Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Eyenovia, Inc. (“Eyenovia” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage ophthalmic pharmaceutical technology company developing a pipeline of microdose array print therapeutics based on its Optejet platform. MicroPine, its leading late-stage candidate for the multi-billion dollar pediatric progressive myopia market has been licensed to Arctic Vision (Hong Kong) Limited (“Arctic Vision”) in China and South Korea. In the United States, Eyenovia is also focused on the commercialization of its two Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-approved products: Mydcombi (tropicamide and phenylephrine ophthalmic HCI spray) 1%/2.5% for mydriasis, as well as clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05% to reduce pain and inflammation following ocular surgery.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and for the year then ended, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 18, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on April 26, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K Amendment”).

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The cost of inventory that is sold to third parties is included within cost of sales. The Company will periodically review for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventories.

Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, plus fully vested shares that are subject to issuance for little or no monetary consideration. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share:

Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, except as disclosed.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures (Topic 280), which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on both an annual and interim basis. The guidance becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07.
9
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Overview
We are an ophthalmic technology company focused on the late-stage development of MicroPine in the multi-billion dollar pediatric progressive myopia market while commercializing Mydcombi™ (tropicamide and phenylephrine HCL ophthalmic spray) for inducing mydriasis for routine diagnostic procedures and in conditions where short term pupil dilation is desired, and clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension, for the treatment of post-operative pain and inflammation following ocular surgery. We are also developing the Optejet® delivery system both for use in combination with our own drug-device therapeutic programs and for out-licensing for use in combination with therapeutics for additional indications. Our aim is to improve the delivery of topical ophthalmic medication through the ergonomic design of the Optejet which facilitates ease-of-use and delivery of more physiologically appropriate medication volume, with the goal to reduce side effects and improve tolerability, and introduce digital health technology to improve therapy compliance and ultimately medical outcomes.
The ergonomic and functional design of the Optejet allows for horizontal drug delivery and eliminates the need to tilt the head back or the manual dexterity to squeeze a bottle, to administer medications. Drug is delivered in a microscopic array of droplets faster than the blink reflex to help ensure instillation success. The precise delivery of a low-volume columnar spray by the Optejet device minimizes contamination risk with a non-protruding nozzle and self-closing shutter. In clinical trials, the Optejet has demonstrated that its targeted delivery achieves a high rate of successful administration, with 98% of sprays being accurately delivered upon first attempt compared to the established rate reported with traditional eye drops of approximately 50%.
17
A more physiologically appropriate volume of medication in the range of seven to nine microliters is delivered by the Optejet, which is approximately one-fifth of the 35 to 50 microliter dose typically delivered in a single eye drop. Lower volume of medication exposes the ocular surface to less active ingredient and preservatives, potentially reducing ocular stress and surface damage and improving tolerability. The lower volume also minimizes the potential for drug to enter systemic circulation, with the goal of avoiding some common side effects that are related to overdosing of the eye.
We are developing versions of the Optejet with on-board digital technology that records the date and time of each use. These data may be used to provide reminders via Bluetooth to smart devices and to allow healthcare practitioners to monitor usage. This information can then be used by practitioners and health care systems to measure treatment compliance and improve medical decision making. In this way, the Optejet could serve as an extension of the physician’s office by providing information that is not currently possible to collect except through the use of diaries.
Our drug-device product line includes Mydcombi (tropicamide and phenylephrine HCL ophthalmic spray) and therapeutic programs MicroPine (atropine ophthalmic spray) and MicroLine (pilocarpine ophthalmic spray). MicroPine is our first-in-class topical therapy for the treatment of progressive myopia, a disease associated with pathologic axial elongation of the eye and sclero-retinal stretching. In the United States, myopia is estimated to affect approximately 25 million children, with up to five million considered to be at high risk for progressive myopia. In February 2019, the FDA accepted our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) to initiate the CHAPERONE study to reduce the progression of myopia in children. The first patient was enrolled in the CHAPERONE study in June 2019.
On October 9, 2020, we entered into a license agreement with Bausch + Lomb, pursuant to which Bausch + Lomb had the rights to develop and commercialize MicroPine in the United States and Canada. Under the terms of the Bausch License Agreement, we received an upfront payment of $10.0 million and were eligible to receive up to a total of $35.0 million in additional payments, based on the achievement of certain regulatory and launch-based milestones. Bausch + Lomb also agreed to pay royalties to Eyenovia on a tiered basis (ranging from mid-single digit to mid-teen percentages) on gross profits from sales of MicroPine in the United States and Canada, subject to certain adjustments. Under the terms of the Bausch License Agreement, Bausch + Lomb assumed sponsorship of the IND as well as ownership and the costs related to the ongoing CHAPERONE study.
On January 12, 2024, we entered into an agreement with Bausch + Lomb to reacquire our rights to MicroPine and take control of the CHAPERONE study. In this agreement, we agreed to pay Bausch + Lomb $2.0 million in cash up front. Upon transfer of the regulatory documents and study elements to us on April 11, 2024, we issued 2,299,397 shares to Bausch + Lomb on May 3, 2024 (calculated pursuant to the Letter Agreement at $3.0 million using a thirty-day volume-weighted average price on April 11, 2024, but valued at $2.3 million on the May 3, 2024 settlement date). We also agreed to pay Bausch + Lomb a low single-digit royalty on net sales once MicroPine is commercialized in the United States, assuming receipt of regulatory approvals. We believe that this new arrangement is in our and our shareholders’ best interests, as it may substantially increase the value of the asset through potential improvements in the conduct of the study, including a planned interim analysis of the data in late 2024. On April 23, 2024, the Company and Bausch + Lomb entered into the Side Letter, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay approximately $0.5 million to Bausch + Lomb related to defective clinical supply. It was also agreed that the Company will receive approximately $0.25 million from Bausch + Lomb related to amounts previously held back from vendors that will be due upon completion of the CHAPERONE study. In addition, the Company purchased $0.5 million of clinical supplies from Bausch + Lomb in April 2024.
We have also successfully expanded our manufacturing capabilities through a partnership with Coastline International, Inc. located in Tijuana, Mexico, as well as the construction of our new manufacturing facility in Reno, Nevada and the construction of our own fill and finish facility in Redwood City, California. The FDA approved the use of both Coastline International and our Redwood City facility for the production of Mydcombi cartridges, and the use of our Reno facility for the production of technical elements such as the base unit for the Optejet device.
MicroLine is our investigational pharmacologic treatment for presbyopia, a non-preventable, age-related hardening of the lens, which causes the gradual loss of the eye’s ability to focus on near objects and impairs near visual acuity. There are two FDA-approved treatments for presbyopia which use pilocarpine, the same drug used in our investigational product. We have completed two Phase III studies using our Optejet device. In these studies, patients reported high satisfaction with using the device and a strong preference over using an eye dropper bottle. We released positive top-line results from VISION-2 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Mydcombi is the only FDA-approved fixed combination of the two leading mydriatic agents, tropicamide and phenylephrine in the United States and our first FDA-approved product. As an ophthalmic spray delivered with Optejet technology, Mydcombi may present a number of benefits for ophthalmic surgical centers, optometric and ophthalmic offices and patients. Those benefits may include improved cost-effectiveness in centers that employ single-use bottles for mydriasis, more efficient use of office time and resources, and an overall improved doctor-patient experience. We have begun the commercialization of Mydcombi, with the first commercial sale of the product occurring on August 3, 2023 as part of a targeted launch, expanded our launch with the hiring and onboarding of nine sales representatives through August 1, 2024. We received FDA approval for our primary Mydcombi manufacturing facility in February 2024, which we believe will allow us to expand and continue to build our manufacturing operations. On July 24, 2024, we received written comments from the FDA outlining the design of a clinical bridging study to transition Mydcombi into our new Gen-2 Optejet device, which has a significantly lower cost to manufacture than the currently approved product.
On August 10, 2020, we entered into a license agreement with Arctic Vision (as amended on September 14, 2021, the “Arctic Vision License Agreement”) pursuant to which Arctic Vision may develop and commercialize MicroPine, MicroLine and Mydcombi in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and South Korea. Under the terms of the Arctic Vision License Agreement, we received an upfront payment of $4.25 million before any payments to Senju Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd. (“Senju”). In addition, we may receive up to a total of $37.7 million in additional payments, based on various development and regulatory milestones, including the initiation of clinical research and approvals in Greater China and South Korea, and development costs. Arctic Vision also will purchase its supply of MicroPine, MicroLine and Mydcombi from Eyenovia or, for such products not supplied by Eyenovia, pay a mid-single digit percentage royalty on net sales of such products, subject to certain adjustments. We will pay between 30 and 40 percent of such payments, royalties, or net proceeds of such supply to Senju pursuant to an exclusive license agreement with Senju dated March 8, 2015, as amended.
We are in active discussions with manufacturers of existing and late-stage ophthalmic medications to explore whether development with the Optejet technology can solve unmet medical and business needs. Some of those business needs could include extension of exclusivity under the Optejet patents, improvement in a drug’s tolerability profile, or potential improvement in treatment compliance.
On August 15, 2023, we entered into a license agreement with Formosa, whereby we acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to commercialize any product related to a novel formulation of clobetasol propionate ophthalmic suspension 0.05% (the “Licensed Product”), which was approved by the FDA, for post-operative inflammation and pain after ocular surgery, on March 4, 2024. The License will remain in effect for ten years from the date of the first commercial sale of a Licensed Product, unless earlier terminated.
We paid Formosa an upfront payment in an aggregate amount of $2.0 million which consisted of (a) cash in the amount of $1.0 million and (b) 487,805 shares of common stock valued pursuant to the License Agreement at $1.0 million. We also capitalized $122,945 of transaction costs in connection with the License. In addition, we agreed to pay Formosa up to $4.0 million upon the achievement of certain development milestones and up to $80 million upon the achievement of certain sales milestones. The trigger for the initial $2.0 million development milestone payment was FDA approval of the Licensed Product and the effective date of the acceptance by the Company of the transfer and assignment of the FDA approval, which occurred on March 14, 2024. Based on the achievement of this milestone, we paid Formosa (a) cash in the amount of $1.0 million on April 26, 2024 and (b) 613,496 shares of common stock (calculated pursuant to the License Agreement at $1.0 million using a five-day volume-weighted average price on March 14, 2024, but valued at $0.4 million on the April 29, 2024 settlement date). The remaining $2.0 million development milestone (to be fully paid in cash) was earned and accrued upon FDA approval, but payment will be triggered on the earlier of twelve months after FDA approval of the Licensed Product or six months following the first commercial sale of the Licensed Product.
On July 23, 2024, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Senju, under which the companies intend to work to develop EYEN-520, a combination of Senju’s corneal epithelial wound healing candidate with our Optejet dispensing technology, as a potential treatment for chronic dry eye disease. The companies anticipate a meeting with the FDA in late 2024, to be followed by execution of a definitive agreement related to the further development of the product and anticipated completion of a Phase 2b study in 2025. If successful, the collaboration agreement could be expanded to bring the product into two Phase 3 studies by 2026.
19
On July 26, 2024, we received notice from the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) providing notification that the Company had regained compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Previously, Nasdaq had notified us on July 2, 2024 that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our common stock had been below the minimum requirement of $1.00 per share. The notification letter stated that we would be provided 180 calendar days to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock had to be at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before December 30, 2024. Subsequently, the Staff determined that, from July 12 to July 25, 2024, the closing bid price of our common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Historically, we have financed our operations principally through equity offerings. We have also generated cash through licensing arrangements and our credit facilities with Leerink Partners and Avenue. However, based upon our current operating plan, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that our financial statements were issued. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to complete additional licensing or business development transactions or raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to support our future operations. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and/or take additional measures to reduce costs.
Our net losses were $11.1 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of approximately $8.6 million and $167.5 million, respectively.
Financial Overview
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
Revenue is earned from the sale of our product, Mydcombi. The first commercial sale of the product occurred on August 3, 2023 as part of a targeted launch and we expanded our launch with the onboarding of nine sales representatives through July 15, 2024.
Cost of sales consisted of the cost of the production of the Mydcombi ophthalmic spray that was sold and the write-down of inventories to net realizable value.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses are incurred in connection with the research and development of our microdose therapeutics and consist primarily of contract service expenses. Given where we are in our life cycle, we do not separately track research and development expenses by project. Our research and development expenses consist of:
| ● | direct clinical and non-clinical expenses, which include expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, and costs associated with preclinical activities, development activities and regulatory activities; |
| ● | personnel-related expenses, which include expenses related to consulting agreements with individuals that have since entered into employment agreements with us as well as salaries and other compensation of employees that is attributable to research and development activities; and |
| ● | facilities and other expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, marketing, insurance and other supplies used in research and development activities. |
We expense research and development costs as incurred. We record costs for some development activities, such as clinical trials, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as subject enrollment, clinical site activations or other information our vendors provide to us.
We expect that our research and development expenses will increase with the continuation of these initiatives.
20
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related expenses, legal and other professional services, insurance expense, and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we increase our headcount to support our continued research and development and the potential commercialization of our product candidates.
Reacquisition of License Rights
Reacquisition of license rights consists of the expense related to the payments that we are required to pay Bausch + Lomb in connection to the reacquisition of the license.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists of (a) other income (expense) related to our sales of clinical supply to our licensees; (b) changes in fair value of equity consideration (the equity payable for the Baush + Lomb and Formosa transactions); (c) interest income earned on Treasury bills; and (d) interest expense incurred on our indebtedness.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenue and Cost of Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $22,625, which was offset by cost of revenues of ($490,361). Write-down of inventories to net realizable value for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $0.5 million, compared to no expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.5 million represented the write-down of short-dated inventory to net realizable value. The negative gross loss was primarily due to write-downs of commercial inventory that were still on the balance sheet at June 30, 2024.
No revenue was earned or recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $4.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 64%, compared to $2.8 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Research and development expenses consisted of the following:

21
The increase in supplies and materials expense was primarily due to (a) the expensing of Gen-1 MicroPine vials and cartridges that will now be used in Eyenovia-led clinical trials rather than being sold to Bausch as a result of the reacquisition of the Bausch license rights; (b) drug formulation engineering batches; and (c) the purchase of parts for the Gen-2 device that are intended to be used for Eyenovia-led clinical trials. The increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses was primarily due to new grants in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in direct clinical and non-clinical expenses was primarily due to increased costs related to Gen-2 R&D, Mydcombi stability testing and clinical regulatory expenses. The decrease in facilities expenses was due to costs incurred in 2023 related to getting the new Reno facility online that were not incurred in 2024. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily due to increased equipment purchases and equipment placed in service during the last two quarters of 2023 and the first and second quarters of 2024. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increased IT expenses related to data tracking and cybersecurity.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $3.8 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 19%, compared to $3.1 million recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

The increase in personnel-related expenses was mainly due to new staff additions made to support commercialization during the last two quarters of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in stock-based compensation expenses was primarily due to the ending of the amortization period for older equity grants. The increase in travel, lodging and meals was primarily due to increased travel between our New York, Nevada and California locations, an increase in the number of investor conferences attended and increased travel by the sales team to promote Mycombi. The increase in other expenses is primarily due to commercial regulatory costs for Mydcombi.
Reacquisition of License Rights
Reacquisition of license rights for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $2.9 million, compared to no expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.9 million amount is comprised of the $3.0 million settled in common stock to Bausch + Lomb in the second quarter 2024 in connection with the reacquisition of the license (which we are recording as an operating expense), offset by $0.1 million of the purchase price allocated to the repurchase of equipment.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $0.6 million of net other income, a decrease of $0.9 million, compared to ($0.3 million) of net other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily consisted of approximately $0.7 million of interest expense related to the Avenue loan, partially offset by $1.2 million of changes in fair value of equity consideration (the equity payable for the Baush + Lomb and Formosa transactions) and $0.1 million of interest income primarily from Treasury bills.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $27,618, which was offset by cost of revenues of ($693,388). Write-down of inventories to net realizable value for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $0.7 million, compared to no expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.7 million was comprised of the adjustment to bring the inventory to list price for the first quarter of 2024 and the write-down of short-dated inventory to net realizable value for the second quarter of 2024. The negative gross loss was primarily due to write-downs of commercial inventory that were still on the balance sheet at June 30, 2024.
No revenue was earned or recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $9.0 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 69%, compared to $5.3 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Research and development expenses consisted of the following:

Total research and development expenses | $ | 9,028,774 | $ | 5,333,011 | ||
The increase in personnel-related expenses was primarily due to new staff additions made to support commercialization during the last two quarters of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The increase in supplies and materials expense was primarily due to (a) the expensing of Gen-1 MicroPine vials and cartridges that will now be used in Eyenovia-led clinical trials rather than being sold to Bausch + Lomb as a result of the reacquisition of the Bausch license rights; (b) drug formulation engineering batches; and (c) the purchase of parts for the Gen-2 device that are intended to be used in Eyenovia-led clinical trials. The increase in direct clinical and non-clinical expenses was primarily due to increased costs related to Gen-2 R&D, Mydcombi stability testing and clinical regulatory expenses. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily due to increased equipment purchases and equipment placed in service during the last two quarters of 2023 and the first and second quarters of 2024. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increased IT expenses related to data tracking and cybersecurity.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $7.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 22%, compared to $6.1 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023. General and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

The increase in personnel-related expenses was mainly due to new staff additions related to commercialization efforts made during the last two quarters of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to the short-term need for temporary staff while in the process of hiring permanent employees. The decrease in stock-based compensation expenses was primarily due to the ending of the amortization period for older equity grants. The increase in travel, lodging and meals was primarily due to increased travel between our New York, Nevada and California locations, an increase in the number of investor conferences attended and increased travel by the sales team to promote Mycombi. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to commercial regulatory costs for Mydcombi.
Reacquisition of License Rights
Reacquisition of license rights for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $4.9 million, compared to no expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $4.9 million in the account is comprised of the aggregate $5.0 million of payments ($2.0 million of cash and $3.0 million settled in common stock) to Bausch + Lomb in connection with the reacquisition of the license (which we are recording as an operating expense), offset by $0.1 million related to the repurchase of equipment.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately ($20,632) of net other expense, a decrease of $0.5 million, compared to $0.5 million of net other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily consisted of approximately $1.4 million of interest expense related to the Avenue loan and $0.1 million related to the charge for the defective clinical supply settlement (see Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies – Defective Clinical Supply), partially offset by $1.2 million of changes in fair value of equity consideration (the equity payable for the Baush + Lomb and Formosa transactions) and $0.2 million of interest income primarily from Treasury bills.

Cash Flow
Since inception, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations and our operations have primarily been funded by proceeds from equity and debt financings.
Our net losses were $22.0 million and $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $167.5 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $2.3 million, a working capital deficit of $8.6 million and stockholders’ deficiency of $2.4 million. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $15.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of gross debt outstanding.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. Our financial statements do not include adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities to support our future operations and the potential for entering into collaborations with other companies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings. Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund research and development activities including clinical studies, working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to further improve the marketability of our product and service offerings. If we are unable to secure additional capital, we may be required to curtail our research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce general and administrative and sales and marketing costs in order to conserve our cash.
On July 1, 2024, the Company raised $5.0 million of gross proceeds from a registered direct offering of equity securities. Also, subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company raised $0.8 million of gross proceeds from its ongoing “at-the-market” offering.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $18.1 million, which includes cash used to fund a net loss of $22.0 million, reduced by $4.6 million of net non-cash expenses, plus $0.7 million of net cash used by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $11.7 million, which includes cash used to fund a net loss of $12.0 million, reduced by $2.1 million of non-cash expenses, plus $1.8 million of cash used to fund changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.2 million, which was primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.1 million, which was related to purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled approximately $5.7 million, which was primarily attributable to $1.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in a registered direct offering, $4.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of common stock in our “at-the-market” offering pursuant to the Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners, partially offset by $1.1 million from the repayment of notes payable. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 totaled $8.4 million, which was attributable to $3.9 million of net proceeds received from sales under our “at-the-market” offering and $4.9 million of net proceeds from the additional tranche under the Loan and Security Agreement with Avenue. This was partially offset by the repayment of $0.4 million of notes payable in connection with the D&O Loan.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
During the next twelve months we have commitments to pay (a) $5.7 million to settle our June 30, 2024 accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, (b) $0.6 million relating to our non-cancelable operating lease commitments, and (c) $10.3 million of gross payments due under our notes payable, convertible notes payable (if not previously converted) and D&O Loan.
After the next twelve months we have commitments to pay (a) an additional $1.0 million relating to our non-cancelable operating lease commitments, and (b) $4.8 million of gross payments due in connection with notes payable and convertible notes payable (if not previously converted).

Risks and Uncertainties
The continuing worldwide implications of the war between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East remain difficult to predict at this time. The imposition of sanctions on Russia by the United States and other countries and counter sanctions by Russia, and the resulting economic impacts on oil prices and other materials and goods, could affect the price of materials used in the manufacture of our product candidates. If the price of materials used in the manufacturing of our product candidates increase, that would adversely affect our business and the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in financial conditions, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Estimates
As described in Item 7 – Critical Accounting Estimates in our 2023 Form 10-K, as amended by our 2023 Form 10-K Amendment, we prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Smaller reporting companies such as Eyenovia are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
26
Based on their evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to, and were effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of June 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us due to defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 Form 10-K, as amended by our 2023 Form 10-K Amendment.
