CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements are based upon management’s assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. Except for historical information, the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking words such as “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “strategy,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “should” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and operational, economic and financial performance are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are only predictions, and actual results and the timing of certain events and circumstances may differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, Petros’ ability to execute on its business strategy, including its plans to develop and commercialize its product candidates; Petros’ ability to comply with obligations as a public reporting company; Petros’ ability to regain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards; the ability of Petros to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; the risk that the financial performance of Petros may not be as anticipated by the merger transactions that resulted in the Company’s creation; risks resulting from Petros’ status as an emerging growth company, including that reduced disclosure requirements may make shares of Petros common stock less attractive to investors; Petros’ ability to continue as a going concern; risks related to Petros’ history of incurring significant losses; risks related to Petros’ dependence on the commercialization of a single product, Stendra®, and on a single distributor thereof; risks related to the termination of Petros’ commercial supply agreement with Vivus, including the risk that Petros may not be able to obtain sufficient quantities of Stendra® in a timely manner or on commercially viable terms;; risks related to Petros’ ability to obtain regulatory approvals for, or market acceptance of, any of its products or product candidates; and the expected or potential impact of the novel coronavirus (“~~COVID-19”~~COVID 19”) pandemic, including the emergence of new variants, such as the ~~Delta~~Omicron BA.5 variant, and the related responses of governments, consumers, customers, suppliers, employees and the Company, on our business, operations, employees, financial condition and results of operations. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements are described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in “Risk Factor Summary” and in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” in Petros’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC, particularly our annual reports on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K. Petros cautions readers that the forward-looking statements included in, or incorporated by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions only as of the date hereof and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, Petros cannot assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because of the risks and uncertainties related to them and to the risk factors. We disclaim any obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any new information or future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by the federal securities laws.

1) Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation, and Liquidity

Nature of Operations

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) is a pharmaceutical company focused on men’s health therapeutics with a full range of commercial capabilities including sales, marketing, regulatory and medical affairs, finance, trade relations, pharmacovigilance, market access relations, manufacturing, and distribution.

Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). The Company is engaged in the commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which we have licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also markets its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV. In addition to ED products, we have acquired an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize H100™, a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease.

The Company was ~~incorporated in~~organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the ~~“Original Merger~~“Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, ~~Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”)~~, PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”).Metuchen. The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020. On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. ~~and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off)~~), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”)., and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neurotrope.

Basis of Presentation

The ~~Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization~~accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)~~. Metuchen was determined~~ applicable to bea going concern, which contemplates the ~~accounting acquirer based on an analysis~~realization of assets and the ~~criteria outlined~~satisfaction of liabilities in the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805,~~ ~~Business Combinations~~ ~~(“ASC 805”) and the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0%~~normal course of the equity securities of Petros immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of Petros are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of Petros. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020, became the Company’s historical financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Metuchen, Petros and Neurotrope, Inc, after the spin-off discussed above, from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.

~~Basis of Presentation~~

~~The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.~~business. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, actual results could differ from those estimates. The ~~condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The~~ unaudited interim ~~condensed~~ consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020. Certain prior year amounts~~2021.

All transactions between the consolidated entities have been ~~reclassified for consistency with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Principles of Consolidation~~

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TIMM Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”), subsidiaries of Metuchen, as well as the accounts of Metuchen and Neurotrope, subsidiaries of Petros. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since ~~its~~our inception. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company had cash of ~~$8.1~~approximately $11.2 million, ~~negative~~positive working capital of $10.8 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately ~~$20.1~~$86.5 million ~~including~~and used cash in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $11.2 million. In January 2022, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Vivus in connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement in the principal

amount of $10,201,758. The terms of this promissory note are discussed in Note 8. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are issued.

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of ~~$1.7 million~~this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that ~~matures~~the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in ~~2021,~~both public and ~~sustained cumulative losses attributable~~private offerings. The Company also plans to ~~common stockholders of $62.5 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our~~finance near-term operations with its cash ~~and cash equivalents~~ on hand, ~~and our liability due to Vivus~~ as well by as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. ~~In October 2021,~~There is no assurance the Company ~~issued 3,323,616 shares~~will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of ~~its common stock and received $5.5 million in net proceeds. In November 2021,~~financing described above that could be available to the Company ~~repaid $1.2 million~~and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in ~~full satisfaction~~part, on expanding the use of ~~its senior debt (See Note 8 Debt).

If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are ~~optimistic that we will be successful~~incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our ~~efforts~~current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to ~~achieve our plan, there can~~further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC or H100 in order to extend its cash resources.

As such, we obtained~~unable to continue as a ~~continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., (“the JCP Investor”) through November 16, 2022.~~going concern.

2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include the adequacy of accounts receivable reserves, return reserves, inventory reserves, ~~and~~ assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment and the ~~determination of the fair value~~valuation of the derivative liability, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, uncertainties related to commercialization of competitor products, regulatory approvals, dependence on key products, dependence on key customers and suppliers, and protection of intellectual property rights.

~~In January 2020, the~~The World Health Organization (“WHO”) ~~announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of~~declared the coronavirus ~~originating in Wuhan, China ( “COVID-19”~~(“COVID-19”) ~~and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19~~ a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of ~~COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population.~~COVID-19. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of any new variants will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal ~~2021~~2022 and ~~thereafter.~~beyond.

These online sales generally have lower gross margins than in-person sales, which has impacted our net revenues.

Revenue Recognition

Prescription Medication Sales

The Company’s prescription medication sales consist of sales of Stendra® in the U.S. for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. Under ~~ASC~~Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer ~~have~~has been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide Stendra® upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of Stendra®, which is typically upon delivery. The Company invoices its customers after Stendra® has been delivered and invoice payments are generally due within 30 to 75 days of invoice date.

In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company delivers Stendra® to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. The Company records prescription medication sales net of any variable consideration, including but not limited to discounts, rebates, returns, chargebacks, and distribution fees. The Company uses the expected value method when estimating its variable consideration, unless terms are specified within contracts. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from sales of Stendra® are recognized. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. These estimates may differ from actual consideration received. The Company evaluates these estimates each reporting period to reflect known changes.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the reserves for sales deductions were ~~$4.2~~$4.1 million and ~~$8.6~~$4.7 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, ~~coupon redemptions~~ and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. ~~The Company’s~~Our estimates are based on factors such as ~~its~~our direct and indirect customers’ buying patterns and the estimated resulting contractual deduction rates, historical experience, specific known market events and estimated future trends, current contractual and statutory requirements, industry data, estimated customer inventory levels, current contract sales terms with ~~its~~our direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation ~~are~~is required in developing the foregoing and other relevant assumptions. The most significant sales deductions are further described below.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return Stendra® and receive credit for product within six months prior to expiration date and up to one year after expiration date. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future Stendra® returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the reserves for product returns were ~~$3.2~~$3.5 million and ~~$7.1~~$3.8 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

~~Table~~ During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company revised and increased its estimate of ~~Contents~~reserves for product returns by $2.7 million. Higher than estimated wholesaler returns of Stendra® during the third quarter was primarily related to the return of short-dated product sold in prior periods above our initial estimates. Throughout each quarter, we regularly seek to obtain periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels from our significant wholesalers. As part of this process, certain wholesalers indicated an increased ability to sell short-dated product before expiration because prescription demand for Stendra was strong at that time. Citing the demand of wholesalers at that time, management expected the short-dated product would sell through to end customers. Because sell through was below that estimated by the wholesalers, the Company had to increase its current return exposure.

Contract Rebates, Coupon Redemptions and DSA Fees

The Company establishes contracts with wholesalers, chain stores, and indirect customers that provide for rebates, sales incentives, DSA fees and other allowances. Some customers receive rebates upon attaining established sales volumes. Direct rebates are generally rebates paid to direct purchasing customers based on a percentage applied to a direct customer’s purchases from us, including fees paid to wholesalers under our DSAs, as described below. Indirect rebates are rebates paid to indirect customers that have purchased our products from a wholesaler under a contract with us.

Table of Contents

The Company has entered into DSAs with certain of our significant wholesaler customers that obligate the wholesalers, in exchange for fees paid by us, to: (i) manage the variability of their purchases and inventory levels within specified limits based on product demand and (ii) provide us with specific services, including the provision of periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels for our pharmaceutical products held at their warehouse locations. See Note 3 Accounts Receivable, net for further discussion of these reserves.

Medical Device Sales

The Company’s medical device sales consist of domestic and international sales of men’s health products for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The men’s health products do not require a prescription and include ~~vacuum erection devices,~~Vacuum Erection Devices, PreBoost, VenoSeal, penile injections (Rx), and ~~other related accessories.~~urinary tract infection tests. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue from medical device sales when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide medical devices upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of the medical device, which is typically upon shipment. The Company invoices its customers after the medical devices have been shipped and invoice payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice date for domestic customers and 90 days for international customers.

In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company delivers the medical devices to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. The Company records medical device sales net of any variable consideration, including but not limited to returns. The Company uses the expected value method when estimating its variable consideration. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from the medical device sales are recognized. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. These estimates may differ from actual consideration received. The Company evaluates these estimates each reporting period to reflect known changes.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return medical devices and receive credit for products within 90 days of the sale. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future product returns and historical experience. ~~The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606.~~ As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Contract Costs

In relation to customer contracts, the Company incurs costs to fulfill a contract but does not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. As such, the Company did not have any contract assets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by an observable market.

~~Table of Contents~~

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

Table of Contents

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current ~~liabilities, and senior debt.~~liabilities. The Company believes that the carrying ~~value~~values of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities ~~approximates~~approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the derivative liability as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021 was ~~$0.3~~$0 million and ~~$9.9~~$0.5 million, respectively. See Note 109 Stockholders’ Equity.

Intangible Assets

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 1110 Stock Options.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLC”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm Medical was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

~~Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group.~~ The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the ~~rate change is enacted.~~enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ~~FASB~~ ASC ~~No.~~ 740~~Income Taxes~~ ~~(“ASC 740)~~ on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying ~~condensed~~ consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020, 0~~2021, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance ~~sheets.~~sheet.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common ~~shares~~stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the ~~dilutive~~anti-dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common ~~shares.~~stocks. The Company computes diluted net loss per common ~~share~~stock by dividing the net loss applicable to common ~~share~~stocks by the sum of the weighted-average number of common ~~shares~~stocks outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common ~~shares,~~stocks, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per stock of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

On January 18, 2022, Petros and Vivus ~~would initially manufacture, test, and supply the product~~entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Vivus Settlement Agreement”) related to the ~~Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties.~~minimum purchase requirements under the Vivus Supply Agreement in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and certain reimbursement rights asserted by a third-party retailer in connection with quantities of the Company’s Stendra® product that were delivered to the third-party retailer and later returned. In connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement, Petros retained approximately $7.3 million of API inventory under the Vivus Supply Agreement. In exchange for the API and reduction of current liabilities after prepayment of $900,000, Petros executed an interest-bearing promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Vivus in the original principal amount of $10,201,758, which the Company believes approximates fair value (See Note 8).

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement ~~, we and Vivus have been in negotiations~~ to ~~determine the amounts ultimately owed~~(i) grant to Vivus ~~but we may be responsible for payments~~a right of ~~approximately $20.7 million. The~~first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company ~~provided Vivus with notice of termination~~made a prepayment of the ~~Supply Agreement on September 30, 2019, which became effective on September 30, 2021.~~

~~The Company is currently negotiating~~obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with ~~multiple contract manufacturers~~respect to ~~manufacture and supply Stendra® and serve as potential replacements for~~a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. ~~The Company intends to enter into a new supply agreement with one or more~~In consideration of these ~~candidates in~~payments and upon the ~~near future and hopes to have an agreement in place by the end~~Company’s satisfaction of the year. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into any new supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us in a timely manner. As of November 15, 2021, we believe that we have sufficient supplies of Stendra® to meet demand for the next 10 months.

~~Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to~~certain regulatory submissions, Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply ~~Stendra® in excess of 120%~~released 50% of the quantity ~~specified above but will use reasonable efforts.~~of bulk Stendra® tablets on January 18, 2022 under the Company’s existing open purchase order (the “Open Purchase Order”) being held by Vivus, which represents approximately a six-month supply of inventory. Pursuant to the Vivus Settlement Agreement, Vivus also released the remaining 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Open Purchase Order, later during the first quarter of 2022, upon the Company’s satisfaction of the remaining regulatory submission requirements.

As a result of ~~both~~entering into the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company decreased accrued expenses by $6.5 million and decreased accrued inventory purchases by $14.2 million; which were partially offset by a decrease in API purchase commitments of $6.2 million and an increase to liabilities for the Note of $10.2 million (which is net of the $0.9 million prepayment on the Note). As a result, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on settlement for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company ~~had~~has $0 and $14.2 million, respectively, of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory. As

API inventory is not a finished ~~good,~~good. The Company has $0.2 million of API inventory which it has title to and is classified as raw materials inventory. The additional API inventory that the Company does not have title to ~~the product and classifies~~is classified as API Inventory in either other current assets or other assets, depending on whether the Company expects to take title to the product within one year from the date of the financial statements. As of ~~both~~ September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there was ~~$1.3~~$0.6 million and $1.4 million respectively included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets).

In the event that MTPC terminates the MTPC License with Vivus because of any contractual breach the Company has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow the Company to continue to sell Stendra®.

(b) Patheon

Following the termination of the Vivus Supply Agreement, Petros, through its subsidiary Metuchen, entered into a Technology Transfer Service Agreement on January 20, 2022 with Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc., part of Thermo Fisher Scientific (“Patheon”), pursuant to which the Company and Patheon agreed to collaborate as strategic partners for commercial production of Stendra® tablets at Patheon’s facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio. Under the Agreement, Patheon or one of its affiliates will provide pharmaceutical development and technology transfer services in order to establish and validate its ability to manufacture supply of the Company’s Stendra® product. Any commercial sale of product manufactured during the performance of the Agreement must be subject to a subsequent commercial manufacturing services agreement (with associated quality agreement) between the parties before it can be offered for commercial sale.

In March 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive license to H100™ from ~~Hybrid (the “Hybrid License”).~~Hybrid. H100™ is a topical candidate with at least one active ingredient and potentially a combination of ingredients responsible for the improvement of penile curvature during the acute phase of Peyronie’s disease. WeThe Company paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the ~~Hybrid License~~license agreement and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after its first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

~~The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020.~~ The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of Petros’ financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results. In certain instances, parenthetical references are made to relevant sections of the Notes to ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements to direct the reader to a further detailed discussion. This section should be read in conjunction with the ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements reflecting Petros’ current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Overview

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) is a pharmaceutical company focused on men’s health therapeutics, consisting of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Metuchen”), ~~TIMM~~Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), Neurotrope, Inc. (“Neurotrope”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Vivus, Inc (“Vivus”) to purchase and receive the license for the commercialization and development of Stendra® for a one-time fee of $70 million. The License Agreement gives the Company the right to sell Stendra® in the U.S and its territories, Canada, South America, and India. Stendra® is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”) and is the only patent protected PDE-5 inhibitor on the market. Stendra® offers the ED therapeutic landscape a valuable addition as an oral ED therapy that may be taken as early as approximately 15 minutes prior to sexual engagement, with or without food when using the 100mg or 200mg dosing (does not apply to 50mg dosing).

Metuchen was founded by Joseph J. Krivulka, an experienced pharmaceutical executive who held several key leadership positions at leading pharmaceutical companies such as Mylan Laboratories Inc. and its subsidiary Bertek Inc., and was Petros is also currently conducting non-clinical consumer studies in connection with the ~~co-founder~~contemplated pursuit of Reliant Pharmaceuticals, which was sold to GlaxoSmithKline in 2007 for $1.65 billion. During the period from Metuchen’s inception in 2016 through 2018, the founder decided to outsource the sales and marketing function to an affiliated contractor. The level of performance expected from this affiliated contractor was not realized. In 2018, the founder passed away which caused significant disruption to the business. In 2019, Metuchen terminated the relationship with this affiliate contractor and established its own internal sales, marketing, and trade distribution functionsFDA approval for Stendra®~~. Also~~ for Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) use in ~~2019, Metuchen deployed a specialized key account sales model augmented by a national non-personal promotion campaign reaching nearly 30,000 healthcare professionals. Metuchen~~treating ED.

In addition to Stendra®, Petros’ ED portfolio also ~~enhanced its digital campaigns designed to create awareness among patients~~includes external penile rigidity devices, namely Vacuum Erection Devices (“VEDs”), which are sold domestically and its partners. Additionally, Metuchen engaged in a wide array of specialty medical conferences including presentations at educational product theaters and launched a national savings coupon for enhanced product access. Metuchen believes that these activities have established a framework for growth. Following a year of internal management of marketing, sales, and trade distribution functions, we believe the Company is well-positioned for a strong, multi-channel sales and marketing campaign.

internationally. In addition to ED products, Petros is committed to identifying and developing other pharmaceuticals to advance men’s health. In March 2020, Petros acquired an exclusive global license (the “Hybrid License”) for the development and commercialization of H100™ from Hybrid Medical LLC (“~~Hybrid”~~Hybrid”). H100™ is a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s disease is a condition that occurs upon penile tissue disruption often caused by sexual activity or injury, healing into collagen-based scars that may ultimately harden and cause penile deformity. On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of $200,000, which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, ~~and agreed to pay two (2) additional payments of~~ $200,000 byon December 1, 2021, $200,000 on December 23, 2021 and ~~December 31, 2021.~~$150,000 on March 24, 2022.

Going Concern

Petros has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of approximately $11.2 million, positive working capital of $10.8 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $86.5 million and used cash in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $11.2 million. In January 2022, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Vivus in connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement in the principal amount of $10,201,758. The terms of this promissory note are discussed in Note 8. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are issued.

Table of Contents

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations with its cash on hand, as well by as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of financing described above that could be available to the Company and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on expanding the use of Stendra® and continuing to invest in research and development pursuant to our Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) strategies related to Stendra®, which we believe has the potential to dramatically increase product sales in the future; further developing and commercializing H100; and future capital market conditions. If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC or H100 in order to extend its cash resources. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

~~In January 2020, the~~The World Health Organization (“WHO”) ~~announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of~~declared the coronavirus ~~originating in Wuhan, China~~COVID-19 (“COVID-19”) ~~and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19~~ a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of ~~COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population.~~COVID-19. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of any new variants ~~such as the Delta variant,~~ will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal ~~2021~~2022 and ~~thereafter.~~beyond.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on men’s health therapeutics with a full range of commercial capabilities including sales, marketing, regulatory and medical affairs, finance, trade relations, pharmacovigilance, market access relations, manufacturing, and distribution.

Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“~~Petros” or~~Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). The Company is engaged in the ~~“Company”~~commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which we have licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also markets its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV. In addition to ED products, we have acquired an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize H100™, a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease.

The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 ~~(the “Original Merger~~(as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros,

Neurotrope, ~~Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”)~~, PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”).Metuchen. The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020.

On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. ~~and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off)~~), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”) and (ii) holders of record of Neurotrope common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, Neurotrope preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share and certain warrants as of November 30, 2020, received a pro rata distribution of common stock of Synaptogenix, resulting in a separate, independent publicly traded company.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Metuchen was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in the FASB’s ASC No. 805, ~~Business Combinations~~ ~~(“ASC 805”)~~, and ~~the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0%~~a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neurotrope and Metuchen at closing of the equity securities of the combined company immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of the combined company are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of the combined company. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020, became the Company’s historical financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of Petros from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.Neurotrope.

The Company manages its operations through two segments. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male ED. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. Expenses related to the development of H100™, which is in the early stages of development and has not yet sought FDA approval to begin Phase 1 clinical trials, will be within the Prescription Medications segment. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally.

Licensing and Distribution

The Company acquired the rights to Stendra® avanafil on September 30, 2016, when it entered into the License Agreement with Vivus to purchase and receive the license for the commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® avanafil for a one-time fee of $70 million. The License Agreement gives the Company the exclusive right to sell avanafil in the U.S. and its territories, as well as Canada, South America, and India. In December 2000, Vivus originally was granted the license from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (“MTPC”) to develop, market, and manufacture Stendra®. Stendra® was approved by the FDA in April 2012 to treat male ED.

The Company will pay MTPC a royalty of 5% on the first $500 million of net sales and 6% of net sales thereafter until the expiration of the applicable patent in a particular country. The last scheduled patent expiration is in April 2025. In consideration for the trademark assignment and the use of the trademarks associated with Stendra® and the Vivus technology, the Company shall (a) during the first, second, and third years following the expiration of the royalty period in a particular country in the Company’s territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 2% of the net sales of Stendra® in such territory; and (b) following the fourth and fifth years following the end of the royalty period in such territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of Stendra® in such territory. After the royalty period, no further royalties shall be owed with respect to net sales of Stendra® in such territory. In addition, the Company will be responsible for a pro-rata portion of a one-time $6 million milestone payment to be paid once $250 million in sales has been reached on the separate revenue stream of Stendra® during any calendar year.

In connection with the License Agreement, the Company and Vivus also entered into a Supply Agreement on ~~the effective date of the License Agreement,~~September 30, 2016, which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. ~~The Supply Agreement stated that Vivus would initially manufacture, test, and supply~~Following the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. In connection with the Supply Agreement, we and Vivus have been in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but we may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the Vivus Supply Agreement, Petros, through its subsidiary Metuchen, entered into a Technology Transfer Service Agreement on ~~September 30, 2019,~~January 20, 2022 with Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc., part of Thermo Fisher Scientific (“Patheon”), pursuant to which ~~became effective on September 30, 2021.~~

In December 2020, Vivus obtained approval of an in-court prepackaged plan of reorganization, under which IEH Biopharma LLC (“IEH”) obtained 100% ownership of Vivus (the “Prepackaged Plan”), and IEH assumed VIVUS’ contractual obligations under the Supply Agreement. The license agreement between MTPC and Vivus ~~(the “MTPC License”)~~ contains certain termination rights that will allow MTPC to terminate the agreement if Vivus were to breach any of the terms of the MTPC License or become insolvent or

bankrupt. In the event that MTPC terminates the MTPC License with Vivus because of any contractual breach the Company has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow the Company to continue to sell Stendra®.

On March 27, 2018, the Company entered into a Sublicense Agreement with Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus”) whereby the Company granted to Acerus an exclusive sublicense in Canada for, among other things, the development and commercialization of Stendra® avanafil for a one-time fee of $100,000.

In March 2020, we entered into the Hybrid License for the development and commercialization of H100™ from Hybrid. H100™ is a topical candidate with at least one active ingredient and potentially a combination of ingredients responsible for the improvement of penile curvature during the acute phase of Peyronie’s disease. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000 and additional payments of $250,000, with additional annual milestone payments of $125,000, $150,000, and $200,000 on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the entry into the Hybrid License and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the License Agreement) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000), which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, ~~and agreed to pay two (2) additional payments of~~ $200,000 byon December 1, 2021, $200,000 on December 23, 2021 and $150,000 on March 24, 2022.

Vivus Settlement Agreement, Promissory Note and the Security Agreement

On January 18, 2022, Petros and Vivus entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Vivus Settlement Agreement”) related to the minimum purchase requirements under the Vivus Supply Agreement in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and certain reimbursement rights asserted by a third-party retailer in connection with quantities of the Company’s Stendra® product that were delivered to the third-party retailer and later returned. In connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement, Petros retained approximately $7.3 million of API inventory under the Vivus Supply Agreement. In exchange for the API and reduction of current liabilities, Petros executed an interest-bearing promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Vivus in the principal amount of $10,201,758, which approximate fair value. The parties also entered into a Security Agreement to secure Petros’ obligations under the Note.

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) financing issued by or to Metuchen (including any subsidiaries and intermediaries) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions. Vivus released 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Company’s existing open purchase order (the “Open Purchase Order”) being held by Vivus, which represents approximately a six-month supply of inventory. Pursuant to the Vivus Settlement Agreement Vivus also released the remaining 50% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Open Purchase Order, later during the first quarter of 2022, upon the Company’s satisfaction of the remaining regulatory submission requirements.

As a result of entering into the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company decreased the Company’s accrued expenses by $6.5 million and decreased accrued inventory purchases by $14.2 million; which were partially offset by a decrease in API purchase commitments of $6.2 million and an increase to liabilities for the Note of $10.2 million (which is net of the $0.9 million prepayment on the Note). As a result, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on settlement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Under the terms of the Note, the principal amount of $10,201,758 is payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning on April 1, 2022 through January 1, 2027. Interest on the principal amount will accrue at a rate of 6% per year until the principal is repaid in full and is due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July, and October of each calendar year, commencing on April 1, 2022. The Company may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time, with no premium or penalty. In the event that the Company defaults under the Security Agreement, all principal outstanding under the Note at the time of the default will bear interest at a rate of 9% per year until the full and final payment of all principal and interest under the Note (regardless of whether any default is waived or cured). If the Note is placed in the hands of any attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings, the Company will also be required to pay all costs of collection

including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated January 18, 2022, the Company granted to Vivus a continuing security interest in all of its Stendra® API and products and its rights under the License Agreement. The Security Agreement contains customary events of default. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company has paid Vivus $1,438,925. As of September 30, 2022, the principal balance on the Note is $9,622,834.

Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement

On June 22, 2022, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between May 9, 2022, through June 21, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that we will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December ~~31, 2021.~~19, 2022 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event we do not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of our publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we meet these requirements, we may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that we will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. We have not regained compliance as of the date of this report. On October 12, 2022, we filed a definitive proxy statement for our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, including a proposal to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of the Board, a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio in the range of 1-for-4 to 1-for-10, with such ratio to be determined by the Board in its discretion and included in a public announcement. The 2022 annual meeting will be held on November 29, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements requires us to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our judgments, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, collectability of accounts receivable, inventory valuation and obsolescence, intangibles, income taxes, litigation, and contingencies. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for our judgments and making these estimates. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Any changes in those estimates will be reflected in our ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements as they occur. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; Notes to ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements; Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are most critical to a full understanding and evaluation of our reported financial results. The critical accounting policies addressed below reflect our most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements. We have reviewed these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide either its prescription medication or medical devices upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of the prescription medication or medical device, which is typically upon delivery.

In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist since the timing from when the Company delivers either the prescription medication or medical device to when the customers pay for the product is typically less than one year. The

Table of Contents

Company records sales net of any variable consideration, including but not limited to discounts, rebates, returns, chargebacks, and

~~Table of Contents~~

distribution fees. The Company uses the expected value method when estimating its variable consideration, unless terms are specified within contracts. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from sales are recognized. The Company recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. These estimates may differ from actual consideration received. The Company evaluates these estimates each reporting period to reflect known changes.

The most significant sales deductions relate to contract returns, contract rebates and coupon redemptions, and distribution service fees (“DSA fees”). Our estimates are based on factors such as our direct and indirect customers’ buying patterns and the estimated resulting contractual deduction rates, historical experience, specific known market events and estimated future trends, current contractual and statutory requirements, industry data, estimated customer inventory levels, current contract sales terms with our direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation are required in developing the foregoing and other relevant assumptions.

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return either the prescription medication or medical device and receive credit for product. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company revised and increased its estimate of reserves for product returns by $2.7 million. The higher than estimated wholesaler returns of Stendra® during the third quarter was primarily related to the return of short-dated product sold in prior periods above our initial estimates. Throughout each quarter, we regularly seek to obtain periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels from our significant wholesalers. As part of this process, certain wholesalers indicated an increased ability to sell short-dated product before expiration because prescription demand for Stendra was strong at that time. Citing the demand of wholesalers at that time, management expected the short-dated product would sell through to end customers. Because sell through was below that estimated by the wholesalers, the Company had to increase its current return exposure.

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, ~~DSA~~distribution service fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts.

~~Inventory~~Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories are adjusted for excess and obsolescence. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as expiry date, inventory turnover, and management’s assessment of current product demand.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received a liability classified earnout consideration to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using athe Monte Carlo Simulation ~~approach.~~approach as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

~~Table of Contents~~

Intangibles

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company reviews the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or the period over which they should be amortized has changed. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company determines whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed and prepared an undiscounted cash flow analysis. While impairment indicators existed in prior periods, in the current period the Company noted with respect to the Stendra® product, a significant decline in gross billings, higher than estimated returns of the 8A lots, along with a significant decline in the Company’s overall market capital value. Primarily as a result of these factors, the undiscounted cash flow analysis for the Stendra® product indicated an impairment. The Company then prepared a discounted cash flow analysis resulting in an impairment of approximately $7.5 million. This analysis includes projections of future revenue and expenses, which if not achieved could result in future impairment charges, Additionally, we are planning to continue investing in research and development pursuant to our OTC strategies related to Stendra®, which we anticipate will dramatically increase product sales in the future. Should we be unsuccessful or delayed in our expectations of our OTC strategies, there may be further impairment of the intangible asset.

Results of Operations

The impact on our results of operations of the COVID-19 pandemic and related changes in economic conditions ~~including changes to consumer spending resulting from the rapid rise in local and national unemployment rates,~~ are highly uncertain and, in many instances, outside of our control. The duration and severity of the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic continue to evolve and in ways that are difficult to anticipate. There are numerous uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted our ability to forecast our future operations as a ~~company.~~Company. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, and the emergence of any new variants, will affect our business, financial position and operating results in the future cannot be predicted with certainty; however, any such impact could be material. The COVID-19 pandemic could also increase the degree to which our results, including the results of our business segments, fluctuate in the future.

During the three

Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2022, the Company revised and increased its estimate of reserves for product returns by $2.7 million. The decrease in net sales of Stendra® was substantially ~~the result of increased sales allowances to promote sales of the 50mg Stendra®~~ due to wholesaler returns related to the ~~manufacturing delays~~sale of short-dated product above our initial estimates and decreased wholesaler sales due to decreased demand. Throughout the ~~100mg Stendra®. This situation is~~fiscal quarter, we regularly seek to obtain periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels from our significant wholesalers. As part of this process, certain wholesalers indicated an increased ability to sell short-dated product before expiration because prescription demand for Stendra was strong at that time. Citing the demand of wholesalers at that time, management expected the short-dated product would sell through to ~~be resolved~~end customers. Because sell through was below that estimated by the wholesalers, the Company had to increase its current return exposure. The Company has experienced a significant decrease in prescription demand for Stendra since the ~~fourth~~second quarter of ~~2021.~~this year. The ~~decrease~~increase in net sales for ~~our~~ Medical Devices ~~segment was attributable to decreased demand~~included an increase in ~~domestic sales~~international and ~~international~~domestic sales of VED systems.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the ~~three~~nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, were ~~$319,158,~~$1,408,086, composed of ~~$45,254~~$525,073 of cost of sales for our Prescription Medicines segment and ~~$273,904~~$883,013 for our Medical Devices segment.

~~Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were $981,903 composed of $749,575 of cost of sales for our Prescription Medicines segment and $232,328 for our Medical Devices segment.~~

Cost of sales for the Prescription Medicine segment for the three months ended September 30, 2021, consisted of 152% royalty expenses, which was partially offset by a net 32% favorable adjustment to the costs of Stendra® sales and inventory obsolescence reserves and a 20% favorable adjustment to the 3PL order fulfillment and shipping expenses.

~~Cost of sales for the Medical Device segment for the three months September 30, 2021, consisted of 86% raw materials and 14% production labor.~~

Cost of sales decreased by $662,745 or 68% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 15% and 28%, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was a result of decreased sales order fulfillment costs (on a per unit basis) during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and decreased amortization expense due to the inventory step-up asset being fully amortized in September 2020.

~~Gross Profit~~

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $1,826,011 or 85%, composed of $1,332,036 of gross profit from Prescription Medicines and $493,974 from Medical Devices. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $2,482,792 or 72%, composed of $1,840,576 of gross profit from Prescription Medicines and $642,216 from Medical Devices. The changes in gross profit were driven by the factors noted above.

~~Operating Expenses~~

~~Selling, general and administrative~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021, were $3,413,223, composed of $1,318,610 of selling, general and administrative expenses of our Prescription Medicines segment, $722,998 of selling, general and administrative expenses of our Medical Devices segment and $1,371,615 of general corporate expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were $3,121,023, composed of $1,837,864 of selling, general and administrative expenses of our Prescription Medicines segment, $566,666 of selling, general and administrative expenses of our Medical Devices segment and $716,493 of general corporate expenses.

~~Table of Contents~~

Selling, general and administrative expenses for both segments include selling, marketing, and regulatory expenses. Unallocated general corporate expenses include costs that were not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group, including expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees, and other similar corporate expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $292,200 or 9.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Increased selling general and administrative expenses were primarily driven by increased expenses associated with accounting, advisory, insurance, and investor relation services, which the Company did not incur in the prior period as a private company, partially offset by lower payroll expenses and direct marketing expenses as management sought to reduce expenses to improve operational efficiencies.

~~Research and development~~

~~Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021, were $280,576 in our Prescription Medicines segment.~~

Research and development expenses for Prescription Medicines segment are composed of $232,076 for consulting fees related to the Company's Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Strategies and $48,500 for legal fees related to the H100 license acquired in March 2020.

Research and development expenses for Prescription Medicines segment are composed of $7,790 for consulting fees and $29, 038 for legal fees related to the H100 license acquired in March 2020.

Research and development expenses increased by $243,748 or 662% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Increased research and development expenses were primarily driven by increased consulting fees related to the Company's Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Strategies and increased legal fees related to the H100 license acquired in March 2020 partially offset by decreased consulting fees related to the H100 license acquired in March 2020.

~~Depreciation and amortization~~

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021, were $1,728,829, composed of $1,398,270 of depreciation and amortization expenses of our Prescription Medicines segment and $330,559 of depreciation and amortization expenses of our Medical Devices segment.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were $1,661,362, composed of $1,353,591 of depreciation and amortization expenses of our Prescription Medicines segment and $307,771 of depreciation and amortization expenses of our Medical Devices segment.

Prescription Medicines depreciation and amortization consists primarily of the amortization of the intangible assets related to Stendra® over its estimated useful life of 10 years. Medical Devices depreciation and amortization primarily consists of the amortization of the intangible assets related to Timm Medical and PTV over their estimated useful life of 12 years.

~~Change in fair value of derivative liability~~

In connection with the Mergers consummated on December 1, 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received a liability classified earnout consideration to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock if either Petros’ Market Capitalization (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or Petros receives aggregate gross proceeds from securities offerings that equals or exceeds certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement. The earnout contingent consideration met the criteria to be classified as a derivative with fair value remeasurements recorded in earnings each reporting period. As a result, the $1,970,000 represents the change in fair value of the derivative during the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by the decline in the Company’s stock price as well as the passage of time.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Interest expense, senior debt~~

Interest expense, senior debt for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $67,936, consisting of interest payments on our senior debt, with a weighted average balance of $2,305,470. Interest expense, senior debt for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $300,355, consisting of interest payments on our senior debt, with a weighted average balance of $8,696,030. The decrease of $232,419 or 77% was due to the pay down of $6.4 million of senior debt and unchanged weighted average interest rate subsequent to September 30, 2020.

~~Interest expense, subordinated related party term loans~~

There was no interest expense, subordinated related party term loans for the three months ended September 30, 2021. During 2020, the Company borrowed additional subordinated related party term loans in aggregate principal amount of $15.5 million. The subordinated related party term loans were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock with the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020. Accordingly, there was no principal balance of the subordinated related party term loans or accrued PIK interest as of September 30, 2021.

Prescription Medicines sales consist of sales of Stendra® in the U.S. for the treatment of male ED.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company revised and increased its estimate of reserves for product returns by $2.7 million. The decrease in net sales of Stendra® was substantially due to wholesaler returns related to the sale of short-dated product above our initial estimates and decreased wholesaler sales due to decreased demand, resulting in negative net sales for the period. Throughout the fiscal quarter, we regularly seek to obtain periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels from our significant wholesalers. As part of this process, certain wholesalers indicated an increased ability to sell short-dated product before expiration because prescription demand for Stendra was strong at that time. Citing the demand of wholesalers at that time, management expected the short-dated product would sell through to end customers. Because sell through was below that estimated by the wholesalers, the Company had to increase its current return exposure. The Company has experienced a significant decrease in prescription demand for Stendra since the second quarter of this year. The decrease in net sales for Medical Devices included a decrease in international partially offset by an increase in domestic sales of VED systems.

While~~events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in ~~discussions~~both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations with ~~Vivus~~its cash on hand, as well by as exploring additional ways to ~~convert a portion~~raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of financing described above that could be available to the Company and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on expanding the use of Stendra® and continuing to invest in research and development pursuant to our Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) strategies related to Stendra®, which we believe has the potential to dramatically increase product sales in the future; further developing and commercializing H100; and future capital market conditions. If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC or H100 in order to extend its cash resources.

In March 2020, the Company acquired the Hybrid License, providing an exclusive license to H100™. H100™ is a topical candidate with at least one active ingredient and potentially a combination of ingredients responsible for the improvement of penile curvature during the acute phase of Peyronie’s disease. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000 and an additional payment of $250,000 and additional annual milestone payments of $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000 are due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the license agreement and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between ~~3-6%~~3 and 6% of any net sales.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the Hybrid License was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000), which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the second letter agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, ~~and agreed to pay two (2) additional payments of~~ $200,000 byon December 1, 2021, $200,000 on December 23, 2021 and ~~December 31, 2021.~~$150,000 on March 24, 2022.

The Company also expects to incur approximately ~~$14~~$20 million of research and development expenses relating to H100™ over the estimated four to six-year period of clinical development prior to FDA approval, including approximately ~~$10~~$15 million for clinical trials and $4$5 million of other expenses. The Company anticipates funding these future expenses through additional capital raises, awarded grants or issuance of debt, until revenues become sufficient to cover these ongoing expenses.

We are focused on expanding our service offering through internal development, collaborations, and through strategic acquisitions. We are continually evaluating potential asset acquisitions and business combinations. To finance such acquisitions, we might raise additional equity capital, incur additional debt, or both.

Debt

Vivus Note

As noted above, in January 2022, the Company executed a promissory note in favor of Vivus with a principal amount of $10,201,758 in connection with the Vivus Settlement Agreement. For more information, see the section above titled “—Vivus Settlement Agreement, Promissory Note and the Security Agreement.”

Senior Debt

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), for a $35 million term loan. The Loan Agreement ~~includes~~included an additional Payable-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest that increases the outstanding principal on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 1.35% and a $787,500 end of term charge. The end of term charge iswas being recognized as interest expense and accreted over the term of the Loan Agreement, as amended, using the effective interest method. We refer to the amounts available under the credit facility with Hercules as Senior Debt.

On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). A covenant was added, in which the Company must achieve a certain minimum EBITDA, as defined in the First Amendment, target for the trailing twelve-month period, ending ~~June,30,~~June 30, 2018. The end of term charge was increased from $787,500 to $1,068,750. The minimum EBITDA for each of the trailing six months and the fixed charge coverage ratio were reduced from 1:1 to 0.9:1. The Company was also required to prepay ~~$10 million~~$10,000,000 in ~~principle.~~principal.

On August 13, 2019, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Hercules under which Hercules agreed to forbear exercising any remedies under the loan for events of default through the earlier of September 30, 2019 or the occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement, as amended.

Effective April 13, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Loan Agreement, (the “Second Amendment”), to extend the maturity date ~~thereof to April 1, 2021, subject to further extension~~ to December 1, 2021, if the Company ~~raises~~should raise at least $20 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction.

The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P., an affiliate of ~~the~~ JCP Investor, Hercules, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow certain funds in an aggregate amount equal to certain principal payments owed under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

On November 3, 2021, the Company repaid the remaining balance due on the Senior Debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our financial statements included ~~as Exhibit 99.1 to~~in this Form 10-Q. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

~~Table of Contents~~

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized by management to evaluate the Company’s performance on a comparable basis. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as a supplemental way to evaluate the ongoing operations of the Company’s business as Adjusted EBITDA may enhance investors’ ability to compare historical periods as it adjusts for the impact of financing methods, tax law and strategy changes, and depreciation and amortization and to evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measurement that management and the Company’s Board of Directors use in their financial and operational decision-making and in the determination of certain compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the Company’s industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to exclude certain items that affect comparability. The adjustments are itemized in the tables below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reason the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjustments, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. The presentation of these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or recurring items.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude (i) interest expense, net, (ii) depreciation and amortization and (iii) income taxes, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance or that are non-recurring in nature. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

●

does not reflect the Company’s capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

●

does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;

●

does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt; and

●

does not reflect payments related to income taxes, if applicable.

Gross Billings

Gross billings is a non-GAAP financial measure utilized as a key performance metric by management and the Company’s Board of Directors in their financial and operational decision-making as well as for the preparation of the annual budget. The Company believes that ~~Gross~~gross billings is useful to investors as a supplemental way to provide an alternative measure of the total demand for the products sold by the Company. Gross billings is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the Company’s industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net sales as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). The Company’s presentation of gross billings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Gross billings is adjusted to exclude certain items that affect comparability. The adjustments are itemized in the tables below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reason the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjustments, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. The presentation of these adjustments should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or recurring items.

The Company defines gross billings as the amount of its aggregate sales billed to customers at standard prices before the application of certain adjustments that reduce the net amount received from customers, including product returns, certain rebates and coupon redemptions, discounts and fees.

The negative net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022, is the result of the Stendra® product primarily due to wholesaler returns related to the sale of short-dated product above our initial estimates and decreased wholesaler sales due to decreased demand. Throughout the fiscal quarter, we regularly seek to obtain periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels from our significant wholesalers. As part of this process, certain wholesalers indicated an increased ability to sell short-dated product before expiration because prescription demand for Stendra was strong at that time. Citing the demand of wholesalers at that time, management expected the short-dated product would sell through to end customers. Because sell through was below that estimated by the wholesalers, the Company had to increase its current return exposure. The Company has experienced a significant decrease in prescription demand for Stendra since the second quarter of this year.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net sales to gross billings for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As disclosed in Part II Item 9A Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we identified a material weaknesses in internal control related to (1) Petros has an insufficient level of monitoring and oversight controls and does not enforce the implementation of key controls reflected on its internal control process matrices; (2) the sizes of Petros’ accounting and IT departments make it impracticable to achieve an appropriate segregation of duties; and (3) Petros does not have appropriate IT access related controls.

Management plans to expand the scope of its remediation of its internal controls over financial reporting at the consolidated level and has developed a plan to address the remediation of the foregoing deficiencies in ~~2021.~~the second half of 2022. The Company has hired an external consultant to assist in the remediation of the deficiencies.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

~~There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred~~Management has mitigated its IT access related controls during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2021, that~~2022. Specifically, elevated privileges such as administrator access to financial systems have ~~materially affected, or are reasonably likely~~been assigned to ~~materially affect, our internal control over~~an individual who does not bear responsibility for performing financial reporting ~~other than as noted above.~~or posting financial transactions.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business.

The information set forth in Note 1514 Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described ~~below,~~in our annual report, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price.

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.

~~We expect~~Uncertainties relating to ~~require additional~~our ability to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated shareholders’ deficit of approximately $79 million and approximately $11.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $10.8 million of positive working capital ~~in the future in order~~available for use to ~~develop~~fund our ~~products, fund~~ operations and ~~otherwise implement our business strategy.

Furthermore, we also could be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise that may require us to relinquish rights to some of our ~~business strategies.~~intellectual property or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us.

As previously reported, on June 22, 2022, we received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between May 9, 2022, through June 21, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The ~~terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable~~Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to ~~new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have~~Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, our common stock must maintain a ~~further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.~~

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.minimum

In the event that we do not ~~anticipate paying dividends on~~regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If we meet these requirements, we may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that we will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock ~~in the foreseeable future.~~will be subject to delisting.

~~Sales of a substantial number of shares~~Although we expect to take actions intended to restore our compliance with the listing requirements, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would be successful, or that any such action would stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our common ~~stock,~~stock. Should a delisting occur, an investor would likely find it significantly more difficult to dispose of, or ~~the perception that such sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our common stock.~~

~~Almost all of our outstanding shares of common stock,~~to obtain accurate quotations as well as a substantial number of shares of our common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants, are available for sale in the public market, either pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or an effective registration statement. We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on January 29, 2021, we may sell up to $100,000,000 of our equity securities over the next several years, and approximately $94,300,000 of our equity securities is available for sale under such registration statement. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market pricevalue of our common stock, and ~~impair~~ our ability to raise future capital through the sale of ~~additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of~~ our common stock ~~would have on the market price of our common stock.~~

~~Our stock price may~~could be ~~volatile.~~

~~The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:~~

●

~~results of our operations and product development efforts;~~

●

~~our ability to obtain working capital financing;~~

●

~~additions or departures of key personnel;~~

●

~~limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;~~

●

~~our ability to execute our business plan;~~

●

~~sales of our common stock and decline in demand for our common stock;~~

●

~~regulatory developments;~~

●

~~economic and other external factors;~~

●

~~investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and~~

●

~~period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in the recent past. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at a desired price.

We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and the loss of, or a significant shortfall in demand from, these customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We generate a significant amount of sales from a limited number of customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, four customers accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated gross sales, and five main customers collectively accounted for approximately 98% of Stendra® gross sales. We expect that sales to relatively few customers will continue to account for a significant percentage of our net revenues in future periods. However, these customers or any of our other customers may not continue to purchase our products at current levels, pricing, or at all, and our revenue could fluctuate significantly due to changes in economic conditions, the success of our competitors’ products, or the loss of, reduction of business with, or less favorable terms with any of our largest customers. We have not entered into purchase agreements with any of these customers, and therefore, these customers are not subject to minimum purchase orders or have any contractual obligations to purchase our products. If we were to lose one of our key customers or have a key customer significantly reduce its volume of business with us, our revenues may be materially reduced, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and cash flows and projections.

We have terminated our contract with a major supplier, and if we are unable to enter into a contract with a new supplier in a timely manner it could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Petros entered into a commercial supply agreement with Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”) for Stendra® on September 30, 2016 (the “Supply Agreement”), which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. Up to that point, Petros has obtained its supply of Stendra® from Vivus pursuant to the Supply Agreement. We are currently negotiating with alternative vendors to manufacture our Stendra® product and replace Vivus. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into a supply agreement with such potential vendors or that at terms favorable to us. If we are unable to come to an agreement with an alternative vendor in a timely manner, we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of Stendra®, which would reduce our ability to make sales, deplete inventory, and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
