Nature of Business and Financial Condition

 

Nature of Business. Aytu BioScience, Inc. (“Aytu”, or the “Company”, which, unless otherwise indicated, refers to Aytu, Inc. and its subsidiaries) was incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on August 9, 2002 in the State of Colorado. Aytu was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2015. Aytu is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization of novel products addressing significant medical needs such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), cough and upper respiratory symptoms, insomnia, and male infertility and plans to expand opportunistically into other therapeutic areas.

 

The Company is currently focused on commercialization of four products, (i) Natesto®, a testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, (ii) Tuzistra® XR, a codeine–based antitussive, (iii) ZolpiMistTM, a short-term insomnia treatment and (iv), MiOXSYS®, a novel in vitro diagnostic system for male infertility assessment. In the future the Company will look to acquire additional commercial-stage or near-market products, including existing products we believe can offer distinct commercial advantages. The management team’s prior experience has involved identifying both clinical-stage and commercial-stage assets that can be launched or re-launched to increase value, with a focused commercial infrastructure specializing in novel, niche products.

 

Financial Condition. The Company’s operations have historically consumed cash and are expected to continue to require cash, but at a declining rate. Revenues have increased 100% and 14% for each of the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is expected to continue to increase, allowing the Company to rely less on its existing cash and cash equivalents, and proceeds from financing transactions. Despite increased revenue, cash used in operations during fiscal year 2019 was $13.8 million compared to $16.0 million in 2018, due to the Company completing the build-out of the Company’s commercial infrastructure in 2019.

 

As of the date of this Report, the Company expects its commercial costs to remain approximately flat or to increase modestly as the Company continues to focus on revenue growth. The Company’s current asset position of $34.8 million plus the proceeds expected from ongoing product sales will be used to fund operations. The Company will access the capital markets to fund operations if and when needed, and to the extent it becomes probable that existing cash and cash equivalents, and other current assets may become exhausted. The timing and amount of capital that may be raised is dependent on market conditions and the terms and conditions upon which investors would require to provide such capital. There is no guarantee that capital will be available on terms that the Company considers to be favorable to the Company and its stockholders, or at all. However, the Company has been successful in accessing the capital markets in the past and is confident in its ability to access the capital markets again, if needed. Since the Company does not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on-hand as of June 30, 2019, to cover potential net cash outflows for the twelve months following the filing date of this Annual Report, ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) requires the Company to report that there exists an indication of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

If the Company is unable to raise adequate capital in the future when it is required, the Company can adjust its operating plans to reduce the magnitude of the capital need under its existing operating plan. Some of the adjustments that could be made include delays of and reductions to product support programs, reductions in headcount, narrowing the scope of one or more of the Company’s commercialization programs, or reductions to its research and development programs. Without sufficient operating capital, the Company could be required to relinquish rights to product candidates on less favorable terms than it would otherwise choose. This may lead to impairment or other charges, which could materially affect the Company’s balance sheet and operating results.

 

The Company has incurred accumulated net losses since inception, and at June 30, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $106.4 million. Our net loss increased to $27.1 million from $10.2 million for fiscal 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company used $13.8 million and $16.0 million in cash from operations during fiscal 2019 and 2018.

 

Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 20, 2017. On August 13, 2018, we effected a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock by a ratio of one-for-twenty (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Unless otherwise indicated, all share amounts, per share data, share prices, exercise prices and conversion rates set forth herein have, where applicable, been adjusted retroactively to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
