Current report

There is economic uncertainty concerning economic policies being pursued by the current administration in the United States that may affect the costs and timing of the process of bringing our products to market through approvals with the FDA.

Current report

Our operating results could be affected by the current political and economic uncertainties related to the economy of the United States, the domestic pharmaceutical industry and world economies. Future conditions may also adversely affect our pricing strategy, promotional activities and our profitability and margins. Additionally, many of the effects and consequences of U.S. and global financial and economic conditions could potentially have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources, including the ability to raise additional capital, if needed, or could otherwise negatively affect our business and financial results. Market instability could make it more difficult for us and our suppliers to accurately forecast future product demand trends. Additionally, inflationary factors such as increases in the costs to purchase products, acquire product rights and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results.

Current report

A number of factors, including, but not limited to the following, may affect our ability to develop our business and operate profitably:

Current report

Stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities.

Current report

We will need to raise substantial funds in order to develop our products. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may be based on a discount from market at the time of issuance. Stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our present and future stock incentive programs. In addition, the sale of shares and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.*** ***
Removed paragraphs (16)

Previous report

Because we are an early-stage company with minimal revenue and a history of losses and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, we cannot assure you that we can or will be able to operate profitably.

Previous report

If any of our potential products are approved for marketing but fail to achieve the broad degree of physician or market acceptance necessary for commercial success, our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Previous report

If any of the products in our pipeline receives FDA approval thereby allowing us to market the product in the United States, it will be necessary for us to generate acceptance of our product for the indications covered by the FDA approval. In order to generate acceptance in the marketplace, we will need to demonstrate to physicians, patients and payors that our product provides a distinct advantage or better outcome at a price that reflects the value of our product as compared with existing products. We will need to develop and implement a marketing program directed at both physicians and the general public. Since we do not presently have the resources necessary to develop or implement an in-house marketing program and we may not have the funds to do so if and when we obtain FDA approval to market our product, we will need to establish a distribution network though license and distribution agreements with third parties who have the capability to market our product to physicians, and we will be dependent upon the ability of these third parties to market our products effectively. We cannot assure you that we will be able to negotiate license and distribution agreements with terms that are acceptable to us. Since we do not have an established track record and our product pipeline is relatively small, we may be at a disadvantage in negotiating the terms of license and distribution agreements. Further, we may have little control over the development and implementation of our licensee’s marketing program, and our licensees may have interests that are inconsistent with ours with respect to the allocation of resources and implementation of the marketing program. We cannot assure you that a marketing program for any of our products can or will be implemented effectively or that we will be successful in developing physician and emergency service acceptance of our products.

Previous report

If we obtain FDA approval, we will face significant competition from better known and better capitalized companies.

Previous report

If we obtain FDA approval for any of our products, we expect to face significant competition from existing companies, which are better known and already have developed relationships with physicians within the healthcare system. Any product we may develop will compete with existing medications performing the same medicinal functions, which may include transdermal patches. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully. In addition, even if we are able to commercialize our product candidates, we may not be able to price them competitively with current standard of care products or their price may drop considerably due to factors outside our control. If this happens or the price of materials and manufacture increases dramatically, our ability to continue to operate our business would be materially harmed and we may be unable to commercialize any products successfully. In addition, other pharmaceutical companies may be engaged in developing, patenting, manufacturing and marketing products that compete with those that we are developing. These potential competitors may include large and experienced companies that enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, such as greater financial, research and development, manufacturing, personnel and marketing resources, greater brand recognition and more experience and expertise in obtaining marketing approvals from the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities9

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Previous report

Disclosure controls and procedures.

Previous report

As of the end of period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Previous report

Management has determined that our internal controls contain material weaknesses due to the absence of segregation of duties, as well as lack of qualified accounting personnel, and excessive reliance on third-party consultants for accounting, financial reporting and related activities. During the past fiscal year, we have added qualified accounting personnel, so the Company does not have to rely on third-party consultants. The Company has established additional monitoring controls over the financial statements. We have also improved our internal controls to provide for a detailed accounting review of all revenue items and accounts receivable and accounts payable transactions in connection with the entry and categorization of each transaction in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

Previous report

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Previous report

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.

Previous report

No changes were made to our internal controls in the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely materially to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Reworded paragraphs (3)

Previous wording

We did not generate any revenue prior to the quarter ended October 31, 2018 and, since then, we have reported only modest revenue from our pharmaceutical transdermal patch business. We are subject to the risks common to start-up, pre-revenue enterprises, including, among other factors, undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. Drug development companies typically incur substantial losses during the product development and FDA testing phase of the business and do not generate revenues until after the drug has received FDA approval, which cannot be assured, and until the company has started to sell the product. We can give no assurance that we can or will ever be successful in achieving profitability and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of our early stage of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably or generate positive cash flow. If we cannot achieve profitability, we may be forced to cease operations and you may suffer a total loss of your investment.

Current wording

In this economic environment, we are also subject to the risks common to low-revenue start-up enterprises, including, among other factors, undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other capital or operating expenditures. Drug development companies typically incur substantial losses during the product development and FDA testing phase of the business and do not generate revenues until after the drug has received FDA approval, which cannot be assured, and until the company has started to sell the product. We can give no assurance that we can or will ever be successful in achieving profitability and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of our early stage of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably or generate positive cash flow. If we cannot achieve profitability, we may be forced to cease operations and you may suffer a total loss of your investment.*** ***

Previous wording

We have not completed the development of our lead product, which is our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, and we do not have any product that we can market in the United States. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and market any products or achieve or attain profitability. If we are able to obtain financing for our operations, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses as we continue with our product development and clinical trials. Further, if we are required by applicable regulatory authorities, including the FDA as well as the comparable regulatory agencies in other countries in which we may seek to market product, to perform studies in addition to those we currently anticipate, our expenses will increase beyond expectations and the timing of any potential product approval may be delayed. As a result, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future.

Previous wording

The trading price of our common stock has experienced fluctuations due to the factors discussed in these risk factors section and elsewhere in this report. In addition, the stock market in general has, and the NASDAQ Global Market and technology companies in particular have, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These trading prices and valuations may not be sustainable. These broad market and industry factors may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies (primarily those that are larger than us) that experienced such volatility. This type of litigation, if instituted against us, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
