On April 12, 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rumpus VEDS, LLC, Rumpus Therapeutics, LLC, Rumpus Vascular, Christopher Brooke and Nathaniel Massari pursuant to which the Company acquired certain rights and other assets, including key commercial global licenses, relating primarily to the pediatric-onset rare disease development asset enzastaurin (now referred to as AR101), which is a pivotal study-ready therapeutic being studied for the treatment of vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (“vEDS”). This asset was acquired for an up-front fee of $1.5 million in cash and payment of aggregated fees of $0.6 million. Upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $67.5 million in earn-out payments, which are payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, generally at the Company’s option. AR101 (enzastaurin) is an orally available investigational first-in-class small molecule, serine/threonine kinase inhibitor of the PKC beta, PI3K and AKT pathways.

On March 31, 2021, the Company and Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus”) entered into a termination and transition agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate the License and Supply Agreement previously entered into on July 29, 2019 related to Natesto®. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company ceased all sales, marketing and promotion of Natesto, and Acerus agreed to pay the Company an aggregate amount of $7.5 million, payable in equal monthly installment payments of $250,000 for a period of 30 consecutive months.

On March 19, 2021, the Company acquired Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Neos”), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company developing and manufacturing central nervous system-focused products (the “Neos Merger”). Neos commercializes Adzenys XR-ODT, Cotempla XR-ODT and Adzenys-ER in the United States using Neos’ internal commercial organization. These commercial products are extended-release (“XR”) medications in patient-friendly, orally disintegrating tablet (“ODT”) or oral suspension dosage forms that utilize Neos' microparticle modified-release drug delivery technology platform. Neos received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for these three products. In addition, Neos manufactures and sells a generic Tussionex.

On December 8, 2020, the Company effected a reverse stock split in which each common stockholder received one share of common stock for every 10 shares held (herein referred to collectively as the “Reverse Stock Split”). All share and per share amounts in this report have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Company incurred $4.9 million and $0.7 million merger and acquisitions related restructuring costs during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, all of which was paid during the year ended June 30, 2021. These costs are primarily related to severance payments to employees affected by the change in business structure.

The Company’s strategy is to continue building its portfolio of revenue-generating products, leveraging its commercial team’s expertise to build leading brands within large therapeutic markets, while also developing a de-risked, late-stage pipeline focused on pediatric-onset conditions and difficult-to-treat diseases.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $49.9 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company’s operations have historically consumed cash and are expected to continue to consume cash. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $58.3 million and $13.6 million during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $178.3 million and $120.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash used in operations was approximately $26.0 million and $28.4 million during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Management plans to focus on raising additional capital in order to meet its obligations and execute its business plan or otherwise reduce its expenses or renegotiate its debt facilities. Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital or obtain new financing on commercially acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its operations or delay the execution of its business plan.

As of the date of this Report, the Company expects its costs for operations to increase as the Company integrates the Neos acquisition, invests in new product development, continues to focus on revenue growth through increasing product sales and additional acquisitions. The Company’s current assets totaling approximately $105.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and the proceeds expected from ongoing product sales will be used to fund existing operations. The Company may continue to access the capital markets from time-to-time when market conditions are favorable. The timing and amount of capital that may be raised is dependent on 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. Upon closing of the Neos merger, on March 19, 2021, the Company paid down $15.4 million of Neos' senior secured long-term debt, including accrued interest and $5.5 million of merger costs incurred by Neos.

Since the Company has sufficient cash on-hand as of June 30, 2021 to cover potential net cash outflows for the twelve months following the filing date of this Annual Report, the Company reports that there exists no 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's management can adjust its operating plans to reduce the magnitude of the Company's 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 or delays 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.
