We had total revenue of $17,301 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 that generated a gross profit of $13,028 for the period.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2024, we had total assets of $31.8 million, cash and cash equivalents of $17.7 million and working capital of $7.2 million.

Current wording

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Previous wording

The decrease in cash (used in) provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $5,500 sale of royalty interests to Azurity in June 2023, a $1,000 milestone payment related to 2023 ALKINDI SPRINKLE® sales in January 2024, and increased inventory purchases for ALKINDI SPRINKLE®, Carglumic Acid, Nitisinone, and PKU GOLIKE® in 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities was due to a $1,868 payment related to the acquisition of the PKU GOLIKE® product license in March 2024. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to payments on the Company's long-term debt.

Current wording

The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily due to a $5,500 sale of royalty interests to Azurity in June 2023, a $1,000 milestone payment related to 2023 ALKINDI SPRINKLE® sales in January 2024, and increased inventory purchases for ALKINDI SPRINKLE®, Carglumic Acid, Nitisinone, and PKU GOLIKE® in 2024. The decrease in cash from investing activities was due to a $1,868 payment related to the acquisition of the PKU GOLIKE® product license in March 2024. The decrease in cash from financing activities was primarily due to payments on the Company's long-term debt.

Previous wording

For its ALKINDI SPRINKLE®, Carglumic Acid, Betaine Anhydrous, Nisitinone, and PKU GOLIKE® products, the Company bills at the initial product list price which are subject to offsets for patient co-pay assistance and potential state Medicaid reimbursements which are estimated and recorded as a reduction of net revenues at the date of sale/shipment. Selling prices initially billed to wholesalers are subject to discounts for prompt payment and subsequent chargebacks when the wholesalers sell products at negotiated discounted prices to members of certain group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) and government programs. Because of the shelf life of the product and the Company’s lengthy return period, there may be a significant period of time between when the product is shipped and when it issues credits on returned product.
