EVOFEM BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
On January 17, 2018, Neothetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Neothetics), now known as Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (the Company), completed its merger (the Merger) with privately-held Evofem Biosciences Operations, Inc. (Private Evofem), in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated October 17, 2017, whereby Nobelli Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Neothetics, merged with and into Private Evofem, with Private Evofem surviving as Neothetics’ wholly-owned subsidiary. Unless otherwise noted, references in this report to “Evofem” and the “Company” refer to Evofem Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries following the closing of the Merger.
Evofem is a San Diego-based, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in women’s sexual and reproductive health, including hormone-free, woman-controlled contraception and protection from certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The Company’s first commercial product, Phexxi™ (lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate) vaginal gel,Phexxi, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)FDA on May 22, 2020 and is the first and only FDA-approved, hormone-free, woman-controlled, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. The Company commercially launched Phexxi in September 2020.
Evofem’s pipeline product candidate, EVO100, is being evaluated for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women - two of the most pervasive sexually transmitted infectionsSTIs in the United States. Currently, there are no FDA-approved prescription products for the prevention of either of these dangerous infections.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 12,4, 2021 (the 2020 (the 2019 Audited Financial Statements).
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit for the periods presented. The results for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20192020 was derived from the 20192020 Audited Financial Statements.
Reclassification
The Company has separated the presentation of selling and marketing expenses from the total general and administrative expenses in the current period condensed consolidated statement of operations. To conform prior year amounts to the current period presentation, totals of $3.8 million and $6.2 million were reclassified from general and administrative expenses to selling and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Risks, Uncertainties and Going Concern
We are susceptible to risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which is affecting our employees, customers, communities and business operations, as well as the U.S. and global economies and financial markets.
Any disruptions in the commercialization of Phexxi and/or the completion of our clinical trials, data analysis or readouts and/or any disruption in our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the success of ongoing COVID-19 vaccination efforts, the emergence, prevalence and strength of variant strains, and the actions taken to contain or treat the disease, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities, in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company’s principal operations have been related to research and development, including the development of Phexxi, sellingand to its commercially related sales and marketing relatedefforts. Additional activities for preparation of the commercial launch of Phexxi, as well ashave included raising capital, recruiting personnel and establishing and maintaining a corporate infrastructure to support a commercial product. The Company has recognized limited revenues since the commercial launch
has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As described in Note 5- Convertible Notes and Note 11-10- Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $81.5 million upon the sale and issuance of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock from two underwritten public offerings that occurred in the first half of 2021, gross proceeds of $25.0$50.0 million from the issuance of convertible notes in the second and fourth quarter of 2020, net proceeds of approximately $103.7 million upon the sale and issuance of common stock from thean underwritten public offering in June 2020, and $3.8 million from its “at the market” (ATM) program, net of commissions.commissions, in 2020. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $86.7$47.0 million, $14.9 million in restricted cash from the Adjuvant Notes (as defined in Note 5- Convertible Notes) that is available for use, working capital of $36.4$27.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $614.9$735.1 million.
The Company is subject to risks common to other life science companies in the development and early commercial stage including, but not limited to, uncertainty regarding the commercial success of Phexxi and the development of its pipeline product candidate, EVO100,EVO100; potential disruption of its research and development andcommercialization activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,pandemic; lack of marketing and sales history,history; potential development by its competitors of new and competitive technological innovations,innovations; dependence on key personnel,personnel; market acceptance of Phexxi or any other future approved products, if any,any; product liability,liability; protection of proprietary technology,technology; ability to raise additional financing,financing; and compliance with the FDA and other government regulations, including post marketing regulations. Management’s plans to meet its short- and long-term operating cash flow requirements include generating recurring product revenue and obtaining additional funding, such as through the issuance of its common stock, non-dilutive financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies.
While the Company has recognized limited revenues since the launch of Phexxi in September 2020, the Company anticipates it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. When compared to the prior year, R&D expenses are expected to decrease in 2020 due to completion of the clinical phase of AMPREVENCE, the Phase 2b clinical trial of EVO100, in December 2019, partially offset by the initiation of EVOGUARD, the Phase 3 clinical trial of EVO100 in October 2020. Additionally, selling and marketing expenses are expected to increase significantly in 2020 due to pre-commercialization activities preceding the US commercial launch of Phexxi in September 2020 and the subsequent initiation of full commercialization activities post commercial launch through the remainder of 2020 and in future periods. When compared to the prior year, the Company expects general and administrative expenses to increase in 2020 as it hires additional personnel and it engages third parties to support the growth of our business. According to management estimates, liquidity resources as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not sufficient to maintain itsthe Company’s planned level of operations for the 12twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
These circumstances and the uncertainties associated with the Company’s ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, enter into collaborative agreements with strategic partners, and otherwise succeed in its future operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If the Company is not able to obtain the required funding in the near term, through equity or debt financings or other means, or is unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to the Company, this will have a material adverse effect on its commercialization and development operations and its strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional funding and implement its strategic development plan, the Company may be forced to make reductions in spending, including spending in connection with its commercialization activities, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible at a potentially lower amount than as recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, suspend or curtail planned operations or cease operations entirely. Any of these could materially and adversely affect its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects and the Company would not be able to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events were evaluated through the filing date of this Quarterly Report, August 11, 2021. See Note 10- Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) for discussion of a subsequent event which occurred in July 2021.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to: the assumptions used in measuring the revenue gross-to-net variable consideration items, the trade accounts receivable credit loss reserve estimate, the discount rate used in estimating the fair value of the lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities, the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of convertible notes, warrants and purchase rights issued, the useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, clinical trial accruals, the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation expense and in assessing the probability of achieving certain milestones associated with the performance-based restricted stock awards.awards (Performance-based RSAs). These assumptions are more fully described in Note 3- Revenue Recognition, Note 5- Convertible Notes, Note 7- Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Note 8- Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 11- Stock-based Compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and adjusts when facts and circumstances dictate. The estimates are the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and recorded expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may materially differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in 1 operating segment.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Deposits in the Company’s checking, time deposit and investment accounts are maintained in federally insured financial institutions and are subject to federally insured limits or limits set by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company invests in funds through a major U.S. bank and is exposed to credit risk in the event of default to the extent of amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant concentrations of credit risk on its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held.
The Company is also subject to credit risk related to its trade accounts receivable from product sales. Its customers are located in the United States and consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and a mail-order specialty pharmacy. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business after evaluating their overall financial condition and evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable by periodically reviewing the age of the receivables, the financial condition of its customers, and its past collection experience. Historically, the Company has not experienced any credit losses. As of June 30, 2021, based on the evaluation of these factors the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s three largest customers combined made up approximately 83% and 85% of its gross product sales, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had no product sales. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's three largest customers combined made up 85% and 95%, respectively, of its trade accounts receivable balance.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been severalno changes to the significant accounting policies that were described in Note 22- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the 20192020 Audited Financial Statements during the thirdfirst quarter of 2020. These changes include the Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance as described below, and also the accounting policy for revenue recognition, inventories, and the Company's election of fair value option (FVO) to account for certain financial liabilities as described in Note 3- Revenue Recognition, Note 4- Inventories, and Note 5- Convertible Notes, respectively.2021.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of readily available cash in checking accounts and money market funds, and investments in fixed income debt securities with original maturities of less than three months.funds. Restricted cash consists of cash held in monthly time deposit accounts and letters of credit, which are collateral for the Company’s credit cards, facility leases and fleet leases as described in Note 8- Commitments and Contingencies. As of June 30, 2021, the Company maintained letters of credit of $0.8 million and $0.3 million for its office lease and fleet leases, respectively. Additionally, the remaining $14.9 million of the $25.0 million received from the issuance of Adjuvant Notes in the fourth quarter of 2020, is classified as restricted cash as the Company is contractually obligated to use the funds for specific purposes.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, reported within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance
Trade accounts receivable are amounts owed to the Company by its customers for product that has been delivered. The trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount, less prompt pay and other discounts, chargebacks, and an allowance for credit losses, if any. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s estimate of losses over the life of the receivables. The Company evaluates forward looking economic factors and uses professional judgment to determine the allowance for credit losses, as Phexxi was commercially launched in September 2020 and historical data is not yet available. The credit loss reserves are reviewed and adjusted periodically.

Trade accounts receivable are aged based on the contractual payment terms. When the collectability of an invoice is no longer probable, the Company will create a reserve for that specific receivable. If a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, it is charged against the general credit loss reserve or the reserve for the specific receivable, if one exists.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share are summarized in the table below.

3.Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product, Phexxi in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer. In accordance with the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. The
Company’s customers are located in the United States and consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and a mail-order specialty retail pharmacy. Payment terms typically range from 45 to 66 days, include prompt pay discounts, and vary by customer. Trade accounts receivable due to the Company from contracts with its customers are stated separately in the balance sheet, net of various allowances as described in the Trade Accounts Receivable policy in Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. to the 2020 Audited Financial Statements.
The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is equal to the amount of consideration that is expected to be received from the sale of product to its customers. Revenue is only recognized when itthe performance obligation is probable that a significant reversal will not occur in future periods.satisfied. To determine whether a significant reversal will occur in future periods, the Company assesses both the likelihood and magnitude of any such potential reversal of revenue.
Phexxi is sold to customers at the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC)., or in some cases at a discount to WAC. However, the Company records product revenue, net of reserves for applicable variable consideration. These types of variable consideration items reduce revenue and include the following:
•Distribution services fees
•Prompt pay and other discounts
•Product returns
•Chargebacks
•Rebates
•Co-payment assistancePatient support programs, including our co-pay programs
An estimate for each variable consideration item is made with each sale and is recorded in conjunction with the revenue being recognized. To calculate the variable consideration, the Company uses the expected value method. If the estimated amount is payable to a customer, it is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable. If the estimated amount is payable to an entity other than a customer, it is recorded as a current liability. An estimated amount of variable consideration may differ from the actual amount. At each balance sheet date, these provisions are analyzed and adjustments are made if necessary. Any adjustments made to these provisions would also affect net product revenue and earnings.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company must make significant judgments to determine the estimate for certain variable consideration. For example, the companyCompany must estimate the percentage of end-users that will obtain the product through public insurance such as Medicaid or through private commercial insurance. To determine these estimates, the Company relies on historical sales data showing the amount of various end-user consumer types, inventory reports from the wholesale distributors and mail-order specialty pharmacy, and other relevant data reports. However, becauseBecause Phexxi was launched in September 2020, this historical data is limited. The Company compensated for this lack ofDue to limits on historical data, withthe Company has also used trend analysis industry standard data, and professional judgment.judgment in developing these estimates.
The specific considerations that the Company uses in estimating these amounts related to variable considerationsconsideration are as follows.follows:
Distribution services fees – The Company pays distribution service fees to its wholesale distributors and mail-order specialty pharmacy. These fees are a contractually fixed percentage of WAC, and are calculated at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. The Company considers these fees to be separate from the customer’s purchase of the product, therefore, they are recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Prompt pay and other discounts – The Company incentivizes its customers to pay their invoices on time through prompt pay discounts. These discounts are an industry standard practice, and the companyCompany offers a prompt pay discount to each wholesale distributor customer. The specific prompt pay terms vary by customer and are contractually fixed. Prompt pay discounts are typically taken by the Company’s customers, so an estimate of the discount is recorded at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. Prompt pay discount estimates are recorded as contra trade accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company may also give other discounts to its customers to incentivize purchases and promote customer loyalty. The terms of such discounts may vary by customer. These discounts reduce gross product revenue at the time the revenue is recorded.
Product returns – Customers have the right to return product that is within six months or less of the labeled expiration date or that is past the expiration date by no more than six months. Phexxi was commercially launched in September 2020 and there were no returns as of September 30, 2020. Due to the lack of historical data, the Company used professional judgment to estimate returns based on industry data for similar products. As time passes and historical data becomes available, the Company will begin to use historical sales and return data to estimate future product returns.
Certain wholesale distributors also have the ability to return product that is related to the initial stocking order for the Phexxi product launch. The specific terms for this type of product return vary by the specific wholesale distributor agreement. Product return estimates and recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.recognized.
Chargebacks – Certain government entities and covered entities (e.g. Veterans Administration, 340B covered entities) will beare able to purchase the product at a price discounted below WAC. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing agreements with these types of entities. The difference between the government or covered entity purchase price and the wholesale distributor purchase price of WAC will be charged back to the Company. The Company estimates the amount in chargebacksof each chargeback channel based on the expected number of claims in each channel and related costchargeback that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Estimated chargebacks are recorded as contra trade accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Rebates – The Company will beis subject to mandatory discount obligations under the Medicaid and Tricare programs. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing these agreements with Medicaid and Tricare. The rebate amounts for these programs are determined by statutory requirements or contractual arrangements. Rebates are owed after the product has been dispensed to an end user and the Company has been invoiced. Rebates for Medicaid and Tricare are typically invoiced in arrears. The Company estimates the amount in rebates based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Rebate estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Co-payment assistancePatient support programs - The– One type of patient support program the Company offers is a co-payment assistanceco-pay program to commercially insured patients whose insurance requires a co-paymentco-pay to be made when filling their prescription. This is a voluntary program that is intended to provide financial assistance to patients meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company estimates the amount of co-paymentfinancial assistance for these programs based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Co-payment assistancePatient support programs estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Product returns – Customers have the right to return product that is within six months or less of the labeled expiration date or that is past the expiration date by no more than six months. Phexxi was commercially launched in September 2020 and there have been minimal returns as of June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the accrued balance associated with variable considerations discussed above was approximately $2.1 million.
4.Inventories
Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overheads, are stated at the lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, or shelf-life expiration. The evaluation includes an analysis of the Company’s current and future strategic plans, anticipated future sales, the price projections of future demand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. To the extent that management determines there are excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for the Company to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, the Company adjusts the carrying value to estimated net realizable value in accordance with the first-in, first-out inventory costing method.
The Company began to capitalize the inventory costs associated with Phexxi in April 2020 when it was determined that the inventory had a probable future economic benefit. These inventory costs include all purchased materials, direct labor
and manufacturing overhead. Prior to April 2020, costs incurred for the manufacture of Phexxi were recorded as research and development expenses.

With the completion of the underwritten public offering in June 2020 as further discussed in Note 11-10- Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), the conversion price of the Baker Notes and the exercise price of the Baker Warrants is $2.44. The Baker Warrants have a five-year term with a cashless exercise provision and are immediately exercisable at any time from their respective issuance date.
The Baker Notes have a five-year term, with no pre-payment ability. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Baker Notes (the Baker Outstanding Balance) accrues at 10.0% per annum with interest accrued during the first year from the two respective closing dates recognized as payment-in-kind. Accrued interest beyond the first year of the respective closing dates are to be paid in arrears on a quarterly basis in cash or recognized as payment-in-kind, at the direction of the Purchasers.
Interest expense for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was approximately $0.7 million and $1.0$1.4 million, respectively, which is includedrespectively. The Baker Purchasers elected to have the accrued interest for first quarter of 2021 paid-in-kind, and the accrued interest for the second quarter of 2021 paid in convertible notes payable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020.cash.

Purchase Agreement, or 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the VWAP is less than such benchmark price. The Baker Purchasers also have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Baker Notes in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. In a repurchase event, as defined in the SecuritiesBaker Bros. Purchase Agreement, the repurchase price will equal 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. In an event of default or the Company’s change of control, the repurchase price will
equal to the sum of (x) 3 times of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus (y) the aggregate value of future interest that would have accrued. Collectively, these options are the “Embedded Features” of the Baker Notes.
The Company's stockholders approved the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Baker Notes and the exercise of the Baker Warrants in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d) at its special meeting of stockholders held on June 18, 2020 (the Approval Date).
the Embedded Features required bifurcation as a separate component of equity.

Warrants

Summary of Assumptions
The fair value of noncash stock-based compensation for stock options granted to employees and non-employees was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted for the periods indicated.
| | | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2020 | | 2019 | | 2020 | | 2019 | | 2021 | | 2020 | | 2021 | | 2020 |

Expected volatility. The expected volatility assumption is based on volatilities of a peer group of similar companies whose share prices are publicly available. The peer group was developed based on companies in the biotechnology industry.
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock option grants.
Expected dividend yield. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.
Expected term. The expected term represents the period options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected term assumption using the practical expedient as provided for under ASC 718, Compensation - StockCompensation-Stock Compensation, which is the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In November 2014, Neothetics adopted the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2014 ESPP), which initially authorized the issuance of 28,333 shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees, and an additional 258,672 evergreen shares were added to the total shares authorized on January 1, 2019.

The 2019 ESPP enables eligible full-time and part-time employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of between 1% and 15% of eligible compensation during an offering period. A new offering period begins approximately every June 15 and December 15. At the last business day of each offering period, the accumulated contributions made during the offering period will be used to purchase shares. The purchase price is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or the last business day of an offering period. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased by any participant during an offering period will be equal to $25,000 divided by the fair market value of the common stock on the first business day of an offering period.

The fair value of shares to be issued to employees under the 2019 ESPP is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the grant date, which requires the use of subjective and complex assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) the expected dividend yield. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the calculation of fair value of shares under the 2019 ESPP at the grant dates for the period indicated.

We refer to this trial as EVOGUARD)“EVOGUARD”.
Phexxi as a Contraceptive and Launch StrategiesPhexxi: Our Non-hormonal, On-Demand Birth Control
On September 8, 2020, weWe commercially launched Phexxi in September 2020 with a sales force promoting Phexxi directly to obstetrician/gynecologists and their affiliated health professionals, who collectively write the United States as the firstmajority of prescriptions for contraceptive products. Our sales force comprises approximately 70 regional sales representatives and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, hormone-free, woman-controlled, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel. business managers, supported by a self-guided virtual health care provider (HCP) learning platform. Additionally, we offer women direct access to Phexxi via our telehealth platform where women can directly meet with an HCP to determine their eligibility for a Phexxi prescription.
Our ongoing comprehensive commercial strategy for Phexxi launch strategy includes marketing and public relationsproduct awareness campaigns targeting the 21 million femaleswomen in the United States of reproductive potential, including the approximately 23 million women who are not using hormonal contraception and the approximately 18.8 million women who are using a prescription contraceptive, some of whom, particularly pill users, may be ready to move to an FDA-approved, non-invasive hormone-free contraceptive, as well as certain identified target health care providerHCP segments; payer outreach; implementation of the Phexxi Concierge Experience, our comprehensive tele-medicine support system; and execution of our consumer digital and media strategy.
We commercially launchedAccording to our post-commercial launch market research, HCPs indicated they would recommend Phexxi with a hybrid sales force comprising regional business representatives, regional business managers, a tele-sales communication platform, and a self-guided, virtual health care provider learning platform. Our sales force is comprisedto approximately 60% of experienced, successful health care sales representativespatients who are leveraging their established relationshipscurrently using natural contraceptive methods, approximately 58% of patients who are currently using over-the-counter contraceptive products and approximately 26% of patients who are currently using prescription contraception or methods requiring an HCP to gain accessperform a procedure. Additional research into the demographics of more than 1,300 women who are using Phexxi reveals that 60% of Phexxi users are between the ages of 18 to health care providers34 years of age. Among the subset of Phexxi users for whom prior contraceptive data is available (n=413), 39% of women who had recently started Phexxi even in the COVID-19 environment.switched over from either an oral contraceptive, hormone patch/ring, or long-acting reversible contraception.
In December 2020 two U.S. patents that cover Phexxi and its labeled indication were listed in the U.S. FDA publication Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the Orange Book. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandatesOrange Book listing of these two patents covering Phexxi’s composition of matter and its method of use in prevention of pregnancy is an important step in the ongoing development of our patent portfolio, which currently covers Phexxi into 2033. The newly listed method of use patent, number 10,568,855 (the ‘855 patent), covers contraception using the L-lactic acid Phexxi formulation. The ‘855 patent was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on February 25, 2020 and is expected to expire in March 2033. The newly listed patent number 6,706,276 (the ‘276 patent) is a composition of matter patent covering Phexxi. Evofem has an exclusive license to this patent, which is held by Rush University. The ‘276 patent was issued by the USPTO on March 16, 2004 and is expected to expire in March 2026 if the five-year patent term extension application that was timely filed by the patent owner is granted. The patents we licensed from Rush University expired in March 2021 outside the U.S. and are currently set to expire in March 2022 inside the U.S. pursuant to an Order Granting Interim Extension that extended the expiration of the U.S. patent. In 2020, Rush University submitted a patent term extension (PTE) application for the U.S. patent requesting a five-year PTE to 2026. We have not yet been granted the PTE, and there is no assurance that it will be granted for the full five-year term, if at all.
On February 14, 2021, we launched a direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, known as “Get Phexxi,” designed to increase awareness and educate women must receive theiron the benefits of Phexxi. The campaign highlights some of the struggles women face when choosing among the many available methods of contraception, including the lack of control with condoms, constant daily use of the pill, and abstinence required for cycle tracking.
We are collaborating with the National Community Oncology Dispensing Association, Inc. (NCODA), an educational platform for community and academic oncology practices nationwide, to positively impact the quality of life for female patients living with, fighting and recovering from cancer by raising awareness about the importance and availability of Phexxi as a birth control option. Every year in the United States, more than 800,000 new cases of cancer are reported among women, and many
cancer treatment protocols require female patients of reproductive potential to use birth control while undergoing treatment. Until the introduction of Phexxi, non-hormonal prescription contraception options were starkly limited; previously, women were generally steered toward condoms or the copper IUD, a prescription medical device that is implanted in the uterus where it releases copper ions and can cause inflammation.
We are working together with NCODA to develop and share resources and educational information for the medically-integrated oncology pharmacy team to help support female cancer patients in deciding which contraceptive option best meets each woman's unique, individual needs. In May 2021, the NCODA published a Positive Quality Intervention (PQI) in connection with Phexxi, and in July 2021 our CEO and Phexxi were featured on NCODA’s PQI Podcast. PQIs are part of the NCODA Quality Standards. These resources are designed to operationalize and standardize practices to achieve positive outcomes for patients. Additionally, our CEO delivered the keynote address at the NCODA 2021 National Spring Forum, and two posters on data sets presenting relevant aspects of the Phase 3 AMPOWER trial evaluating Phexxi were presented at the conference.
We continue working to increase the number of lives covered and to gain preferred formulary position for Phexxi. As of July 2021, we had obtained coverage for approximately 55% of U.S. commercial lives, including approximately 9 million lives covered at no out-of-pocket cost with at least one productand approximately 13.7 million lives covered under our December 2020 contract award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. On January 1, 2021, the U.S. Medicaid population gained access to Phexxi through our participation in eachthe Medicaid National Drug Rebate Program. Medicaid provides health coverage to approximately 68 million members, including approximately 16.8 million women 19-49 years of age.
Phexxi is classified in the 18 categories that defined by the ACA. In June 2020,databases and pricing compendia of Medi-Span and First Databank, two major drug information databases that payers consult for pricing and product information, granted Phexxi a new classification in their databases and pricing compendia as the first and only “Vaginal pH Modulator.” We believe that a new 19th category of contraception should be established for vaginal pH modulators such as Phexxi.
We are working with the FDA’s Office of Women’s Health and Health Resources and Services Administration to update their birth control tables accordingly.its Birth Control Guide to also include a new category for vaginal pH modulators as we believe the current guide is outdated and medically inaccurate. Phexxi’s unique mechanism of action is neither a spermicide nor a barrier contraceptive method and does not fit into any of the existing 18 contraceptive categories. Payers (including pharmacy benefit managers) use the Birth Control Guide to determine which methods they need to cover under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.
Phexxi’s listing with Medi-Span and First Databank, coupled with our timely response to payer clinical requests and our clinical presentation, have enabled us to shorten typical payer review times, which can otherwise take up to 180 days. We had coverage for 55% of commercial lives at launch in September 2020, reflecting positive coverage determinations for Phexxi by many regional plans. Discussions with all major commercial payers are ongoing, and we expect most remaining insurers to review Phexxi before the end of the first quarter in 2021.
EVO100: Our STI Preventive Product Candidate
Evofem'sOur lead product candidate, EVO100, is an antimicrobial vaginal gel under evaluation for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women - two of the most pervasive sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. Currently, there are no FDA‑approved prescription products for the prevention of either of these commonly reported sexually transmitted infections.
In December 2019, we reported positive top-line results from our double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial of EVO100 for the prevention of chlamydia infection and gonorrhea infection in women. The trial, known as AMPREVENCE, enrolled 860 women at 50 sites in the United States for a four-month interventional period followed by a one-month follow-up period. AMPREVENCE met both its primary and secondary endpoints of reducing the risk of chlamydia and gonorrhea infection, respectively.
In this landmark study, the infection rate of chlamydia among women who used EVO100 for the four-month study period was 4.9% (n=14/288) compared to 9.8% among those who used placebo for four months (n=28/287) (p=0.024), a relative risk reduction of 50% in the primary endpoint. Among the reported cases of gonorrhea infection, the infection rate was 0.7% in the EVO100 arm (n=2/280), compared to 3.2% in the placebo arm (n=9/277) (p=0.03), a relative risk reduction of 78% in the secondary endpoint. The study further demonstrated that EVO100 was generally safe and well tolerated. The number of adverse events was similar across both arms (7.2% for EVO100 and 7.5% for placebo) and no serious treatment-related adverse events were reported.
In October 2020, we initiated EVOGUARD for the prevention of urogenital transmission of both chlamydia infection and gonorrhea infection in women. This randomized, placebo-controlled pivotal trial is designed to enroll 1,730 women with prior infection of either chlamydia or gonorrhea and who are at risk for future infection with a 16-week interventional phase followed by a one-month follow-up period. We expect top-line EVOGUARD results in the second or third quarter of 2022.STIs.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea. Despite the CDC recommendation for condom use to prevent STIs, U.S. rates of infection forwith chlamydia and gonorrhea climbed in 20182019 for the fifthsixth consecutive year. Nearly 2.4 million domestic cases of these STIs were diagnosed in 2018, including 1.8 million newly reported chlamydia cases and approximately 580,000 newly reported gonorrhea cases. Based on these reports, an estimated 78 million women 18-65 years of age who are sexually active in the United States could be at risk to contract these STIs.
Based on the positive and statistically significant top-line results of our Phase 2B/3 AMPREVENCE trial, we initiated our Phase 3 EVOGUARD clinical trial in October 2020. This randomized, placebo-controlled pivotal trial is designed to enroll 1,730 women with a prior chlamydia or gonorrhea infection and who are at risk for onefuture infection. Participants are enrolled for a 16-week interventional phase followed by a one-month follow-up period. As of these sexually transmitted infections. The CDC also reported that gonorrheaJune 30, 2021, all 90 planned study sites have been activated and screening and enrollment is increasingly becoming antibiotic resistant, making it much harder, or sometimes impossible,underway. We expect to treat. Currently, there are no FDA-approved prescription productscomplete enrollment in the fourth quarter of 2021 and to report top-line EVOGUARD results in mid-2022. Assuming positive results from the trial, we expect to submit a supplemental New Drug Application for EVO100 by the preventionend of either of these dangerous infections.2022.
The FDA has granted Fast Track designationdesignations to EVO100 for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women andwomen. The FDA has designated itEVO100 a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the prevention of gonorrhea in women. QIDP designationwomen, which provides several important potential advantages, including qualification for the FDA Fast Track program and longer market exclusivity, among others.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The current COVID-19 worldwide pandemic has presented substantial public health and economic challenges and is affecting our employees, customers, communities and business operations, as well as the U.S. and global economies and financial markets. International and U.S. governmental authorities in impacted regions are taking actions in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, including issuing varying forms of “stay-at-home” orders, and restricting business functions outside of one’s home. In response, we have implemented a work-from-home policy for our employees. To date, our third-party manufacturer and suppliers have not experienced any interruptions or disruptions in their ability to manufacture Phexxi or to supply our manufacturer with raw materials, respectively. Nevertheless, the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic may interrupt or disrupt such manufacture and/or supply. Further, if our sales force is unable to visit health care providers and/or if our patients are unable to visit health care providers, this may also materially adversely affect our ability to sell Phexxi commercially. Similarly, the timing of the completion of EVOGUARD may be affected by COVID-19 and COVID-19 may directly or indirectly impact the timeline for data readouts, initiation of, as well as monitoring, data collection and analysis and other related activities for EVOGUARD and our other potential clinical trials. Our current expectations for how we will enroll EVOGUARD are based on an assumption that clinical trial and healthcare activities begin to normalize in the fourth quarter of 2020. Therefore, our assumptions around completion timing may prove to be incorrect, in particular if COVID-19 continues to spread. In light of recent developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, and consistent with the FDA’s updated industry guidance for conducting clinical trials, clinical trials may be deprioritized in favor of treating patients who have contracted the virus or to prevent the spread of the virus. This may lead to clinical trial protocol deviations or to discontinuation of treatment for patients who are then enrolled in our trials. Any disruptions in the commercialization of Phexxi and/or the initiation or completion of our clinical trials, data analysis or readouts and/or any disruption in our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic
will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

As previously discussed, on January 17, 2018 (the Closing Date), Neothetics, Inc. (Neothetics), now known as Evofem Biosciences, Inc., completed its reverse merger (the Merger) with privately-held Evofem Biosciences Operations, Inc. (Private Evofem) in accordance with the terms of an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization, dated October 17, 2017.exclusivity.
Financial Operations Overview
Net Product Sales
Our revenue recognition is based on unit shipments from our third-party logistics warehouse to our wholesalers. We have recognized limited net product sales in the United States since the commercial launch of Phexxi in September 2020. If2020; the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was our third full quarter of product sales.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, shipments to wholesale distributors and pharmacies grew significantly compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, driving an approximate 30% increase in gross revenues. Gross revenues, as discussed in Note 3- Revenue, were adjusted for variable consideration, including our patient support programs. The resulting increase in net revenues reflects the higher gross revenues as well as more favorable gross-to-net adjustments in the current period, driven by initiatives implemented in the second quarter of 2021 as part of our overall strategy to ensure access to Phexxi is approved for commercial sale outside of the United States, we expectand to build Phexxi usage and loyalty.
We intend to out-license commercialization rights for Phexxi to one or more pharmaceutical companies or other qualified potential partners for countries or enter into collaborationsregions outside of the United States. We are currently in discussion with potential partners for the commercialization and distribution of Phexxi, from which we may generate licensing revenue. However, wevarious geographies. We cannot forecast when suchor if these arrangements will be secured, if at all, andthe structure or potential amount of revenues from these arrangements, whether upfront, milestone-related or related to future Phexxi sales (assuming approval of Phexxi for commercial sale outside of the United States) or to what degree suchthese arrangements would affect our development plans, future revenues and overall capital requirements.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Company began to capitalize the inventory costs associated with Phexxi in April 2020 when it was determined that thethis inventory had a probable future economic benefit. These inventory costs include all purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Prior to April 2020, costs incurred for the manufacture of Phexxi were recorded as research and development expenses.
In addition, we are obligated to pay quarterly royalty payments pursuant to the first amendment to the amended and restatedour license agreement with Rush University Medical Center, dated March 27, 2014, as amendedin amounts equal to date, which are a single-digit percentage of the gross amountamounts we receive in the quarteron a quarterly basis less certain deductions incurred in the quarter based on a sliding scale. We are also obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty amount of $100,000 to the extent these earned royalties do not equal or exceed $100,000 in a given year. A minimum annual royalty amount of $100,000 iswas first required for the annual period commencing on January 1, 2021. SuchThis royalty payment was immaterialapproximately $0.1 million for the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and was included in the costs of goods sold in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Completion dates and costs for our clinical development programs may vary significantly for EVO100 and any future product candidate we may seek to develop and are difficult to predict. We anticipate that we will determine which programs and product candidates to pursue as well as the most appropriate funding allocations for each program and product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the results of ongoing and future clinical trials, regulatory developments, and our ongoing assessments of the commercial potential of each current or future product candidate. We expect aggregate research and development expenses to decreaseincrease significantly in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to completion of the clinical phase of AMPREVENCE in December 2019, partially offset by the initiation of EVOGUARD, which was initiated in October 2020. We willDepending on the Phexxi revenue trajectory, we may need to raise significant additional capital in the future to complete clinical development for EVO100 and any future product candidates.
The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a program owing to the following:
•per patient trial costs;
•the number of sites included in the trials;
•the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;
•the number of patients participating in the trials;
•the number of doses patients receive;
•potential additional safety monitoring or other trials requested by regulatory agencies;
•the phase of development of the product candidate; and
•the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate.
Selling and marketing expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of pre-commercialization salesPhexxi commercialization costs, including direct-to-consumer (DTC) and marketing expenses prior to launch,HCP advertising, the initiation of full commercialization activities in September 2020, and post-launch commercialization activities for the remainder of 2020, advertising,Phexxi telehealth platform, our recently initiated samples program, training, salaries, benefits, travel, noncash stock-based compensation expense, and other related costs for our employees and consultants as well as other costs associated with conducting commercial assessments for our product candidates.consultants.
We expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly in 2021 compared to 2020 due to the cost of our sales force, which was originally established in the third quarter of 2020, and as we continue to developPhexxi promotional strategies and commence associated marketing campaigns and initiatives, and hire additional personnel to support full commercialization activities in the United States for Phexxi.initiatives.
General and administrative expenses

Other general and administrative
expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development or selling and marketing, and
professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining and maintaining our patent portfolio.
We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as we hire additional personneldecrease slightly in 2021 compared to support the growth of our business2020 due to lower recruiting fees and commercialization activities.financing advisory fees.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest income, loss on issuance of financial instrumentsexpense and the change in fair value of financial instruments issued in various capital raise transactions. Loss on issuance of financial instruments was recognized upon issuance of such instruments to investors as they were determined as freestanding liability-classified financial instruments. The change in fair value of financial instruments was recognized as a result of mark-to-market adjustments for thesethose financial instruments.

The overall decrease also resulted from a $2.6 million reduction in outside services associated with the Phexxi New Drug Application for the prevention of pregnancy that was resubmitted to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2019. These aggregated decreases are partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in payroll related expenses and $0.8 million increase in noncash stock-based compensation due to increased headcount, and a $0.4 million increase in facilities costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we had working capital of $36.4$27.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $614.9$735.1 million. We have financed our operations to date primarily through the saleissuance of preferredcommon stock and units, common stock,warrants, cash received from private placement transactions, the issuance of convertible notes interest earned on investments, cash received in the Merger, related-party advances and, to a note payable from Cosmederm Biosciences, Inc., a prior related party. At Septemberlesser extent, product sales. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $86.7$47.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.equivalents, and $14.9 million in restricted cash from the Adjuvant notes that is available for use. Our cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in checking accounts, money market funds, and investments in fixed income debt securities with original maturities of less than three months. Our short-term investments consist of held-to-maturity securities that mature in one year or less. We invest cash in excess of immediate requirements in accordance with our investment policy, which limits the amounts we may invest in any one type of investment and requires all investments held by us to maintain minimum ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations so as to primarily achieve liquidity and capital preservation.
We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we received gross proceeds of $25.0 million from the issuance of convertible notes in the second quarter of 2020, net proceeds of approximately $103.7$28.0 million upon the sale and issuance of common stock from ouran underwritten public offering in March 2021 (the March 2021 Public OfferingOffering). In April 2021, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in June 2020,full and netwe received additional proceeds of $3.8approximately $4.2 million, net of underwriting discounts. We received proceeds of approximately $46.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and fees, upon the sale and issuance of common stock and warrants from our ATM program.an underwritten public offering in May 2021 (the May 2021 Public Offering). In May 2021, the underwriters also exercised their overallotment option to purchase common stock and common
warrants and we received additional proceeds of approximately $2.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, both net of underlying discounts.
We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect research and development expenses to decreaseincrease significantly in 20202021 compared to 20192020 due to completion of the clinical phase of our AMPREVENCE trial for EVO100 in December 2019,Phase 3 EVOGUARD study which is partially offset by the initiation of our EVOGUARD trialwas initiated in October 2020. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly in 2021 compared to 2020 and beyond due to the hiringdeployment of our commercial sales force that was originally established in the third quarter of 2020, and as we develop and commenceexecute associated marketing campaignspromotional strategies and initiatives, including our direct-to-consumer programs, which are designed to drive update of and revenue from Phexxi.DTC programs. Lastly, we expect general and administrative expenses to increasedecrease slightly in 2021 compared to 2020 as we hire additional personneldue to lower recruiting fees and engage third parties to support the growth of our business and the commercialization of Phexxi in the United States.financing advisory fees. According to management estimates, our liquidity resources as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 are not sufficient to maintain our planned level of operations for the next 12 months. In addition, the uncertainties associated with our ability to obtain additional equity financing on terms that are favorable to us or at all, enter into collaborative agreements with strategic partners, and succeed in our future operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 appearingincluded in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue our operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused us to delay the commercial launch of Phexxi until September 2020 and has impacted the terms on which we have been able to raise funds. Our ability to raise additional funds, and the terms on which those funds may be raised, will be dependent, in part, on how successful the launchcommercialization of Phexxi, is and, whether we are able to gain revenue traction prior to raising such additional funds.funds and the success of our research and development efforts. If the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts orcontinues to disrupt and negatively impactsimpact the commercialization of Phexxi or our research and development efforts, our ability to raise additional funds may be negatively impacted, or we may not be able to obtain such funding on terms favorable to us.us or at all. If we are not able to obtain required additional funding, through equity financings or other means, or if we are unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to us, the shortfall in funds raised, or such unfavorable terms, will likely have a material adverse effect on our operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise the funding necessary to implement our current strategic development plan, we may be forced to make reductions in spending, suspend or terminate development programs, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, and/or suspend or curtail planned programs.programs, and/or cease operations. Any of these developments would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and business prospects and could even cause us to be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and, in doing so, we may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements. Any of these developments would materially and adversely affect the price of our stock and the value of your investment.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements
Our specific future operating and capital expense requirements are difficult to forecast. For example,forecast, however, we expect to incur additional capital expenditures to expand manufacturing capacity for Phexxi but cannot adequately predictcan anticipate the future cost or other potential capital expenditure requirements, if any. We also have future contractual obligations for the 2020 Leasegeneral types of expenses and Fleet Leaseareas in which they might occur as discussed in Note 8- Commitments and Contingencies, and will incur additional capital expenditures for leasehold improvements associated with the 2020 Lease.
We expect research and development expenses to decrease in 2020 due to completion of the clinical phase of AMPREVENCE trial for EVO100 in December 2019. However,follows: we expect research and development expenses will begin to increase in the fourth quarter of the year with the initiation of the EVOGUARD trial in October 2020. The process of conducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming and we may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for EVO100 or our other future product candidates. The probability of success for each product candidate will be affected by numerous factors, including preclinical data, clinical trial data, competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We are responsible for all research and development expenses for our programs.
We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly due to our sales force which was originally established in the third quarter of 2020, and as2021, while we continue to develop and commence associated marketing campaigns and initiatives, including our direct-to-consumer programs.
We expect general and administrative expenses to increase as we hire additional personneldecrease slightly in 2021 due to support the growth of our business and further commercialization activities, and as we engage third parties to assist inreasons stated under the commercialization of Phexxi in the United States.Operating Expenses section above.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the applicable periods. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments, on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different estimates, assumptions and judgments may change the estimate used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could materially change our results from those
reported. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis. However, if our assumptions change, we may need to revise our estimates, or take other corrective actions, either of which may also have a material adverse effect on our consolidated statements of operations, liquidity and financial condition. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve significant areas where management applies estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 22- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our 20192020 Audited Financial Statements for our additional accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition and Trade Accounts Receivable
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product Phexxi in accordance with ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(ASC (ASC 606). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer. Per the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. The Company’s customers consist of wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, and a mail-order specialty pharmacy. Payment terms typically range from 45 to 66 days, include prompt pay discounts, and vary by customer.

The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is equal to the amount of consideration which is expected to be received from the sale of product to its customers. Revenue is only recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur in future periods. To determine this,the amount of revenue to recognize, the Company assesses both the likelihood and magnitude of any such potential reversal of revenue.

Clinical Trial Accruals
As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate expenses resulting from our obligations under contracts with vendors, CROs and consultants and under clinical site agreements relating to conducting our clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts vary and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts.
Our objective is to reflect the appropriate clinical trial expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements by recording those expenses in the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. We account for these expenses according to the progress of the clinical trial as measured by patient progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. We determine accrual estimates through financial models and discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials.
During a clinical trial, we adjust the clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from estimates. We make estimates of accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known at that time. Our
clinical trial accruals are partially dependent upon accurate reporting by CROs and other third-party vendors. Although we do not expect estimates to differ materially from actual amounts, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any reporting period. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, there were no material adjustments to our prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.
Fair Value of the Baker Notes
We elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments,, for the Baker Notes issued pursuant to that certain Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement with the Baker Purchasers, and Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as designated agent, dated April 23, 2020, as they are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the fair value option, we recognized the hybrid debt instrument at fair value inclusive of embedded features. The fair value of the Baker Notes issued, and the change in fair value of the Baker Notes at the reporting date, were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model. Monte Carlo simulation was used to take into account several embedded features and factors including the future value of our common stock, a potential change of control event, the maturity term of the Baker Notes, the probability of an event of voluntary conversion of the Baker Notes, exercise of the put right, and exercise of our call right.
Fair Value of Stock Options and Warrants
The fair value of stock options and warrants issued in various financing occasions in connection with the Merger and post- Merger,transactions, the change in fair value of options and warrants as a result of the modification,any modifications to these instruments, and mark-to-market adjustments for liability classified warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes Merton option-pricing model based on the applicable assumptions, which includesinclude the exercise price of these options and warrants, time to expiration, expected volatility of our peer group of companies, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.
Fair Value of Purchase Rights
The fair value of the rights granted to the Baker Purchase RightsPurchasers to optionally purchase from the Company up to $10.0 million of Baker Notes, as described in Note 5- Convertible Notes, at the Baker Purchasers’ discretion at any time prior to the Company receiving at least $100.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from one or more sales of equity securities issued in connection with the SecuritiesBaker Bros. Purchase Agreement, as described in Note 5-5- Convertible Notes,, and the change in fair value of the Baker Purchase RightsPurchasers’ option to purchase from the Company up to $10.0 million of Baker Notes upon exercise of such rights, was determined as the maximum of (i) the fair value of rights to purchase the additional $10$10.0 million Baker Notes and; (ii) the fair value of the shares of on as-if converted basis, which was determined by the lattice model. The fair value of rights to purchase the accompanying 2,409,180 Baker Warrants2,049,180 warrants was valued using a Geske option-pricing model. The Geske model was based on the applicable assumptions, including the underlying stock price, warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the rights to purchase the Baker Warrants,warrants, the term of the Baker Warrants,warrants, the term of the rights to purchase the Baker Warrants ,warrants, expected volatility of the Company’s peer group, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.
The fair value of the Private Placement Purchase Rights issued in the Private Placement, and the change in fair value of the Private Placement Purchase Rights on the Private Placement Approval Date, was determined using a combination of a lattice model and Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The lattice model was used to determine the future value of our common stock. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was based on the applicable assumptions, including the future value of the Company's common stock as determined by the lattice model, warrant exercise price, time to expiration, expected volatility of our peer group, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease or implicitly contains a lease at inception based on the lease definition, and if the lease is classified as an operating lease or finance lease in accordance with ASC 842. Leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date or the adoption date of January 1, 2019 for existing leases based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using an estimated discount rate. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date or the adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments over a similar term. In determining the estimated incremental borrowing rate, we considered a rate obtained from its primary banker for discussion purposes of a potential collateralized loan with a term similar to the lease term, our historical borrowing capability in the market, and our costs incurred for underwriting discounts and financing costs in its previous equity financing. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease and non-lease components within a contract are generally accounted for separately.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overheads, are stated at the lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, or shelf-life expiration. The evaluation includes an analysis of our current and future strategic plans, anticipated future sales, the price projections of future demand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for us to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, we adjust the carrying value to estimated net realizable value.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.Act. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
