The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Veru Inc. (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Veru” or the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for reporting of interim financial information. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, these statements do not include all the disclosures normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.

The preparation of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented.

Principles of consolidation and nature of operations: Veru Inc. is referred to in these notes collectively with its subsidiaries as “we,” “our,” “us,” “Veru” or the “Company.” The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Veru and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aspen Park Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (APP) and The Female Health Company Limited, and The Female Health Company Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Female Health Company (UK) plc (The Female Health Company Limited and The Female Health Company (UK) plc, collectively, the “U.K. subsidiary”), and The Female Health Company (UK) plc’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Female Health Company (M) SDN.BHD (the “Malaysia subsidiary”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company with a principal focus on developing novel medicines for COVID-19 and other viral and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)-related diseases, and for the management of breast and prostate cancers. The Company has multiple drug products under clinical development. The Company also has two approved products: ENTADFI, a new treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia that was approved by the FDA in December 2021, and the FC2 Female Condom/FC2 Internal Condom® (FC2), an FDA-approved product for the dual protection against unplanned pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. All of the Company’s net revenues during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 and most of the Company’s net revenues during the six months ended March 31, 2021 were derived from sales of FC2.

Segments: We regularly review our operating segments and the approach used by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. Prior to the commercialization of ENTADFI, we managed two distinct business segments: Pharmaceuticals, which engaged exclusively in research and development activities and FC2, which included the Company’s single commercial product. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, as a result of added commercialization efforts related to ENTADFI, the Company now operates as a single operating segment. Our determination that we operate as a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting for future periods. Our CODM allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis.

Other comprehensive (loss) income: Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net (loss) income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, these items, along with net (loss) income, are components of other comprehensive loss. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, comprehensive (loss) income is equivalent to the reported net (loss) income.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements: In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis effective October 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not impact our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
