Current report

We no longer have a recurring source of revenue, and our current ability to generate revenue is largely dependent on Cosette’s achieving certain sales-based milestones.

Current report

Under the Purchase Agreement, we are entitled to receive milestone payments of up to $159,000,000 (“Milestone Payments”) from Cosette on sales of Vyleesi. Before any of our new product candidates are approved for commercialization, our ability to generate revenue currently depends on Milestone Payments under the Purchase Agreement with Cosette and our ability to develop and license our new products under development. Accordingly, our ability to continue funding our new product development activities and operations may be dependent on Cosette’s ability to successfully market, sell and distribute Vyleesi and to perform its contractual obligations. Milestone Payments from Cosette for sales of Vyleesi may not be sufficient to fully fund our current operations, and there can be no assurance that Milestone Payments will be sufficient to fund our future operations. The amount of Milestone Payments we will receive under the Purchase Agreement is uncertain, and we have no control over the efforts and resources Cosette devotes to the marketing and sale of Vyleesi. If Cosette is unsuccessful and we do not receive sufficient Milestone Payments, we will need to explore other sources of capital to fund our operations.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $412.0 million. We had $24.0 million in net loss for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to $36.2 million in net loss for the year ended June 30, 2022. We may not achieve or sustain profitability in future years, depending on numerous factors, including whether and when we enter into license agreements for any of our products under development, regulatory actions by the FDA and other regulatory bodies, the performance of our licensees, and market acceptance of our products.

Previous wording

We intend to focus future efforts on our MC1r product candidates, primarily for ocular indications. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $9.5 million, with current liabilities of $11.2 million. Based on our available cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, we have concluded that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date our consolidated financial statements are issued and we are seeking additional funding to complete development activities and required clinical trials for our MC1r product candidates and, if those clinical trials are successful (which we cannot predict), to complete submission of required regulatory applications to the FDA.

Current wording

Previous wording

Under our sales agreement with Cosette, we can receive up to $159 million in contingent, sales-based milestone payments. We have no control over the sales strategy that Cosette employs, and cannot predict whether Cosette will meet sales milestones, ranging from annual net sales of $15 million to $200 million. We cannot predict whether Cosette will be able successfully manufacture Vyleesi for worldwide markets or will be successful in educating physicians and patients about the benefits, administration and use of Vyleesi for HSDD.

Previous wording

The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine could cause geopolitical instability, economic uncertainty, financial markets volatility and capital markets disruption, which may adversely affect our revenue, financial condition, or results of operations.

Current wording

The ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas could cause geopolitical instability, economic uncertainty, financial markets volatility and capital markets disruption, which may adversely affect our revenue, financial condition, or results of operations.

Previous wording

The current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine may disrupt or otherwise adversely impact our operations and those of third parties upon which we rely. Related sanctions, export controls or other actions that have already been initiated or may in the future be initiated by nations including the U.S., the European Union or Russia (e.g., potential cyberattacks, disruption of energy flows, etc.) can adversely affect our business, our contract research organizations, and other third parties with which we conduct business. Resulting volatility, disruption, or deterioration in the credit and financial markets may further make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult and more costly. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business strategy, financial performance, and stock price and could require us to delay or abandon clinical development plans. In addition, there is a risk that one or more of our current service providers, manufacturers, or other partners may be adversely impacted by deteriorating economic conditions, which could directly affect our ability to attain our operating goals and to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities.
