+Added: The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties.
+Added: Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page ii, the “Risk Factors” set forth in Item 1A, and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
+Added: We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements or the risk factors.

+Added: Executive Summary
+Added: Clinical Development
+Added: Our lead clinical asset, RZ358, is an antibody therapy that we are preparing for Phase 3 clinical development as a potential treatment for congenital HI, an ultra-rare pediatric genetic disorder.
+Added: We reported positive topline results from the RIZE study in March 2022.
+Added: These results were presented at the Pediatric Endocrine Society Meeting on May 1, 2022 and recently announced that results will also be presented at the European Society of Pediatric Endocrinology Meeting on September 16, 2022.
+Added: In the study it was demonstrated that administration of RZ358 resulted in a > 50% improvement in hypoglycemic events across all doses and approximately 75% improvement at the mid (6 mg/kg) and top (9 mg/kg) doses.
+Added: There were no adverse drug reactions, dose-limiting toxicities, or drug-related serious adverse events.
+Added: We believe that these positive results from the RIZE study are Phase 3 enabling and accordingly we have now initiated interactions with regulatory authorities in the US and Europe.
+Added: As the next critical step in the program, we are substantially dependent upon achieving successful interaction with regulatory authorities to enable Phase 3.
+Added: Among other matters, we need to obtain alignment with regulators on a number of critical criteria (the “Factors”) including but not limited to the following:
+Added: (i) overall study design parameters including the potential inclusion of a placebo control arm;
+Added: (ii) the total number of subjects in the study;
+Added: (iii) the doses we intend to study in Phase 3 and the permissible ages of children that we will be permitted to enroll in the study;
+Added: (iv) the total duration of dosing in the study;
+Added: and (v) the primary and secondary endpoints to be evaluated in the study.
+Added: Our objective is to complete the regulatory interactions prior to the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2023 which would facilitate initiation of a Phase 3 study in the first half of calendar year 2023.
+Added: To the extent that we are unable to achieve satisfactory alignment with regulators with regard to the Factors and other matters pertaining to a Phase 3 study, the success of the RZ358 development program could be significantly impaired and this would have a material and adverse impact on our prospects and results of operations.
+Added: Our second clinical asset, RZ402, is an oral PKI being developed as a potential therapy for DME.
+Added: In calendar year 2022 we completed Phase 1 clinical development for RZ402 including an MAD study that validated and supported the potential for once daily oral dosing.
+Added: The MAD study showed dose-dependent increases in systemic exposures, with repeat-dosing to steady-state resulting in the highest concentrations of RZ402 explored to date, exceeding 200 ng/mL and 50 ng/mL at peak and 24-hour trough, respectively.
+Added: The MAD study results showed that RZ402 was generally safe and well-tolerated, including at higher doses than previously tested in the SAD study.
+Added: There were no serious adverse events, adverse drug reactions or identified risks.
+Added: We are advancing developmental activities toward a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study, which we plan to initiate during the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.
+Added: Financing Activities
+Added: Immediately following our announcement of the success of the RIZE study, we initiated financing activities which resulted in the receipt of gross proceeds of approximately $130.0 million between May and July of 2022.
+Added: Specifically, On May 1, 2022, we entered into (i) an underwriting agreement with Jefferies LLC, as representative of the underwriters listed therein, relating to the issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten registered direct offering (the “2022 RDO”), and (ii) a placement agency agreement with Jefferies LLC, that provides for a private placement of equity securities (the “Private Placement”).
+Added: The 2022 RDO resulted in the issuance of (i) approximately 18.0 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $3.80 per share, (ii) Class A pre-funded warrants (the “Class A PFWs”) to purchase up to 2.0 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.799 per Class A PFW, and (iii) Class B pre-funded warrants (the “Class B PFWs”) to purchase up to 10.9 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.799 per Class B PFW.
+Added: On May 4, 2022, the 2022 RDO closed resulting in net proceeds of approximately $110.1 million.
+Added: The gross amount of the 2022 RDO was $117.6 million, before deduction of an aggregate of $7.1 million for underwriting discounts and approximately $0.4 million for professional fees and other offering expenses payable by us.
+Added: In connection with the 2022 RDO, certain of our officers and directors agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock held by them through July 30, 2022.
+Added: Upon closing of the 2022 RDO, we did not have a sufficient number of shares of common stock available to permit exercise of any of the Class B PFWs.
+Added: Therefore, the Class B PFWs were contingently exercisable upon the approval by our shareholders of an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock (the “Shareholder Approval”).
+Added: 16, 2022, the Shareholder Approval occurred which resulted in an increase in our authorized shares of common stock from 40.0 million shares to 100.0 million shares.
+Added: As a result of this contingency, the Class B PFWs were accounted for as a derivative liability in our consolidated financial statements until the Shareholder Approval was obtained.
+Added: The closing for the Private Placement occurred in July 2022 whereby we received gross proceeds of approximately $12.3 million in exchange for the issuance of approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.80 per share.
+Added: The net proceeds from the Private Placement amounted to approximately $11.6 million after deduction of $0.7 million for underwriting commissions.
+Added: The additional funding provides us with the wherewithal to fund a Phase 3 clinical program for RZ358 as well as a Phase 2 proof of concept study for RZ402.
+Added: Termination of EDA and Purchase Agreement
+Added: We entered an Equity Distribution Agreement (“EDA”) with Oppenheimer & Co.
+Added: (“Oppenheimer”) in December 2020 and a purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”) in August 2021.
+Added: In May 2022, we provided notices to Oppenheimer and LPC whereby the EDA and the Purchase Agreement were terminated.
+Added: As a result of these termination notices, no further equity securities are issuable under either agreement.
+Added: Termination of Loan Agreement
+Added: On April 14, 2021, we entered into a $30.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Solar Investment Corp.
+Added: (“SLR”) as collateral agent, and the parties signing the Loan Agreement from time to time as lenders, including SLR in its capacity as a lender.
+Added: On June 30, 2022, we paid off the outstanding loan amount of $15.0 million in full and terminated the Loan Agreement in accordance with its terms.
+Added: In addition to the repayment of principal and accrued interest, we paid (i) a prepayment fee equal to 2.00% of the outstanding principal balance for a total of $300,000, and (ii) a final fee equal to 4.75% of the aggregate amount of the term loans funded for a total of $712,500.
+Added: The terminated Loan Agreement was secured by substantially all of our assets.
+Added: The security interests and liens granted in connection with the terminated Loan Agreement were released on June 30, 2022.
+Added: Headquarters Lease
+Added: In April 2022, we entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate headquarters facility in Redwood City, California.
+Added: The space consists of approximately 9,300 square feet and provides for total base rent payments of approximately $2.9 million through the expected expiration of the lease in July 2027.
+Added: The lease provides for a six-month rent abatement period beginning upon commencement of the lease term which is expected to occur in September 2022

+Added: These stock options and warrants were generally those with the highest exercise prices that were least likely to be exercised.
+Added: Fair value of the stock options and warrants associated with the deficiency were computed on the date the deficiency arose and at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model.
+Added: Key assumptions inherent in this valuation model include the historical volatility of our common stock, the remaining contractual term of the options and warrants, and the market price of our common stock on the respective valuation dates.

+Added: Short-term Liquidity Requirements
+Added: As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $150.4 million and working capital was approximately $149.6 million.
+Added: We have incurred cumulative net losses of $209.2 million since our inception and as a clinical stage company we have not generated any meaningful revenue to date.
+Added: Accordingly, our primary source of liquidity has historically been from the completion of private placements and public offerings of our equity securities, as well as proceeds from the issuance of debt securities.
+Added: For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we received net proceeds from the issuance of equity securities of $165.2 million and $37.5 million, respectively.
+Added: The completion of these equity financings is the primary factor that resulted in our cash and cash equivalents balance of $150.4 million as of June 30, 2022.
+Added: Furthermore, in July 2022 we closed on the Private Placement of shares of common stock that resulted in additional net proceeds of $11.6 million.
+Added: For further information about the key terms and results of our debt and equity financing activities, please refer to the discussion above under the caption Executive Summary and the discussion below under the caption 2021 Underwritten Public Offering and 2021 Registered Direct Offering .
+Added: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we had cash outflows of $16.3 million due to our election to terminate the Loan Agreement discussed above under the caption Executive Summary .
+Added: Upon termination of the Loan Agreement, our only remaining contractual obligation is to pay an exit fee of $600,000 which would be triggered if we entered into certain change of control transactions or similar events defined in the exit fee agreement.
+Added: In April 2022 we entered into a lease agreement for a new corporate headquarters facility in Redwood City, California.
+Added: This lease provides for total base rent payments of approximately $2.9 million through the expected expiration of the lease in July 2027.
+Added: Cash payments related to existing contractual obligations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 include approximately (i) $0.3 million under all operating lease agreements, (ii) a potential milestone payment to XOMA of $5.0 million due upon dosing of the first patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial for RZ358 that we expect will occur in the first half of calendar year 2023, and (iii) a potential milestone payment to ActiveSite of $3.0 million due upon dosing of the first patient in a Phase 2 clinical trial for RZ402 that we expect will occur in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.
+Added: Due to uncertainties in the timing associated with clinical trial activities, it is not possible to accurately determine whether the milestone payments to XOMA and ActiveSite will occur during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
+Added: Based on our cash and cash equivalents balance of $150.4 million as of June 30, 2022, we believe we have adequate capital resources to meet all of our contractual obligations and conduct all planned activities to advance our clinical trials during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
+Added: Long-term Liquidity Requirements
+Added: Our most significant long-term contractual obligations consist of milestone payments up to $35.0 million payable to XOMA and up to $45.5 million payable to ActiveSite, for a total of $80.5 million.
+Added: Of this total, we expect that $5.0 million will be payable to XOMA and $3.0 million will be payable to ActiveSite during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
+Added: Accordingly, the remainder of $72.5 million is considered a long-term liquidity requirement.
+Added: Our current expectations are that we will incur additional milestone payments of $5.0 million payable to XOMA for the year ending June 30, 2024.
+Added: Due to uncertainties in the timing associated with clinical trial activities, there is even greater uncertainty in forecasting the milestone payments to XOMA and ActiveSite during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 and thereafter.
+Added: In addition to our licensing obligations, we also have long-term contractual obligations under existing operating lease agreements of approximately $0.6 million to $0.7 million for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 2024 through 2027.
+Added: Based on our current forecast, we expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our contractual obligations and conduct all planned activities to advance our clinical trials for at least the first half of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
+Added: Therefore, we will need to obtain additional equity or debt financing in order to fund all of our long-term liquidity requirements.
+Added: Presented below is additional discussion about the ongoing requirements pursuant to our license agreements with XOMA and ActiveSite, along with additional information about our ongoing financing activities that impacted our liquidity and capital resources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
