NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company

Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary (the “Company”) was founded in July 2017 as Harmony Biosciences II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The Company converted to a Delaware corporation named Harmony Biosciences II, Inc. in September 2017 and, in February 2020, the Company changed its name to Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. The Company’s operations are conducted in its wholly owned subsidiary, Harmony Biosciences, LLC (“Harmony”), which was formed in May 2017. The Company is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients living with rare neurological diseases as well as patients living with other neurological diseases who have unmet medical needs. The Company is headquartered in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.

2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as though the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $208,345 and $272,130, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $429,884.

The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand as of June 30, 2023, as well as additional cash generated from operating and financing activities will meet its operational liquidity needs and fund its planned investing activities for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, was derived from audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial

Table of Contents

statements and accompanying notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and elsewhere in this report. Actual results may differ significantly from estimates, which include rebates due pursuant to commercial and government contracts, accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of cash and, if applicable, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, including investments in Money Market Funds and debt securities that approximate fair value. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the balance sheet that equal the amount reflected in the statements of cash flows.


	As of
	June 30,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	317,415	$	243,784
Restricted cash		250		750
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statements of cash flows	$	317,665	$	244,534

Restricted cash includes amounts required to be held as a security deposit in the form of letters of credit for the Company’s credit card program and the fleet program.

Investments

The Company’s investments consist of debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Short-term and long-term investments are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts adjust the carrying value of investments and are recorded in interest expense, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Interest income and realized gains and losses, if any, are also recorded in interest expense, net, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses that result from the sale of investments are determined on a specific identification basis.

At each reporting period, the Company reviews any unrealized losses position to determine if the decline in the fair value of the underlying investments is a result of credit losses or other factors. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, any impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses in our consolidated statement of operations.

Interest income generated from our investments and cash equivalents, which is included in interest expense, net, was $2,731 and $5,153 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $250 and $317 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Concentrations of Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s cash and money market funds are held in two financial institutions. Due to their size, the Company believes these financial institutions represent minimal credit risk. Deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for U.S. institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

The Company is also subject to credit risk from its trade receivables related to its product sales. The Company extends credit to specialty pharmaceutical distribution companies within the United States. Customer creditworthiness is monitored and collateral is not required. Historically, the Company has not experienced credit losses on its accounts receivable. The Company monitors its exposure within accounts receivable and would record a reserve against uncollectible accounts receivable if necessary. As of June 30, 2023, three customers accounted for 100% of gross accounts receivable; Caremark LLC (“CVS Caremark”), which accounted for 38% of gross accounts receivable; Accredo Health Group, Inc. (“Accredo”), which accounted for 36% of gross accounts receivable; and PANTHERx Specialty Pharmacy LLC (“Pantherx”), which accounted for 26% of gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 100% of gross accounts receivable; CVS Caremark, which accounted for 41% of gross accounts receivable, Accredo, which accounted for 35% of gross accounts receivable; and Pantherx, which accounted for 24% of gross accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, three customers accounted for 100% of gross product revenues; CVS Caremark accounted for 35% of gross product revenues; Pantherx accounted for 33% of gross product revenues; and Accredo accounted for 32% of gross product revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, three customers accounted for 100% of gross product revenues; CVS Caremark accounted for 39% of gross product revenues; Pantherx accounted for 32% of gross product revenues; and Accredo accounted for 29% of gross product revenues.

The Company depends on a single source supplier for each of its product and active pharmaceutical ingredient.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides guidance related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and could initially be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022, which was extended to December 31, 2024 upon the FASB issuing ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates but does not expect a significant impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

It is the Company’s policy to measure non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These non-financial assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are

Table of Contents

subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (such as evidence of impairment), which, if material, are disclosed in the accompanying footnotes.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs and models that are supported by little or no market activity.

Money market funds are classified as Level 1 fair value instruments. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are classified as Level 2 and carried at fair value, which we estimate utilizing a third-party pricing service. The pricing service utilizes industry standard valuation models whereby all significant inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers, or other market-related data, are observable. We validate valuations obtained from third-party services by obtaining market values from other pricing sources. The Company did not classify any assets or liabilities as Level 3 as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value consisted of the following:

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In August 2019, the Company received FDA approval of WAKIX® (pitolisant) for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (“EDS”) in adult patients with narcolepsy. This event triggered a milestone payment of $75,000 under the provisions of the 2017 LCA (defined below) which the Company capitalized as an intangible asset. The Company determined a useful life of 10 years for such intangible asset, and, as of June 30, 2023, the remaining useful life was 6.3 years.

In October 2020, the Company received FDA approval for the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for WAKIX for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. This event triggered a milestone payment of $100,000 under the provisions of the 2017 LCA which the Company capitalized as an intangible asset and paid in January of 2021. The Company determined a useful life of 9 years for such intangible asset, and, as of June 30, 2023, the remaining useful life was 6.3 years.

In February 2022, the Company attained $500,000 in life-to-date aggregate net sales of WAKIX in the United States. This event triggered a final $40,000 payment under the provisions of the 2017 LCA which the Company capitalized as an intangible asset and paid in March of 2022. The Company determined a useful life of 7.6 years for such intangible asset, and, as of June 30, 2023, the remaining useful life was 6.3 years.

Amortization expense was $5,961 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $11,922 and $11,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is recorded in general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

8. LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

License Agreements

In July 2017, Harmony entered into a License Agreement (the “2017 LCA”) with Bioprojet Société Civile de Recherche (“Bioprojet”) whereby Harmony acquired the exclusive right to commercialize the pharmaceutical compound pitolisant for the treatment, and/or prevention, of narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, idiopathic hypersomnia, and Parkinson’s disease as well as any other indications unanimously agreed by the parties in the United States and its territories. A milestone payment of $50,000 was due upon acceptance by the FDA of

Table of Contents

pitolisant’s NDA, which was achieved in February 2019 and was expensed within research and development for the year ended December 31, 2019. A milestone payment of $77,000, which included a $2,000 fee that is described below, was due upon FDA approval of WAKIX (pitolisant) for treatment of EDS in adult patients with narcolepsy, which was achieved in August 2019. The $2,000 payment and $75,000 milestone payment were paid in August and November 2019, respectively. In addition, a milestone payment of $102,000, which included a $2,000 fee was due upon the FDA approval of the NDA for WAKIX for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. The $2,000 payment was paid in October 2020 and a $100,000 milestone payment was paid in January 2021. A final $40,000 milestone payment was paid to Bioprojet in March 2022 upon WAKIX attaining $500,000 in aggregate net sales in the United States. The 2017 LCA also requires a fixed trademark royalty and a tiered royalty based on net sales, which is payable to Bioprojet on a quarterly basis. The Company incurred $22,542 and $17,125 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $41,602 and $30,797 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, for sales-based, trademark and tiered royalties recognized as cost of product sold. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $22,542 and $25,367, respectively, for sales-based, trademark and tiered royalties.

On July 31, 2022, Harmony entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “2022 LCA”) with Bioprojet whereby Harmony obtained exclusive rights to manufacture, use and commercialize one or more new products based on pitolisant in the United States and Latin America, with the potential to add additional indications and formulations upon agreement of both parties. Harmony paid an initial, non-refundable $30,000 licensing fee in October 2022 and additional payments of up to $155,000 are potentially due under the 2022 LCA upon the achievement of certain future development and sales-based milestones. In addition, there are other payments due upon achievement of development milestones for new indications and formulations as agreed upon by both parties. The 2022 LCA also requires a fixed trademark royalty and a tiered royalty based on net sales upon commercialization, which will be payable to Bioprojet on a quarterly basis.

Agreement Related to Intellectual Property

In August 2021, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with ConSynance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “APA”) to acquire HBS-102 (formerly referred to as “CSTI-100”), a potential first-in-class molecule with a novel mechanism of action. Under the terms of the APA, the Company acquired full development and commercialization rights globally, with the exception of Greater China, for $3,500. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a single identified asset. In March 2023, the Company achieved a preclinical milestone, which triggered a $750 payment under the provisions of the APA, which the Company recognized as an IPR&D charge recorded in research and development within the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2023. There are additional payments due under the APA upon the achievement of certain milestones including $1,000 for preclinical milestones, $19,000 for development milestones, $44,000 for regulatory milestones and $110,000 for sales milestones.

Blackstone Credit Agreement

In August 2021, the Company entered into the Blackstone Credit Agreement that provides for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate original principal amount of $200,000 (the “Initial Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $100,000 (the “DDTL” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “Loans”). The DDTL was initially available to draw down through August 9, 2022. In August 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the expiration date of the DDTL to August 9, 2023, for which the Company will pay a ticking fee at a rate of 1% per annum on the undrawn portion of the DDTL, which commenced on August 10, 2022.

The repayment schedule for the Initial Term Loan consists of quarterly $500 principal payments, which commenced on December 31, 2021, and increasing to quarterly $5,000 principal payments beginning on March 31, 2024, with a $145,500 payment due on the maturity date of August 9, 2026 (“Maturity Date”). Interest is payable quarterly, which commenced on November 9, 2021, and continues through the Maturity Date. The Initial Term Loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a 1.00% floor, plus 6.50%.

Net cash received from the Initial Term Loan was $191,849, net of debt issuance costs of $8,151. The debt issuance costs related to the Initial Term Loan are being amortized as additional interest expense over the five-year loan term of the Blackstone Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company paid $1,000 in debt issuance costs relating to the DDTL, which are recorded in other current assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Initial Term Loan as of June 30, 2023 was $171,622.

11. LEASES

In June 2018, the Company entered into an operating lease for approximately fifteen thousand square feet of office space in Plymouth Meeting, PA, which expires in May 2024. The Company subsequently entered two separate operating leases for additional office space in Plymouth Meeting, PA, which include approximately thirteen thousand square feet and seven thousand square feet of additional office space, respectively, and expire in May 2024. The terms of the lease payments provide for rental payments on a monthly basis and on a graduated scale. The Company also leases a fleet of automobiles that are used by its sales representatives and are classified as operating leases.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 3 years, some of which may include the option to extend or terminate the leases.

The Company recorded operating lease costs of $444 and $392 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $822 and $777 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 1.4 years and the weighted-average discount rate for operating leases was 4.7%.

14. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2020 Stock Incentive Plan

In connection with the Company’s IPO, the board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the 2020 Incentive Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”), in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including the Company’s named executive officers) and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”), SARs, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock or cash-based awards.

Stock options and stock appreciation rights under the 2020 Plan have a 10-year contractual term and vest over the vesting period specified in the applicable award agreement, at achievement of a performance requirement, or upon change of control (as defined in the applicable plan). RSUs vest over the vesting period specified in the applicable award agreement, at achievement of a performance requirement, or upon change of control (as defined in the applicable plan). As of June 30, 2023, there were 6,825,685 shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The number of shares that may be issued under the 2020 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 4.0% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors.

2017 Stock Incentive Plan

In August 2017, the Company adopted an equity incentive plan (the “2017 Plan”). Under the 2017 Plan, directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company can be paid incentive compensation measured by the value of the Company’s shares of common stock through grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), or restricted stock. Following the adoption of the 2020 Plan, no further grants have been, or will be, made under the 2017 Plan. However, the 2017 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of outstanding awards granted under it.

Value of Stock Options and SARs

The Company values options and SARs using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company lacks sufficient historical company-specific volatility information. Therefore, the Company estimates expected stock volatility based on historical volatility of peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. For options with service-based vesting conditions, the expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. For SARs, the expected term is based upon the weighting of certain future events. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for the time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. An expected dividend yield of 0% is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents

The assumptions used to value the awards are summarized in the following table.


	As of
	June 30,		December 31,
	2023		2022
Dividend yield	0.00	%	0.00	%
Expected volatility	76.32 - 80.21	%	72.57 - 77.08	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.42 - 3.85	%	1.99 - 4.05	%
Lack of marketability discount	0.00	%	0.00	%
Expected term (years)	2.6 - 6.3		3.1 - 6.3

Value of RSUs

The fair value of RSUs is equal to the value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The weighted average per share fair value of awards issued under the 2017 Plan and 2020 Plan was $20.06 and $18.88 on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in the following line items:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

	$	7,793	$	7,371	$	14,354	$	12,267

Stock-based compensation expense, net related to options and RSUs issued under the 2017 Plan and 2020 Plan is included in stockholder’s equity, and a liability for SARs is included in other non-current liabilities, in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2023, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to options and RSUs was $74,153. Such amount will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations over a weighted average period of 2.6 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 30, 2021. The ESPP permits eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 15% discount from the lesser of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the first day of the offering period or the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the purchase date. Funds are collected from employees through after-tax payroll deductions. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP was initially 629,805, which will automatically increase on January 1 of each year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year or (ii) an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors. It is intended that the ESPP meet the requirements for an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. There were 14,043 and 14,889 shares issued under the ESPP for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The discount on the ESPP was $103 and $91 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $208 and $185 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is recorded within stock-based compensation expense.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed under the treasury stock method by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus, for periods with net income, the potential dilutive effects of stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Company Overview

We are a commercial-stage, pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for patients living with rare neurological diseases as well as patients living with other neurological diseases who have unmet medical needs. Our product, WAKIX (pitolisant), is a first-in-class molecule with a novel mechanism of action (“MOA”) specifically designed to increase histamine signaling in the brain by binding to H₃ receptors. In August 2019, WAKIX was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (“EDS”) in adult patients with narcolepsy, and its U.S. commercial launch was initiated in November 2019. In October 2020, WAKIX was approved by the FDA for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. WAKIX is the first-and-only approved product for patients with narcolepsy that is not scheduled as a controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”).

We believe that pitolisant’s ability to regulate histamine gives it the potential to provide therapeutic benefit in other rare neurological diseases that are mediated through H₃ receptors and histamine signaling. We are taking a mechanism-based approach to managing the life cycle of pitolisant and have identified idiopathic hypersomnia (“IH”), another central disorder of hypersomnolence like narcolepsy, as our next potential new indication for WAKIX. In April 2022, we initiated a Phase 3 registrational trial, the INTUNE Study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pitolisant in adult patients with IH. We have seen strong momentum in the INTUNE Study and completed enrollment in the study in May 2023. We are on track for topline data from this Phase 3 registrational trial in the fourth quarter of 2023. We are focusing our development efforts on other rare neurological disorders in which EDS is a prominent symptom, including Prader-Willi Syndrome (“PWS”) and myotonic dystrophy, otherwise known as dystrophia myotonica (“DM”). Based on the positive signals from the data from our Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial to evaluate pitolisant for the treatment of EDS and other key symptoms in patients with PWS, an end-of-phase 2 meeting with the FDA was held in June 2023. We aligned with the FDA on the proposed Phase 3 study to support further investigation of pitolisant as a potential treatment to address the unmet medical need for children, adolescents and adults with PWS experiencing EDS, for which there is currently no approved treatment. We plan to initiate the Phase 3 study in the fourth quarter of 2023. In June 2021, we initiated a Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial to evaluate pitolisant for the treatment of EDS, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction in adult patients with DM1 and we are on track for topline results from this trial in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Our partner, Bioprojet, completed a Phase 3 trial in pediatric patients with narcolepsy and received an approval from the European Medical Agency’s (“EMA”) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (“CHMP”) for a pediatric narcolepsy indication. We are working with Bioprojet towards the submission to the FDA of a supplemental NDA for pediatric narcolepsy, which we plan to submit in the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, we made progress with FDA in gaining alignment on the requirements for pediatric exclusivity for WAKIX, which we are actively pursuing.

We are actively working to expand our pipeline through the acquisition of additional assets that focus on addressing the unmet needs of patients living with rare neurological diseases as well as patients living with other neurological diseases who have unmet medical needs. We are targeting assets that will allow us to further leverage the expertise and infrastructure that we have successfully built at Harmony so we can optimize the benefit of internal synergies. Consistent with this objective, in July 2022, we entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “2022 LCA”) with Bioprojet whereby we obtained exclusive rights to manufacture, develop and commercialize one or more new products based on pitolisant in the United States and Latin America, with the potential to add additional indications and formulations upon the agreement of both parties. The 2022 LCA has the potential to generate new intellectual property and extend the pitolisant franchise. We are co-developing the new formulations of pitolisant with Bioprojet and work is ongoing.

In addition, in August 2021, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with ConSynance Therapeutics, Inc. (the “APA”) to acquire HBS-102, a Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1) antagonist previously developed as CSTI-100/ALB-127258(a)/ALB-127258 (the “Compound”), along with intellectual property and other assets related to the development, manufacture, and commercialization of the

Table of Contents

Compound. In connection with the acquisition, we made an upfront payment of $3.5 million and will be required to make additional payments upon the achievement of certain development milestones, regulatory milestones, and sales milestones and pay ongoing royalties upon commercialization. We acquired full development and commercialization rights globally, but we have provided a grant-back license to ConSynance for the development and commercialization of the Compound in Greater China. A preclinical proof-of-concept study to assess the effect of HBS-102 on hyperphagia, weight gain, and other metabolic parameters in a mouse model of PWS is ongoing.

Pitolisant was developed by Bioprojet and approved by the EMA in 2016 for the treatment of narcolepsy in adult patients with or without cataplexy and in 2021 for the treatment of EDS in adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea. We acquired an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize pitolisant in the United States pursuant to our license agreement with Bioprojet (as amended, the “2017 LCA”) in July 2017. Pitolisant was granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of narcolepsy by the FDA in 2010. It received Breakthrough Therapy designation for the treatment of cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy and Fast Track status for the treatment of EDS and cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy in April 2018.

We were founded in July 2017 as Harmony Biosciences II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. We converted to a Delaware corporation named Harmony Biosciences II, Inc. in September 2017, and, in February 2020, we changed our name to Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. Our operations are conducted by our wholly owned subsidiary, Harmony Biosciences, LLC, which was formed in May 2017. Our operations to date have consisted of building and staffing our organization, acquiring the rights to pitolisant, raising capital, opening an investigational new drug application (“IND”) for pitolisant in narcolepsy, conducting an Expanded Access Program (“EAP”) for pitolisant for appropriate patients with narcolepsy in the United States, preparing and submitting our NDA for pitolisant, gaining NDA approval for WAKIX for the treatment of EDS or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy, and launching and commercializing WAKIX in the United States. In addition, we have opened INDs for the development of pitolisant in PWS, DM and IH and have initiated clinical trials in pursuit of potential new indications in those rare disease patient populations.

Commercial Performance Metrics

As of June 30, 2023, we continued to see growth in the number of unique healthcare professional (“HCP”) prescribers of WAKIX since it became available in November 2019. The average number of patients on WAKIX for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately 5,450. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, we have secured formulary access for more than 80% of all insured lives (Commercial, Medicare and Medicaid) in the United States. Within these covered lives, we have observed favorable access to WAKIX subsequent to the expanded approval of WAKIX for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy in October 2020.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

Net product sales includes gross sales of WAKIX less provisions for sales discounts and allowances, which includes trade allowances, rebates to government and commercial entities, and discounts. Although we expect net sales to increase over time, provisions for sales discounts and allowances may fluctuate based on the mix of sales to different customer segments and/or changes in our estimates.

Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales includes manufacturing and distribution costs, the cost of the drug substance, FDA program fees, royalties due to third parties on net product sales, freight, shipping, handling, storage costs and salaries of employees involved with production. We expect the cost of product sales to increase as we continue to ramp up production in order to meet future demand for WAKIX and diversify our supply chain for WAKIX.

Table of Contents

The shelf life of WAKIX is three years from date of manufacture, with the earliest expiration of current inventory expected to be January 2025. We regularly review our inventory levels and expect write-offs from time to time. We will continue to assess inventory levels in future periods as demand for WAKIX and the rate of inventory turnover evolves. We currently expect to have adequate supply of WAKIX into the third quarter of 2024, with additional API on-hand inventory to support at least 36 months beyond this time frame.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses primarily include development programs for potential new indications for pitolisant in patients with IH, PWS and DM. We also incur research and development expenses related to our team of Medical Science Liaisons (“MSLs”) who interact with key opinion leaders, with a focus on the science, the role of histamine in sleep-wake state stability and the novel mechanism of action of pitolisant. In addition, our MSLs support our market access team with the presentation of clinical data to payors upon request and our clinical development team to identify potential clinical trial sites. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We have significantly increased our research and development efforts as we advance our clinical programs in IH, PWS and DM and assess other product candidates to expand our pipeline. Research and development expenses also include:

●

employee-related expenses, such as salaries, share-based compensation, benefits and travel expenses for our research and development personnel;

●

direct third-party costs such as expenses incurred under agreements with CROs, and contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”);

●

manufacturing costs in connection with producing materials for use in conducting clinical trials;

●

costs related to packaging and labeling of clinical supplies;

●

other third-party expenses (e.g., consultants, advisors) directly attributable to the development of our product candidates; and

●

amortization expense for assets used in research and development activities.

We do not track research and development expenses on an indication-by-indication basis. A significant portion of our research and development costs are external costs, such as fees paid to CROs and CMOs, central laboratories, contractors, and consultants in connection with our clinical development programs. Internal expenses primarily relate to personnel who are deployed across multiple programs.

Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials, milestone payments, and the cost of submitting an NDA to the FDA (and/or other regulatory authorities). We expect our research and development expenses to be significant over the next several years as we advance our current clinical development programs and prepare to seek regulatory approval for additional indications for pitolisant, advance HBS-102 from preclinical studies into the clinic, and identify potential new product candidates to develop toward new indications.

At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of any additional indications for pitolisant or other product candidates that we move forward for regulatory approval. There are numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing product candidates, including uncertainty related to:

●

the duration, costs and timing of clinical trials of our current development programs and any further clinical trials related to new product candidates;

Table of Contents

●

the sufficiency of our financial and other resources to complete the necessary preclinical studies and clinical trials;

●

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any future resurgence or new variants, on the ability to initiate new clinical trials and/or maintain the continuity of ongoing clinical trials, including our ability to access sleep labs in order to conduct objective sleep testing, that could be impacted by future shelter-in-place orders and needs of the health care system to focus on managing patients affected by COVID-19;

●

receiving Bioprojet’s consent to pursue additional indications for pitolisant;

●

the acceptance of INDs for our planned clinical trials or future clinical trials;

●

the successful and timely enrollment and completion of clinical trials;

●

the successful completion of preclinical studies and clinical trials;

●

successful data from our clinical programs that support an acceptable risk-benefit profile of our product candidates in the intended populations;

●

the receipt and maintenance of regulatory and marketing approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

●

establishing agreements with third-party manufacturers for clinical supply for our clinical trials and commercial manufacturing, if our product candidate is approved;

●

the entry into collaborations to further the development of our product candidates;

●

obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protection or regulatory exclusivity for our product candidates; and

●

successfully launching our product candidates and achieving commercial sales, if and when approved.

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our programs or any product candidate we develop would significantly change the costs, timing and viability associated with the development and/or regulatory approval of such programs or product candidates.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses primarily relate to the market development and commercialization activities of WAKIX for the treatment of EDS and cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. Market development and commercial activities account for a significant portion of our operating expenses and are expensed as incurred. We expect our sales and marketing expenses to increase in the near- and mid-term to support WAKIX’s indications for the treatment of EDS or cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy and to expand our portfolio with the anticipated growth from potential additional indications.

Sales and marketing expenses include:

●

employee-related expenses, such as salaries, share-based compensation, benefits and travel expenses for our sales, marketing and market access personnel;

Table of Contents

●

healthcare professional-related expenses, including marketing programs, healthcare professional promotional medical education, disease education, conference exhibits and market research;

●

patient-related expenses, including patient awareness and education programs, disease awareness education, patient reimbursement programs, patient support services and market research;

●

market access expenses, including payor education, specialty pharmacy programs and services to support the continued commercialization of WAKIX; and

●

secondary data purchases (i.e., patient claims and prescription data), data warehouse development and data management.

In addition, sales and marketing expenses include external costs such as website development, media placement fees, agency fees for patient, medical education and promotional expenses, market research, analysis of secondary data, conference fees and consulting fees.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, such as salaries, share-based compensation, benefits and travel expenses for our personnel in executive, legal, finance and accounting, human resources, investor relations, and other administrative departments. General and administrative expenses also consist of office leases, and professional fees, including legal, tax and accounting and consulting fees.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future to support our continued commercialization efforts, ongoing and future potential research and development activities, and increased costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely be driven by costs associated with the hiring of additional personnel and fees paid to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, among other expenses. Additionally, we anticipate increased costs associated with being a public company, including expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq and the SEC, insurance and investor relations costs. If any of our current or future indication expansion programs or new product candidates obtain U.S. regulatory approval, we expect that we would incur significantly increased expenses associated with building a sales and marketing team.

Paragon Agreements

We were party to a management services agreement with Paragon Biosciences, LLC (“Paragon”), which was terminated upon the consummation of our IPO, pursuant to which Paragon provided us with certain professional services.

We are also party to a right-of-use agreement with Paragon whereby we have access to and the right to use certain office space leased by Paragon in Chicago, Illinois. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid fees of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, pursuant to this agreement.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on debt facilities, amortization of debt issuance costs and amortization of premiums on our debt securities, partially offset by interest income earned on our cash and investment balances and accretion of the discount on our debt securities.

Net Product Revenue

Net product revenue increased by $27.2 million, or 25.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased by $61.0 million, or 31.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in both comparable periods was due to the growth in the average number of patients on WAKIX, and price increases. The average number of patients increased from 4,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 5,450 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales increased by $6.1 million, or 32.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased by $12.2 million, or 36.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in both comparable periods was due to higher sales of WAKIX. Cost of product sales is primarily comprised of the royalty to Bioprojet.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 18.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased by $8.0 million, or 39.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by increased clinical development work associated with IH, PWS and DM. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by increased clinical development work associated with IH, PWS and DM, an IPR&D charge related milestone related to preclinical milestones achieved for HBS-102 and increased personnel costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $4.4 million, or 21.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased by $9.4 million, or 24.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in both comparable periods was primarily due to patient engagement and

Table of Contents

marketing activities driven by our commercialization of WAKIX and increased personnel costs related to sales force expansion.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 2.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased by $4.8 million, or 12.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase to stock compensation associated with new awards, an increase in personnel cost, and an increase in intangible asset amortization as a result of the $40.0 million milestone payment in March 2022 upon attaining $500.0 million in life-to-date aggregate net sales of WAKIX in the United States.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net decreased by $1.2 million, or 29.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased by $2.7 million, or 33.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022 primarily due to interest income generated from our investments and cash equivalents, partially offset by higher interest rates on our debt as a result of the increase to the LIBOR. Interest income generated from our investments and cash equivalents, which is included in interest expense, net, was $2.7 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $9.8 million, representing a 22.2% effective tax rate, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and $5.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 19.5%, as compared to the same periods in 2022. Income tax expense was $18.1 million, representing a 22.1% effective tax rate, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and $7.6 million, or an effective tax rate of 14.4%, as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in our effective tax rate for both comparable periods was primarily driven by the utilization of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards during 2022, which reduced our effective rate tax in the prior year. We have utilized all of our federal NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2022, and the utilization of state NOL carryforwards may be subject to a substantial limitation due to state provisions. The effective tax rate of 22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included 5.1% for the provision of state income taxes, partially offset by a tax windfall benefit of 1.5% from the exercise of stock options and a 2.9% benefit from credits.

Liquidity, Sources of Funding and Capital Resources

Overview

To date, we have financed our operations primarily with (a) proceeds from sales of our convertible preferred stock; (b) borrowings under our debt agreements; (c) the proceeds from our IPO; and (d) the proceeds from the sale of common stock to Blackstone. From our inception through our IPO, we received aggregate proceeds of $345.0 million from sales of our convertible preferred stock. In August 2020, we completed the IPO of our common stock, in which we sold 6,151,162 shares of our common stock, including 802,325 shares of our common stock pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The shares were sold at a price of $24.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $135.4 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments of $429.9 million and an accumulated deficit of $208.3 million. As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding debt of $196.5 million.

We have invested a portion of our available cash in money market funds, U.S. government and agency securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper in accordance with our investment policy. Our investment policy defines allowable investments and establishes guidelines relating to credit quality, diversification, and maturities of our investments to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. All investment securities have a credit

rating of at least A-2/P-2/F2 from at least two National Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations. Our investment portfolio may be adversely impacted by future disruptions in the credit markets.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as though we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand as of June 30, 2023, will enable us to meet our operational liquidity needs and fund our planned investing activities for the next 12 months. We have based our liquidity and cash flow projections on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, and we could use our capital resources sooner than we expect.

Blackstone Credit Agreement

In August 2021, we entered into the Blackstone Credit Agreement that provided for (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate original principal amount of $200.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount up to $100.0 million (the “DDTL” and, together with the Initial Term Loans, the “Loans”). The DDTL was initially available to draw down through August 9, 2022. In August 2022, we entered into an agreement to extend the expiration date of the DDTL to August 9, 2023, for which we will pay a ticking fee at a rate of 1% per annum on the undrawn portion of the DDTL, which commenced on August 10, 2022. We used substantially all of the proceeds from the Blackstone Credit Agreement, and the related sale of our common stock, to repay the balance of the OrbiMed Credit Agreement.

The repayment schedule for the Initial Term Loan consists of quarterly $0.5 million principal payments, which commenced on December 31, 2021 and increases to quarterly $5.0 million payments beginning on March 31, 2024, with a $145.5 million payment due on the maturity date of August 9, 2026 (“Maturity Date”). Interest is payable quarterly commencing on November 9, 2021 and continuing through the Maturity Date. The Initial Term Loan bears interest at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR, subject to a 1.00% floor, plus 6.50%. The Loans are guaranteed by our subsidiary Harmony Biosciences, LLC.

The Blackstone Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on our ability, among other things, to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions and enter into affiliate transactions, in each case, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, the Blackstone Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant that requires us to maintain at all times cash and cash equivalents in certain deposit accounts in an amount at least equal to $10.0 million. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2023.

Agreement Related to Intellectual Property

In August 2021, we entered into the APA to acquire HBS-102, a potential first-in-class molecule with a novel mechanism of action. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired full development and commercialization rights globally, with the exception of Greater China, for $3.5 million. Additionally, there are payments due upon the achievement of certain milestones, including $1.0 million for additional preclinical milestones (see “Recent Milestone Payment”), $19.0 million for development milestones, $44.0 million for regulatory milestones and $110.0 million for sales milestones.

License Agreement

In July 2022, we entered into the 2022 LCA with Bioprojet whereby we obtained exclusive rights to manufacture, develop and commercialize one or more new products based on pitolisant in the United States and Latin America, with the potential to add additional indications and formulations upon the agreement of both parties. We paid an initial, non-refundable $30.0 million licensing fee in October 2022 and additional payments

of up to $155.0 million are potentially due under the 2022 LCA upon the achievement of certain future development and sales-based milestones. In addition, certain payments will become due upon the achievement of development milestones for new indications and formulations as agreed upon by both parties. The 2022 LCA also includes a fixed trademark royalty and a tiered royalty based on net sales of any new products commercialized, which will be payable to Bioprojet on a quarterly basis.

Recent Milestone Payments

In March 2023, we achieved a preclinical milestone, which triggered a $0.8 million payment under the provisions of the APA, which was paid in April 2023.

In March 2022, we made a final $40.0 million milestone payment to Bioprojet upon WAKIX attaining $500.0 million in life-to-date aggregate net sales in the United States.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our 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 of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. In accordance with GAAP, we evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.

Significant estimates include assumptions used in the determination of the amount of revenue recognized on sales of WAKIX, our costs incurred under services type agreements related to the performance of research and development activities, and the measurement of compensation expense pursuant to stock-based awards. We base our estimates on contractual terms, historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We define our critical accounting policies as those under GAAP that require us to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which we apply those principles. During the quarter covered by this report, there were no material changes to the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed, except as disclosed in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates. We invest a portion of our cash in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. The primary objectives of our investment activities are to preserve principal, maintain liquidity and maximize total return. In order to achieve these objectives, we invest in money market funds, U.S. government and agency securities, corporate bonds and commercial paper in accordance with our investment policy. Our investment policy defines allowable investments and establishes guidelines relating to credit quality, diversification, and maturities of our investments to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. All investment securities have a credit rating of at least A-2/P-2/F2 from at least two National Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations. We do not have any direct investments in asset-backed securities, collateralized debt or loan obligations, or structured investment vehicles. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Based on our $348.0 million of investments in money market funds, U.S. treasury notes, corporate bonds and municipal

Table of Contents

obligations as of June 30, 2023, an immediate 10% change in market interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair market value of our investment portfolio or on our financial position or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $196.5 million in borrowings outstanding. The Initial Term Loan bears interest at an interest rate equal to LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 6.50%. Based on the $196.5 million of principal outstanding as of June 30, 2023, an immediate 10% change in the LIBOR would not have a material impact on our debt-related obligations, financial position or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Fluctuation Risk

We are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; however, we have contracted with and may continue to contract with foreign vendors that are located in Europe. Our operations may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future.

Inflation Fluctuation Risk

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.
