CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our anticipated future clinical and regulatory events, future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are generally written in the future tense and/or are preceded by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “could,” “expect,” “suggest,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” or similar words, or the negatives of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the planned expanded commercialization of our products and the potential future commercialization of our product candidates; our planned product candidate development strategy; our anticipated future cash position; our plan to acquire additional assets; our anticipated future growth rates; anticipated sales increases; anticipated net revenue increases; amounts of certain future expenses and costs of goods sold; anticipated increases to operating expenses, research and development expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses; and future events under our current and potential future collaborations.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including without limitation the risks described in “Risk Factors” in Part II Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10- K, and in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. We can provide no assurance that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements, except as may be required under applicable law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business, Financial Condition, Basis of Presentation

Aytu BioPharma, Inc. (“Aytu”, the “Company” or “we”), is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel therapeutics and consumer healthcare products. The Company currently operates the Aytu BioPharma business, consisting of the Company’s prescription pharmaceutical products (the “Rx Portfolio”), and the Aytu consumer healthcare products business (the “Consumer Health Portfolio”). The core Rx Portfolio commercial products consists primarily of prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD"), allergies and vitamin and fluoride deficiency. The Aytu consumer health business is focused on commercializing consumer healthcare products. The Company was incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on August 9, 2002 in the State of Colorado and was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2015.

The Rx Portfolio consists of (i) Adzenys XR-ODT (amphetamine) extended-release orally disintegrating tablets, Cotempla XR-ODT (methylphenidate) extended-release orally disintegrating tablets and Adzenys ER (amphetamine) extended-release oral suspension for the treatment of ADHD, (ii) Poly-Vi-Flor and Tri-Vi-Flor, two complementary prescription fluoride-based supplement product lines containing combinations of fluoride and vitamins in various formulations for infants and children with fluoride deficiency, (iii) Karbinal ER, an extended-release carbinoxamine (antihistamine) suspension indicated to treat numerous allergic conditions, (iv) ZolpiMist, the only U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved oral spray prescription sleep aid, (v) Tuzistra XR, the only FDA-approved 12-hour codeine-based antitussive syrup and (vi) a generic Tussionex (hydrocodone and chlorpheniramine) (“generic Tussionex”), extended-release oral suspension for the treatment of cough and upper respiratory symptoms of a cold. Adzenys ER was discontinued as of September 30, 2021.

The Consumer Health Portfolio consists of over twenty consumer health products competing in large healthcare categories, including diabetes management, pain management, digestive health, sexual and urological health and general wellness, commercialized through direct-to-consumer marketing channels utilizing the Company's proprietary Beyond Human marketing and sales platform and on e-commerce platforms.

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 late-stage pipeline focused on pediatric-onset conditions and difficult-to-treat diseases.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $35.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s operations have historically consumed cash and are expected to continue to consume cash. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $11.5 million and $9.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $39.4 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $217.7 million and $178.3 million as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Cash used in operations was approximately $12.6 million and $10.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Management plans to focus on executing on its business plan or otherwise reducing its expenses, renegotiating its debt facilities, or raising additional capital in order to meet its obligations. 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, and continues to focus on revenue growth through increasing product sales and making additional acquisitions. The Company’s current assets totaling approximately $87.5 million as of December 31, 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. 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.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash on-hand as of December 31, 2021 to cover potential net cash outflows for at least the twelve months following the filing date of this Quarterly Report.

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, or monetization of certain Company assets. 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.

Basis of Presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report represent the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Aytu Therapeutics, LLC and Neos Therapeutics, Inc. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021, which included all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of expected operating results for the full year. The information presented throughout this report, as of December 31, 2021 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, is unaudited.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, estimates are used for, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, determination of variable consideration for accruals of chargebacks, administrative fees and rebates, government rebates, returns and other allowances, allowance for inventory obsolescence, valuation of financial instruments and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, fair value of long-lived assets, goodwill impairment, income tax provision, deferred taxes and valuation allowance, determination of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, purchase price allocations, and the depreciable lives of long-lived assets. Because of the uncertainties inherent in such estimates, actual results may differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for reasonableness.

Prior Period Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of earnings and statements of cashflows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including a reclassification made in the presentation of FDA fees for commercialized product. This was previously included in general and administrative expenses and now is recorded as a component of cost of sales on the consolidated statements of earnings. These reclassifications did not affect operating earnings or other consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The Company calculates its quarterly income tax provision based on estimated annual effective tax rates applied to ordinary income (or loss) and other known items computed and recognized when they occur. There have been no changes in tax law affecting the tax provision during the six months ended December 31, 2021. The impairment of the Aytu BioPharma segment book goodwill changed the net deferred tax liability of $0.2 million recorded as of June 30, 2021 fiscal year end into a net deferred tax liability of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2021. As a result, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021. There was no income tax expense or benefit during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

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 was 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.

5. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company periodically reviews the composition of its inventories to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise unsaleable items. In the event that such items are identified and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, the Company will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the impairment is first recognized. The Company wrote down $0.1 million of inventory during the three months ended December 31, 2021, and $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There was no inventory write-down during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

7. Leases

The Company has entered into various operating lease agreements for certain of its offices, manufacturing facilities and equipment, and finance lease agreements for certain equipment. These leases have original lease periods expiring between 2022 and 2024. Most leases include one or more options to renew and the exercise of a lease renewal option typically occurs at the discretion of both parties. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms are deemed not to include options to extend the lease until it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Upon the closing of the Neos Merger on March 19, 2021, Neos recognized operating lease ROU asset and lease liability of $3.5 million, which represented the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the acquisition date, for its office space and manufacturing facilities at Grand Prairie, Texas. As the lease agreement does not provide an implicit rate, Neos used its estimated borrowing rate of 6.7% to determine the present value of future lease payments. The finance leases are related to Neos equipment finance leases with fixed contract terms and an implicit interest rate of approximately 5.9%.

In May 2021, the Company entered into a commercial lease agreement for 6,352 square feet of office in Berwyn, Pennsylvania that was to commence on December 1, 2021 and end on January 31, 2025. On July 19, 2021, the Company and the lessor amended the agreement to move the commencement date from December 1, 2021 to September 1, 2021. The Company recorded an operating lease ROU asset and lease liabilities of $0.5 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using Neos’ estimated borrowing rate of 6.25%.

In October 2021, the Company’s Innovus subsidiary entered into a commercial lease agreement for 6,580 square feet of warehouse in Oceanside, California that commenced on December 1, 2021 and ends on December 31, 2026. The Company recorded an operating lease ROU asset and lease liabilities of $0.3 million in the consolidated balance sheet representing the present value of minimum lease payments using Innovus’ estimated borrowing rate of 18.0%.

8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Since the June 30, 2021 annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company’s stock price has continued to decline. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the continued decline was considered a qualitative factor that led Management to reassess as to whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units is greater than its carrying value. Management’s evaluation of the first step indicated that its Aytu BioPharma segment’s goodwill was potentially impaired. The Company then performed a quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the segment and comparing it to its carrying value. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies include, but were not limited to prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. Due to the decline in stock price this was an indicator of increased risk primarily increasing the discount rates in the valuation models. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting segment utilizing the discounted cash flow model. As a result of the continued decline in its stock price, the Company risk adjusted its cost of equity, which increased the over-all discount rate. As of September 30, 2021, utilizing the risk adjusted weighted-average discount rate, the fair value of Aytu BioPharma segment was less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $19.5 million related to the Aytu BioPharma segment. The quantitative test indicated there was no impairment to the Aytu Consumer Health segment as it resulted in an implied fair value of $5.9 million compared with the $0.5 million carrying value. There was no such impairment during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

The Aytu Consumer Health segment, which has $8.6 million goodwill from the March 2020 Innovus merger, reported $1.5 million negative carrying value as of December 31, 2021.

The change in carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment is as follows:

10. Debt

The Neos Revolving Loan. On October 2, 2019, Neos entered into a senior secured credit agreement with Eclipse Business Capital LLC (f/k/a Encina Business Credit, LLC) (“Eclipse”) as agent for the lenders (the “Loan Agreement”). Under the Loan Agreement, Eclipse will extend up to $25.0 million in secured revolving loans to Neos (the “Revolving Loans”), of which up to $2.5 million may be available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The Revolving Loans bear variable interest through maturity at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus 4.50%. In addition, Neos is required to pay an unused line fee of 0.50% of the average unused portion of the maximum revolving facility amount during the immediately preceding month. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date under the Loan Agreement is May 11, 2022.

In the event that, for any reason, all or any portion of the lender’s commitment to make revolving loans is terminated prior to the scheduled maturity date, in addition to the payment of the principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, Neos is required to pay to the lender a prepayment fee equal to 0.5% of the revolving loan commitment if such event occurs prior to May 11, 2022. Neos may permanently terminate the revolving loan facility with at least five business days prior notice.

The Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require Neos to satisfy certain capital expenditure and other financial covenants, and restrict Neos’ ability to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions or make asset sales without the prior written consent of the Lenders. A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the Lenders to declare Neos’ obligations under the Loan Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, plus any applicable additional amounts relating to a prepayment or termination, as described above.

In connection with the closing of the Neos Merger, Neos and Eclipse entered into a Consent, Waiver and First Amendment to the Loan Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Eclipse Consent, Waiver and Amendment”). Pursuant to the Consent, Waiver and First Amendment, Eclipse (i) irrevocably waives the right to impose the default rate of interest solely to the extent resulting from the inclusion of a "going concern" qualification in the audited financial statements of Neos on a consolidated basis for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 (the “Specified Default), (ii) the

Table of Contents

right to impose the Default Rate of interest under Section 3.1 of the Loan Agreement, or to collect interest accruing at such Default Rate that Lenders had a lawful right to collect or apply with respect to any such Specified Default, and (iii) makes certain other modifications to the Eclipse Loan Agreement to reflect the consummation of the Neos Merger and the status of Neos as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aytu, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Consent, Waiver and Amendment.

The interest expense was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 $7.2 million borrowing was outstanding under the Revolving Loan and Neos was in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Agreement as amended.

The Neos Senior Secured Credit Facility. On May 11, 2016, Neos entered into a $60.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. (66 2/3% of Facility) and Deerfield Partners, L.P. (33 1/3% of Facility) (collectively, “Deerfield”). As of March 19, 2021, the date of the Neos Merger, the remaining principal on the Facility was $15.6 million, with $0.6 million due on April 11, 2021 and with a final payment of principal, interest and all other obligations under the Facility due May 11, 2022. In addition, upon the payment in full of the Obligations (whether voluntarily, in the connection with a Change of Control or an Event of Default and whether before, at the time of or after the Maturity Date), the Company shall pay to Deerfield a non-refundable exit fee in the amount of approximately $1.0 million, which shall be due and payable in cash. Interest is due quarterly beginning in June 2021, at a rate of 12.95% per year. Borrowings under the Facility are collateralized by substantially all of Neos’ assets, except assets under finance lease. If all or any of the principal are prepaid or required to be prepaid prior to December 31, 2021, then the Company shall pay, in addition to such prepayment and accrued interest thereon, a prepayment premium equal to 6.25% of the amount of principal prepaid. The terms of the Facility require the Company to maintain cash on deposit of not less than $5.0 million.

In connection with the Neos Merger, Neos and Deerfield entered into a Consent, Waiver and Sixth Amendment to the Facility, dated as of March 19, 2021 (the “Deerfield Consent, Waiver and Amendment”). Pursuant to the Consent, Waiver and Sixth Amendment, Deerfield (i) consented to certain amendments to the Eclipse loan documents, (ii) irrevocably waive the Going Concern Conditions as described in the Deerfield Consent, Waiver and Amendment and their right to impose the default rate of interest as provided for in the Facility as of May 11, 2016, or to collect interest accruing at such default rate of interest, that the Lenders had a lawful right to collect or apply with respect to any such Event of Default for failure to satisfy such Going Concern Condition, (iii) subject the Company and its subsidiaries to certain restrictive covenants including limitations on the incurrence of debt, granting of liens and transfers of assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and (iv) makes certain other modifications to the Facility to reflect the consummation of the Neos Merger and the status of Neos as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Such modifications also include the prepayment of $15.0 million by the Company of the principal of the loan that was otherwise due on May 11, 2021 plus any accrued interest thereon through March 19, 2021, plus a make-whole payment equal to the interest that would otherwise have been due on that $15.0 million for the period beginning March 19, 2021 through May 11, 2021. The Sixth Amendment also eliminated the right of Deerfield to convert outstanding amounts of the loans into conversion shares and the right of Neos to make payments to Deerfield in the form of shares of common stock. The Company is a guarantor under the Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Facility, as amended, the $15.0 million principal prepayment was paid in cash on March 19, 2021, and the carrying amount of the remaining outstanding debt was $16.6 million. As the Neos Merger was accounted for as a business combination, Neos evaluated and determined that the fair value of the remaining outstanding debt was $17.4 million as of March 20, 2021. Accordingly, Neos recorded a premium of $0.8 million, which is the difference between carrying amount and the fair value of the debt and is being amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the debt. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Facility as amended. Total interest expense on the Facility, net of premium amortization, was $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

11. Fair Value Considerations

The Company’s asset and liability classified financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, warrant derivative liability and contingent consideration. The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on Monte-Carlo models. The valuation policies are determined by management, and the Company’s Board of Directors is informed of any policy change.

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1: Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to Aytu for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods presented.

Contingent Consideration. The Company classifies its contingent consideration liability in connection with the acquisition of Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist and Innovus, within Level 3 as factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity.

Tuzistra XR. At the acquisition date on November 2, 2018, the contingent consideration related to Tuzistra XR, was valued at $8.8 million using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the contingent consideration was revalued at $8.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, using the Scenario-Based model. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid $3.0 million in cash upon the satisfaction of the time-based milestone. As of December 31, 2021, none of the remaining milestones had been achieved.

ZolpiMist. At the acquisition date on June 11, 2018, the contingent consideration related to the ZolpiMist royalty payments was valued at $2.6 million using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the contingent consideration was revalued at $0.7 million, using the Monte Carlo model. As of December 31, 2021, none of the milestones had been achieved, and therefore, no milestone payment was made.

Table of Contents

On February 14, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million in product related contingent consideration as a result of the February 14, 2020 Innovus Merger. The fair value was based on a discounted value of the future contingent payment using a 30% discount rate based on the estimated risk that the milestones are achieved. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the contingent consideration was $0.3 million.

In June 2017, Innovus entered into Exclusive License Agreement (“the UIRD Agreement”) with University of Iowa Research Foundation (“UIRD”) for the use of patent and technology know-how. Pursuant to the agreement, Innovus will pay to UIRD a total milestone payment of $50,000 every other year beginning on July 1, 2021 for a total payment of $0.2 million. The fair value was based on a discounted value of the future contingent payment using a 26% discount rate based on the estimated risk that the milestones would be achieved. The discounted value as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, was approximately $48,000 and $0.1 million, respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations from changes in fair values of these contingent considerations. During the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a net loss of $0.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively in the consolidated statements of operations from changes in fair values of these contingent considerations. The total accretion expense included in the consolidated statements of operations related to these contingent considerations was approximately $22,000, and $0.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Contingent value rights. Contingent value rights (“CVRs”) represent contingent additional consideration of up to $16.0 million payable to satisfy future performance milestones related to the Innovus Merger. Consideration can be satisfied in up to 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or cash either upon the option of the Company or in the event there are insufficient shares available to satisfy such obligations. The fair value of the contingent value rights was based on a Monte Carlo model which takes into account current interest rates and expected sales potential. On March 31, 2020, the Company paid the CVR holders approximately 123,820 shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy the first $2.0 million milestone, which relates to the Innovus achievement of $24.0 million in revenues during the 2019 calendar year. On March 20, 2021, the Company paid the CVR holders approximately 103,190 shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy one of two $1.0 million 2020 milestones, which relates to the Innovus achievement of $30.0 million in revenues during the 2020 calendar year. The $1.0 million 2020 milestone for achieving profitability was not met. The $1.0 million 2021 milestones, which relate to the Innovus achievement of $40.0 million in revenues during the 2021 calendar year and $1.0 million for achieving profitability were not met. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the CVRs were revalued at $1.4 million, using the same Monte Carlo model. During the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a loss of $44,000 and $0.1 million, respectively, and a loss of $0.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020 in the consolidated statements of operations from changes in fair values of CVRs. The net gain during the six months ended December 31, 2021 was negligible.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Prescription Database

In May 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to provide prescription database information. The Company agreed to pay approximately $1.6 million over three years for access to the database of prescriptions for certain products. In January 2020, the Company amended the agreement and agreed to pay an additional $0.6 million to add access to the database of prescriptions written for the Pediatric Portfolio. The agreement was further amended to include all prescriptions written for the Rx Portfolio.

Pediatric Portfolio Fixed Payments and Product Milestone

The Company has two fixed, periodic payment obligations to an investor (the “Fixed Obligation”). Under the first fixed obligation, the Company was to pay monthly payment of $86,400 beginning November 1, 2019 through January 2021, with a balloon payment of $15.0 million that was to be due in January 2021 (“Balloon Payment Obligation”). A second fixed obligation requires the Company pay a minimum of $100,000 monthly through February 2026, except for $210,767 paid in January 2020.

Table of Contents

On May 29, 2020, the Company entered into an Early Payment Agreement and Escrow Instruction (the “Early Payment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $15.0 million to the investor in early satisfaction of the Balloon Payment Obligation. The parties to the Early Payment Agreement acknowledged and agreed that the remaining fixed payments other than the Balloon Payment Obligation remained due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and that nothing in the Early Payment Agreement alters, amends, or waives any provisions or obligations in the Waiver or the Investor agreement other than as expressly set forth therein. The first fixed obligation was fully paid as of January 2021.

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Waiver, Release and Consent pursuant to which the Company paid $2.8 million to the investor in early satisfaction of the second fixed obligation. The Company agreed to pay the remaining fixed obligation of $3.0 million in six equal quarterly payments of $0.5 million over the next six quarters commencing September 30, 2021.

In addition, the Company acquired a Supply and Distribution Agreement with Tris (the “Karbinal Agreement”), under which the Company is granted the exclusive right to distribute and sell the product in the United States. The initial term of the Karbinal Agreement was 20 years. The Company will pay Tris a royalty equal to 23.5% of net sales.

The Karbinal Agreement also contains minimum unit sales commitments, which is based on a commercial year that spans from August 1 through July 31, of 70,000 units annually through 2025. The Company is required to pay Tris a royalty make whole payment of $30 for each unit under the 70,000-unit annual minimum sales commitment through 2025. The Karbinal Agreement make-whole payment is capped at $2.1 million each year. The annual payment is due in August of each year. The Karbinal Agreement also has multiple commercial milestone obligations that aggregate up to $3.0 million based on cumulative net sales, the first of which is triggered at $40.0 million of net revenues.

Inventory Purchase Commitment

On May 1, 2020, the Company’s Innovus subsidiary entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (“Hikma”). Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Innovus has agreed to purchase and Hikma has agreed to manufacture a minimum amount of our branded fluticasone propionate nasal spray USP, 50 mcg per spray (FlutiCare®), under Hikma’s FDA approved ANDA No. 207957 in the U.S. The commitment requires Innovus to purchase three batches of product through fiscal year 2022. The Company has completed the purchase of the first two batches and fully paid the amount under the agreement. The remaining $0.7 million for the batch three purchase is expected to be paid in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.

CVR Liability

Upon closing the Innovus Merger, the Company entered into a CVR Agreement. Each CVR entitles its holder to receive its pro rata share, payable in cash or stock, at the option of the Company, of certain payment amounts if the targets are met. If any of the payment amounts are earned, they are to be paid by the end of the first quarter of the calendar year following the year in which they are earned. Multiple revenue milestones can be earned in one year.

On March 20, 2021, the Company issued to the CVR holders 103,190 shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy one of two $1.0 million 2020 milestones, which relates to the Innovus achievement of $30.0 million in revenues during the 2020 calendar year. The $1.0 million 2020 milestone for achieving profitability was not met. The $1.0 million 2021 milestones, which relates to the Innovus achievement of $40.0 million in revenues during the 2021 calendar year and $1.0 million for achieving profitability were not met.

Product Contingent Liability

In February 2015, Innovus acquired Novalere, which included the rights associated with distributing FlutiCare. As part of the Merger, Innovus is obligated to make five additional payments of $0.5 million each when certain levels of FlutiCare sales are achieved. The discounted value as of December 31, 2021, is approximately $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the University of Iowa Research Foundation (the “UIRD”) Agreement, Innovus will pay to UIRD a total milestone payment of $50,000 every other year beginning on July 1, 2021 for a total payment of $0.2 million. The discounted value as of December 31, 2021, is approximately $48,000. The first milestone cash payment of $50,000 was made in July 2021.

Rumpus Earn Out Payments

On April 12, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Rumpus, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain rights and other assets, including key commercial global licenses with Denovo Biopharma LLC (“Denovo”) and Johns Hopkins University (“JHU”), relating to AR101, which is a pivotal study-ready therapeutic being studied for the treatment of 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 to Denovo and JHU. 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 common stock, generally at the Company’s option, are payable to Rumpus. Under the license agreement with Denovo, the Company assumed the responsibility for paying annual maintenance fees of $25,000, a license option fee of $0.6 million payable in April 2022, and upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $101.7 million, and escalating royalties based on net product sales ranging in percentage from the low teens to the high teens. Finally, under the license agreement with JHU, the Company assumed the responsibility for paying minimum annual royalties escalating from $5,000 to $20,000 beginning in calendar year 2022, royalties of 3.0% of net product sales, and upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $1.6 million.

On December 7, 2021, upon receiving Orphan Drug Designation (“ODD”) from the FDA for AR101, a milestone payment of $2.5 million is due and payable to Rumpus in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock.

Outstanding December 31, 2021	1,159,282	$	29.51	2.72

16. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential of securities that could share in the net loss of the Company. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to compute basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position. Restricted stock is considered legally issued and outstanding on the grant date, while RSUs are not considered legally issued and outstanding until the RSUs vest. Once the RSUs vest, equivalent common shares will be issued or issuable to the grantee and therefore the RSUs are not considered for inclusion in total common shares issued and outstanding until vested.

Table of Contents

The following table sets-forth securities that could be potentially dilutive, but for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are anti-dilutive, and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

17. License Agreements

Rumpus (AR101)

In April 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Rumpus. Through this transaction the Company secured exclusive global rights to AR101 from Denovo in the fields of rare genetic pediatric onset or congenital disorders outside of oncology. AR101 is a pivotal study-ready therapeutic candidate initially targeting the treatment of VEDS.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Company paid an upfront fee of $1.5 million and aggregated fees of $0.6 million to Denovo and JHU. Upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, the Company will pay Rumpus up to $67.5 million in earn-out payments, which are payable in cash or shares of common stock, generally at the Company’s option. In addition, the Company received assignments of third-party licenses from Denovo and JHU and took over royalty obligations and performance-based milestones under these licenses.

On December 7, 2021 the FDA granted ODD to AR101 for the treatment of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which includes the treatment of VEDS. As a result of this designation, a milestone payment of $2.5 million is due and payable to Rumpus in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock. The $2.5 million milestone payment is included in our accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. In addition, on December 13, 2021 the FDA has cleared the IND application for AR101, enabling the Company to proceed with initiating a pivotal clinical trial for AR101 in VEDS. The PREVEnt Trial will assess the safety and efficacy of enzastaurin in COL3A1-confirmed VEDS patients.

Healight

In April 2020, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to secure worldwide rights to various potential esophageal and nasopharyngeal uses of Healight, an investigational medical device platform technology. Healight has demonstrated safety and efficacy in a proof-of-concept clinical study in SARS-CoV-2 patients, and the Company plans to advance this technology to further assess its safety and efficacy in additional randomized, controlled human studies, initially focused on SARS-CoV-2 patients.

The agreement with Cedars-Sinai grants the Company a license to all patent and development related technology rights for the intra-corporeal therapeutic use of ultraviolet light in the field of endotracheal and nasopharyngeal applications. The term of the agreement is on a country-by-country basis and will expire on the latest of the date upon which the last to expire valid claim shall expire, ten years after the first bona fide commercial sale of such licensed product in a country, or the expiration of any market exclusivity period granted by a regulatory agency. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company paid an initial $0.3 million license fee and approximately $0.1 million in earlier patent prosecution fees.

On November 23, 2021 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued a U.S. patent for the Healight ultraviolet-A light-based respiratory catheter to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The U.S. Patent Number

Overview

We are commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel therapeutics and consumer healthcare products. We operate through two business segments (i) Aytu BioPharma segment, consisting of various prescription pharmaceutical products sold through third party wholesalers, and (ii) Aytu Consumer Health segment, which consists of various consumer health products sold directly to consumers. We generate revenue by selling our products through third party intermediaries in our marketing channels as well as directly to our customers. We develop and manufacture our ADHD products at our manufacturing facilities and use third party manufacturers for our other prescription and consumer health products.

We have incurred significant losses in each year since inception. Our net losses were $11.5 million and $9.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $39.4 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $217.7 million and $178.3 million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses in connection with our ongoing activities, including the integration of our acquisitions and development of our product pipeline.

Significant Developments

COVID-19

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy and create economic uncertainties during fiscal years 2020 and 2021. The federal government and states-imposed restrictions on travel and business operations and placed limitations on the size of public and private gatherings. However, beginning the third quarter of fiscal 2021, with the introduction of vaccines under emergency use authorizations, these restrictions began to wind down and business operating environments have improved.

We believe COVID-19 has negatively impacted the overall market for prescription products. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to negatively impact our business in the future will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the new variants of coronavirus, the actions taken to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, and the continued impact of each of these items on the economies and financial markets in the United States and abroad. While states and jurisdictions have rolled back stay-at-home and quarantine orders and reopened in phases, it is difficult to predict what the lasting impact of the pandemic will be, and if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage were to experience additional shutdowns or other prolonged business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operation and financial condition. In addition, a recurrence or impact from new strains of COVID-19 cases could cause other widespread or more severe impacts depending on where infection rates are highest. We will continue to monitor developments as we deal with the disruptions and uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Orphan Drug Designation and FDA clearance of IND application for AR101

On December 7, we were notified by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) that AR101/Enzastaurin received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The treatment of vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (“VEDS”) is captured within this designation. The FDA grants Orphan Drug designation status to drugs and biologics that are intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases, or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. Orphan Drug designation affords us certain financial incentives to support clinical development and the potential for up to seven years of market exclusivity in the U.S. upon regulatory approval. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement among Aytu BioPharma and Rumpus VEDS LLC, Rumpus Therapeutics LLC and Rumpus Vascular (together with various of their affiliated persons, “Rumpus”), this achievement of an earn-out milestone for achieving Orphan Drug designation resulted in our obligation to pay $2.5 million to Rumpus in cash or in shares of our common stock. The $2.5 million milestone payment is included in our accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021. We have agreed with Rumpus that the payment will be made on the earlier to occur of ten business following our next financing or April 1, 2022.

On December 13, 2021 the FDA has cleared the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for AR101, enabling us to proceed with initiating a pivotal clinical trial for AR101 in VEDS. We plan to initiate the PREVEnt Trial in VEDS in the first half of calendar year 2022. The PREVEnt Trial will assess the safety and efficacy of enzastaurin in COL3A1-confirmed VEDS patients. There are currently no FDA-approved therapies for VEDS.

AR101 is an orally available investigational first-in-class small molecule, serine/threonine kinase inhibitor of the PKC beta, PI3K and AKT pathways. AR101 has been studied in more than 3,300 patients across a range of solid and hematological tumor types in trials previously conducted by Eli Lilly & Company. Dr. Hal Dietz developed the first preclinical model that mimics the human condition and recapitulates VEDS, and this model serves as the basis for the plausible clinical benefit and rationale for conducting a clinical trial with AR101 in VEDS.

First U.S. patent for Healight™

On November 23, 2021 the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) issued a U.S. patent for the Healight™ ultraviolet-A light-based respiratory catheter. U.S. Patent Number 11,179,575, titled “Internal Ultraviolet Therapy,” is the first issued patent protecting the Healight investigational device and covers methods of treating a patient

Table of Contents

for an infectious condition inside the patient's body through the insertion of a UV-light-emitting delivery tube inside a respiratory cavity of the patient at specific UV-A light wavelengths. The term of this patent extends to August of 2040.

Healight is an investigational medical device technology employing proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV)-A light via a novel respiratory medical device. This patent was issued to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, from which we have an exclusive worldwide license for all respiratory applications of the UV-A light-based technology. Proof of concept clinical findings demonstrated significant reductions in SARS-CoV-2 viral load and improvement in clinical outcomes in a small number of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients.

Divestiture of MiOXSYS

On July 1, 2021 we signed an Asset Purchase Agreement with UAB “Caerus Biotechnologies” (“UAB”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement, UAB has acquired all existing intellectual property rights, technical information and know-how related to MiOXSYS as well as all existing inventory and all rights attached and related to the product and manufacturing thereof. As consideration, UAB agreed to pay us approximately $0.5 million and make royalty payments to us of five percent of global net revenue of the MiOXSYS product for five years from the closing date of the transactions contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

On September 29, 2021, we and UAB entered into an amendment to the UAB APA, pursuant to which, (i) September 30, 2021 was established as the closing date, (ii) UAB was provided with termination rights in the event that the Company is unable to complete the transfer of intellectual property assets to UAB by May 31, 2022 (“Termination Rights”), provided that the delay is not due to IP offices, foreign or domestic and (iii) the Company is required to pay 5% of the deal purchase price in the event UAB terminates the agreement as provided in the Termination Rights.

As of December 31, 2021, we received $0.1 million payments from the agreed upon consideration of $0.5 million. We deferred the $0.1 million received from UAB as income until it satisfies the provisions in the Termination Rights, which was included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Product revenue. Total net product revenue was $23.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $8.0 million, or 53%, compared to $15.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the $11.1 million net revenue generated from the ADHD product portfolio of Neos, which we acquired in March 2021 and $0.5 million increase in year-over-year revenue of our consumer health products, partially offset by the $3.4 million decrease in revenue from sale of COVID-19 test kits, $0.2 million decrease in revenue resulting from the divesture of our Natesto prescription product in the third fiscal quarter of 2021 and $0.2 million decrease in revenue from the divestiture of MiOXSYS on July 1, 2021.

Cost of sales. Total cost of sales was $10.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $4.5 million, or 73%, compared to $6.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the $5.5 million costs incurred for the production and sale of the ADHD product portfolio of Neos, which we acquired in March 2021 and $1.3 million increase in cost of sales of our consumer health products, partially offset by the $2.3 million decrease in costs for COVID-19 test kits. Neos manufactures the ADHD products at its Grand Prairie, Texas facilities, and as such, allocates a significant portion of its intangible assets amortization and fixed assets depreciation into cost of sales. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expenses were included in cost of sales.

Research and development. Total research and development expense was $4.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $4.6 million, compared to $0.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was due primarily to $4.0 million expenses related to AR101, which was acquired in April 2021, including a $2.5 milestone payment upon receiving ODD, and $0.6 million regulatory and medical monitoring costs associated with ADHD product portfolio that was acquired in March 2021.

Advertising and direct marketing. Advertising and direct marketing expenses include direct-to-consumer marketing, advertising, sales and customer support and processing fees related to our consumer health segment. Total advertising and direct marketing expense were $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $0.4 million, or 8%, compared to $4.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Other selling and marketing. Total other selling and marketing expense was $4.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $3.6 million, or 331%, compared to $1.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the $4.5 million expenses associated with the commercialization of our ADHD product portfolio, which was acquired in March 2021, partially offset by the $0.2 million decrease in selling and marketing expenses resulting from the divesture of our Natesto prescription product in the third fiscal quarter of 2021.

General and administrative. Total general and administrative expense was $8.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $2.4 million, or 42%, compared to $5.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the $2.5 million general and administrative expenses of Neos, which was acquired in March 2021.

Acquisition related costs. Acquisition related costs was $1.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020, primarily related to the Neos Merger, which was closed on March 19, 2021. Such costs include legal fees, due diligence expenses and financial advisory fees. There was no such cost during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Amortization of intangible assets. Total amortization expense of intangible assets, excluding amounts included in cost of sales, was $1.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 33%, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due primarily to licensed intangible assets that were being amortized during the three months December 31, 2020 but which have subsequently been divested or written-off.

Other income/(expense), net. Total other income, net during the three months ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $20,000, an increase of $0.4 million, or 105%, compared to other expense, net of $0.4 million during the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in other income of $0.8 million from partial proceeds from the Natesto divestiture, partially offset by an increase in interest expense from the debt assumed from the Neos Merger in March 2021.

Loss from contingent consideration. Net loss from contingent considerations during the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.3 million compared to $3.3 million loss during the three months ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 10 – Fair Value Considerations).

Loss on debt extinguishment. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $0.3 million loss from conversion of outstanding debt to our shares of common stock. There was no such loss during the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Product revenue. Total net product revenue was $45.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $16.3 million, or 57%, compared to $28.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the $20.8 million net revenue generated from the ADHD product portfolio of Neos, which we acquired in March 2021, $2.2 million increase in net revenue from Karbinal and Poly-Vi-Flor, our other products within the Pediatric portfolio and $0.8 million increase in year-over-year revenue of our consumer health products, partially offset by the $5.4 million decrease in revenue from sale of COVID-19 test kits, $0.9 million decrease in revenue resulting from the divesture of our Natesto prescription product in the third fiscal quarter of 2021 and $0.4 million decrease in revenue from the divestiture of MiOXSYS on July 1, 2021.

Cost of sales. Total cost of sales was $20.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $10.0 million, or 96%, compared to $10.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the $10.4 million costs incurred for the production and sale of the ADHD product portfolio of Neos, which we acquired in March 2021 and $2.2 million increase in cost of sales of our consumer health products, partially offset by the $2.9 million decrease in costs for COVID-19 test kits. Neos manufactures the ADHD products at its Grand Prairie, Texas facilities, and as such, allocates a significant portion of its intangible assets amortization and fixed assets depreciation into cost of sales. During the six months ended December 31, 2021, $1.3 million of depreciation and amortization expenses were included in cost of sales.

Research and development. Total research and development expense was $7.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $6.5 million, compared to $0.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was due primarily to $5.1 million expenses related to AR101, which was acquired in April 2021, including a $2.5 milestone payment upon receiving ODD, $0.3 million increase in costs associated with our Healight Platform product candidate as well as $1.2 million regulatory and medical monitoring costs associated with ADHD product portfolio that we acquired in March 2021.

Other selling and marketing. Total other selling and marketing expense was $9.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $7.3 million, or 339%, compared to $2.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by $9.0 million costs associated with the commercialization of our ADHD product portfolio, which was acquired in March 2021, partially offset by $0.5 million decrease in selling and marketing expenses from the divesture of our Natesto prescription product in the third fiscal quarter of 2021.

General and administrative. Total general and administrative expense was $16.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $5.2 million, or 47%, compared to $11.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by $5.0 million general and administrative expenses of Neos which we acquired in March 2021.

Acquisition related costs. Acquisition related costs was $1.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020, primarily related to the Neos Merger, which was closed on March 19, 2021. Such costs include legal fees, due diligence expenses and financial advisory fees. There was no such cost during the six months ended December 31, 2021.

Impairment of goodwill. Since the June 30, 2021 annual goodwill impairment assessment, our stock price has continued to decline. As of September 30, 2021, our market capitalization was below the carrying value of our assets, which led Management to consider whether those assets should be revalued for impairment at an interim reporting date. Pursuant to the guidance under Topic ASC 350, Management conducted impairment testing at each reporting unit level to determine the recoverability of goodwill. Based on the evaluation, during the six months ended December 31, 2021, we recognized an impairment loss of $19.5 million related to the Aytu BioPharma segment. There was no such impairment expense during the six months ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 8 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets).

Amortization of intangible assets. Total amortization expense of intangible assets, excluding amounts included in cost of sales, was $2.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 32%, compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due primarily to licensed intangible assets that were being amortized during the six months December 31, 2020 but which have subsequently been divested or written-off.

Other income/(expense), net. Total other expense, net of other income during the three months ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $20,000, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 98%, compared to $1.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in other income of $1.5 million from partial proceeds from the Natesto divestiture and $0.5 million decrease in interest expense from fixed payment obligations, partially offset by $0.9 million increase in interest expense from the debt assumed from the Neos Merger in March 2021.

Loss from contingent consideration. Net loss from contingent considerations during the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $0.5 million compared to $3.3 million loss during the six months ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 10 – Fair Value Considerations).

Loss on debt extinguishment. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $0.3 million loss from conversion of outstanding debt to our shares of common stock. There was no such loss during the six months ended December 31, 2021.

Income tax benefit. The impairment of the Aytu BioPharma segment book goodwill changed the net deferred tax liability of $0.2 million recorded as of June 30, 2021 fiscal year end into a net deferred tax liability of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2021. As a result, we recognized an income tax benefit of $0.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021. There was no income tax expense or benefit during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We finance our operations through a combination of sales of our common stock and warrants, borrowings under our line of credit facility and cash generated from operations.

Shelf Registrations

In June 2020, we initiated an at-the-market offering program ("ATM"), which allow us to sell and issue shares of our common stock from time-to-time. Since initiated in June 2020 through December 31, 2021, we issued a total of 5,316,623 shares of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $28.0 million before estimated offering costs of $2.8 million. On June 2, 2021, we terminated our “at-the-market” sales agreement with Jefferies LLC. On June 4, 2021, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering^SM Sales Agreement (the “Cantor Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell up to $30.0 million of our common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $12.5 million of our common stock remained available to be sold pursuant to the Cantor ATM.

Underwriting Agreement

On December 10, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) (as amended and restated, the “Underwriting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, in an upsized firm commitment offering, 4,166,667 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to Wainwright at an offering price to the public of $6.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted Wainwright a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 625,000 shares of Common Stock at the same offering price to the public, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Wainwright exercised their over-allotment option in full, purchasing a total of 4,791,667 shares of Common Stock. The Company raised gross proceeds of $28.8 million through this offering. Offering costs totaled $2.6 million resulting in net cash proceeds of $26.2 million. In connection with the offering, the Company issued 311,458 underwriter warrants to

Table of Contents

purchase up to 311,458 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price per share of the underwriter warrants is $7.50 (equal to 125% of the public offering price per share for the shares of common stock sold in the offering) and the underwriter warrants have a term of five years from the date of effectiveness of the offering. The underwriter warrants are exercisable immediately. These warrants have a fair value of approximately $1.3 million and are classified with the stockholders' equity. Effective June 2, 2021, the Company terminated the Underwriting Agreement with Wainwright; pursuant to such termination, there will be no future sales of the Company’s Common Stock under the Underwriting Agreement.

Revolver Loan Agreement

In October 2019, our Neos subsidiary entered into a senior secured credit agreement with Eclipse Business Capital LLC (f/k/a Encina Business Credit, LLC) (“Eclipse”) as agent for the lenders (the “Loan Agreement”). Under the Loan Agreement, Eclipse will extend up to $25.0 million in secured revolving loans to us (the “Revolving Loans”), of which up to $2.5 million may be available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable (see Note 10 and Note 19).

Cash Flows

The following table shows cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:


	Six Months Ended December 31,				Increase
	2021		2020		(Decrease)

	(In thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(12,613)	$	(10,907)	$	(1,706)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(3,137)	$	(39)	$	(3,098)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	1,126	$	24,898	$	(23,772)

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities during these periods primarily reflected our net losses, partially offset by changes in working capital and non-cash charges including inventory write-down, changes in fair values of various liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion and other charges.

During the six months ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities totaled $12.6 million. The use of cash was approximately $26.7 million less than the net loss due primarily to non-cash charges of goodwill impairment, depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation, inventory write-down and loss from change in fair values of contingent consideration. These non-cash charges were partially offset by non-cash amortization of debt premium and non-cash gain from change in fair values of contingent value rights. In addition, our use of cash decreased due to changes in working capital including decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expense and other current assets, increase in accrued liabilities, offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

During the six-months ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities totaled $10.9 million. The use of cash was approximately $13.8 million less than the net loss due primarily to the non-cash depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation, and loss from change in fair value of contingent consideration and CVR, a decrease in inventory and an increase in accrued liabilities. These charges were offset by increases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other current assets and decreases in accounts payables and accrued compensation.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to $3.1 million payment of contingent consideration to Tris.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities of approximately $39,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to payment of contingent consideration.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily from $4.6 million net proceeds from issuance of our common stock under the ATM, partially offset by $2.7 million in payments of fixed payment arrangements and $0.8 million net reduction in our revolving loan.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2020, was $24.9 million. This was primarily related to the December 2020 offering for gross proceeds cost of $28.8 million offset by the offering cost of $2.6 million. We also completed the ATM offering with gross proceeds of $3.5 million, which was offset by the offering cost of $1.7 million, driven by a one-time payment in July 2020 of approximately $1.5 million. We paid approximately $2.8 million related to fixed payment obligation and $0.3 million of debt.

Capital Resources

We have obligations related to our loan and credit facilities, contingent considerations related to our acquisitions, milestone payments and purchase commitments.

Loan and Credit

Upon closing of the Neos Merger, we assumed $15.6 million principal and approximately $1.0 million in exit fee obligation under Neos’ credit facility with Deerfield. As of December 31, 2021, $16.0 million was outstanding under the Deerfield facility, including the exit fee. Interest is due quarterly at a rate of 12.95% per year. Payment on the Deerfield facility, including the exit fee and any unpaid interest, is due on May 11, 2022. If all or any of the principal is prepaid or required to be prepaid prior to December 31, 2021, then we shall pay, in addition to such prepayment and accrued interest thereon, a prepayment premium equal to 6.25% of the amount of principal prepaid.

Our Neos subsidiary’s Loan Agreement with Eclipse, provide us with up to $25.0 million in Revolving Loans, of which up to $2.5 million may be available for short-term swingline loans, against 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The Revolving Loans bear variable interest through maturity at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate, plus 4.50%. In addition, we are required to pay an unused line fee of 0.50% of the average unused portion of the maximum revolving facility amount during the immediately preceding month. Interest is payable monthly in arrears. The maturity date under the Loan Agreement is May 11, 2022.

We may permanently terminate the Loan Agreement with at least five business days prior notice and the payment of a prepayment fee equal to 0.5% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs prior to May 11, 2022.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

As a result of our acquisitions and licensing agreements, we are contractually and contingently obliged to pay, when due, various fixed and contingent milestone payments (see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information).

Upon closing of the Pediatric Portfolio acquisition from Cerecor, Inc. in October 2019, we assumed payment obligations that required us to make a payment of up to $9.5 million.

In February 2020, upon closing of our Innovus Merger, all of Innovus shares were converted to our common stock and CVRs, which represents contingent additional consideration of up to $16.0 million payable to satisfy future performance milestones. Depending on satisfaction of these conditions, we may be required to pay up to $10 million.

Table of Contents

Our Innovus subsidiary is also contractually obligated for inventory purchase commitments, for which we are expected to pay approximately $0.7 million during the fiscal year 2022.

Assumed with our acquisition of Innovus, we are required to make five payments of $0.5 million, between fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2033 to Novalere, when certain levels of FlutiCare sales are achieved.

In connection with our acquisition of the Rumpus assets, upon satisfaction of the milestones, we may be required to pay up to $67.5 million in earn-out payments to Rumpus. Under the licensing agreement with Denovo, we are required to make a payment of $0.6 for an option license fee in April 2022 and upon achievement of regulatory and commercial milestones, up to $101.7 million is payable to Denovo. Under the licensing agreement with JHU, upon achievement of regulatory and commercial milestone, we may be required to pay up to $1.6 million to JHU. Furthermore, as discussed above under “Significant Developments” the ODD ear-out milestone payment of $2.5 million is due and payable to Rumpus.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the notes to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition

We generate revenue from product sales through our Aytu BioPharma segment and Aytu Consumer Health Segment. We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) as each performance obligation is individually satisfied.

Revenue from our Aytu BioPharma segment involves significant judgment and estimates of the net sales price, including estimates of variable consideration (e.g., savings offers, prompt payment discounts, product returns, wholesaler (distributor) fees, wholesaler chargebacks and estimated rebates) to be incurred on the respective product sales (known as “Gross to Net” adjustments), and we recognize the estimated net amount as revenue when control of the product is transferred to our customers (e.g., upon delivery). Variable consideration is determined using either an expected value or a most likely amount method. The estimate of variable consideration is also subject to a constraint such that some or all of the estimated amount of variable consideration will only be included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue (in the context of the contract) will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Estimating variable consideration and the related constraint requires the use of significant management judgment and other market data. We provide for prompt payment discounts, wholesaler fees and wholesaler chargebacks based on customer contractual stipulations. We analyze recent product return history to determine a reliable return rate. Additionally, management analyzes historical savings offers and rebate payments based on patient prescriptions and information obtained from third party providers to determine these respective variable considerations.

Table of Contents

Savings offers

We offer savings programs for our patients covered under commercial payor plans in which the cost of a prescription to such patients is discounted. The amount of redeemed savings offers is recorded based on information from third-party providers against the estimated discount recorded as accrued expenses. The estimated discount is recorded as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized. Historical trends of savings offers will be regularly monitored, which may result in adjustments to such estimates in the future.

Prompt payment discounts

Prompt payment discounts are based on standard programs with wholesalers and are recorded as a discount allowance against accounts receivable and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized.

Wholesale distribution fees

Wholesale distribution fees are based on definitive contractual agreements for the management of our products by wholesalers and are recorded as accrued expenses and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized.

Rebates

The Rx Portfolio products are subject to commercial managed care and government managed Medicare and Medicaid programs whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating managed care organizations and federal and/or state governments. Calculations related to rebate accruals are estimated based on information from third-party providers. Estimated rebates are recorded as accrued expenses and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized. Historical trends of estimated rebates will be regularly monitored, which may result in adjustments to such estimates in the future.

Returns

Wholesalers’ contractual return rights are limited to defective product, product that was shipped in error, product ordered by customer in error, product returned due to overstock, product returned due to dating or product returned due to recall or other changes in regulatory guidelines. The return policy for expired product allows the wholesaler to return such product starting six months prior to expiry date to twelve months post expiry date. Estimated returns are recorded as accrued expenses and as a gross to net sales adjustments at the time revenue is recognized. We analyzed return data available from sales since inception date to determine a reliable return rate.

Wholesaler chargebacks

The Rx Portfolio products are subject to certain programs with wholesalers whereby pricing on products is discounted below wholesaler list price to participating entities. These entities purchase products through wholesalers at the discounted price, and the wholesalers charge the difference between their acquisition cost and the discounted price back to us. Estimated chargebacks are recorded as a discount allowance against accounts receivable and as a gross to net sales adjustment at the time revenue is recognized based on information provided by third parties.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Until objective and persuasive evidence exists that regulatory approval has been received and future economic benefit is probable, pre-launch inventories are expensed into research and development. Post-FDA approval, manufacturing costs for the production of our products are being capitalized into inventory. We periodically review the composition of our inventories in order to identify obsolete, slow-moving, excess or otherwise unsaleable items. Unsaleable items will be written down to net realizable value in the period identified.

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values on the date of grant. Stock option grants are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and compensation costs are recognized ratably over the period of service using the graded method. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are valued based on the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock and recognized ratably over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are adjusted for as they occur.

We calculated the fair value of options using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are valued based on the estimated grant date fair value of our common stock. The Black Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including stock price volatility and the expected life of stock options. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are highly subjective, judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation cost. We have not paid and do not anticipate paying cash dividends. Therefore, the expected dividend rate is assumed to be 0%. The expected stock price volatility for stock option awards is based on our stock price volatility in the valuation model. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect commensurate with the expected life assumption. The average expected life of stock options was determined according to the “simplified method” as described in SAB Topic 110, which is the midpoint between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to implied yields available from U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Forfeitures are adjusted for as they occur.

There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate stock-based compensation. There is currently no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values. Although the fair value of employee stock-based awards is determined using an option pricing model, such a model value may not be indicative of the fair value that would be observed in a market transaction between a willing buyer and willing seller. If factors change and we employ different assumptions when valuing our options, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have historically reported.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We assess impairment of long-lived assets annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicates that their carrying value amount may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment, net and goodwill and other intangible assets, net. Circumstances which could trigger a review include but are not limited to: (i) significant decreases in the market price of the asset; (ii) significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal or regulatory factors; (iii) or expectations that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. We typically complete our annual impairment test for goodwill using an assessment date in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Pursuant to the guidance under ASC350, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more of our reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if we conclude otherwise, then we perform a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with the carrying value. We also have the option to bypass the

qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a combination of a market multiple and a discounted cash flow approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgment. The principal estimates and assumptions that we use include prospective financial information (revenue growth, operating margins and capital expenditures), future market conditions, weighted average costs of capital, a terminal growth rate, comparable multiples of publicly traded companies in our industry, and the earnings metrics and multiples utilized. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in impairment assessments are reasonable. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount of the difference. We have determined that we have two reporting units that require periodic review for goodwill impairment, the Aytu BioPharma segment and the Aytu Consumer Health segment.

Due to the decline in stock price during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we determined that this was an indicator of increased risk primarily increasing the discount rates in the valuation models. We determined the fair value of our reporting segments utilizing the discounted cash flow model. As a result of the continued decline in its stock price, we risk adjusted our cost of equity, which increased the over-all discount rate. As a result, we determined that the fair value of the Aytu BioPharma segment was less than its carrying value, resulting in an impairment loss of $19.5 million. The quantitative test indicated there was no impairment to the Aytu Consumer Health segment as it resulted in an implied fair value of $5.9 million compared with the $0.5 million carrying value. There was no such impairment loss during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The Aytu Consumer Health segment, which has $8.6 million goodwill from the March 2020 Innovus merger, reported $1.4 million negative carrying value as of December 31, 2021.

Contingent considerations

We classify contingent consideration liabilities related to business acquisitions within Level 3 as factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity. We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities based on projected payment dates, discount rates, probabilities of payment, and projected revenues. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow methodology.

The fair value of the contingent value rights was based on a model in which each individual payout was deemed either (a) more likely than not to be paid out or (b) less likely than not to be paid out. From there, each obligation was then discounted at a 30% discount rate to reflect the overall risk to the contingent future payouts pursuant to the CVRs. This value is then re-measured for future expected payout as well as the increase in fair value due to the time value of money. These gains or losses, if any, are included as a component of operating cash flows.

Fixed payment arrangements are comprised of minimum product payment obligations relating to either make whole payments or fixed minimum royalties arising from a business acquisition. The fixed payment arrangements were recognized at their amortized cost basis using a market appropriate discount rate and are accreted up to their ultimate face value over time. The liabilities related to fixed payment arrangements are not re-measured at each reporting period, unless we determine the circumstances have changed such that the fair value of these fixed payment obligations would have changed due to changes in company specific circumstances or interest rate environments.

Warrants

Equity classified warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes model . Liability classified warrants are accounted for by recording the fair value of each instrument in its entirety and recording the fair value of the warrant derivative liability. The fair value of liability classified derivative financial instruments were calculated using a lattice valuation model. Changes in the fair value of liability classified derivative financial instruments in subsequent periods are recorded as derivative income or expense for the warrants and reported as a component of cash flows from operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and are operating in an effective manner.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021, we concluded that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to our analysis for the accounting of goodwill and other intangibles and accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets. As a result, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective (whereas we previously indicated in our Form 10-K that it is effective as of that date). In connection with the material weakness, we sought and received technical guidance from a third-party provider. This deficiency did not result in a revision of any of our previously issued financial statements. However, the deficiency may have resulted in a material misstatement in the future. In response, we have taken a number of steps, including incorporating the third-party provider review and expertise in our analysis, and we believe that our controls are now designed properly and operating effectively.

Such measures were implemented as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report and management believes that the enhanced controls are operating effectively and the deficiencies that contributed to the material weakness have been remediated. We expect to continue our efforts to maintain and improve our control processes, though there can be no assurance that we will avoid potential future material weaknesses.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness discussed above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, known to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our assessment over changes in our internal controls over financial reporting excluded those processes or controls that exist at our Neos subsidiary, which we acquired from the March 19, 2021 Neos Merger. Neos’ last annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been audited without any qualifications. Since the merger, there has been no significant change to its internal control over financial reporting.
