliers for raw materials including APIs, which we use to manufacture, produce and package final dosage forms. In particular, we have an exclusive supply agreement with Coating Place, Inc. (“CPI”), pursuant to which CPI (i) is the exclusive supplier of the active ingredient complexes in our generic Tussionex and (ii) has agreed to not supply anyone else engaged in the production of generic Tussionex with such active ingredient complexes. Any future curtailment in the availability of raw materials could result in production or other delays with consequent adverse effects on us. In addition, because regulatory authorities must generally approve raw material sources for pharmaceutical products, changes in raw material suppliers may result in production delays or higher raw material costs. We are subject to penalties from wholesalers and contracted retailers if we do not deliver our generic Tussionex and ADHD products in quantities that meet their demand. Any such delays could trigger these penalty provisions, which would have a negative impact on our business.

If we fail to manufacture our ADHD in sufficient quantities and at acceptable quality and pricing levels, or fail to obtain adequate DEA quotas for controlled substances, or to fully comply with cGMP regulations, we may face delays in the commercialization of these products or our product candidates, if approved, or be unable to meet market demand, and may be unable to generate potential revenues.

The manufacture of pharmaceutical products requires significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of advanced manufacturing techniques and process controls, and the use of specialized processing equipment. Pharmaceutical companies often encounter difficulties in manufacturing, particularly in scaling up production of their products. These problems include manufacturing difficulties relating to production costs and yields, quality control, including stability of the product and quality assurance testing, shortages of qualified personnel, as well as compliance with federal, state and foreign regulations. If we are unable to demonstrate stability in accordance with commercial requirements, or if our raw material manufacturers were to encounter difficulties or otherwise fail to comply with their obligations to us, our ability to obtain FDA approval and market our products and product candidates would be jeopardized. In addition, any delay or interruption in the supply of clinical trial supplies could delay or prohibit the completion of our clinical trials, increase the costs associated with conducting our clinical trials and, depending upon the period of delay, require us to commence new trials at significant additional expense or to terminate a trial. We purchase raw materials and components from various suppliers in order to manufacture our ADHD products. If we are unable to source the required raw materials from our suppliers, or if we do not obtain DEA quotas or receive inadequate DEA quotas, we may experience delays in manufacturing our ADHD products, and may not be able to meet our customers’ demands for our products.

In addition, we must comply with federal, state and foreign regulations, including cGMP requirements enforced by the FDA through its facilities inspection program. These requirements include, among other things, quality control, quality assurance and the maintenance of records and documentation. We may be unable to comply with these cGMP requirements and with other FDA and foreign regulatory requirements. A failure to comply with these requirements may result in fines and civil penalties, suspension of production, suspension or delay in product approval, product seizure or voluntary recall, or withdrawal of product approval. If the safety of any of our products or product candidates is compromised due to failure to adhere to applicable laws or for other reasons, we may not be able to obtain, or to maintain once obtained, regulatory approval for such products or product candidates or successfully commercialize such products or product candidates, and we may be held liable for any injuries sustained as a result. Any of these factors could cause a delay in clinical development, regulatory submissions, approvals or commercialization of our products or product candidates, entail higher costs or result in our being unable to effectively commercialize our products or product candidates. Any manufacturing defect or error discovered after products have been produced and distributed could result in even more significant consequences, including costly recall procedures, re-stocking costs, damage to our reputation and potential for product liability claims.

Our Grand Prairie facility was formerly operated by our predecessor, PharmaFab, Inc., or PharmaFab. In April 2007, the FDA announced entry of a Consent Decree of Permanent Injunction, or the Consent Decree, against PharmaFab, one of its subsidiaries and two of its officials. The Consent Decree arose out of several perceived cGMP deficiencies related to the manufacture of unapproved drugs or Drug Efficacy Study Implementation drugs that we no longer manufacture. In July 2019, we filed a motion with the U.S. District Court of North Texas to vacate the Consent Decree, which was unopposed by the Department of Justice and the FDA and was granted by the court on July 11, 2019. While the Consent Decree has been vacated, there can be no assurance that we will not become subject to similar orders in the future, which may result in us continuing to expend resources and attention to observe its terms, and there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance with its requirements.

If our sole manufacturing facility becomes damaged or inoperable or we decide to or are required to vacate our facility, our ability to manufacture our ADHD products, our generic Tussionex or future potential product candidates for clinical development, may be jeopardized. Our inability to continue manufacturing adequate supplies of our products could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

All of our manufacturing capabilities are housed in our sole manufacturing facility located in Grand Prairie, Texas. Our facility and equipment could be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man‑made disasters, including war, fire, tornado, power loss, communications failure or terrorism, any of which may render it difficult or impossible for us to operate our drug delivery technology platform and manufacture our product candidates or products for some period of time. While we seek to maintain finished goods inventory of our products outside of this facility, it is unlikely that the level of such inventory would be sufficient if we were to sustain anything other than a short-term disruption in our ability to manufacture our products and product candidates at our Grand Prairie, Texas facility. The inability to manufacture our products and product candidates if our facility or our equipment is inoperable, for even a short period of time, may result in the loss of customers or harm to our reputation, and we may be unable to regain those customers or repair our reputation in the future. Furthermore, our facility and the equipment we use to manufacture our products and product candidates could become damaged and time‑consuming to repair or replace. It would be difficult, time‑consuming and expensive to rebuild our facility or repair or replace our equipment or license or transfer our proprietary technology to a third‑party, particularly in light of the requirements for a DEA‑registered manufacturing and storage facility like ours. If we decide to or are required to change or add a new manufacturer or supplier, the process would likely require prior FDA, DEA and/or equivalent foreign regulatory authority approval, and would be time consuming and costly. Even in the event we are able to find a third party with such qualifications to enable us to manufacture our products or product candidates, we may be unable to negotiate commercially reasonable terms.

We carry insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business, but this insurance may not cover all of the risks associated with damage or disruption to our business, may not provide coverage in amounts sufficient to cover our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. An inability to continue manufacturing adequate supplies of our ADHD products or our generic Tussionex at our Grand Prairie, Texas facility could result in a disruption in the supply of our products to physicians and pharmacies, which would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

Amphetamine, methylphenidate and hydrocodone are ScheduleII controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act, and any failure to comply with this Act or its state equivalents would have a negative impact on our business.

Amphetamine, methylphenidate and hydrocodone, which are the active ingredients in our Adzenys XR-ODT, Adzenys ER, Cotempla XR-ODT and generic Tussionex products, are listed by the DEA as a Schedule II controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). The DEA classifies substances as Schedule I, II, III, IV or V controlled substances, with Schedule I controlled substances considered to present the highest risk of substance abuse and Schedule V controlled substances the lowest risk. Scheduled controlled substances are subject to DEA regulations relating to supply, procurement, manufacturing, storage, distribution and physician prescription procedures. For example, Schedule II controlled substances are subject to various restrictions, including, but not limited to, mandatory written prescriptions and the prohibition of refills. In addition to federal scheduling, some drugs may be subject to state‑controlled substance laws and regulations and more extensive requirements than those determined by the DEA and FDA. Though state controlled substances laws often mirror federal law, because the states are separate jurisdictions, they may schedule products separately. While some states automatically schedule a drug when the DEA does so, other states require additional state rulemaking or legislative action, which could delay commercialization. Some state and local governments also require manufacturers to operate a drug stewardship program that collects, secures, transports and safely disposes of unwanted drugs.

Entities must register annually with the DEA to manufacture, distribute, dispense, import, export and conduct research using controlled substances. In addition, the DEA requires entities handling controlled substances to maintain records and file reports, including those for thefts or losses of any controlled substances, and to obtain authorization to destroy any controlled substances.

Registered entities are subject to DEA inspection and also must follow specific labeling and packaging requirements, and provide appropriate security measures to control against diversion of controlled substances. Security requirements vary by controlled substance schedule with the most stringent requirements applying to Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances. Required security measures include background checks on employees and physical control of inventory through measures such as vaults and inventory reconciliations. Failure to follow these requirements can lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and possibly even lead to a revocation of a DEA registration. The DEA also has a production and procurement quota system that controls and limits the availability and production of Schedule I or II controlled substances. If we or any of our suppliers of raw materials that are DEA‑classified as Schedule I or II controlled substances are unable to receive any quota or a sufficient quota to meet demand for our products, if any, our business would be negatively impacted.

Public concern over the abuse of medications that are controlled substances, including increased legislative, legal and regulatory action, could negatively affect our business.

Products containing controlled substances may generate public controversy. Certain governmental and regulatory agencies, as well as state and local jurisdictions, are focused on the abuse of controlled substances such as opioids in the United States. State and local governmental agencies have commenced investigations into pharmaceutical companies and others in the supply chain in connection with the distribution of opioid medications. For example, on March 7, 2018 and April 18, 2019, we received citations advising us that the County of Harris Texas and the County of Walker Texas filed lawsuits on December 13, 2017 and January 11, 2019, respectively, against us and various other alleged manufacturers, promoters, sellers and distributors of opioid pharmaceutical products. Through these lawsuits, each of Harris County and Walker County seek to recoup as damages some of the expenses they allegedly have incurred to combat opioid use and addiction. Each of Harris County and Walker County also seeks punitive damages, disgorgement of profits and attorneys’ fees. In addition, multiple lawsuits have been filed against pharmaceutical companies alleging, among other claims, failures to provide effective controls and procedures to guard against the diversion of controlled substances, negligence by distributing controlled substances to pharmacies that serve individuals who abuse controlled substances, and failures to report suspicious orders of controlled substances in accordance with regulations. Certain of these cases have recently been settled, some for hundreds of millions of dollars. In the future, political pressures and adverse publicity could lead to delays in, and increased expenses for, and limit or restrict, the introduction and marketing of our product or product candidates, the withdrawal of currently approved products from the market, or result in other legal action.

In addition, we are aware of other legislative, regulatory or industry measures to address the misuse of prescription opioid medications which could affect our business in ways that we may not be able to predict. For example, the State of New York has undertaken efforts to create an annual surcharge on all manufacturers and distributors licensed to sell or distribute opioids in New York, as well as a tax on sales of opioids in the state. Other states have implemented and are also considering legislation that could require us to pay taxes, licensing fees, or assessments on the distribution of opioid medications in those states. These laws and proposed bills vary in the amounts and the means of calculation. Liabilities for taxes or assessments under any such laws will likely have an adverse impact on our results of operations, unless we are able to mitigate them through operational changes or commercial arrangements where permitted and may result in us ceasing to continue to sell our products in these jurisdictions.

Product liability lawsuits could divert our resources, result in substantial liabilities and reduce the commercial potential of our products.

The risk that we may be sued on product liability claims is inherent in the development of pharmaceutical products. We face a risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of our product candidates in clinical trials and face even greater risks related to the commercialization of our products and upon any commercialization by us of our future products and, if approved, our product candidates, such as claims related to opioid abuse. For example, on March 7, 2018, we received a citation advising us that the County of Harris Texas filed a lawsuit on December 13, 2017 against us and various other alleged manufacturers, promoters, sellers and distributors of opioid pharmaceutical products. On April 18, 2019, we received a citation advising us that the County of Walker Texas filed a lawsuit on January 11, 2019 against us and various other alleged manufacturers, promoters, sellers and distributors of opioid pharmaceutical products. These lawsuits may divert our management from pursuing our business strategy and may be costly to defend. In addition, if we are held liable in any of these lawsuits, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be forced to limit or forego further commercialization of one or more of our products.

Our product liability insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover any and all liabilities that we may incur.

We currently carry product liability insurance coverage, although aggregate limits may not be adequate to cover any and all liabilities that we may incur. Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive and difficult to obtain. We may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in an amount adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise. Large judgments have been awarded in class action lawsuits based on drugs that had unanticipated side effects. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us, particularly if judgments exceed our insurance coverage, could decrease our cash and adversely affect our business. In addition, we may not be able to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or otherwise to protect against potential product liability claims, which could prevent or inhibit the commercial production and sale of our products. For example, we have experienced increasing difficulty in procuring insurance coverage for our products, in particular, our opioid‑based product, due to their status as controlled substances.

GENERAL RISK FACTORS

Our business may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. It has since spread to multiple other countries and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic has adversely affected or has the potential to adversely affect, among other things, the economic and financial markets and labor resources of the countries in which we operate, our manufacturing and supply chain operations, research and development efforts, commercial operations and sales force, administrative personnel, third-party service providers, business partners and customers, and the demand for some of our marketed products.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in travel and other restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease, including governmental orders across the globe, which, among other things, direct individuals to shelter at their places of residence, direct businesses and governmental agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations, prohibit certain non-essential gatherings, maintain social distancing, and order cessation of non-essential travel. As a result of these recent developments, we have implemented work-from-home policies for a significant part of our employees. The effects of shelter-in-place and social distancing orders, government-imposed quarantines, and work-from-home policies Certain important factors may negatively impact productivity, disrupt our business, and delay our business timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. Such restrictions and limitations may also negatively impact our access to regulatory authorities (which may be affected, among other things, by travel restrictions and may be delayed in responding to inquiries, reviewing filings, and conducting inspections). The COVID-19 pandemic may also result in the loss of some of our key personnel, either temporarily or permanently. In addition, our sales and marketing efforts may be impacted by postponement of face-to-face meetings and restrictions on access by non-essential personnel to hospitals or clinics, all of which could slow adoption and implementation of our marketed products, resulting in lower net product sales. For example, while the impact of shelter-in-place and social distancing orders, physicians' office closures, and delays in the treatment of patients following the COVID-19 pandemic on our net product sales of our products for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was limited, overall demand was lower in April 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. In addition to other potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on net product sales, we expect to see continued adverse impact on new patient starts for all products while these measures remain in place. Demand for some or all of our marketed products may continue to be reduced while the shelter-in-place or social distancing orders are in effect and, as a result, some of our inventory may become obsolete and may need to be written off, impacting our operating results. These and similar, and perhaps more severe, disruptions in our operations may materially adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Quarantines, shelter-in-place, social distancing, and similar government orders (or the perception that such orders, shutdowns, or other restrictions on the conduct of business operations could occur) related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases are impacting personnel at our research and manufacturing facilities, our suppliers, and other third parties on which we rely, and may impact the availability or cost of materials produced by or purchased from such parties, which could result in a disruption in our supply chain.

In addition, infections and deaths related to COVID-19 may disrupt the United States' healthcare and healthcare regulatory systems. Such disruptions could divert healthcare resources away from, or materially delay, FDA review and potential approval of our marketed products. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue. Further, while we are focused on therapies to address the COVID-19 pandemic, our other product candidates may need to be de-prioritized. Any elongation or de-prioritization of our other products could materially affect our business.

While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, it is currently resulting in significant disruption of global financial markets. This disruption, if sustained or recurrent, could make it more difficult for us to access capital if needed. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The ultimate impact of this pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, healthcare systems, or the global economy as a whole. These effects could have a material impact on our operations. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, prospects, operating results, or financial condition.     

Legislative or regulatory reform of the health care system in the United States may adversely impact our business, operations or financial results.

Our industry is highly regulated and changes in law may adversely impact our business, operations or financial results. In particular, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively the “Affordable Care Act” or “ACA”), was signed into law. This legislation changes the current system of healthcare insurance and benefits intended to broaden coverage and control costs. The law also contains provisions that will affect companies in the pharmaceutical industry and other healthcare related industries by imposing additional costs and changes to business practices. Provisions affecting pharmaceutical companies include the following:

mandatory rebates for drugs sold into the Medicaid program have been increased, and the rebate requirement has been extended to drugs used in risk based Medicaid managed care plans.

the 340B Drug Pricing Program under the Public Health Service Act has been extended to require mandatory discounts for drug products sold to certain critical access hospitals, cancer hospitals and other covered entities.

pharmaceutical companies are required to offer discounts on branded drugs to patients who fall within the Medicare Part D coverage gap, commonly referred to as the “Donut Hole."

pharmaceutical companies are required to pay an annual non tax deductible fee to the federal government based on each company’s market share of prior year total sales of branded drugs to certain federal healthcare programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense.

Despite initiatives to invalidate the ACA, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld certain key aspects of the legislation, including a tax-based shared responsibility payment imposed on certain individuals who fail to maintain qualifying health coverage for all or part of a year, which is commonly referred to as the “individual mandate.” However, as a result of tax reform legislation passed in December 2017, the individual mandate has been eliminated effective January 1, 2019. On December 14, 2018, a U.S. District Court judge in the Northern District of Texas ruled that the individual mandate portion of the ACA is an essential and inseverable feature of the ACA, and therefore because the mandate was repealed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the remaining provisions of the ACA are invalid as well. The Trump administration and CMS have both stated that the ruling will have no immediate effect, and on December 30, 2018, the same judge issued an order staying the judgment pending appeal. On December 18, 2019, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, and remanded the case to the lower court to reconsider its earlier invalidation of the full ACA. Pending review, it is unclear what effect the latest ruling will have on the status of the ACA. Litigation and legislation over the ACA are likely to continue, with unpredictable and uncertain results. We will continue to evaluate the effect that the ACA and its possible repeal and replacement has on our business.

In addition, since January 2017, President Trump has signed two Executive Orders designed to delay the implementation of certain provisions of the ACA or otherwise circumvent some of the requirements for health insurance mandated by the ACA. Further, the Trump administration has concluded that cost‑sharing reduction, or CSR, payments to insurance companies required under the ACA have not received necessary appropriations from Congress and announced that it would discontinue these payments immediately until such appropriations are made. The loss of the CSR payments is expected to increase premiums on certain policies issued by qualified health plans under the ACA. Several state Attorneys General filed suit to stop the administration from terminating the subsidies, but their request for a restraining order was denied by a federal judge in California on October 25, 2017 and again on July 18, 2018. Furthermore, on June 14, 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the federal government was not required to pay more than $12 billion in ACA risk corridor payments to third‑party payors who argued were owed to them. On December 10, 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Moda Health Plan, Inc. v. United States, which will determine whether the government must make risk corridor payments. On April 27, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that ACA requires the federal government to compensate insurers for significant losses their health plans incurred during the first three years of the Act’s marketplaces, and that insurers can sue for nonpayment in the Court of Federal Claims. The effects of a potential future gap in reimbursement on third party payors, the viability of the ACA marketplace, providers, and potentially our business, are not yet known. In December 2018, CMS published a final rule permitting further collections and payments to and from certain ACA qualified health plans and health insurance issuers under the ACA risk adjustment program in response to the outcome of the federal district court litigation regarding the method CMS uses to determine this risk adjustment.

Moreover, on January 22, 2018, President Trump signed a continuing resolution on appropriations for fiscal year 2018 that delayed the implementation of certain ACA-mandated fees, including the so called “Cadillac” tax on certain high cost employer-sponsored insurance plans, the annual fee imposed on certain health insurance providers based on market share, and the medical device excise tax on non-exempt medical devices; however, on December 20, 2019, President Trump signed into law the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 1865), which repeals the Cadillac tax, the health insurance provider tax, and the medical device excise tax. It is impossible to determine whether similar taxes could be instated in the future.

In 2021, Congress may consider other legislation to repeal and replace elements of the ACA, and litigation and legislation over the ACA are likely to continue, with unpredictable and uncertain results. Changes to the ACA or other existing health care regulations could significantly impact our business and the pharmaceutical industry. Although it is too early to determine the effect of legal challenges, pending legislation, and executive action on the ACA, the law appears likely to continue the pressure on pharmaceutical pricing, especially under the Medicare program, and may also increase our regulatory burdens and operating costs.

Additionally, other federal health reform measures have been proposed and adopted in the United States since the ACA was enacted:

the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, created measures for spending reductions by Congress. A Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, tasked with recommending a targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, was unable to reach required goals, thereby triggering the legislation’s automatic reduction to several government programs. These changes included aggregate reductions of Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year, which went into effect in April 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2027 unless additional Congressional action is taken.

the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years.

The Right to Try Act of 2018 provides a federal framework for certain patients to access certain investigational new drug products that have completed a Phase I clinical trial and that are undergoing investigation for FDA approval. Under certain circumstances, eligible patients can seek treatment without enrolling in clinical trials and without obtaining FDA permission under the FDA expanded access program. There is no obligation for a drug manufacturer to make its drug products available to eligible patients as a result of the Right to Try Act, but the manufacturer should develop an internal policy and respond to patient requests according to that policy.

Further, there has been heightened governmental scrutiny over the manner in which manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which have resulted in several recent Congressional inquiries and proposed bills designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for products. In addition, the United States government, state legislatures, and foreign governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost containment programs, including price-controls, restrictions on reimbursement and requirements for substitution of generic products for branded prescription drugs to limit the growth of government paid health care costs. Individual states in the United States have become increasingly aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing.

At the federal level, the Trump Administration’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2020 contains further drug price control measures that could be enacted during the 2020 budget process or in other future legislation, including, for example, measures to permit Medicare Part D plans to negotiate the price of certain drugs under Medicare Part B, to allow some states to negotiate drug prices under Medicaid, and to eliminate cost sharing for generic drugs for low-income patients. Additionally, the Trump Administration released a “Blueprint” to lower drug prices and reduce out of pocket costs of drugs that contains additional proposals to increase manufacturer competition, increase the negotiating power of certain federal healthcare programs, incentivize manufacturers to lower the list price of their products and reduce the out of pocket costs of drug products paid by consumers. HHS has already started the process of soliciting feedback on some of these measures and, at the same time, is immediately implementing others under its existing authority. Additionally, in December 2019, the FDA issued a draft guidance document outlining a potential pathway for manufacturers to obtain an additional National Drug Code, or NDC, for an FDA-approved drug that was originally intended to be marketed in a foreign country and that was authorized for sale in that foreign country. The regulatory and market implications of the draft guidance, if finalized, is unknown at this time. Proponents of drug reimportation may attempt to pass legislation that would directly allow reimportation under certain circumstances. Legislation or regulations allowing the reimportation of drugs, if enacted, could decrease the price we receive for any products that we may develop and adversely affect our future revenues and prospects for profitability. Further, Congress and the Trump Administration have each indicated that it will continue to seek new legislative and/or administrative measures to control drug costs. For example, on September 25, 2019, the Senate Finance Committee introduced the Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act of 2019, a bill intended to reduce Medicare and Medicaid prescription drug prices. The proposed legislation would restructure the Part D benefit, modify payment methodologies for certain drugs, and impose an inflation cap on drug price increases. An even more restrictive bill, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act of 2019, was introduced in the House of Representatives on September 19, 2019, and would require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to directly negotiate drug prices with manufacturers. The Lower Drugs Costs Now Act of 2019 has passed out of the House and was delivered to the Senate on December 16, 2019. However, it is unclear whether either of these bills will make it through both chambers and be signed into law, and if either is enacted, what effect it would have on our business. At the state level, legislatures have become increasingly active in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, have been designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. We anticipate pricing scrutiny will continue and escalate, including on a global basis. As a result, our business and reputation may be harmed, our stock price may be adversely impacted and experience periods of volatility, and our results of operations may be adversely impacted.

CMS may also develop new payment and delivery models, such as bundled payment models. CMS finalized regulations that give states greater flexibility in setting benchmarks for insurers in the individual and small group marketplaces, which may have the effect of relaxing the essential health benefits required under the ACA for plans sold through such marketplaces. Additionally, CMS finalized a rule that amends the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit regulations to reduce out of pocket costs for plan enrollees and allow Medicare plans to negotiate lower rates for certain drugs. In May 2019, CMS issued a final rule to allow Medicare Advantage Plans the option of using step therapy, a type of prior authorization, for Part B drugs beginning January 1, 2020. This final rule codified CMS’s policy change that was effective January 1, 2019. CMS is still considering proposed changes to the definition of “negotiated prices” in the regulations. It is unclear what effect such changes will have on our business and ability to receive adequate reimbursement for our products.

In addition, in September 2007, the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 was enacted giving the FDA enhanced post-marketing authority including the authority to require post-marketing studies and clinical trials, labeling changes based on new safety information and compliance with REMS approved by the FDA. The FDA’s exercise of this authority could result in delays or increased costs during product development, clinical trials and regulatory review, increased costs to ensure compliance with post-approval regulatory requirements and potential restrictions on the sale and/or distribution of approved products.

Moreover, we cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal and state legislative and regulatory developments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives in the United States to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenues from product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition and ability to develop product candidates.

Inadequate funding for the FDA, and other government agencies could prevent our new products, services and product candidates from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing normal business functions on which the operation of our business may rely, which could negatively impact our business.

The ability of the FDA to review and approve new products can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, ability to hire and retain key personnel and accept the payment of user fees, and statutory, regulatory, and policy changes. Average review times at the agency have fluctuated in recent years as a result. In addition, government funding of government agencies on which our operations may rely, including those that fund research and development activities is subject to the political process, which is inherently fluid and unpredictable.

46

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for new drugs to be reviewed and/or approved by necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business. Any government shutdown or other disruption of normal activities at these regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, could lead to a delay or stop in critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown were to occur, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our Enzastaurinproductcandidate is being developed for other indications by other sponsors.Any undesirableadverseevents that occur in relation to the activities by other sponsors could delay or prevent our regulatory approval, limit the commercial profile of Enzastaurin, or result in significant negative consequences following any regulatory approval.

Undesirable adverse events that occur in relation to the activities by other sponsors related to our Enzastaurin product candidate could cause us or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay or halt development or could result in the delay or denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other comparable regulatory authorities.  Drug-related adverse events involving Enzastaurin by other sponsors could also harm our reputation, business, financial condition and business prospects.

Additionally, if Enzastaurin receives regulatory approval, and we or others later identify undesirable side effects caused by such drugs, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including but not limited to:

suspending the marketing of the drug;

having regulatory authorities withdraw approvals of the drug;

adding warnings on the label;

conducting post-market studies;

being sued and held liable for harm caused to subjects or patients; and

damage to our reputation.

Any of these events could prevent us from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of Enzastaurin, if approved, and could significantly harm our business, results of operations and prospects.

We may seek Orphan Drug Designation or other designations for our product candidates, but even if designated we may not ultimately realize the potential benefits of such designations.

We may seek Orphan Drug Designation or other designations for our product candidates from the FDA. Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a drug product as an orphan drug if it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition, defined as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 in the United States, or a patient population greater than 200,000 in the United States but where there is no reasonable expectation to recover the costs of developing and marketing a treatment drug in the United States. In the United States, orphan drug designation entitles a party to financial incentives such as opportunities for grant funding towards clinical trial costs, tax advantages, and application fee waivers. After the FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation, the generic identity of the drug and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA. However, Orphan Drug Designation nor any other designation shortens the development time nor regulatory review time of a product candidate nor gives the candidate any advantage in the regulatory review or approval process.

In addition, if a product receives the first FDA approval for the indication for which it has orphan designation, the product is entitled to orphan drug exclusivity, which means the FDA may not approve any other application to market the same drug for the same indication for a period of seven years, except in limited circumstances, such as a demonstration of clinical superiority over the product with orphan exclusivity or where the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient product quantity for the orphan patient population. Exclusive marketing rights in the United States may also be unavailable if we or our collaborators seek approval for an indication broader than the orphan designated indication and may be lost if the FDA later determines that the request for designation was materially defective. Even if we obtain Orphan Drug Designation, we may not be the first to obtain marketing approval for any particular orphan indication due to the uncertainties associated with developing pharmaceutical products. Further, even if we obtain orphan drug exclusivity for a product candidate, that exclusivity may not effectively protect the product from competition because different drugs can be approved for the same condition. Even after an orphan drug is approved, the FDA can subsequently approve the same drug for the same condition if the FDA concludes that the later drug is clinically superior in that it is safer, more effective, or makes a major contribution to patient care.

47

We may never realize the expected benefits from the divestiture of Natesto.

The divestiture of Natesto is part of a strategy to transform ourselves into a high growth, specialty pharmaceutical company. If we are unable to achieve our growth and profitability objectives due to competition, lack of acceptance of our products, failure to generate favorable clinical data or gain regulatory approvals, or other risks as described in this section, or due to other events, we will not be successful in transforming our business and may not see the appropriate market valuation. Moreover, Natesto generated substantial revenue historically which we may not be able to replace. While over time we expect to replace this revenue by investing in, acquiring and accelerating other revenue streams, there is a risk we will be unable to replace the revenue that Natesto generated, or that the cost of such will be higher than expected. In addition, we may not ultimately receive the full benefits from the divestiture over the term as expected. If we are unable to achieve our growth objectives, such failure will be exacerbated by the loss of revenue generated by Natesto, and could materially impact our financial position and results of operations, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

Clinical drug development is a lengthy and expensive process with uncertain timelines and uncertain outcomes. If clinical trials of any future therapeutic candidates are prolonged or delayed, we or our current or future collaborators may be unable to obtain required regulatory approvals, and therefore we will be unable to commercialize our future therapeutic candidates on a timely basis or at all, which will adversely affect our business.

Clinical testing is expensive and can take many years to complete, and its outcome is inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process and our future clinical trial results may not be successful. We may experience delays in initiating or completing our clinical trials. We may also experience numerous unforeseen events during our clinical trials that could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing approval or commercialize any future therapeutic candidates.

Our clinical trials may fail to demonstrate substantial evidence of the safety and effectiveness of future product candidates that we may identify and pursue, which would prevent, delay or limit the scope of regulatory approval and commercialization.

Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of future therapeutic candidates, we must demonstrate through lengthy, complex and expensive nonclinical studies, preclinical studies and clinical trials that the applicable therapeutic candidate is both safe and effective for use in each target indication. A therapeutic candidate must demonstrate an adequate risk versus benefit profile in its intended patient population and for its intended use.

Clinical testing is expensive and can take many years to complete, and its outcome is inherently uncertain. Most product candidates that begin clinical trials are never approved by regulatory authorities for commercialization. We have limited experience in designing clinical trials and may be unable to design and execute a clinical trial to support marketing approval.

We cannot be certain that any clinical trials will be successful. In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same therapeutic candidate due to numerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherence to the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants.

Even if any of our future therapeutic candidates obtain regulatory approval, we will be subject to ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense. Additionally, any such therapeutic candidates, if approved, could be subject to labeling and other restrictions and market withdrawal, and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or experience unanticipated problems with any of our future therapeutic candidates.

If the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority approves any of our future therapeutic candidates, the manufacturing processes, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion and recordkeeping for the therapy and underlying therapeutic substance will be subject to extensive and ongoing regulatory requirements. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration, as well as continued compliance with current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) and with good clinical practice (“GCP”) for any clinical trials that we conduct post-approval, all of which may result in significant expense and limit our ability to commercialize such therapies. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with any approved therapeutic candidate, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with our third-party manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in, among other things:

restrictions on the labeling, distribution, marketing or manufacturing of our future therapeutic candidates, withdrawal of the product from the market, or product recalls;

untitled and warning letters, or holds on clinical trials;

refusal by the FDA or other foreign regulatory body to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications we filed or suspension or revocation of license approvals;

requirements to conduct post-marketing studies or clinical trials;

48

restrictions on coverage by third-party payors;

fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;
suspension or withdrawal of marketing approvals:
product seizure or detention, or refusal to permit the import or export of the product; and
injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

In addition, any regulatory approvals that we receive for our future therapeutic candidates may also be subject to limitations on the approved indicated uses for which the therapy may be marketed or to the conditions of approval, or contain requirements for potentially costly post-marketing testing, including Phase IV clinical trials, and surveillance to monitor the safety and efficacy of such therapeutic candidates.

If there are changes in the application of legislation, regulations or regulatory policies or if we or one of our distributors, licensees or co-marketers fails to comply with regulatory requirements, the regulators could take various actions. These include imposing fines on us, imposing restrictions on the therapeutic or its manufacture and requiring us to recall or remove the therapeutic from the market. The regulators could also suspend or withdraw our marketing authorizations, requiring us to conduct additional clinical trials, change our therapeutic labeling or submit additional applications for marketing authorization. If any of these events occurs, our ability to sell such therapy may be impaired, and we may incur substantial additional expense to comply with regulatory requirements, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The results of preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials of our future therapeutic candidates may not be predictive of the results of later stage clinical trials. Initial success in our ongoing clinical trials may not be indicative of results obtained when these trials are completed or in later stage trials.

Therapeutic candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical trials. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of our clinical trials will ultimately be successful or support further clinical development of any of our future therapeutic candidates. There is a high failure rate for drugs proceeding through clinical trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in clinical development even after achieving promising results in earlier studies.

We will depend on enrollment of patients in our clinical trials for our future therapeutic candidates. If we are unable to enroll patients in our clinical trials, our research and development efforts and business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Identifying and qualifying patients to participate in our clinical trials will be critical to our success. Patient enrollment depends on many factors, including:

the size of the patient population required for analysis of the trial’s primary endpoints and the process for identifying patients;

identifying and enrolling eligible patients, including those willing to discontinue use of their existing medications;

the design of the clinical protocol and the patient eligibility and exclusion criteria for the trial;

safety profile, to date, of the therapeutic candidate under study;

the willingness or availability of patients to participate in our trials, including due to the perceived risks and benefits, stigma or other side effects of use of a controlled substance;

perceived risks and benefits of our approach to treatment of indication;
the proximity of patients to clinical sites:
our ability to recruit clinical trial investigators with the appropriate competencies and experience;
the availability of competing clinical trials;

49

the availability of new drugs approved for the indication the clinical trial is investigating;
clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions of the potential advantages of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies, including any new therapies that may be approved for the indications we are investigating; and
our ability to obtain and maintain patient informed consents.

Even once enrolled, we may be unable to retain a sufficient number of patients to complete any of our trials.

In addition, any negative results we may report in clinical trials may make it difficult or impossible to recruit and retain patients in other clinical trials of that same therapeutic candidate. Delays in the enrollment for any clinical trial will likely increase our costs, slow down the approval process and delay or potentially jeopardize our ability to commence sales of our future therapeutic candidates and generate revenue. In addition, some of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of any future therapeutic candidates.

The future commercial success of our future therapeutic candidates will depend on the degree of market access and acceptance of our potential therapies among healthcare professionals, patients, healthcare payors, health technology assessment bodies and the medical community at large.

We may never have a therapy that is commercially successful. To date, we have no therapy authorized for marketing. Furthermore, if approved, our future therapies may not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by payors, health technology assessment bodies, healthcare professionals, patients and the medical community at large, and we may not become profitable. The level of acceptance we ultimately achieve may be affected by negative public perceptions and historic media coverage of psychedelic substances, including psilocybin. Because of this history, efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors and health technologies assessment bodies on the benefits of our future therapies may require significant resources and may never be successful, which would prevent us from generating significant revenue or becoming profitable. Market acceptance of our future therapies by healthcare professionals, patients, healthcare payors and health technology assessment bodies will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the following:

��

acceptance by healthcare professionals, patients and healthcare payors of each therapy as safe, effective and cost-effective;

changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for any therapeutic candidate;

the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;

potential product liability claims;

the therapeutic candidate’s relative convenience, ease of use, ease of administration and other perceived advantages over alternative therapies;

the prevalence and severity of adverse events or publicity;
limitations, precautions or warnings listed in the summary of therapeutic characteristics, patient information leaflet, package labeling or instructions for use:
the cost of treatment with our therapy in relation to alternative treatments;
the ability to manufacture our product in sufficient quantities and yields;
the availability and amount of coverage and reimbursement from healthcare payors, and the willingness of patients to pay out of pocket in the absence of healthcare payor coverage or adequate reimbursement;
the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of healthcare professionals to prescribe, the therapy;
any potential unfavorable publicity, including negative publicity associated with recreational use or abuse of psilocybin;
the extent to which therapies are approved for inclusion and reimbursed on formularies of hospitals and managed care organizations; and
whether our therapies are designated under physician treatment guidelines or under reimbursement guidelines as a first-line, second-line, third-line or last-line therapy.

If our future therapeutic candidates fail to gain market access and acceptance, this will have a material adverse impact on our ability to generate revenue to provide a satisfactory, or any, return on our investments. Even if some therapies achieve market access and acceptance, the market may prove not to be large enough to allow us to generate significant revenue.

50

Changes in methods of therapeutic candidate or commercial product manufacturing or formulation may result in additional costs or delay.

As therapeutic candidates are developed through preclinical studies to late-stage clinical trials towards potential approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods and formulation, may be altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Any of these changes could cause any of our current products or future therapeutic candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials conducted with the materials manufactured using altered processes. Such changes may also require additional testing, FDA notification or FDA approval. This could delay completion of clinical trials, require the conduct of bridging clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of any of our future therapeutic candidates and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenue.

We may become exposed to costly and damaging liability claims, either when testing our future therapeutic candidates in the clinic or at the commercial stage, and our product liability insurance may not cover all damages from such claims.

We will be exposed to potential product liability and professional indemnity risks that are inherent in the research, development, manufacturing, marketing and use of therapeutic candidates. Any failure of future therapeutic candidates by us and our corporate collaborators in clinical trials may expose us to liability claims as may the potential sale of any therapies approved in the future. These claims might be made by patients who use our therapies, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, our corporate collaborators or other third parties that research or sell our therapies. Any claims against us, regardless of their merit, could be difficult and costly to defend and could materially adversely affect the market for our future therapeutic candidates or any prospects for commercialization of our future therapeutic candidates. Although the clinical trial process is designed to identify and assess potential side effects, it is always possible that a drug, even after regulatory approval, may exhibit unforeseen side effects. If any of our future therapeutic candidates causes adverse side effects during clinical trials or after regulatory approval, we may be exposed to substantial liabilities.

Physicians and patients may not comply with warnings that identify known potential adverse effects and describe which patients should not use any of our future therapeutic candidates. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may cause, among other things, the following;

decreased demand for our therapies due to negative public perception;

injury to our reputation;

withdrawal of clinical trial participants or difficulties in recruiting new trial participants;

initiation of investigations by regulators;

costs to defend or settle the related litigation;

a diversion of management’s time and our resources;
substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients:
recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions;
loss of revenue from therapeutic sales; and
our inability to commercialize any of our future therapeutic candidates, if approved.

51

In addition we may not be able to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or obtain insurance coverage that will be adequate to satisfy all liabilities that may arise. If a successful product liability claim or series of claims is brought against us for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities, our assets may not be sufficient to cover such claims and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Liability claims resulting from any of the events described above could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Failure operations, and you should carefully consider them. There have not been any material changes to comply with health and data protection laws and regulations could lead to U.S. federal and state government enforcement actions, including civil or criminal penalties, private litigation, and adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and business.

We and any potential collaborators may be subject to U.S. federal and state data protection laws and regulations, such as laws and regulations that address privacy and data security. In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information. In addition, we may obtain health informationrisk factors from third parties, including research institutions from which we obtain clinical trial data, which are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA, as amended by HITECH. To the extent that we act as a business associate to a healthcare provider engaging in electronic transactions, we may also be subject to the privacy and security provisions of HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, which restricts the use and disclosure of patient-identifiable health information, mandates the adoption of standards relating to the privacy and security of patient-identifiable health information, and requires the reporting of certain security breaches to healthcare provider customers with respect to such information. Additionally, many states have enacted similar laws that may impose more stringent requirements on entities like ours. Depending on the facts and circumstances, we could be subject to significant civil, criminal, and administrative penalties if we obtain, use, or disclose individually identifiable health information maintained by a HIPAA-covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by HIPAA.

Compliance with U.S. and foreign privacy and data protection laws and regulations could require us to take on more onerous obligationsthose reported in our contracts, restrict our ability to collect, usefiscal year 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and disclose data, or in some cases, impact our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions. Failure to complyQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with these lawsthe SEC on September 28, 2021 and regulations could result in government enforcement actions (which could include civil, criminal and administrative penalties), private litigation, and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and business. Moreover, clinical trial subjects, employees and other individuals about whom we or our potential collaborators obtain personal information, as well as the providers who share this information with us, may limit our ability to collect, use and disclose the information. Claims that we have violated individuals’ privacy rights, failed to comply with data protection laws, or breached our contractual obligations, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.November 15, 2021 respectively.
