CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements are based upon management’s assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. Except for historical information, the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking words such as “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “strategy,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “should” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and operational, economic and financial performance are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are only predictions, and actual results and the timing of certain events and circumstances may differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, Petros’ ability to execute on its business strategy, including its plans to develop and commercialize Stendra(R) OTC; Petros’ ability to comply with obligations as a public reporting company; Petros’ ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards; the ability of Petros to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; the risk that the financial performance of Petros may not be as anticipated by the merger transactions that resulted in the Company’s creation; risks resulting from Petros’ status as an emerging growth company, including that reduced disclosure requirements may make shares of Petros common stock less attractive to investors; Petros’ ability to continue as a going concern; risks related to Petros’ history of incurring significant losses; risks related to Petros’ dependence on the commercialization of a single product, Stendra®; risks related to Petros’ ability to obtain regulatory approvals for, or market acceptance of, any of its products or product candidates. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements are described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in “Risk Factor Summary” and in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” in Petros’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC, particularly our annual reports on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K. Petros cautions readers that the forward-looking statements included in, or incorporated by reference into, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions only as of the date hereof and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, Petros cannot assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

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

PETROS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on expanding consumer access to medication through over-the-counter (OTC) drug development programs.Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). Petros was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting certain transactions between Petros, Metuchen, Neurotrope, and certain subsidiaries of Petros (collectively the “Mergers”). The Mergers were consummated on December 1, 2020. The Company is engaged in the commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which the Company has licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also markets its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV. In addition to ED products, we had an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize H100™, a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease, which license was terminated by the Company on May 11, 2023.

The Company manages its operations through two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, both of which focus on the treatment of male ED. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. Expenses related to the development of H100™, prior to the license termination in May 2023, which was in the early stages of development and had not yet sought FDA approval to begin Phase 1 clinical trials, were categorized under the Prescription Medications segment. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally.

The Company’s priority is the ability to sell Stendra® Over-The-Counter (“OTC”). The company has continued to progress in its development program. Recently, the Company has conducted three engagements with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewing data and receiving guidance, launched a second pivotal Label Comprehension Study incorporating FDA feedback, and has begun to integrate supportive technology in response to recent FDA industry-wide guidance and proposed rules.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, actual results could differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

All transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Going Concern

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of approximately $18.0 million, working capital of $16.4 million, and accumulated deficit of $99.2 million. To date, our principal sources of capital used to fund our operations have been the revenues from product sales, private sales, registered offerings and private placements of equity securities. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within

8

one year after the date that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations with its cash on hand, including the gross proceeds of $15 million raised in the Private Placement (see the section below titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—July 2023 Private Placement”), as well as by exploring additional ways to raise capital and increasing cash flows from operations. The company intends to use the proceeds from the July 2023 capital raise to funds its OTC progress into 2024. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of financing described above that could be available to the Company and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on expanding the use of Stendra® and continuing to invest in research and development pursuant to our Non-Prescription / OTC strategies related to Stendra®, which we believe has the potential to dramatically increase product sales in the future; and future capital market conditions. If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC in order to extend its cash resources.

2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk includes cash. The Company maintains cash on deposit at U.S.-based banks in amounts which, at times, exceed insured limits.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of a Company for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of operations related to Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 15 Segment Reporting.

Revenue Recognition

Prescription Medication Sales

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

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

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the reserves for sales deductions were $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. Our estimates are based on factors such as our direct and indirect customers’ buying patterns and the estimated resulting contractual deduction rates, historical experience, specific known market events and estimated future trends, current contractual and statutory requirements, industry data, estimated customer inventory levels, current contract sales terms with our direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation is required in developing the foregoing and other relevant assumptions. The most significant sales deductions are further described below.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return Stendra® and receive credit for product within six months prior to expiration date and up to one year after expiration date. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future Stendra® returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reserves for product returns were $2.9 million, $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $1.3 million and $7.6 million of returns as a reduction of gross revenue.

Contract Rebates, Coupon Redemptions and DSA Fees

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

The Company has entered into DSAs with certain of our significant wholesaler customers that obligate the wholesalers, in exchange for fees paid by us, to: (i) manage the variability of their purchases and inventory levels within specified limits based on product demand and (ii) provide us with specific services, including the provision of periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels for our pharmaceutical products held at their warehouse locations. See Note 3 Accounts Receivable, net for further discussion of these reserves. Accrued contracts were $49,499, $279,018 and $379,242 of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Medical Device Sales

The Company’s medical device sales consist of domestic and international sales of men’s health products for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The men’s health products include Vacuum Erection Devices, and VenoSeal. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue from medical device sales when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide medical devices upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of the medical device, which is typically upon shipment. The Company invoices its customers after the medical devices have been shipped and invoice payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice date for domestic customers and 90 days for international customers.

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

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return medical devices and receive credit for products within 90 days of the sale. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future product returns and historical experience. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Contract Costs

In relation to customer contracts, the Company incurs costs to fulfill a contract but does not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. As such, the Company did not have any contract assets at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

Contract Liabilities

Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with a customer has been satisfied. In the event it has not been satisfied, the Company records deferred revenue as a liability on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, deferred revenue was $0, $281,372 and $70,343 respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820 (Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), we use a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed from market data obtained from outside sources (observable inputs) and our own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed from the best information available to us in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

11

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company reviews the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or the period over which they should be amortized has changed. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company determines whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed and prepared an undiscounted cash flow analysis, which indicated, for the Stendra(R) product an impairment. The Company then prepared a discounted cash flow analysis resulting in an impairment of approximately $7.5 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified separately from the related host contract in the Company’s balance sheet.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the anti-dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common stocks. The Company computes diluted net loss per common stock by dividing the net loss applicable to common stocks by the sum of the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common stocks, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. See Note 12 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13, together with a series of subsequently issued related ASUs, has been codified in Topic 326. Topic 326 establishes new requirements for companies to estimate expected credit losses when measuring certain financial assets, including accounts receivables. The Company adopted the new guidance with its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective July 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be increased proportionately.

The warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 480-10 as they are puttable to the Company at Holders’ election upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreements). As such, the Company recorded the warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of these warrants issued during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The fair value of the warrants of approximately $21.5 million was estimated at the date of issuance using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; expected term of 5.0 years; equity volatility of 110.0%; the closing stock price on July 13, 2023 of $3.54 and a risk-free interest rate of 3.93%.

Transaction costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the warrants of $2.9 million were immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 480.

18

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $11.7 million related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Statements of Operations. The fair value of the warrants of approximately $9.8 million was estimated at September 30, 2023 utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; remaining term of 4.79 years; equity volatility of 115.0%; the closing stock price on September 30, 2023 of $1.73 and a risk-free interest rate of 4.62%.

13)   Marketing, Licensing and Distribution Agreements

(a)    Vivus

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Vivus, Inc (“Vivus”) to purchase and receive the license for the commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® for a one-time fee of $70 million. The License Agreement gives the Company the right to sell Stendra® in the U.S and its territories, Canada, South America, and India. In December 2000, Vivus originally was granted the license from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (“MTPC”) to develop, market, and manufacture Stendra®. Stendra® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in April 2012 to treat male erectile dysfunction.

Under the License Agreement, the Company will pay MTPC a royalty of 5% on the first $500 million of net sales and 6% of net sales thereafter. In consideration for the trademark assignment and the use of the trademarks associated with the product and the Vivus technology, the Company shall (a) during the first, second, and third years following the expiration of the Royalty Period in a particular country in the Company’s territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 2% of the net sales of products in such territory; and (b) following the fourth and fifth years following the end of the Royalty Period in such territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of products in such territory. Thereafter, no further royalties shall be owed with respect to net sales of Stendra® in such territory.

In addition, the Company will be responsible for a pro-rata portion of a $6 million milestone payment to be paid once $250 million in sales has been reached on the separate revenue stream of Stendra®. Should the $250 million of sales threshold be reached, the Company will be responsible for $3.2 million of the milestone payment.

In connection with the License Agreement, the Company and Vivus also entered into a Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement was terminated, effective September 30, 2021.

19

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

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions, Vivus released 100% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets by the end of the first quarter 2022.

As a result of entering into the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company decreased accrued expenses by $6.5 million and decreased accrued inventory purchases by $14.2 million; which were partially offset by a decrease in API purchase commitments of $6.2 million and an increase to liabilities for the Note of $10.2 million (which is net of the $0.9 million prepayment on the Note). As a result, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on settlement for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company has $1.0 million of API inventory which it has title to and is classified as raw materials inventory. The additional API inventory that the Company does not have title to is classified as API Inventory in either other current assets or other assets, depending on whether the Company expects to take title to the product within one year from the date of the financial statements. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $0.7 million and $0.7 million respectively included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $4.4 million and $5.1 million included as other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company reviews its inventory levels and purchase commitments for excess amounts that it is required to purchase but projects it will not be able to sell prior to product expiry. The Company did not record any reserve for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $170,822 and $135,816, respectively. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a payable for royalties of $46,288, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the company had a receivable for royalties of $106,115, which are included in other current assets. (see Note 7 Accrued Expenses and Note 5 Prepaid and other Current Assets).

The license agreement between MTPC and Vivus (“MTPC License”) contains certain termination rights that would allow MTPC to terminate the agreement if Vivus were to breach any of the terms of the MTPC License or become insolvent or bankrupt. In the event that MTPC terminates the MTPC License with Vivus because of any contractual breach the Company has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow the Company to continue to sell Stendra®.

(b)     Patheon

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

20

(c)    Hybrid

In March 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid. H100™ is a topical candidate with at least one active ingredient and potentially a combination of ingredients responsible for the improvement of penile curvature during the acute phase of Peyronie’s disease.

The Company terminated its exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid on May 11, 2023.

14)  Commitments and Contingencies

(a)    Legal Proceedings

On July 14, 2020, Greg Ford, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was terminated. On July 14, 2020, Mr. Ford, through his attorney, claimed that he was entitled to severance pay pursuant to an employment agreement following the termination of his employment on that same date. This claim is currently at an early stage where the Company is unable to determine the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome.

The Company is not currently involved in any other significant claims or legal actions that, in the opinion of management, will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations, financial position or cash flows.

15)    Segment Information

The Company manages its operations through two segments. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of operations related to Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. The Company separately presents the costs associated with certain corporate functions as Corporate, primarily consisting of unallocated operating expenses including costs that were not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group, expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses. Interest and other income (expense), net is also not allocated to the operating segments.

16)     Private Placement

On July 13, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell in a private placement to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of our newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into up to 6,666,668 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $2.25 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 6,666,668 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (collectively, the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) and the Warrants, each of the Conversion Price (as defined below) and the exercise price and the number of shares underlying the Warrants is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). As of September 30, 2023, the Conversion Price and the exercise price of the Warrants was equal to $2.25 per share.

The Private Placement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on July 17, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement was approximately $15 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.

We engaged Katalyst Securities LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to an Engagement Letter with the Placement Agent, we paid to the Placement Agent or its designees (i) a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 533,334 shares of Common Stock on the same terms as the Warrants.

Series A Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series A Preferred Shares are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations. The Series A Preferred Shares will be convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $2.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). We are required to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares in 13 equal monthly installments, commencing on November 1, 2023. The amortization payments due upon such redemptions are payable, at our election, in cash at 107% of the Installment Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock valued at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Common

23

Stock during the thirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of $0.396, which is 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval (as defined below) or such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events. We may require holders to convert their Series A Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $6.75 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000) per day during the same period and certain equity conditions described in the Certificate of Designations are satisfied.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 8% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable, at our option, in cash or shares of Common Stock, or in a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. On September 29, 2023, we filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock were amended to permit certain additional procedures for the payment of redemptions and conversions Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series A Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series A Preferred Shares at a premium set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights on account of the Series A Preferred Shares, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series A Preferred Shares.

The Series A Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimated the $6.1 million fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of our common stock of $3.54 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 165.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 790.0%, the time to maturity of 1.38 years, a discounted market interest rate of 8.1%, dividend rate of 8.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 9.7%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.

The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total discount of approximately $15.0 million upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of approximately $6.1 million and the difference between the gross proceeds and the allocated residual fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares of approximately $8.9 million. When it is deemed probable that the Series A Preferred Shares will be redeemed, the Company will accrete the Series A Preferred Shares to redemption amount pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A. As the fair value of the liabilities required to be subsequently measured at fair value exceeded the net proceeds received, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received as a loss upon issuance of preferred stock of $11.1 million which is included in other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.4 million related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimated the $6.6 million fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at September 30, 2023 using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of our common stock of $1.73 on the valuation date, estimated equity volatility of 180.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 890.0%, the time to maturity of 1.17 years, a discounted market interest rate of 7.8%, dividend rate of 8.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 10.4%.

On September 29, 2023, the Company notified the investors of its intention to redeem the first installment due November 1, 2023 (the “November Installment”) in cash. At that time, the Company established a liability of $1,368,547 representing the cash payable to investors which includes $1,153,846 of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Shares, $125,170 of accrued dividends payable, and $89,531 for the cash premium for the November Installment which was recognized as a deemed dividend. As of November 14, 2023, we have redeemed 1,154 Series A Preferred Shares for cash of $1,213,132 and issued 87,499 shares of Common Stock, elected pursuant

24

to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, worth $145,248 in relief of the First Installment liability. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has recognized $339,232 of preferred dividends which is comprised of $249,701 of preferred dividends at the stated dividend rate and $89,531 of deemed dividends for cash premium for the November Installment.

We are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Series A Preferred Shares and we do not intend to list the Series A Preferred Shares on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Warrants

The Warrants became exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) immediately upon issuance, at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”) and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Exercise Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be increased proportionately. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants and we do not intend to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 200% of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the effective date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). We filed a registration statement on Form S-3 covering such securities, which registration statement, as amended, was declared effective on September 18, 2023. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the investors if we fail to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to file or cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Nasdaq Stockholder Approval

Our ability to issue Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Prior to receiving the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval, such limitations included a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Stockholder Approval”). In the Purchase Agreement we agreed to seek the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval at a meeting of stockholders, and we received the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval at a special meeting of stockholders held on September 14, 2023. Our directors and officers, who held approximately 29% of issued and our outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, were party to a voting agreement pursuant to which, among other things, each party agreed, solely in their capacity as a stockholder, to vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval and against any actions that could adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The voting agreement also placed certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Common Stock held by the signatories thereto.

17)     Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2023 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative related to the convertible preferred stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our common stock and estimates for the equity volatility and traded volume volatility of our common stock, the time to maturity of the convertible preferred stock, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to maturity, dividend rate, a penalty dividend rate, and our probability of default. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the Black Scholes Model which uses as inputs the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield, expected term in years; equity volatility; the stock price and risk-free interest rate.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability and bifurcated embedded derivatives represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of Petros’ financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results. In certain instances, parenthetical references are made to relevant sections of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to direct the reader to a further detailed discussion. This section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements reflecting Petros’ current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Overview

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) is a pharmaceutical company focused on expanding consumer access to medication through over-the-counter (OTC) drug development programs, consisting of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Metuchen”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), Neurotrope, Inc. (“Neurotrope”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Vivus, Inc (“Vivus”) to purchase and receive the license for the commercialization and development of Stendra® for a one-time fee of $70 million. The License Agreement gives the Company the right to sell Stendra® in the U.S and its territories, Canada, South America, and India. Stendra® is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”) and is the only patent protected PDE-5 inhibitor on the market. Stendra® offers the ED therapeutic landscape a valuable addition as an oral ED therapy that may be taken as early as approximately 15 minutes prior to sexual engagement, with or without food when using the 100mg or 200mg dosing (does not apply to 50mg dosing). Petros is also currently conducting non-clinical consumer studies in connection with the contemplated pursuit of FDA approval for Stendra® for Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) use in treating ED.

In addition to Stendra®, Petros’ ED portfolio also includes external penile rigidity devices, namely Vacuum Erection Devices (“VEDs”), which are sold domestically and internationally. In addition to ED products, Petros is committed to identifying and developing other pharmaceuticals to advance men’s health.

Going Concern

Petros has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of approximately $18.0 million, positive working capital of $16.4 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $99.2 million and used cash in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, of approximately $5.4 million. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued.

27

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations with its cash on hand, including the gross proceeds of $15 million raised in the Private Placement (see the section below titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—July 2023 Private Placement”), as well as by exploring additional ways to raise capital and increasing cash flows from operations. The company intends to use the proceeds from the July 2023 capital raise to fund its OTC progress into 2024. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of financing described above that could be available to the Company and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on expanding the use of Stendra® and continuing to invest in research and development pursuant to our Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) strategies related to Stendra®, which we believe has the potential to dramatically increase product sales in the future; and future capital market conditions. If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC in order to extend its cash resources. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

For more information, please see Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on expanding consumer access to medication through over-the-counter (OTC) drug development programs with a full range of commercial capabilities including sales, marketing, regulatory and medical affairs, finance, trade relations, pharmacovigilance, market access relations, manufacturing, and distribution.

Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). Petros was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting certain transactions between Petros, Metuchen, Neurotrope, and certain subsidiaries of Petros (collectively the “Mergers”). The Mergers were consummated on December 1, 2020. The Company is engaged in the commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which we have licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also markets its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV.

The Company manages its operations through two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, both of which focus on the treatment of male ED. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. Expenses related to the development of H100™, which was in the early stages of development and had not yet sought FDA approval to begin Phase 1 clinical trials, were categorized under the Prescription Medications segment. We terminated the H100™ license in May 2023. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally.

Licensing and Distribution

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

The Company will pay MTPC a royalty of 5% on the first $500 million of net sales and 6% of net sales thereafter until the expiration of the applicable patent in a particular country. The last scheduled patent expiration is in April 2025. In consideration for the trademark assignment and the use of the trademarks associated with Stendra® and the Vivus technology, the Company shall (a) during the first, second, and third years following the expiration of the royalty period in a particular country in the Company’s territory, pay to Vivus a

28

royalty equal to 2% of the net sales of Stendra® in such territory; and (b) following the fourth and fifth years following the end of the royalty period in such territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of Stendra® in such territory. After the royalty period, no further royalties shall be owed with respect to net sales of Stendra® in such territory. In addition, the Company will be responsible for a pro-rata portion of a one-time $6 million milestone payment to be paid once $250 million in sales has been reached on the separate revenue stream of Stendra® during any calendar year.

In connection with the License Agreement, the Company and Vivus also entered into a Supply Agreement on September 30, 2016, which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. Following the termination of the Vivus Supply Agreement, Petros, through its subsidiary Metuchen, entered into a Technology Transfer Service Agreement on January 20, 2022 with Patheon Pharmaceuticals Inc., part of Thermo Fisher Scientific (“Patheon”), pursuant to which the Company and Patheon agreed to collaborate as strategic partners for commercial production of Stendra® tablets at Patheon’s facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio. Under the Agreement, Patheon or one of its affiliates is providing pharmaceutical development and technology transfer services in order to establish and validate its ability to manufacture supply of the Company’s Stendra® product. Any commercial sale of product manufactured during the performance of the Agreement must be subject to a subsequent commercial manufacturing services agreement (with associated quality agreement) between the parties before it can be offered for commercial sale.

The license agreement between MTPC and Vivus contains certain termination rights that will allow MTPC to terminate the agreement if Vivus were to breach any of the terms of the MTPC License or become insolvent or bankrupt. In the event that MTPC terminates the MTPC License with Vivus because of any contractual breach the Company has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow the Company to continue to sell Stendra®.

On March 27, 2018, the Company entered into a Sublicense Agreement with Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Acerus”) whereby the Company granted to Acerus an exclusive sublicense in Canada for, among other things, the development and commercialization of Stendra® avanafil for a one-time fee of $100,000. The Company was entitled to receive an additional fee of $400,000 if Stendra® is approved by Canadian regulators, as well as commercial milestone payments and royalty fees of 12% of net sales. However, in April 2020 Health Canada issued a Notice of Deficiency (“NOD”) against the New Drug Submission. Metuchen and Acerus are currently renegotiating modified terms to the sub-license agreement and the viability of the pathway required to address the deficiency noted by Health Canada. The outcome of these negotiations is uncertain and depends on a variety of factors, including the result of Acerus’ ongoing dissolution proceedings.

In March 2020, we entered into the Hybrid License for the development and commercialization of H100™ from Hybrid. H100™ is a topical candidate with at least one active ingredient and potentially a combination of ingredients responsible for the improvement of penile curvature during the acute phase of Peyronie’s disease.

The Company terminated the Hybrid License on May 11, 2023.

Vivus Settlement Agreement, Promissory Note and the Security Agreement

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

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) financing issued by or to Metuchen (including any subsidiaries and intermediaries) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions, Vivus released 100% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets under the Company’s existing open purchase order (the “Open Purchase Order”) being held by Vivus later during the first quarter of 2022.

29

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

Under the terms of the Note, the principal amount of $10,201,758 is payable in consecutive quarterly installments beginning on April 1, 2022 through January 1, 2027. Interest on the principal amount accrues at a rate of 6% per year until the principal is repaid in full and is due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July, and October of each calendar year, commencing on April 1, 2022. The Company may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time, with no premium or penalty. In the event that the Company defaults under the Security Agreement, all principal outstanding under the Note at the time of the default will bear interest at a rate of 9% per year until the full and final payment of all principal and interest under the Note (regardless of whether any default is waived or cured). If the Note is placed in the hands of any attorney for collection, or if it is collected through any legal proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings, the Company will also be required to pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated January 18, 2022, the Company granted to Vivus a continuing security interest in all of its Stendra® API and products and its rights under the License Agreement. The Security Agreement contains customary events of default. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has paid Vivus $1,089,683. As of September 30, 2023, the principal balance on the Note is $8,388,093.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

30

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

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return Stendra® and receive credit for product within six months prior to expiration date and up to one year after expiration date. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future Stendra® returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reserves for product returns were $2.9 million, $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $1.3 million and $7.6 million of returns as a reduction of gross revenue.

Accounts Receivable

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company reports accounts receivable and contract assets net of an allowance for expected credit losses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses ( ASC 326 ). The adoption of ASC 326 had no material impact on the Company’s financial results for any prior periods, therefore no cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings was recorded.

Inventories

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

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

31

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

Change in fair value of derivative liability

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $0.4 million for the change in fair value of the derivative liability compared to a gain of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The loss in 2023 related to the increase in the fair value of derivative liability established for certain bifurcated features of the Series A Preferred Stock issued in the July 2023 private placement.

The gain in 2022 represented the change in fair value of the derivative during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the decline in the Company’s stock price as well as the passage of time, as it became less likely that the earnout associated with the Mergers consummated on December 1, 2020 would be met.

Change in fair value of warrant liability

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $11.7 million for the change in fair value of the warrant liability compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The gain related to the decrease in the fair value of warrants issued in the July 2023 private placement which were classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC 480.

Intangibles

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company reviews the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or the period over which they should be amortized has changed. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company determines whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed and prepared an undiscounted cash flow analysis, which indicated for the Stendra® product an impairment.

Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash on hand, as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations.

To date, our principal sources of capital used to fund our operations have been the revenues from product sales, private sales, registered offerings and private placements of equity securities.

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations with its cash on hand, including the gross proceeds of $15 million raised in the Private Placement (see the section below titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—July 2023 Private Placement”), as well as by exploring additional ways to raise capital and increasing cash flows from operations.  The company intends to use the proceeds from the July 2023 capital raise to funds its OTC progress through the end of 2024. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of financing described above that could be available to the Company and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on expanding the use of Stendra® and continuing to invest in research and development pursuant to our Non-Prescription / Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) strategies related to Stendra®, which we believe has the potential to dramatically increase product sales in the future and future capital market conditions. If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC in order to extend its cash resources. Thus far the Company has taken steps to reduce discretionary expenditures and explored new sources of funding for our research initiatives, such as sponsored research agreements and co-development initiatives. While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to finance our operations, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. The Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We will require additional financing to further develop and market our products, fund operations, and otherwise implement our business strategy at amounts relatively consistent with the expenditure levels disclosed above. We are exploring additional ways to raise capital, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise capital. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, our ability to meet our obligations, and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We expect to seek additional funds through a variety of sources, which may include additional public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative, or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

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

Contingencies

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

July 2023 Private Placement

On July 13, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell in a private placement to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of our newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into up to 6,666,668 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $2.25 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 6,666,668 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (collectively, the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) and the Warrants, each of the Conversion Price (as defined below) and the exercise price and the number of shares underlying the Warrants is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). As of September 30, 203, the Conversion Price and the exercise price of the Warrants was equal to $2.25 per share

42

The Private Placement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on July 17, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement was approximately $15 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.

We engaged Katalyst Securities LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to an Engagement Letter with the Placement Agent, we paid to the Placement Agent or its designees (i) a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 533,334 shares of Common Stock on the same term as the Warrants.

Series A Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series A Preferred Shares are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations. The Series A Preferred Shares will be convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $2.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). We are required to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares in 13 equal monthly installments, commencing on November 1, 2023. The amortization payments due upon such redemptions are payable, at our election, in cash at 107% of the Installment Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock valued at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Common Stock during the thirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of $0.396, which is 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval (as defined below) or such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events. We may require holders to convert their Series A Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $6.75 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000) per day during the same period and certain equity conditions described in the Certificate of Designations are satisfied.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 8% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable, at our option, in cash or shares of Common Stock, or in a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. On September 29, 2023, we filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock were amended to permit certain additional procedures for the payment of redemptions and conversions Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series A Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series A Preferred Shares at a premium set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights on account of the Series A Preferred Shares, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series A Preferred Shares.

As of November 14, 2023, we have redeemed 1,154 Series A Preferred Shares and issued 87,499 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations.

We are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Series A Preferred Shares and we do not intend to list the Series A Preferred Shares on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Warrants

43

The Warrants became exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) immediately upon issuance, at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”) and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Exercise Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be increased proportionately. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants and we do not intend to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 200% of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the effective date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). We filed a registration statement on Form S-3 covering such securities, which registration statement, as amended, was declared effective on September 18, 2023. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the investors if we fail to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to file or cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Nasdaq Stockholder Approval

Our ability to issue Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Prior to receiving the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval, such limitations included a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Stockholder Approval”). In the Purchase Agreement we agreed to seek the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval at a meeting of stockholders, and we received the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval at a special meeting of stockholders held on September 14, 2023. Our directors and officers, who held approximately 29% of issued and our outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, were party to a voting agreement pursuant to which, among other things, each party agreed, solely in their capacity as a stockholder, to vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval and against any actions that could adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The voting agreement also placed certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Common Stock held by the signatories thereto.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

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

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

44

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

does not reflect the Company’s capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt; and
does not reflect payments related to income taxes, if applicable.

Gross Billings

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

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

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

46

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As disclosed in Part II Item 9A Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we identified a material weaknesses in internal control related to (1) Petros has an insufficient level of monitoring and oversight controls and does not enforce the implementation of key controls reflected on its internal control process matrices; (2) the sizes of Petros’ accounting and IT departments make it impracticable to achieve an appropriate segregation of duties; and (3) Petros does not have appropriate IT access related controls.

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

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than as noted above.

47

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

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

The information set forth in Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in our annual report, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and stock price.

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

Cyberattacks and other data security breaches could compromise our proprietary and confidential information, which could harm our business and reputation or cause us to incur increased expenses to address any such breaches.

In the ordinary course of our business, Petros generates, collects and stores proprietary information, including intellectual property and business information. The secure storage, maintenance, and transmission of and access to this information is important to our operations and reputation. If a cyber incident, such as a phishing or ransomware attack, business email compromise attack, virus, malware installation, server malfunction, software or hardware failure, impairment of data integrity, loss of data or other computer assets, adware or other similar issue, impairs, shuts down, or penetrates our computer systems, our proprietary and confidential information, including e-mails and other electronic communications, may be misappropriated. In addition an employee, contractor, or other third party with whom we do business may attempt to obtain such information and may purposefully or inadvertently cause a breach involving such information. As a result, our information technology networks and infrastructure may be vulnerable to unpermitted access by hackers or other breaches, or employee error or malfeasance, and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on third parties to perform services necessary for the operation of our business, and they may fail to adequately secure our proprietary and confidential information. We have in the past been subject to low-threat cyber, phishing, social engineering and business email compromise attacks, none of which individually or in the aggregate has led to costs or consequences that have materially impacted our business, results of operations or financial condition, however, we and our third-party vendors may be subject to such attacks and other cybersecurity incidents in the future. If we or our third-party vendors were to suffer an attack or breach in the future, for example, that resulted in the unauthorized access to or use or disclosure of proprietary and confidential information, we may be required to notify government authorities, be subject to investigations, civil penalties, administrative and enforcement actions, and litigation, any of which could harm our business, financial results and reputation.

Attacks upon information technology systems are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and are being conducted by sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period. Even if identified, we may be unable to adequately investigate or remediate incidents or breaches due to attackers increasingly using tools and techniques that are designed to circumvent controls, to avoid detection, and to remove or obfuscate forensic evidence.

48

Any such compromise of our data security and access to, or public disclosure or loss of, confidential business or proprietary information could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, provide our competitors with valuable information and subject us to additional costs, which could adversely affect our business. We may also incur significant remediation costs, including liability for stolen customer or employee information, repairing system damage or providing benefits to affected customers or employees.

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

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on expanding consumer access to medication through over-the-counter (OTC) drug development programs.Petros consists of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”), Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). Petros was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting certain transactions between Petros, Metuchen, Neurotrope, and certain subsidiaries of Petros (collectively the “Mergers”). The Mergers were consummated on December 1, 2020. The Company is engaged in the commercialization and development of Stendra®, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (“ED”), which the Company has licensed from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”). Petros also markets its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device products through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical and PTV. In addition to ED products, we had an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize H100™, a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease, which license was terminated by the Company on May 11, 2023.

The Company manages its operations through two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, both of which focus on the treatment of male ED. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States. Expenses related to the development of H100™, prior to the license termination in May 2023, which was in the early stages of development and had not yet sought FDA approval to begin Phase 1 clinical trials, were categorized under the Prescription Medications segment. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally.

The Company’s priority is the ability to sell Stendra® Over-The-Counter (“OTC”). The company has continued to progress in its development program. Recently, the Company has conducted three engagements with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewing data and receiving guidance, launched a second pivotal Label Comprehension Study incorporating FDA feedback, and has begun to integrate supportive technology in response to recent FDA industry-wide guidance and proposed rules.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. However, actual results could differ from those estimates. The unaudited interim consolidated results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes previously distributed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

All transactions between the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity and Going Concern

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of approximately $18.0 million, working capital of $16.4 million, and accumulated deficit of $99.2 million. To date, our principal sources of capital used to fund our operations have been the revenues from product sales, private sales, registered offerings and private placements of equity securities. The Company does not currently have sufficient available liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within

one year after the date that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

In response to these conditions and events, the Company is evaluating various financing strategies to obtain sufficient additional liquidity to meet its operating, debt service and capital requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this Quarterly Report. The potential sources of financing that the Company is evaluating include one or any combination of secured or unsecured debt, convertible debt and equity in both public and private offerings. The Company also plans to finance near-term operations with its cash on hand, including the gross proceeds of $15 million raised in the Private Placement (see the section below titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources—July 2023 Private Placement”), as well as by exploring additional ways to raise capital and increasing cash flows from operations. The company intends to use the proceeds from the July 2023 capital raise to funds its OTC progress into 2024. There is no assurance the Company will manage to raise additional capital or otherwise increase cash flows, if required. The sources of financing described above that could be available to the Company and the timing and probability of obtaining sufficient capital depend, in part, on expanding the use of Stendra® and continuing to invest in research and development pursuant to our Non-Prescription / OTC strategies related to Stendra®, which we believe has the potential to dramatically increase product sales in the future; and future capital market conditions. If the Company’s current assumptions regarding timing of these events are incorrect or if there are any other changes or differences in our current assumptions that negatively impact our financing strategy, the Company may have to further reduce expenditures or significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of Stendra® OTC in order to extend its cash resources.

2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk includes cash. The Company maintains cash on deposit at U.S.-based banks in amounts which, at times, exceed insured limits.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of a Company for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of operations related to Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 15 Segment Reporting.

Revenue Recognition

Prescription Medication Sales

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

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

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the reserves for sales deductions were $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. Our estimates are based on factors such as our direct and indirect customers’ buying patterns and the estimated resulting contractual deduction rates, historical experience, specific known market events and estimated future trends, current contractual and statutory requirements, industry data, estimated customer inventory levels, current contract sales terms with our direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation is required in developing the foregoing and other relevant assumptions. The most significant sales deductions are further described below.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return Stendra® and receive credit for product within six months prior to expiration date and up to one year after expiration date. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future Stendra® returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reserves for product returns were $2.9 million, $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $1.3 million and $7.6 million of returns as a reduction of gross revenue.

Contract Rebates, Coupon Redemptions and DSA Fees

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

The Company has entered into DSAs with certain of our significant wholesaler customers that obligate the wholesalers, in exchange for fees paid by us, to: (i) manage the variability of their purchases and inventory levels within specified limits based on product demand and (ii) provide us with specific services, including the provision of periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels for our pharmaceutical products held at their warehouse locations. See Note 3 Accounts Receivable, net for further discussion of these reserves. Accrued contracts were $49,499, $279,018 and $379,242 of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Medical Device Sales

The Company’s medical device sales consist of domestic and international sales of men’s health products for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The men’s health products include Vacuum Erection Devices, and VenoSeal. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue from medical device sales when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide medical devices upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of the medical device, which is typically upon shipment. The Company invoices its customers after the medical devices have been shipped and invoice payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice date for domestic customers and 90 days for international customers.

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

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return medical devices and receive credit for products within 90 days of the sale. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future product returns and historical experience. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Contract Costs

In relation to customer contracts, the Company incurs costs to fulfill a contract but does not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. As such, the Company did not have any contract assets at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

Contract Liabilities

Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with a customer has been satisfied. In the event it has not been satisfied, the Company records deferred revenue as a liability on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, deferred revenue was $0, $281,372 and $70,343 respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820 (Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), we use a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed from market data obtained from outside sources (observable inputs) and our own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed from the best information available to us in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company reviews the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or the period over which they should be amortized has changed. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company determines whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed and prepared an undiscounted cash flow analysis, which indicated, for the Stendra(R) product an impairment. The Company then prepared a discounted cash flow analysis resulting in an impairment of approximately $7.5 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified separately from the related host contract in the Company’s balance sheet.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the anti-dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common stocks. The Company computes diluted net loss per common stock by dividing the net loss applicable to common stocks by the sum of the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common stocks, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. See Note 12 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13, together with a series of subsequently issued related ASUs, has been codified in Topic 326. Topic 326 establishes new requirements for companies to estimate expected credit losses when measuring certain financial assets, including accounts receivables. The Company adopted the new guidance with its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective July 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Promissory Note

In connection with the Settlement Agreement entered into with Vivus (see Note 13), Petros executed an interest-bearing promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of Vivus in the principal amount of $10,201,758. The parties also entered into a Security Agreement to secure Petros’ obligations under the Note.

Under the terms of the Note, the original principal amount of $10,201,758 is payable in consecutive quarterly installments of principal and interest beginning on April 1, 2022 through January 1, 2027. Interest on the principal amount will accrue at a rate of 6% per year. The Company may prepay the Note, in whole or in part, at any time, with no premium or penalty. In the event that the Company defaults under the Security Agreement, all principal outstanding under the Note at the time of the default will bear interest at a rate of 9% per year until the full and final payment of all principal and interest under the Note (regardless of whether any default is waived or cured). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, dated January 18, 2022, the Company granted to Vivus a continuing security interest in all of its Stendra® API and products and its rights under the License Agreement.

On July 17, 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 7,200,002 shares of common stock in connection with the Private Placement (as defined below). The warrants have an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share of common stock and expire five years after the date of issuance. The exercise price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, at a price below the then-applicable exercise price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be increased proportionately.

The warrants were determined to be within the scope of ASC 480-10 as they are puttable to the Company at Holders’ election upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the agreements). As such, the Company recorded the warrants as a liability at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company utilized the Black Scholes Model to calculate the value of these warrants issued during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The fair value of the warrants of approximately $21.5 million was estimated at the date of issuance using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; expected term of 5.0 years; equity volatility of 110.0%; the closing stock price on July 13, 2023 of $3.54 and a risk-free interest rate of 3.93%.

Transaction costs incurred attributable to the issuance of the warrants of $2.9 million were immediately expensed in accordance with ASC 480.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $11.7 million related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Statements of Operations. The fair value of the warrants of approximately $9.8 million was estimated at September 30, 2023 utilizing the Black Scholes Model using the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield 0%; remaining term of 4.79 years; equity volatility of 115.0%; the closing stock price on September 30, 2023 of $1.73 and a risk-free interest rate of 4.62%.

Marketing, Licensing and Distribution Agreements

13)   Marketing, Licensing and Distribution Agreements

(a)    Vivus

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Vivus, Inc (“Vivus”) to purchase and receive the license for the commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® for a one-time fee of $70 million. The License Agreement gives the Company the right to sell Stendra® in the U.S and its territories, Canada, South America, and India. In December 2000, Vivus originally was granted the license from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (“MTPC”) to develop, market, and manufacture Stendra®. Stendra® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in April 2012 to treat male erectile dysfunction.

Under the License Agreement, the Company will pay MTPC a royalty of 5% on the first $500 million of net sales and 6% of net sales thereafter. In consideration for the trademark assignment and the use of the trademarks associated with the product and the Vivus technology, the Company shall (a) during the first, second, and third years following the expiration of the Royalty Period in a particular country in the Company’s territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 2% of the net sales of products in such territory; and (b) following the fourth and fifth years following the end of the Royalty Period in such territory, pay to Vivus a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of products in such territory. Thereafter, no further royalties shall be owed with respect to net sales of Stendra® in such territory.

In addition, the Company will be responsible for a pro-rata portion of a $6 million milestone payment to be paid once $250 million in sales has been reached on the separate revenue stream of Stendra®. Should the $250 million of sales threshold be reached, the Company will be responsible for $3.2 million of the milestone payment.

In connection with the License Agreement, the Company and Vivus also entered into a Supply Agreement. The Supply Agreement was terminated, effective September 30, 2021.

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

In addition to the payments to be made in accordance with the Note, the Company further agreed in the Vivus Settlement Agreement to (i) grant to Vivus a right of first refusal to provide certain types of debt and convertible equity (but not preferred equity) until the Note is paid in full, and (ii) undertake to make certain regulatory submissions to effectuate Vivus’ ability to exercise its rights under the License Agreement. On January 18, 2022, the Company made a prepayment of the obligations under the Note in the amount of $900,000, and a payment of $1,542,904 with respect to a purchase order made in 2021 to Vivus. In consideration of these payments and upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain regulatory submissions, Vivus released 100% of the quantity of bulk Stendra® tablets by the end of the first quarter 2022.

As a result of entering into the Vivus Settlement Agreement, the Company decreased accrued expenses by $6.5 million and decreased accrued inventory purchases by $14.2 million; which were partially offset by a decrease in API purchase commitments of $6.2 million and an increase to liabilities for the Note of $10.2 million (which is net of the $0.9 million prepayment on the Note). As a result, the Company recorded a $3.4 million gain on settlement for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company has $1.0 million of API inventory which it has title to and is classified as raw materials inventory. The additional API inventory that the Company does not have title to is classified as API Inventory in either other current assets or other assets, depending on whether the Company expects to take title to the product within one year from the date of the financial statements. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $0.7 million and $0.7 million respectively included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $4.4 million and $5.1 million included as other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The Company reviews its inventory levels and purchase commitments for excess amounts that it is required to purchase but projects it will not be able to sell prior to product expiry. The Company did not record any reserve for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $170,822 and $135,816, respectively. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a payable for royalties of $46,288, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2022, the company had a receivable for royalties of $106,115, which are included in other current assets. (see Note 7 Accrued Expenses and Note 5 Prepaid and other Current Assets).

The license agreement between MTPC and Vivus (“MTPC License”) contains certain termination rights that would allow MTPC to terminate the agreement if Vivus were to breach any of the terms of the MTPC License or become insolvent or bankrupt. In the event that MTPC terminates the MTPC License with Vivus because of any contractual breach the Company has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow the Company to continue to sell Stendra®.

(b)     Patheon

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

(c)    Hybrid

In March 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid. H100™ is a topical candidate with at least one active ingredient and potentially a combination of ingredients responsible for the improvement of penile curvature during the acute phase of Peyronie’s disease.

The Company terminated its exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid on May 11, 2023.

Private Placement

16)     Private Placement

On July 13, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell in a private placement to the Investors (i) an aggregate of 15,000 shares of our newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into up to 6,666,668 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an initial conversion price of $2.25 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 6,666,668 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (collectively, the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) and the Warrants, each of the Conversion Price (as defined below) and the exercise price and the number of shares underlying the Warrants is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). As of September 30, 2023, the Conversion Price and the exercise price of the Warrants was equal to $2.25 per share.

The Private Placement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on July 17, 2023. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Private Placement was approximately $15 million. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes.

We engaged Katalyst Securities LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement. Pursuant to an Engagement Letter with the Placement Agent, we paid to the Placement Agent or its designees (i) a cash fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement and (ii) warrants to acquire up to an aggregate of 533,334 shares of Common Stock on the same terms as the Warrants.

Series A Preferred Stock

The terms of the Series A Preferred Shares are as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designations. The Series A Preferred Shares will be convertible into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $2.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions). We are required to redeem the Series A Preferred Shares in 13 equal monthly installments, commencing on November 1, 2023. The amortization payments due upon such redemptions are payable, at our election, in cash at 107% of the Installment Redemption Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), or subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock valued at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price then in effect and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Common

Stock during the thirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the amortization payment is due or (B) the lower of $0.396, which is 20% of the “Minimum Price” (as defined in Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635) on the date of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval (as defined below) or such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events. We may require holders to convert their Series A Preferred Shares into Conversion Shares if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds $6.75 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) for 20 consecutive trading days and the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000) per day during the same period and certain equity conditions described in the Certificate of Designations are satisfied.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to dividends of 8% per annum, compounded monthly, which are payable, at our option, in cash or shares of Common Stock, or in a combination thereof, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. On September 29, 2023, we filed an amendment to the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock were amended to permit certain additional procedures for the payment of redemptions and conversions Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Series A Preferred Shares will accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder’s Series A Preferred Shares at a premium set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Upon conversion or redemption, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive a dividend make-whole payment. The holders of Series A Preferred Shares have no voting rights on account of the Series A Preferred Shares, other than with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the Series A Preferred Shares.

The Series A Preferred Shares were determined to be more akin to a debt-like host than an equity-like host. The Company identified the following embedded features that are not clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument: 1) make-whole interest upon a contingent redemption event, 2) make-whole interest upon a conversion event, 3) an installment redemption upon an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), and 4) variable share-settled installment conversion. These features were bundled together, assigned probabilities of being affected and measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value of these features are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimated the $6.1 million fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of our common stock of $3.54 on the issuance date, estimated equity volatility of 165.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 790.0%, the time to maturity of 1.38 years, a discounted market interest rate of 8.1%, dividend rate of 8.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 9.7%. The fair value of the bifurcated derivative liability was estimated utilizing the with and without method which uses the probability weighted difference between the scenarios with the derivative and the plain vanilla maturity scenario without a derivative.

The discount to the fair value is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a total discount of approximately $15.0 million upon issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares, which was comprised of the issuance date fair value of the associated embedded derivative of approximately $6.1 million and the difference between the gross proceeds and the allocated residual fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares of approximately $8.9 million. When it is deemed probable that the Series A Preferred Shares will be redeemed, the Company will accrete the Series A Preferred Shares to redemption amount pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A. As the fair value of the liabilities required to be subsequently measured at fair value exceeded the net proceeds received, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received as a loss upon issuance of preferred stock of $11.1 million which is included in other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.4 million related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability which is recorded in other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company estimated the $6.6 million fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative at September 30, 2023 using a Monte Carlo simulation model, with the following inputs the fair value of our common stock of $1.73 on the valuation date, estimated equity volatility of 180.0%, estimated traded volume volatility of 890.0%, the time to maturity of 1.17 years, a discounted market interest rate of 7.8%, dividend rate of 8.0%, a penalty dividend rate of 15.0%, and probability of default of 10.4%.

On September 29, 2023, the Company notified the investors of its intention to redeem the first installment due November 1, 2023 (the “November Installment”) in cash. At that time, the Company established a liability of $1,368,547 representing the cash payable to investors which includes $1,153,846 of the stated value of the Series A Preferred Shares, $125,170 of accrued dividends payable, and $89,531 for the cash premium for the November Installment which was recognized as a deemed dividend. As of November 14, 2023, we have redeemed 1,154 Series A Preferred Shares for cash of $1,213,132 and issued 87,499 shares of Common Stock, elected pursuant

to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, worth $145,248 in relief of the First Installment liability. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has recognized $339,232 of preferred dividends which is comprised of $249,701 of preferred dividends at the stated dividend rate and $89,531 of deemed dividends for cash premium for the November Installment.

We are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends (other than dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designations), distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Series A Preferred Shares and we do not intend to list the Series A Preferred Shares on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Warrants

The Warrants became exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) immediately upon issuance, at an initial exercise price of $2.25 per share (the “Exercise Price”) and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Exercise Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, at a price below the then-applicable Exercise Price (subject to certain exceptions). Upon any such price-based adjustment, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be increased proportionately. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants and we do not intend to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Registration Rights

In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a resale registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale 200% of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares promptly following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 30 calendar days after the effective date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). We filed a registration statement on Form S-3 covering such securities, which registration statement, as amended, was declared effective on September 18, 2023. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the investors if we fail to file the Registration Statement when required, fails to file or cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Nasdaq Stockholder Approval

Our ability to issue Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares using shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. Prior to receiving the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval, such limitations included a limit on the number of shares that may be issued until the time, if any, that our stockholders have approved the issuance of more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Stockholder Approval”). In the Purchase Agreement we agreed to seek the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval at a meeting of stockholders, and we received the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval at a special meeting of stockholders held on September 14, 2023. Our directors and officers, who held approximately 29% of issued and our outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, were party to a voting agreement pursuant to which, among other things, each party agreed, solely in their capacity as a stockholder, to vote all of their shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval and against any actions that could adversely affect our ability to perform our obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The voting agreement also placed certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Common Stock held by the signatories thereto.

Fair Value Measurements

17)     Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of and during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2023 due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative related to the convertible preferred stock was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our common stock and estimates for the equity volatility and traded volume volatility of our common stock, the time to maturity of the convertible preferred stock, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to maturity, dividend rate, a penalty dividend rate, and our probability of default. The fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using the Black Scholes Model which uses as inputs the following weighted average assumptions: dividend yield, expected term in years; equity volatility; the stock price and risk-free interest rate.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The estimated fair value of the warrant liability and bifurcated embedded derivatives represent Level 3 measurements. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

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

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk includes cash. The Company maintains cash on deposit at U.S.-based banks in amounts which, at times, exceed insured limits.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are components of a Company for which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, focus on the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The Prescription Medications segment consists primarily of operations related to Stendra®, which is sold generally in the United States The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 15 Segment Reporting.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Prescription Medication Sales

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

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

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the reserves for sales deductions were $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. Our estimates are based on factors such as our direct and indirect customers’ buying patterns and the estimated resulting contractual deduction rates, historical experience, specific known market events and estimated future trends, current contractual and statutory requirements, industry data, estimated customer inventory levels, current contract sales terms with our direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation is required in developing the foregoing and other relevant assumptions. The most significant sales deductions are further described below.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return Stendra® and receive credit for product within six months prior to expiration date and up to one year after expiration date. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future Stendra® returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the reserves for product returns were $2.9 million, $2.3 million and $3.8 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the Company recorded $1.3 million and $7.6 million of returns as a reduction of gross revenue.

Contract Rebates, Coupon Redemptions and DSA Fees

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

The Company has entered into DSAs with certain of our significant wholesaler customers that obligate the wholesalers, in exchange for fees paid by us, to: (i) manage the variability of their purchases and inventory levels within specified limits based on product demand and (ii) provide us with specific services, including the provision of periodic retail demand information and current inventory levels for our pharmaceutical products held at their warehouse locations. See Note 3 Accounts Receivable, net for further discussion of these reserves. Accrued contracts were $49,499, $279,018 and $379,242 of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Medical Device Sales

The Company’s medical device sales consist of domestic and international sales of men’s health products for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The men’s health products include Vacuum Erection Devices, and VenoSeal. Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue from medical device sales when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. In the contracts with its customers, the Company has identified a single performance obligation to provide medical devices upon receipt of a customer order. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the Company’s customers obtain control of the medical device, which is typically upon shipment. The Company invoices its customers after the medical devices have been shipped and invoice payments are generally due within 30 days of invoice date for domestic customers and 90 days for international customers.

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

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that generally allows its customers to return medical devices and receive credit for products within 90 days of the sale. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future product returns and historical experience. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Contract Costs

In relation to customer contracts, the Company incurs costs to fulfill a contract but does not incur costs to obtain a contract. These costs to fulfill a contract do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. As such, the Company did not have any contract assets at September 30, 2023, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022.

Contract Liabilities

Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with a customer has been satisfied. In the event it has not been satisfied, the Company records deferred revenue as a liability on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, deferred revenue was $0, $281,372 and $70,343 respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820 (Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures), we use a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed from market data obtained from outside sources (observable inputs) and our own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed from the best information available to us in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company reviews the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or the period over which they should be amortized has changed. When indicators of impairment exist, the Company determines whether the estimated undiscounted sum of the future cash flows of such assets is less than their carrying amounts. If less, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of such assets exceeds their respective fair values. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of each intangible asset that is being amortized during each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life has changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company noted that indicators of impairment existed and prepared an undiscounted cash flow analysis, which indicated, for the Stendra(R) product an impairment. The Company then prepared a discounted cash flow analysis resulting in an impairment of approximately $7.5 million.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if such instruments contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. Embedded derivatives must be separately measured from the host contract if all the requirements for bifurcation are met. The assessment of the conditions surrounding the bifurcation of embedded derivatives depends on the nature of the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations each period. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are classified separately from the related host contract in the Company’s balance sheet.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

The Company computes basic net loss per common share by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the anti-dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common stocks. The Company computes diluted net loss per common stock by dividing the net loss applicable to common stocks by the sum of the weighted-average number of common stocks outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common stocks, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. Because the impact of these items is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. See Note 12 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13, together with a series of subsequently issued related ASUs, has been codified in Topic 326. Topic 326 establishes new requirements for companies to estimate expected credit losses when measuring certain financial assets, including accounts receivables. The Company adopted the new guidance with its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective July 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
