The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2023 10-K Report”), and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1, Financial Statements, appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“10-Q Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 10-K Report under the heading “Risk Factors.” We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Certain amounts in the following discussion may not add due to rounding, and all percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

Forward-looking statements

This 10-Q Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. For example, statements regarding our operations, financial position, debt position, liquidity, business strategy, and other plans and objectives for future operations, and assumptions and predictions about future cost reduction strategies, expenses and royalties are all forward-looking statements. These statements are generally accompanied by words such as “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “potential(ly),” “continue,” “forecast,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. We believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, based on information available to us on the date of this 10-Q Report, and we cannot assure you that these assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any action that we may presently be planning. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or experience may differ materially from those expected or anticipated in the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any statements to reflect new information or future events or developments, except as required by law or by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our liquidity requirements, supply chain issues, management transitions, risks related to our licensing agreements, market and general economic factors, and the other risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 10-K Report, as updated and supplemented by Part II, Item 1A of this 10-Q Report.

Our company

TherapeuticsMD was previously a women’s healthcare company with a mission of creating and commercializing innovative products to support the lifespan of women from pregnancy prevention through menopause. In December 2022, we changed our business to become a pharmaceutical royalty company, primarily collecting royalties from our licensees. We are no longer engaged in research and development or commercial operations. On December 30, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), we completed a transaction (the “Mayne Transaction”) with Mayne Pharma LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mayne Pharma”) and subsidiary of Mayne Pharma Group Limited, an Australian public company, pursuant to which we (i) granted Mayne Pharma an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and prescription prenatal vitamin products sold under the BocaGreenMD and vitaMedMD brands (collectively, the “Licensed Products”) in the United States and its possessions and territories, (ii) assigned to Mayne Pharma our exclusive license to commercialize ANNOVERA (together with the Licensed Products, collectively, the “Products”) in the United States and its possessions and territories, and (iii) sold certain other assets to Mayne Pharma in connection therewith.

Pursuant to a License Agreement, dated December 4, 2022, between TherapeuticsMD and Mayne Pharma (the “Mayne License Agreement”), we granted Mayne Pharma, on the Closing Date, (i) an exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to research, develop, register, manufacture, have manufactured, market, sell, use, and commercialize the Licensed Products in the United States and its possessions and territories and (ii) an exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to manufacture, have manufactured, import and have imported the Licensed Products outside the United States for commercialization in the United States and its possessions and territories. Pursuant to the Mayne License Agreement, Mayne Pharma will pay us one-time, milestone payments of each of (i) $5.0 million if aggregate net sales of all Products in the United States during a calendar year reach $100.0 million, (ii) $10.0 million if aggregate net sales of all Products in the United States during a calendar year reach $200.0 million and (iii) $15.0 million if aggregate net sales of all Products in the United States during a calendar year reach $300.0 million. Further, Mayne Pharma will pay us royalties on net sales of all Products in the United States at a royalty rate of 8.0% on the first $80 million in annual net sales and 7.5% on annual net sales above $80.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, for a period of 20 years following the Closing Date. The royalty rate will decrease to 2.0% on a Product-by-Product basis upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration or revocation of the last patent covering a Product and (ii) a generic version of a Product launching in the United States. Mayne Pharma will pay us minimum annual royalties of $3.0 million per year for 12 years, adjusted for inflation at an annual rate of 3%, subject to certain further adjustments, including as described below (the “Minimum Annual Royalty”). Upon the expiry of the 20-year royalty term, the licenses granted to Mayne Pharma under the Mayne License Agreement will become a fully paid-up and royalty free license for the Licensed Products.

Pursuant to a Transaction Agreement, dated December 4, 2022, between TherapeuticsMD and Mayne Pharma (the “Transaction Agreement”), we sold to Mayne Pharma, at closing, certain assets for Mayne Pharma to commercialize the Products in the United States, including our exclusive license from the Population Council to commercialize ANNOVERA (the “Transferred Assets”).

The total consideration from Mayne Pharma to us for the purchase of the Transferred Assets and the grant of the licenses under the Mayne License Agreement was (i) a cash payment of $140.0 million at closing, (ii) a cash payment of approximately $12.1 million at closing for the acquisition of net working capital as determined in accordance with the Transaction Agreement and subject to certain adjustments, (iii) a cash payment of approximately $1.0 million at closing for prepaid royalties in connection with the Mayne License Agreement Amendment (as defined below) and (iv) the right to receive the contingent consideration set forth in the Mayne License Agreement, as amended. The acquisition of net working capital was determined in accordance with the Transaction Agreement and included significant estimates which could change materially for a period of up to two years following the Closing Date.

On the Closing Date, TherapeuticsMD and Mayne Pharma entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Mayne License Agreement (the “Mayne License Agreement Amendment”). Pursuant to the Mayne License Agreement Amendment, Mayne Pharma agreed to pay us approximately $1.0 million in prepaid royalties on the Closing Date. The prepaid royalties reduced the first four quarterly payments that would have otherwise been payable pursuant to the Mayne License Agreement by an amount equal to $257 thousand per quarterly royalty payment plus interest calculated at 19% per annum accruing from the Closing Date until the date such quarterly royalty payment was paid to us. We and Mayne Pharma settled the $1.5 million of consideration due to Mayne for the assumed obligations under a long-term services agreement, including our minimum payment obligations thereunder. As the parties agreed, during the second quarter of 2023, Mayne Parma held back our royalty payment of $0.6 million and we funded an additional $0.9 million in August 2023 to settle the original $1.5 million payable.

This action represented a shift in our business and therefore, the related assets and liabilities associated with commercial operations are classified as discontinued operations on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the results of operations have been presented as discontinued operations within our condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. See Note 2 – Discontinued Operations to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.

We also have license agreements with strategic partners to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA outside of the U.S.

In connection with our transformation into a pharmaceutical royalty company, the termination of our executive management team (except for Mr. Marlan Walker, our former General Counsel and current Chief Executive Officer) and all other employees was completed by December 31, 2022. Severance obligations for all employees other than executive officers were paid in full in the first quarter of 2023 and severance obligations for terminated executive officers have been paid in accordance with their employment agreements and separation agreements as previously disclosed. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, we employed one full-time employee primarily engaged in an executive position. We have engaged external consultants, including certain former members of our management team, who support our relationship with current partners and assist with certain financial, legal and regulatory matters and the continued wind-down of our historical business operations.

Going concern

Following the transaction with Mayne Pharma, our primary source of revenue is from royalties on products licensed to pharmaceutical organizations that possess commercial capabilities in the relevant territories. We may need to raise additional capital to provide additional liquidity to fund our operations until we become cash flow positive. To address our capital needs, we may pursue various equity and debt financing and other alternatives. The equity financing alternatives may include the private placement of equity, equity-linked, or other similar instruments or obligations with one or more investors, lenders, or other institutional counterparties or an underwritten public equity or equity-linked securities offering. Our ability to sell equity securities may be limited by market conditions, including the market price of our common stock, and our available authorized shares.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of such securities, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. If we are not successful in obtaining additional financing, we could be forced to discontinue or curtail our business operations, sell assets at unfavorable prices, or merge, consolidate, or combine with a company with greater financial resources in a transaction that might be unfavorable to us.

On May 1, 2023, we entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Rubric Capital Management LP (“Rubric”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Rubric, or one or more of its affiliates, up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (our “Common Stock”), from time to time during the term of the Subscription Agreement in separate draw-downs at our election. On June 29, 2023, we issued and sold 312,525 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $3.6797 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. We received gross proceeds of $1.15 million from the draw down, before expenses. On November 15, 2023, Rubric drew down an additional 877,192 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $2.2761. We received gross proceeds of $2.0 million from the drawdown, before expenses.

Mayne Pharma paid us approximately $12.1 million at closing on December 30, 2022, for the acquisition of net working capital, subject to certain adjustments as determined in accordance with the Transaction Agreement. While the Transaction Agreement calls for much of the net working capital to be trued-up shortly after the Closing Date in 2023, for a period of one year following the Closing Date in the case of payer rebates and wholesale distributor fees and two years following the Closing Date in the case for allowance for returns, net working capital amounts will be adjusted to arrive at final net working capital under the Transaction Agreement.

In September 2023, we revised certain accrual estimates including increasing our working capital adjustment accrual from $3.5 million to $5.5 million for amounts anticipated to be owed under the Transaction Agreement. In December 2023, we made a $5.5 million payment to Mayne Pharma to settle certain working capital amounts that were required to be trued-up shortly after the Closing Date, excluding the allowance for returns, allowance for payer rebates, and allowance for wholesale distributor fees.

The Company’s estimate of the allowance for payer rebates and wholesale distributor fees was determined in accordance with the Transaction Agreement which establishes the process for the determination of net working capital. In February 2024, the Company received Mayne Pharma’s calculation of allowance for payer rebates and wholesale distributor fees which differed significantly from the Company’s estimate of the allowances. The Company and Mayne Pharma intend to resolve this matter through the dispute resolution process outlined in the Transaction Agreement.

The Company believes its estimated allowances for payer rebates and wholesale distributor fees are reasonable. The timing and outcome of this matter is uncertain at this point. As a result, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, and accordingly, the Company has not accrued any additional liability associated with Mayne Pharma’s allowance calculation for payer rebates and wholesale distributor fees.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company believes no additional accrual is required for amounts that may be owed for the allowance for returns under the Transaction Agreement. The Company has not recorded any contingent gains or receivables for any such allowances. Management continues to monitor the unresolved and pending net working capital items as changes to estimated amounts owed or amounts due from Mayne Pharma may be material.

If Mayne Pharma’s sales of Licensed Products grow more slowly than expected or decline, if the net working capital settlement with Mayne Pharma under the Transaction Agreement is greater than our current estimates, if we are unsuccessful with future financings or the supply chains related to the third-party contract manufacturers are worse than we anticipate, our existing cash reserves may be insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. The potential impact of these factors in conjunction with the uncertainty of the capital markets raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Portfolio of our royalty-bearing products

In December 2022, we changed our business to become a pharmaceutical royalty company, currently receiving royalties on products licensed to pharmaceutical organizations that possess commercial capabilities in the relevant territories. On December 30, 2022, we granted an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and prescription prenatal vitamin products sold under the BocaGreenMD and vitaMedMD brands and assigning our exclusive license to commercialize ANNOVERA to Mayne Pharma.

IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts), 4-µg and 10-µg 

This pharmaceutical product is for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia (vaginal pain associated with sexual activity), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy due to menopause.

On December 30, 2022, we granted an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY in the United States and its possessions and territories to Mayne Pharma. We also have entered into licensing agreements with third parties to market and sell IMVEXXY outside of the U.S. We entered into the Knight License Agreement, with Knight pursuant to which, we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY in Canada and Israel. We entered into the Theramex License Agreement with Theramex HQ UK Limited (“Theramex”) pursuant to which we granted Theramex an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY for human use outside of the U.S., except for Canada and Israel. As of June 30, 2024, no IMVEXXY sales had been made through the Theramex licensing agreement.

BIJUVA (estradiol and progesterone) capsules, 1 mg/100 mg

This pharmaceutical product is the first and only FDA approved bioidentical hormone therapy combination of estradiol and progesterone in a single, oral capsule for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms (commonly known as hot flashes or flushes) due to menopause in women with a uterus.

On December 30, 2022, we granted an exclusive license to commercialize BIJUVA in the United States and its possessions and territories to Mayne Pharma. We also have entered into the Knight License Agreement with Knight pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. We have entered into the Theramex License Agreement with Theramex pursuant to which we granted Theramex an exclusive license to commercialize BIJUVA for human use outside of the U.S., except for Canada and Israel.

ANNOVERA (segesterone acetate (“SA”) and ethinyl estradiol (“EE”) vaginal system)

On December 30, 2022, we assigned our exclusive license to commercialize ANNOVERA to Mayne Pharma. This pharmaceutical product is a one-year ring-shaped contraceptive vaginal system (“CVS”) and the first and only patient-controlled, procedure-free, reversible prescription contraceptive that can prevent pregnancy for up to a total of 13 cycles (one year). ANNOVERA is commercially sold in the U.S. pursuant to the terms of the Population Council License Agreement.

Prenatal vitamin products

On December 30, 2022, we granted an exclusive license to commercialize, in the United States and its possessions and territories, our prescription prenatal vitamin product lines under our vitaMedMD brand name and authorized generic formulations of some of our prescription prenatal vitamin products under our BocaGreenMD Prenatal name to Mayne Pharma.

Results of operations

As part of the transformation that included the Mayne License Agreement, historical results of commercial operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to the Closing Date. Assets and liabilities associated with the commercial business are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additional disclosures regarding discontinued operations are provided in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

The discussion below, and the revenues and expenses discussed below, are based on, and relate to, our continuing operations.

Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared with three months ended June 30, 2023

The following table sets forth the results of our operations (in thousands):

Revenue. As part of our transformation and the Mayne License Agreement, historical results of commercial operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

We recorded $234 thousand in license revenue for the second quarter of 2024, primarily from the Mayne License Agreement, a decrease of $203 thousand, or 46.5%, compared to $437 thousand in license revenue for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to changes in sales of licensed products.

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2024 were $2,674 thousand, a decrease of $235 thousand, or 8.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was due to the further optimization of our business through the reduction of costs following our transition to a royalty-based business, and is partially off-set by the patent impairment recognized in the second quarter of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,233 thousand for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1,548 thousand, or 55.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. This decrease was due to the increased efficiencies realized following our transition to a royalty-based business.

Depreciation & amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $180 thousand for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $52 thousand, or 40.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. In the 2024 period, this balance is entirely comprised of amortization of license rights and intangible assets.

Loss from operations. In the second quarter of 2024, we had a loss from operations of $2,440 thousand, as compared to a loss from operations of $2,472 thousand for the second quarter of 2023. This change reflects the streamlining of our business and increased efficiencies realized as a royalty-based business.

Other income (expense), net. During the second quarter of 2024, we had other income of $1,390 thousand compared to other income of $58 thousand in the second quarter of 2023. The difference is mainly due to a $1,250 thousand one-time consideration the Company received from its sublessee on its early termination on the sublease, which was recognized in the second quarter of 2024. Royalties reported as other income for intellectual property licensed by us totaled approximately $108 thousand in the second quarter of 2024.

Provision for income taxes. During the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, we recorded no provision for income taxes for continuing operations.

Net loss from continuing operations. For the second quarter of 2024, we had a net loss of $1,050 thousand, or $0.09 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $2,414 thousand, or $0.24 per basic and diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023. 

Discontinued Operations – Net loss from discontinued operations was $40 thousand for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $0 thousand for the second quarter of 2023.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared with six months ended June 30, 2023

The following table sets forth the results of our operations (in thousands):

Revenue. As part of our transformation and the Mayne License Agreement, historical results of commercial operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

We recorded $547 thousand in license revenue for the first six months of 2024, primarily from the Mayne License Agreement, a decrease of $306 thousand, or 35.9%, compared to $853 thousand in license revenue for the first six months of 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to changes in sales of licensed products.

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the first six months of 2024 were $4,129 thousand, a decrease of $1,863 thousand, or 31.1%, compared to the first six months of 2023. This decrease was due to the further optimization of our business through the reduction of costs following our transition to a royalty-based business , and is partially off-set by the patent impairment recognized in the second quarter of 2024.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,555 thousand for the first six months of 2024, a decrease of $3,282 thousand, or 56.2%, compared to the first six months of 2023. This decrease was due to the increased efficiencies realized following our transition to a royalty-based business.

Depreciation & amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $313 thousand for the first six months of 2024, an increase of $158 thousand, or 101.9%, compared to the first six months of 2023. In the 2024 period, this balance is entirely comprised of amortization of license rights and intangible assets.

Loss from operations. In the first six months of 2024, we had a loss from operations of $3,582 thousand, as compared to a loss from operations of $5,139 thousand for the first six months of 2023. This change reflects the streamlining of our business and increased efficiencies realized as a royalty-based business.

Other income, net. During the first six months of 2024, we had other income of $1,723 thousand compared to other income of $415 thousand in the first six months of 2023. The difference is mainly due to a $1,250 thousand one-time consideration the Company received from its sublessee on its early termination on the sublease, which was recognized in the second quarter of 2024. Royalties reported as other income for intellectual property licensed by us totaled approximately $404 thousand in the first six months of 2024.

Provision for income taxes. During the first six months of 2024 and 2023, we recorded no provision for income taxes for continuing operations.

Net loss from continuing operations. For the first six months of 2024, we had a net loss of $1,859 thousand, or $0.16 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $4,724 thousand, or $0.47 per basic and diluted common share, for the first six months of 2023. 

Discontinued Operations - Net income from discontinued operations was $35 thousand for the first six months of 2024, compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of $1,293 thousand for the first six months of 2023. This change reflects the continued wind-down of our legacy business.

For additional information, see Note 2 - Discontinued Operations, in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our primary use of cash is to fund our continued operations. We have funded our operations primarily through public offerings of our common stock and private placements of equity and debt securities, the divestiture of our former subsidiary vitaCare, and the transactions with Mayne Pharma. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $5,232 thousand. We maintain cash at financial institutions that at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250 thousand per bank. We have never experienced any losses related to these funds.

Mayne Pharma License Agreement

On December 30, 2022, we granted Mayne Pharma (i) an exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to research, develop, register, manufacture, have manufactured, market, sell, use, and commercialize the Licensed Products in the United States and its possessions and territories and (ii) an exclusive, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to manufacture, have manufactured, import and have imported the Licensed Products outside the United States for commercialization in the United States and its possessions and territories. The total consideration from Mayne Pharma to us under the Mayne License Agreement consisted of (i) a cash payment of $140.0 million at closing, (ii) a cash payment of approximately $12.1 million at closing for the acquisition of net working capital as determined in accordance with the transaction agreement dated December 4, 2022, and subject to certain adjustments, (iii) a cash payment of approximately $1.0 million at closing for prepaid royalties in connection with the Mayne License Agreement Amendment and (iv) the right to receive the contingent consideration set forth in the Mayne License Agreement, as amended.

Pursuant to the Mayne License Agreement, Mayne Pharma will pay us one-time, milestone payments of each of (i) $5.0 million if aggregate net sales of all Products in the United States during a calendar year reach $100.0 million, (ii) $10.0 million if aggregate net sales of all Products in the United States during a calendar year reach $200.0 million and (iii) $15.0 million if aggregate net sales of all Products in the United States during a calendar year reach $300.0 million. Further, Mayne Pharma will pay us royalties on net sales of all Products in the United States at a royalty rate of 8.0% on the first $80 million in annual net sales and 7.5% on annual net sales above $80.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, for a period of 20 years following the Closing Date. The royalty rate will decrease to 2.0% on a Product-by-Product basis upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration or revocation of the last patent covering a Product and (ii) a generic version of a Product launching in the United States. Mayne Pharma will pay us minimal annual royalties of $3.0 million per year for 12 years, adjusted for inflation at an annual rate of 3%, subject to certain further adjustments, including as described below. Upon the expiry of the 20-year royalty term, the licenses granted to Mayne Pharma under the Mayne License Agreement will become a fully paid-up and royalty free license for the Licensed Products.

Subscription Agreement with Rubric Capital Management LP

On May 1, 2023, we entered into the Subscription Agreement with Rubric, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Rubric, or one or more of its affiliates, up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, from time to time during the term of the Subscription Agreement in separate drawdowns at our election, at a purchase price of the five-day volume-weighted average price of our common stock at the time of the sale of such shares, at an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000 (collectively, the “Private Placement”).

The initial draw down occurred on June 29, 2023 consisting of a sale of 312,525 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $3.6797. We received gross proceeds of $1.15 million from the drawdown, before expenses. On November 15, 2023 Rubric drew down an additional 877,192 shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $2.2761. We received gross proceeds of $2.0 million from the drawdown, before expenses.

See “Going Concern” above for further discussion related to our ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet our liquidity needs and our plans for to satisfy our such needs in the short-term and in the long-term. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

Cash flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for each of the periods (in thousands).

Operating Activities from continuing operations. For the first six months of 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,224 thousand, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $12,093 thousand for the first six months of 2023. This change of $13,317 thousand or 110.1%, was primarily due to a $2,865 thousand decrease in our net loss from continuing operations following our transition from a manufacturing and commercialization business to a royalty-based business combined with the pay-down of current liabilities in the prior-year period.

Financing Activities from continuing operations. For the first six months of 2024, there was no cash received from financing activities, compared to net cash received from financing activities of $1,150 thousand for the first six months of 2023, reflecting the sale of common stock during the first six months of 2023.

Net cash used in discontinued operations. Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2024 was $319 thousand as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $24,645 thousand for the first six months of 2023. This change relates primarily to a decrease in expenses incurred and the payment of current liabilities associated with our transition from a manufacturing and commercialization business to a royalty-based business.

For additional details, see the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 1, Financial Statements, appearing elsewhere in this 10-Q Report.

Contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and purchase commitments and employment agreements

Our contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements are set forth below. For additional information on any of the following and other obligations and arrangements, see “Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this 10-Q Report.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions, which, in our judgment, are normal and customary for companies in our industry sector. Pursuant to these agreements, we agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse indemnified parties for losses suffered or omitted by us. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is sometimes unlimited. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. As a result, the estimated fair value of liabilities relating to these provisions is minimal. Accordingly, we had no liabilities recorded for these provisions as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

In the normal course of business, we may be confronted with issues or events that may result in contingent liability. These generally relate to lawsuits, claims, environmental actions, or the actions of various regulatory agencies. We consult with counsel and other appropriate experts to assess the claim. If, in our opinion, we have incurred a probable loss as set forth by U.S. GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss and the appropriate accounting entries are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q Report, which has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations related to interim financial reporting. We make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting policies and estimates used are disclosed in Item 7 – Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations – Critical accounting policies and estimates in our 2023 10-K Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and pursuant to Instruction 6 to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide this information.

Item 4. Controls and procedures

Management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. Further, internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions, or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

In connection with our transformation into a pharmaceutical royalty company, we terminated our executive management team and all other employees, except for our former General Counsel and current Chief Executive Officer. As of June 30, 2024, we employed one full-time employee primarily engaged in an executive position. We have engaged external consultants who support our relationship with current partners and assist with certain financial, legal and regulatory matters and the continued wind-down of our historical commercial business operations. As a result of these changes, we have updated our risk assessment and design of internal controls over financial reporting that align with reduced transaction volume and reliance on external consultants to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Company is and will continue to evaluate changes to processes, information technology systems and other components of internal controls over financial reporting as part of its ongoing business transformation activities, and as a result, controls may be periodically changed. The Company believes, however, that it will be able to maintain sufficient controls over its financial reporting throughout this transformation process.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we deployed a new ERP system which is anticipated to enhance our operating and financial processes over time. Processes and internal controls have been updated and are consistent with our internal control framework, and we have evaluated the operating effectiveness of related key controls. Control processes continue to be evaluated to give appropriate consideration of modifications needed to maintain the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 10-K Report under the heading “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
