Overview
Our
business specializes in the development, production and sale of innovative medications that offer unique competitive advantages and serve
unmet needs in the marketplace through our subsidiaries and deconsolidated companies. We own and operate one of the nation’s leading
ophthalmology pharmaceutical businesses, ImprimisRx. In addition to wholly owning ImprimisRx, we also have non-controlling equity positions
in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), both companies that began
as subsidiaries of Harrow. In 2020, Harrow created Visionology, Inc. (“Visionology”) and recently launched an online eye
health platform business in certain regions. We also own royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.
27
ImprimisRx
ImprimisRx
is our ophthalmology focused prescription pharmaceutical business. We offer to over 10,000 physician customers and their patients critical
medicines to meet their needs that are unmet by commercially available drugs. We make our formulations available at prices that are,
in most cases, lower than non-customized commercial drugs. Our current ophthalmology formulary includes over twenty compounded formulations,
many of which are patented or patent-pending, and are customizable for the specific needs of a patient. Some examples of our compounded
medications are various combinations of drugs formulated into one bottle and numerous preservative free formulations. Depending on the
formulation, the regulations of a specific state and ultimately the needs of the patient, ImprimisRx products may be dispensed as patient-specific
medications from our 503A pharmacy, or for in-office use, made according to current good manufacturing practices (or cGMPs) or other
FDA-guidance documents, in our FDA-registered New Jersey outsourcing facility (“NJOF”).
On
August 1, 2020, ImprimisRx entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “Dexycu Agreement”) with Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (“Eyepoint”), pursuant to which Eyepoint granted ImprimisRx the non-exclusive right to co-promote DEXYCU ® (dexamethasone
intraocular suspension) 9% for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery in the United States. Pursuant
to the Dexycu Agreement , Eyepoint pays ImprimisRx
a fee that is calculated based on the quarterly sales of DEXCYU in excess of predefined volumes to specific customers of ImprimisRx
in the U.S.
AMP-100
Sintetica
has granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to AMP-100 in the U.S. and Canada. AMP-100 is a patented, ophthalmic
topical anesthetic drug candidate. If FDA-approved, the active ingredient used in AMP-100 will be the first approved use of this active
ingredient in the U.S. ophthalmic market.
The
safety and efficacy of AMP-100 was demonstrated in various clinical trials including a Phase 2/3 randomized, double-masked, vehicle-controlled,
efficacy, safety and tolerability study in healthy volunteers and a non-inferiority Phase 3 study of 342 patients undergoing cataract
surgeries comparing AMP-100 to an active comparator. Ultimately, these studies demonstrated:
●
AMP-100
is safe, and the most common adverse event was mydrasis (dilation of pupil) in about 20% of patients which is an effect most ophthalmologists
may consider beneficial;
●
AMP-100
has rapid onset, and no inferiority to the active comparator (Phase 3);
●
Anesthesia
success of patients receiving AMP-100 was 95% vs. 20% with placebo (Phase 2/3 study);
●
Single
administration of AMP-100 provides roughly 20 minutes of sensory loss; and
●
AMP-100
has predictable offset (end of anesthesia) within a narrow bell curve (i.e. no wide variance).
We
expect a new drug application (“NDA”) for AMP-100 to be submitted by Sintetica to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2021 and,
if approved, we plan to commercially launch AMP-100 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
If
approved, we expect our initial commercial focus of AMP-100 to be on ophthalmic procedures that traditionally require the eye to be anesthetized.
According to a 2019 MarketScope report, there are over four million cataract surgeries performed in the U.S. annually. In addition to
cataract procedures, according to Ophthalmologica, there were about 5.9 million intravitreal injections performed in the U.S. in 2018.
Most of these intravitreal injections, which are typically treatments for variety of conditions, including, age-related macular degeneration,
diabetic macular edema, and uveitis, often require the ocular surface to be anesthetized during the procedure.
AMP-100
is protected by one issued patent and another patent-pending. The issued patent includes composition of matter and method of use claims
and could provide protection for AMP-100 into 2037.
In
addition to AMP -100,
we expect to acquire and/or develop additional FDA-approved/approvable ophthalmic products and product candidates that will allow us
to leverage the commercial infrastructure of ImprimisRx to promote, sell, and ultimately bring these products to market.
Visionology
Visionology,
a direct-to-consumer online eye health platform, leverages our experience in the ophthalmic pharmaceutical business as well as our relationships
with eyecare professionals across the United States. We recently launched a proof-of-concept model for Visionology within a certain region
of the U.S., and if successful, will expand the launch on a nationwide basis later in 2021.

Pharmaceutical
Compounding Businesses
Pharmaceutical
Compounding
Pharmaceutical
compounding is the science of combining different active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), all of which are approved by the FDA (either
as a finished form product or as a bulk drug ingredient) and excipients, to create specialized pharmaceutical preparations. Physicians
and healthcare institutions use compounded drugs when commercially available drugs do not optimally treat a patient’s needs. In
many cases, compounded drugs, such as ours, have wide market utility and may be clinically appropriate for large patient populations.
Examples of compounded formulations include medications with alternative dosage strengths or unique dosage forms, such as topical creams
or gels, suspensions, or solutions with more tolerable drug delivery vehicles.
Almost
all of our sales revenue is derived from making, selling and dispensing our compounded prescription drug formulations as cash pay transactions
between us and our end-user customer. As such, the majority of our commercial transactions do not involve distributors, wholesalers,
insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers or other middle parties. By not being reliant on insurance company formulary inclusion
and pharmacy benefit manager payment clawbacks, we are able to simplify the prescription transaction process. We believe the outcome
of our business model is a simple transaction, involving a patient-in-need, a physician’s diagnosis, a fair price and great service
for a quality pharmaceutical product. We sell our products through a network of employees and independent contractors and we dispense
our formulations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and in selected markets outside the United States.
Our
Compounding Facilities
Pharmaceutical
compounding businesses are governed by Sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). Section
503A of the FDCA provides that a pharmacy is only permitted to compound a drug for an individually identified patient based on a prescription
for a patient, and is only permitted to distribute the drug interstate if the pharmacy is licensed to do so in the states where it is
compounded and where the medication is received.
Section
503B of the FDCA provides that a pharmacy engaged in preparing sterile compounded drug formulations may voluntarily elect to register
as an “outsourcing facility.” Outsourcing facilities are permitted to compound large quantities of drugs without a prescription
and distribute them out of state with certain limitations such as the formulation appearing on the FDA’s drug shortage list or
the bulk drug substances contained in the formulations appearing on the FDA’s “clinical need” list. Entities voluntarily
registering with FDA as outsourcing facilities are subject to additional requirements that do not apply to compounding pharmacies (operating
under Section 503A of the FDCA), including adhering to standards such as current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) or other FDA guidance
documents and being subject to regular FDA inspection.
We
operate two compounding facilities located in Ledgewood, New Jersey. Our New Jersey operations are comprised of two separate entities
and facilities, one of which is registered with the FDA as an outsourcing facility (“NJOF”) under Section 503B of the FDCA.
The other New Jersey facility (“RxNJ”), is a licensed pharmacy operating under Section 503A of the FDCA. All products that
we sell, produce and dispense are made in the United States.
We
believe that, with our current compounding pharmacy facilities and licenses and FDA registration of NJOF, we have the infrastructure
to scale our business appropriately under the current regulatory landscape and meet the potential growth in demand we are targeting.
We plan to invest in one or both of our facilities to further their capacity and efficiencies. Also, we may seek to access greater pharmacy
and production related redundancy and markets through acquisitions, partnerships or other strategic transactions.
Pharmaceutical
Development Carve-Out Businesses
We
have ownership interests in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”), Surface and Melt and hold royalty interests in some of the
drug candidates of Surface and Melt. These companies are pursuing market approval for their drug candidates under the FDCA, including
in some instances under the abbreviated pathway described in Section 505(b)(2) which permits the submission of a new drug application
(“NDA”) where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant
and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference.
In
2018 and 2019, we formed and created subsidiaries named Radley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Radley”), Mayfield Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (“Mayfield”), and Stowe Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Stowe”). In 2020, we halted nearly all operating activities
related to these subsidiaries to invest resources in other areas and may not restart any or all activities related to these businesses.
In addition, we terminated license and acquisition agreements for Mayfield’s MAY-66 and MAY-44 drug candidates, and Stowe’s
STE-006 drug candidate.
29
De-Consolidated
Businesses (Noncontrolling Equity Interests)
Surface
Ophthalmics, Inc.
Surface
is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on development and commercialization of innovative therapeutics for ocular surface
diseases.
In
January 2021, Surface announced positive top-line results from a phase 2 trial of its drug candidate SURF-201, a 0.2% betamethasone,
preservative-free ophthalmic solution in the Klarity delivery vehicle for the treatment of post cataract surgery pain and inflammation.
According to the Surface results, SURF-201 was dosed twice daily, met its primary endpoints of absence of inflammation at both Day 8
and Day 15 and was found to be safe and well-tolerated by the patient group. In addition, a secondary endpoint showed almost 90% of patients
given SURF-201 were pain free at Day 15. SURF-201 marks the first ophthalmic therapeutic in the United States to utilize betamethasone
as well as being the first preservative-free unit dose therapy for the treatment of post-operative pain and inflammation.
Also
in January 2021, Surface announced the first patient dosed in a head-to-head phase 2 trial for its drug candidate SURF-100 (mycophenolate
sodium and betamethasone in Klarity vehicle) for the treatment of chronic dry eye disease. The head-to-head study will compare SURF-100
against leading on-market competitors lifitegrast ophthalmic solution 5% (marketed as Xiidra®) and cyclosporine ophthalmic emulsion
0.05% (marketed as Restasis®).
In
February 2021, Surface announced the first patient dosed in a phase 2 trial for its drug candidate SURF-200 (betamethasone in Klarity
vehicle) for the treatment of episodic dry eye flares. The dose ranging study for SURF-200 will be administered in two different low
concentration formulations of betamethasone in the Klarity vehicle. The trial will enroll 120 to 140 patients with a primary endpoint
of Symptom Improvement of one unit based on the University of North Carolina Dry Eye Management Scale by the eighth day.
In
2018, Surface closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we lost our controlling interest and deconsolidated Surface
from our consolidated financial statements. During May, June and July of 2021, Surface closed an offering of its preferred stock at a
purchase price of $4.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds to Surface of approximately $25,000,000 (the “Surface Series B Offering”).
We own 3,500,000 shares of Surface common stock which was approximately 20% of the equity and voting interests following the final close
of the Surface Series B Offering. Harrow owns mid-single digit royalty rights on net sales of SURF-100, SURF-200 and SURF-201.
Melt
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Melt
is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary non-intravenous, sedation
and anesthesia therapeutics for human medical procedures in hospital, outpatient, and in-office settings. Melt intends to seek regulatory
approval for its proprietary technologies, where possible. In December 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Melt (the
“Melt Asset Purchase Agreement”), and Harrow assigned to Melt the underlying intellectual property for Melt’s current
pipeline, including its lead drug candidate MELT-100. The core intellectual property Melt owns is a patented series of combination non-opioid
sedation drug formulations that we estimate to have multitudinous applications.
MELT-100
is a novel, sublingually delivered, non-IV, opioid-free drug candidate being developed for procedural sedation. Melt filed an investigational
new drug application (“IND”) with the FDA in June 2020 and began its clinical program for MELT-100. In February 2021, Melt
announced data from, and the successful completion of, its phase 1 study. Melt expects to begin its phase 2 study for MELT-100 in the
second half of 2021.
In
January 2019, Melt closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we lost our controlling interest and deconsolidated
Melt from our consolidated financial statements. We own 3,500,000 shares of Melt common stock, which was approximately 44% of the equity
and voting interests issued and outstanding of as of June 30, 2021. We expect Melt to complete another round of financing within the
next six months. Pursuant to the terms of the Melt Asset Purchase Agreement, Melt is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments
to the Company on net sales of MELT-100, while any patent rights remain outstanding, subject to other conditions. Melt can require the
Company to cease compounding like products at the time of FDA approval of MELT-100. If approved, we do not expect a cessation of compounding
like products to have a material impact on our operations and financial performance.
30
Eton
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Eton
is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative drug products. Its pipeline includes
several products and drug candidates in various stages of development across a variety of dosage forms. In May 2017, Eton closed an offering
of its Series A Preferred Stock and we lost our controlling interest in it. In November 2018, Eton completed an initial public offering
of its common stock. At that time, we gave up our controlling interest and deconsolidated Eton from our consolidated financial statements.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report and following our April 2021 sale, we own 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock. We owned less
than 10% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of June 30, 2021.
Factors
Affecting Our Performance
We
believe the primary factors affecting our performance are our ability to increase revenues of our proprietary compounded formulations
and certain non-proprietary products, grow and gain operating efficiencies in our pharmacy operations, potential regulatory-related restrictions,
optimize pricing and obtain reimbursement options for our proprietary compounded formulations, and continue to pursue development and
commercialization opportunities for certain of our ophthalmology and other assets that we have not yet made commercially available as
compounded formulations. We believe we have built a tangible and intangible infrastructure that will allow us to scale revenues efficiently
in the near and long-term. All of these activities will require significant costs and other resources, which we may not have or be able
to obtain from operations or other sources. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Reimbursement
Options
Our
proprietary ophthalmic compounded formulations are currently primarily available on a cash-pay basis. However, we work with third-party
insurers, pharmacy benefit managers and buying groups to offer patient-specific customizable compounded formulations at accessible prices.
We may devote time and other resources to seek reimbursement and patient pay opportunities for these and other compounded formulations
and we have hired pharmacy billers to process certain existing reimbursement opportunities for certain formulations. However, we may
be unsuccessful in achieving these goals, as many third-party payors have imposed significant restrictions on reimbursement for compounded
formulations in recent years. Moreover, third-party payors, including Medicare, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs
by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved
products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. Further, the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care
Reform Law”), may have a considerable impact on the existing U.S. system for the delivery and financing of health care and could
conceivable have a material effect on our business. As a result, reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors may
never be available for any of our products or, if available, may not be sufficient to allow us to sell the products on a competitive
basis and at desirable price points. We are communicating with government and third-party payors in order to make our formulations available
to more patients and at optimized pricing levels. However, if government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage
and reimbursement levels for our formulations, the market acceptance and opportunity for our formulations may be limited.
COVID-19
Pandemic
A
novel strain of coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The disease caused by it, COVID-19, was declared a
global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. On March 18, 2020, CMS released guidance for U.S. healthcare providers
to limit all elective medical procedures in order to conserve personal protective equipment and limit exposure to COVID-19 during the
pendency of the pandemic. In addition to limiting elective medical procedures, many hospitals and other healthcare providers have strictly
limited access to their facilities during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global
supply chains and healthcare delivery, led to social distancing recommendation, and created significant volatility in financial markets.
In May 2020 and the following months, U.S. states and geographies began easing restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic including
those restrictions related to elective procedures. We have since seen sales of our products return to near historical norms and trends
as restrictions associated with elective procedures and the COVID-19 pandemic have continued to ease.
However,
given the unprecedented and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic virus, including any mutations/variants, we may not be able to reasonably
estimate the impacts it may have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future, especially if there are
new restrictions in elective procedures in the future which would have an adverse impact, which may be material, on our future revenues,
profitability and cash flows.
31
Recent
Developments
The
following describes certain developments in 2021 to date that are important to understand our financial condition and results of operations.
See the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about each of these
developments.
PPP
Loan
In
April 2020, we entered into an unsecured promissory note and related Business Loan Agreement with Renasant Bank, as lender, for a loan
(the “PPP Loan”) in the principal amount of $1,967,000 and received cash proceeds of the same amount, pursuant to the Paycheck
Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”),
which was enacted March 27, 2020. The PPP is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. On March 30, 2021, the Company received
a notice of forgiveness of the full balance of the PPP Loan, including all accrued interest, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the CARES Act and accordingly recognized a gain on forgiveness of debt of $1,967,000.
Eton
Stock Sale
In
April 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 1,518,000 shares of our Eton common stock at a public offering price of $7.00
per share (the “Eton Stock Sale”). The gross proceeds to us from the Eton Stock Sale were $10,626,000 before deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. Following such sale, we own 1,982,000 shares of Eton common
stock, which represented less than 10% of the equity interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of June 30, 2021.
As
part of the Eton Stock Sale, we also agreed, for a period of 180 days, not to conduct any further sales of shares of its common stock
of Eton or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any common stock of Eton (or any securities convertible into, or exercisable
or exchangeable for, the common stock of Eton).
8.625%
Senior Notes Due 2026
During
April, May and June 2021, we closed offerings totaling $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”).
T he Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company
and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The
Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness and structurally subordinated
to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables. The Notes bear interest at the
rate of 8.625% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each
year, commencing on July 31, 2021. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2026.
Prior
to February 1, 2026, we may, at our option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest
to, but excluding, the date of redemption. We may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option on or after
February 1, 2026 and prior to maturity, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but
excluding, the date of redemption. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the redeemed Notes.
Series
B Cumulative Preferred Stock
On
May 5, 2021, we sold 440,000 shares of Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) for net
proceeds of $10,670,000. On June 17, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The
redemption price for the 440,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding was equal to $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, which in aggregate totaled $11,127,000.
32
Sintetica
Agreement
In
July 2021, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Sintetica Agreement”) with Sintetica S.A. (“Sintetica”),
pursuant to which Sintetica granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to its patented ophthalmic drug candidate
(“AMP-100”) in the U.S. and Canada.
Pursuant
to the Sintetica Agreement, the Company will pay Sintetica a per unit transfer price to supply AMP-100, along with a per unit royalty
for units sold. The Company is required to pay Sintetica up to $18,000 in one-time milestone payments including a $5,000 payment due
within 30 days of signing the Sintetica Agreement and the balance of payments due upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercial
milestones. Under the terms of the Sintetica Agreement, Sintetica will be responsible for regulatory filings for AMP-100 in the U.S.
Subject
to certain limitations, the term of the Sintetica Agreement is ten years, and allows for a ten-year extension if certain sales thresholds
are met.

The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses between periods was primarily attributable to an increase in commissions and
other expenses related to increased sales, and as well as an increase in our sales and marketing expenses related to in-person conferences
and new employee costs to support sales growth.

Information About Segments and Geographic Areas
Management
evaluates performance of the Company based on operating segments. Segment performance for our two operating segments are based on segment
contribution. Our reportable segments consist of (i) our commercial stage pharmaceutical business ImprimisRx; and (ii) the start-up operations
associated with our pharmaceutical drug development business (Pharmaceutical Drug Development). Segment contribution for the segments
represents net revenues less cost of sales, research and development, selling and marketing expenses, and select general and administrative
expenses. We do not evaluate the following items at the segment level:
●
Selling,
general and administrative expenses that result from shared infrastructure, including certain expenses associated with litigation
and other legal matters, public company costs (e.g. investor relations), board of directors and principal executive officers, and
other like shared expenses.
●
Operating
expenses within selling, general and administrative expenses that result from the impact of corporate initiatives. Corporate initiatives
primarily include integration, restructuring, acquisition and other shared costs.
35
●
Other
select revenues and operating expenses including R&D expenses, amortization, and asset sales and impairments, net as not all
such information has been accounted for at the segment level, or such information has not been used by all segments.
●
Total
assets including capital expenditures.
The
Company defines segment net revenues as pharmaceutical compounded drug sales, licenses and other revenue derived from related agreements.
Cost
of sales within segment contribution includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active
pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing equipment and
tenant improvements depreciation, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist mainly of personnel-related costs, marketing and promotion costs, distribution costs, professional
service costs, insurance, depreciation, facilities costs, transaction costs, and professional services costs which are general in nature
and attributable to the segment.
See
Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information about our reportable
segments.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our
cash on hand (including restricted cash) at June 30, 2021 was $72,851,000, compared to $4,301,000 at December 31, 2020.
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report, we believe that cash and cash equivalents of $72,651,000 and restricted cash of $200,000, totaling
approximately $72,851,000 at June 30, 2021, will be sufficient to sustain our planned level of operations and capital expenditures for
at least the next 12 months. In addition, we may consider the sale of certain assets including, but not limited to, part of, or all of,
our ownership interest in Eton, Surface, Melt, and/or any of our consolidated subsidiaries. However, we may pursue acquisitions of pharmacies,
revenue generating products, drug candidates or other strategic transactions that involve large expenditures or we may experience growth
more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which could result in the depletion of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated
and could require us to seek additional financing to support our operations.
We
expect to use our current cash position and funds generated from our operations and any financing to pursue our business plan, which
includes developing and commercializing drug candidates, compounded formulations and technologies, integrating and developing our operations,
pursuing potential future strategic transactions as opportunities arise, including potential acquisitions of additional pharmacy, outsourcing
facilities, drug company and manufacturers, drug products, drug candidates, and/or assets or technologies, and otherwise fund our operations.
We may also use our resources to conduct clinical trials or other studies in support of our formulations or any drug candidate for which
we pursue FDA approval, to pursue additional development programs or to explore other development opportunities.

Operating
Activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $8,648,000 compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $3,201,000 during the same period in the prior year. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the
periods was mainly attributed to the increase in revenues.
Investing
Activities
Net
cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $8,445,000 compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $610,000, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities in 2021 was primarily associated with the sale of a portion
of our investment in Eton. Cash used in investing activities in 2020 was primarily associated with equipment and software purchases and
upgrades along with investments in our intellectual property portfolio.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $51,457,000 and $2,964,000, respectively. Cash provided
by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of Notes,
net of the payment of all outstanding obligations to the Company’s previous senior lender, SWK Funding, LLC and its partners.
Sources
of Capital
Our
principal sources of cash consist of cash provided by operating activities from our ImprimisRx business, and recently, proceeds from
the sale of the Notes and sale of Eton Stock. We may also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries,
along with the some or all of the remaining portion of our Eton common stock.
The
changing trends and overall economic outlook in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the historic interim stay-at-home orders and
bans on elective surgeries, created uncertainty surrounding our operating outlook and may impact our future operating results if there
is a rise in COVID-19 related cases in the U.S. In addition, we may acquire new products, product candidates and/or businesses, as a
result, we may need significant additional capital to support our business plan and fund our proposed business operations. We may receive
additional proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants that are currently outstanding. We may also seek additional financing
from a variety of sources, including other equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements,
sales of assets or any other financing transaction. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our
existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable terms
or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration
or licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates
or proprietary technologies or formulations, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds by incurring
additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization
may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments
and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as the financial and operating covenants. Further, we may incur substantial costs
in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and
distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we
may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.
We
may be unable to obtain financing when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions, conditions
in the pharmaceuticals and pharmacy industries, or our operating history, including our past bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, the
fact that we have a limited history of profitability could further impact the availability or cost to us of future financings. As a result,
sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source or, if available, such funds may not be available on terms that are
acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital needs when needed, then we may need to forego pursuit of potentially
valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan,
which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back
or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing
and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations entirely.
