Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 30, 2023. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “goal,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements and reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.

Overview
We are a biomedical company focused on meeting significant unmet needs for women worldwide with a broad portfolio of in-office, accessible solutions, including a lead late-clinical stage product candidate and innovative therapeutic and diagnostic products. We are a woman-founded and led company with an expansive, internally created intellectual property portfolio with over 150 patents globally, in- house chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) and device manufacturing capabilities and proven ability to develop and commercialize products. Our suite of products and product candidates address what we believe are multi-billion dollar global market segments in which there has been little advancement for many years, helping women avoid pharmaceutical solutions, implants and surgery that can be expensive and expose women to harm. With an initial focus in the area of reproductive health, our lead product candidate offers a solution for permanent birth control (FemBloc) and infertility treatment with our FemaSeed product for intratubal artificial insemination, which received FDA 510(k) clearance in September 2023.
Corporate Update
On April 18, 2023, we announced that Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, has granted product approval of FemaSeed, the first-ever infertility solution designed to deliver sperm directly to where contraception occurs. FemaSeed is Femasys’ intratubal artificial insemination option that is designed to be less invasive and more affordable than assisted reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
On May 3, 2023, we announced that Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, has granted product approval of FemCerv, the first endocervical tissue sampler (curette) designed to collect and contain a comprehensive sample to maximize quality and quantity in a relatively pain-free manner. FemCerv is designed to improve the existing standard of care to diagnose the presence of cancerous cells in a woman’s cervix.
On June 8, 2023, we announced that Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, has granted product approval of FemCath, the first intrauterine catheter which involves placement of balloon technology close to the opening of a selected fallopian tube for directed delivery of contrast.
On June 26, 2023, we announced FDA approval of our IDE to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FemBloc, our non-surgical, non-implant, in-office solution for permanent birth control in a pivotal clinical trial.
On July 27, 2023, we announced a notice of allowance for a new U.S. patent application covering use of FemBloc for female permanent birth control.
On August 3, 2023, we announced initiation of enrollment in pivotal trial of our permanent birth control candidate FemBloc and we expect that the resulting patent, when issued, will have an anticipated expiration in 2039 at the earliest.
On August 31, 2023, we announced that we obtained a Medical Device Establishment License from Health Canada that allows us to directly sell our four products, FemaSeed®, FemVue®, FemCath® and FemCerv®, in Canada.
On September 25, 2023, we announced FDA 510(k) clearance of our intratubal artificial insemination product FemaSeed.
On October 11, 2023, we regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, after having received a notice on June 1, 2023 from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with such requirement. We are now in compliance with all applicable Nasdaq listing standards.
Clinical Update
FemaSeed – Our Intratubal Artificial Insemination Solution. In April 2021 we received an IDE approval from FDA that allowed us to initiate a pivotal trial for the FemaSeed device. The first subject was enrolled in July 2021. In October 2022, we announced an updated study design for the pivotal trial, which now focuses on couples experiencing male factor infertility. This update reflects a revised strategy to address this underserved population experiencing infertility with a goal of facilitating accelerated enrollment. Completion of enrollment is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023 followed by a planned submission of the results from the trial for publication. In September 2023 the Company announced 510(k) clearance from the FDA for FemaSeed intratubal insemination with no restrictions in patient population.
FemBloc – Our Permanent Birth Control Solution. In June 2023 we received FDA approval of our IDE to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FemBloc, our non-surgical, non-implant, in-office solution for permanent birth control in a pivotal clinical trial. In August 2023 we announced the initiation of enrollment in the FINALE [Prospective Multi-Center Trial for FemBloc INtratubal Occlusion for TranscervicAL PErmanent Birth Control] pivotal trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FemBloc. This prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm study design includes pregnancy rate as the primary endpoint, which will be analyzed once 401 women have used FemBloc for one year for permanent birth control. In addition, the study is designed as a roll-in beginning with enrollment of 50 women for a clinical readout primarily of preliminary safety data prior to enrolling the remaining subjects. An interim analysis of clinical data endpoints is planned once 300 women have used FemBloc for permanent birth control for one year. Follow-up will continue annually for five years post-market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of liquidity
Since our inception through September 30, 2023, our operations have been financed primarily by net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and convertible preferred stock, indebtedness and, to a lesser extent, product revenue. As of September 30, 2023, we had $8,692,435 of cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $103,971,175.
On July 1, 2022, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. (the “Sales Agent”) and filed a related Prospectus establishing an “at-the-market” facility, pursuant to which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $8,800,000 from time to time through the Sales Agent pursuant to the Prospectus. As of September 30, 2023, 54,120 shares of our common stock have been sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement. In April 2023, the Company suspended its at-the-market facility with the Sales Agent. The at-the-market facility was subsequently reinstated in October 2023, and the Sales Agent was authorized to sell up to $16.7 million shares at current market prices until all shares are sold. In October 2023, we sold 3,256,754 shares under the facility, resulting in gross cash proceeds of $7,661,587.
On April 18, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 3,196,722 of its shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents) at a purchase price of $1.22 per share (or common stock equivalent) in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. In a concurrent private placement, we also issued and sold unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,196,722 shares of common stock (“April 2023 Financing”). The gross proceeds from this offering was $3,899,813, which closed on April 20, 2023. The net proceeds to us from this offering was $3,352,049, after deducting placement agent fees expenses and offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. In September 2023, 796,722 common warrants and 122,994 placement agent warrants were exercised for cash proceeds of $1,059,975. In October 2023, 2,400,000 common warrants were exercised for cash proceeds of $2,628,000.
Funding requirements
Based on our current operating plan, our current cash and cash equivalents, along with the net proceeds from our recent financings and warrant exercises are expected to be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations at least 12 months from the date of filing these financial statements. Our estimate as to how long we expect our existing cash and cash equivalents to be able to continue to fund our operations is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate.
Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and cash received subsequent to quarter end will be sufficient to fund our lead product candidate through Part A of the pivotal trial, however, we anticipate needing to raise additional capital to complete the clinical development for our lead product candidate through regulatory approval, development and commercialization of our other product candidates. We can give no assurances that we will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support our operations, or if such funds will be available to us, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet our needs or be on terms acceptable to us. This risk may increase if economic and market conditions deteriorate. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when needed, we may need to terminate, significantly modify, or delay the development of our lead product candidate, or we may need to obtain funds through collaborations or otherwise on terms that may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently. If we are unable to raise adequate additional capital as and when required in the future, we could be forced to cease development activities and terminate our operations, and you could experience a complete loss of your investment.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements appearing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed on March 30, 2023, we believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.
Revenue recognition
Our policy is to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of the promised goods under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-05, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which we adopted effective January 1, 2018. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods, and we have elected to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price. We do not have multiple performance obligations in our customer orders, so revenue is recognized upon shipment of our goods based upon contractually stated pricing at standard payment terms ranging from 30 to 60 days. All revenue is recognized point in time and no revenue is recognized over time.
The majority of products sold directly to U.S. customers are shipped via common carrier, and the customer pays for shipping and handling and assumes control Free on Board (FOB) shipping point. Products shipped to our international distributors are in accordance with their respective agreements; however, the shipping terms are generally EX-Works, reflecting that control is assumed by the distributor at the shipping point. Returns are only accepted with prior authorization from the Company. Items to be returned must be in original unopened cartons and are subject to a 30% restocking fee. As of September 30, 2023, we have not had a history of significant returns.
Accrued expenses
We accrue expenses for estimated costs of R&D activities conducted by our third-party service providers, which include the conduct of preclinical studies and clinical trials. We record the estimated costs of R&D activities based upon the estimated amount of services provided but not yet invoiced. These costs, at times, may be a significant component of the research and development expenses and the Company makes estimates in determining the accrued expense each period. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accrual. These accrued R&D costs are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet and within R&D expense on the statement of comprehensive loss.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Not applicable.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting 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) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within a company are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that 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 may not be detected.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time we may be involved in legal proceedings arising in connection with our business. Based on information currently available, we believe that the amount, or range, of reasonably possible losses in connection with any pending actions against us in excess of established reserves, in the aggregate, is not material to our consolidated financial condition or cash flows. However, losses may be material to our operating results for any particular future period, depending on the level of income for such period.
As of the date of this report, there are no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities |
None.
Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
Item 4. | Mine Safety Disclosures |
Not applicable.
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers have adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
