Current report
The increase in R&D expenses of $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to(i) an increase of $11.8 million related to ersodetug clinical and manufacturing costs and (ii) an increase of $1.0 million in other R&D costs. These increases amount to $12.8 million and were partially offset by a $7.0 million decrease in costs related to RZ402 clinical and manufacturing spend as there are no active RZ402 studies in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
The increase in ersodetug program costs of $11.8 million primarily was driven by(i) $6.7 million of manufacturing related costs for process performance qualification batch production of drug product, which will continue to support both phase 3 studies and the EAPs as well as prepare for potential commercialization, (ii) $3.2 million in clinical costs due to costs incurred for the tumor HI phase 3 study for which startup activities were initiated in August 2024 after clearance of our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application and for which we are anticipating enrollment of the first patient in the study in the second half of calendar 2025, and (iii) a $1.9 million increase in costs for the sunRIZE clinical trial which enrolled its first patient in April 2024 and concluded enrollment in May 2025.
Current report
Other R&D costs increased by $1.0 million primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in R&D employee compensation and benefits. The increase in R&D employee compensation and benefits was attributable to an increase in the average number of R&D employees from 42 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to 48 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. These costs were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease primarily due to preclinical, toxicology and other ersodetug costs

Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $107.3 million. This amount consisted of (i) proceeds of $97.3 million from the 2025 Underwritten Offering, (ii) proceeds of $6.0 million from the 2024 Private Placement, and (iii) proceeds of $4.2 million from the 2025 Private Placement. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we also received proceeds of $0.9 million from the exercise of employee stock options to purchase approximately 341,000 shares of common stock and paid $1.1 million for offering costs.

RZ402
Previous report
In May of 2024 we announced topline results from the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study of RZ402 in patients with DME, which met primary study endpoints, demonstrating a significant reduction in central subfield thickness in the Study Eye at all RZ402 dose levels compared to placebo (up to approximately a 50 micron improvement) and was safe and well-tolerated. The program is available for partnering and we are actively engaged in conversations with potential partners to take RZ402 into further development.
Previous report
Exchange Agreement. On March 8, 2024, we entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of our stockholders (the “Exchanging Shareholders”), whereby we purchased 3,000,000 shares of common stock representing approximately 7% of our outstanding shares with an aggregate fair value of $5,700,000 (the “Retired Shares”) from the Exchanging Shareholders. The Retired Shares were immediately cancelled whereby they will remain as authorized shares for future issuance in accordance with Nevada law. Consideration for the acquisition of the Retired Shares consisted of (i) a cash payment to the Exchanging Shareholders of $3,000, and (ii) the issuance of pre-funded warrants (the “Exchange PFWs”) to the Exchanging Shareholders with an estimated fair value of $5,697,000. The Exchange PFWs do not expire and were exercisable as of June 30, 2024 to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.
Previous report
The Exchange PFWs required approval by our shareholders if the exercise of the Exchange PFWs resulted in aggregate beneficial ownership by the holders in excess of 19.99%. Even though the Exchange PFWs only entitled the holders to purchase 7% of our outstanding shares of common stock, the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for ownership in excess of 19.99% resulted in the treatment of the exchange PFWs as a warrant derivative liability of $5.7 million as of the issuance date. The fair value of this warrant derivative liability increased by approximately $2.9 million, for a total of $8.5 million as of May 13, 2024 when the Exchange PFWs were amended to permit equity classification. Accordingly, the derivative liability of $8.5 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on May 13, 2024.
Previous report
The increase of $11.9 million was primarily attributable to a net increase of $8.7 million in costs incurred for our two clinical candidate programs, of which the ersodetug program had an increase in spending of $10.9 million and the RZ402 program had a decrease in spending of $2.2 million.
Previous report
The increase in ersodetug program costs of $10.9 million primarily was driven by (i) an increase of $3.9 million for higher spending on drug substance and drug product manufacturing and other development activities as we began manufacturing activities for process performance qualification activities, (ii) $5.0 million in milestone payments under our license agreement with XOMA due to the dosing of the first patient in a Phase 3 clinical study, (iii) a $1.3 million increase in other ersodetug costs incurred for toxicology studies to support the efforts to lift the FDA clinical hold and (iv) a $0.7 million increase in clinical trial costs due to the ongoing enrollment of patients in the Phase 3 clinical study. We did not incur any ersodetug milestone related costs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
Previous report
The RZ402 program cost decrease of $2.2 million was primarily attributable to a $3.0 million decrease in milestone payments due under our license agreement with ActiveSite. In February 2023, we dosed the first patient in the RZ402 Phase 2 study, triggering a milestone payment due for $3.0 million to ActiveSite. There were no RZ402 related milestone costs incurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. A further decrease in manufacturing preclinical, toxicology and other related costs of $1.2 million resulted in a total decrease of $4.2 million in RZ402 costs. This $4.2 million decrease in RZ402 costs was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in clinical operation costs related to the ongoing Phase 2 study, for which the final patients completed the protocol in April 2024.
Previous report
In addition to the net increase of $8.7 million in our clinical candidate programs, we had an increase of $2.6 million in R&D compensation and benefits for our R&D workforce. Cash-based R&D compensation and benefits increased by $2.4 million from $11.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to $14.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average number of R&D employees from 36 to 42 and an increase in annual performance bonuses. R&D share-based compensation increased by $0.2 million from $3.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to $3.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This increase in share-based compensation was primarily attributable to stock options granted to R&D employees hired during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Previous report
In addition to the increases in R&D compensation and benefits and our clinical programs noted above for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $0.6 million was incurred related to higher facilities costs and employee related travel costs allocable to R&D due to the increased headcount as noted above.
Previous report
In addition to the increases in G&A compensation and benefits and our other professional expenditures noted above for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $0.2 million was incurred related to higher facilities costs and employee related travel costs allocable to G&A due to the increased headcount as noted above.
Previous report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 amounted to $11.6 million. This amount consisted of gross proceeds of $12.3 million received from the 2022 Private Placement. The total proceeds from the 2022 Private Placement of $12.3 million were received in July 2022 and were partially offset by payments of $0.8 million for underwriting commissions and other costs related to this offering.

Previous wording
Our priorities going into the second half of 2024 and first half of 2025 are to (i) complete enrollment of ex-U.S. participants in the sunRIZE study, (ii) initiate study start-up activities in the U.S. to enable U.S. participant enrollment in the sunRIZE study, and (iii) continue study start-up activities and begin enrollment for the Phase 3 registrational tumor HI clinical study.
Current wording
Our priorities going into the second half of 2025 and first half of 2026 are to execute across our two Phase 3 clinical trials. Our goals include (i) complete the sunRIZE study (as defined below) to enable topline data in December 2025, (ii) continue enrollment in the registrational tumor HI study, and (iii) assuming supportive data from sunRIZE, submit a Biologics License Application to the FDA for ersodetug in mid-2026.
Previous wording
Our focus as a Company is advancing ersodetug in two Phase 3 clinical studies for congenital HI and tumor HI. To that end, we are actively enrolling the pivotal Phase 3 sunRIZE clinical study of ersodetug, which is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm evaluation of ersodetug in participants with congenital HI who are not adequately responding to standard of care medical therapies. To date, in this study we have been screening and enrolling participants outside the U.S. because the U.S. FDA had imposed an age restriction of 12 years of age and older on ersodetug clinical studies as well as dose level restrictions based on historical rat toxicology findings. On September 4, 2024, FDA lifted those restrictions and authorized U.S. inclusion in the ongoing sunRIZE study. Currently, the Company is conducting study start-up activities at sites in the U.S. in anticipation of enrolling U.S. participants in the sunRIZE study in the first part of 2025. Topline results from the study are anticipated to be available in the second half of calendar 2025.
Current wording
Our focus as a Company is advancing ersodetug as a potential treatment for all forms of HI, specifically in two Phase 3 clinical studies for congenital HI and tumor HI. To that end, we have completed enrollment in the pivotal Phase 3 sunRIZE clinical study of ersodetug, which is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm evaluation of ersodetug in participants with congenital HI who are not adequately responding to standard of care medical therapies. Target enrollment of 56 participants was exceeded with 62 participants between 3 months and 45 years of age enrolled, including approximately 15 percent from U.S. sites. Topline results from the study are anticipated to be available in December 2025, but the specific date of the availability of such results may vary.

2024 Underwritten Offering. On June 13, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement for the planned issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten public offering (the “2024 Underwritten Offering”). The 2024 Underwritten Offering provided for the issuance of (i) 11,250,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share for gross proceeds of $45.0 million, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,750,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.999 per pre-funded warrant (the “2024 PFWs”) for gross proceeds of $15.0 million.

We account for investments in marketable debt securities as available-for-sale securities whereby they are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Interest income consists of accrued interest earned based on the coupon rate of the security, plus the impact of accreting discounts and amortizing premiums to maturity using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. Unrealized gains and losses due to subsequent changes in fair value of the investments are reported in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The individual debt securities in our portfolio are subject to credit risk in the event of default by the issuers. We review the components of our portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below amortized cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. To the extent that declines in fair value are due to a deterioration of credit quality of the issuer, we will recognize an allowance for credit losses related to such investments with a corresponding loss in the consolidated statements of operations. Allowances for credit losses may be reversed in subsequent periods if conditions improve and credit-related losses are no longer expected. For a decline in fair value that is solely due to changes in interest rates, impairment is not recognized if we have the ability and intent to hold the investment until maturity. The cost basis of any securities sold prior to maturity will be determined using the specific identification method.

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

We recognize warrant derivative liabilities based on assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance set forth by FASB in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments and meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of the end of each subsequent quarterly period while the warrants are outstanding. Liability classified warrants are valued using the BSM option-pricing model at issuance and for each reporting period when applicable. Changes in fair value are reflected as gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations. We also recognize liabilities for embedded derivatives that arose in connection with a legacy debt agreement.

The increase in G&A expenses of $2.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to an increase in G&A compensation and benefits related to our administrative workforce of $1.2 million. Cash-based G&A compensation and benefits increased by $1.2 million from $3.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to $5.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This increase was attributable to an increase in the average number of G&A employees from 12 to 15 and an increase in compensation related to annual performance bonuses. Investor relations expenses and other G&A professional fees increased by $1.1 million from $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 to $3.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This increase in investor relations expense and other G&A professional fees resulted from pre-commercial planning activities, post regulatory approval market approval planning and other professional fee increases.

This increase was attributable to an increase in the average number of G&A employees from 15 to 19 and an increase in compensation related to annual performance bonuses. G&A professional fees increased by $1.8 million from $3.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Interest and other income. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $4.9 million of interest income compared to $4.2 million of interest income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. This increase of $0.7 million was primarily due to our decision in January 2023 to invest an aggregate of approximately $115.0 million in marketable debt securities and an overnight money market mutual fund that provided for interest at a weighted average effective rate of approximately 5.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Even though we had substantially more funds available for investment during the first half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, our effective interest rate was less than 2.0% compared to approximately 5.0% after we began investing in marketable debt securities in January 2023. This change in strategy occurred midway through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 whereby interest income was $1.2 million for the first half of the fiscal year and $3.0 million for the second half of the fiscal year.

Interest and other income. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $5.5 million of interest income compared to $4.9 million of interest income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. This increase of $0.6 million was primarily due to the Company having a higher average balance of investments in marketable debt securities throughout the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Derivative Liability. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a loss of $2.9 million during the period from March 8, 2024 through May 13, 2024 when the Exchange PFWs were classified as liabilities. This loss was due to an increase of $0.95 per share in our stock price, resulting in an increase in the fair value of the derivative liability that was recognized due to shareholder approval provision regarding ownership limitations that prohibited equity classification. This liability existed until May 13, 2024 when the Exchange PFW holders agreed to an amendment that eliminated this provision. Our stock price increased from $1.90 per share on March 8, 2024, to $2.85 per share on May 13, 2024 when the Exchange PFWs were modified. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any warrant derivative liabilities.
