Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, and Liquidity

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 14, 2020, for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), and certain subsidiaries of Petros and Neurotrope. Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries: Metuchen, Neurotrope, Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). The Company has historically been engaged in the commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which the Company licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also historically marketed its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products (“VEDs”) through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV, including VEDs marketed as “Osbon ErecAid” and “PosTVac.”

In December 2024, the Company determined to discontinue sales of Stendra® to wholesalers. As a result of the Vivus Termination Agreement (as defined herein) entered into by the Company in March 2025, the Company is no longer engaged in the commercialization, development or sales of Stendra®. Additionally, Timm Medical and PTV are expected to be assigned to a third-party in connection with the ABC (as defined herein) of Metuchen, and accordingly, the Company will no longer be engaged in the marketing or selling of VEDs following the completion of the ABC process. Today, the Company is working towards the goal of becoming a leading innovator in the emerging self-care market driving expanded access to key nonprescription pharmaceuticals as Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) and nonprescription drug products with additional condition for nonprescription use (“ACNU Products”) treatment options.

Petros is pursuing the development of a proprietary integrated technology solutions platform (the “platform”) containing two components (i) SaaS, designed to assist pharmaceutical companies in operationalizing and commercializing an Rx-to-OTC switch as an element in the development of an ACNU Product, and (ii) a potential Software as a Medical Device (“SaMD”) component, which must comply with FDA governance and approval and is expected to be a consumer interface that guides the consumer in navigating appropriate self-selection or deselection, through the acquisition process of the OTC product. The Company has been working towards the development of the platform, which is currently in early development stages and is being designed to serve as a retail or online interface, with clinically established algorithmic logic qualifying the intended consumer-patient for purchase and use of an ACNU Product, while reducing subjectivity to the least possible degree and maximizing objective qualifiers to the greatest possible degree.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the accounting rules under Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Going Concern

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. To date, the Company’s principal sources of capital used to fund the Company’s operations have been the revenues from product sales, private sales, registered offerings and private placements of equity securities. The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since the Company’s inception. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $3.7 million, negative working capital of $10.7 million, and accumulated deficit of $113.2 million. The Company’s plans include, or may include, utilizing cash and cash equivalents on hand, as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. In January 2022, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Vivus in connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement (as defined herein) in the principal amount of $10,201,758. On October 1, 2024, the Company failed to make the payment due pursuant to the Note (as defined herein) and related Security Agreement (as defined herein) in the amount of $0.5 million, constituting an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note and Security Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the principal balance of the note is $7,248,635. The terms of the Note, Vivus Settlement Agreement and Security Agreement are discussed in Note 9 and Note 15. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its

operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these audited consolidated financial statements are issued.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations by exploring additional ways to raise capital and increasing cash flows from operations. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required or that the Company will have sufficient cash to develop its platform, even after the proceeds raised in this offering.

NASDAQ Capital Market Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard

On May 15, 2024, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between April 3, 2024, through May 14, 2024, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). The letter also indicated that the Company was provided with a compliance period until November 11, 2024, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

On November 12, 2024, the Company received notice from the Staff granting the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Rule, or, until May 12, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s Common Stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Common Stock will be subject to delisting. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification. In the event of such a notification, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination to delist its securities.

On March 26, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “March 2025 Letter”) from the Staff notifying the Company that the Company’s Common Stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, and, accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Bid Price Listing Rule”). On March 31, 2025, the Company timely requested an appeal of Nasdaq’s determination to delist the Company’s Common Stock on April 4, 2025, as a result of the Low Bid Price Listing Rule, which automatically stayed the delisting action, pending such hearing by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Accordingly, the March 2025 Letter from the Staff has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock at this time. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PTPI.”

At the hearing, the Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Bid Price Listing Rule. On March 18, 2025, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A in connection with the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 10, 2025, to approve certain proposals, including approval of a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock to increase the per share market price of the Company’s Common Stock to meet the Bid Price Listing Rule. Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that such proposal will be approved by Nasdaq. No assurances can be provided that the Company will obtain a favorable decision from the Hearings Panel, and/or that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.

Metuchen ABC

On January 18, 2022, Metuchen and Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Vivus Settlement Agreement”) related to the minimum purchase requirements under the Vivus Supply Agreement in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and certain reimbursement rights asserted by a third-party retailer in connection with quantities of the Company’s Stendra® product that were delivered to the third-party retailer and later returned. In connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company retained approximately $7.3 million of API inventory (representing the 2018 and 2019 minimum purchase requirements) out of approximately $12.4 million due under the

Vivus Supply Agreement, in conjunction with forgiveness of approximately $4.25 million of current liabilities relating to returned goods and minimum purchase commitments. In exchange for the API and reduction of current liabilities, Petros executed an interest-bearing promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Vivus in the principal amount of $10,201,758. The parties also entered into a Security Agreement to secure Petros’ obligations under the Note. The Company recorded the impact of this transaction, including the gain in the first quarter of 2022.

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) financing issued by or to Metuchen (including any subsidiaries and intermediaries) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions. Vivus released 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Company’s existing open purchase order (the “Open Purchase Order”) being held by Vivus, which represented approximately a six-month supply of inventory. Pursuant to the Vivus Settlement Agreement, Vivus released the remaining 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Open Purchase Order, later during the first quarter of 2022, upon the Company’s satisfaction of the remaining regulatory submission requirements.

Under the terms of the Note, the principal amount of $10,201,758 was payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning on April 1, 2022, through January 1, 2027. Interest on the principal amount accrued at a rate of 6% per year until the principal is repaid in full and is due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July, and October of each calendar year, commencing on April 1, 2022. The Company had the option to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time, with no premium or penalty. In the event of a default under the Security Agreement, all principal outstanding under the Note at the time of the default will bear interest at a rate of 9% per year until the full and final payment of all principal and interest under the Note (regardless of whether any default is waived or cured). If the Note is placed in the hands of any attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings, the Company will also be required to pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated January 18, 2022, the Company granted to Vivus a continuing security interest in all of its Stendra® API and products and its rights under the License Agreement (the “Collateral”). The Security Agreement contains customary events of default. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company paid Vivus $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

On October 1, 2024, the Company failed to make the payment due pursuant to the Note and related Security Agreement in the amount of $0.5 million, constituting an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note and Security Agreement. The outstanding principal amount on the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was $7,574,824 as of December 31, 2024. As a result of an event of default under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement existing and continuing by virtue of our failure to pay the Installment (as defined in the Note) that was due October 1, 2024 (the “Vivus Event of Default”), all the obligations under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement (the “Obligations”) became immediately due and payable on the date of the Foreclosure Notice (as defined below).

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, Vivus holds a security interest against the Collateral. On December 10, 2024, pursuant to a Notice of Proposal to Accept Pledged Collateral in Partial Satisfaction of Indebtedness Pursuant to Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-620 (the “Foreclosure Notice”), Vivus proposed to accept all the Collateral (save and except the Specified License Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement); collectively, the “Foreclosed Collateral”) in partial satisfaction of the Obligations. Vivus further proposed in the Foreclosure Notice that its acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral would only constitute satisfaction of $2,000,000 worth of the Obligations and would not include any other amounts outstanding under the Note, the Settlement Agreement, or the Security Agreement, including but not limited to (i) all interest accrued or at any time accruing thereon and (ii) all other sums recoverable by Vivus from Metuchen by virtue of the Obligations. On December 13, 2024, Metuchen accepted and agreed to the Foreclosure Notice.

In connection with the Foreclosure Notice, Metuchen and Vivus entered into that certain termination agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, pursuant to which, the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Vivus License Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2025 (the “Vivus Termination Agreement”), subject to the survival of certain provisions as set forth therein. As a result of the Vivus Termination Agreement, Metuchen no longer has any right in or to Vivus Technology (as defined in the Vivus License Agreement in the United States of America and its territories and possessions, including Puerto Rico and U.S. military bases abroad, Canada, South America and India (the “Licensed Territory”) and Metuchen agreed to immediately cease the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Stendra® in the Licensed Territory. Metuchen further agreed to assign any trademarks incorporating the mark “Stendra®” to Vivus, subject to certain exceptions as set forth therein. In furtherance of the Foreclosure Notice, and pursuant to the Termination Agreement,

Metuchen agreed to transfer all completed inventory of Stendra® and all substantially manufactured inventory of Stendra® on hand to Vivus at Metuchen’s sole expense within 30 days of the date of the Vivus Termination Agreement.

Pursuant to the Vivus Termination Agreement, Metuchen agreed to provide transition services to Vivus, including transferring any agreements or arrangements with distributors of Stendra®, to enable the development, manufacturing and commercialization of Stendra® to proceed without disruption. Additionally, Metuchen agreed to transfer to Vivus any regulatory approvals with respect to Stendra® controlled by Metuchen or its affiliates within 30 days of the date of the Vivus Termination Agreement.

Pursuant to the Vivus Termination Agreement, Metuchen further agreed that Metuchen will retain liability for payment of all gross to net sales deductions (including returns, rebates and chargeback) of Stendra® products that were sold prior to the date of the Vivus Termination Agreement and agreed to reimburse Vivus for any such deductions charged to or otherwise borne by Vivus.

In order to satisfy the Obligations, on March 31, 2025, the Board determined and approved that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders to effect assignment of all of the business, assets, properties, contractual rights, goodwill, going concern value, rights and claims of Metuchen, including Metuchen’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (the “Metuchen Assets”) for the benefit of Metuchen’s creditors. In accordance with state law, the Company expects Metuchen to assign (the “Assignment”) all of its right, title, interest in, and custody and control of Metuchen’s property to a special purpose vehicle that will be managed by a third-party fiduciary (the “Assignee”). Upon the completion of the Assignment, the Assignee will have sole control over the Metuchen Assets and Metuchen will no longer operate its business or control the liquidation or distribution of its assets or the resolution of claims. The Assignment is a judicial insolvency procedure, which is commenced by Metuchen entering a contractual assignment for the benefit of creditors that effectuates the assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, and setting over to the Assignee, in trust, of all of the Metuchen Assets. The Assignee is then expected to liquidate the property through an auction sale and distribute the proceeds to Metuchen’s creditors according to their respective priorities at law to satisfy Metuchen’s obligations, including the Obligations , in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State of California. If any proceeds remain after all of Metuchen’s obligations, including the Obligations, and costs associated with the liquidation process have been satisfied, any remaining proceeds will be distributed to Metuchen’s equity holder, which is the Company (collectively, the “ABC”).

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, by and between Metuchen and Sherwood Partners, Inc. (“Sherwood”), Sherwood agreed to provide certain consulting and advisory services in connection with the ABC, including in connection with the sale process and budgeting and planning process (the “Services”). In consideration for the Services, Metuchen has agreed to pay a fee to Sherwood equal to $60,000 and a cash fee equal to 9% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Metuchen Assets and has agreed to reimburse Sherwood for certain reasonable out of pocket expenses.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include the adequacy of accounts receivable reserves, return reserves, inventory reserves, assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment, and the valuation of the derivative liability, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, uncertainties related to commercialization of competitor products, regulatory approvals, dependence on key products, dependence on key customers and suppliers, and protection of intellectual property rights.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk includes cash. The Company maintains cash on deposit at U.S.-based banks in amounts which, at times, may be in excess of insured limits of $250,000.

Segment Reporting

The Company manages its operations throughtwo segments. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of operations related to Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) is its President, Chief Commercial Officer. The two segments have been identified based on the way in which financial information is regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess financial performance and allocate resources. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for each segment based on the net income or loss that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as net loss. The Company separately presents the costs associated with certain corporate functions as Corporate, primarily consisting of unallocated operating expenses including costs that were not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group, expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses. Interest and other income (expense), net is also not allocated to the operating segments. Research and development expenses are primarily incurred in Rx to OTC Strategy related to the prescription medication segment (see Note 19).

Revenue Recognition

Prescription Medication Sales

The Company’s prescription medication sales consist of sales of Stendra® in the U.S. for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606,Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide Stendra® upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of Stendra®, which is typically upon delivery. The Company invoices its customers after Stendra® has been delivered and invoice payments are generally due within 30 to 75 days of invoice date.

In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company delivers Stendra® to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. The Company records prescription medication sales net of any variable consideration, including but not limited to discounts, rebates, returns, chargebacks, and distribution service fees (“DSA”). The Company uses the expected value method when estimating its variable consideration, unless terms are specified within contracts. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from sales of Stendra® are recognized. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. These estimates may differ from actual consideration received. The Company evaluates these estimates each reporting period to reflect known changes.

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the reserves for sales deductions were $5.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, and DSA fees. The Company’s estimates are based on factors such as the Company’s direct and indirect customers’ buying patterns and the estimated resulting contractual deduction rates, historical experience, specific known market events and estimated future trends, current contractual and statutory requirements, industry data, estimated customer inventory levels, current contract sales terms with the Company’s direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation is required in developing the foregoing and other relevant assumptions. The most significant sales deductions are further described below.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return Stendra® and receive credit for product withinsix months prior to expiration date and up toone year after expiration date. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future Stendra® returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the reserves for product returns were $5.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 2023, respectively, the Company recorded $1.8 million and $3.4 million of returns as a reduction of gross revenue.

Contract Rebates, Coupon Redemptions and DSA Fees

The Company establishes contracts with wholesalers, chain stores, and indirect customers that provide for rebates, sales incentives, DSA fees and other allowances. Some customers receive rebates upon attaining established sales volumes. Direct rebates are generally rebates paid to direct purchasing customers based on a percentage applied to a direct customer’s purchases from the Company, including fees paid to wholesalers under the Company’s DSAs, as described below. Indirect rebates are rebates paid to indirect customers that have purchased the Company’s products from a wholesaler under a contract with the Company.

The Company has entered into DSAs with certain of the Company’s significant wholesaler customers that obligate the wholesalers, in exchange for fees paid by the Company, to: (i) manage the variability of their purchases and inventory levels within specified limits based on product demand and (ii) provide the Company with specific services, including the provision of periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels for the Company’s pharmaceutical products held at their warehouse locations. See Note 3. Accounts Receivable, net for further discussion of these reserves.

Medical Device Sales

The Company’s medical device sales consist of domestic and international sales of men’s health products for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The men’s health products do not require a prescription and include Vacuum Erection Devices, PreBoost, VenoSeal, penile injections (Rx), and urinary tract infection tests. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue from medical device sales when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide medical devices upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of the medical device, which is typically upon shipment. The Company invoices its customers after the medical devices have been shipped and invoice payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice date for domestic customers and 90 days for international customers.

In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company delivers the medical devices to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. The Company records medical device sales net of any variable consideration, including but not limited to returns. The Company uses the expected value method when estimating its variable consideration. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from the medical device sales are recognized. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. These estimates may differ from actual consideration received. The Company evaluates these estimates each reporting period to reflect known changes.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return medical devices and receive credit for products within 90 days of the sale. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future product returns and historical experience. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Contract Costs

In relation to customer contracts, the Company incurs costs to fulfill a contract but does not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. As such, the Company did not have any contract assets at December 31, 2024, and 2023.

Contract Liabilities

Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with a customer has been satisfied. In the event it has not been satisfied, the Company records deferred revenue as a liability on the balance sheet. As of December 2024, and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue was $0 and $0.1 million, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities. The Company believes that the carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, note payable, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company incurred liabilities related to issued warrants and derivatives arising from embedded features that were not clearly and closely related to the host instruments. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants and derivative liability utilizing the Black Scholes Model and a Monte Carlo Simulation approach, respectively. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. See Notes 20 and 21.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company extends credit to its customers on an unsecured basis. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, distribution service fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts. Expected credit losses are measured at amortized cost, including trade and unbilled receivables, on a collective basis, based on their similar risk characteristics. Expected credits losses are based on historical credit loss experience, review of the current aging or status of accounts receivable and current and forward-looking views from an economic and industry perspective. Receivables are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible. The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively were $0.1 million. See Note 3 Accounts Receivable, net.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolescence. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as expiry date, inventory turnover, and management’s assessment of current product demand. See Note 4 Inventories.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life that the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company reviews the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or the period over which they should be amortized has changed. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company determines whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.

The Vivus Event of Default constitutes a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, which may materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed due to a change in business strategy as the Company is pursuing the development of a proprietary integrated technology solutions platform (the “platform”) containing two components (i) SaaS, designed to assist pharmaceutical companies in operationalizing and commercializing an Rx-to-OTC switch as an element in the development of an ACNU Product, and (ii) a potential Software as a Medical Device (“SaMD”) component. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of the Stendra® asset of approximately $3.0 million on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. There wasno impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company has prepared a carrying value recoverability test for the Medical Device asset group as of December 31, 2024. Based on the analysis as of December 31, 2024, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment occurred as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the respective carrying values.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture and fixtures. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The Company uses an estimated useful life of 7 years for furniture and fixtures. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 was $30,596 and $10,220, respectively.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Topic 842 requires organizations to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component for all leases.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets whereas operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applies this policy to all underlying asset categories.

Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

See Note 10 Leases.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and restricted stock units, to be measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or restricted stock units. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model for stock options and the closing price per share on the date of the award for restricted stock units. Employee stock option and restricted stock units expense is recognized over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant), except for performance based milestones which is recognized upon the probability of achievement. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 12 Stock Options.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives per ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”). Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified with the related host contract in the Company’s balance sheet.

Preferred Stock

The Company records shares of convertible preferred stock at their respective fair values on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The Company concluded that the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), is more akin to a debt-type instrument than an equity-type instrument, therefore certain conversion features associated with the convertible preferred stock were deemed to not be clearly and closely related to the host instrument and were bifurcated as a derivative under ASC 815. The Company has applied the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99-3A,* SEC Staff Announcement: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities* and has therefore classified the Series A convertible preferred stock as mezzanine equity as it redeemable in monthly installments. The Company adjusts the carrying values of the convertible preferred stock by accreting the discount and accruing dividends to the state the convertible preferred stock at redemption value each reporting period.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, 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 Stock 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 each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The warrants are classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 as they could be net cash settled in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using a Black-Scholes approach (see Note 21).

Modification of warrants

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40 to account for warrants that are liability classified that are subsequently modified resulting in a reclassification to equity. The warrants are remeasured at fair value on the modification date, the change in fair value is recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations, and the warrants are reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC “) Topic 740, Income taxes (“ASC 740”), on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to various patent challenges, product liability claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping Costs

The Company records the costs of shipping related to prescription medication sales in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. There wereno shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, container and shipping costs related to medical devices are recorded in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, container costs related to medical devices are recorded as revenue and subsequently deducted as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping costs related to medical devices are recorded in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. Container and shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 were $158,662 and $136,808, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss applicable to Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the anti-dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase Common Stocks. The Company computes diluted net loss per Common Stock by dividing the net loss applicable to Common Stocks by the sum of the weighted-average number of Common Stocks outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase Common Stocks, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. In accordance with ASC 260, warrants that are accounted for as liabilities which are potentially dilutive have not been included in diluted earnings per share as they would have been anti-dilutive during the year ended December 31, 2023. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per stock of Common Stock for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. See Note 14 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Promissory Note

In connection with the Settlement Agreement entered into with Vivus (see Note 15), Petros executed an interest-bearing promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Vivus in the principal amount of $10,201,758. The parties also entered into a Security Agreement to secure Petros’ obligations under the Note.

Under the terms of the Note, the original principal amount of $10,201,758 is payable in consecutive quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning on April 1, 2022, through January 1, 2027. Interest on the principal amount accrues at a rate of 6% per year. The Company may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time, with no premium or penalty. In the event that the Company defaults under the Security Agreement, all principal outstanding under the Note at the time of the default will bear interest at a rate of 9% per year until the full and final payment of all principal and interest under the Note (regardless of whether any default is waived or cured). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated January 18, 2022, the Company granted to Vivus a continuing security interest in all of its Stendra® API and products and its rights under the License Agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company paid Vivus $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the principal balance on the Note is $7.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

On October 1, 2024, the Company failed to make the payment due pursuant to the Note and related Security Agreement in the amount of $0.5 million, constituting an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note and Security Agreement. The outstanding principal amount on the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was $7,574,824 as of December 31, 2024. As a result of an event of default under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement existing and continuing by virtue of the Company’s failure to pay the Installment (as defined in the Note) that was due October 1, 2024, all the obligations under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement (the “Obligations”) became immediately due and payable on the date of the Foreclosure Notice (as defined below).

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, Vivus holds a security interest against the Collateral. On December 10, 2024, pursuant to a Notice of Proposal to Accept Pledged Collateral in Partial Satisfaction of Indebtedness Pursuant to Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-620 (the “Foreclosure Notice”), Vivus proposed to accept all the Collateral (save and except the Specified License Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement); collectively, the “Foreclosed Collateral”) in partial satisfaction of the Obligations. Vivus further proposed in the Foreclosure Notice that its acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral would only constitute satisfaction of $2,000,000 worth of the Obligations and would not include any other amounts outstanding under the Note, the Settlement Agreement, or the Security Agreement, including but not limited to (i) all interest accrued or at any time accruing thereon and (ii) all other sums recoverable by Vivus from Metuchen by virtue of the Obligations. On December 13, 2024, Metuchen accepted and agreed to the Foreclosure Notice.

On December 21, 2023, the Company awarded four Directors grants totaling 160,000 options which vest 100% on April 10, 2024; grantedtwo executives andone employee options totaling 139,066 options with an exercise price of $1.41 per share, of which 84,533 options vesting immediately upon issuance and 54,533 vesting upon one executive meeting certain Company performance milestones. As of March 30, 2025, certain vested options and unvested options that vested or would otherwise would vest based on certain performance milestones to purchase an aggregate 54,533 shares of common stock were waived and/or forfeited by Mr. Boctor. The Company used the Black Scholes valuation method to determine fair value assuming the following: dividend rate of 0%, implied volatility of 107.1%, a weighted-average risk-free interest rate of 3.7%, and have a fair value of $1.01 per share.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, was $197,215 and $417,230, respectively, and is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense (excluding performance awards) is $0.

  1. Common Stock Warrants

Pursuant to the Private Placement (see Note 20), the Company issued to investors warrants to purchase 6,666,668 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.25 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period offive years from the date of issuance. In connection with the Private Placement, pursuant to the Engagement Letter, between the Company and the Placement Agent, the Company issued the Placement Agent warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock equal to 8% of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Preferred Shares are initially convertible into (533,333 warrant shares), with an exercise price of $2.25 per share and afive-year term (the “Placement Agent Warrants,” and, collectively the “Warrants”).

The Warrants were originally determined to be within the scope of ASC 815 as they are puttable to the Company at the Holders’ election upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreements). As such, the Company recorded the Warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of these warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the Warrants of $21,544,000 was estimated at the date of issuance using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; expected term of 5.0 years; equity volatility of 110.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 3.93%.

Transaction costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the Warrants of $2,855,000 were immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 480.

On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into waiver and amendment agreements with the investors effective December 31, 2023, which modified certain terms and conditions of the Warrants, including modifying the form of consideration that the Holders’ could receive upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (the “Warrant Amendment”), specifically, the Holders can only receive the same consideration as Common Stockholders upon a Fundamental Transaction. The modification resulted in the reclassification of the Warrants to be considered equity classified as they were no longer in the scope of ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company remeasured the Warrants at fair value as of December 31, 2023, the effective date of the modification, and recognized the change in fair value as a non-cash gain and reclassified the Warrants to additional paid-in capital at December 31, 2023 (see below).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $13,974,000 related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Statements of Operations. The fair value of the Warrants of $7,570,000 was estimated at December 31, 2023, prior to the effective date of the Warrant Amendment, utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; remaining term of 4.53 years; equity volatility of 115.0%; and a risk-free interest rate of 3.88%. As a result of the Warrant Amendment, the Company reclassified the remaining fair value of the Warrants of $7,570,000 to additional paid-in capital.

  1. Marketing, Licensing and Distribution Agreements

(a) Vivus

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Vivus to purchase and receive a license for the commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® for a one-time fee of $70 million. The License Agreement gives the Company the right to sell Stendra® in the U.S and its territories, Canada, South America, and India. In December 2000, Vivus originally was granted the license from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (“MTPC”) to develop, market, and manufacture Stendra®. Stendra® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in April 2012 to treat male erectile dysfunction.

Under the License Agreement, the Company will pay MTPC a royalty of 5% on the first $500 million of net sales and 6% of net sales thereafter. In consideration for the trademark assignment and the use of the trademarks associated with the product and the Vivus technology, the Company shall (a) during the first, second, and third years following the expiration of the Royalty Period in a particular country in the Company’s territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 2% of the net sales of products in such territory; and (b) following the fourth and fifth years following the end of the Royalty Period in such territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of products in such territory. Thereafter, no further royalties shall be owed with respect to net sales of Stendra® in such territory.

In addition, the Company will be responsible for a pro-rata portion of a $6 million milestone payment to be paid once $250 million in sales has been reached on the separate revenue stream of Stendra®. Should the $250 million of sales threshold be reached, the Company will be responsible for $3.2 million of the milestone payment.

In connection with the License Agreement, the Company and Vivus also entered into a Supply Agreement on the effective date of the License Agreement, which has since been terminated, effective September 30, 2021.

On January 18, 2022, Petros and Vivus entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Vivus Settlement Agreement”) related to the minimum purchase requirements under the Vivus Supply Agreement in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and certain reimbursement rights asserted by a third-party retailer in connection with quantities of the Company’s Stendra® product that were delivered to the third-party retailer and later returned. In connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement, Petros retained approximately $7.3 million of API inventory under the Vivus Supply Agreement. In exchange for the API and reduction of current liabilities after prepayment of $900,000, Petros executed the Note in favor of Vivus in the principal amount of $10,201,758, which the Company believes approximates fair value (See Note 9).

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions Vivus released 100% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets by the end of the first quarter 2022.

As a result of entering into the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company decreased accrued expenses by $6.5 million and decreased accrued inventory purchases by $14.2 million; which were partially offset by a decrease in API purchase commitments of $6.2 million and an increase to liabilities for the Note of $10.2 million (which is net of the $0.9 million prepayment on the Note). As a result, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on settlement.

On October 1, 2024, the Company failed to make the payment due pursuant to the Note and related Security Agreement in the amount of $0.5 million, constituting an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) under the Note and Security Agreement. The outstanding principal amount on the Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, was $7.6 million as of December 31, 2024. As a result of an event of default under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement existing and continuing by virtue of the Company’s failure to pay the Installment (as defined in the Note) that was due October 1, 2024, all the obligations under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement became immediately due and payable on the date of the Foreclosure Notice (as defined below).

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, Vivus holds a security interest against the Collateral. On December 10, 2024, pursuant to a Notice of Proposal to Accept Pledged Collateral in Partial Satisfaction of Indebtedness Pursuant to Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-620, Vivus proposed to accept all the Collateral (save and except the Specified License Agreement (as defined in the Security Agreement)) in partial satisfaction of the Obligations. Vivus further proposed in the Foreclosure Notice that its acceptance of the Foreclosed Collateral would only constitute satisfaction of $2,000,000 worth of the Obligations and would not include any other amounts outstanding under the Note, the Settlement Agreement, or the Security Agreement, including but not limited to (i) all interest accrued or at any time accruing thereon and (ii) all other sums recoverable by Vivus from Metuchen by virtue of the Obligations. On December 13, 2024, Metuchen accepted and agreed to the Foreclosure Notice.

API inventory is not a finished good. The Company has $1.6 million of API which is classified as prepaid inventory. The additional API inventory that the Company does not have title to was classified as API Product in either other current assets or other assets, depending on whether the Company expects to take title to the product within one year from the date of the financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed for its API assets due to a change in business strategy as the Company is pursuing the development of a proprietary integrated technology solutions platform (the “platform”) containing two components (i) SaaS, designed to assist pharmaceutical companies in operationalizing and commercializing an Rx-to-OTC switch as an element in the development of an ACNU Product, and (ii) a potential Software as a Medical Device (“SaMD”) component. The Company recorded an impairment of approximately $4.4 million on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, there was $0 and $0.7 million respectively included in other current assets (see Note 6 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, there was $0 and $4.2 million included as other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $98,064 and $114,319 respectively. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had a receivable for royalties of $6,244 and $56,503, respectively, which is included in other current assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets (see Note 6 Prepaid and Other Current Assets).

The license agreement between MTPC and Vivus (“MTPC License”) contains certain termination rights that would allow MTPC to terminate the agreement if Vivus were to breach any of the terms of the MTPC License or become insolvent or bankrupt. In the event that MTPC terminates the MTPC License with Vivus because of any contractual breach the Company has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow the Company to continue to sell Stendra®.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not expect the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are as follows:

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · ​

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance related to its deferred income tax assets by considering whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets, as it is in the opinion of management that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) will not be utilized in the foreseeable future.

The cumulative valuation allowance as of December 31, 2024, is $20.4 million, which will be reduced if and when the Company determines that the deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s estimated aggregate total NOLs were $52.2 million for U.S. federal purposes with an indefinite life due to regulations set forth in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The future utilization of the NOLs are limited to 80% of taxable income. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382 analysis regarding the limitation of NOL carryforwards. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s estimated State NOLs were $30.0 million.

The Company files its tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit in any taxing jurisdictions. The federal statute of limitations for audit consideration is 3 years from the filing date and generally states implement a statute of limitations between 3 and 5 years.

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations for both federal taxes and the many states in which the Company operates or does business in. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.

The Company records uncertain tax positions as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjust these liabilities when the Company’s judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the Company’s current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions in the Company’s financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2024, no accrued interest or penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.

Provision enacted in the TCJA related to the capitalization for tax purposes of research and experimental expenditures became effective on January 1, 2022. This provision requires the Company to capitalize research and experimental expenditures and amortize them on the U.S. tax return over five or fifteen years, depending on where the research is conducted. This provision is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s calendar year 2024 effective tax rate on a net basis or the Company’s cash paid for taxes due to the Company’s net operating loss position.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. Exceptions may apply, for example, if the repurchases are less than $1,000 or issued to employees. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. Management believes that this will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  1. Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has a qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering eligible employees. Eligible employees can contribute to the defined contribution plan, subject to certain limitations, on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches up to 100% of the first 6% of each employee’s contribution and is recognized as expense in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. Employer contributions were $53,553 and $64,062 for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

  1. Segment Information

The Company manages its operations throughtwo segments. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of operations related to Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related

to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its President, Chief Commercial Officer. The two segments have been identified based on the way in which financial information is regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess financial performance and allocate resources. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for each segment based on the net income or loss that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as net loss. The Company separately presents the costs associated with certain corporate functions as Corporate, primarily consisting of unallocated operating expenses including costs that were not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group, expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses. Interest and other income (expense), net is also not allocated to the operating segments. Research and development expenses are primarily incurred in Rx to OTC Strategy related to the prescription medication segment (Stendra®).

On July 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a private placement to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of the Company’s newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share and stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), initially convertible into up to 6,666,668 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $2.25 per share and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 6,666,668 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (collectively, the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) and the Warrants, each of the Conversion Price (as defined below) and the exercise price and the number of shares underlying the Warrants is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). As of December 31, 2024, the Conversion Price and the exercise price of the Warrants was equal to $0.24 per share.

The Private Placement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on July 17, 2023. The aggregate net proceeds from the Private Placement were $13,740,003. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.

The Company engaged Katalyst Securities LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to an Engagement Letter with the Placement Agent, the Company paid to the Placement Agent or its designees (i) a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 533,334 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) on the same terms as the Warrants.

Transaction costs totaling $2,855,000 were incurred related to the Private Placement and consisted of $1,260,000 in cash expenses for placement agent and legal fees and $1,595,000 representing the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants. These costs were proportionately allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants based on the allocated gross proceeds of the instruments. Accordingly, none of the transaction costs were allocated against the carrying value of the Preferred Stock and $2,855,000 of transaction costs were immediately expensed related to the Warrants which are accounted for under ASC 480 (see Note 13).

Series A Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series A Preferred Shares are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $2.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions).

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, and prior to the filing of the November 2024 Certificate of Amendment (as defined below) and the January 2025 Certificate of Amendment (as defined below), the Company was required to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares in 13 equal monthly installments, commencing on November 1, 2023.

On November 13, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with the Required Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), pursuant to which, the Required Holders agreed to (i) amend the Certificate of Designations, by filing a Certificate of

Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “November 2024 Certificate of Amendment”), (ii) defer any payment amounts that have accrued and that are unpaid as of November 13, 2024, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, to January 15, 2025, and (iii) waive any breach or violation of the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, or the Warrants resulting from the Company’s failure to pay such outstanding amounts (the “November 2024 Certificate of Amendment”). The November 2024 Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Designations to, (i) extend the maturity date to January 15, 2025, (ii) modify the schedule of Installment Dates (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), and (iii) adds an additional restrictive covenant to the Certificate of Designations requiring the Company from November 13, 2024 until January 15, 2025, to maintain unencumbered, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand in amount equal to at least $1,500,000. The November 2024 Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective as of November 13, 2024.

On March 30 2025, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “March 2025 Amendment Agreement”) with the Required Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), pursuant to which, the Required Holders agreed to (i) amend the Certificate of Designations of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designations (the “March 2025 Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (ii) defer any payment amounts that have accrued and that are unpaid as of the date of the March 2025 Amendment Agreement, pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, to July 15, 2025, and (iii) waive any breach or violation of the Purchase Agreement, the Certificate of Designations, or the Warrants resulting from the Company’s failure to pay such outstanding amounts. The March 2025 Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Designations to, (i) extend the maturity date to July 15, 2025, and (ii) modify the schedule of Installment Dates (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). The March 2025 Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective as of March 31, 2025.

The amortization payments due upon redemptions are payable, at the Company’s election, in cash at 107% of the Installment Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of Common Stock valued at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A)80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Common Stock during thethirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of $0.396, which is 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval (as defined below) or such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events. The Company may require holders to convert their Series A Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $6.75 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000) per day during the same period and certain equity conditions described in the Certificate of Designations are satisfied.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 8% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of Common Stock, or in a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. On September 29, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock were amended to permit certain additional procedures for the payment of redemptions and conversions Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series A Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares will be able to require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series A Preferred Shares at a premium set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment.

The event of default under the Settlement Agreement and the Security Agreement with Vivus existing and continuing by virtue of Metuchen’s failure to pay the Installment (as defined in the Promissory Note) that was due October 1, 2024, constitutes a Triggering Event pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations. As a result, the dividend rate of the Series A Preferred Stock was automatically increased to 15% per annum beginning on October 1, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company experienced an Equity Conditions Failure in which the Company’s average stock price during the Installment Conversion Price Measuring Period (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) corresponding to the September 1, 2024, and October 1, 2024, and November 1, 2024, installments (the “Affected Installments”) was below the Floor Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) (the “Floor Price Condition”). As a result of the Floor Price Condition, the Company is required to redeem the Affected Installments as well as any previously deferred installment amounts at a 125% premium. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional liability for penalty premiums totaling $697,504 (the “ECF Premiums”) as of December 31, 2024, related to the Floor Price Condition, which is included in Accrued Series A Convertible Preferred payments payable on the

accompanying consolidated balance sheet, and a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was recognized as a deemed dividend.

On October 11, 2024, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with the Required Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) pursuant to which, the Required Holders agreed to amend the Certificate of Designations of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, by filing a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (“October 2024 Certificate of Amendment”). The October 2024 Certificate of Amendment amends the Certificate of Designations to, among other things, provide that, except as required by applicable law, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote with holders of the Common Stock on an as converted basis, with the number of votes to which each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to be determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) by a conversion price equal to $2.25 per share, which was the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)) applicable immediately before the execution and delivery of the purchase agreement executed in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations and adjustments for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. The October 2024 Certificate of Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective as of October 11, 2024.

During December 2023, the Company issued as equity awards shares of Common Stock and options to purchase shares of Common Stock representing an aggregate of 348,711 shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the options to certain directors, officers, and employees of the Company, representing an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 5% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “December Issuances”). Under the terms of the Certificate of Designations, the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Shares was required to be adjusted as a result of the December Issuances. On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into waiver and amendment agreements with investors effective December 31, 2023, in which the investors waived the contractual requirement to adjust the Conversion Price related to the December Issuances and designated the December Issuances as Excluded Securities as defined in the Certificate of Designations.

The Series A Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimated the $6,140,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock of $3.54 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 165.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 790.0%, the time to maturity of 1.38 years, a risk free rate of 5.0%, a discounted market interest rate of 8.1%, dividend rate of 8.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 9.7%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.

The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Shares. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a total discount of $15,000,000 upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of $6,140,000 and the difference between the remaining gross proceeds after allocation to the derivative liability and the residual fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares of $8,860,003, which represents the portion of the Warrant liability allocated to the discount. It was deemed probable that the Series A Preferred Shares will become redeemable, the Company accreted the Series A Preferred Shares from inception to December 31, 2023, pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A utilizing the effective interest method. As the fair value of the liabilities required to be subsequently measured at fair value exceeded the net proceeds received, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received as a loss upon issuance of preferred stock of $11,088,997 which is included in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $2,590,000 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimated the $3,550,000 fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at December 31, 2023 using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock of $1.41 on the valuation date, estimated equity volatility of 115.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 435.0%, the time to maturity of 0.92 years, risk free rate of 4.9%, a discounted market interest rate of 14.0%, dividend rate of 8.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 10.1%.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $3,550,000 related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and reflects a derivative liability of $0 at December 31, 2024, as the Company had redeemed, converted, or accrued for redemption all Series A Preferred Shares as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has notified the investors of its intention to redeem the upcoming installments due in cash and recorded a liability of $2,047,582 representing the cash payable to investors which includes $1,726,352 of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Shares, $187,277 of accrued dividends payable, and $133,955 for the cash premium which was recognized as a deemed dividend. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has redeemed an aggregate 2,930 Series A Preferred Shares for cash of $1,998,901 and issued 822,112 shares of Common Stock, elected pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, worth $1,195,745 in relief of the accrued Series A Preferred Stock payments payable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has recognized $821,456 of preferred dividends which is comprised of $556,733 of preferred dividends at the stated dividend rate and $264,723 of deemed dividends for cash premium for installment redemptions.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has notified the investors of its intention to redeem the remaining installments due in cash and recorded a liability of $1,909,496 representing the cash payable to investors which includes $853,185 of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Shares, $314,998 of accrued dividends payable, and $741,313 for the cash premiums (inclusive of the ECF Premiums) which was recognized as a deemed dividend. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has redeemed an aggregate 10,022 Series A Preferred Shares for cash of $6,234,087 and issued 7,076,754 shares of Common Stock, elected pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, worth $6,791,325 in relief of the accrued Series A Preferred Stock payments payable. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has recognized $2,308,122 of preferred dividends which is comprised of $1,292,916 of preferred dividends at the stated dividend rate and $1,015,206 of deemed dividends for cash premium for installment redemptions.

The Company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Series A Preferred Shares and the Company does not intend to list the Series A Preferred Shares on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Warrants

The Warrants became exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) immediately upon issuance, at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”) and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Exercise Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be increased proportionately. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants and the Company does not intend to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

On March 21, 2024, the Company entered into an Omnibus Waiver and Amendment (the “Waiver and Amendment”) with the Investors in the Private Placement, effective as of December 31, 2023. The Waiver and Amendment amended certain terms of the Warrants relating to the rights of the holders of the Warrants to provide that, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holder of a Warrant shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of such Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 200% of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the effective date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 covering such securities, which registration statement, as amended, was declared effective on September 18, 2023. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the investors if the Company fails to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to file or cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

21) Fair Value Measurements

The Company maintains cash in checking and money market accounts with financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the time they are acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had approximately $1.0 million of cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, and approximately $10.4 million as of December 31, 2023.

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the year ended December 31, 2024. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2024, due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative related to the convertible preferred stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock and estimates for the equity volatility and traded volume volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, the time to maturity of the convertible preferred stock, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to maturity, dividend rate, a penalty dividend rate, and the Company’s probability of default. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the Black Scholes Model which uses as inputs the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield, expected term in years; equity volatility; the stock price and risk-free interest rate.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability and bifurcated embedded derivatives represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

In order to satisfy the Obligations, on March 31, 2025, the Board determined and approved that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders to effect assignment of all of the business, assets, properties, contractual rights, goodwill, going concern value, rights and claims of Metuchen, including Metuchen’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (the “Metuchen Assets”) for the benefit of Metuchen’s creditors. In accordance with state law, the Company expects Metuchen to assign (the “Assignment”) all of its right, title, interest in, and custody and control of Metuchen’s property to a special purpose vehicle that will be managed by a third-party fiduciary (the “Assignee”). Upon the completion of the Assignment, the Assignee will have sole control over the Metuchen Assets and Metuchen will no longer operate its business or control the liquidation or distribution of its assets or the resolution of claims. The Assignment is a judicial insolvency procedure, which is commenced by Metuchen entering a contractual assignment for the benefit of creditors that effectuates the assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, and setting over to the Assignee, in trust, of all of the Metuchen Assets. The Assignee is then expected to liquidate the property through an auction sale and distribute the proceeds to Metuchen’s creditors according to their respective priorities at law to satisfy Metuchen’s obligations, including the Obligations, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State of California. If any proceeds remain after all of Metuchen’s obligations, including the Obligations, and costs associated with the liquidation process have been satisfied, any remaining proceeds will be distributed to Metuchen’s equity holder, which is the Company (collectively, the “ABC”).

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, by and between Metuchen and Sherwood Partners, Inc. (“Sherwood”), Sherwood agreed to provide certain consulting and advisory services in connection with the ABC, including in connection with the sale process and budgeting and planning process (the “Services”). In consideration for the Services, Metuchen has agreed to pay a fee to Sherwood equal to $60,000 and a cash fee equal to 9% of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Metuchen Assets and has agreed to reimburse Sherwood for certain reasonable out of pocket expenses.
