Current report
Revenues— Revenues were $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease is primarily related to the continued winding down of the PUR1900 Phase 2b clinical trial, for which the Company incurred fewer expenses eligible for reimbursement under the Cipla Agreement as compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.
Current report
General and administrative expenses — General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of approximately $0.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in incurred legal costs.
Current report
Loss on disposal group held for sale— Loss on disposal group held for sale was $2.6 million on certain assets held for sale as of June 30, 2024, in connection with the MannKind Transaction, as compared to no loss on disposal group held for sale for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Previous report
Net income — Net income increased $5.2 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily related to the contract modification of the Cipla Agreement for PUR1900, mentioned above, which resulted in a cumulative catch-up adjustment in non-cash revenue recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company recognized $4.0 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily associated with the cumulative catch-up from the in-period contract modification, that had been included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period, which leaves only $0.4 million remaining in deferred revenue at March 31, 2024.

Our current pipeline is aligned to this goal as we develop iSPERSE™-based therapeutic candidates which target the prevention and treatment of a range of diseases, including CNS disorders and pulmonary diseases. These therapeutic candidates include PUR3100 for the treatment of acute migraine, PUR1800 for the treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“AECOPD”), and PUR1900 for the treatment of ABPA in patients with asthma and in patients with cystic fibrosis (“CF”). Each program is enabled by its unique iSPERSE™ formulation designed to achieve specific therapeutic objectives.

We will receive 2% royalties on any potential future net sales by Cipla outside the United States.
Previous wording
To date, we have not generated any product sales. The revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were primarily generated from the Cipla Agreement as related to our PUR1900 program, which is currently in the process of winding down as previously discussed.

Previous wording
Research and development activities are central to our business model. We utilize a combination of internal and external efforts to advance product development from early-stage work to clinical trial manufacturing and clinical trial support. External efforts include work with consultants and substantial work at CROs and CMOs. We support an internal research and development team and facility for our pipeline and other potential development programs. To move these programs forward along our development timelines, a large portion (approximately 86%) of our staff are research and development employees. In addition, we maintain an office and research and development facility which includes capital equipment for the manufacture and characterization of our iSPERSE*™* powders for our development efforts. As we identify opportunities for iSPERSE*™* in additional indications, we anticipate additional headcount, capital, and development costs will be incurred to support these programs. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, however, we cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of these or other current or future preclinical studies and clinical trials. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including the uncertainties of future clinical and preclinical studies, uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment rates and changing government regulation. In addition, the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability.
Current wording
Research and development activities are central to our business model. We have utilized a combination of internal and external efforts to advance product development from early-stage work to clinical trial manufacturing and clinical trial support. External efforts have included work with consultants and substantial work at CROs and CMOs. We have historically supported an internal research and development team and facility for our pipeline and other potential development programs, however following the closing of the MannKind Transaction in the third quarter of 2024, in which the majority of our research and development employees were terminated and our facility lease was assigned to MannKind, we expect to utilize external resources for further development. To continue development of existing programs or opportunities identified for iSPERSE*™*in any new indications, we will need to secure additional funding and anticipate additional development costs would be incurred. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, however, we cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of these or other current or future preclinical studies and clinical trials. The duration, costs and timing of our future clinical trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including the selected development path and uncertainties associated with clinical and preclinical studies, clinical trial enrollment rates and changing government regulation. In addition, the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability.
Previous wording
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as they relate to audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer liability insurance, investor relations costs and other costs associated with being a public company. Additionally, if and when we believe a regulatory approval of a product candidate appears likely, we anticipate an increase in staffing and related expenses as a result of our preparation for commercial operations, especially as it relates to the sales and marketing of our product candidates.

Previous wording
We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses over the next several years due to development costs associated with our iSPERSE™pipeline programs. We expect that we will need additional capital to fund our operations as we continue to incur research and development and general and administrative expenses. We may raise such capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, other third-party funding and other collaborations and strategic alliances. We are currently exploring financing or partnership arrangements to develop and initiate a potential Phase 2 clinical study for PUR3100.

In May 2023, the World Health Organization determined that COVID-19 no longer fit the definition of a public health emergency and the U.S. government announced its plan to let the declaration of a public health emergency associated with COVID-19 expire on May 11, 2023. The COVID-19 endemic and its ongoing effects are expected to remain a serious endemic threat for an indefinite future period and may continue to create significant economic uncertainty and volatility in the credit and capital markets, supply chain issues, global shortages of supplies, materials and products, and contribute to rising global inflation. In addition, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, including related sanctions and countermeasures, are difficult to predict, and could adversely impact geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions, the global economy, and contribute to increased market volatility, which may in turn adversely affect our business and operations. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional capital and may tailor our drug candidate development program based on the amount of funding we are able to raise in the future. Nevertheless, there is no assurance that these initiatives will be successful.
