Current report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $2.1 million compared to the same period in 2024. The change includes a $0.8 million decrease in professional fees including accounting, legal, and regulatory fees, which were related to the acquisition of Proteomedix in 2024 and non-recurring into 2025. In addition, the Protemedix entity had a reduction in professional fees including legal and accounting of approximately $0.4 million due to the non-recurring transaction related efforts in early 2024. Other changes included a $0.4 million decrease in payroll-related expenses, a $0.1 million decrease in board fees, and $0.4 million decrease in miscellaneous other selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to reduced liquidity in the current quarter.
Current report
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there was no impairment recorded related to the ENTADFI asset, as the asset had been fully impaired in the prior year. Specifically, an impairment charge of approximately $2.3 million was recognized during the same period in 2024, based on a valuation assessment conducted by an external specialist.
Current report
The Company recorded an impairment of goodwill related to the PMX acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaling $10.9 million, as compared to an impairment of $5.2 million recognized for the same period last year in connection with the same acquisition.
Current report
Other income incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by approximately $4.2 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $3.1 million increase in the change in fair value of the subscription agreement liability – related party, and the Company recognized a $0.9 million gain on forgiveness of accounts payable related to the settlement of IQVIA balances. In addition, there was a $0.3 million reduction in other expense items, including the absence of related party interest expense, lower interest expense due to fewer outstanding loans, and the change in fair value of contingent warrant liabilities.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was approximately $2.9 million, and resulted primarily from proceeds of approximately $5.0 million from the purchase of common stock in connection with the ELOC and $0.1 million from the issuance of notes payable. These proceeds were offset by payments on notes payable of approximately $0.9 million and a payment of approximately $1.3million related to redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Liquidity Outlook
Previous report
We have incurred net losses since inception and expect to continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending in large part on the timing of our preclinical studies, clinical trials and manufacturing activities, our expenditures on other research and development activities and commercialization activities. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $16.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $86.0 million. In addition, as of December 5, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $0.4 million, all of which is currently held by the Company’s foreign subsidiary. The Company believes that its current cash balance is only sufficient to fund its operations through the end of December 2024, until it can utilize the Equity Financing Line of Credit, which it entered into in on October 2, 2024, and as such, we will need to raise additional capital prior to this to sustain operations.
Previous report
Until we generate revenue sufficient to support self-sustaining cash flows, if ever, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our continued operations, including our product development and commercialization activities related to our current and future products. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or that we will ever generate revenue sufficient to provide self-sustaining cash flows. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, included elsewhere in this Report do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our business, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. Additionally, even if we are able to generate revenue from Proclarix or our other assets, we may not become profitable. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and may be forced to reduce our operations.
Previous report
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.6 million compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was due to the halt in commercialization of activities beginning in late 2023, specifically in sales and marketing efforts and business consulting, which contributed $1.5 million towards the decrease and payroll expenses, which contributed an additional $0.5 million towards the decrease. Furthermore, the impairment of intangible assets recorded in the prior year of approximately $0.3 million contributed to the decrease as well. The decrease was offset by Proteomedix’s selling, general and administrative expense increase of $0.7 million fully related to the acquisition of the subsidiary in the last quarter of 2023.
Previous report
Other expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by approximately $0.4 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to approximately $0.2 million of increased related party interest expense, primarily related to the Altos Debenture issued in January 2024, and an increase of $0.9 million in the change in fair value of the subscription liability. These items were offset by the loss on extinguishment of note payable recognized in the prior year of approximately $0.5 million, an approximate $0.1 million decrease in change in fair value of contingent warrant liability as a result of the issuance of new contingent warrants upon the PIO inducement transaction, and a decrease of approximately $0.1 million of interest expense due to the one of the ENTADFI notes outstanding in the third quarter of 2023 being fully paid off prior to the current quarter.
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.8 million of revenue, which was attributable to product sales of approximately $0.1 million and development services of approximately $1.7 million generated by Proteomedix. Cost of revenue of approximately $1.4 million was attributable to $0.5 million of costs incurred on the generation of Proteomedix revenue, as well as amortization of the product rights intangible asset of approximately $0.5 million, and approximately $0.4 million related to the full impairment of ENTADFI inventory. The Company did not have any revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Previous report
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Previous report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2023. Proteomedix’s selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled approximately $2.2 million, of which approximately $1.6 million was related to audit and legal fees, and salaries and benefits. Onconetix expenses offset this increase by $1.9 million, which was due to a reduction in commercialization activities of approximately $0.7 million, including a reduction in fees due to IQVIA of approximately $0.5 million, decrease in stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million, a decrease in impairment of long-lived assets of approximately $0.3 million, and a $0.2 million decrease in the loss on related party receivable.
Previous report
Research and Development Expenses
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded impairment losses of approximately $15.5 million related to goodwill recorded in connection with the PMX acquisition, and an impairment loss of approximately $3.5 million on the assets acquired as part of the ENTADFI asset acquisition.
Previous report
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a $3.5 million impairment loss was recorded on the deposit for the WraSer APA.
Previous report
Other Income (Expense)
Previous report
Other expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased by approximately $1.0 million compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) approximately $0.5 million of interest expense related to the Altos Debenture issued in January 2024, (ii) an increase of $0.1 million of interest related to the April Veru Note, which was amended in April 2024, and (iii) a $1.0 million increase in the fair value of the subscription liability. These increases were offset by a decrease in the fair value of the contingent warrant liability expense of approximately $0.1 million and the extinguishment of the note payable in the previous period of approximately $0.5 million.
Previous report
Income Tax Benefit
Previous report
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $9.9 million, of which approximately $6.1 million was used for the acquisition of ENTADFI, $3.5 million was used for the deposit in connection with the WraSer APA, and approximately $0.3 million is the net change in the receivable from related parties.
Previous report
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $1.0 million, and resulted from net proceeds from the exercise of preferred investment options in connection with the warrant inducement transaction of $2.3 million, offset by $1.0 million in principal payments on a note payable, approximately $0.1 million in purchases of treasury shares and approximately $0.2 million of payment in deferred offering costs.
Previous report
As of the close of the NASDAQ stock market on December 5, 2024, our stock price was $0.63 per share. This is a significant decline from September 30, 2024 where our closing price was $5.20 per share. If the stock remains at this level by the close of business on December 31, 2024, we believe this is an indicator for impairment which would require us to perform an impairment test since the fair value of our one reporting unit would be substantially less than its carrying value. Any impairment charge could result in a substantial non-cash expense, affecting our financial performance.
Reworded paragraphs (28)
Previous wording
We are a commercial stage biotechnology company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of innovative solutions for men’s health and oncology. Through our recent acquisition of Proteomedix, which closed on December 15, 2023, we own Proclarix, an in vitro diagnostic test for prostate cancer originally developed by Proteomedix and approved for sale in the European Union under the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (“IVDR”), which we anticipate will be marketed in the U.S. as a lab developed test through our license agreement with LabCorp.

Previous wording
We also own ENTADFI, an FDA-approved, once daily pill that combines finasteride and tadalafil for the treatment of BPH, a disorder of the prostate. However, in light of (i) the time and resources needed to continue pursuing commercialization of ENTADFI, and (ii) the Company’s cash runway and indebtedness, the Company determined to pause its commercialization of ENTADFI during the first quarter of 2024, as it explores strategic alternatives to monetize ENTADFI, such as a potential sale of the ENTADFI assets. To that end, the Company has been working with an investment advisor to assist with a potential sale or other transaction of the ENTADFI assets during the second and third quarters of 2024. There is currently no plan to resume commercialization of ENTADFI, and as such, if we are not able to consummate a sale or other transaction of the ENTADFI assets, we may abandon the assets and destroy our inventory of the product. In addition, as part of cost reduction efforts and in connection with our initial pause in commercializing ENTADFI, we terminated three employees involved with the ENTADFI program, effective April 30, 2024, with such individuals to continue assisting the Company on an as-needed, consulting basis. Based on the current circumstances surrounding ENTADFI, at June 30, 2024, the ENTADFI assets were fully impaired. Refer to Notes 4 and 5 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report for further discussion. The Company continues to search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

We do not have any products approved for sale, aside from Proclarix in the European Union, and ENTADFI, from which we have not generated any revenue from product sales, and for which we have now abandoned commercialization activities for. We are exploring strategic alternatives to monetize ENTADFI, such as a potential sale of the ENTADFI assets. However, if we are not able to consummate a sale or other transaction of the ENTADFI assets, we may abandon the assets and destroy our inventory of the product. To date, we have financed our operations primarily with proceeds from our sale of preferred securities to seed investors, the initial public offering, the private placements completed during 2022, the proceeds received from a warrant exercise in August 2023, the proceeds received from the issuance of debt in January 2024, the proceeds received from a warrant exercise in July 2024, and proceeds received from the private placement in October 2024 . We will continue to require significant additional capital to commercialize Proclarix, and to fund operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, until such time as we can generate significant revenue, if ever, we expect to finance our cash needs through public or private equity or debt financings, third-party funding and to rely on third-party resources for marketing and distribution arrangements, as well as other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements, or any combination of these approaches, to support our operations.

The Company evaluated the terms of the 39,158 Inducement Contingent Warrants (equivalent to 7.0% of the aggregate number of such shares of common stock underlying the Inducement PIOs that have not been exercised), which are issuable upon a future inducement, and determined that they should be classified as a liability based upon accounting guidance provided in ASC 815-40.

Previous wording
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of approximately $0.3 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $16.3 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $86.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used approximately $9.6 million in cash for operating activities. In addition, as of December 5, 2024, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $0.4 million, all of which is currently held by the Company’s foreign subsidiary. The Company’s current cash balance is not sufficient to fund its operations through the end of December 2024 until it can utilize the Equity Financing Line of Credit (“ELOC”), which it entered into on October 2, 2024, referred herein as the ELOC Purchase Agreement, and this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s projections are also indicative that it is currently unable to meet its contractual commitments and obligations as they come due in the ordinary course of business. The Company will require significant additional capital in the short-term to fund its continuing operations, satisfy existing and future obligations and liabilities, including the remaining payments due for the acquisition of the ENTADFI assets, and funds needed to support the Company’s working capital needs and business activities. These business activities include the development and commercialization of Proclarix, and the development and commercialization of the Company’s future product candidates.
Current wording
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company used approximately $2.0 million in cash for operating activities. In addition, as of June 10, 2025, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $0.4 million. The Company’s current cash balance is not sufficient to fund its operations through the end of December 2025. In December 2024, the Company began drawing on the Equity Financing Line of Credit (“ELOC”), which it entered into on October 2, 2024, referred herein as the ELOC Purchase Agreement. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s projections are also indicative that it is currently unable to meet its contractual commitments and obligations as they come due in the ordinary course of business.

These business activities include the development and commercialization of Proclarix, and the development and commercialization of the Company’s future product candidates.
Previous wording
Management’s plans for funding the Company’s operations include generating product revenue from sales of Proclarix, which is still subject to further successful commercialization activities within certain jurisdictions. Management also intends to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financings if available, and to utilize the ELOC entered into in October 2024 (see Note 15) on an as-needed basis to assist with the paydown of the debentures and to fund current operating needs, subject to certain restrictions and beneficial ownership constraints. However, based on the terms of the ELOC and the current maximum availability, Management determined that the funds readily available under the ELOC will not be sufficient to sustain operations. In addition, there are currently no other commitments in place for further financing nor is there any assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. This creates significant uncertainty whether the Company will have the funds available to be able to sustain its operations and expand commercialization of Proclarix. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail any future clinical trials, development and/or commercialization of future product candidates, and it may take additional measures to reduce expenses in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations, or, if it is required to, file for bankruptcy.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, research and development expenses decreased by approximately $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the Company’s decision to halt its vaccine programs and focus on commercialization activities, which occurred during the third quarter of 2023. This change in business strategy led to a halt in the Company’s clinical and other research activities. The decrease was only slightly offset by minimal research and development activities still ongoing at Proteomedix.
