CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”) contains statements reflecting assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events that are intended as “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included or incorporated by reference in this Report, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places, including, but not limited to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These statements represent our reasonable judgment of the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “project” and other words of similar meaning. In particular, these include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the following:

·●

projected operating or financial results, including anticipated cash flows used in operations;

·●

expectations regarding capital expenditures, research and development ~~expense~~expenses and other payments;

·●

our expectation ~~that~~about the ~~disruptive impact~~extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~(“COVID-19”)~~ on our business;

·●

our beliefs and assumptions relating to our liquidity position, including our ability to obtain additional financing;

·●

our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for our pharmaceutical drugs and diagnostics; and

·●

our future dependence on third party manufacturers or strategic partners to manufacture any of our pharmaceutical drugs and diagnostics that receive regulatory approval, and our ability to identify strategic partners and enter into license, co-development, collaboration or similar arrangements.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including, but not limited to, the risks described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 (the ~~“2020~~“2021 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on ~~October 13, 2020.~~

September 15, 2021 and as amended on September 27, 2021.

In addition, there may be other factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from the results referenced in the forward-looking statements, some of which are included elsewhere in this Report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Many of these factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual future results may vary materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this Report are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

~~Special Note About COVID-19~~

We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact. Our primary objectives have remained the same throughout the pandemic: to support the safety of our team members and their families and continue to support our preclinical studies and clinical trials. Currently, with respect to the operation of our facilities, we are closely adhering to applicable guidelines and orders. Essential operations in research and maintenance that occur within our facilities are continuing in accordance with the permissions granted under government ordinances. Across all our locations, we have instituted a temporary work from home policy for all office personnel who do not need to work on site to maintain productivity. At this time, we have not identified a material change to our productivity as a result of these measures, but this could change, particularly if restricted travel, closed schools, and shelter-in-place orders are not removed or significantly eased in the areas in which we operate.

While our financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 were not significantly impacted by COVID-19, we cannot predict the impact of the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic on future results due to a variety of factors, including the continued good health of our employees, the ability of us to maintain operations, access to healthcare facilities and patient willingness to participate in our clinical trials, any further government and/or public actions taken in response to the pandemic and ultimately the length of the pandemic. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, our ability to raise capital, as well as our preclinical studies and clinical trials remains uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted. Any prolonged material disruption of our employees, suppliers, or manufacturing may negatively impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

In August 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split that was subject to stockholder approval at a special meeting that was concluded on October 28, 2019.

On October 7, 2020, the Board of Directors approved reverse stock split whereby fifty shares were exchanged into one newly-issued share of the Company’s $0.001 par value Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), resulting in the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, ~~determination of~~ the fair value of ~~the~~ derivative ~~liability for an authorized share deficiency,~~liabilities, fair value of share-based payments, management’s assessment of going concern, ~~accrued~~and clinical trial ~~liabilities, and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent~~accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The ~~Company's~~Company’s operations may be subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks associated with a clinical stage company, including the potential risk of business failure as discussed further in Note 2, and the future impact of COVID-19 as discussed in Note 8.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in ~~its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2021~~, the Company did not adopt any new accounting policies, however the Company did make the following accounting policy election with respect to accounting policies which are currently applied, as necessary, during the quarter:

~~Derivative Liability for Authorized Share Deficiency~~

As discussed above, the Company filed the Charter Revision that changed the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares effective on February 17, 2021. Upon filing the Charter Revision, the Company had approximately 8,352,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding plus approximately 2,428,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and outstanding warrant agreements. Since authorized shares were limited to 10,000,000 shares, the Company could be required to settle in cash the shares subject to the deficiency of 780,000 shares. Since allItem 8 of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants previously met the criteria for classification in stockholders’ equity, the Company is required to reclassify the fair value related to 780,000 shares from stockholders’ equity to a liability beginning on February 17, 2021.2021 Form 10-K.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company made an accounting policy election to select the stock options and warrants with the earliest issuance dates to compute the estimated fair value of the financial instruments associated with the authorized share deficiency. The result of the election of this accounting policy was to determine the liability using the stock options and warrants that generally had the highest exercise prices that were least likely to be exercised. Fair value of the stock options and warrants associated with the deficiency are computed on the date the deficiency arose and at the end of each reporting period using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Key assumptions inherent in this valuation model include the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock, the remaining contractual term of the options and warrants, and the market price of our Common Stock on the valuation date. Changes in these factors from period to period can result in significant increases and decreases in fair value of the derivative liability, with corresponding gains or losses reflected in our operating results for each reporting period. If the Company’s stockholders subsequently approve a sufficient increase in authorized shares, the Company will no longer include the derivative liability in its balance sheets after the approval date. However, any gains or losses reflected prior to the approval date will not be reversed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

~~Standards~~Standard Required to be Adopted in Future ~~Years.~~Periods. The following accounting standards are not yet effective; management has not completed its evaluation to determine the impact that adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This update adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses. In November 2019, ASU 2016-13 was amended by ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) whereby the effective date for ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies is now required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity). ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, which results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 affects the diluted earnings per share calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments and requires enhanced disclosures about the terms of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 allows entities to use a modified or full retrospective transition method and is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~Early~~The Company plans to early adopt this standard using the full retrospective transition method effective July 1, 2022. The Company does not expect the impact of adoption ~~is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.~~

will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not currently expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

~~Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

Asas discussed in Note ~~8, COVID-19 has resulted in an economic environment that is unfavorable for many businesses to conduct operations~~6 under the captions Equity Distribution Agreement and pursue new debt and equity financings. The U.S. economy has been adversely affected by mass quarantines and government mandated stay-in-place orders to halt the spread of the virus. These orders are frequently changing and contain inherent uncertainty relative to their future application, creating considerable uncertainty surrounding the recovery period for the U.S. economy. The long-term effects on the Company are expected to result in higher costs in order to comply with safeguards to protect patients and staff engaged in clinical activities, and extended periods of time may be required to complete clinical trials. The current economic environment and financial market volatility is expected to make it more challenging for the Company to obtain funding for its clinical programs in the future.LPC Purchase Agreement.

Management believes the Company’s ~~existing~~unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance of ~~$32.0~~$77.4 million ~~combined with the debt financing proceeds of $15.0 million received in April 2021,~~ will be adequate to carry out currently planned activities at least through ~~June 30, 2022.~~February 2023.

(“ActiveSite”) pursuant to which the Company acquired the rights to ActiveSite’s Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitor program (“PKI Portfolio”). The Company is initially using the PKI Portfolio to develop an oral PKI therapeutic for diabetic macular edema (RZ402) and may use the PKI Portfolio to develop other therapeutics for different indications.

~~Note 5~~ — ~~Employee termination benefits~~

In ~~March 2021,~~addition, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents became subject to a blocked account control agreement (“BACA”) in favor of the Lenders whereby a cash balance of at least $5.0 million was required beginning on December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the Company ~~entered into~~has classified $5.0 million as a severance agreement with an officer of the Company that provides for an aggregate of $0.2 million paid in monthly installments from March 2021 through September 2021. The severance agreement also resulted in the modification of certain stock options that were permitted to continue vesting through September 2021, whereby an aggregate of 46,250 stock options exercisable at a weighted average price of $18.17 will now expire in December 2021. Absent the modification, stock options for an aggregate of 38,750 vested shares would have expired in June 2021 and stock options for 7,500 never would have vested. The Company accounted for the modification of the original awards, whereby compensation cost was remeasured on the date of the modification that resulted in an increase in fair value of the modified awards for $0.1 million. Accordingly, an aggregate charge of $0.3 million related to severance costs and the modification of stock options is included in compensation expense under general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021.

~~For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021, activity affecting the accrued liability for severance benefits is summarized as follows (in thousands):~~

Accrued severance, beginning of period $ -
Severance expense incurred 201
Cash payments (31 )

Accrued severance, end of period $ 170
~~The liability for accrued severance costs is included in accrued compensation and benefits~~long-term restricted cash asset in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of ~~March~~December 31, 2021. In the event of a default under the Loan Agreement, the BACA would enable the Lenders to prevent the release of funds from the Company’s cash accounts.
Outstanding borrowings under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal to (a) 8.75% per annum plus (b) the greater of (i) the rate per annum published by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. (“IEBA”) for a term of one month and (ii) 0.12% per annum. For the period from April 14, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the IEBA rate for a term of one month was approximately 0.12% per annum. Therefore, the contractual rate was 8.87% as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The Company is permitted to make interest-only payments on the term A loan through May 1, 2023. At the Company’s request, the interest-only period can be extended until May 1, 2024, if the Company obtains at least $70.0 million of equity or subordinated debt financing by September 2022 and no event of default shall have occurred. The Company will be required to make monthly payments of principal and interest commencing at the end of the interest-only period.
~~Note 6~~ The Company is obligated to pay the Lenders (i) a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of 1.00% of the term A loan that was funded (the “Facility Fee”), and (ii) a final fee equal to 4.75% of the aggregate amount of the term A loan that was funded (the “Final Fee”). As of December 31, 2021, the Company incurred debt discounts for an aggregate of $1.7 million that consisted of $0.4 million for financial advisory and legal fees, an aggregate of $0.9 million for the Facility Fee and the Final Fee, and an aggregate of $0.4 million as an exit fee as discussed below. The Final Fee is payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) the acceleration of the term loans, and (iii) the prepayment of the term loans. The total debt discount of $1.7 million related to the term A loan is being accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method that results in an overall current effective interest rate of 12.6% as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.
Concurrently with the execution of the Loan Agreement, the Company entered into an exit fee agreement (the “Exit Fee Agreement”) that provides for a fee of 4.00% of the funded principal balance of each term loan in the event certain transactions (defined as “Exit Events”) occur prior to April 13, 2031. Exit Events include, but are not limited to, sales of substantially all assets, certain mergers, change of control transactions, and issuances of common stock that result in new investors owning more than 35% of the Company’s shares. As of April 14, 2021, the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds from the term A loan to recognize a liability for the fair value of this embedded derivative for approximately $354,000. Fair value was determined based on the Company’s strategic corporate development plans and management has performed a detailed evaluation of the different types of Exit Events that could occur and using a discounted rate equivalent to the effective rate for the term A loan. Fair value of this embedded derivative is assessed at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized as a nonoperating gain or loss.
The Company has the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loans. In the event of a voluntary or mandatory prepayment prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will incur a prepayment fee ranging from 1.00% to 3.00% of the outstanding principal balance.
The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. This security interest will not be released until all obligations are repaid, including the requirement to pay an Exit Fee of $0.6 million for certain fundamental transactions that may occur through April 13, 2031. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and also includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, and a default upon the occurrence of a material adverse change affecting the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a default interest rate of an additional 5.00% per annum may be applied to the outstanding loan balance, and the Lenders may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and exercise all of their rights and remedies as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

Underwritten Public Offering

~~Derivative Liability for Authorized Share Deficiency~~

~~As discussed in Note 1,~~On October 12, 2021, the Company ~~filed~~entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., as representative of the ~~Charter Revision on February 17,~~underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”) for the planned issuance and sale of equity securities in an underwritten public offering (the “Underwritten Offering”). On October 15, 2021, closing occurred for the Underwritten Offering resulting in the issuance of (i) 6,030,847 shares of common stock at $6.50 per share for gross proceeds of $39.2 million, and (ii) 1,661,461 pre-funded warrants to ~~change~~purchase 1,661,461 shares of common stock at an issuance price of $6.49 per warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) for gross proceeds of $10.8 million. The aggregate gross proceeds from the ~~number~~Underwritten Offering amounted to $50.0 million, excluding the Underwriters’ Option discussed below, and before deductions for underwriting discounts and commissions of ~~authorized~~6.0% of the gross proceeds and other offering costs of approximately $0.3 million. After deducting total offering costs of $3.3 million, the net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering amounted to approximately $46.7 million.

The Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,153,845 shares of its common stock in the Underwritten Offering at a public offering price of $6.50 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Underwriters’ Option”). In November 2021, the Underwriters’ Option was partially exercised for 116,266 shares resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $0.8 million.

In connection with the Underwritten Offering, certain of the Company’s officers and directors agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any common stock held by them through January 10, 2022 (the “Lock-Up Period”). In addition, during the Lock-Up Period the Company agreed to refrain from selling any shares of its common stock under the LPC Purchase Agreement or the EDA discussed below.

Pre-Funded Warrants

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which is subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the common stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable at any time and from time to time after issuance with no stated expiration date. In the event of certain corporate transactions, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such transaction. The Pre-Funded Warrants do not entitle the holders thereof to any voting rights or any of the other rights or privileges to which holders of Common Stock are entitled.

The gross proceeds of $10.8 million received from ~~500,000,000 shares~~issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants was recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital. In accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement, holders of the outstanding warrants are not entitled to ~~10,000,000 shares.~~exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrant if, upon exercise of such portion of the warrant, the holder’s aggregate ownership of the Company’s common stock or the combined voting power beneficially owned by such holder would exceed a designated percentage elected by the holder ranging from 4.99% to 19.99%, after giving effect to the exercise (the “Maximum Ownership Percentage”). Upon ~~filing the Charter Revision,~~at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, ~~had approximately 8,352,000~~any warrant holder may elect to increase or decrease the Maximum Ownership Percentage to any other percentage not to exceed 19.99%. As of December 31, 2021, no shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised.

Registered Direct Offering

Concurrently with the Underwritten Offering, a major shareholder (the “Purchaser”) that is affiliated with a member of ~~Common Stock issued and outstanding, plus approximately 2,428,000 shares were required to be reserved~~our Board of Directors entered into a subscription agreement for ~~issuance~~a registered direct offering, pursuant to which the ~~Company’s stock option plans and outstanding warrant agreements. Since~~Company agreed to sell to the Charter Revision reduced authorized shares to 10,000,000 shares, a deficiency of approximately 780,000 shares existed as of February 17, 2021. As a result of this deficiency, it was not possible to issue up toPurchaser an aggregate of ~~780,000~~769,231 shares of Common Stock under outstanding stock options and warrants as of February 17, 2021. Accordingly, the Company could be required to settle in cash for the fair value of the 780,000 shares subject to this deficiency, which requires liability classification for these instruments beginning on February 17, 2021.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company made an accounting policy election to select the stock options and warrant agreements with the earliest issuance dates to compute the estimated fair value of the financial instruments associated with the authorized share deficiency. These stock options and warrants were generally those with the highest exercise prices that were least likely to be exercised. The fair value of such stock options and warrants is accounted for as a derivative liability that amounted to $3.6 million as of February 17, 2021. As a result of the expiration of stock options for approximately 40,000 shares in March 2021, the authorized share deficiency was reduced to approximately 740,000 as of March 31, 2021. Primarily due to the reduction in the market price of the Company’s ~~Common Stock,~~common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share. The closing for the fair value of stock options and warrants for an aggregate of 740,000 shares amounted to $1.8 million as of March 31, 2021. Presented below is a summary of the derivative liability associated with stock options and warrants as of February 17,registered direct offering occurred on October 27, 2021, ~~and March 31, 2021 (in thousands, expect per share amounts):~~

This amount is expected to be recognized over a ~~remaining~~ weighted average period of ~~1.6~~2.4 years.
Warrants
In ~~July 2019,~~connection with the Underwritten Offering discussed in Note 6, the Company granted employee stock options for approximately 0.2 million shares that commence vesting upon the achievement of market, performance and service conditions (“Hybrid Options”). Total unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, for the Hybrid Options amountedissued 1,661,461 Pre-Funded Warrants to approximately $1.9 million as of November 2, 2020. The Hybrid Options will become exercisable when all of the following have occurred: (i) the option recipient has been employed by the Company for at least one year, (ii) the Company’spurchase 1,661,461 shares of ~~Common Stock have been listed~~common stock at an issuance price of $6.49 per warrant for ~~trading on a national stock exchange, and (iii) such date no later than July 31, 2023, when~~gross proceeds of $10.8 million. The Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised at any time by paying the ~~Company’s closing stock~~exercise price ~~exceeds $29.00~~of $0.01 per share, for 20 trading days in any consecutive 30-day period. On November 3, 2020, the performance condition to obtain a listing on a national stock exchange was achieved, when the Company’s shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Prior to this date, no compensation cost had been recognized for the Hybrid Options as it was not considered probable that the performance condition would be achieved. Upon achievement of the performance condition, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of compensation cost of approximately $0.5 million for the period from the grant date through November 3, 2020. The remainder of the unrecognized compensation relatedsubject to the ~~Hybrid Options of approximately $1.4 million, is being recognized ratably through July 2024 when~~terms discussed in Note 6.
In addition, the Hybrid Options are expected to be fully vested. As of March 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation cost, net of forfeitures, for the Hybrid Options amounted to approximately $1.2 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average term of 3.3 years.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

COVID-19

~~In December 2019,~~The current COVID-19 ~~was reported~~pandemic, which is impacting worldwide economic activity, poses risks that the Company or its employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to ~~have surfaced~~shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, including its clinical trials and financial condition, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in ~~Wuhan, China,~~the United States and ~~by March 2020~~other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. As COVID-19 continues to spread around the globe, including the spread of more contagious and virulent variants, we could experience disruptions, including delays or difficulties in enrolling patients in our clinical trials, delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, interruption of key clinical trial activities, delays in clinical sites receiving the ~~virus had resulted~~supplies and materials needed to conduct our clinical trials, and delays in necessary interactions with local regulatory authorities. COVID-19 may also impact the Company’s ability to raise additional capital on a ~~world-wide pandemic.~~timely basis or at all, which could negatively impact long-term liquidity.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the LPC Purchase Agreement discussed in Note 6, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement whereby it agreed to register all the shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement. The ~~U.S. economy has been adversely affected by mass quarantines~~Company filed a prospectus supplement to meet this obligation in August 2021 and ~~government mandated stay-in-place orders~~is required to ~~halt~~maintain the ~~spread~~effectiveness of the ~~virus. While these orders are being lifted gradually,~~prospectus supplement on a full recovery of the U.S. economy may not occur until 2021 or later. Federal and state governments in the U.S. have approved funding for many programs that may provide financial assistance to individuals and businesses. The Company intends to pursue all material types of government assistance that it may be entitled to. However, no assurance can be provided that the Company will qualify and realize any material benefits from such assistance.reasonable best-efforts basis.

COVID-19 has resulted in an economic environment that is unfavorable for many businesses to pursue new equity financings. Accordingly, the current economic environment is expected to present greater challenges for the Company to obtain additional funding for its clinical programs on terms that are acceptable to the Company’s Board of Directors.

In February 2020, Rezolute announced the initiation of its Phase 2b trial in congenital hyperinsulinism. New site initiation and enrollment resumed during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020. However, similar to many other clinical studies conducted by other companies throughout the world, effects of the pandemic remain uncertain, and no guarantees can be made that hold in future site initiation or enrollment will not be encountered again. There are no mitigation strategies we can employ to help avoid potential timeline delays should there be an extended enrollment pause due to COVID-19. The long-term effects of COVID-19 are expected to require additional safeguards to protect patients and staff engaged in clinical activities, and extended periods of time required to complete clinical trials, both of which are expected to result in higher overall costs. While the current business disruption is expected to be temporary, the long-term financial impact and the duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2021, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. At each reporting period, the Company evaluates known claims to determine whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

~~Note~~NOTE 9 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

~~Related Party Licensing Agreement~~

~~Master Services Agreement~~

Effective July 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with H&G whereby the Company agreed to assist H&G in an evaluation of their long-acting growth hormone program referred to as GX-H9. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company billed H&G for employee services of approximately $0.1 million and reimbursable expenses incurred with unrelated parties of approximately $0.1 million. Amounts billed under the MSA for employee services are reflected as a reduction of research and development compensation costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. No amounts were billed under the MSA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021.

~~Note~~NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated ~~annual~~annualized effective income tax rate applied to ~~year-to-date operating results, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring~~the respective quarterly periods, adjusted for discrete tax items ~~which are recorded~~ in the ~~interim period.~~period in which they occur. The computation of the ~~annual~~annualized estimated effective tax rate atfor each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating results for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

For the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any income tax benefit due to a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. The Company did not have any material changes to its conclusions regarding valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets or uncertain tax positions for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and 2020.

~~Note~~NOTE 11 — ~~EARNINGS~~NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares and Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding during the ~~period.~~ period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. The Pre-Funded Warrants are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price is negligible and the Pre-Funded Warrants are fully vested and exercisable. Accordingly, weighted average shares outstanding is computed as follows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

~~Note~~NOTE 12 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

~~Rezolute, Inc.~~
~~Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2—Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The Company’s embedded derivative liability is classified under Level 3 of the hierarchy and is required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on management’s assessment of the probability and timing of occurrence

Except for the embedded derivative liability, the Company did not have any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.
Due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximated their carrying values as of ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and June 30, ~~2020. The derivative liability~~2021. Due to the unique terms of the Loan Agreement discussed in Note 65, it was ~~required to be~~ measured on a non-recurring basis at fair value ~~on a recurring basis beginning on February 17, 2021. Please refer to Note 6 for the key~~using Level 3 inputs ~~used for~~when it was entered into in April 2021. Due to the ~~valuation~~lack of ~~this derivative liability~~observable inputs, the Company was unable to determine fair value of the Loan Agreement as of ~~February 17, 2021 and March~~December 31, 2021. ~~The Company did not have any assets or other liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020.~~
The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the ~~three and nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any transfers of its assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Significant Concentrations
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and ~~cash equivalents.~~restricted cash. The Company maintains its cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents and restricted cash at high-quality financial institutions. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2021, cash deposits have exceeded the amount of federal insurance provided on such deposits. As of ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents and restricted cash with a single financial institution with an aggregate balance of ~~$32.0~~$82.4 million and ~~$10.0~~$41.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 13 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As noted in Note 13 — ~~SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~
~~Loan Agreement~~
~~On April 14, 2021,~~2 and Note 4, in January 2022, the Company ~~entered into~~dosed the last patient in their Phase 2b clinical trial for RZ358. This dosing triggered a ~~$30.0 million Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with SLR Investment Corp. and certain other lenders (the “Lenders”). The Lenders agreed~~payment due to loan up to $30.0 million in three tranches consisting of (i) a $15.0 million term A loan that was funded on April 14, 2021, (ii) a $7.5 million term B loan to be funded upon request by the Company no later than January 25, 2022, and (iii) a $7.5 million term C loan to be funded upon request by the Company no later than September 25, 2022. Funding of the term B loan is subject to the Company’s ability to obtain at least $35 million of equity or subordinated debt financing by January 2022 and the achievement of certain clinical milestones related to RZ358 and RZ402. Funding of the term C loan is subject to the Company’s ability to meet the conditions for funding the term B loan, plus obtaining an additional $35 million of equity or subordinated debt financing by September 2022 and the achievement of certain additional clinical milestones related to RZ358 and RZ402. Each term loan has a maturity date of April 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents became subject to a blocked account control agreement (“BACA”) in favor of the Lenders whereby a cash balance of at least $5.0 million must be maintained beginning on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, and (ii) the date the term B loan is funded. In the event of a default under the Loan Agreement, the BACA would enable the Lenders to prevent the release of funds from the Company’s cash accounts.
Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a floating rate equal to (a) 8.75% per annum plus (b) the greater of (i) the rate per annum published by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. (“IEBA”) for a term of one month and (ii) 0.12% per annum. As of April 14, 2021, the IEBA rate for a term of one month was approximately 0.12% per annum. Therefore, the contractual rate at inception was 8.87%. The Company is permitted to make interest-only payments on each term loan through May 1, 2023. At the Company’s request, the interest-only period can be extended until May 1, 2024, if the Company ~~obtains at least $70.0 million of equity or subordinated debt financing by September 2022 and no event of default shall have occurred. The Company will be required to make~~ ~~monthly payments of principal and interest commencing at the end of the interest-only period of the term loans.~~
~~The Company is obligated to pay the Lenders (i) a non-refundable facility fee~~Xoma in the amount of ~~1.00% of each term loan that is funded (the “Facility Fee”), and (ii) a final fee equal to 4.75%~~$2.0 million within 30 days of the ~~aggregate amount~~event.

Table of the term loans funded (the “Final Fee”). At the closing on April 14, 2021, the Company incurred debt discounts for an aggregate of $1.4 million that consisted of $0.5 million for financial advisory and legal fees, and $0.9 million for the Facility Fee and Final Fee related to the term A loan. Final Fees are payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) the maturity date, (ii) the acceleration of the term loans, and (iii) the prepayment of the term loans. The total debt discount of $1.4 million related to the term A loan will be accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method.Contents

~~Rezolute, Inc.~~

~~Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

Concurrently with the execution of the Loan Agreement, the Company entered into an exit fee agreement (the “Exit Fee Agreement”) that provides for a fee of 4.00% of the funded principal balance of each term loan in the event certain transactions (defined as “Exit Events”) occur prior to April 13, 2031. Exit Events include, but are not limited to, sales of substantially all assets, certain mergers, change of control transactions, and issuances of Common Stock that result in new investors owning more than 35% of the Company’s shares. If the Company determines that it is probable that an Exit Event will occur over the ten-year term of the Exit Fee Agreement, a liability will be recognized, and the corresponding fee will be accounted for as an additional debt discount.

The Company has the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loans. In the event of a voluntary or mandatory prepayment prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will incur a prepayment fee ranging from 1.00% to 3.00% of the outstanding principal balance.

The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all the Company’s assets, including its intellectual property. The Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and also includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, and a default upon the occurrence of a material adverse change affecting the Company. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a default interest rate of an additional 5.00% per annum may be applied to the outstanding loan balance, and the Lenders may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and exercise all their rights and remedies as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Certain figures, such as interest rates and other percentages included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding. As used in the discussion below, “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to Rezolute, Inc.
Recent Developments
On October ~~9, 2020,~~12, 2021, we ~~completed a private placement~~entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co., Inc., as representative of the underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”) for the planned issuance and sale of equity securities ~~that resulted~~ in ~~net proceeds~~an underwritten public offering (the “Underwritten Offering”). On October 15, 2021, the initial closing occurred for the Underwritten Offering resulting in the issuance of ~~approximately $37.5 million.~~ The completion of this private placement triggered the repayment of our obligations to Xoma with a remaining balance due of $1.4 million as of September 30, 2020. Effective October 9, 2020, we implemented a reverse stock split where fifty shares of Common Stock outstanding were exchanged into one newly-issued share of our $0.001 par value Common Stock. On November 3, 2020, we obtained approval from Nasdaq to have our(i) 6,030,847 shares of common stock ~~listed on~~at $6.50 per share for gross proceeds of $39.2 million, and (ii) 1,661,461 pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,661,461 shares of common stock at an issuance price of $6.49 per warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) for gross proceeds of $10.8 million. In November 2021, the ~~Nasdaq Capital Market.~~Underwriters partially exercised their option for the purchase of an additional 116,266 shares resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $0.8 million. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Underwritten Offering, including the overallotment option, amounted to $50.8 million. We paid underwriting discounts and commissions of 6.0% of the gross proceeds for a total of approximately $3.0 million and other offering costs amounted to $0.5 million. After deduction of all offering costs, the net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering amounted to approximately $47.3 million.
~~In February 2021, we filed a certificate of correction~~Concurrently with the ~~State of Delaware~~Underwritten Offering, a major shareholder (the “Purchaser”) that ~~revised the number~~is affiliated with a member of our ~~authorized shares~~Board of Common Stock from 500,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares, which resulted in a deficiency of 780,000 shares in the number of authorized shares that would be required if all of our stock options and warrants were exercised. We presently have stock options and warrants outstanding for an aggregate of approximately 2.4 million shares and substantially all of these instruments are out-of-the-money by a significant amount whereby the likelihood of any of the shares being exercised is remote. However, since it is possible that we could be required to settle the deficiency for 780,000 shares in cash, we recognized a liability of $3.6 million for the fair value of stock options and warrants that comprise the deficiency as of February 17, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of this liability amounted to $1.8 million. If our stockholders approve the proposed increase to 40,000,000 authorized shares at a meeting scheduled for May 26, 2021, the deficiency will be eliminated resulting in the elimination of the liability since cash settlement would no longer be required.
~~In December 2020, we~~Directors entered into ~~an Equity Distribution Agreement (“EDA”),~~a subscription agreement for a registered direct offering, pursuant to which we ~~may offer and~~agreed to sell ~~from time~~ to ~~time,~~the Purchaser an aggregate of 769,231 shares of ~~the Company’s~~our common stock ~~par value $0.001~~at a purchase price of $6.50 per share ~~having an aggregate offering price~~(the “Registered Direct Offering”). The closing for the Registered Direct Offering occurred on October 27, 2021 and resulted in gross proceeds of ~~up to $50.0~~$5.0 million. Since we don’t currently have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock, we are presently unable to sell any shares pursuant to the EDA. However, if our stockholders approve an increase in authorized shares at a meeting scheduled for May 26, 2021, we would be able to begin selling shares under the EDA.
~~In April 2021, we entered into a~~ Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with SLR Investment Corp. and certain other lenders (the “Lenders”) that provides for total borrowings up to $30.0 million in three tranches. The initial tranche of funding for $15.0 million was received in April 2021. Under the Loan Agreement, we are required to maintain a restricted cash balance of at least $5.0 million beginning no later than December 31, 2021. The second tranche for $7.5 million is available upon our request by January 2022, and the third tranche for $7.5 million term is available upon our request by September 2022. Access to the additional borrowings under the second and third tranches is subject to ~~our ability~~ ~~by the requested funding date~~ ~~to raise cumulative equity or subordinated debt financing of $35.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively.~~ ~~We are permitted to make interest-only payments on each term loan at least through May 1, 2023, and the maturity date is on April 1, 2026.~~

Special Note About COVID-19
We have been actively monitoring the COVID-19 ~~situation~~pandemic and its ~~impact.~~impact on our business activities. Our primary objectives have remained the same throughout the pandemic: to support the safety of our team members and their families and continue to support our preclinical studies and clinical ~~trials~~.trials. Currently, with respect to the operation of our facilities, we are closely adhering to applicable guidelines and orders. Essential operations in research and maintenance that occur within our facilities are continuing in accordance with the permissions granted under government ordinances.

While our financial results for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 were not significantly impacted by COVID-19, we cannot predict the impact of the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic on future results due to a variety of factors, including the ongoing challenges associated with the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants of the coronavirus, such as the Delta and Omicron variants, resurgences in the number and rates of infection, the continued good health of our employees, the ability of us to maintain operations, access to healthcare facilities and patient willingness to participate in our clinical trials, any further government and/or public actions taken in response to the pandemic, and ultimately the length of the pandemic. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, our ability to raise capital, ~~as well as~~ our preclinical studies and clinical ~~trials remains~~trial timeliness remain uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted. Any prolonged material disruption of our employees, suppliers, or manufacturing may negatively impact our ~~consolidated~~ financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

Summary of Clinical Assets

Our lead clinical asset, RZ358, is an antibody therapy in Phase 2b development as a potential treatment for congenital hyperinsulinism (“~~CHI”~~HI”), an ultra-rare pediatric genetic disorder. In February 2020, we announced the initiation of the RZ358-606 Phase 2b study (“~~RIZE”~~RIZE”) globally at multiple study centers. Prior to COVID-19, we had planned to complete the RIZE study by the middle of calendar year 2021. In March 2020, we paused the RIZE study as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the COVID-19 pandemic ~~abates~~began to abate in different regions, we ~~are resuming~~resumed clinical activities including trial site initiations and ~~as of January 2021, we have recommenced~~ patient enrollment. Subject to COVID-19 conditions, we ~~believe we will be able~~are expecting to ~~complete the RIZE study~~report top-line results in the ~~second~~first quarter of calendar year 2022.

In addition, during the first half of calendar year ~~2021.~~

2020 we had positive interactions with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) whereby we were granted Rare Pediatric Disease (“RPD”) designation for RZ358, which qualified us to receive a priority review voucher (“PRV”) upon marketing approval of the drug in congenital HI. Such a voucher could be redeemed to receive a priority review of a subsequent marketing application for any drug candidate in any disease indication. Further, we submitted the RIZE protocol to FDA, which allowed us to expand the study to clinical sites in the United States.

Our second clinical asset, RZ402, is a selective and potent plasma kallikrein inhibitor ~~(PKI)~~(“PKI”) being developed as a potential oral therapy for the chronic treatment of diabetic macular edema ~~(DME)~~(“DME”). RZ402 is currently in Phase 1 development. In January 2021, we dosed the first subject in the Phase 1a study, and in May 2021 we announced positive topline results whereby single dose oral administration of RZ402 resulted in plasma concentrations that substantially exceeded target pharmacologically-active drug levels, demonstrating the potential for once daily dosing. RZ402 was generally safe and well-tolerated at all doses tested, without dose-limiting toxicities. ~~The favorable results of~~In August 2021, we announced the ~~Phase 1a study support our plans for a~~initiation in the Phase 1b multiple-ascending dose (“MAD”) study ~~that is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2021~~ and planned to be completed byin the first quarter of calendar year 2022. If favorable results are also obtained in the Phase 1b study, we expect to advance developmental activities toward a Phase 22a proof-of-concept study during the second half of calendar year 2022.

~~CHI~~Congenital HI is an ultra-rare pediatric genetic disorder characterized by excessive production of insulin by the pancreas. If untreated, the elevated insulin levels in these patients can induce extreme hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) events, increasing the risk of neurological and developmental complications, including persistent feeding problems, learning disabilities, recurrent seizures, brain damage or even death. There are no FDA approved therapies for ~~CHI~~congenital HI, and the current standard of care treatments are suboptimal. In some cases, pancreatic surgery is a treatment option, but this approach is invasive and may require repeat surgeries.

~~Rezolute’s~~Our lead candidate, RZ358, is an intravenously administered human monoclonal antibody that binds to a unique site (allosteric) on the insulin receptor throughout the body, such as in the liver, fat, and muscle. The antibody modifies ~~insulin's~~insulin’s binding and signaling to maintain glucose levels in a normal range, which counteracts the effects of elevated insulin in the body. Therefore, we believe that RZ358 is ideally suited as a potential therapy for conditions characterized by excessive insulin levels, and it is being developed to treat the hyperinsulinism and low blood sugar characteristic of diseases such as ~~CHI.~~congenital HI. As RZ358 acts downstream from the beta cells, it has the potential to be universally effective at treating ~~CHI~~congenital HI caused by any of the underlying genetic defects.

RZ358 received RPD designation in the United States as well as Orphan Drug Designation in both the ~~U.S.~~United States and the European ~~Union as well as Pediatric Rare Disease Designation in the U.S.~~Union. RZ358 is currently in Phase 2b development (the RIZE study, RZ358-606). The RIZE study is a multi-center, open-label, repeat-dose Phase 2b study of RZ358 in four sequential dosing cohorts of patients with ~~CHI~~congenital HI, who are at least two years old, and have residual low blood sugar (<70 mg/dL) that is inadequately controlled on existing therapies. In addition to safety and pharmacokinetic evaluations, continuous glucose monitoring (“~~CGM”~~CGM”) and self-monitored blood glucose will be utilized to evaluate several glycemic efficacy endpoints. The primary endpoint is the time within a glucose target range of 70-180 mg/dL by CGM after week 8 of treatment compared to baseline.

RZ402

~~Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)~~DME is a vascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness in the ~~U.S.~~United States. and elsewhere. Chronic exposure to high blood sugar levels can lead to inflammation, cell damage, and the breakdown of blood vessel walls. Specifically, in DME, blood vessels behind the back of the eye become porous and permeable leading to the unwanted infiltration of fluid into the macula. This fluid leakage creates distorted vision, and if left untreated could result in blindness.

Table of Contents

Currently available treatments for DME involve frequent burdensome anti-vascular growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections into the eye or invasive laser surgery. RZ402 is designed to be a once daily oral therapy for the treatment of DME. Unlike the anti-VEGF therapies, RZ402 targets the Kallikrein–Kinin System in order to address inflammation and vascular leakage. We believe that systemic exposure through oral delivery is critical to target the microvasculature behind the back of the eye. Further, as an oral therapy, RZ402 has the potential to substantially change the therapeutic paradigm for patients suffering with DME by providing a convenient, self-administered treatment option to encourage patients to initiate therapy sooner, adhere to prescribed treatment guidelines, and improve overall outcomes.

In January 2021, we dosed the first subject in the Phase 1a study, and in May 2021, we announced positive topline results whereby single dose oral administration of RZ402 resulted in plasma concentrations that substantially exceeded target pharmacologically-active drug levels, demonstrating the potential for once daily dosing. RZ402 was generally safe and well-tolerated at all doses tested, without dose-limiting toxicities. The favorable results of the Phase 1a study support our plans for a Phase 1b multiple-ascending dose study that is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2021 and to be completed by the first quarter of 2022. If favorable results are also obtained in the Phase 1b study, we expect to advance developmental activities toward a Phase 2 study during the second half of calendar year 2022.

Factors Impacting our Results of Operations

We have not generated any revenues since our inception in March 2010. Since inception, we have engaged in organizational activities, conducted private placements, and the Underwritten Offering to raise additional capital. During 2019 we changed our strategy to a licensing model to focus on research and development activities for our pipeline of product candidates.

Due to the time required to conduct clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for ~~any~~all of our product candidates, we anticipate it will be ~~some time~~several years before we generate substantial revenues, if ever. We expect to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future; therefore, we expect to continue efforts to raise additional capital to maintain our current operating plans beyond the next year. We cannot ~~assure you~~provide assurance that we will ~~secure such~~continue to be successful in securing adequate financing or that it will be adequate for the long-term execution of our business strategy. Even if we obtain additional financing, it may be costly and may require us to agree to covenants or other provisions that will favor new investors over our existing ~~stockholders.~~

Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations

Research and development expenses. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses ~~(“R&D”)~~ consist primarily of compensation and benefits for our personnel engaged in R&D activities, clinical trial costs, licensing costs, and ~~consultants~~consulting and outside services. Our ~~research and development~~R&D compensation costs include an allocable portion of our cash and ~~stock-based~~share-based compensation, employee benefits, and consulting costs related to personnel engaged in the design and development of product candidates and other scientific research projects. We also allocate a portion of our facilities and overhead costs based on the personnel and other resources devoted to R&D activities.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses ~~(“G&A”)~~ consist primarily of (i) an allocable portion of our cash and ~~stock-based~~share-based compensation and employee benefits related to personnel engaged in our administrative, finance, accounting, and executive functions, and (ii) an allocable portion of our facilities and overhead costs related to such personnel. G&A expenses also include travel, legal, auditing, consulting, investor relations and other costs primarily related to our status as a public company.

Interest expense. The components of interest expense include the amount of interest payable in cash at the stated interest rate, and accretion of debt discounts and issuance costs (“DDIC”) using the effective interest method. DDIC arises from the issuance of debt instruments and other related contracts or agreements which possess certain terms and conditions resulting in additional financing costs arising from origination, exit and final fees, and other incremental and direct costs incurred to consummate the financing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Overview

The discussion herein is based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These items are monitored and analyzed for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on 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. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

With respect to our significant accounting policies that are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting for Complex Financings

~~Derivative Liability~~

~~The derivative liability relates~~In order to ~~a deficiency~~account for complex financing transactions, we are required to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates to determine the appropriate amounts reported in our ~~authorized shares~~consolidated financial statements. These financing transactions typically involve entering into several distinct legal agreements, whereby we are required to identify and account for each freestanding financial instrument separately. The freestanding financial instruments may be classified as ~~discussed above under~~debt, temporary equity or permanent equity instruments depending on the ~~caption~~ ~~Recent Developments~~~~. The derivative liability is adjusted to fair value at the end~~results of ~~each reporting period with changes in fair value reflected as a gain or loss in~~ our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We made an accounting policy election to select the stock options and warrant agreements with the earliest issuance dates to compute the estimated fair valueevaluation. In addition, we evaluate if any of the financial instruments ~~associated with the authorized share deficiency. These stock options and warrants were generally those with the highest exercise prices~~contain embedded features that ~~were least likely~~are required to be ~~exercised.~~ ~~Fair~~accounted for as derivatives at fair value. Each freestanding financial instrument is required to be recognized at fair value on the closing date of the financing. The fair value of ~~the stock options and~~ warrants ~~associated with the deficiency are computed on the date the deficiency arose and at the end of each reporting period~~is generally determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“~~BSM”~~BSM”) ~~option-pricing model. Key assumptions inherent in this~~ valuation model ~~include~~and the ~~historical volatility~~fair value of ~~our~~ Common Stock is based on the ~~remaining contractual term of the options and warrants, and the market~~trading price of our ~~Common Stock~~shares on the ~~valuation~~closing date. ~~Changes in these factors from period to period can result in significant increases and decreases in~~

For financial instruments classified as debt, a discount is recognized if the stated principal balance exceeds the initial allocation of fair value as of the ~~derivative liability, with corresponding gains or losses reflected~~closing date. This discount is accreted to interest expense using the interest method that results in ~~our operating results for each reporting period. If our stockholders subsequently approve an increase in our authorized shares, we will no longer include~~recognition of interest expense at a fixed rate through the ~~derivative liability in our balance sheets after the approval~~expected maturity date. ~~However, any gains or losses reflected prior to the approval date will not be reversed.~~

~~Stock-Based~~Share-Based Compensation Expense

We measure the fair value of services received in exchange for all stock options granted based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date. We compute the fair value of stock options with time-based vesting using the BSM option-pricing model and recognize the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award. For awards ~~granted which~~that contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. We recognize the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for ~~stock-based~~share-based compensation.

~~We have granted~~ For stock options ~~with vesting~~ that are voluntarily surrendered by employees, all unrecognized compensation is ~~dependent on achieving certain market, performance and service conditions (“Hybrid Options”). For purposes of recognizing compensation cost, we determine~~immediately recognized in the ~~requisite service~~ period as the longest of the derived, implicit and explicit vesting periods for each of the market, performance and service conditions, respectively. Due to achievement of the performance condition, we began recognizing compensation cost using the grant date fair value in November 2020 and continuing through the end of the requisite service period. Determination of the requisite service period of the Hybrid Options was based on the date that the performance condition was achieved. If the Hybrid Options do not ultimately become exercisable due to the option holders’ failure to achieve the requisite service period, any previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed.options are cancelled.

Research and Development

R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets related to in-licensing costs under license agreements with third parties are charged to expense unless we are able to determine that the licensing rights have an alternative future use in other R&D projects or otherwise.

Table of Contents

Clinical Trial Accruals

Clinical trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. We accrue and recognize expenses for clinical trial activities performed by third parties based upon estimates of the percentage of work completed over the life of the individual study in accordance with agreements established with clinical research organizations and clinical trial sites. We determine the estimates through discussions with internal clinical personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of trials or services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used or rendered in future R&D activities, are deferred and recognized as expense in the period that the related goods are delivered, or services are performed.

~~Presented below is a discussion of the key factors that resulted in changes in our results of operations for these periods.~~
Revenue. As a clinical stage company, we did not generate any revenue for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2021 and 2020. We are at an early stage of development as a proprietary product specialty pharmaceutical company, and we do not currently have any commercial products. Our existing product candidates will require extensive additional clinical evaluation, regulatory review, significant marketing efforts and substantial investment before they generate any revenues. We do not expect to be able to market any of our product candidates for several years.

~~Compensation~~The increase in R&D expenses of $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to increases in clinical trial costs of approximately $3.3 million for RZ358 and ~~benefits.~~$0.7 million for RZ402. In addition to the increases in clinical trial costs, an increase of approximately $1.0 million was primarily due to initiating toxicology studies for RZ402. Compensation and benefits for our R&D workforce increased by approximately $0.8 million that was primarily attributable to an increase in the average number of R&D employees from ~~$1.4~~14 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 to 25 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. These increases in R&D expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were partially offset by a decrease in licensing costs of $1.0 million. We did not incur any licensing costs for the three months ended December 31, 2021, whereas for the three months ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $1.0 million under our licensing agreement with ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ActiveSite”). This payment to ActiveSite was triggered by the first milestone payment after acceptance of our investigational new drug application (“IND”) by the FDA in December 2020 pursuant to the Development and License Agreement entered into by us and ActiveSite on August 4, 2017. As discussed below under the caption Liquidity and Capital Resources, additional expenses will be incurred under our license agreements as we achieve certain clinical milestone events in future periods.

The increase in G&A expenses of $0.04 million for the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2020 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31,~~ 2021 an increase of approximately $0.1 million. This increase was attributable to an increase of $0.2 million in cash-based compensation and benefits, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in stock-based compensation expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash-based compensation increased by $0.2 million due to annual performance bonuses earned by members of our R&D workforce and the addition of employees to our R&D workforce. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we hired seven employees to our R&D workforce to satisfy the need for additional resources to accommodate existing and planned clinical activities for the remainder of calendar year 2021. Accordingly, we expect that cash-based compensation for our R&D workforce will continue to increase during the 2021 calendar year.

~~Clinical trial costs.~~ Clinical trial costs increased from approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.9 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher costs due to patient enrollment in our RZ402 Phase 1 study.
~~Consulting and outside services.~~ Consulting and outside services decreased from approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, consulting and outside services were primarily attributable to laboratory expenses of $0.1 million related to RZ358 and RZ402. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, consulting and outside services were primarily attributable to IND enabling laboratory expense of $0.8 million related to RZ402, patent maintenance costs of $0.2 million, and chemistry, manufacturing and controls (“CMC”) consulting services of $0.2 million for RZ358.
~~Material manufacturing costs.~~Material manufacturing costs were unchanged at approximately $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, material manufacturing costs were primarily related to RZ358.
~~Facilities and other.~~ Costs allocable to R&D activities for facilities and other costs increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, consulting and outside services were primarily attributable to laboratory and CMC expenses of $0.3 million related to RZ358 and patent maintenance costs of $0.1 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, consulting and outside services were primarily attributable to IND enabling laboratory expense of $1.5 million related to RZ402, patent maintenance costs of $0.4 million primarily related to AB101, and CMC consulting and contract laboratory services of $0.6 million for RZ358.
~~Licensing fees.~~ Licensing costs increased by $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2020, which was attributable to the $1.0 million milestone payment due to ActiveSite upon FDA clearance of our RZ402 IND application.
~~Material manufacturing costs.~~~~Material manufacturing costs~~ ~~decreased from $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to $0.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.~~ For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, substantially all material manufacturing costs of $0.6 million related to RZ358. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, material manufacturing costs consisted of $0.5 million related to RZ358 and $0.2 million for RZ402.
~~Facilities and other.~~ Costs allocable to R&D activities for facilities and other costs were unchanged at approximately $0.4 million for each of the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we had increased spending of $0.2 million for recruiting new employees which was offset by reduced spending of $0.2 million for travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
~~General and administrative~~ ~~expenses~~
~~G&A~~ expenses increased from approximately $5.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to approximately $5.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $0.9 million. As discussed below, this increase was primarily attributable to higher spending for professional fees of $0.5 million and increases in compensation and benefits for our administrative and executive workforce of $0.4 million.

~~Compensation and benefits.~~ Compensation and benefits for our G&A workforce increased from $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 to $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of approximately $0.4 million. This increase was attributable to an increase ~~of $0.7 million~~ in ~~cash-based compensation~~professional fees associated with program market research assessments, consulting services, and ~~benefits, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, cash-based compensation increased by $0.7 million due~~strategic financial advisory services related to ~~increases in annual performance bonuses and annual merit adjustments of~~ongoing financing efforts, totaling approximately $0.6 ~~million, and an increase in severance costs of $0.1~~ million.
~~Professional fees.~~ ~~Professional fees increased from~~Interest Expense. Interest expense was approximately $0.9 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2020~~2021, whereas we did not incur any interest expense for the same period in 2020. Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was solely attributable to ~~approximately $1.5~~the Loan Agreement (as defined below) entered into in April 2021 and consisted of (i) interest expense of $0.7 million based on the contractual rate of 8.87%, and (ii) accretion of discount of $0.2 million.
Employee Retention Credit. Employee retention credit income was $0.2 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2021, an increase~~2021. This amount is a result of ~~$0.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to our Nasdaq uplisting, corporate development activities,~~the benefits we qualified for under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and ~~strategic financial advisory services.~~
~~Facilities and other.~~ ~~Our G&A related facilities and other expenses decreased from approximately $0.9 million~~Economic Security Act during the six months ended December 31, 2021. We did not qualify for any employee retention credits for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March~~December 31, ~~2020 to approximately $0.7 million for~~2020.

Income Taxes. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2021, a decrease of $0.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to reduced travel and office-related expenses due to COVID-19 restrictions and a reduction in property tax expense.~~

~~Gain on changes in fair value of derivative liability~~

~~As discussed above under the caption~~ ~~Recent Developments,~~ on February 17, 2021 we recognized a derivative liability of $3.6 million related to a deficiency in our authorized shares of Common Stock, since there is a possibility that we could be required to settle a portion of our outstanding stock options and warrants in cash. The derivative liability is adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period and amounted to $1.8 million as of March 31, 2021. The change in fair value of $1.8 million is reflected as a non-cash gain for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. For the period from February 17, 2021 through March 31, 2021, a decrease in the market price of our Common Stock was the primary driver that resulted in the reduction in fair value and the resulting non-cash gain.

~~Income Taxes~~

~~For the nine months ended March~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not recognize any income tax benefit due to our net losses, and our determination that a ~~full~~ valuation allowance was required for all of our deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $32.0 million and working capital was approximately $28.6 million.~~ We have incurred cumulative net losses of ~~$161.6~~$188.6 million since our inception, and as a clinical stage company we have not generated any revenue to date.

As discussed ~~below~~above under ~~Fiscal~~the caption Recent Developments, in October and November 2021 ~~Equity Financing, on October 9,~~we completed the Underwritten Offering for net proceeds of $47.3 million and the Registered Direct Offering for proceeds of $5.0 million, resulting in total net proceeds of approximately $52.3 million. As of December 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $77.4 million, and working capital was approximately $71.7 million.

In December 2020, we ~~received~~entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as sales agent that provides for an “at the market offering” for the sale of up to $50.0 million in shares of the Company (“Placement Shares”). For the six months ended December 31, 2021, we sold 138,388 Placement Shares for which aggregate net proceeds ~~from investors in a private placement~~ of approximately ~~$37.5~~$1.5 million ~~from~~were received. Accordingly, we may sell up to an additional $48.5 million under the ~~issuance~~EDA. For additional information about the EDA, please refer to Note 6 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of ~~units~~this Report.

In August 2021, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“LPC”), which provides that ~~consisted~~we may sell to LPC up to an aggregate of ~~approximately 2.5~~$20.0 million of shares of ~~Common Stock and warrants for~~our common stock (the “Purchase Shares”). The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to LPC under the ~~purchase of approximately 0.8 million~~Purchase Agreement may not exceed 1,669,620 shares of ~~Common Stock.~~common stock, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, LPC purchased 115,708 Purchase Shares and we received net proceeds of $1.2 million. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, LPC is obligated to purchase up to a maximum of $18.8 million under the Purchase Agreement as of December 31, 2021. For additional information about the Purchase Agreement, please refer to Note 6 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

In April 2021, we entered into a ~~Loan Agreement that provides for total borrowings up to~~ $30.0 million ~~in three tranches. The initial tranche of funding for $15.0 million was received in April 2021. Under the~~ Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement ~~we are required to maintain a restricted cash balance of at least $5.0 million beginning no later than December 31, 2021. The second~~”) with SLR Investment Corp. and ~~third tranches available under the Loan Agreement are available after we raise up to an additional $70.0 million in equity or subordinated debt financing by September 2022.~~ ~~We are permitted to make interest-only payments on each term loan at least through May 1, 2023, and the maturity date is on April 1, 2026.~~

~~We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents balance, combined with the debt financing proceeds of $15.0 million received in April 2021,~~ ~~will be adequate to carry out currently planned activities at least through June 30, 2022. We also have flexibility to delay future clinical programs to conserve our capital resources.~~

Beginning in March 2020, COVID-19 has resulted in an economic environment that is unfavorable for many businesses to conduct operations. The U.S. economy had been adversely affected by mass quarantines and government mandated stay-in-place orders to halt the spread of the virus. While these orders have been relaxed at times, a full recovery of the U.S. economy may not occur until after 2021. The long-term effects on us are expected to result in higher costs in order to comply with safeguards to protect patients and staff engaged in clinical activities, and extended periods of time may be required to complete clinical trials. The current economic environment and financial market volatility may make it more challenging for us to continue to obtain funding in the future for our clinical programs.

Presented below is further discussion of transactions that impacted our liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 2021, and a discussion of the April 2021 Loan Agreement that will have a significant impact on our future liquidity and capital resources.

~~Fiscal 2021 Equity Financing~~

~~On October 9, 2020, we completed a private placement of units~~certain other lenders (the “Units”) consisting of (i) approximately 2.5 million shares of Common stock, and (ii) warrants entitling the holders to purchase approximately 0.8 million shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”“Lenders”). The Warrants are exercisable at $19.50 per share for a period of 7 years and may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis at the election of the holders. The Units were issued for a purchase price of $16.50 per Unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $41.0 million. Pursuant to a financial advisory agreement, weLenders agreed to pay the advisors a fee of 6.0% of the gross proceeds, and costs for professional fees and other offering costs amounted to approximately $1.1 million. After deducting the financial advisory fees and other offering costs, the estimated net proceeds amounted to approximately $37.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of the private placement, we executed the Reverse Stock Split, which was previously approved by the stockholders at our annual meeting on October 23, 2019 and that was effective on October 9, 2020. In addition, we were required to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) list our shares of Common Stock for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which was approved by Nasdaq on November 3, 2020, (ii) register the shares of Common Stock included in the Units, and (iii) register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company successfully registered the units on November 27, 2020.

~~Xoma License Agreement~~

In December 2017, we entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) with XOMA Corporation (“Xoma”) pursuant to which Xoma granted us an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize RZ358 for all indications. In January 2019, the License Agreement was amended. The amended License Agreement set forth an updated payment schedule, as well as revised the amount we were required to expend on development of RZ358 and related licensed products.

On March 31, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the License Agreement to extend the previous payment schedule for the remaining balance of approximately $2.6 million. The revised payment schedule provided for seven quarterly payments to be paid beginning on March 31, 2020, whereby the outstanding balance was reduced to $1.4 million as of September 30, 2020. Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, we were obligated to repay the remaining outstanding balance within 15 days following the closing of a financing for $20.0 million or more. Accordingly, the completion of the Fiscal 2021 Equity Financing resulted in acceleration of the $1.4 million outstanding obligation, which was paid in full on October 23, 2020.

Upon the achievement of certain clinical and regulatory events, we will be required to make up to $37.0 million in aggregate milestone payments to Xoma. The first such milestone payment of $2.0 million will be triggered upon enrollment of the last patient in our ongoing phase 2 clinical study and we believe that, subject to COVID-19 conditions, we will be able to complete this study by the second half of calendar year 2021. Additionally, upon the future commercialization of RZ358, we will be required to pay royalties to Xoma based on the net sales of the related products, and milestone payments up to an additional $185.0 million if future annual sales related to RZ358 exceed targets ranging from $100.0 million to $1.0 billion.

~~ActiveSite License Agreement~~

In August 2017, we entered into a Development and License Agreement with ActiveSite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“ActiveSite”) pursuant to which we acquired the rights to ActiveSite’s Plasma Kallikrein Inhibitor program (“PKI Program”). We are planning to use the PKI Program to develop, file, manufacture, market and sell products for diabetic macular edema and other human therapeutic indications. The ActiveSite Development and License Agreement requires various milestone payments ranging from $1.0 million to $10.0 million when milestone events occur, up to $46.5 million of aggregate milestone payments. The first milestone payment for $1.0 million was paid in December 2020 after we had received clearance from the FDA related to an IND for RZ402. We will also be required to pay royalties equal to 2.0% of any sales of products that use the PKI Program.

~~April 2021 Loan Agreement~~

~~On April 14, 2021, we entered into the Loan Agreement that provides for total borrowings~~loan up to $30.0 million in three tranches consisting of (i) a $15.0 million term A loan that was funded on April 14, 2021, (ii) a $7.5 million term B loan to be funded upon ~~our~~ request by us no later than January 25, 2022, and (iii) a $7.5 million term C loan to be funded upon ~~our~~ request by us no later than September 25, 2022. Funding of the term B ~~loan is~~and term C loans was subject to our ability to obtain ~~at least $35 million~~prescribed amounts of equity or subordinated debt financing ~~by January 2022~~ and the achievement of certain clinical milestones related to RZ358 and RZ402. ~~Funding~~We did not achieve the initial clinical milestones to qualify for funding of the term B and term C ~~loan is subject to our ability to meet the conditions for funding the~~loans. The term B loan, plus obtaining an additional $35 million of equity or subordinated debt financing by September 2022 and the achievement of certain additional clinical milestones related to RZ358 and RZ402. Each termA loan has a maturity date of April 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, our cash and cash equivalents became subject to a blocked account control agreement (“BACA”) in favor of the Lenders whereby a cash balance of at least $5.0 million must be maintained beginning on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, and (ii) the date the term B loan is funded. In the event of a default under the Loan Agreement, the BACA would enable the Lenders to prevent the release of funds from our cash accounts.

2026.

Outstanding borrowings bear interest at a floating rate equal to (a) 8.75% per annum plus (b) the greater of (i) the rate per annum published by the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Ltd. (“~~IEBA”~~IEBA”) for a term of one month and (ii) 0.12% per annum. ~~As of~~For the period from April 14, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the IEBA rate for a term of one month was approximately 0.12% per annum. Therefore, the contractual rate ~~at inception~~ was 8.87%. as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. We are permitted to make interest-only payments on ~~each~~the term A loan at least through May 1, 2023. ~~At our request, the interest-only period can be extended until May 1, 2024, if we~~ ~~obtain at least $70.0 million of equity or subordinated debt financing by September 2022 and assuming no event of default has occurred. We will be required to make~~ ~~monthly payments of principal and interest commencing at the end of the interest-only period of the term loans.~~

~~We are obligated to pay the Lenders (i)~~As a non-refundable facility fee in the amount of 1.00% of each term loan that is funded (the “Facility Fee”), and (ii) a final fee equal to 4.75% of the aggregate amount of the term loans funded (the “Final Fee”). At the closing on April 14, 2021, we incurred debt discounts for an aggregate of $1.4 million that consisted of $0.5 million for financial advisory and legal fees, and $0.9 million for the Facility Fee and the Final Fee. Final Fees are payable upon the earliest to occur of (i) the maturity date, (ii) the acceleration of the term loans, and (iii) the prepayment of the term loans. The total debt discount of $1.4 million related to the term A loan will be accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method.

~~Concurrently with the execution~~condition of the Loan Agreement, ~~we entered into an exit fee~~our cash and cash equivalents became subject to a blocked account control agreement ~~(the “Exit Fee Agreement”~~(“BACA”) ~~that provides for a fee of 4.0%~~in favor of the ~~funded principal~~Lenders whereby a cash balance of each term loan in the event certain transactions (defined as “Exit Events”) occur prior to April 13, 2031. Exit Events include, but are not limited to, sales of substantially all assets, certain mergers, change of control transactions, and issuances of Common Stock that result in new investors owning more than 35% of our outstanding shares. If we determine that it is probable that an Exit Event will occur over the ten-year term of the Exit Fee Agreement, a liability will be recognized, and the corresponding fee will be accounted for as an additional debt discount.

~~We have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loans.~~at least $5.0 million was required beginning on December 31, 2021. In the event of a ~~voluntary~~default under the Loan Agreement, the BACA would enable the Lenders to prevent the release of funds from our cash accounts until the default is cured or ~~mandatory prepayment prior~~waived. For additional information about the Loan Agreement, please refer to Note 5 to the ~~Maturity Date,~~financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2020 was ~~$37.2~~$37.5 million. This amount consisted of $41.0 million received from a private placement of Units in October 2020 for the purchase of approximately 2.5 million shares of ~~Common Stock~~common stock at a purchase price of $16.50 per share and (ii) warrants entitling the holders to purchase approximately 0.8 million shares of common stock, which partially offset by financial advisory fees and offering costs of approximately $3.5 million to result in net proceeds of $37.5 million. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we also incurred (i) deferred offering costs of $0.2 million primarily related to the EDA for an “at the market offering” entered into in December 2020, and (ii) debt issuance costs of $0.1 million related to our April 2021 Loan Agreement.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $22.6 million.

Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive and financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange ~~Act”~~Act”). Based on that assessment under those criteria, our management has determined that ~~as of March 31, 2021,~~ our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to two material weaknesses in the system of internal control. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.
The first material weakness identified by management is that due to our limited number of employees, we have not adequately segregated certain duties to prevent employees from overriding the internal control system. During our fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we hired a ~~Director~~Vice President of ~~Accounting~~Finance and we implemented additional procedures to improve our segregation of duties. However, without hiring additional personnel we have been unable to fully remediate this material weakness. We cannot provide assurance that these or other measures will eventually result in the elimination of ~~this~~the material ~~weakness.~~weakness described above.
~~The~~In March 2021, we identified a second material weakness that resulted from ineffective treasury controls over review of outstanding authorized shares and requirements for all securities and contracts to issue common shares to ensure adequate authorized shares exist. This material weakness occurred in February 2021 when we decided to file a certificate of correction towith the ~~certificate~~Secretary of ~~amendment to our certificate~~State of ~~incorporation (the “Charter Revision”). The~~ Delaware (“Charter Revision”) that changed our authorized shares of capital stock in the same 50 shares for one share ratio that applied to our issued shares of ~~Common Stock,~~common stock, stock options and warrants pursuant to a reverse stock split that was effected in October 2020. The impact of this adjustment caused an immediate reduction in our authorized shares of ~~Common Stock~~common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 10,000,000 shares. Accordingly, after the Charter Revision we did not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of ~~Common Stock~~common stock in the event that all of our outstanding stock options and warrants are subsequently exercised.

Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

~~COVID-19 could continue to adversely impact our business, including our clinical trials.~~
Beginning in March 2020, COVID-19 has resulted in an economic environment that is unfavorable for many businesses to conduct operations and to pursue new debt and equity financings. The U.S. economy has been adversely affected by mass quarantines and government mandated stay-in-place orders to halt the spread of the virus. While these orders have been relaxed, a full recovery of the U.S. economy may not occur until the second half of 2021 or later. The extent to which COVID-19 may continue to impact our business and clinical trials will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. As COVID-19 continues to spread around the globe, we will likely experience disruptions that could severely impact our business and clinical trials, including:
· ~~delays or difficulties in enrolling patients or maintaining scheduled study visits in our clinical trials;~~
· ~~delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site staff;~~
· diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials;
· ~~interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others;~~
· limitations in employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of our business or our clinical trials, including because of sickness of employees or their families, the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people or as a result of the governmental imposition of “shelter in place” or similar working restrictions;
· ~~delays in receiving approval from local regulatory authorities to initiate our planned clinical trials;~~
· ~~delays in clinical sites receiving the supplies and materials needed to conduct our clinical trials;~~
· ~~interruption in global shipping that may affect the transport of clinical trial materials, such as investigational drug product used in our clinical trials;~~
· changes in local regulations as part of a response to the COVID-19 outbreak which may require us to change the ways in which our clinical trials are conducted, which may result in unexpected costs, or to discontinue the clinical trials altogether;
· delays in necessary interactions with local regulators, ethics committees and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees; and
· ~~refusal of the FDA to accept data from clinical trials in affected geographies outside the United States.~~
COVID-19 is currently impacting countries, communities and markets. We require ongoing access to the capital markets to fund our future capital requirements. To the extent that our access to the capital markets is adversely affected by COVID-19, we may need to consider alternative sources of funding for our operations and for working capital, any of which could increase our cost of capital.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, including claims under the Securities Act, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents. Stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of Chancery could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. The Court of Chancery may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive provision shall not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.”
~~If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our Common Stock.~~
Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq. In order to maintain such listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other continued listing requirements and standards, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, and certain corporate governance requirements.
On December 28, 2020, the Company notified Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2)(A) as a result of the resignation of a member of the Company’s board who was also a member of the Company’s Audit Committee. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) requires a majority independent board and 5605(c)(2)(A) requires the Audit Committee to have at least three independent members (as defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), at least one of whom is an audit committee financial expert. As a result of the resignation of Mr. Jung-Hee Lim, the Company no longer has a majority independent board or an Audit Committee comprised of three independent directors. The Nasdaq Listing Rules provide for a cure period during which the Company may regain compliance. Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company shall have until the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1) and 5605(c)(2)(A); provided, however, that if the next annual meeting of stockholders occurs no later than 180 days following the event that caused the vacancy, the Company shall instead have 180 days from such event to regain compliance.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards or if we do later regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards, will be able to continue to comply with the applicable listing standards. If we are unable to maintain compliance with these Nasdaq requirements, our Common Stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
~~If Nasdaq delists our Common Stock, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:~~
· ~~a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;~~
· a determination that our Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Common Stock;
· ~~a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and~~
· ~~a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future~~
