ORGANIZATION

Nature of Business- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin” or the “Company”) is a specialized biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin and natriuretic peptide receptor systems. The Company’s product candidates are targeted, receptor-specific therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential.

Melanocortin Receptor System. The melanocortin receptor (“MCr”) system is hormone driven, withhas effects on food intake, metabolism, sexual function, inflammation, and immune system responses. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have significant pharmacological effects.

The Company’s lead product, Vyleesi®, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in June 2019 and was being marketed in North America by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG”) for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in premenopausal women pursuant to a license agreement between them for Vyleesi for North America, which was entered into on January 8, 2017 (the “AMAG License Agreement”). As disclosed in Note 5, the AMAG License Agreement was terminated effective July 24, 2020, and the Company is now marketing Vyleesi in North America.

The Company’s new product development activities focus primarily on MC1r agonists, with potential to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as dry eye disease, which is also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, and inflammatory bowel disease. The Company believes that the MC1r agonist peptides in development have broad anti-inflammatory effects and appear to utilize mechanisms engaged by the endogenous melanocortin system in regulation of the immune system and resolution of inflammatory responses. The Company is also developing peptides that are active at more than one melanocortin receptor, and MC4r peptide and small molecule agonists with potential utility in obesity and metabolic-related disorders, including rare disease and orphan indications.

Natriuretic Peptide Receptor System. The natriuretic peptide receptor (“NPR”) system regulates cardiovascular functions and tissue homeostasis, and therapeutic agents modulating this system have potential to treat cardiovascular and fibrotic diseases. The Company has designed and is developing potential NPR candidate drugs selective for one or more different natriuretic peptide receptors, including natriuretic peptide receptor-A (“NPR-A”), natriuretic peptide receptor B (“NPR-B”), and natriuretic peptide receptor C (“NPR-C”).

Business Risks and Liquidity –Since inception, the Company has generally incurred negative cash flows from operations, and has expended, and expects to continue to expend, substantial funds to develop the capability to market and distribute Vyleesi in the United States and complete its planned product development efforts. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of September 30, 20202021 of $322,139,678$358,908,016 and a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 of $3,940,776,$(7,112,619), and the Company anticipates incurring significant expenses in the future as a result of spending on developing marketing and distribution capabilities for Vyleesi in the United States and spending on its development programs, and will require substantial additional financing or revenues to continue to fund its planned developmental activities. To achieve sustained profitability, if ever, the Company, alone or with others, must successfully develop and commercialize its technologies and proposed products, conduct successful preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtain required regulatory approvals, and successfully manufacture and market such technologies and proposed products. The time required to reach sustained profitability is highly uncertain, and the Company may never be able to achieve profitability on a sustained basis, if at all.

As of September 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $86,587,455$53,421,179 and current liabilities were $12,652,265.$9,787,758. Management intends to utilize existing capital resources for general corporate purposes and working capital, including establishing marketing and distribution capabilities for Vyleesi in the United States and preclinical and clinical development of the Company’s MC1r and MC4r peptide programs and natriuretic peptide program, and development of other portfolio products.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 20202021 will be sufficient to fund ourits current operating plans through at least December 2021.2022. The Company will need additional funding to complete required clinical trials for its other product candidates and, assuming those clinical trials are successful, as to which there can be no assurance, to complete submission of required applications to the FDA. If the Company is unable to obtain approval or otherwise advance in the FDA approval process, the Company’s ability to sustain its operations could be materially adversely affected.

The Company may seek the additional capital necessary to fund its operations through public or private equity offerings, collaboration agreements, debt financings or licensing arrangements. Additional capital that is required by the Company may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, a disease caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, a pandemic. The Company has taken steps to ensure the safety and well-being of its employees and clinical trial patients to comply with guidance from federal, state, and local authorities, while working to ensure the sustainability of its business operations as this unprecedented situation continues to evolve. In mid-March 2020, the Company transitioned to a company-wide work from home policy. Business-critical activities continue to be subject to heightened precautions to ensure safety of employees. The Company continues to assess its policies, business continuity plans, and employee support.

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare system and work with contract research organizations supporting its clinical, research, and development programs to mitigate risk to patients and its business and community partners, taking into account regulatory, institutional, and government guidance and policies.

The Company will receive a royalty on sales of Vyleesi by our licensees. We have licensed third parties to sell Vyleesi in China and Korea. The COVID-19 coronavirus could adversely impact the time required to obtain regulatory approvals to sell Vyleesi in China and Korea, which would delay when the Company receives royalty income from sales in those countries.

The Company cannot be certain what the overall impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic including the recent resurgence of cases in the United States, will be on its business, including manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing of Vyleesi, and whether it has the potential to materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and cashflows during the fiscal 2021year ending June 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) and beyond.

Concentrations – Concentrations in the Company’s assets and operations subject it to certain related risks. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in one money market account sponsored by a large financial institution. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $1,623,795 related to the termination of the AMAG License Agreement. In connection with the termination agreement, the Company has a receivable balance due from AMAG of $4,300,000 as of September 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported $97,379 in revenue related to the AMAG License Agreement.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Palatin and its wholly-owned inactive subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and all highly liquid investments with a purchased maturity of less than three months. Cash equivalents consistconsisted of $86,396,008$52,554,495 and $82,406,697$59,730,428   in a money market account aton September 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2020,2021, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Management believes that the carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Credit Risk – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Total cash and cash equivalent balances have exceeded balances insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Company. Currently product revenues and related accounts receivable are due exclusivelygenerated primarily from AMAG.

two specialty pharmacies.

Trade Accounts Receivable - Trade accounts receivable are amounts owed to the Company by its customers for products that have been delivered. Trade accounts receivable is recorded at the invoice amount, less prompt pay and other discounts, chargebacks, and an allowance for credit losses, if any. Credit losses have not been significant to date.

Inventories– Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews inventory levels to determine whether any obsolete, expired, or excess inventory exists. If any inventory is expected to expire prior to being sold, has a cost basis in excess of its net realizable value, is in excess of expected sales requirements as determined by internal sales forecasts, or fails to meet commercial sale specifications, the inventory is written-downwritten down through a charge to costoperating expenses. Inventory consisting of products sold. Once packaged, inventoryVyleesi has a shelf-life rangingof three years from three to five years.

the date of manufacture.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment consists of office and laboratory equipment, office furniture and leasehold improvements and includes assets acquired under finance leases. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally five years for laboratory and computer equipment, seven years for office furniture and equipment, and the lesser of the term of the lease or the useful life for leasehold improvements. Amortization of assets acquired under finance leases is included in depreciation expense. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Accumulated depreciation and amortization was $2,466,289$2,516,525 and $2,452,845$2,503,966 as of September 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2020,2021, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of a long-lived asset, management evaluates whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows from the asset are less than its carrying amount. If impairment is indicated, the long-lived asset would be written down to fair value. Fair value is determined by an evaluation of available price information at which assets could be bought or sold, including quoted market prices, if available, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on reasonable and supportable assumptions.

Leases - At lease inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use leased assets over the term of the lease. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. For operating leases, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease if it is determinable. When the rate implicit in the lease is not determinable, the Company uses an estimate based on a hypothetical rate provided by a third party as the Company currently does not have issued debt. Operating ROU assets are calculated as the present value of the remaining lease payments plus unamortized initial direct costs plus any prepayments less any unamortized lease incentives received. Lease terms may include renewal or extension options to the extent they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The assessment of whether renewal or extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised is made at lease commencement. Factors considered in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of any leasehold improvements, the value of renewal rates compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause incremental costs to the Company if the option were not exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to recognize an ROU asset and obligation for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The expense associated with short term leases is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the statementstatements of operations. To the extent a lease arrangement includes both lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected to account for the components as a single lease component.

The Company has operating leases for office and laboratory space, which expire on June 30, 2025 and October 31, 2023, respectively. The Company also has operating leases for copier equipment that expire October 15, 2021 and phone equipment that expires on June 30, 2023.

Revenue Recognition – The Company principallyrecognizes product revenues in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The provisions of ASC Topic 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer. Per the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. Trade accounts receivable due to the Company from contracts with its customers are stated separately in the consolidated balance sheet, net of various allowances as described in the Trade Accounts Receivable policy above.

Product revenues consist of sales of Vyleesi in the United States. The Company sells Vyleesi to specialty pharmacies at the wholesale acquisition cost and payment is currently made within approximately 30 days. The specialty pharmacies subsequently resell the products to healthcare providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with customers, the Company enters into arrangements with healthcare providers and payers that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiatedprivately negotiated rebates, chargebacks, and discounts with respect to the purchase of the Company’s products.

Revenue from product sales is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which occurs at the point in time when the goods are shipped. In instances when the Company performs shipping and handling activities, these are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized.

The Company records product revenues net of allowances for direct and indirect fees, discounts, co-pay assistance programs, estimated chargebacks and rebates. Product sales are also subject to return rights, which have not been significant to date.

For licenses of intellectual property, the Company assesses at contract inception whether the intellectual property is distinct from other performance obligations identified in the arrangement. If the licensing of intellectual property is determined to be distinct, revenue is recognized for nonrefundable, upfront license fees when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer can use and benefit from the license. If the licensing of intellectual property is determined not to be distinct, then the license will beis bundled with other promises in the arrangement into one performance obligation. The Company needs to determine if the bundled performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the Company concludes that the nonrefundable, upfront license fees will be recognized over time, the Company will need to assess the appropriate method of measuring proportional performance.

Regulatory milestone payments are excluded from the transaction price due to the inability to estimate the probability of reversal. Revenue relating to achievement of these milestones is recognized in the period in which the milestone is achieved.


Sales-based royalty and milestone payments resulting from customer contracts solely or predominately for the license of intellectual property will only be recognized upon occurrence of the underlying sale or achievement of the sales milestone in the future and such sales-based royalties and milestone payments will be recognized in the same period earned.

The Company recognizes revenue for reimbursements of research and development costs under collaboration agreements as the services are performed. The Company records these reimbursements as revenue and not as a reduction of research and development expenses as the Company is the principal in the research and development activities based upon its control of such activities, which is considered part of its ordinary activities.

Development milestone payments are generally due 30 business days after the milestone is achieved. Sales milestone payments are generally due 45 business days after the calendar year in which the sales milestone is achieved. Royalty payments are generally due on a quarterly basis 20 business days after being invoiced.

Research and Development Costs – The costs of research and development activities are charged to expense as incurred, including the cost of equipment for which there is no alternative future use.

Accrued Expenses – Third parties perform a significant portion of the Company’s development activities. The Company reviews the activities performed under all contracts each quarter and accrues expenses and the amount of any reimbursement to be received from its collaborators based upon the estimated amount of work completed.completed considering milestones achieved. Estimating the value or stage of completion of certain services requires judgment based on available information. If the Company does not identify services performed for it but not billed by the service-provider, or if it underestimates or overestimates the value of services performed as of a given date, reported expenses will be understated or overstated.

Stock-Based Compensation –The Company charges to expense the fair value of stock options and other equity awards granted. Compensation costs for stock-based awards with time-based vesting are determined using the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of grant or for stock options, the value determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and are recognized on a straight-line basis, while awards containing a market condition are valued using multifactor Monte Carlo simulations.simulations and are recognized over the derived service period. Compensation costs for awards containing a performance condition are determined using the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of grant or for stock options, the value determined utilizing the Black Scholes option pricing model and are recognized based on the probability of achievement of the performance condition over the service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Income Taxes – The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated federal and separate-company state income tax returns. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences or operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has recorded and continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets based on the history of losses incurred and lack of experience projecting future product revenue and sales-based royalty and milestone payments.

Net Loss per Common Share -Basic and diluted loss per common share (“EPS”) are calculated in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share.

For the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, no additional common shares were added to the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive. The potential number of common shares excluded from diluted EPS during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 32,931,560 and 2019 was 38,526,609 and 37,497,717, respectively.

Included in the weighted average common shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per common share are 6,444,3536,734,125 and 5,978,1506,444,353 vested restricted stock units that had not been issued as of September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, due to a provision in the restricted stock unit agreements to delay delivery.

Translation of foreign currencies - Transactions denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (US Dollar) are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (based on the applicable period-end exchange rate) or realized upon settlement of the transactions.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of cash equivalents is classified using a hierarchy prioritized based on inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets carried at fair value:

NOTES PAYABLE: 
On July 2, 2015, the Company closed on a $10,000,000 venture loan led by Horizon Technology Finance Corporation (“Horizon”). The debt facility was a four-year senior secured term loan that bore interest at a floating coupon rate of one-month LIBOR (floor of 0.50%) plus 8.50% and provided for interest-only payments for the first eighteen months followed by monthly payments of principal of $333,333 plus accrued interest through August 1, 2019. The lenders also received five-year immediately exercisable Series G warrants to purchase 549,450 shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at an exercise price of $0.91 per share. The Company recorded a debt discount of $305,196 equal to the fair value of these warrants at issuance, which were amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. This debt discount was offset against the note payable balance and was included in additional paid-in capital on the Company’s balance sheet. In addition, a final incremental payment of $500,000 was due on August 1, 2019. This final incremental payment was accreted to interest expense over the term of the related debt and was included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company incurred $146,115 of costs in connection with the loan agreement. These costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs and were offset against the note payable balance. These debt issuance costs were amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the loan matured, and on July 31, 2019, the Company made the final incremental payment of $500,000.

As of June 30, 2021, $3,721,907 and $6,232,907 was accrued within other current and long-term liabilities, respectively. Losses on these firm commitment contractual obligations are recognized based upon the terms of the respective agreement and similar factors considered for the write-down of inventory, including expected sales requirements as determined by internal sales forecasts.

The commitment contractual obligation amounts above are denominated in Swiss Francs and Euros and have been translated using period end exchange rates. The Company may experience a negative impact on future earnings and equity solely as a result of future foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Contingencies - The Company is subject to numerous contingencies, such as product liability, arising in the ordinary course of business. Loss contingency provisions are recorded for probable losses when management is able to reasonably estimate the loss. Any outcome upon settlement that deviates from the Company’s best estimate may result in additional expense or in a reduction in expense in a future accounting period. The Company records legal expenses associated with such contingencies as incurred.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of this report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.

2021.

The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You are urged to carefully review our description and examples of forward-looking statements included earlier in this Quarterly Report immediately prior to Part I, under the heading “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to risk that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and other factors that may affect our business and operating results, including those made in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020,2021, as well as any of those made in our other reports filed with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included herein, which speak only as of the date of this document. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020,2021, have not changed during the three months ended September 30, 2020 with the exception of product revenue, inventory and purchase commitment liabilities. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported carrying value of inventory and purchase commitment liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In addition to the policies related to the carrying value of inventory and purchase commitment liabilities, we2021. We believe that our accounting policies and estimates relating to the carrying value of inventory, revenue recognition, accrued expenses, purchase commitment liabilities, and stock-based compensation are the most critical.

Overview

We are a specialized biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin and natriuretic peptide receptor systems. Our product candidates are targeted, receptor-specific therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential.

In January 2020, our North American licensee for Vyleesi® (bremelanotide injection), AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG”), announced that it had completed a strategic review of its product portfolio and business strategy, and was pursuing options to divest its female health products, including Vyleesi. On July 27, 2020, Palatin and AMAG announced that they had mutually terminated the license agreement for Vyleesi effective July 24, 2020, and that we were assuming responsibility for manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of Vyleesi in North America, including the United States.

Melanocortin Receptor System.The melanocortin receptor (“MCr”) system is hormone driven, with effects on food intake, metabolism, sexual function, inflammation, and immune system responses. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have significant pharmacological effects.

Our lead product, Vyleesi, was approved by the FDA on June 21, 2019, and since July 24, 2020 we have been marketing Vyleesi in the United States. Prior to July 24, 2020, the product was marketed in North America by AMAG pursuant to a license agreement that was terminated on that date. Vyleesi, a melanocortin receptor agonist, is an “as needed” therapy used in anticipation of sexual activity and self-administered by premenopausal women with HSDDhypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in the thigh or abdomen via a single-use subcutaneous auto-injector. The most common adverse events are nausea, flushing, injection site reactions, headache, and vomiting. Vyleesi is contraindicated in women with uncontrolled hypertension or known cardiovascular disease. In addition, the Vyleesi label includes precautions that it may cause (i) small, transient increases in blood pressure with a corresponding decrease in heart rate; (ii) focal hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body), including the face, gums (gingiva) and breasts; and (iii) nausea.


Our current new product development activities focus primarily on peptides which are agonists at MC1r, and in some instances additional melanocortin receptors, with potential to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as dry eye disease, which is also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, uveitis, diabetic retinopathy, and inflammatory bowel disease. We believe that the MC1r agonist peptides we are developing have broad anti-inflammatory effects and appear to utilize mechanisms engaged by the endogenous melanocortin system in regulation of the immune system and resolution of inflammatory responses. We are also developing peptides that are active at more than one melanocortin receptor, and MC4r peptide and small molecule agonists with potential utility in obesity and metabolic-related disorders, including rare disease and orphan indications.

Natriuretic Peptide Receptor System. The natriuretic peptide receptor (“NPR”) system regulates cardiovascular functions, and therapeutic agents modulating this system have potential to treat fibrotic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, including reducing cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, heart failure, acute asthma, pulmonary diseases, and hypertension. We have designed and are developing potential NPR candidate drugs selective for one or more different natriuretic peptide receptors, including natriuretic peptide receptor-A (“NPR-A”), natriuretic peptide receptor B (“NPR-B”), and natriuretic peptide receptor C (“NPR-C”).

Results of Operations

Three monthsMonths Ended September 30, 20202021 Compared to the Three monthsMonths Ended September 30, 2019:

2020:

Revenues –For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $159,482 in product revenue, net of allowances and for the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $(288,560) in$288,560 of negative product revenue, net of allowances as the result of our regaining all North American development and commercialization rights to Vyleesi in July 2020 (see notesNote 5 and 6 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements). For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized no contract

Cost of Products Sold – Cost of products sold was $53,933 and license revenue compared to $97,379$25,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 pursuant to our prior license agreement with AMAG.

2021 and 2020, respectively.

Research and Development – Research and development expenses were $2,923,851$3,484,764 and $3,127,489$2,923,851 for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The decreaseincrease for the three months ended September 30, 2020,2021, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019,2020, is related to the overall decreasesincrease in program spending offset by higher compensation related expenses.

on our MCr programs.

Research and development expenses related to our Vyleesi, PL3994, PL8177, MC1r, MC4rMCr programs and other preclinical programs were $1,872,305$2,287,313 and $2,297,542$1,872,305 for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The decreaseincrease is the result of timing of activitiesprimarily related to an increase in research and developmentspending on our MCr programs.

The amounts of project spending above exclude general research and development spending, which was $1,051,546$1,197,451 and $829,947$1,051,546 for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The increase in general research and development spending for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 20192020 is primarily attributable to an increase in compensation related expenses.

Cumulative spending from inception to September 30, 20202021 was approximately $311,600,000$311,900,000 on our Vyleesi program and approximately $157,400,000$170,900,000 on all our other programs (which include PL3994, PL8177, other melanocortin receptor agonists, other discovery programs and terminated programs). Due to various risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020,2021, under “Risk Factors,” including the difficulty in currently estimating the costs and timing of future Phase 1 clinical trials and larger-scale Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials for any product under development, we cannot predict with reasonable certainty when, if ever, a program will advance to the next stage of development or be successfully completed, or when, if ever, related net cash inflows will be generated.

Cost of Products Sold – Cost of products sold was $25,200 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative – Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist mainly of compensation and related costs, were $2,331,606$3,836,542 and $1,832,442$2,331,606 for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 is primarily attributable to selling expenses related to Vyleesi and an increaseof $1,766,465 offset by a decrease in compensation related expenses.

Gain on License Termination Agreement - For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a gain of $1,623,795 as a result of the Vyleesi Termination Agreement.Agreement (see noteNote 5 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

Other Income (Expense)– Total other income, (expense), net was $4,646$103,138 and $361,603$4,646 for the three months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,2021, we recognized $12,135investment income of $1,410 and $370,654, respectively,unrealized foreign currency gain of $107,359 offset by $5,631 of interest expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $12,135 of investment income offset by $7,489 and $9,051, respectively, of interest expense. The decreaseincrease in investmentother income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 is athe result of lower interest rates as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have generally incurred net operating losses, primarily related to spending on our research and development programs. We have financed our net operating losses primarily through debt and equity financings and amounts received under collaborative and license agreements.

Our product candidates are at various stages of development and will require significant further research, development, and testing and some may never be successfully developed or commercialized. We may experience uncertainties, delays, difficulties, and expenses commonly experienced by early stage biopharmaceutical companies, which may include unanticipated problems and additional costs relating to:

the development and testing of products in animals and humans;
product approval or clearance;
regulatory compliance;
good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) compliance;

Failure to enter into or successfully perform under collaboration agreements and obtain timely regulatory approval for our product candidates and indications would impact our ability to increasegenerate revenues and could make it more difficult to attract investment capital for funding our operations. Any of these possibilities could materially and adversely affect our operations and require us to curtail or cease certain programs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020,2021, net cash used in operating activities was $6,417,706 compared to cash provided by operating activities wasof $3,812,951 compared to $54,837,308 for the three months ended September 2019.30, 2020. The difference in cash provided byused in operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021 compared to cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September, 2019 was primarily related to the timingcash received in excess of the receipt of payments related to our licensegain recorded on the termination agreement with AMAG, including payments related to the FDA’s approval of Vylessi.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 for the purchase of equipment.

During the three months ended September 30,2021 and 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $202,353 and $77,766, respectively, which consisted of payment of withholding taxes related to restricted stock units. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $1,586,618, which consisted of payment on a note payable obligation of $832,851 and repurchase and cancellation of outstanding warrants of $1,333,497 offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock of $579,730 in our “at-the-market” offering program.

We have incurred cumulative negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and have expended, and expect to continue to expend in the future, substantial funds to develop the capability to market and distribute Vylessi in the United States and to complete our planned product development efforts. Continued operations are dependent upon our ability to generate future income from sales of Vylessi in the United States and from existing licenses, including royalties and milestones, to complete equity or debt financing activities and to enter into additional licensing or collaboration arrangements. As of September 30, 2020,2021, our cash and cash equivalents were $86,587,455$53,421,179 and our current liabilities were $12,652,265.

We intend to utilize existing capital resources for general corporate purposes and working capital, including establishing marketing and distribution capabilities for Vyleesi in the United States and preclinical and clinical development of our MC1r and MC4r peptide programs and natriuretic peptide program, and development of other portfolio products.

We believe that our existing capital resources will be adequate to fund our planned operations through at least December 2021.2022. We will need additional funding to complete required clinical trials for our other product candidates and development programs and, if those clinical trials are successful (which we cannot predict), to complete submission of required regulatory applications to the FDA. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our operations, including possible effects on our financial condition, ability to access the capital markets on attractive terms or at all, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. We will continue to evaluate the impact that these events could have on the operations, financial position, and the results of operations and cash flows during fiscal year 2022 and beyond.

fiscal 2021. We may not attain profitability in future years, which is dependent on numerous factors, including, but not limited to, whether and when development and sales milestones are met, regulatory actions by the FDA and other regulatory bodies, the performance of our licensees, and market acceptance of our products.

We expect to incur significant expenses as we continue to develop marketing and distribution capability for Vylessi in the United States and continue to develop our natriuretic peptide and MC1r product candidates. These expenses, among other things, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity, total assets, and working capital.
