Nature of Business, Financial Condition, Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business. Aytu BioScience, Inc. (“Aytu”, the “Company” or “we”) 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, male infertility, various pediatric conditions and the Company’s plans to expand opportunistically into other therapeutic areas.

 

 The Company is a commercial-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant healthcare needs in both prescription and consumer health categories. Through the Company’s heritage prescription business, the Company currently markets a portfolio of prescription products addressing large primary care and pediatric markets. The primary care portfolio includes (i) Natesto®, the only FDA-approved nasal formulation of testosterone for men with hypogonadism (low testosterone, or "Low T"), (ii) ZolpiMist™, the only FDA-approved oral spray prescription sleep aid, and (iii) Tuzistra® XR, the only FDA-approved 12-hour codeine-based antitussive syrup.

 

The Company’s recently acquired prescription pediatric portfolio includes (i) AcipHex® Sprinkle™, a granule formulation of rabeprazole sodium, a commonly prescribed proton pump inhibitor; (ii) Cefaclor, a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic suspension; (iii) Karbinal® ER, an extended-release carbinoxamine (antihistamine) suspension indicated to treat numerous allergic conditions; and (iv) Poly-Vi-Flor® and Tri-Vi-Flor®, two complementary prescription fluoride-based supplement product lines containing combinations of fluoride and vitamins in various for infants and children with fluoride deficiency.

 

On February 14, 2020, the Company acquired Innovus Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Innovus”), a specialty pharmaceutical company commercializing, licensing and developing safe and effective consumer healthcare products designed to improve health and vitality. Innovus commercializes over thirty-five consumer health products competing in large healthcare categories including diabetes, men's health, sexual wellness and respiratory health (the “Consumer Health Portfolio”). The Consumer Health Portfolio is commercialized through direct-to-consumer marketing channels utilizing Innovus’s proprietary Beyond Human® marketing and sales platform.

 

The Company recently acquired exclusive U.S. distribution rights to two COVID-19 IgG/IgM rapid tests. These coronavirus tests are solid phase immunochromatographic assays used in the rapid, qualitative and differential detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in human whole blood, serum or plasma. These rapid tests have been validated in multi-center clinical trials. Most recently, the Company signed a licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for worldwide rights to various potential uses of Healight, an investigational medical device platform technology. Healight has demonstrated safety and efficacy in pre-clinical studies, and the Company plans to advance this technology and assess its safety and efficacy in human studies.

 

The Company’s strategy is to continue building its portfolio of revenue-generating products, leveraging its focused commercial team and expertise to build leading brands within large therapeutic markets. 

 

Financial Condition. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $62.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company’s operations have historically consumed cash and are expected to continue to require cash, but at a declining rate.

 

Revenues for the three-months ended March 31, 2020 increased approximately 243% compared to the three-months ended March 31, 2019, and revenues increased 100% and 14% for each of the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenue is expected to continue to increase long-term, allowing the Company to rely less on our existing cash and cash equivalents, and proceeds from financing transactions. Cash used in operations during the nine-months ended March 31, 2020 was $20.6 million compared to $10.4 million for the nine-months ended March 31, 2019. The increase is due primarily to the Company’s acquisition and integration of the Pediatric Portfolio and merger with Innovus, which consumed additional cash resources, coupled with an increase in working capital.

 

On November 1, 2019, the Company closed an asset acquisition with Cerecor, Inc. (“Cerecor”) whereby the Company acquired certain of Cerecor’s portfolio of pediatric therapeutics (the “Pediatric Portfolio”) for $4.5 million in cash, approximately 9.8 million shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, the assumption of Cerecor’s financial and royalty obligations, which includes not more than $3.5 million of Medicaid rebates and products returns as they come due, and other assumed liabilities associated with the Pediatric Portfolio (see Note 2). As of March 31, 2020, the Company has paid down approximately $3.2 million of those assumed liabilities.

 

In addition, the Company assumed obligations in connection with the Pediatric Portfolio acquisition due to an investor including fixed and variable payments. The Company assumed fixed monthly payments equal to $0.1 million from November 2019 through January 2021 plus $15 million due in January 2021. Monthly variable payments due to the same investor are equal to 15% of net revenue generated from a subset of the Product Portfolio, subject to an aggregate monthly minimum of $0.1 million, except for January 2020, when a one-time payment of $0.2 million was paid. The variable payment obligation continues until the earlier of: (i) aggregate variable payments of approximately $9.5 million have been made, or (ii) February 12, 2026.

 

On February 14, 2020 the Company completed a merger with Innovus after approval by the stockholders of both companies on February 13, 2020 (the “Merger”). Upon closing the Merger, the Company merged with and into Innovus and all outstanding Innovus common stock was exchanged for approximately 3.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock and up to $16 million of Contingent Value Rights (“CVRs”). The outstanding Innovus warrants with cash out rights were exchanged for approximately 2.0 million shares of Series H Convertible Preferred stock of Aytu and retired. The remaining Innovus warrants outstanding at the time of the Merger continue to be outstanding, and upon exercise, retain the right to the merger consideration offered to Innovus stockholders, including any remaining claims represented by CVRs at the time of exercise. Innovus will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In addition, as part of the Merger, the Company assumed approximately $3.1 million of notes payable, $0.8 million in lease liabilities, and other assumed liabilities associated with Innovus. Of the $3.1 million of notes payable, approximately $1.8 million was converted into approximately 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock on April 27, 2020.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company completed three separate equity offerings, on March 10, 2020, March 12, 2020 and March 19, 2020 (the “March Offerings”), in which the Company issued a combination of common stock and warrants. The following summarizes the March Offerings, including total capital raised from both the issuance of common stock and subsequent warrant exercises.

 

On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 12,539,197 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price per share of $1.595 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 12,539,197 shares of Common Stock (the “March 19, 2020 Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.47 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $20.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The March 19, 2020 Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of one year from the issuance date. In addition, the Company issued warrants with an exercise price of $1.9938 per share to purchase up to 815,047 shares of common stock (the “March 19, 2020 Placement Agent Warrants”) as a portion of the fees paid to the placement agent. The March 19, 2020 Placement Agent Warrants have a term of five year from the issuance date.

 

A total of 1.2 million March 19, 2020 Warrants have been exercised through May 5, 2020, for total proceeds of $1.7 million, of which 0.7 million March 19, 2020 Warrants were exercised through March 31, 2020, for total proceeds of $1.1 million.

 

On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price per share of $1.25 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “March 12, 2020 Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $20.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “Registered Offering”). The March 12, 2020 Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of one year from the issuance date. In addition, the Company issued warrants with an exercise price of $1.5625 per share to purchase up to 1,040,000 shares of common stock (the “March 12, 2020 Placement Agent Warrants”) as a portion of the fees paid to the placement agent. The March 12, 2020 Placement Agent Warrants have a term of five year from the issuance date.

 

A total of 13 million March 12, 2020 Warrants have been exercised through May 5, 2020, for total proceeds of approximately $16.3 million, of which approximately 10.5 million March 12, 2020 Warrants were exercised through March 31, 2020, for total proceeds of $13.1 million.

 

On March 10, 2020, Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 4,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price per share of $1.15 and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,376,087 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at an effective price of $1.15 per share ($1.1499 paid to the Company upon the closing of the offering and $0.0001 to be paid upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $9.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company (the “Registered Offering”). The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercised upon close. In addition, the Company issued warrants with an exercise price of $1.4375 per share to purchase up to 508,696 shares of common stock (the “March 10, 2020 Placement Agent Warrants”). The March 10, 2020 Placement Agent Warrants have a term of five year from the issuance date.

 

Since March 10, 2020, a total of 6.0 million shares of the Company’s October 2018 $1.50 Warrants (the “October 18 $1.50 Warrants”) were exercised, resulting in proceeds of approximately $9.0 million.

 

In total, the Company has raised net proceeds of approximately $71.5 million from the March Offerings and related warrant exercises, as well as exercises of the October 2018 $1.50 Warrants. The net proceeds received by the Company from the March Offerings and related warrant exercise will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

 

On October 11, 2019, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two institutional investors (the “Investors”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company (the “October 2019 Offering”) of $10.0 million of, (i) 10,000 shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) which are convertible into 10,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) for a stated value of $1,000 per unit and (ii) 10,000,000 warrants (the “October 2019 Warrants”) which are exercisable for shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”), which expire January 10, 2025,. The closing of the October 2019 offering occurred on October 16, 2019. The Warrants had an exercise price equal to $1.25 and contain a cashless exercise provision. This provision was dependent on (i) performance of the Company’s stock price between October 11, 2019 and the date of exercise of all, or a portion of the Warrants, and (ii) subject to shareholder approval of the October 2019 Offering, which was approved January 24, 2020.

 

As of March 31, 2020, all of the Series F Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock, and 5.0 million of the October 2019 Warrants were exercised using the cashless exercise provision to acquire 5.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In April of 2020, the remaining 5 million October 2019 Warrants were exercised using the cashless exercise provision into 5.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The net proceeds that the Company received from the October 2019 Offering were approximately $9.3 million.  The net proceeds received by the Company from the October 2019 Offerings have been used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. 

  

As of the date of this Report, the Company expects its commercial costs for its current operation to increase modestly as the Company integrates the acquisition of the Pediatrics Portfolio and Innovus and continues to focus on revenue growth through increasing product sales. The Company’s total asset position totaling approximately $168.5 million plus the proceeds expected from ongoing product sales will be used to fund operations. The Company may continue to access the capital markets to fund operations when needed, and to the extent it is required. 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 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 has sufficient cash and cash equivalents on-hand as of March 31, 2020 to cover potential net cash outflows for the twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report, ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) the Company reports that there does not exist indication of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As of the date of this report, while the Company has adequate capital resources to complete its near-term operating and transaction objectives, there is no guarantee that such capital resources will be sufficient until such time the Company reaches profitability. However, the Company has been successful in accessing the capital markets in the past, and the Company is confident in its ability to access the capital markets again, if needed.

 

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 commercial programs, reductions in headcount, narrowing the scope of the Company’s commercial plans, or reductions to its research and development programs. Without sufficient operating capital, the Company could be required to relinquish rights to products or renegotiate to maintain such rights 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.

  

Nasdaq Listing Compliance. The Company’s common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”). In order to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, the Company must, amongst other requirements, maintain a stockholders’ equity balance of at least $2.5 million pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). In that regard, on September 30, 2019, the Company’s stockholders’ equity totaled approximately $2.3 million, thereby potentially resulting in a stockholders’ equity deficiency upon the filing of the September 30, 2019 Form 10-Q. However, subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company completed (i) the Offering with the Investors, raising approximately $9.3 million, net in equity financing (see Note 1), and (ii) the “Asset Purchase Agreement” in which the Company issued approximately 9.8 million shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock worth approximately $5.6 million, resulting in an increase in stockholders’ equity of approximately $14.8 million in the aggregate. Accordingly, as of the filing of this Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company’s stockholders’ equity balance exceeds the minimum $2.5 million threshold and, therefore, the Company believes it is currently in compliance with all applicable Nasdaq Listing Requirements.

 

On March 24, 2020, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Nasdaq has determined that the Company’s stock price has traded above at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days since the previously announced February 19, 2020 notice, and therefore, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), commonly referred to as the Bid Price Rule.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02 – Topic 842 Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that most leases be recognized on the financial statements, specifically the recognition of right-to-use assets and related lease liabilities, and enhanced disclosures about leasing arrangements. The objective is to provide improved transparency and comparability among organizations. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard requires using the modified retrospective transition method and apply ASU 2016-02 either at (i) latter of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements or commencement date of the lease, or (ii) the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has elected to apply the standard at the beginning period of adoption, July 1, 2019 which resulted in no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

 

The Company has elected to apply the short-term scope exception for leases with terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease and will continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis. As a result of the adoption, on July 1, 2019, the Company recognized a lease liability of approximately $0.4 million, which represented the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate of 8%. As of July 1, 2019, the Company recognized a right-to-use asset of approximately $0.4 million. Lease expense did not change materially as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

 

In addition, in conjunction with the Innovus Merger, the Company recognized a lease liability of approximately $0.8 million relating to Innovus’ corporate offices and related warehouse as part of the purchase price allocation (see Note 2).

 

Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”). In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11 — Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). Part I to ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain equity-linked financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s own stock. In addition, entities will have to make new disclosures for financial instruments with down round features and other terms that change conversion or exercise prices. Part I to ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company adopted this standard update as a result of the issuance of the Series F Preferred stock as a result of the October 2019 Offering. There were no “down-round” features present in the financial instruments issued in conjunction with the March 2020 Offerings.

 

Recently Accounting Pronouncements

 

Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-03”). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments in the standard apply to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard was effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements, with the impact mostly related to certain assets acquired or liabilities assumed that comprise Level 3 inputs.

 

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to require the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. However, in October 2019, the FASB approved deferral of the adoption date for smaller reporting companies for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal year of adoption will be the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, but the Company did not elect to early adopt. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements, but no conclusion has been reached.   

  

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
