This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus from time to time of up to 2,391,348 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. These 2,391,348 shares of common stock consist of:

● 641,406 shares of common stock (the “PIPE Shares”) that were issued in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2021, by and among us and the several purchasers named therein (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”);

● 1,639,942 shares of common stock (the “Investor Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) that were issued in the Private Placement pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement; and

The PIPE Shares and the Warrants were issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each purchaser represented that it was an “accredited investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). We are registering the PIPE Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants to allow the selling stockholders named herein to, from time to time, offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus.

We are registering the offer and resale of the PIPE Shares and the Investor Warrant Shares pursuant to a provision in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Our registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of such shares of common stock. The selling stockholders named in this prospectus, or their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest, may resell the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders, you should refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.

Any shares of common stock subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and acquired by the selling stockholders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus.

No underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of the common stock in this offering. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the common stock.

This prospectus is part of the registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which the selling stockholders named herein may, from time to time, offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary provides an overview of selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read the prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in their entirety before investing in our securities, including the information discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, or any accompanying prospectus supplement before making an investment decision . In this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, “Petros,” the “Company,” the “registrant,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ours” refer to Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on men’s health therapeutics, consisting of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“Metuchen”), Timm Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). We are 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. 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 have acquired an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize H100™, a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business and an investment in our company is subject to numerous risks, many of which are discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” set forth in this prospectus. Some of these risks include:

● Petros has incurred significant losses, and may continue to experience losses in the future.

● We expect to require additional capital in the future in order to develop our products, fund operations, and otherwise implement our business strategy. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, it may be difficult to effectively realize our long-term strategic goals and objectives.

● We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

● Petros is reliant on the continued support from its largest shareholder for adequate financing of Petros’ operations.

● JCP III SM AIV, L.P. maintains the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to Petros’ stockholders for approval.

● Petros’ license agreement for Stendra® is a sublicense that is dependent on Vivus’ license agreement with a third party.

● Petros relies on third-party contract manufacturers to produce commercial quantities of its products.

● Petros relies on third parties for the supply of the raw materials necessary to develop and manufacture its products.

● Changes in product or product candidate manufacturing or formulation may result in additional costs or delay.

● We have terminated our contract with a major supplier, and if we are unable to enter into a contract with a new supplier in a timely manner it could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

● Petros is dependent on a single distributor for Stendra®.

● Petros is substantially dependent on a limited number of commercial products. Any difficulties or delays in product manufacturing, regulatory compliance, sales or marketing could affect Petros’ future results.

● Petros recorded revenues of approximately $6.2 million from sales of Stendra® in the first nine months of 2021, which accounted for 71.8% of Petros’ total revenues in that period.

● We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and the loss of, or a significant shortfall in demand from, these customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

● Regulatory approval is limited by the FDA to those specific indications and conditions for which approval has been granted. Petros may be subject to fines, penalties, injunctions, or other enforcement actions if regulatory authorities determine that it is promoting any products for unapproved or “off-label” uses, resulting in reputational and business damage.

1

● Products may face competition from generic drug products and other similar drug products.

● Petros’ approved drug products are subject to ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense. Additionally, drug products could be subject to labeling and other restrictions and market withdrawal, and Petros may be subject to penalties if it fails to comply with regulatory requirements or experiences unanticipated product problems.

● Petros’ medical devices are subject to stringent regulatory oversight and any adverse regulatory action may adversely affect our financial condition and business operations.

● If Petros is unable to advance its product candidates, including H100™, in clinical development, obtain regulatory approval and ultimately commercialize its product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, its business may be materially harmed.

● Petros has concluded that there are material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remediated, could materially adversely affect its ability to timely and accurately report its results of operations and financial condition. The accuracy of Petros’ financial reporting depends on the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting.

● Petros’ consolidated balance sheet contains significant amounts of intangible assets.

● The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on Petros’ operations, and the operations of its partners, suppliers and logistics providers, could significantly disrupt its operations and may materially and adversely affect its business and financial conditions.

Before making an investment in our common stock, you should review the discussion of risks relating to our business set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) enacted in April 2012. An “emerging growth company” may take advantage of exemptions from some of the reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These exceptions include:

● being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this prospectus;

● not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);

● reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

● exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. However, if certain events occur prior to the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.07 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company prior to the end of such five-year period.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption.

Finally, we are a “smaller reporting company” (and may continue to qualify as such even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company) and accordingly may provide less public disclosure than larger public companies. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the discussion of risks and uncertainties affecting us and our securities, together with other information in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes and the section of this prospectus titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Petros’ Business, Industry and Operations

Petros has incurred significant losses, and may continue to experience losses in the future.

Petros had a net loss of $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and a net loss of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, Petros had an accumulated deficit of $62.5 million. Petros cannot predict if it will achieve profitability soon or at all. Petros expects to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:

● sales and marketing;

● investments in hiring key personnel;

● possible development, regulatory approval and commercialization of H100™ for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease; and

● general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses.

Petros may not generate sufficient revenue to offset such costs to achieve or sustain profitability in the future. Petros expects to continue to invest in its operations and product and business development to maintain and grow its current market position and to meet its expanded reporting and compliance obligations as a public company.

Petros expects its operating losses to continue in the near term in order to carry out its strategic objectives. Petros considers historical operating results, capital resources and financial position, and current projections and estimates as part of its plan to fund operations over a reasonable period of time.

Petros is reliant on the continued support from its largest shareholder for adequate financing of Petros’ operations.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $8.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $20.1 million, including debt of $1.7 million maturing in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to common stockholders of $62.5 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash and cash equivalents on hand, negotiating an extension of our debt arrangement and our liability due to Vivus as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, we obtained a continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., through November 16, 2022.

Petros is dependent on a single distributor for Stendra®.

Although Petros has agreements with the three largest pharmaceutical distributors, it currently depends on McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”) to service those agreements. McKesson, on an exclusive basis, provides distribution of Stendra® to its own retail pharmacies and handles Petros’ distribution to Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”) and AmerisourceBergen Corporation (“AmerisourceBergen”). McKesson’s contract with us contains a provision that allows McKesson to terminate the contract for convenience upon one hundred and eighty (180) days prior notice. If McKesson terminates its contract with Petros, or is otherwise unable or unwilling to perform under its contract, Petros’ business and revenues will be adversely affected unless and until it can identify a suitable replacement.

5

Petros recorded revenues of approximately $6.2 million from sales of Stendra® in the first nine months of 2021, which accounted for 71.8% of Petros’ total revenues in that period.

The success of Petros’ business currently depends on the successful continued commercialization of its main product, Stendra®, which is marketed, distributed and sold under a license agreement from Vivus. Petros may not be successful in commercializing Stendra® beyond its current level. Additionally, if Stendra® were to become subject to problems such as loss of patent protection, changes in prescription growth rates, material product liability litigation, unexpected side effects, regulatory proceedings, publicity affecting doctor or patient confidence, pressure from existing competitive products, changes in labeling, pricing and access pressures, supply shortages or, if a new, more effective treatment should be introduced, there would be an adverse impact on Petros’ revenues, which could be significant.

Petros’ license agreement for Stendra® is a sublicense that is dependent on Vivus’ license agreement with a third party.

Revenues from Stendra® represent a significant percentage of Petros’ overall revenues. Petros’ rights to market, distribute and sell avanafil (the active ingredient in Stendra®) are granted under the License Agreement, which is a sublicense under the MTPC License (as defined below). The MTPC License contains certain termination rights that would allow MTPC (as defined below) 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, Petros has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow Petros to continue to sell Stendra®.

Petros was previously subject to the terms of a commercial supply agreement with Vivus and may still be subject to substantial payment obligations thereunder.

In addition to the License Agreement, Petros entered into a commercial supply agreement with Vivus for Stendra® on September 30, 2016 (the “Supply Agreement”), which required Petros to purchase certain minimum quantities of Stendra® in each year of the Supply Agreement term. In connection with the Supply Agreement, Vivus has claimed a shortfall of approximately $14.2 million with respect to Petros’ minimum purchase requirements in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Vivus also claims that Petros is responsible for the costs owed by Vivus to CVS Pharmacy in connection with returns of Stendra® in the amount of approximately $6.5 million that were delivered to CVS Pharmacy and later returned. Petros is currently in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but it may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million. If required to pay these amounts to Vivus, this may adversely affect the financial condition of Petros. During the year ended December 31, 2020 and the first nine months of 2021, Petros did not take possession of any minimum quantities of Stendra®.

We have terminated our contract with a major supplier, and if we are unable to enter into a contract with a new supplier in a timely manner it could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Petros entered into the Supply Agreement with Vivus  for Stendra® on September 30, 2016, which has since been terminated effective as of September 30, 2021. Up to that point, Petros obtained its supply of Stendra® from Vivus pursuant to the Supply Agreement. We are currently negotiating with alternative vendors to manufacture our Stendra® product and replace Vivus. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into a supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us. If we are unable to come to an agreement with an alternative vendor in a timely manner, we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of Stendra®, which would reduce our ability to make sales, deplete inventory, and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Vivus has granted a license to Hetero USA, Inc. and Hetero Labs Limited to manufacture and commercialize the generic version of Stendra® in the United States once it comes off patent.

On January 3, 2017, Vivus granted Hetero USA, Inc. and Hetero Labs Limited (collectively, “Hetero”) a license to manufacture and commercialize the generic version of Stendra® described in its abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) filing in the United States as of the date that is the later of (a) October 29, 2024, which is 180 days prior to the expiration of the last to expire of the patents-in-suit, or (b) the date that Hetero obtains final approval from FDA of the Hetero ANDA.

Future competition from generic versions could negatively impact the sales volume of Stendra®, and prices for pharmaceutical products typically decline following generic entry onto the market. The date on which generic competition with Stendra® begins may be different from the date that the patent or regulatory exclusivity expires, and instead may occur upon the loss or expiration of patent protection or

6

upon the “at-risk” launch (despite pending patent infringement litigation against the generic product) by a generic manufacturer of a generic version of Stendra®. If that should occur, Petros could lose a significant portion of revenues for Stendra® which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Petros relies on a combination of several different channels to promote its products to physicians and patients in the United States and internationally.

Petros currently relies on a variety of channels to market and sell its products, including:

● sales representatives who promote Stendra® directly to high-volume physician prescribers of ED therapies and target physicians at trade associations;

● online digital strategies, including search engine optimization and targeted advertisements, target physicians and consumers;

● targeting of managed care organizations to deliver value-based contracts and improve placement for Stendra® on approved drug lists;

● collaboration with specialty pharmacies that provide personalized service to physicians and patients, including discreet shipping to patients’ homes; and

● direct marketing of our medical devices to urology offices domestically and internationally.

Petros will continue to depend on these strategies, partners and distribution channels in order to promote and sell its products. Petros cannot assure you that these strategies will enable it to successfully market and sell its products. Failure to successfully market and sell its products would have a material adverse effect on Petros’ business, financial condition and results of operations.

Petros is substantially dependent on a limited number of commercial products. Any difficulties or delays in product manufacturing, regulatory compliance, sales or marketing could affect Petros’ future results.

Petros’ ability to achieve its business objectives is directly dependent on its ability to get its products to market, and any delays or difficulties in manufacturing, regulatory compliance, sales or marketing could have an adverse impact, including but not limited to the following types of events:

● failure to predict market demand for, or to gain market acceptance of, approved products;

● failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, which could result in costly and disruptive enforcement actions, or otherwise require costly and disruptive corrective actions;

● delays, unavailability, or undetected defects with respect to product manufacturing materials;

● failure to maintain appropriate quality standards throughout the internal and external supply network or comply with cGMPs or other regulations;

● failure to establishment and maintain of adequate healthcare coverage and reimbursement;

● failure to establish and maintain market demand and acceptance for Petros’ products through marketing and sales activities, and any other arrangements to promote these products;

● failure to adequately train sales and marketing personnel regarding regulatory compliance matters and any exposure that Petros may face due to noncompliance of such personnel;

● failure to establish and maintain agreements with wholesalers, distributors, and group purchasing organizations on commercially reasonable terms;

● failure to manufacture products in sufficient quantities and at acceptable quality and manufacturing cost to meet commercial demand;

● failure to effectively compete with other products on the market;

● failure to maintain a continued acceptable product safety and efficacy profile;

● interruptions to supply chain continuity or commercial operations as a result of man-made or natural disasters; and

● failure to maintain supply chain integrity against intentional and criminal acts.

The FDA may determine that Petros’ products or product candidates have undesirable side effects that could result in regulatory action, impede commercialization, or delay or prevent their regulatory approval.

Undesirable side effects caused by Petros’ products or product candidates could adversely and materially harm the business. Undesirable side effects could limit Petros’ ability to commercialize the products, could result in product liability suits, and could result in regulatory actions, such as, but not limited to withdrawal of the products from the market, withdrawal of marketing approvals, safety

communications or warnings, revisions to product labeling to add warnings or other precautions, or prompt regulators to require that Petros implement risk mitigation steps, such as post-approval studies, Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”), and/or other strategies. Undesirable side effects could impact the ability of the Petros to complete product development, may require that development be limited to certain uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severe or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective, could cause Petros, an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”), or other reviewing entities or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay, or halt clinical trials and could result in a more restrictive label or the delay or denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other comparable foreign authorities. Undesirable side effects caused by or any unexpected characteristics for product candidates could also result in denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other comparable foreign authorities for any or all targeted indications or the inclusion of unfavorable information in product labeling, such as limitations on the indicated uses or populations for which the products may be marketed or distributed, a label with significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings, contraindications, and precautions, a label without statements necessary or desirable for successful commercialization, or may result in requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance, or other requirements, including REMS, to monitor the safety or efficacy of the products. Should any of the foregoing occur, Petros’ business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially harmed.

Petros relies on third-party contract manufacturers to produce commercial quantities of its products.

Petros currently only has facilities to assemble its VED products, and therefore must rely on qualified third-party contract manufactures with appropriate facilities and equipment to contract manufacture commercial quantities of products. Petros also relies on contract manufacturers to produce quantities of its product candidates to support its development programs. Petros expects to pursue additional contract manufacturing for certain of its products in the future. Any performance failure on the part of its contract manufacturers could delay production or delivery of any approved products and could delay product candidate development programs, depriving Petros of potential product revenue and resulting in development programs taking longer than planned. Failure by Petros’ contract manufacturers to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards could result in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or failures in testing or delivery, delays in development programs, withdrawals of marketing approvals, refusal of regulatory authorities to approve new marketing applications or supplements, cost overruns or other problems that could materially adversely affect its business. Contract manufacturers may encounter difficulties involving production yields, quality control and quality assurance.

These third-party contract manufacturers are also subject to cGMP and/or the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) regulations, which impose extensive procedural and documentation requirements. The FDA and corresponding state and foreign agencies perform ongoing periodic unannounced inspections to ensure strict compliance with cGMP/QSR and other applicable government regulations. Prior to approving a marketing application, manufacturers will also need to validate their manufacturing process. The FDA will also inspect the proposed manufacturing facilities to confirm that they can produce products meeting the FDA’s regulatory standards. Failure to comply with these requirements may subject Petros to possible legal or regulatory actions, such as warning letters, suspension of manufacturing, seizure of product, injunctions, debarment, voluntary recall of a product or failure to secure product approvals, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Petros’ business, financial condition and results of operations. Beyond contractual remedies that may be available to it, Petros does not have control over third-party manufacturers’ compliance with these regulations and standards.

If, for any reason, Petros’ contract manufacturers cannot perform as agreed, it may be required to replace them. Although Petros believes there are a number of potential replacements, it may incur added costs and delays in identifying and qualifying any such replacements. Petros may compete with other companies for access to manufacturing facilities that can produce products in accordance with the FDA’s regulatory standards. If third party manufacturers should cease to continue to provide manufacturing services for any reason, Petros likely would experience delays in obtaining sufficient quantities of its products and product candidates to meet commercial demand or advance its development programs. Third-party facilities may also be affected by natural disasters, such as floods or fire, health pandemics or outbreaks, or such facilities could face manufacturing issues, such as contamination or regulatory findings following a regulatory inspection of such facility. In such instances, Petros may need to locate an appropriate replacement third-party relationship, which may not be readily available or on acceptable terms, which would cause additional delay and increased expense. The addition of a new or alternative manufacturer may also require FDA approvals and may have a material adverse effect on our business.

The inability of a manufacturer to ship orders of our products in a timely manner or to meet quality standards could cause Petros to miss the delivery date requirements of its customers for those items, which could result in cancellation of orders, refusal to accept deliveries or a reduction in purchase prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect as Petros’ revenue would decrease and it would incur net losses as a result of sales of the product, if any sales could be made.

Petros relies on third parties for the supply of the raw materials necessary to develop and manufacture its products.

Petros is dependent on third parties for the supply of the raw materials necessary to develop and manufacture its products, including the active and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients used in its products. Petros is required to identify the supplier of all the raw materials for all FDA-approved products that it acquires from others. If raw materials for a particular product become unavailable from an approved supplier specified in a drug application, Petros would be required to qualify a substitute supplier with the FDA and, depending on the supplier, provide the FDA with notice or receive FDA approval for the supplier, which would likely delay or interrupt manufacturing of the affected product. Failure of suppliers to meet the applicable regulatory standards could also result in enforcement actions against such suppliers or Petros.

These third parties include foreign suppliers. Arrangements with international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA regulation, various import duties, foreign currency risk and other government clearances. Acts of governments outside and within the United States may affect the price or availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of Petros’ products. In addition, any changes in patent laws in jurisdictions outside the United States may make it increasingly difficult to obtain raw materials for research and development prior to the expiration of the applicable U.S. or foreign patents.

Shortages in or interruptions in the supply of raw materials could potentially delay Petros’ development programs or result in insufficient product quantities to meet commercial demand. Third-party manufacturers’ failure to obtain the raw materials necessary to manufacture sufficient quantities of products and product candidates may have a material adverse effect on Petros’ business.

Changes in product or product candidate manufacturing or formulation may result in additional costs or delay.

Any changes to product or product candidate manufacturing or formulation may materially impact Petros’ business. For approved products, manufacturing changes may require reporting to and/or approval from the applicable regulatory authorities, including the FDA. Regulatory authorities may require substantial, time consuming, and costly manufacturing work as well as studies to support such changes. Any such changes may also not accomplish the intended outcome. Additionally, changes to product candidate manufacturing during product development may also adversely impact the development program. Changes could cause product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of future studies. Such changes may also require additional testing, studies, FDA notification, or FDA approval.

Regulatory approval is limited by the FDA to those specific indications and conditions for which approval has been granted. Petros may be subject to fines, penalties, injunctions, or other enforcement actions if regulatory authorities determine that it is promoting any products for unapproved or “off-label” uses, resulting in reputational and business damage.

Petros must comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotion of FDA regulated products. Promotional communications with respect to therapeutics are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions and continuing review by the FDA, Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General, state attorneys general, members of Congress, and the public. When the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities issue regulatory approval, the approval is limited to those specific uses and indications for which a product is approved. Companies may not market or promote products for those indications and uses, for which the product has not received approval. For devices exempt from Section 510(k) of the FDCA, such as Petros’ VED devices, the FDA requires that companies promote such products consistent with the relevant device classification. Claims outside the scope of the 510(k)-exempt classification would be considered “off-label” and trigger the requirement for a new 510(k) or other premarket submission to FDA. Companies must also be able to sufficiently substantiate any product claims and must abide by the FDA’s strict requirements regarding the content of promotions and advertising.

While physicians may choose to prescribe products for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and for uses that differ from those tested in clinical studies and approved by the regulatory authorities, companies are prohibited from marketing and promoting the products for indications and uses that are not specifically approved by the FDA or, for 510(k)-exempt devices, are outside the scope of the relevant device classification. If Petros is found to have impermissibly promoted any product, it may become subject to significant liability and government fines. The FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations regarding product promotion, particularly those prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses, and a company that is found to have improperly promoted a product may be subject to significant sanctions. The federal government has levied large civil and criminal fines against companies for alleged improper promotion and has enjoined several companies from engaging in off-label promotion. The FDA has also requested that companies enter into consent decrees of permanent injunctions under which specified promotional conduct is changed or curtailed.

9

In the United States, engaging in the impermissible promotion of products for off-label uses can also subject a company to false claims and other litigation under federal and state statutes, including fraud and abuse and consumer protection laws. Such litigation can lead to civil and criminal penalties and fines, agreements with governmental authorities that materially restrict a company’s business through, for example, corporate integrity agreements, suspension or exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, suspension and debarment from government contracts, and refusal of orders under existing government contracts. These false claims statutes include the federal civil False Claims Act, which allows any individual to bring a lawsuit against a company on behalf of the federal government alleging submission of false or fraudulent claims, or causing others to present such false or fraudulent claims, for payment by a federal program such as Medicare or Medicaid. If the government decides to intervene and prevails in the lawsuit, the individual will share in the proceeds from any fines or settlement funds. If the government declines to intervene, the individual may pursue the case alone. These False Claims Act lawsuits have increased significantly in volume and breadth, leading to several substantial civil and criminal settlements, up to $3.0 billion, pertaining to certain sales practices and promoting off-label uses. In addition, False Claims Act lawsuits may expose sponsors to follow-on claims by private payers based on fraudulent marketing practices. This growth in litigation has increased the risk that companies will have to defend a false claim action, and pay settlements fines or restitution, as well as criminal and civil penalties, agree to comply with burdensome reporting and compliance obligations, and be excluded from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal and state healthcare programs.

In the United States, the distribution of drug product samples to physicians must further comply with the requirements of the U.S. Prescription Drug Marketing Act, and the promotion of pharmaceutical products are subject to additional FDA requirements and restrictions on promotional statements. If the FDA determines that promotional activities violate its regulations and policies pertaining to product promotion, it could request the modification of promotional materials or could subject a company to regulatory or other enforcement actions, including issuance of warning letters or untitled letters, suspension or withdrawal of an approved product from the market, requests for recalls, payment of civil fines, disgorgement of money, imposition of operating restrictions, injunctions or criminal prosecution, and other enforcement actions.

To the extent that any of our product candidates may be eligible, Petros may seek orphan drug designation from the FDA. However, there is no guarantee that Petros will be able to maintain this designation, receive this designation, or receive or maintain any corresponding benefits, including periods of exclusivity.

To the extent eligible, Petros may seek orphan drug designation for its product candidates. While orphan drug designation would provide Petros with certain advantages, it neither shortens the development time or regulatory review time of a product candidate nor gives the product candidate any advantage in the regulatory review or approval process.

Generally, if a product candidate with orphan drug designation subsequently receives marketing approval before another product considered by the FDA to be the same, for the same orphan indication, the product is entitled to a period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA from approving another marketing application for the same drug for the same indication for seven years.

Petros may not be able to obtain any future orphan drug designations. Orphan drug designations do not guarantee that Petros will be able to successfully develop its product candidates or maintain any orphan drug designations. For instance, orphan drug designations may be revoked if the FDA finds that the request for designation contained an untrue statement of material fact or omitted material information, or if the FDA finds that the product candidate was not eligible for designation at the time of the submission of the request.

Moreover, even if Petros is able to receive and maintain orphan drug designations, it may ultimately not receive any period of regulatory exclusivity if the product candidate is approved. For instance, Petros may not receive orphan product regulatory exclusivity if the indication for which it receives FDA approval is broader than the orphan drug designation. Orphan exclusivity may also be lost for the same reasons that orphan drug designation may be lost. Orphan exclusivity may further be lost if Petros is unable to assure a sufficient quantity of the product to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition.

Even if Petros obtains orphan exclusivity, that exclusivity may not effectively protect the product from competition, as different products can be approved for the same condition or products that are the same can be approved for different conditions. Even after an orphan product is approved, the FDA can also subsequently approve a product containing the same principal molecular features for the same condition if the FDA concludes that the later product is clinically superior. The FDA may further grant orphan drug designation to multiple sponsors for the same compound or active molecule and for the same indication. If another sponsor receives FDA approval for such product before Petros does, Petros would be prevented from launching its product in the United States for the orphan indication for a period of at least seven years unless it can demonstrate clinical superiority. Moreover, third-party payors may reimburse for products off-label even if not indicated for the orphan condition.

Petros may experience pricing pressure on the price of our products due to social or political pressure to lower the cost of drugs, which would reduce our revenue and future profitability, if achieved.

Federal and state health care programs are increasingly focused on the price of prescription drugs and medical devices, including the expanded use of mandatory rebates and discounts and measures that penalize or prohibit price increases over inflation rates. Public and private third-party payers also may not consider Stendra® or our other products to be medically necessary when prescribed for ED and may decline to cover it. Recent events have resulted in increased public and governmental scrutiny of the cost of drugs, especially in connection with price increases following companies’ acquisitions of the rights to certain drug products. In particular, U.S. federal prosecutors recently issued subpoenas to a pharmaceutical company seeking information about its drug pricing practices, among other issues, and members of the U.S. Congress have sought information from certain pharmaceutical companies relating to post-acquisition drug-price increases. Petros’ revenue and future profitability, if achieved, could be negatively affected if these inquiries were to result in legislative or regulatory proposals that limit its ability to increase the prices of its products.

Pressure from social activist groups and future government regulations may also put downward pressure on the price of drugs, which could result in downward pressure on the prices of Petros’ products in the future.

Private third-party payers and other managed care entities, such as pharmacy benefit managers, continue to take action to manage the utilization of drugs and control the cost of drugs and medical devices.

Consolidation among managed care organizations (“MCOs”) has increased the negotiating power of MCOs and other private third-party payers. Private third-party payers increasingly employ formularies to control costs by taking into account discounts in connection with decisions about formulary inclusion or favorable formulary placement. Failure to obtain or maintain timely adequate pricing or favorable formulary placement for our products, or failure to obtain such formulary placement at favorable pricing, could adversely impact revenue. Private third-party payers, including self-insured employers, often implement formularies with copayment tiers to encourage utilization of certain drugs and have also been raising co-payments required from beneficiaries, particularly for branded pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products Managed care also establishes formularies to control the cost of medical supplies. Payers may limit the number of drugs covered in the therapeutic class or sources in supply categories, cover only generic alternatives to drugs in the class, or impose restrictions on reimbursement of a particular drug or drugs in a class or a particular medical device.

Private third-party payers are also implementing new initiatives such as “copay accumulators” (policies that provide that the value of copay assistance does not count as out-of-pocket costs that are applied toward deductibles) that can shift more of the cost burden to manufacturers and patients. This cost shifting has increased consumer interest and input in medication choices, as they pay for a larger portion of their prescription costs and may cause consumers to favor lower cost generic alternatives to branded pharmaceuticals. As the U.S. payer market consolidates further and as more drugs become available in generic form, biopharmaceutical companies may face greater pricing pressure from private third-party payers, who will continue to drive more of their patients to use lower cost generic alternatives.

Products may face competition from generic drug products and other similar drug products.

If the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities approve generic or similar versions of any of Petros’ products, the sales of Petros’ products could be adversely affected. If the Stendra® NDA is approved, the product may become the “reference listed drug” in the FDA’s Orange Book. Other applicants may then seek approval of generic versions of the product through submission of ANDAs in the United States. In support of an ANDA, a generic applicant would not need to conduct full clinical studies. Rather, the applicant generally must show that its product has the same active ingredient(s), dosage form, strength, route of administration, conditions of use and labeling, among other commonalities, as the reference listed drug and that the generic version is bioequivalent to the reference listed drug, meaning it is available at the site of action at the same rate and to the same extent as the reference listed drug. Generic products may be significantly less costly to bring to market than the reference listed drug and companies that produce generic products are generally able to offer them at lower prices, and are generally preferred by third party payers. As a result, the FDA, executive administrations and Congress have taken steps to encourage increased generic drug competition in the market in an effort to bring down drug costs. The recent change in administration and control of the U.S. Senate may result in initiatives to further such competition or downward pricing.

Following the introduction of a generic drug, a significant percentage of the sales of any branded product or reference listed drug is typically lost to the generic product. Moreover, in addition to generic competition, Petros could face competition from other companies seeking approval of drug products that are similar to the Company’s drug products using the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. Such

11

applicants may be able to rely on Petros’ products, other approved drug products or published literature to develop drug products that are similar to Petros’. The introduction of similar drug products could expose our products to increased competition.

Any ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicants would need to submit patent certification statements with their applications for patents that are listed in the FDA’s Orange Book. There are detailed rules and requirements regarding the patents that may be submitted to the FDA for listing in the Orange Book. Petros may be unable to obtain patents covering its products that contain one or more claims that satisfy the requirements for listing in the Orange Book. Patents not listed in the Orange Book would not receive the protections provided by the Hatch Waxman Act.

Moreover, if an ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant files a paragraph IV challenge to any patents that Petros may list in the FDA’s Orange Book and the Company does not file a patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days of receiving notice of a paragraph IV certification, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant would not be subject to a 30-month stay. Litigation or other proceedings to enforce or defend intellectual property rights, however, would likely be complex in nature, may be expensive and time consuming, may divert management’s attention, and may result in unfavorable results.

Moreover, if any product candidate does not receive any anticipated periods of regulatory exclusivity, that product candidate may face generic or 505(b)(2) product competition sooner than anticipated, which could materially and adversely impact Petros’ business. Finally, there are already generic versions of other ED drugs on the market against which the Petros drug product competes. As generic products, these products are priced below Petros, presenting the risk that patients and their physicians will opt for those products instead of the Petros brand product.

The business that Petros conducts outside the United States may be adversely affected by international risk and uncertainties.

Although Petros’ operations are based in the United States, it conducts certain business outside the U.S. and expects to continue to do so in the future. Currently, Petros possesses the rights to license, develop, market, sell and distribute Stendra® in Canada, South America, and India, and its VED products are also marketed internationally. The active pharmaceutical ingredient for Stendra® is produced in France and shipped to the United States in tablet form for packaging. One of the manufacturers of our medical devices is based in China, and Petros expects to expand contract manufacturing for certain of its products in Europe, the Middle East, and Northern Africa in the future. Any business that it conducts outside the United States will be subject to additional risks that may materially adversely affect its ability to conduct business in international markets, including:

● the ability to receive any required regulatory authorizations to commercialize products internationally and the ability to comply with international regulatory requirements;

● potentially reduced protection for intellectual property rights in certain other countries;

● unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers and regulatory requirements;

● economic weakness, including inflation or political instability, in particular foreign economies and markets;

● workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States;

● production shortages resulting from any events affecting a product candidate and/or finished drug product supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad;

● business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war and terrorism or natural disasters, including earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, floods and fires; and

● failure to comply with Office of Foreign Asset Control rules and regulations and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

These factors or any combination of these factors may adversely affect our revenue or our overall financial performance.

We expect to require additional capital in the future in order to develop our products, fund operations, and otherwise implement our business strategy. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, it may be difficult to effectively realize our long-term strategic goals and objectives.

We will require additional financing to further develop and market our products, fund operations, and otherwise implement our business strategy. Our current cash resources will not be sufficient to fund these activities. 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.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

12

The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We currently plan to invest all available funds and future earnings, if any, in the development and growth of our business. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, the terms of our existing and any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, a rise in the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable, will be our shareholders’ sole source of potential gain in the foreseeable future and our shareholders should not rely on an investment in our common stock for dividend income.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our common stock.

Almost all of our outstanding shares of common stock, as well as a substantial number of shares of our common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants, are available for sale in the public market, either pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or an effective registration statement. We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed on January 29, 2021, we may sell up to $100,000,000 of our equity securities over the next several years, and approximately $82,540,022 of our equity securities is available for sale under such registration statement. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock would have on the market price of our common stock.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

● results of our operations and product development efforts;

● our ability to obtain working capital financing;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

● limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;

● our ability to execute our business plan;

● sales of our common stock and decline in demand for our common stock;

● regulatory developments;

● economic and other external factors;

● investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and

● period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in the recent past. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at a desired price.

13

We depend on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and the loss of, or a significant shortfall in demand from, these customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We generate a significant amount of sales from a limited number of customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, four customers accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated gross sales, and five main customers collectively accounted for approximately 98% of Stendra® gross sales. We expect that sales to relatively few customers will continue to account for a significant percentage of our net revenues in future periods. However, these customers or any of our other customers may not continue to purchase our products at current levels, pricing, or at all, and our revenue could fluctuate significantly due to changes in economic conditions, the success of our competitors’ products, or the loss of, reduction of business with, or less favorable terms with any of our largest customers. We have not entered into purchase agreements with any of these customers, and therefore, these customers are not subject to minimum purchase orders or have any contractual obligations to purchase our products. If we were to lose one of our key customers or have a key customer significantly reduce its volume of business with us, our revenues may be materially reduced, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and cash flows and projections.

Risks Related to Petros Personnel

Because Petros is a small pharmaceutical company with limited resources, it may be unable to attract qualified personnel.

Because of the specialized nature of its business, Petros’ ability to develop products and to compete with its current and future competitors largely depends upon its ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified managerial, marketing, consulting and scientific personnel. Petros faces intense competition for qualified employees and consultants from biopharmaceutical companies, research organizations and academic institutions. Attracting, retaining or replacing these personnel on acceptable terms may be difficult and time-consuming given the high demand in its industry for similar personnel. There is intense competition for qualified personnel in this business sector, and we cannot assure you that Petros will be able to attract the qualified personnel necessary for the development of its business.

Petros will need to expand its operations and increase its size, and it may experience difficulties in managing growth.

As Petros increases the number of products it owns or has the right to sell, it may need to increase personnel headcounts with respect to sales, marketing, product development, scientific, or administrative departments. In addition, to meet its obligations as a public company, it will need to increase its general and administrative capabilities. The management, personnel and systems currently in place may not be adequate to support this future growth. The need to effectively manage its operations, growth and various projects requires that it:

● successfully attract and recruit new employees with the required expertise and experience;

● successfully grow marketing, distribution and sales infrastructure; and

● continue to improve operational, manufacturing, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures.

If Petros is unable to manage this growth and increased complexity of operations, its business may be adversely affected.

Petros may be adversely affected by any misconduct or improper activities on the part of its individual employees, principal investigators or consultants.

Petros is exposed to the risk that any of its employees, principal investigators and consultants may engage in fraudulent conduct or other illegal activity. Although Petros has adopted a code of conduct applicable to all of its employees, it is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by employees and other third parties, and the precautions it takes to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting it from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or other unauthorized activities that violate the regulations of the FDA and other regulatory authorities, including those laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such authorities; healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the United States and abroad; or laws that require the reporting of financial information or data accurately. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. These laws also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials or creating fraudulent data in Petros’ nonclinical studies or clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to Petros’ reputation.

14

Additionally, Petros is subject to the risk that a person could allege such fraud or other misconduct, even if none occurred. If any such actions are instituted against Petros, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on its business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of Petros’ operations, any of which could adversely affect its ability to operate its business and results of operations.

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, 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. 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.

Risks Related to Government Regulation and Legal Proceedings for Petros

Petros’ approved drug products are subject to ongoing obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense. Additionally, drug products could be subject to labeling and other restrictions and market withdrawal, and Petros may be subject to penalties if it fails to comply with regulatory requirements or experiences unanticipated product problems.

Drug products approved by the applicable regulatory authorities for commercialization are subject to extensive and ongoing requirements of and review by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, including requirements related to the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, recordkeeping, export, import, advertising, marketing, and promotional activities for such product. These requirements further include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information, including manufacturing deviations and reports, registration and listing requirements, the payment of annual fees, continued compliance with cGMPs relating to manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, requirements regarding the distribution of samples to physicians and GCPs for any clinical trials conducted following approval.

Product sponsors and their collaborators, including contract manufacturer, could be subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA to monitor and ensure compliance with cGMPs and other FDA regulatory requirements. Later discovery of previously unknown adverse events or that the product is less effective than previously thought or other problems with products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements both before and after approval, may yield various results, including:

● restrictions on manufacturing or distribution, or marketing of such products;

● restrictions on the labeling, including restrictions on the indication or approved patient population, and required additional warnings, such as black box warnings, contraindications, and precautions;

● modifications to promotional pieces;

● issuance of corrective information;

● requirements to conduct post-marketing studies or other clinical trials;

● clinical holds or termination of clinical trials;

● requirements to establish or modify a REMS or a similar strategy;

● changes to the way the product is administered;

● liability for harm caused to patients or subjects;

● reputational harm;

15

● the product becoming less competitive;

● warning, untitled, or cyber letters;

● suspension of marketing or withdrawal of the products from the market;

● regulatory authority issuance of safety alerts, Dear Healthcare Provider letters, press releases, or other communications containing warnings or other safety information about the product;

● refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications;

● recalls of products;

● fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenues;

● suspension or withdrawal of marketing approvals;

● refusal to permit the import or export of products;

● product seizure or detention;

● FDA debarment, suspension and debarment from government contracts, and refusal of orders under existing government contracts, exclusion from federal healthcare programs, consent decrees, or corporate integrity agreements; or

● injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties, including imprisonment.

Any of these events could prevent Petros from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of its products or could substantially increase the costs and expenses of developing and commercializing products. Any of these events could further have other material and adverse effects on Petros’ operations and business.

The FDA’s policies may change and additional government regulations may be enacted that could prevent, limit or delay regulatory approval of product candidates, that could limit the marketability of products, or that could impose additional regulatory obligations on Petros.

Petros’ medical devices are subject to stringent regulatory oversight and any adverse regulatory action may adversely affect our financial condition and business operations.

Medical device products, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by numerous government agencies, including the FDA and comparable foreign agencies. To varying degrees, each of these agencies monitors and enforces our compliance with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing and distribution of medical devices.

Although Petros’ devices are exempt from 510(k) clearance requirements, they were originally approved under a 510(k) clearance. However, since 2004, the FDA no longer requires a 510(k) submission for Class II external rigidity devices. The process of obtaining marketing approval, authorization, or clearance from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies for new products, or for enhancements or modifications to existing products, could take a significant amount of time, require the expenditure of substantial financial and other resources, and require rigorous and expensive pre-clinical and clinical testing. Additionally, the FDA could impose limitations on the indications for use of our products. Should Petros pursue FDA clearance, authorization, or approval for a new device or device modification, it cannot be certain that it will receive required clearance, authorization, or approval from the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies for new products or modifications to existing products on a timely basis or at all. The failure to receive clearance, authorization, or approval for significant new products or modifications to existing products on a timely basis or at all could have a material, adverse effect on Petros’ financial condition and results of operations.

Both before and after a medical device product is commercially released, Petros has ongoing responsibilities under FDA and foreign regulations. For example, Petros is required to comply with QSR, which sets forth the good manufacturing requirements for medical devices. These include requirements related to design controls, production and process controls, process validation, purchasing controls, supplier oversight, complaint handling and investigation, corrective and preventative actions, and record-keeping. In addition, the FDA’s medical device reporting regulation requires companies to provide information to the FDA whenever they become aware of evidence that reasonably suggests that a device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, that a malfunction occurred which would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury upon recurrence.

Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is monitored rigorously through periodic inspections by the FDA, which may result in observations on Form 483, and in some cases warning letters, that require corrective action. If the FDA or equivalent foreign agency were to conclude that Petros is not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations, or that any of its medical devices may be hazardous or defective, the FDA or equivalent foreign agency could take enforcement action, which may include issuance of a warning letter, untitled letter, or other enforcement letter; seizure of the device; requesting or requiring a recall or other field action; or requiring the repair, replacement, or refund the cost of the medical device. The FDA may also impose

16

manufacturing and other operating restrictions; enjoin and restrain certain violations of applicable law pertaining to medical devices; or assess civil or criminal penalties against Petros or its officers or employees. In addition, the FDA could recommend prosecution to the Department of Justice. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict Petros from effectively manufacturing, marketing, and selling products and could have a material, adverse effect on Petros’ financial condition and results of operations. In addition, negative publicity and product liability claims resulting from any adverse regulatory action could have a material, adverse effect on Petros’ financial condition and results of operations.

The FDA also regulates the promotion and marketing of medical devices and requires that manufacturers only make promotional claims or statements that are consistent with the indications and labeling cleared, authorized, or approved by the FDA. For 510(k)-exempt devices, such as the Petros’ VED devices, the FDA requires that Petros promote such products consistent with the relevant device classification. Claims outside the scope of the 510(k)-exempt classification would be considered “off-label” and trigger the requirement for a new 510(k) or other premarket submission to the FDA. The FDA may take enforcement action against Petros (as described above), should the FDA determine it has engaged in “off-label” promotion or other violative marketing activities.

Petros currently plans to submit a 505(b)(2) NDA to the FDA for H100™ for treatment of Peyronie’s disease, which will allow Petros to rely, in part, on published scientific literature and/or the FDA’s prior findings regarding the safety and efficacy of approved drug products. If Petros is not able to pursue this strategy, it will need to conduct additional development activities beyond what is currently planned, development costs will increase, and Petros may be delayed in receiving regulatory authority approval. The submission of 505(b)(2) NDAs may also subject Petros to the risk of patent infringement lawsuits or regulatory actions that would delay or prevent submission of a marketing application to the FDA, or the FDA’s marketing application review and approval.

The Hatch-Waxman Act added Section 505(b)(2) to the FDCA, permitting the filing of a NDA, where at least some of the information required for approval comes from investigations that were not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference or use from the person by or for whom the investigations were conducted. The FDA interprets Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA, for purposes of approving an NDA, to permit the applicant to rely, in part, upon published literature and/or the FDA’s previous findings of safety and efficacy for an approved product. The FDA also requires companies to perform additional clinical trials or measurements to support any deviation from the previously approved product and to support the reliance on the applicable published literature or referenced product, referred to as bridging. The FDA may then approve the new product candidate for all or some of the label indications for which the referenced product has been approved, as well as for any new indication sought by the Section 505(b)(2) applicant, if such approval is supported by study data. The label, however, may require all or some of the limitations, contraindications, warnings or precautions included in the reference product’s label, including a black box warning, or may require additional limitations, contraindications, warnings or precautions.

Petros currently plans to submit a 505(b)(2) NDA to the FDA for H100™ for treatment of Peyronie’s disease. If the FDA disagrees with the appropriateness of reliance on a reference listed drug or published literature or if Petros is not otherwise able to bridge to the reference listed drug or published literature, the Company may need to conduct additional clinical trials or other studies, which could lead to unanticipated costs and delays or to the termination of the development program. If Petros is unable to obtain approval through the 505(b)(2) NDA process, it may be required to pursue the more expensive and time consuming 505(b)(1) approval process, which consists of full reports of investigations of safety and effectiveness conducted by or for the applicant.

There may also be circumstances under which the FDA would not allow Petros to pursue a 505(b)(2) application. For instance, should the FDA approve a pharmaceutically equivalent product to H100™, it is the FDA’s policy that the appropriate submission would be an ANDA for a generic version of the approved product. Petros may, however, not be able to immediately submit an ANDA or have an ANDA approval made effective, as the application could be blocked by others’ periods of patent and regulatory exclusivity protection.

Notwithstanding the approval of a number of products by the FDA under Section 505(b)(2), pharmaceutical companies and others have objected to the FDA’s interpretation of Section 505(b)(2). If the FDA’s interpretation of Section 505(b)(2) is successfully challenged, the FDA may change its policies and practices with respect to Section 505(b)(2) regulatory approvals. It is also not uncommon for a sponsor of an approved product to file a citizen petition with the FDA seeking to delay approval of, or impose additional approval requirements for, pending competing products. If successful, such petitions can significantly delay, or even prevent, the approval of the new product. However, even if the FDA ultimately denies such a petition, the FDA may substantially delay approval while it considers and responds to the petition. Any inability to pursue a 505(b)(2) application could result in new competitive products reaching the market more quickly than Petros’, which could hurt the Company’s competitive position and business prospects.

The 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway may also subject Petros to the risk of patent infringement lawsuits or other regulatory actions that could prevent submission of a marketing application or prevent the FDA from making the approval of a marketing application effective.

17

Applicants submitting NDAs under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA must provide a patent certification for the patents listed in FDA’s list of Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the Orange Book, for all reference listed drugs and for all brand name products identified in published literature upon which the 505(b)(2) application relies. The possible certifications are that (1) no patent information has been submitted to the FDA; (2) such patent has expired; (3) the date on which such patent expires; or (4) such patent is invalid or will not be infringed upon by the manufacture, use or sale of the drug product for which the application is submitted. If there are any applicable listed patents, the FDA may not approve the 505(b)(2) application until all listed patents have expired, unless the applicant challenges the listed patents through the last type of certification, also known as a paragraph IV certification, or otherwise indicates that it is not seeking approval of a patented method of use.

If Petros does challenge a listed patent through a paragraph IV certification, under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the holder of the patents or NDAs that the 505(b)(2) application references may file a patent infringement lawsuit. Filing of a patent infringement lawsuit triggers a one time, automatic, 30-month stay of the FDA’s ability to make the 505(b)(2) NDA approval effective. In such a case, the FDA may not make the 505(b)(2) NDA approval effective until the earlier of 30 months from the receipt of the notice of the paragraph IV certification, the expiration of the patent, when the infringement case concerning each such patent is favorably decided in the applicant’s favor or settled, or such shorter or longer period as may be ordered by a court. Accordingly, Petros may invest a significant amount of time and expense in the development of one or more product candidates only to be subject to significant delay and patent litigation before such product candidates may be commercialized, if at all. In addition, a 505(b)(2) application approval may, in some cases, not be submitted, or may, in other cases, not be made effective until any existing non-patent regulatory exclusivities have expired or, if possible, are carved out from the label.

If Petros is unable to advance its product candidates, including H100™, in clinical development, obtain regulatory approval and ultimately commercialize its product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, its business may be materially harmed.

Petros is not permitted to market or promote any of its product candidates before it receives regulatory approval from the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, and it may never receive such regulatory approval. Petros may only receive approval in a limited patient population, it may experience delays in receiving such regulatory approval, or it may not receive regulatory approval for new indications or for H100™. Even if Petros successfully commercializes H100™, it may not be successful in developing and commercializing any other product candidates, and its commercial opportunities may be limited.

Petros cannot be certain that any of its product candidates will be successful in clinical and preclinical trials or receive regulatory approval. Further, its product candidates may not receive regulatory approval even if they are successful in clinical trials and Petros submits the required marketing applications seeking regulatory authorization for their use.

For each product candidate, Petros must demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans, obtain regulatory approval in one or more jurisdictions, obtain manufacturing supply capacity and expertise, and substantially invest in marketing efforts before it is able to generate any revenue from such product candidate. The success of Petros’ product candidates, and H100™ in particular, will depend on several factors, including the following:

● approval of H100™ or other products by the FDA;

● successful enrollment in, and completion of, clinical trials, the design and implementation of which are agreed to by the applicable regulatory authorities, and the conduct of clinical trials by contract research organizations (“CROs”) to successfully conduct such trials within Petros’ planned budget and timing parameters and without materially adversely impacting its trials;

● successful data from its clinical and preclinical programs that support an acceptable risk-benefit profile of its product candidates in the intended populations to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authorities;

● timely receipt, if at all, of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

● establishment of arrangements with third-party manufacturers, as applicable, for continued clinical supply and commercial manufacturing;

● successful development of Petros’ manufacturing processes and transfer to new third-party facilities to support future development activities and commercialization that are operated by contract manufacturing organizations in a manner compliant with all regulatory requirements;

● establishment and maintenance of patent and trade secret protection or regulatory exclusivity for Petros’ product candidates;

● successful commercial launch of Petros’ other product candidates, if and when approved;

● acceptance of Petros’ products, if and when approved, by patients, the relevant medical communities and third-party payers;

● effective competition with other therapies;

● establishment and maintenance of adequate healthcare coverage and reimbursement;

● Petros’ ability to avoid infringing upon the patent and other intellectual property rights of third parties;

18

● enforcement and defense of intellectual property rights and claims;

● continued compliance with any post-marketing requirements imposed by regulatory authorities, including any required post-marketing clinical trials or the elements of any post-marketing REMs that may be required by the FDA or comparable requirements in other jurisdictions to ensure the benefits of the product outweigh its risks; and

● maintenance of a continued acceptable safety profile of the product candidates following approval.

If Petros is unsuccessful with respect to these factors, it could experience significant delays or barriers to the successful commercialization of its product candidates, which may materially harm Petros’ business. Even if Petros successfully obtains regulatory approvals to manufacture and market its product candidates, its revenues will be dependent, in part, upon the size of the markets in the territories for which it gains regulatory approval and have commercial rights. If the markets for patient subsets that Petros is targeting are not as significant as it estimates, it may not generate significant revenues from sales of its approved products.

Petros plans to seek regulatory approval to commercialize its product candidates in the United States and in foreign countries. While the scope of regulatory approval is similar in many countries, in order to obtain separate regulatory approval in multiple countries Petros must comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of each such country or jurisdiction regarding safety and efficacy and governing, among other things, clinical trials and commercial sales, pricing and distribution. Petros cannot predict success in any such jurisdictions, and the time required to obtain approval in foreign countries may differ substantially from that required to obtain FDA approval.

Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process, with an uncertain outcome. Petros may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of Petros’ product candidates.

The risk of failure in drug and product development is high. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of H100™ or other unapproved product candidates, Petros must complete nonclinical development and conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Petros’ product candidates in humans. Clinical trials are expensive, difficult to design and implement and can take many years to complete, and their outcomes are inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process. Nonclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that have believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in nonclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain marketing approval of their products. It is impossible to predict when or if Petros’ unapproved product candidates will prove to be effective or safe in humans or will receive marketing approval.

Petros may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent our ability to receive marketing approval or commercialize our product candidates. Clinical trials may be delayed, suspended or prematurely terminated because costs are greater than we anticipate or for a variety of other reasons, such as:

● delay or failure in reaching agreement with the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority on a trial design that Petros is able to execute;

● delay or failure in obtaining authorization to commence a trial, including approval from the appropriate IRB, to conduct testing of a candidate on human subjects, or inability to comply with conditions imposed by a regulatory authority regarding the scope or design of a clinical trial;

● delays or failure in reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective trial sites and prospective CROs, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary significantly among different CROs and trial sites;

● inability, delay or failure in identifying and maintaining a sufficient number of trial sites, many of which may already be engaged in other clinical programs;

● delay or failure in recruiting and enrolling suitable subjects to participate in a trial;

● delay or failure in having subjects complete a trial or return for post-treatment follow-up;

● clinical sites and investigators deviating from the clinical protocol, failing to conduct the trial in accordance with regulatory requirements, or dropping out of a trial;

● lack of adequate funding to continue a clinical trial, including unforeseen costs due to enrollment delays, requirements to conduct additional clinical trials and increased expenses associated with the services of Petros’ CROs and other third parties;

● clinical trials of Petros’ product candidates may produce negative or inconclusive results, and it may decide, or regulators may require Petros, to conduct additional nonclinical studies, clinical trials or abandon product development programs;

● Petros’ third-party contractors may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to Petros in a timely manner, or at all;

19

● the supply or quality of Petros’ product candidates or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of its product candidates may be insufficient;

● the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require Petros to submit additional data or impose other requirements before permitting it to initiate a clinical trial; or

● changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions.

Many of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval for Petros’ product candidates. Further, the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with Petros’ clinical trial design and its interpretation of data from clinical trials or may change the requirements for approval even after it has reviewed and commented on the design for Petros’ clinical trials.

Petros cannot be certain as to what type and how many clinical trials the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities will require Petros to conduct before it may successfully gain approval to market H100™. Prior to approving a new product, the FDA generally requires that the efficacy of the product be demonstrated in two adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.

Petros’ product development costs will also increase if it experiences delays in nonclinical and clinical development or receiving the requisite marketing approvals. Petros does not know whether any of its nonclinical studies or clinical trials will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all, which may harm our business and results of operations.

If Petros experiences delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, development of its product candidates may be delayed or prevented, which would have a material adverse effect on its business.

Petros may not be able to initiate clinical trials for H100™ or its other product candidates if it is unable to locate and enroll a sufficient number of eligible patients to participate in these trials as required by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials.

Patient enrollment may be affected if Petros’ competitors have ongoing clinical trials for product candidates that are under development for the same indications as Petros’ product candidates, and patients who would otherwise be eligible for its clinical trials instead enroll in clinical trials of its competitors’ product candidates. Patient enrollment may also be affected by other factors, including:

● size and nature of the patient population;

● severity of the condition under investigation;

● patient eligibility criteria for the trial in question;

● nature of the trial protocol;

● Petros’ ability to recruit clinical trial investigators with the appropriate competencies and experience;

● perceived risks and benefits of the product candidate under study;

● the occurrence of adverse events attributable to Petros’ product candidates;

● efforts to facilitate timely enrollment in clinical trials;

● the number and nature of competing products or product candidates and ongoing clinical trials of competing product candidates for the same indication;

● patient referral practices of physicians;

● the ability to monitor patients adequately during and after treatment;

● proximity and availability of clinical trial sites for prospective patients; and

● continued enrollment of prospective patients by clinical trial sites.

If Petros experiences delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, its clinical trials may be delayed or terminated. Any delays in completing Petros’ clinical trials will increase its costs, delay or prevent its product candidate development and approval process and jeopardize Petros’ ability to commence product sales and generate additional revenue. Any of these occurrences may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly.

20

Petros relies on third parties to conduct, supervise, and monitor preclinical studies and clinical trials, and those third parties may not perform satisfactorily, including failing to meet deadlines for the completion of such trials or failing to comply with regulatory requirements.

Petros may use third parties, CROs, study sites, and others to conduct, supervise, and monitor preclinical and clinical trials for product candidates. While Petros has agreements governing the activities of such third parties, it has limited influence and control over their actual performance and activities. Third-party service providers are not Petros’ employees, and except for remedies available under agreements with such third parties, Petros cannot control whether or not they devote sufficient time and resources to its development programs. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct studies in accordance with regulatory requirements or the study plans, if they need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised, studies may need to be repeated, extended, delayed, or terminated, Petros may not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for product candidates, Petros may not be able to or may be delayed in commercializing product candidates, or Petros or the third party service providers may be subject to regulatory enforcement actions. As a result, results of operations and the commercial prospects for product candidates would be harmed, costs could increase and Petros’ ability to generate revenues could be delayed. Third-party service providers may also have relationships with other entities, including Petros competitors, for whom they may also be conducting development activities that could harm Petros’ competitive position.

Reliance on third parties for development activities will reduce Petros’ control over these activities. Nevertheless, Petros is responsible for ensuring that its studies are conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal, regulatory, and scientific standards. Regulatory authorities enforce their requirements through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, clinical and preclinical investigators, and trial sites. Any failure to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements, may subject Petros or its third party service providers to enforcement or other legal actions, the data generated in trials may be deemed unreliable and the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may require the performance of additional studies.

Agreements with third parties conducting or otherwise assisting with studies might terminate for a variety of reasons, including a failure to perform by the third parties. If any of these relationships terminate, Petros may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative providers or to do so on commercially reasonable terms. Switching or adding additional third parties involves additional cost and requires management time and focus. In addition, there is a natural transition period when a new third party commences work. As a result, alternative arrangements could delay product development activities and adversely affect Petros’ business.

Petros’ relationships with prescribers, purchasers, third-party payers and patients are subject to applicable anti-kickback, fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations, any violation of which could expose it to criminal sanctions, civil penalties, contractual damages, reputational harm and diminished profits and future earnings.

Petros is subject to healthcare statutory and regulatory requirements and oversight by federal and state governments, as well as foreign governments in the jurisdictions in which it conducts its business. Physicians, other healthcare providers and third-party payers will play a primary role in the recommendation, prescription and use of any product candidates for which Petros has, or in the future obtains, marketing approval. Petros’ arrangements with such third parties are subject to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other healthcare laws and regulations that may constrain its business or financial arrangements and relationships through which it markets, sell and distributes any products for which it may obtain marketing approval, including potential exclusion from federal healthcare programs and debarment from federal government contracts. Restrictions under applicable domestic and foreign healthcare laws and regulations include the following:

● the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, to induce or reward, or in return for, either the referral of an individual for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, any good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program such as Medicare and Medicaid; a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

● U.S. federal false claims, false statements and civil monetary penalties laws, including the U.S. False Claims Act, which impose criminal and civil penalties against individuals or entities for knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, to the federal government, claims for payment that are false or fraudulent, including false statements regarding compliance with regulations material to payment by government programs for drugs and medical supplies, or making a false statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government; actions may be brought by the government or a whistleblower and may include an assertion that a claim for payment by federal healthcare programs for items and services which results from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statue constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act;

21

● the U.S. federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”) that imposes liability for executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, or knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; similar to the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation;

● analogous state and foreign laws and regulations relating to healthcare fraud and abuse, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws, that may apply to sales or marketing arrangements and claims involving healthcare items or services reimbursed by non-governmental third-party payers, including private insurers;

● the U.S. federal physician payment transparency requirements under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2010, which requires manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies that are reimbursable under Medicare or Medicaid, to report to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services information related to certain payments and other transfers of value, such as payments and transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals (and, beginning in 2021, for transfers of value to other healthcare providers), as well as the ownership and investment interests of physicians and their immediate family members;

● analogous state and foreign laws that require companies to track, report and disclose to the government and/or the public information related to payments, gifts, and other transfers of value or remuneration to physicians and other healthcare providers, marketing activities or expenditures, or product pricing or transparency information, or that require companies to implement compliance programs that meet certain standards or to restrict or limit interactions between manufacturers and members of the healthcare industry;

● the U.S. federal laws that require manufacturers to report certain calculated product prices to the government or provide certain discounts or rebates to government authorities or private entities, often as a condition of reimbursement under federal healthcare programs;

● HIPAA, which imposes obligations on certain covered entity healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses as well as their business associates that perform certain services involving the use or disclosure of individually identifiable health information, including mandatory contractual terms, with respect to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information; and

● state and foreign laws that govern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, including state security breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.

Efforts to ensure that Petros’ business arrangements with third parties will comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations will involve substantial costs. If governmental authorities conclude that Petros’ business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law involving applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations, then government enforcement actions are possible.

Petros’ marketing and advertising are regulated by the FDA, Federal Trade Commission and State and County Attorneys General, and it may face enforcement and litigation specifically related to the nature and sales channels of its products.

Petros may face product liability litigation and/or other litigation from certain regulatory agencies such as the FDA, Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), Attorney General, Better Business Bureau, among others owing to the manner that it markets and sells certain of its products such as through nationwide newspaper advertisements, direct mailing or other direct to consumer campaigns.

With respect to FTC matters, if the FTC has reason to believe the law is being violated (e.g. failure to possess adequate substantiation for product claims), it can initiate an enforcement action through a variety of judicial and administrative processes and remedies. Any action against us by the FTC could materially and adversely affect Petros’ ability to successfully market its products.

In addition, Petros’ marketing and advertising is regulated by regulations, administrative actions and legal proceeding of various state and county attorneys general across the United States. Any regulation, administrative actions or legal proceeding against Petros by any of these entities could materially and adversely affect its ability to successfully market its products.

Petros may be subject to potential product liability and other claims, creating risks and expense.

Petros is also exposed to potential product liability risks inherent in the development, testing, manufacturing, marketing and sale of human therapeutic products. Product liability insurance for the pharmaceutical industry is extremely expensive, difficult to obtain and may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Petros cannot guarantee that the coverage limits of such insurance policies will be

22

adequate. A successful claim against Petros in excess of its insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon it and on its financial condition.

In addition to direct expenditures for damages, settlement and defense costs, there is a possibility of adverse publicity and loss of revenues as a result of product liability claims. Product liability claims can also result in regulatory consequences, such as the withdrawal of clinical trial participants, termination of clinical trials or programs, governmental authority investigations and enforcement actions, product recalls and withdrawals of approval, as well as labeling revisions. Product liability is a significant commercial risk for Petros. Plaintiffs have received substantial damage awards in some jurisdictions against pharmaceutical companies based upon claims for injuries allegedly caused by the use of their products. In addition, in the age of social media, plaintiffs’ counsel now has a wide variety of tools to advertise their services and solicit new clients for litigation. Thus, any significant product liability litigation or mass tort in which Petros is a defendant may have a larger number of plaintiffs than such actions have seen historically because of the increasing use of widespread and media-varied advertising.

Government regulations that mandate price controls and limitations on patient access to its products or establish prices paid by government entities or programs for such products may impact Petros’ business, and future results could be adversely affected by changes in such regulations or policies.

Pharmaceutical product pricing is subject to enhanced government and public scrutiny and calls for reform. Some states have implemented, and other states are considering implementing, pharmaceutical price controls or patient access constraints under the Medicaid program, and some states are considering price-control regimes that would apply to broader segments of their populations that are not Medicaid-eligible. There have also been recent state legislative efforts to address drug costs, which generally have focused on increasing transparency around drug costs or limiting drug prices. If implemented, efforts by government officials or legislators to implement measures to regulate prices or payments for pharmaceutical products, including legislation on drug importation, could adversely affect Petros’ business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in laws could negatively impact Petros’ business.

Petros’ future results could be adversely affected by changes in interpretations of existing laws and regulations, or changes in laws and regulations, including, among others, changes in taxation requirements, competition laws, privacy laws and environmental laws in the United States and other countries.

Risks Related to Petros’ Intellectual Property

If Petros fails to protect its intellectual property rights, its ability to pursue the development of its products would be negatively affected.

Petros’ long-term success largely depends on its ability to market technologically competitive products. Petros relies and expects to continue to rely on a combination of intellectual property, including patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright, trade secret and domain name protection laws, as well as confidentiality and license agreements, to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights. If Petros fails to obtain and maintain adequate intellectual property protection, it may not be able to prevent third parties from launching generic or biosimilar versions of its branded products using its proprietary technologies or from marketing products that are very similar or identical to those of Petros. In addition, the patents Petros has licensed may not contain claims sufficiently broad to protect it against third parties with similar technologies or products or provide Petros with any competitive advantage, including exclusivity in a particular product area. Petros may be subject to challenges by third parties regarding its intellectual property, including, among others, claims regarding validity, enforceability, scope and effective term.

Petros’ ability to enforce its patents also depends on the laws of individual countries and each country’s practice with respect to enforcement of intellectual property rights, and the extent to which certain sovereigns may seek to engage in policies or practices that may weaken its intellectual property framework (e.g., a policy of routine compulsory licensing (or threat of compulsory licensing) of pharmaceutical intellectual property). Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the United States. As such, Petros may have difficulty protecting its proprietary rights in these foreign countries.

In addition to patents, Petros relies on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions and security measures to protect its confidential and proprietary information. These measures do not guarantee protection of its trade secrets or other proprietary information. There is risk that third parties could use Petros’ technology and it could lose any competitive advantage

23

it may have. In addition, others may independently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to Petros’ trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage it may have.

Petros may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce its patents, which could be expensive and time consuming.

The pharmaceutical industry has been characterized by extensive litigation regarding patents and other intellectual property rights, and companies have employed intellectual property litigation to gain a competitive advantage. Petros may become subject to infringement claims or litigation arising out of patents and pending applications of its competitors or additional interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trade Office to determine the priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution of intellectual property suits, United States Patent and Trade Office proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings are costly and time-consuming to pursue, and their outcome is uncertain. Litigation may be necessary to enforce Petros’ licensed patents, to protect its trade secrets and know-how, or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. An adverse determination in litigation or interference proceedings to which Petros may become a party could subject it to significant liabilities, require it to obtain licenses from third parties or restrict or prevent it from selling its products in certain markets. Although patent and intellectual property disputes might be settled through licensing or similar arrangements, the costs associated with such arrangements may be substantial and could include paying large fixed payments and ongoing royalties. Furthermore, the necessary licenses may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all.

Competitors may infringe Petros’ licensed patents and Petros may file infringement claims to counter infringement or unauthorized use. This can be expensive, particularly for a company of Petros’ size, and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent Petros has licensed is not valid or is unenforceable or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that Petros’ patents do not cover the other party’s technology. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of Petros’ patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation or interference proceedings, there is a risk that some of Petros’ confidential information could be compromised by disclosure. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments.

If Petros infringes the rights of third parties, it could be prevented from selling products and forced to pay damages and defend against litigation.

If Petros’ products, methods, processes and other technologies infringe the proprietary rights of other parties, it could incur substantial costs and may have to: obtain licenses, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all; abandon an infringing product candidate; redesign its products or processes to avoid infringement; stop using the subject matter claimed in the patents held by others; pay damages; and/or defend litigation or administrative proceedings which may be costly whether Petros wins or loses, and which could result in a substantial diversion of its financial and management resources.

Petros may be subject to claims that its employees, consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of third parties.

Petros may employ individuals who were previously employed at other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. It may be subject to claims that it or its employees, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed confidential information of our employees’ former employers or other third parties. Petros may also be subject to claims that former employers or other third parties have an ownership interest in its patents. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. There is no guarantee of success in defending these claims, and if Petros does not prevail, it could be required to pay substantial damages and could lose rights to important intellectual property. Even if Petros is successful, litigation could result in substantial cost and be a distraction to its management and other employees.

Changes in trends in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, including changes to market conditions, could adversely affect Petros’ operating results.

The pharmaceutical and medical device industries generally, and drug discovery and development companies more specifically, are subject to increasingly rapid technological changes. Petros’ competitors might develop technologies or products that are more effective or commercially attractive than Petros’ current or future technologies, or that render its technologies or products less competitive or obsolete. If competitors introduce superior technologies or products and Petros cannot make enhancements to its technologies or

24

products to remain competitive, its competitive position and, in turn, its business, revenue and financial condition, may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Petros’ Strategic Transactions

Acquisitions involve risks that could result in a reduction of our operating results, cash flows and liquidity.

Petros has made, and in the future may continue to make, strategic acquisitions including licenses of third-party products. However, it may not be able to identify suitable acquisition and licensing opportunities. It may pay for acquisitions and licenses with equity or with convertible securities. In addition, acquisitions or licenses may expose Petros to operational challenges and risks, including:

● the ability to profitably manage acquired businesses or successfully integrate the acquired business’ operations and financial reporting and accounting control systems into our business;

● increased indebtedness and contingent purchase price obligations associated with an acquisition;

● the ability to fund cash flow shortages that may occur if anticipated revenue is not realized or is delayed, whether by general economic or market conditions or unforeseen internal difficulties;

● the availability of funding sufficient to meet increased capital needs;

● diversion of management’s attention; and

● the ability to retain or hire qualified personnel required for expanded operations.

In addition, acquired companies may have liabilities or risks that we fail, or are unable, to discover in the course of performing due diligence investigations. Petros cannot guarantee that the indemnification granted to it by sellers of acquired companies will be sufficient in amount, scope or duration to fully offset the possible liabilities associated with businesses or properties that are assumed upon consummation of an acquisition. Petros may learn additional information about acquired businesses that materially adversely affect it, such as unknown or contingent liabilities and liabilities related to compliance with applicable laws. Any such liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Failure to successfully manage the operational challenges and risks associated with, or resulting from, acquisitions could adversely affect Petros’ results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. Borrowings or issuance of convertible securities associated with any acquisitions may also result in higher levels of indebtedness, which could impact its ability to service its debt within the scheduled repayment terms.

Other Risks Related to Petros’ Business and Operations

Petros has concluded that there are material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remediated, could materially adversely affect its ability to timely and accurately report its results of operations and financial condition. The accuracy of Petros’ financial reporting depends on the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting.

Internal controls over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, or lapses in disclosure controls and procedures, could undermine the ability to provide accurate disclosure (including with respect to financial information) on a timely basis, which could cause investors to lose confidence in Petros’ disclosures (including with respect to financial information), require significant resources to remediate the lapse or deficiency, and expose it to legal or regulatory proceedings.

In connection with the audit of its December 31, 2020 financial statements and its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of September 30, 2021, Petros’ management identified the following deficiencies, which it considers to be “material weaknesses,” which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably result in a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements:

● Petros currently 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. This restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements in a timely manner, including timely and adequate review of schedules and analysis used in the financial close process and the documentation and review of the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles to significant non-routine transactions. The company should evaluate their significant processes to ensure the key controls are being carried out as designed;

● The size of Petros’ accounting and IT department makes it impracticable to achieve an appropriate segregation of duties;

25

● Petros does not have appropriate IT access related controls specifically:

o Elevated privileges such as administrator access to financial systems are not always assigned to individuals who do not bear responsibility for performing financial reporting or posting financial transaction (for example IT personnel).

o There are no limited number of password attempts before account lockout.

o There is no maximum length of days a password can be in use.

The Company should implement mitigating controls that would prevent or detect (in a timely manner) unauthorized transactions that might result.

Petros’ remediation efforts are ongoing and it will continue its initiatives to implement and document policies, procedures, and internal controls. Remediation of the identified material weaknesses and strengthening the internal control environment will require a substantial effort beyond 2021, as necessary, and Petros will test the ongoing operating effectiveness of the new and existing controls in future periods. The material weaknesses cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Petros cannot guarantee that it will be successful in remediating the material weaknesses it identified or that its internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable it to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

Petros cannot guarantee that its management will be successful in identifying and retaining appropriate personnel; that newly engaged staff or outside consultants will be successful in identifying material weaknesses in the future; or that appropriate personnel will be identified and retained prior to these deficiencies resulting in material and adverse effects on Petros’ business.

Petros’ consolidated balance sheet contains significant amounts of intangible assets.

Petros’ other intangible assets, including developed technology rights and brands, face risks for impairment and charges related to such assets may be significant as well. In the year ended December 31, 2019, Petros incurred a goodwill impairment loss of $2,443,930 and no longer has a goodwill balance.

The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on Petros’ operations, and the operations of its partners, suppliers and logistics providers, could significantly disrupt its operations and may materially and adversely affect its business and financial conditions.

Petros’ business could be adversely impacted by the effects of the coronavirus or other epidemics. In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of any new variants, such as the Delta and the Omicron variants, will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows beyond fiscal 2021.

Additionally, Petros expects that COVID-19 will continue to adversely impact the status and progress of our development programs, including any clinical and preclinical trials for H100™ or any other product candidates. Delays or other difficulties in completing clinical and preclinical trials could result in a longer period of time to obtain product regulatory approval, to commercialize our products, if approved, and realize any resulting revenue in the future.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the government and public health response continues to rapidly evolve. In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the FDA has issued a number of new guidance documents. Additionally, in March 2020, the US Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, which, for certain critical drugs, includes strengthened provisions regarding required FDA drug shortage reporting requirements, as well as provisions regarding supply chain security, such as risk management plan requirements, and the promotion of supply chain redundancy and domestic manufacturing.

Petros is actively assessing and responding where possible to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts its business, including its operations, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain or treat the

26

coronavirus outbreak. The continued spread of the coronavirus globally could materially and adversely impact Petros’ business including without limitation, supply chain and manufacturing matters, employee health, workforce productivity, increased insurance premiums, limitations on travel, the availability of industry advisers and personnel, and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond its control, which may have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

JCP III SM AIV, L.P. maintains the ability to significantly influence all matters submitted to Petros’ stockholders for approval.

As of January 5, 2021, JCP III SM AIV, L.P. and its affiliates, in the aggregate, own approximately 27.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they could be able to significantly influence all matters submitted to Petros’ stockholders for approval, as well as Petros’ management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, could significantly influence the election of directors or the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Petros’ assets. This concentration of voting power could delay or prevent an acquisition of Petros on terms that other stockholders may desire.

Our bylaws include a forum selection clause, which may impact your ability to bring actions against us.

Subject to certain limitations, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or our stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, our bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws of the United States against us, our officers, directors, employees or underwriters. These limitations on the forum in which stockholders may initiate action against us could create costs, inconvenience or otherwise adversely affect your ability to seek legal redress.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, a court may decline to enforce these exclusive forum provisions with respect to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or any other claim for which the federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction, and our stockholders may not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

BUSINESS

Organizational Development

Petros was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020.

On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”) and (ii) holders of record of Neurotrope common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, Neurotrope preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and certain warrants as of November 30, 2020 received a pro rata distribution of common stock of Synaptogenix, resulting in a separate, independent publicly traded company.

Business Model and Primary Marketed Products

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on men’s health therapeutics with a full range of commercial capabilities including sales, marketing, regulatory and medical affairs, finance, trade relations, pharmacovigilance, market access relations, manufacturing, and distribution.

Stendra®

Stendra® is an 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. As a distinct molecule with high in-vitro affinity and selectivity for penile tissue (clinical significance of this in-vitro selectivity profile is unknown), 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).

On September 30, 2016, we acquired from Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”) all of the rights to license, develop, market, sell, and distribute the drug avanafil (the active ingredient in Stendra®) in the United States, Canada, South America, and India, including all assets related to, or necessary for, the exercise of such rights, such as licenses, trademarks, and intellectual property rights. The drug avanafil was initially developed by Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (“MTPC”) and MTPC licensed the rights to avanafil to Vivus in December 2000 (the “MTPC License”). Stendra® (avanafil) was approved by the FDA in April 2012. Petros seeks to make Stendra® the first oral ED prescription therapy available as an over-the-counter option.

VED Products

Petros also markets its own line of ED products in the form of vacuum erection device (“VED”) products through its subsidiaries, Timm Medical, Inc. (“Timm Medical”) and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”). We plan to continue to grow the VED business both domestically and internationally. Petros believes that its potential domestic growth will come through the expansion of its distribution partner network, which currently includes national distributors such as SunMed and Vitalit and internationally through distributors such as Heize (Germany), Mediplus (UK), Euromedical (Spain), as well as a growing number of regional small-business distributors specialized in the urology landscape. Additionally, Petros intends to continue to leverage existing relationships with key clinician decision makers,

30

offering direct purchase agreements for Centers of Excellence in prostate cancer and sexual health rehabilitation. This will allow for increased local purchase availability for consumers. We believe that potential international growth will come through additional work with existing customers to expand our current base of business while also working to unlock new international territories. In addition to expanding the distribution network, Petros is pursuing better use of the historical clinical data available regarding VEDs.

H100™

In addition to its ED products, Petros is committed to identifying and developing other pharmaceuticals to advance men’s health. In March 2020, we acquired an exclusive global license (the “Hybrid License”) to H100™ from Hybrid Medical LLC (“Hybrid”). H100™ is a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s disease is a condition that occurs upon penile tissue disruption often caused by sexual activity or injury, healing into collagen-based scars that may ultimately harden and cause penile deformity. Peyronie’s disease may affect millions of men around the world, and there is no approved non-invasive treatment option. Based on current approved therapies, if approved, as of this date H100™ would become the first and only clinically approved topical non-invasive formulation for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the Hybrid License was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of $200,000, which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, $200,000 on December 1, 2021, and $200,000 on December 23, 2021.

Petros has established its foundation for growth and, with the addition of H100™ to the product portfolio and other pipeline opportunities for additional products, Petros believes that it can build an industry leading men’s health pharmaceutical company. Petros has no other product candidates and no other definitive license agreements at this time. However, Petros is engaged in discussions with viable, late stage therapeutic assets addressing male hormone replacement therapy, male infertility, BPH and prostate cancer, but has not entered into any binding agreements with respect thereto.

Manufacturing and Supply

Petros currently only has facilities to assemble its VED products, and therefore must rely on qualified third-party contract manufactures with appropriate facilities and equipment to contract manufacture commercial quantities of its products. If, for any reason, Petros’ contract manufacturers cannot perform as agreed, it may be required to replace them. Although Petros believes there are a number of potential replacements, it may incur added costs and delays in identifying and qualifying any such replacements.

Petros obtains from third parties the raw materials necessary to develop and manufacture its products, including the active and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients used in its products. To this end, Petros entered into the Supply Agreement with Vivus on September 30, 2016, which has since been terminated effective as of September 30, 2021. The Supply Agreement stated that Vivus would initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. In connection with the Supply Agreement, we and Vivus have been in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but we may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million.

The Company is currently negotiating with alternative vendors to manufacture our Stendra® product and replace Vivus. The Company intends to enter into a new supply agreement with one or more of these candidates in the near future and hopes to have an agreement in place in early 2022. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into any new supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us in a timely manner. As of January 5, 2022, we believe that we have sufficient supplies of Stendra® to meet demand for the next 8 months.

Petros is required to identify the supplier of all the raw materials for all FDA-approved products that it acquires from others. If raw materials for a particular product become unavailable from an approved supplier specified in a drug application, Petros would be required to qualify a substitute supplier with the FDA and, depending on the supplier, provide the FDA with notice or receive FDA approval for the supplier, which would likely delay or interrupt manufacturing of the affected product.

31

Distribution and Marketing

Petros has distribution agreements with the three largest pharmaceutical distributors (McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”), Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”), and AmerisourceBergen Corporation (“AmerisourceBergen”)), as well as a direct purchase program for designated retail dispensing pharmacies within large urology group practices, enabling us to provide Stendra® to customers through most retail pharmacies in the United States. Petros currently depends on McKesson to service these pharmaceutical distribution agreements. McKesson, on an exclusive basis, provides distribution of Stendra® to its own retail pharmacies and handles Petros’ distribution to Cardinal and AmerisourceBergen.

In addition to established nationwide distribution mechanisms, Petros also collaborates with several commercial insurance entities with contracted access to Stendra® and enduring capabilities to expand these commercial insurance relationships for future assets. Although commercial insurance collaboration and contracts remain an important factor in patient access and affordability, Medicare and Medicaid remain largely out of scope for Stendra® and most sexual dysfunction therapies. As with many sexual dysfunction therapeutics, Medicare and Medicaid do not normally contract or reimburse for these therapies unless concomitantly indicated for other ailments beyond sexual dysfunction considered medically necessary. Nevertheless, commercial insurance access remains competitive and widely available for Stendra®.

Petros relies on a variety of channels to market and sell its products, including:

● employee and third-party contracted sales representatives who promote Stendra® directly to high-volume physician prescribers of ED therapies and target physicians at trade associations;

● online digital strategies, including search engine optimization and targeted advertisements, target physicians and consumers;

● targeting of managed care organizations to deliver value-based contracts and improve placement for Stendra® on approved drug lists;

● collaboration with specialty pharmacies that provide personalized service to physicians and patients, including discreet shipping to patients’ homes; and

● direct marketing of our medical devices to urology offices domestically and internationally.

Customers

We generate a significant amount of sales from a limited number of customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, four customers accounted for approximately 78% of our consolidated gross sales, and five main customers collectively accounted for approximately 98% of Stendra® gross sales. For further information refer to Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Competition

According to data provided by IQVIA, the oral ED market (specifically the PDE-5 inhibitor class) has experienced significant growth over the last couple of years especially, with a 26% increase in prescriptions (filled in pharmacies) in 2020 vs. 2019, and with 2021 increasing in oral ED prescriptions by 20% over 2020. As generic options have become available, they have led the growth in prescription volume with an enduring presence of branded prescription volume, indicating durable brand loyalty and value. Stendra® remains the only patent protected brand among the PDE-5 inhibitor class. According to Arizton Advisory and Intelligence Erectile Dysfunction Market Reports, the trajectory of growth in this class is projected to continue to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 8% through 2023. We expect that North America will remain the lead market in this growth due to its established healthcare landscape and the prominence of comorbid conditions associated with ED.

Employees

Our Board of Directors oversees our employee relations programs as it views building our culture – from employee development and retention to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging initiatives – as key to driving long-term value for our business and helping to mitigate risks.

As of December 31, 2021, we had 24 full time employees, all of whom were based inside the United States. None of our employees is represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

32

Government Regulation

Pharmaceutical products, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by numerous government agencies, including the FDA and comparable foreign agencies. To varying degrees, each of these agencies monitors and enforces our compliance with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing and distribution of our pharmaceutical products.

Regulation of Stendra®

Although Stendra® was approved by the FDA in April 2012, drug products approved for commercialization are subject to extensive and ongoing requirements of and review by the FDA and other regulatory authorities, including requirements related to the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, packaging, distribution, adverse event reporting, storage, recordkeeping, export, import, advertising, marketing, and promotional activities for such product. These requirements further include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information, including manufacturing deviations and reports, registration and listing requirements, the payment of annual fees, continued compliance with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMPs”) relating to manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, requirements regarding the distribution of samples to physicians for any clinical trials conducted following approval.

Regulation of VED Devices

The FDA classifies Petros’ VED devices as Class II medical devices, which are typically subject to pre-market review and clearance by the FDA of a pre-market notification (a “510(k) clearance”). While Petros’ VED devices are exempt from 510(k) clearance requirements, they were originally approved under a 510(k) clearance. However, since 2004, the FDA no longer requires a 510(k) submission for Class II external rigidity devices. The process of obtaining marketing approval, authorization, or clearance from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies for new products, or for enhancements or modifications to existing products, could take a significant amount of time, require the expenditure of substantial financial and other resources, and require rigorous and expensive pre-clinical and clinical testing.

Petros also has ongoing responsibilities related to its VED devices under regulations promulgated by the FDA and comparable foreign authorities. For example, Petros is required to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) regulations, which set forth the good manufacturing requirements for medical devices. These include requirements related to design controls, production and process controls, process validation, purchasing controls, supplier oversight, complaint handling and investigation, corrective and preventative actions, and record-keeping. The FDA also regulates the promotion and marketing of medical devices, and requires that manufacturers only make promotional claims or statements that are consistent with the indications and labeling cleared, authorized, or approved by the FDA. For 510(k)-exempt devices, such as the Petros’ VED devices, the FDA requires that Petros promote such products consistent with the relevant device classification. Claims outside the scope of the 510(k)-exempt classification would be considered “off-label” and trigger the requirement for a new 510(k) or other premarket submission to the FDA.

Regulatory Approval of H100™

Section 505(b)(2) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, as amended (the “FDCA”) permits the filing of a new drug application (an “NDA”), where at least some of the information required for approval comes from investigations that were not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference or use from the person by or for whom the investigations were conducted. The FDA interprets Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA, for purposes of approving an NDA, to permit the applicant to rely, in part, upon published literature and/or the FDA’s previous findings of safety and efficacy for an approved product. The FDA also requires companies to perform additional clinical trials or measurements to support any deviation from the previously-approved product and to support the reliance on the applicable published literature or referenced product, referred to as bridging. The FDA may then approve the new product candidate for all or some of the label indications for which the referenced product has been approved, as well as for any new indication sought by the Section 505(b)(2) applicant, if such approval is supported by study data. The label, however, may require all or some of the limitations, contraindications, warnings or precautions included in the reference product’s label, including a black box warning, or may require additional limitations, contraindications, warnings or precautions.

Petros currently plans to submit a 505(b)(2) NDA to the FDA for H100™ for treatment of Peyronie’s disease, which will allow Petros to rely, in part, on published scientific literature and/or the FDA’s prior findings regarding the safety and efficacy of approved drug products. If the FDA disagrees with the appropriateness of reliance on a reference listed drug or published literature or if Petros is not otherwise able to bridge to the reference listed drug or published literature, the Company may need to conduct additional clinical trials

33

or other studies, which could lead to unanticipated costs and delays or to the termination of the development program. If Petros is unable to obtain approval through the 505(b)(2) NDA process, it may be required to pursue the more expensive and time consuming 505(b)(1) approval process, which consists of full reports of investigations of safety and effectiveness conducted by or for the applicant.

Regulation of Third-Party Contract Manufacturers

Third-party contract manufacturers that Petros relies on to manufacture commercial quantities of its products are also subject to cGMPs and/or the FDA’s QSR regulations, which impose extensive procedural and documentation requirements. The FDA and corresponding state and foreign agencies perform ongoing periodic unannounced inspections to ensure strict compliance with cGMPs/QSR and other applicable government regulations. Prior to approving a marketing application, manufacturers will also need to validate their manufacturing process. The FDA will also inspect the proposed manufacturing facilities to confirm that they can produce products meeting the FDA’s regulatory standards.

Intellectual Property

Petros relies on a combination of intellectual property, including patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright, trade secret and domain name protection laws, as well as confidentiality and license agreements, to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights.

Petros’ rights to market, distribute and sell avanafil (the active ingredient in Stendra®) are granted under a License and Commercialization Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Vivus entered into on September 30, 2016, which is a sublicense under Vivus’ license agreement with the owner of the Stendra® patent, MTPC. The 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, Petros has step-in rights with MTPC, which would allow Petros to continue to sell Stendra®. In March 2020, we acquired the Hybrid License, an exclusive global license for the development and commercialization of H100™. H100™ is a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease. The Hybrid License relates to three US patents and two European patents directed to the formulation and use of H100™ in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. U.S. Patent 9,333,242 contains claims directed to a transdermal gel composition containing the unique formulation of H100™. U.S. Patent 9,238,059 contains claims directed to a method for inhibiting or treating Peyronie’s disease, comprising topically administering to a portion of penile dermis of a human with Peyronie’s disease an effective amount of a gel composition containing the formulation of H100™. Additionally, U.S. Patent 10,471,131 contains further formulation claims and method of treatment claims directed to the use of H100™ in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. There are two corresponding European Patents (EP3269372A1 and EP2804606B) that have similar corresponding issued claims. The Hybrid License terminates upon the expiration of the latest patent noted above.

Upon entering the Hybrid License, we paid an initial license fee of $100,000, and we agreed to pay to Hybrid annual payments of $250,000 and additional annual milestone payments of $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000 on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the entry into the Hybrid License. We are also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon the first commercial sale and are required to make additional payments on a sliding scale of percentages of net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. We also expect to incur approximately $14 million of research and development expenses relating to H100™ over the estimated four to six-year period of clinical development prior to FDA approval, including approximately $10 million for clinical trials and $4 million of other expenses.

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, references are made to relevant sections of our financial statements and the related notes thereto to direct the reader to a further detailed discussion. This section should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this MD&A section contains forward-looking statements reflecting Petros’ 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 prospectus.

Overview

Petros is a pharmaceutical company focused on men’s health therapeutics, consisting of wholly owned subsidiaries, Metuchen, Timm Medical, and PTV. On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into the License Agreement with 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 FDA-approved PDE-5 inhibitor prescription medication for the treatment of 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).

Metuchen was founded by Joseph J. Krivulka, an experienced pharmaceutical executive who held several key leadership positions at leading pharmaceutical companies such as Mylan Laboratories Inc. and its subsidiary Bertek Inc., and was also the co-founder of Reliant Pharmaceuticals, which was sold to GlaxoSmithKline in 2007 for $1.65 billion. During the period from Metuchen’s inception in 2016 through 2018, the founder decided to outsource the sales and marketing function to an affiliated contractor. The level of performance expected from this affiliated contractor was not realized. In 2018, the founder passed away which caused significant disruption to the business. In 2019, Metuchen terminated the relationship with this affiliate contractor and established its own internal sales, marketing, and trade distribution functions for Stendra®. Also in 2019, Metuchen deployed a specialized key account sales model augmented by a national non-personal promotion campaign reaching nearly 30,000 healthcare professionals. Metuchen also enhanced its digital campaigns designed to create awareness among patients and its partners. Additionally, Metuchen engaged in a wide array of specialty medical conferences including presentations at educational product theaters and launched a national savings coupon for enhanced product access. We believe that these activities have established a framework for growth. Following a year of internal management of marketing, sales, and trade distribution functions, we believe the Company is well-positioned for a strong, multi-channel sales and marketing campaign.

In addition to ED products, Petros is committed to identifying and developing other pharmaceuticals to advance men’s health. In March 2020, Petros acquired an exclusive global license (the “Hybrid License”) for the development and commercialization of H100™ from Hybrid Medical LLC (“Hybrid”). H100™ is a novel and patented topical formulation candidate for the treatment of acute Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s disease is a condition that occurs upon penile tissue disruption often caused by sexual activity or injury, healing into collagen-based scars that may ultimately harden and cause penile deformity. On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of $200,000, which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, $200,000 on December 1, 2021, and $200,000 on December 23, 2021.

Impact of COVID-19

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global

35

pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of any new variants, such as the Delta and the Omicron variants, will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows beyond fiscal 2021.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company had taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced its sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company has maintained a core sales team which continued to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. In response to the spread of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices, and they currently remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work remotely. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became wholly owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020.

On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”) and (ii) holders of record of Neurotrope common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, Neurotrope preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share and certain warrants as of November 30, 2020, received a pro rata distribution of common stock of Synaptogenix, resulting in a separate, independent publicly traded company.

The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Metuchen was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in the FASB’s ASC No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0% of Neurotrope and Metuchen at closing of the equity securities of the combined company immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of the combined company are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of the combined company. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020, became the

36

Company’s historical financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of Petros from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.

The Company manages its operations through two segments. The Company’s two segments, Prescription Medications and Medical Devices, 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 is in the early stages of development and has not yet sought FDA approval to begin Phase 1 clinical trials, will be within the Prescription Medications segment. 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 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 the Supply Agreement on September 30, 2016, which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. The Supply Agreement stated that Vivus would initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. In connection with the Supply Agreement, we and Vivus have been in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but we may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million.

The Company is currently negotiating with alternative vendors to manufacture our Stendra® product and replace Vivus. The Company intends to enter into a new supply agreement with one or more of these candidates in the near future and hopes to have an agreement in place in early 2022. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into any new supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us in a timely manner. As of January 5, 2022, we believe that we have sufficient supplies of Stendra® to meet demand for the next 8 months.

In December 2020, Vivus obtained approval of an in-court prepackaged plan of reorganization, under which IEH Biopharma LLC (“IEH”) obtained 100% ownership of Vivus (the “Prepackaged Plan”), and IEH assumed VIVUS’ contractual obligations under the Supply Agreement. The license agreement between MTPC and Vivus (the “MTPC License”) 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 is 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. The agreement remains in effect. In August 2018, the Company entered into the Acerus Supply Agreement, pursuant to which Acerus will purchase the product from the Company so long as the Acerus Sublicense Agreement remains in effect.

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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000 and additional payments of

37

$250,000, with additional annual milestone payments of $125,000, $150,000, and $200,000 on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the entry into the Hybrid License and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the License Agreement) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000), which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, $200,000 on December 1, 2021, and $200,000 on December 23, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements as they occur. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our respective financial statements included in this prospectus, 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 condensed 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.

The most significant sales deductions relate to returns, contract rebates, 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 either the prescription medication or medical device and receive credit for product. The provision for returns is based upon the Company’s estimates for future returns and historical experience. The provision of returns is part of the variable consideration recorded at the time revenue is recognized.

38

Accounts Receivable

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, DSA fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts.

Inventory

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 an observable market.

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.

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 a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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.

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.

Results of Operations

The impact on our results of operations of the COVID-19 pandemic and related changes in economic conditions, including changes to consumer spending resulting from the rapid rise in local and national unemployment rates, are highly uncertain and, in many instances, outside of our control. The duration and severity of the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic continue to evolve and in ways that are difficult to anticipate. There are numerous uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted our ability to forecast our future operations as a company. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, and the emergence of any new variants, will affect our business, financial position and operating results in the future cannot be predicted with certainty; however, any such impact could be material. The COVID-19 pandemic could also increase the degree to which our results, including the results of our business segments, fluctuate in the future.

40

ended September 30, 2021. Individually, sales to the four main customers accounted for 47%, 19%, 16%, and 16% of Stendra® gross sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The decrease in net sales of Stendra® was substantially the result of increased sales allowances to promote sales of the 50mg Stendra® due to the manufacturing delays of the 100mg Stendra®. This situation is expected to be resolved in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in net sales for our Medical Devices segment was attributable to decreased demand in domestic sales and international sales of VED systems.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the Medical Device segment for the three months September 30, 2021, consisted of 86% raw materials and 14% production labor.

Cost of sales decreased by $662,745 or 68% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 15% and 28%, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was a result of decreased sales order fulfillment costs (on a per unit basis) during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and decreased amortization expense due to the inventory step-up asset being fully amortized in September 2020.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was $1,826,011 or 85%, composed of $1,332,036 of gross profit from Prescription Medicines and $493,974 from Medical Devices.

41

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $292,200 or 9.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales were 42% and 48%, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was a result of less write-offs for inventory obsolescence, decreased sales order fulfillment costs (on a per unit basis), and decreased shipping expenses by the Company’s third-party logistics provider during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to reduced sales volume.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $5,513,003 or 58%, composed of $3,274,081 of gross profit from Prescription Medicines and $2,238,922 from Medical Devices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4,052,255 or 21% during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019. Decreased selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily driven by lower payroll expenses and direct marketing expenses as management sought to reduce expenses due to COVID-19; partially offset by increased accounting and legal fees associated with the Merger and a settlement of a prior year third-party liability of approximately $1.3 million no longer determined to be required.

Medical Devices depreciation and amortization primarily consists of the amortization of the intangible assets related to Timm Medical and PTV over their estimated useful life of 12 years. The increase in amortization expense was primarily driven by the accelerated method of amortization related to the Stendra® product.

Change in fair value of derivative liability

In connection with the Mergers consummated on December 1, 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received a liability classified earnout consideration to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock if either Petros’ Market Capitalization (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or Petros receives aggregate gross proceeds from securities offerings that equals or exceeds certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement. The earnout contingent consideration met the criteria to be classified as a derivative with fair value remeasurements recorded in earnings each reporting period.

During 2020, the Company borrowed additional subordinated related party term loans in aggregate principal amount of $15.5 million. The subordinated related party term loans were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock with the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020. Accordingly, the principal balance of the subordinated related party term loans and accrued PIK interest was $0 as of December 31, 2020.

Income tax benefit

Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1,426,993 compared to income tax benefit of $645,866 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The income tax benefit is primarily attributed to the operations of the Medical Device segment, specifically Timm, which is now included in the Company’s consolidated group. The consolidated group is in a valuation allowance position, as such, the legacy deferred tax liabilities recorded at Timm have been a source of taxable income which reduced the overall valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Cash totaled $8,135,184 at September 30, 2021, compared to $17,139,694 at December 31, 2020 and $2,145,812 at December 31, 2019.

We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $16.0 million, including debt of $7.2 million maturing in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to common stockholders of $61.7 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $8.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $20.1 million, including debt of $1.7 million maturing in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to holders of common stock of $62.5 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and our liability due to Vivus as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. In October 2021, the Company issued 3,323,616 shares of its common stock and received $5.5 million in net proceeds. In November 2021, the Company repaid $1.2 million in full satisfaction of its senior debt. While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to achieve our plans, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, we obtained a continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., through November 16, 2022.

To date, our principal sources of capital used to fund our operations have been the net proceeds we received from the Mergers, revenues from product sales, private sales and registered offering and private placements of equity securities and proceeds received from the issuance of convertible debt, as described below.

Our principal expenditures include payment for inventory of Stendra® from our key supplier, Vivus, including purchases of inventory accrued in current periods, but for which payment is due in future periods. We have significant unpaid balances owed to Vivus and are currently in discussions with Vivus with respect to amounts owed. We had an aggregate accrued unpaid balance owed to Vivus of $20,724,188 as of September 30, 2021. While the Company is in discussions with Vivus to convert a portion of the amounts owed into a subordinated note, though there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these discussions.

In March 2020, the Company acquired the Hybrid License, providing an exclusive license to H100™. 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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000 and an additional payment of $250,000 and additional annual milestone payments of $125,000, $150,000, and $200,000 are due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the license agreement and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the Hybrid License was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter

49

agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of two hundred thousand U.S. Dollars ($200,000), which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the second letter agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, $200,000 on December 1, 2021, and $200,000 on December 23, 2021.

The Company also expects to incur approximately $14 million of research and development expenses relating to H100™ over the estimated four to six-year period of clinical development prior to FDA approval, including approximately $10 million for clinical trials and $4 million of other expenses.

October 2021 Financing

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.

Debt

Senior Debt

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), for a $35 million term loan. The Loan Agreement includes an additional Payable-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest that increases the outstanding principal on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 1.35% and a $787,500 end of term charge. The end of term charge is being recognized as interest expense and accreted over the term of the Loan Agreement, as amended, using the effective interest method. We refer to the amounts available under the credit facility with Hercules as Senior Debt.

On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Loan Agreement (the “First Amendment”). A covenant was added, in which the Company must achieve a certain minimum EBITDA, as defined in the First Amendment, target for the trailing twelve-month period, ending June,30, 2018. The end of term charge was increased from $787,500 to $1,068,750. The minimum EBITDA for each of the trailing six months and the fixed charge coverage ratio were reduced from 1:1 to 0.9:1. The Company was also required to prepay $10 million in principle.

Effective April 13, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Loan Agreement, (the “Second Amendment”), to extend the maturity date thereof to April 1, 2021, subject to further extension to December 1, 2021, if the Company raises at least $20 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction. All previously accrued PIK interest was added to accrued principal, and no further PIK interest will accrue. The cash interest would accrue at a rate of the greater of (i) the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus 11.50% minus 4.25% and (ii) 11.50%. The interest rate was 11.50% at September 30, 2021. The end of term charge of $1,068,750 was partially extended with $534,375 due on October 1, 2020, and $534,375 due on February 1, 2021. The Company incurred a $50,000 amendment fee upon closing of the Second Amendment.

Effective September 30, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into the Amendment No. 3 to Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to provide for interest only payments commencing on October 1, 2020, and continuing through December 22, 2020, unless the Company raises net cash proceeds of at least $25 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction on or before December 21, 2020. The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue, and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P., an affiliate of the JCP Investor, Hercules, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow certain funds in an aggregate amount equal to certain principal payments owed under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

The Company satisfied the maturity date extension requirement pursuant to funds retained upon the closing of the Mergers in December 2020. As a result, the Senior Debt now has a maturity date of December 1, 2021.

51

On November 3, 2021, the Company repaid the remaining balance due on the Senior Debt.

Subordinated Related Party Term Loans

During 2020, the Company entered into Subordinated Promissory Notes with the JCP Investor in the principal amount of $15.5 million. The maturity date of the Subordinated Promissory Notes was April 2, 2021, and they had PIK interest that increases the outstanding principal on a daily basis at an annual rate of 20%.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement on May 17, 2020, the JCP Investor, Neurotrope and Metuchen entered into a Note Conversion and Loan Repayment Agreement pursuant to which, the JCP Investor agreed to convert all of the above outstanding subordinated promissory notes and accrued PIK interest of the Company held by Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP and the JCP Investor, into Petros common stock in connection with the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, and the Subordinated Promissory Notes were terminated. Accordingly, the principal balance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes and accrued PIK interest was $0 as of December 31, 2020.

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 with this prospectus. 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

53

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.

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 income 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.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income (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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net sales to gross billings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that a public company may deduct as a business expense in any year with respect to such company’s chief executive officer, certain other named executive officers, and all “covered employees” as defined by Section 162(m). This deduction limitation did not previously apply to Metuchen as a private company.

The Company’s Compensation Committee intends to maximize deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) to the extent practicable while maintaining a competitive, performance-based compensation program. However, the Company’s compensation committee reserves the right to award compensation which it deems to be in the Company’s best interest and in the best interest of its stockholders, but which may not be fully tax deductible under Code Section 162(m).

2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan

The Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the “2020 Plan”) was approved by our stockholders on November 25, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), and amended by the First Amendment on November 17, 2021 and the Second Amendment on December 22, 2021, and is a successor to the Neurotrope, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan and the Neurotrope, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, amended as of July 23, 2014 and further amended as of November 21, 2016 (collectively, the “Prior Plans”).

On December 22, 2021, our stockholders approved the Second Amendment to the 2020 Plan to increase the total number of shares of common stock issuable under the 2020 Plan by 1,521,654 shares to a total of 2,600,000 shares of common stock.

As of January 5, 2022, we had 1,867,948 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Purpose and Types of Awards

The purpose of the 2020 Plan is to attract and retain key employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, and advisors. The 2020 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock awards, stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards. The 2020 Plan is intended to provide an incentive to participants to contribute to Petros’ economic success by aligning the economic interests of participants with those of Petros’ stockholders.

61

Administration

The 2020 Plan is administered by Petros’ Compensation Committee. The committee consists of “non-employee directors” as defined under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and “independent directors” as determined in accordance with the independence standards established by the stock exchange on which Petros’ common stock is at the time primarily traded. The committee determines the terms and conditions applicable to awards under the 2020 Plan, including, without limitation, who will receive awards and the number of shares of common stock subject to awards. The committee may delegate authority under the 2020 Plan to one or more subcommittees as it deems appropriate. Subject to compliance with applicable law and the applicable stock exchange rules, the Board, in its discretion, may perform any action of the committee under the 2020 Plan. Subject to compliance with applicable law and applicable stock exchange requirements, the committee (or the Board or a subcommittee, as applicable) may delegate all or part of its authority to Petros’ Chief Executive Officer, as it deems appropriate, with respect to awards to employees, consultants, or advisors who are not executive officers or directors under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The committee, the Board, any subcommittee, or the Chief Executive Officer, as applicable, that has authority with respect to a specific award will be referred to as “the committee” in this description of the 2020 Plan.

Shares Subject to the 2020 Plan

Subject to adjustment, the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred under the 2020 Plan, as amended, with respect to awards made on and after the Effective Date is 2,600,000 shares. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans that terminate, expire, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested, or paid in shares under the Prior Plans, as applicable, after the Effective Date will be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

If any options or stock appreciation rights, including outstanding options granted under the Prior Plans, terminate, expire, or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, or if any stock awards, stock units, or other stock-based awards are forfeited, terminated, or otherwise not paid in full, the shares of Petros’ common stock subject to such awards will again be available for purposes of the 2020 Plan. Shares of Petros’ common stock that are surrendered in payment of the exercise price of an option (including an option granted under the Prior Plans) or a stock appreciation right will not again be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. Shares of Petros’ common stock that are withheld in satisfaction of the withholding taxes, or surrendered for the payment of taxes, incurred in connection with the issuance, vesting, or exercise of any award (including an option granted under the Prior Plans), or the issuance of Petros’ common stock will not be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. When stock appreciation rights are granted, the full number of shares subject to the stock appreciation rights will be considered issued under the 2020 Plan regardless of the number of shares issued upon exercise of the stock appreciation rights. If Petros repurchases shares of Petros’ common stock on the open market with the proceeds from the exercise price Petros receives from options (including options granted under the Prior Plans), the repurchased shares will not be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan. If any awards are paid in cash, and not in shares of Petros’ common stock, any shares of Petros’ common stock subject to such awards will also be available for future awards. In addition, shares of Petros’ common stock issued under awards made pursuant to assumption, substitution, or exchange of previously granted awards of a company that Petros acquires will not reduce the number of shares of Petros’ common stock available under the 2020 Plan. Available shares under a stockholder approved plan of an acquired company may be used for awards under the 2020 Plan and will not reduce the share reserve, subject to compliance with the applicable stock exchange requirements and the Code.

The maximum number of shares of Petros’ common stock that may be subject to an option, stock appreciation right, stock award, stock unit, or other stock-based awards made to any employee, consultant, or advisor under the 2020 Plan, as interpreted and administered by Petros since the Effective Date, in any calendar year will not exceed 216,669 shares of Petros’ common stock in the aggregate, subject to adjustments as described below. The limit for awards that are made to newly hired employees on around their date of hire is two times the limit described in the preceding sentence, subject to any adjustments as described below. The maximum aggregate grant date value of shares of common stock subject to awards made to any non-employee director during any calendar year for services rendered as a non-employee director, including any cash fees earned for services rendered as a non-employee director during the calendar year, will not exceed $750,000 in total value. In determining this dollar limit, the value of awards will be calculated based on the grant date fair value of the awards for financial reporting purposes.

Adjustments

In connection with stock splits (reverse stock splits), stock dividends, recapitalizations, and certain other events affecting Petros’ common stock, the committee will make adjustments as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, in (i) the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance as awards or for which individuals may receive awards in any year, (ii) the number and

62

kind of shares covered by outstanding awards, (iii) the kind of shares that may be issued or transferred under the 2020 Plan, (iv) the price per share or market value of any outstanding awards, (v) the exercise price of options and the base amount of stock appreciation rights, and (vi) the performance goals or other terms and conditions as the committee deems appropriate.

Eligibility

All of Petros’ employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Plan. In addition, Petros’ consultants and advisors who render bona fide services for Petros may receive awards under the 2020 Plan if (i) the services rendered are not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction, and (ii) such consultant or advisor does not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for Petros’ securities. Incentive stock options may be granted only to Petros’ employees.

Vesting

The committee determines the vesting and exercisability terms of awards granted under the 2020 Plan. Except in connection with a change in control (in which case, awards will be treated as described below), the committee may generally accelerate the vesting of awards in its discretion, provided such acceleration complies with Sections 409A and 424 of the Code. Dividends and dividend equivalents granted in connection with any awards made under the 2020 Plan will vest and be paid only if and to the extent the underlying awards vest and are paid.

At the committee’s discretion, performance objectives for awards may be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more performance goals established by the committee. If the committee so determines, the vesting of any such award subject to performance objectives may be described in terms of company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual participant or the subsidiary, division, department, or function within the company or subsidiary in which the participant is employed. Performance objectives may be measured on an absolute or relative basis. Relative performance may be measured by a group of peer companies or by a financial market index. Performance objectives may include: specified levels of or increases in, a division’s or a subsidiary’s return on capital, equity, or assets; earnings measures/ratios (on a gross, net, pre-tax, or post-tax basis), including basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, total earnings, operating earnings, earnings growth, earnings before interest and taxes and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization; net economic profit (which is operating earnings minus a charge to capital); net income; operating income; sales; sales growth; gross margin; direct margin; costs; share price (including but not limited to growth measures and total stockholder return); operating profit; per period or cumulative cash flow (including but not limited to operating cash flow and free cash flow) or cash flow return on investment (which equals net cash flow divided by total capital); inventory turns; financial return ratios; market share; balance sheet measurements such as receivable turnover; improvement in or attainment of expense levels; improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; debt reduction; strategic innovation; customer or employee satisfaction; the consummation of one or more acquisitions of a certain size as measured by one or more of the financial criteria listed above; individual objectives; regulatory body approval for commercialization of a product; implementation or completion of critical projects (including, but not limited to, milestones such as clinical trial enrollment targets, commencement of phases of clinical trials and completion of phases of clinical trials); and any combination of the foregoing.

Options

Under the 2020 Plan, the committee will determine the exercise price of the options granted and may grant options to purchase shares of common stock in such amounts as it determines. The committee may grant options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, or non-qualified stock options, which are not intended to so qualify. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to eligible participants under the 2020 Plan, but incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Petros or its parent or subsidiaries that are corporations. The exercise price of a stock option granted under the 2020 Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of Petros’ common stock on the date the option is granted. If an incentive stock option is granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of Petros’ common stock on the date the option is granted. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred under the 2020 Plan, as interpreted and administered by Petros since the Effective Date, pursuant to incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code granted on and after the Effective Date may not exceed 2,600,000 shares of common stock. The fair market value of Petros’ common stock is generally equal to the closing price for the common stock on the date the option is granted (or if there was no closing price on that date, on the last preceding date on which a closing price was reported). If the fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of the shares with respect to which a participant’s incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time during any year, whether granted under the 2020 Plan or any Prior Plans, exceeds $100,000, then incentive stock options for the shares over the $100,000 threshold will be treated as nonqualified stock options, rather incentive stock options.

63

The exercise price for any option is generally payable in cash or check. In certain circumstances as permitted by the committee, the exercise price may be paid by (i) the surrender of shares of Petros’ common stock with an aggregate fair market value on the date the option is exercised that is at least equal to the exercise price, (ii) payment through a broker in accordance with procedures established by the Federal Reserve Board, (iii) withholding shares of common stock subject to the exercisable option which have a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price, (iv) or such other method as the committee approves.

The term of an option cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant, except that if an incentive stock option is granted to a 10% or greater stockholder, the term cannot exceed five years from the date of grant. In the event that on the last day of the term of a non-qualified stock option, the exercise is prohibited by applicable law, including a prohibition on purchases or sales of Petros’ common stock under Petros’ insider trading policy, the term of the non-qualified option will be extended for a period of 30 days following the end of the legal prohibition, unless the committee determines otherwise.

Except as provided in the award agreement, an option may only be exercised while a participant is employed by or providing service to Petros. The committee will determine in the award agreement under what circumstances and during what time periods a participant may exercise an option after termination of employment.

Stock Appreciation Rights

Under the 2020 Plan, the committee may grant stock appreciation rights to eligible participants separately or in tandem with any options. Stock appreciation rights granted with a non-qualified stock option may be granted either at the time the non-qualified stock option is granted or any time thereafter while the option remains outstanding. Stock appreciation rights granted with an incentive stock option may be granted only at the time of the grant of the incentive stock option. The committee will establish the base amount of the stock appreciation right at the time the stock appreciation right is granted, which will be equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Petros’ common stock as of the date of grant.

If a stock appreciation right is granted in tandem with an option, the number of stock appreciation rights that are exercisable during a specified period will not exceed the number of shares of Petros’ common stock that the participant may purchase upon exercising the related option during such period. Upon exercising the related option, the related stock appreciation rights will terminate, and upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the related option will terminate, to the extent of an equal number of shares of Petros’ common stock. Generally, stock appreciation rights may only be exercised while the participant is employed by, or providing services to, Petros unless otherwise specified by the committee. When a participant exercises a stock appreciation right, the participant will receive the excess of the fair market value of the underlying common stock over the base amount of the stock appreciation right. The appreciation of a stock appreciation right will be paid in shares of Petros’ common stock, cash, or both.

The term of a stock appreciation right cannot exceed ten years from the date of grant. In the event that on the last day of the term of a stock appreciation right, the exercise is prohibited by applicable law, including a prohibition on purchases or sales of Petros’ common stock under Petros’ insider trading policy, the term of the stock appreciation right will be extended for a period of 30 days following the end of the legal prohibition, unless the committee determines otherwise.

Stock Awards

Under the 2020 Plan, the committee may grant stock awards to eligible participants. A stock award is an award of Petros’ common stock that may be subject to restrictions as the committee determines. The restrictions, if any, may lapse over a specified period of employment or based on the satisfaction of pre-established criteria, in installments, or otherwise, as the committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted under the award agreement relating to the stock award, a participant will have all of the rights of a stockholder as to those shares, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends or distributions on the shares; provided, however, that dividends with respect to stock awards shall vest and be paid if and to the extent that the underlying stock award vests and is paid. All unvested stock awards are forfeited if the participant’s employment or service is terminated for any reason, unless the committee determines otherwise.

Stock Units

Under the 2020 Plan, the committee may grant restricted stock units to eligible participants. Restricted stock units are phantom units that represent shares of Petros’ common stock. Restricted stock units become payable on terms and conditions determined by the committee and will be payable in cash or shares of Petros’ stock as determined by the committee. All unvested restricted stock units are forfeited if the participant’s employment or service is terminated for any reason, unless the committee determines otherwise.

64

Other Stock-Based Awards

Under the 2020 Plan, the committee may grant other types of awards that are based on or measured by shares of Petros’ common stock to eligible participants. The committee will determine the terms and conditions of such awards. Other stock-based awards may be payable in cash, shares of Petros’ common stock, or a combination of the two.

Dividend Equivalents

Under the 2020 Plan, the committee may grant dividend equivalents in connection with awards of stock units or other stock-based awards made under the 2020 Plan. Dividend equivalents entitle the participant to receive amounts equal to ordinary dividends that are paid on the shares underlying an award while the award is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be paid in cash, in shares of Petros’ common stock, or in a combination of the two. The committee will determine the terms and conditions of the dividend equivalent awards, including whether the awards are payable upon the achievement of specific performance goals; provided, however, that dividend equivalents shall vest and be paid only if and to the extent that the underlying stock units or other stock-based awards vest and are paid. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividends or dividend equivalents will be granted with respect to stock options or stock appreciation rights.

Change in Control

If Petros experiences a “change in control” (as defined in the 2020 Plan, which definition is generally described below) where Petros is not the surviving corporation (or survive only as a subsidiary of another corporation), all outstanding awards that are not exercised or paid at the time of the change in control will be assumed by, or replaced with awards that have comparable terms by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation). In the event that the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation) does not assume or replace awards with grants that have comparable terms, outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will accelerate and become fully exercisable and the restrictions and conditions on outstanding stock awards, stock units, other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents immediately lapse, provided that if the vesting of any such awards is based, in whole or in part, on performance, such awards shall vest based on the greater of (i) actual performance as of the change in control, or (ii) target performance, pro-rated based on the period elapsed between the beginning of the applicable performance period and the date of the change in control. At the committee’s discretion, if awards are assumed by, or replaced with awards that have comparable terms by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation) and a participant incurs an involuntary termination of employment or service on or after a change in control, the participant’s outstanding awards may become vested, in whole or in part, as of the date of termination; provided that if the vesting of any such award is based, in whole or in part, on performance, such awards shall vest only based on the greater of (i) actual performance as of the change in control, or (ii) target performance, pro-rated based on the period elapsed between the beginning of the applicable performance period and the date of the termination.

If there is a change in control and any outstanding awards are not assumed by, or replaced with awards that have comparable terms by, the surviving corporation, the committee may take any of the following action without the consent of any participant:

● pay participants, in an amount and form determined by the committee, in settlement of outstanding stock units, other stock-based awards, or dividend equivalents;

● require that participants surrender their outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, or any other exercisable award, in exchange for a payment by Petros, in cash or shares of Petros’ common stock, equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock; provided, however, if the per share fair market value of the common stock does not exceed the per share stock option exercise price or stock appreciation right base amount, as applicable, Petros will not be required to make any payment to the participant upon surrender of the stock option or stock appreciation right; or

● after giving participants an opportunity to exercise all of their outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights, terminate any unexercised stock options and stock appreciation rights on the date determined by the committee.

In general terms, a “change in control” under the 2020 Plan includes:

● the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by a person of more than 50% of the combined voting power of Petros’ voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; provided, however, that the following acquisitions of voting securities shall not constitute a change in control: (a) any acquisition by or from Petros or any of its subsidiaries, or by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Petros or any of its subsidiaries, (b) any acquisition by any underwriter

65

in any firm commitment underwriting of securities to be issued by Petros, or (c) any acquisition by any corporation (or other entity) if, immediately following such acquisition, 50% or more of the then outstanding shares of common stock (or other equity unit) of such corporation (or other entity) and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation (or other entity), are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals or entities who, immediately prior to such acquisition, were the beneficial owners of Petros’ then outstanding shares of common stock and the voting securities in substantially the same proportions, respectively, as their ownership immediately prior to the acquisition of Petros’ stock and voting securities;

● the consummation of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Petros’ assets, other than to a wholly-owned subsidiary or to a holding company of which Petros is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary prior to such transaction;

● the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of Petros, other than a reorganization, merger or consolidation which would result in Petros’ voting securities outstanding immediately prior to the transaction continuing to represent (whether by remaining outstanding or by being converted to voting securities of the surviving entity) 65% or more of the voting securities or the voting power of the voting securities of such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such transaction;

● the consummation of a plan for Petros’ complete liquidation; or

● the following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board: individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constituted the Board and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including, but not limited to, a consent solicitation relating to the election of Petros’ directors) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by Petros’ stockholders was approved and recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the Effective Date or whose appointment, election or nomination for election was previously so approved or recommended.

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of an award under the 2020 Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, only an event which constitutes a “change in control event” as defined under Section 409A of the Code shall constitute a change in ownership or effective control for purposes of the payment provisions under the 2020 Plan.

Deferrals

The committee may permit or require participants to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of common stock that would otherwise be due to the participant in connection with an award under the 2020 Plan. The committee will establish the rules and procedures applicable to any such deferrals, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Withholding

All awards under the 2020 Plan are subject to applicable U.S. federal (including Federal Insurance Contribution Act (“FICA”)), state and local, foreign, or other tax withholding requirements. Petros may require participants or other persons receiving awards or exercising awards to pay an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements with respect to such awards, or Petros may deduct from other wages and compensation paid by Petros the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to such award.

The committee may permit or require that Petros’ tax withholding obligation with respect to awards paid in Petros’ common stock will be paid by having shares withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the participant’s applicable withholding tax rate for U.S. federal (including FICA), state and local, foreign, or other tax liabilities. In addition, the committee may, in its discretion, and subject to such rules as the committee may adopt, allow participants to elect to have such share withholding applied to all or a portion of the tax withholding obligation arising in connection with any particular award.

Transferability

Except as permitted by the committee with respect to non-qualified stock options, only a participant may exercise rights under an award during the participant’s lifetime. Upon death, the personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the participant may exercise such rights. A participant cannot transfer those rights except (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) with respect to awards other than incentive stock options, pursuant to a domestic relations order. The committee may provide in an award agreement that a participant may transfer non-qualified stock options to (x) family members, or (y) one or more trusts or other entities for the benefit of or owned by family members, consistent with applicable securities laws; provided, the participant receives no consideration for the transfer and the transferred options continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately before the transfer.

66

Amendment; Termination

The Board may amend or terminate the 2020 Plan at any time, except that Petros’ stockholders must approve an amendment if such approval is required in order to comply with the Code, applicable laws, or applicable stock exchange requirements. Unless terminated sooner by the Board or extended with stockholder approval, the 2020 Plan will terminate on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Stockholder approval is required to (i) amend the terms of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights to reduce the exercise price or base price of options or stock appreciation rights, respectively, (ii) cancel outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original options or stock appreciation rights, or (iii) cancel outstanding options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price or base price, as applicable, above the current stock price in exchange for cash or other securities. However, such stockholder approval is not required in connection with certain corporate transactions or other actions with respect to Petros’ securities, such as a stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Petros’ common stock.

Establishment of Sub-Plans

The Board may, from time to time, establish one or more sub-plans under the 2020 Plan to satisfy applicable blue sky, securities, or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Board may establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the 2020 Plan setting forth limitations on the committee’s discretion and such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the 2020 Plan as the Board will deem necessary or desirable. All such supplements will be deemed part of the 2020 Plan, but each supplement will only apply to participants within the affected jurisdiction.

Clawback

Subject to applicable law, the committee may provide in any award agreement that if a participant breaches any restrictive covenant agreement between the participant and Petros, or otherwise engages in activities that constitute cause either while employed by, or providing services to, Petros or within the applicable period of time thereafter, all awards held by the participant will terminate, and Petros may rescind any exercise of an option or stock appreciation right and the vesting of any other award and delivery of shares upon such exercise or vesting, as applicable on such terms as the committee will determine, including the right to require that in the event of any rescission:

● the participant must return the shares received upon the exercise of any option or stock appreciation right or the vesting and payment of any other awards; or

● if the participant no longer owns the shares, the participant must pay to Petros the amount of any gain realized or payment received as a result of any sale or other disposition of the shares (if the participant transferred the shares by gift or without consideration, then the fair market value of the shares on the date of the breach of the restrictive covenant agreement or activity constituting cause), net of the price originally paid by the participant for the shares.

All awards are also subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policy, share trading policy, and other policies that the Board may adopt and amend from time to time. Payment by the participant will be made in such manner and on such terms and conditions as may be required by the committee. Petros will be entitled to set off against the amount of any such payment any amounts that Petros otherwise owes to the participant.

Employment Benefits Plans

Petros 401(k) Plan

Petros has a defined contribution retirement plan in which all employees are eligible to participate. This plan is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code so that contributions by employees and by Petros to the plan and income earned on plan contributions are not taxable to employees until withdrawn or distributed from the plan, and so that contributions, including employee salary deferral contributions, will be deductible by Petros when made. Petros currently provides contributions under this plan of up to six percent (6%) of an employee’s compensation, subject to statutory limits.

67

Participants may elect a salary deferral up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit for tax-deferred contributions and Metuchen may make contributions up to six percent (6%) of the participant’s compensation, subject to certain statutory limits.

Petros also contributes to medical, disability and other standard insurance plans for its employees.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and our current credit facility restricts our ability to declare or pay cash dividends or distributions. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings to fund development and growth of our business, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The decision to pay dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our ability to obtain a waiver of the restriction on paying dividends contained in our credit facility, and on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed below and donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer.

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the selling stockholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 2,391,348 shares of our common stock, which are comprised of (i) 641,406 PIPE Shares, (ii) 1,639,942 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants, and (iii) 110,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Katalyst Warrants.

The Registered Direct Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement

On December 22, 2021, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited and institutional investors (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”) 1,545,183 shares of our common stock to certain of the Purchasers at an offering price of $3.43 per share and associated Investor Warrant. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in the concurrent Private Placement, the Company also sold to the Purchasers (i) 641,406 PIPE Shares at an offering price of $3.43 per share and associated Investor Warrant, and (ii) Investor Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,639,942 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The Investor Warrants became exercisable immediately upon the closing of the Private Placement on December 27, 2021 and will expire five years following that date.

Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Warrants other than JCP III SM AIV, LP will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation up to 9.99%. Any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days following notice of such change to the Company.

In addition, under the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants on or before the 15th calendar day following the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Warrants may not be assigned or transferred without the Company’s prior written consent.

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Warrants.

Katalyst provided financial advisory services to us in connection with the Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement, pursuant to an Advisory Consulting Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2021, between us and Katalyst (the “Katalyst Agreement”). Pursuant to the Katalyst Agreement, we paid Katalyst an advisory fee and legal expenses totaling $560,000. In addition, we issued to Katalyst or its representatives or designees the Katalyst Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 110,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The Katalyst Warrants became exercisable immediately upon the closing of the Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement on December 27, 2021 and will expire five years following that date.

Information About Selling Stockholders Offering

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Warrants, see “—The Registered Direct Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement” above. We are registering the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock, as of January 5, 2022, assuming exercise of the securities exercisable into shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders on that date, if applicable, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises.

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

This prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the PIPE Shares, (ii) the maximum number of Investor Warrant Shares, and (iii) the maximum number of Katalyst Warrant Shares. The table below assumes that the outstanding Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to adjustment as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement, without regard to any limitations on the conversion or exercise of the Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, assuming exercise of the securities exercisable into shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders on that date, if applicable, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercises.

Under the terms of the Warrants, subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Warrants other than JCP III SM AIV, LP will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation up to 9.99%, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants which have not been exercised. As noted above, the number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares of common stock in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The percentages in the following table reflect the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder as a percentage of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of January 5, 2022, assuming that all of the Warrants have been exercised. As of January 5, 2022, 20,684,723 shares of common stock were outstanding, before giving effect to the exercise of the Warrants.

(the “JCP Investor,” and together with the related parties “the Related Holders”), wherein the Related Holders agreed to subordinate outstanding indebtedness of the Company owed to the Related Holders (“Sub Debt”) to the indebtedness owed under a Loan Agreement for a $35 million term loan that was entered into by the Company and Hercules on the same date (the “Loan Agreement”). On November 22, 2017, the Company and the Related Holders entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the principal balance of the Sub Debt was increased to $30,579,496. The cash interest rate of the amended Sub Debt was 12%. Additional PIK interest due in respect of the Sub Debt was 8% payable on the maturity date.

The fair value of the Sub Debt was $22,250,746 at December 10, 2018. A debt discount of $15,506,463 was recognized and was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Sub Debt using the effective interest method.

On December 10, 2018, the Company signed a subordinated promissory note for an additional $4,750,000 of Sub Debt from the JCP Investor. The principal, along with PIK interest at an annual rate of 25%, was due on April 2, 2021.

On September 16, 2019, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with JCP III SM AIV, L.P. and L. Mazur Associates, JV to exchange Preferred and Common Units for the Sub Debt. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 1,373,820.51 Preferred Units and 2,434,551.28 Common Units at a fair market value of $46,617,232.32 to the Related Parties in exchange for the full satisfaction and termination of the subordinated related party term loan. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, affiliates of JCP III received 1,129,497.00 Preferred Units and 2,001,584.89 Common Units.

Subordinated Promissory Notes

From January 31, 2020 through October 1, 2020, the Company entered into various Subordinated Promissory Notes with JCP III AIV in the aggregate principal amount of $15.5 million. The maturity date of each Subordinated Promissory Note was April 2, 2021. Each Subordinated Promissory Note carried PIK interest at an annual rate of 20%. The Subordinated Promissory Notes’ aggregate principal balance and accrued PIK interest was converted into 1,762,913.30 Common Units of Metuchen, which were then converted into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the consummation of the merger transactions involving the Company (the “Mergers”) on December 1, 2020, and the Subordinated Promissory Notes were terminated.

77

Escrow Agreement

Effective September 30, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“Third Amendment”) to provide for interest only payments commencing on October 1, 2020 and continuing through December 22, 2020 unless the Company raised net cash proceeds of at least $25 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction on or before December 21, 2020. The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P., Hercules and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow certain funds in an aggregate amount equal to certain principal payments owed under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

October 2021 Registered Direct Offering and Private Placement

On October 13, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “October SPA”) with JCP III AIV and certain other accredited and institutional investors, pursuant to which we sold to JCP III AIV (i) 1,661,807 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering at an offering price of $1.715 per share and associated warrant and, (ii) in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,661,807 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.715 per share. The warrants became exercisable immediately upon the closing of the offering on October 18, 2021 and will expire five years following that date. The shares were sold pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, dated October 13, 2021, relating to the offering.

November 2021 Private Placement

On November 29, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November SPA”) with JCP III AIV and certain other accredited and institutional investors, pursuant to which we sold to JCP III AIV, in a private placement, (i) 500,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $3.00 per share and associated warrant and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 375,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The warrants became exercisable immediately upon the closing of the offering on December 2, 2021 and will expire five years following that date. The shares and the warrants were issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

General

The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), and amended and restated by-laws (the “By-laws”) are summaries and are qualified by reference to the Articles of Incorporation and the By-laws that are on file with the SEC.

Authorized Capital Stock

We have authorized 200,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 150,000,000 are shares of common stock and 50,000,000 are shares of “blank check” preferred stock. On January 5, 2022, there were 20,684,723 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. The authorized and unissued shares of common stock and the authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless such action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which our securities may be listed. Unless approval of our stockholders is so required, our Board does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of our common stock or preferred stock.

As of January 5, 2022, we had 190 holders of record of our shares of common stock.

Common Stock

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably the dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends at such times and in such amounts as our Board of Directors (the “Board”) from time to time may determine, subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. Our common stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock after payment of liabilities, accrued dividends and liquidation preferences, if any. All outstanding shares are, when sold, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

The Board is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock without further action by the holders of our common stock. The shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and, therefore, reduce the value of the common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock; however, these effects may include:

● Restricting dividends on the common stock;

● Diluting the voting power of the common stock;

● Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or

● Delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders.

Registration Rights

On December 1, 2020, Petros entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with JCP III SM AIV, L.P. and its affiliates who hold Petros capital stock (the “Juggernaut Holders”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Juggernaut Holders have the demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights described below, in either case, registering the resale of their shares of Petros Common Stock. These registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations.

79

Demand Registration Rights. Petros is obligated to file a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act covering the resale of all the shares of Petros capital stock held by the Juggernaut Holders and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such shelf registration statement declared effective. Following the nine month anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, Juggernaut Holders of at least $10.0 million worth of Petros’ registrable securities shall have the right to sell all or part of their registrable shares of Petros capital stock by delivering a written request to Petros for an underwritten offering. In the event a shelf registration statement has been declared effective and is unavailable, Juggernaut Holders of at least $10.0 million worth of Petros’s registrable securities shall have the right to require Petros to effect a long-form registration statement. In no event will the Registration Rights Agreement require Petros file more than two long-form registration statements or require Petros to cause a long-form registration statement to be declared effective within a period of 90 days after the effective date of any other registration statement, other than a Form S-4 or Form S-8 or comparable form.

Piggyback Registration Rights. If Petros proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act for the purposes of registering Petros securities, other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor forms thereto, the Juggernaut Holders are entitled to receive notice of such registration and to request that Petros includes their registrable securities for resale in the registration statement.

Expenses of Registration. Petros will pay all registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, related to any demand or piggyback registration. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which Petros is obligated to indemnify the selling Juggernaut Holders, in the event of misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to Petros except in the event of fraud, and the selling Juggernaut Holders are obligated to indemnify Petros for misstatements or omissions attributable to them.

Expiration of Registration Right. The registration rights will terminate five years from the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Specified Articles of Incorporation and By-laws Provisions

Preferred Stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable the Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to gain control of Petros by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of us or stockholders, the Board could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Articles of Incorporation grant the Board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of Petros.

Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide that stockholders may take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not take action by written consent. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of the Board or by our chief executive officer or, if the office of chief executive officer is vacant, our president. In no event may our stockholders call a special meeting of stockholders.

Business Combinations. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which relate to business combinations with interested stockholders, do not apply to us. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that such person became an interested stockholder, unless either the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of our board of directors, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and stockholders in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of our outstanding voting stock in the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our By-laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of

80

stockholders, must meet specified procedural requirements. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.

Exclusive Forum Charter Provision. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws require that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for a stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring for the following:

i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company;

ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders;

iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws; or

iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine;

except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Because the applicability of the exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not intend that the exclusive forum provision would apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, and acknowledge that federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Directors’ Liability. Our Articles of Incorporation limit the personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and provides that no director will have personal liability to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. However, these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of any of our directors:

● for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

● for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● for voting or assenting to unlawful payments of dividends, stock repurchases or other distributions; or

● for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

81

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each selling stockholder of securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

● privately negotiated transactions;

● settlement of short sales;

● in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

● through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

● a combination of any such methods of sale; or

● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Metuchen Pharmaceuticals, LLC)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Subsidiaries (formerly Metuchen Pharmaceuticals, LLC, (the “Company”)) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity/members’ capital, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ EisnerAmper LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

PETROS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

(Formerly Metuchen Pharmaceuticals, LLC)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware corporation on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020. On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neurotrope.

The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Metuchen was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0% of the equity securities of Petros immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of Petros are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of Petros. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020 became the Company’s historical financial statements, including the comparative prior periods. These Consolidated Financial Statements include Metuchen, Petros and Neurotrope, Inc, after the spin-off discussed above. from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.

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

Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $16.0 million, including debt of $7.2 million maturing in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to common stockholders of $61.7 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash and cash equivalents on hand, negotiating an extension of our debt arrangement and our liability due to Vivus as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, we obtained a continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., through May 17, 2022.

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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment, and the allocation of the purchase price in acquisitions. 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to rapidly evolve, “shelter in place” orders and other public health guidance measures were implemented across much of the United States, Europe and Asia, including in the locations of the Company’s offices, key vendors and partners. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy. At this time, the future trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak remains uncertain, both in the United States and in other markets. While the Company anticipates that currently available vaccines will be widely distributed in the future, the timing and efficacy of such vaccines are uncertain. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians have prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company has taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced our sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company has maintained a core sales team which continues to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. The Company anticipates rehiring and/or assigning representatives to cover sales territories as states reopen and physician access resumes new normal levels. In response to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of December 31, 2020, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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, may be in excess of insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

F-8

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, and H100™ for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 18 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 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserves for sales deductions were $8.6 million and $12.0 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserves for product returns were $7.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

F-9

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include Vacuum Erection Devices, PreBoost, VenoSeal, penile injections (Rx), and urinary tract infection tests. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, distribution service fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts. See Note 3 Accounts, Receivable, net.

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. See Note 4 Inventories.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life that the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. Intangible assets are amortized using an

F-10

accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. The Company review the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives, or 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.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy, as well as its potential impact to the Company’s business operations and cash flows, the Company constituted the COVID-19 outbreak as a triggering event requiring an impairment test for its long-lived assets with finite useful lives. The Company’s projections included the undiscounted cash flows of the remaining estimated useful lives for the Stendra product through December 2028 and December 2030 for the medical device products. Based on the impairment assessment as of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment occurred as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the respective carrying values of the assets. The Company did not record any impairments of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually in December of each year in connection with the annual budgeting and forecast process and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we may first perform an assessment qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, referred to as a “step zero” approach. Subsequently (if necessary after step zero), an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. This quantitative impairment test uses a combination of the income method and guideline public company comparable companies. The income method is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses significant assumptions of projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates and the cost of capital. Under Topic 350, goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value. The Company incurred a goodwill impairment loss of $2,443,930 during the year ended December 31, 2019, related to the prescription medications segment.

Balance, December 31, 2018	$	2,443,930
Impairment loss		(2,443,930)
Balance, December 31, 2019	$	—

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture and fixtures. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The Company uses an estimated useful life of 7 years for furniture and fixtures. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $10,220 and $1,703, respectively.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Topic 842 requires organizations to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and

F-11

to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component for all leases.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets whereas operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applies this policy to all underlying asset categories.

Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

See Note 2 and Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of December 31, 2020 approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

F-12

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of the closing of the Merger and December 31, 2020 was $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Costs incurred to issue debt are deferred and presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.

Related amortization expense is recorded as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Costs of Equity Transactions

Incremental direct costs incurred to issue stocks of the Company’s preferred and common stocks are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLCs”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Following the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen is treated as a disregarded entity (“SMLLC”) for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations of Metuchen are reported on the members’ income tax returns through the period in which the Merger was transacted. Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

F-13

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted and signed into law, and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The CARES Act, among other things, includes changes to the tax provisions that benefits business entities and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, permitting net operating losses, or NOLs, carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act provides other reliefs and stimulus measures. We have evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and do not expect that any provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us or have a material impact on our financial statements or internal controls over financial reporting.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to various patent challenges, product liability claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping Costs

The Company records the costs of shipping related to prescription medication sales in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. There were no shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Shipping costs related to medical devices are recorded as revenue and subsequently deducted as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $108,870 and $130,242 respectively.

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 common stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the 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 stock of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3

8)    Debt

Senior Debt

The following is a summary of the Company’s senior indebtedness at December 31, 2020 and 2019:

	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Principal balance	$	6,653,292	$	11,688,979
Plus: Paid-In-Kind interest		—		1,101,575
Plus: End of term fee		534,237		952,416
Less: Debt issuance costs		(12,500)		—
Total senior debt	$	7,175,029	$	13,742,970

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Hercules, a third party, for a $35 million term loan (“Senior Debt”) with a stated interest rate of the greater of either (i) Prime plus 7.25% or (ii) 10.75%. The Senior Debt includes an additional Paid-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest that increases the outstanding principal on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 1.35% and a $787,500 end of term charge.

On November 22, 2017, the Company amended its loan agreement with Hercules (“First Amendment”). A covenant was added, in which the Company must achieve a certain minimum EBITDA, as defined, target for the trailing twelve-month period, ending June 30, 2018. The end of term charge was increased from $787,500 to $1,068,750. The minimum EBITDA for each of the trailing six months and the fixed charge coverage ratio (1:1 to 0.9:1) were reduced. The Company was also required to prepay $10,000,000 in principal.

Monthly principal payments, including interest, commenced November 1, 2018 with the outstanding balance of the Senior Debt due in full on November 1, 2020. The end of term charge is being recognized as interest expense and accreted over the term of the Senior Debt using the effective interest method.

On April 13, 2020, the Company amended its loan agreement with Hercules. The amendment waived all financial covenant defaults for all periods since inception through the period ending March 31, 2020. The amendment also included the following changes:

● Removed the Adjusted EBITDA and Fixed Cost Coverage Ratio Covenants.

● Extended the maturity date from October 1, 2020 to April 2021, which can be further extendable to December 1, 2021 upon achieving the Financing Milestone, as defined in the agreement.

F-17

● Increased the cash interest rate from the greater of (a) 10.75% or (b) 10.75% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.50% to the greater of (a) 11.50% or (b) 11.50% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.25%.

● Removed the PIK interest rate.

● Removed the prepayment penalty.

The end of term charge of $1,068,750 was partially extended with $534,375 paid on October 1, 2020 and $534,375 due on February 1, 2021.

Effective September 30, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into the Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (“Third Amendment”) to provide for interest only payments commencing on October 1, 2020 and continuing through December 22, 2020 unless the Company raised net cash proceeds of at least $25 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction on or before December 21, 2020. The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P., Hercules and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow funds amounting to approximately $1.5 million, an amount equal to the aggregate of certain principal payments due under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

The Company satisfied the maturity date extension requirement pursuant to funds retained upon the closing of the Mergers in December 2020. As a result, the Senior Debt now has a maturity date of December 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

Interest expense on the Senior Debt was as follows for the periods indicated:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Interest expense for term loan	$	1,241,475	$	2,216,341

On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Promissory Note with JCP III SM AIV, L.P. (the “JCP Investor”) in the principal amount of $3.0 million (the “First Subordinated Promissory Note”). The maturity date of the First Subordinated Promissory Note was April 2, 2021 and has PIK interest that increases the outstanding principal on a daily basis at an annual rate of 20%.

On April 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Promissory Note with the JCP Investor in the principal amount of $3.0 million (the “Second Subordinated Promissory Note”).

F-18

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Promissory Note with the JCP Investor in the principal amount of $2.5 million (the “Fourth Subordinated Promissory Note”).

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Promissory Note with the JCP Investor in the principal amount of $1.5 million (the “Fifth Subordinated Promissory Note”). The maturity date of the Fifth Subordinated Promissory Note was April 2, 2021 and had PIK interest that increases the outstanding principal on a daily basis at an annual rate of 20%.

On October 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Subordinated Promissory Note with the JCP Investor in the principal amount of $1.5 million (the “Sixth Subordinated Promissory Note” and together with the First Subordinated Promissory Note, Second Subordinated Promissory Note, Third Subordinated Promissory Note, Fourth Subordinated Promissory Note, and Fifth Subordinated Promissory Note, the “Subordinated Promissory Notes”). The maturity date of the Sixth Subordinated Promissory Note was April 2, 2021 and had PIK interest that increases the outstanding principal on a daily basis at an annual rate of 20%.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement on May 17, 2020, Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP, Neurotrope and Metuchen entered into a Note Conversion and Loan Repayment Agreement pursuant to which, Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP agreed to convert all of the above outstanding subordinated promissory notes and accrued PIK interest held by Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP and the JCP Investor, into Petros common stock in connection with the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, and the Subordinated Promissory Notes were terminated. Accordingly, the principal balance of the subordinated promissory note and accrued PIK interest was $0 as of December 31, 2020.

Interest expense on this debt was $1,727,455 comprised entirely of PIK interest, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Subordinated Related Party Term Loans Entered Into Prior To 2020

On December 10, 2018, JCP III CI AIV, L.P., an affiliate of the JCP Investor, acquired from Krivulka Family LLC (“Krivulka”) all of Krivulka’s ownership interest in Metuchen Therapeutics, LLC (“MT”), a holding company that owned 55% of Metuchen, giving the JCP Investor a controlling interest in Metuchen (such transaction, the “JCP Acquisition”). Concurrently with the JCP Acquisition, the Company executed a Subordination Agreement (“Sub Debt”) with several related parties, L. Mazur Associates, JV (“LMA”), KFE, an entity controlled by Krivulka and the JCP Investor (herein referred to collectively as “the Related Holders”). On November 22, 2107, the Company and the Related Holders entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement (“Amended Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the principal balance of the Sub Debt was increased to $30,579,496. The amount due was divided 20.9%, 20.1%, and 59%, respectively, amongst LMA, KFE, and JCP. The cash interest rate of the amended sub debt was 12%. Additional PIK interest was 8% payable on the maturity date.

On December 10, 2018, as part of the acquisition accounting for JCP Acquisition of a majority ownership interest in Metuchen, the outstanding Sub Debt was determined to have a fair value that was less than its carrying value. The fair value of the subordinated related party term loans was $22,250,746 at December 10, 2018. A debt discount of $15,506,463 was recognized and was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

On December 10, 2018, the Company signed a subordinated promissory note for an additional $4,750,000 of Sub Debt from JCP. The proceeds were used for the acquisition of the Medical Device Business. The principal, along with PIK interest at an annual rate of 25%, was due on April 2, 2021.

On September 16, 2019, Metuchen entered into an Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with JCP and LMA to exchange Preferred Units and Common Units for the Sub Debt. Upon consummation of the exchange, the Preferred Units and Common Units issued were for the full satisfaction and termination of the subordinated related party term loan. As of each of December 31, 2020 and

F-19

2019, there was no outstanding principal balance or accrued interest for the subordinated related term loans. The following chart summarizes the instruments exchanged in the transaction as of September 16, 2019:

Common Units, at fair value (2,434,551.28 Units)	$	29,117,232
Preferred Units, at fair value (1,373,820.51 Units)		17,500,000
Total fair value of Preferred and Common Units exchanged		46,617,232
Sub Debt principal balance		33,250,000
Add: PIK Interest		16,544,318
Less: Debt Discount		10,486,536
Total carrying value of Sub Debt exchanged		39,307,782
Excess of fair value of Preferred and Common Units exchanged over the carrying value of Sub Debt	$	(7,309,450)

Based on ASC 470, the Company accounted for the exchange between related parties as a capital transaction. The carrying value of the subordinated related party term loans, including any accrued interest, on the date of the exchange was $39.3 million and the fair value of Preferred and Common Units was $46.6 million. As this is a capital transaction between related parties it is not appropriate to record an extinguishment loss; therefore, the company recorded the $7.3 million difference between the carrying value of the subordinated related party term loans and the fair value of the Preferred and Common Units to members’ capital. See Note 9 Members’ Capital for the determination of fair value of the Preferred and Common Units.

The Company had subordinated related party term loans which was converted into common and preferred stocks on September 16, 2019. Interest expense on this debt was $11,416,697, including PIK interest of $6,747,313 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

9)    Members’ Capital

(a)    Capitalization

Prior to September 16, 2019, The Company authorized 100 units of Class A Common Units (the “Class A Units”) to be issued and outstanding. In addition, there were Restricted Member Units (“RMU’s”) that were designated as a class of incentive units (also known as “Class B Units”).

On September 16, 2019, the Company amended and restated its operating agreement creating the rights and preferences relating to the Preferred Units and Common Units mentioned in the Private Placement Offering below. The issued and outstanding Preferred Units and Common Units were exchanged for Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Mergers.

(b)    Preferred Units

A holder of a Preferred Unit was entitled to vote on any matter requiring the approval of such units. In addition, the Preferred Unit holders were entitled to distributions, after adjustment for specific items, for each fiscal year.

The following actions required the prior consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Units: (a) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the amended and restated operating agreement (if such amendment would adversely affect any of the rights or preferences of the Preferred Units); (b) authorize or create membership interests that have a preference over the Preferred Units as to dividends or liquidation; (c) declare or pay any dividends or distributions; (d) dissolve or liquidate (in whole or in part), consolidate, merge, convey, lease, sell, or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or purchase or otherwise acquire (directly or indirectly) all or substantially all of the assets or equity interest issued by another company; or file a petition for bankruptcy or receivership of the Company; (e) repurchase or redeem any Membership Interests; or (f) enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement to do any of the foregoing. See also Note 12 Section (f) for further discussion of Preferred Units.

F-20

(c)    Common Units (formerly known as Class A Units)

A holder of a Common Unit was entitled to vote on any matter requiring the approval of such units. In addition, the Common Unit holders were entitled to distributions, after adjustment for specific items, for each fiscal year.

Effective with the amended and restated operating agreement on August 26, 2019, each Class A Unit was exchanged for 10,000 Common Units. There was no change to the ownership percentages as a result of the exchange and the rights and privileges of Common Unit holders is consistent with that of the Class A Unit.

(d)    Class B Units

As of September 16, 2019, none of the Class B Units had been issued. Effective with the amended and restated operating agreement on September 16, 2019, the Class B Units were no longer an authorized membership interest of the Company.

(e)    Liquidation

Upon liquidation of the Company or upon any Company sale, the Company was required to pay, hold, or distribute, or cause to be paid, held or distributed, the proceeds thereof as follows: (a) first, to the holders of Preferred Units, pro rata in proportion to the number of Preferred Units held by such holders, until the holders of such Preferred Units receive in respect of each Preferred Unit held by them, the preferred liquidation preference amount; (b) second, to the holders of Common Units, pro rata in proportion to the number of Common Units held by such holders, the remaining proceeds available for distribution.

(f)    Private Placement Offering

On September 16, 2019, the Company executed a Private Placement offering (“Private Placement”) with V4 Capital Partners, LLC (“Lead Investor”) and other accredited investors (collectively “Investors”). None of the Investors had previously held an interest in the Company. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company agreed to issue and sell up to $3.5 million of the Company’s Preferred Units. Each Preferred Unit had an offering price of $12.7382 per unit. The Company issued 245,933 Preferred Units related to the Private Placement and received aggregate net proceeds from the Private Placement of $2.7 million.

The Preferred Units maintained a 5% non-cumulative quarterly dividend, included one vote per unit on all matters to be voted upon by Common Unit holders and required a mandatory conversion upon the closing of a qualified public offering, with the conversion price being subject to adjustment if the price per share in the qualified public offering was less than $15.92275 per Preferred Unit. Subject to adjustment, each Preferred Unit could be converted into one Common Unit. The Preferred Units did not meet the criteria for liability classification and are classified within equity. In addition, the embedded conversion feature was considered clearly and closely related to the Preferred Units and did not require bifurcation. However, the embedded conversion feature represents a beneficial conversion feature with a relative fair value of $26,500 and has been recorded to additional paid-in capital, included within the $250,000 proceeds received related to the issuance of the lead investor warrants.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Lead Investor received warrants (“Lead Investor Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 615,838.50 shares of the Company’s Preferred Units at an exercise price of $0.01 per Preferred Unit. The Lead Investor Warrants had an expiration date of September 16, 2020. The Lead Investor Warrants were only exercisable upon a qualified public offering being consummated within one year. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the Lead Investor Warrants was estimated to be $2.1 million. To record the issuance of the Lead Investor Warrants, the Company allocated the proceeds of $250,000 received from the Lead Investor for the Preferred Units between the Lead Investor Warrants and the beneficial conversion feature for the embedded conversion option. Of the proceeds received, the relative fair value allocated to the Lead Investor Warrants was $223,500 and was included in additional paid-in capital. The Lead Investor Warrants did not meet the criteria for liability classification. In September 2020, the Company and the Lead Investor warrant holders amended the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,055,114.66 shares of the Company’s preferred units at an exercise price of $0.01 per preferred unit. The amendment also extended the expiration date to December 16, 2020. In November 2020, the Lead Investor warrant holders exercised their right to purchase 2,055,114.66 of the Company’s preferred units and the Company received $20,551 in proceeds.

The Company estimated their fair value using Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant judgments used in the valuation model included the overall likelihood of a qualified public offering occurring and Management’s estimate for the aggregate equity value,

F-21

including an estimate for the proceeds from a qualified public offering as well as giving consideration in the event the price per share in a qualified public offering is below 125% of the $12.7382 price per Preferred Unit. Also incorporated in the fair value of the Lead Investor Warrants was a risk-free rate, estimated volatility of equity and an incremental discount for lack of marketability.

Also, in connection with the Private Placement, the placement agent received warrants (“Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 10,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.7382 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants could be exercised any time on or after September 16, 2019. The Placement Agent Warrants contained an expiration date of September 16, 2024 and were converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the consummation of the Mergers. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was estimated to be $135,800 and was included in additional paid-in capital. The Placement Agent Warrants did not meet the criteria for liability classification.

The Company estimated their fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The inputs used to value the Placement Agent Warrants included the Preferred Unit Price and the Placement Agent Warrant Strike Price (both of which are $12.7382), the expiration date of the Placement Agent Warrants of September 16, 2024, the risk-free rate to the expiration date of 1.73%, and the estimated volatility over the expected term of the Placement Agent Warrants of 90.0%.

As there had been no public market for Metuchen’s Common Units, the estimated fair value of its Common Units was determined by the Board of Directors as of the Private Placement date, with input from management, considering the Company’s most recently available valuations of the aggregate equity value of the Company. In addition to considering the results of these valuations, the Company’s Board of Directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its Common and Preferred Units as of the private placement date, including the progress of the Company’s products sales, external market conditions affecting and trends within the life sciences industry and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event. The fair value of the Company’s Common Units as of the Private Placement Date was determined to be the difference between the fair value of the Company’s aggregate equity and the summation of the fair values of the Preferred Units, the Lead Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.

10)     Stockholders’ Equity

Upon consummation of the Mergers, each outstanding Common Unit or Preferred Unit of Metuchen was exchanged for a number of shares of Petros common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Petros Common Stock”), equal to 0.4968, which resulted in an aggregate of 4,949,610 shares of Petros Common Stock issued to the holders of Metuchen units in the Mergers. In addition, each holder of Neurotrope common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Neurotrope Common Stock”) received one (1) share of Petros Common Stock for every five (5) shares of Neurotrope Common Stock held, and each holder of Neurotrope preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Neurotrope Preferred Stock”) received one (1) share of Petros preferred stock (the “Petros Preferred Stock”) for every one (1) share of Neurotrope Preferred Stock held. In addition, each holder of outstanding options to purchase Neurotrope Common Stock or outstanding warrants to purchase Neurotrope Common Stock that were not previously exercised prior to the consummation of the Mergers was converted into equivalent options and warrants to purchase one (1) share of Petros Common Stock for every five (5) shares of Neurotrope Common Stock outstanding pursuant to such options or warrants.

As a result of the Mergers, the former Neurotrope shareholders collectively own approximately 4,758,045 shares of Petros Common Stock and 500 shares of Petros Preferred Stock and the former Metuchen unit holders collectively own 4,949,610 shares of Petros Common Stock. Accordingly, the former Metuchen unit holders collectively own approximately 51% of Petros and the former Neurotrope shareholders collectively own approximately 49% of Petros.

On January 26, 2021, 500 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock were converted into 60,606 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Backstop Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Neurotrope and an affiliated entity of Juggernaut Capital Partners (“Juggernaut”) entered into a Backstop Agreement pursuant to which Juggernaut agreed to contribute to Metuchen at the closing of the Mergers an amount equal to the Working Capital Shortfall Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,000,000 (the “Commitment Cap”). Following the closing of the Mergers and until the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Mergers (the “Anniversary Date”), Juggernaut agreed to contribute, or cause an affiliate to contribute, to Petros an amount equal to the Commitment Cap less the Working Capital Shortfall Amount (the “Post-Closing Commitment”) on the Anniversary Date; provided, however, that, (a) in the event that, at any time between

F-22

the closing of the Mergers and the Anniversary Date, the closing price per share of Petros’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchanges on which the Petros Common Stock is then traded equals or exceeds $2.175 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, then the Post-Closing Commitment shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) and (b) in the event that, at any time between the closing of the Mergers and the Anniversary Date, the closing price per share of Petros’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchanges on which the Petros Common Stock is then traded equals or exceeds $2.5375 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, then the Post-Closing Commitment shall be $0.

Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and upon closing of the Mergers, Juggernaut paid the Company $2.6 million for the Working Capital Shortfall Amount, which was recorded in equity in relation to the net proceeds received from the reverse capitalization.

Contingent Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each security holder of Metuchen received a right to receive such security holder’s pro rata stock of an aggregate of 14,232,090 stocks of Petros Common Stock potentially issuable upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement. The milestones are for the achievement of stock price and market capitalization, as defined over a two-year period.

Milestone Earnout Payments

In connection with the Mergers, each security holder of Metuchen received an equity classified earnout consideration to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock if the Closing Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) per share of stock of Petros’ Common Stock equals or exceeds certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement, as discussed below. Each milestone earnout payment is only achievable and payable one time and upon attainment of such milestone earnout payment. In no event will the sum of the milestone earnout payments be greater than 4,000,000 shares of Petros Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, the milestones have not been achieved.

If at any time following the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing, the Closing Price per share of Petros Common Stock is, for a period of twenty (20) trading days during any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period, greater than or equal to:

Each milestone earnout payment is only achievable and payable one time and upon attainment of such milestone. In no event will the sum of the milestone earnout payments be greater than 10,232,090 shares of Petros Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, the milestones have not been achieved.

The Company established the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Compensation plan (the “2020 Plan”) which provides for the grants of awards to our directors, officers, employees, and consultants. The 2020 Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock units and other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. As of December 31, 2020, there were 1,078,346 shares authorized and 504,015 shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.

Upon the consummation of the Mergers as disclosed in Note 1, Neurotrope options issued and outstanding as of December 1, 2020 were converted into equivalent options to purchase stocks of Petros common stock and were adjusted to give effect to the Exchange Ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Upon the consummation of the Mergers as disclosed in Note 1, the vesting of former Neurotrope stock options in accordance with their terms was accelerated due to a change in control pursuant to the terms of the Neurotrope, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and the Neurotrope, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the change in control, Neurotrope extended the period to exercise the stock options to be one-year from the closing of the Mergers.

13)    Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Upon the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been calculated on a pro forma basis using Metuchen’s historical weighted average number of common units outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio used in the reverse recapitalization. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the basic weighted average shares outstanding has been calculated using the number of common units outstanding of Metuchen from January 1, 2020 through the December 1, 2020 acquisition date multiplied by the exchange ratio used in the transaction and the number of common shares outstanding of the Company from December 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per share:

	For the Years Ended

14)   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, and for an additional $0.8 million, the Company also acquired the current Stendra® product and sample inventories as of September 30, 2016 that were owned by Vivus. 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.

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 on the effective date of the License Agreement. The Supply Agreement states that Vivus will initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2021. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the supply agreement on September 30, 2019, effective on September 30. 2021. The Company is required to make future minimum annual purchases of Stendra® under the Supply Agreement as follows (based on current prices, however, subject to annual price increases). As of December 31, 2020, the minimum purchase obligation is $4.1 million in 2021.

Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply Stendra® in excess of 120% of the quantity specified above but will use reasonable efforts.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has $14.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory. As API inventory is not a finished good, the Company does not have title to the product and classifies 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $11.1 million and $6.7 million included 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. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a reserve of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, to reduce the cost of API inventory to its net realizable value.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra of $317,875 and $550,533. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a payable for royalties of $8,728, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a receivable for royalties of $309,147, which is included in other current assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets).

On July 7, 2020, Vivus announced that it has completed the solicitation of an in-court prepackaged plan of reorganization, under which IEH Biopharma LLC will take 100% ownership of Vivus. Vivus is a specialty pharmaceutical company and the Company has a License

F-27

Agreement with Vivus for commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® as well as the Company and Vivus are parties to a Supply Agreement for which Vivus will manufacture, test and supply Stendra® to the Company. The License Agreement is a sublicense under Vivus’ license agreement with the owner of the Stendra® patent, MTPC.

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)    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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the license agreement and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid amended the license agreement for H100™ to extend the term of the license agreement for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the amendment, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020.

15)  Commitments and Contingencies

(a)    Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers and key employees that provide for, among other things, salary and performance bonuses.

In connection with entry into the Merger Agreement Amendment, Neurotrope, Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neurotrope) and Metuchen entered into an Employee Lease Agreement pursuant to which Neurotrope and Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. agreed to lease the services of Dr. Charles Ryan to Metuchen prior to the Closing. Dr. Ryan was required to devote no more than 75% of his working time performing services to Metuchen under the Employee Lease Agreement and Metuchen paid 75% of the costs associated with Dr. Ryan’s employment from the period beginning on June 1, 2020 through the Closing, including but not limited to, the costs for all compensation and benefits paid to, for or on behalf Dr. Ryan (the “Fees”). Upon consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen paid approximately $0.2 million for the Fees pursuant to the Employee Lease Agreement, which reduced the amount of cash that Petros retained following the Closing.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, on December 24, 2020, the Company and Mr. Keith Lavan entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Lavan resigned as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and agreed to serve as an advisor to the Company through December 31, 2020 (the “Separation Date”).

F-30

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Accruals	$	90,222	$	5,732
Intangible assets		(1,238,128)		(1,438,682)
Depreciation and amortization		5,661,235		—
Expenses no currently deductible		148,708		—
Net operating loss carryforwards		57,266		783
Interest expense limitation		25,547		—
Stock-based compensation		2,505,425		—
Valuation allowance		(7,250,275)		—
Total deferred tax liability	$	—	$	(1,432,167)

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance related to its deferred income tax assets by considering whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets, as it is in the opinion of management that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) will not be utilized in the foreseeable future.

The cumulative valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 is $7.3 million, which will be reduced if and when the Company determines that the deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s estimated aggregate total NOLs were $270 thousand for U.S. federal purposes with an indefinite life due to regulations set forth in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The future utilization of the NOLs are limited to 80% of taxable income.

The Company files its tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit in any taxing jurisdictions.

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations for both federal taxes and the many states in which we operate or do business in. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.

The Company records uncertain tax positions as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial statements.

17)    Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has a qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering eligible employees. Eligible employees can contribute to the defined contribution plan, subject to certain limitations, on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches up to 100% of the first 6% of each employee’s contribution and is recognized as expense in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. Employer contributions were $116,364 and $218,361 for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

F-31

18)    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, and H100™ for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. 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.

(“Petros” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became wholly owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020. On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”).

The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Metuchen was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0% of the equity securities of Petros immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of Petros are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of Petros. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020, became the Company’s historical financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Metuchen, Petros and Neurotrope, Inc, after the spin-off discussed above, from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed 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, 2020. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TIMM Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”), subsidiaries of Metuchen, as well as the accounts of Metuchen and Neurotrope, subsidiaries of Petros. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $8.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $20.1 million, including debt of $1.7 million that matures in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to common stockholders of $62.5 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and our liability due to Vivus as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. In October 2021, the Company issued 3,323,616 shares of its common stock and received $5.5 million in net proceeds. In November 2021, the Company repaid $1.2 million in full satisfaction of its senior debt (See Note 8 Debt). While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, we obtained a continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., (“the JCP Investor”) through November 16, 2022.

2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed 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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment and the determination of the fair value 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China ( “COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021 and thereafter.

F-39

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company had taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced its sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company had maintained a core sales team which continued to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. In response to the spread of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of September 30, 2021, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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 ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer have 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for sales deductions were $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, coupon redemptions and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. The Company’s estimates are based on factors such as its 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 its direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation are 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns were $3.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

F-40

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include vacuum erection devices, VenoSeal, and other related accessories. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 an observable market.

F-41

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLC”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm Medical was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

F-42

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common shares. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss applicable to common share by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common shares, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2021

In June 2016, the 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

If the Company subsequently raises the WAC, the Company will reimburse the previous owner for the difference between the current WAC and the original sale price for returns processed by the previous owner.

8)    Debt

Senior Debt

The following is a summary of the Company’s senior indebtedness at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Principal balance	$	1,740,752	$	6,653,292
Plus: End of term fee		—		534,237
Less: Debt issuance costs		—		(12,500)
Total senior debt	$	1,740,752	$	7,175,029

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), a third party, for a $35 million term loan (the “Senior Debt”). The Senior Debt includes an additional Paid-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest that increases the outstanding principal on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 1.35% and a $787,500 end of term charge. The end of term charge is being recognized as interest expense and accreted over the term of the Senior Debt using the effective interest method.

On November 22, 2017, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Debt (the “First Amendment”). A covenant was added, in which the Company may achieve a certain minimum EBITDA, as defined in the First Amendment, target for the trailing twelve-month period, ending June 30, 2018. The end of term charge was increased from $787,500 to $1,068,750. The minimum EBITDA for each of the trailing six months and the fixed charge coverage ratio were reduced from 1:1 to 0.9:1. The Company was also required to prepay $10 million in principle.

On April 13, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Debt (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment waived all financial covenant defaults for all periods since inception through the period ending March 31, 2020. The Second Amendment also included the following changes:

● Extended the maturity date from October 1, 2020, to April 2021, which can be further extendable to December 1, 2021, upon achieving the Financing Milestone, as defined in the agreement.

● Increased the cash interest rate from the greater of (a) 10.75% or (b) 10.75% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.50% to the greater of (a) 11.50% or (b) 11.50% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.25%.

F-45

● Removed the PIK interest rate.

● Removed the prepayment penalty.

The end of term charge of $1,068,750 was partially extended with $534,375 paid on October 1, 2020, and $534,375 paid on February 1, 2021.

Effective September 30, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into the Third Amendment to  the Senior Debt Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to provide for interest only payments commencing on October 1, 2020, and continuing through December 22, 2020, unless the Company raised net cash proceeds of at least $25 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction on or before December 21, 2020. The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue, and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P, an affiliate of the JCP Investor., Hercules and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow funds amounting to approximately $1.5 million, an amount equal to the aggregate of certain principal payments due under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

The Company satisfied the maturity date extension requirement pursuant to funds retained upon the closing of the Mergers in December 2020. As a result, the Senior Debt now has a maturity date of December 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

On November 3, 2021, the Company repaid $1,179,651 towards the senior debt. This payment satisfied the remaining balance of the senior debt as of that date.

Interest expense on the Senior Debt was as follows for the periods indicated:

Upon the consummation of the Mergers as disclosed in Note 1, the vesting of former Neurotrope stock options in accordance with their terms was accelerated due to a change in control pursuant to the terms of the Neurotrope, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan and the Neurotrope, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the change in control, Neurotrope extended the period to exercise the stock options to be one-year from the closing of the Mergers.

13)    Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Upon the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, has been calculated using the number of common units outstanding of Metuchen from January 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020, multiplied by the exchange ratio used in the transaction.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per share:

	For the Three Months Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

The following table summarizes the potentially dilutive securities convertible into common shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been antidilutive:

14)   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, and for an additional $0.8 million, the Company also acquired the current Stendra® product and sample inventories as of September 30, 2016, that were owned by Vivus. 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.

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.

F-53

In connection with the License Agreement, the Company and Vivus also entered into a Supply Agreement on the effective date of the License Agreement, which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. The Supply Agreement stated that Vivus would initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. In connection with the Supply Agreement , we and Vivus have been in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but we may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the Supply Agreement on September 30, 2019, which became effective on September 30, 2021.

The Company is currently negotiating with multiple contract manufacturers to manufacture and supply Stendra® and serve as potential replacements for Vivus. The Company intends to enter into a new supply agreement with one or more of these candidates in the near future and hopes to have an agreement in place by the end of the year. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into any new supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us in a timely manner. As of November 15, 2021, we believe that we have sufficient supplies of Stendra® to meet demand for the next 10 months.

Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply Stendra® in excess of 120% of the quantity specified above but will use reasonable efforts.

As of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $14.2 million of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory. As API inventory is not a finished good, the Company does not have title to the product and classifies 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 both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there was $1.3 million included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, $11.1 million is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company has not recorded any additional reserve to reduce the cost of API inventory.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $302,346 and $206,435, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $68,865 and $129,508, respectively. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had a payable for royalties of $68,865 and $8,728, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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)    Hybrid

In March 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid (the “Hybrid License”). 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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000, and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Hybrid License and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired, and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

F-54

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of $200,000, which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, and agreed to pay two (2) additional payments of $200,000 by December 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

15)  Commitments and Contingencies

(a)    Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers and key employees that provide for, among other things, salary, and performance bonuses.

In connection with entry into the First Merger Agreement Amendment, Neurotrope, Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope) and Metuchen entered into an Employee Lease Agreement pursuant to which Neurotrope and Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. agreed to lease the services of Dr. Charles Ryan to Metuchen prior to the Closing. Dr. Ryan was required to devote no more than 75% of his working time performing services to Metuchen under the Employee Lease Agreement and Metuchen paid 75% of the costs associated with Dr. Ryan’s employment from the period beginning on June 1, 2020, through the Closing, including but not limited to, the costs for all compensation and benefits paid to, for or on behalf of Dr. Ryan (the “Fees”). Upon consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen paid approximately $0.2 million for the Fees pursuant to the Employee Lease Agreement, which reduced the amount of cash that Petros retained following the Closing.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, on December 24, 2020, the Company and Mr. Keith Lavan entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Lavan resigned as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and agreed to serve as an advisor to the Company through December 31, 2020 (the “Separation Date”).

For his services as an advisor, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Lavan an amount equal to 50% of his base salary as of immediately prior to the Separation Date. The Company paid 70% of such amount on January 15, 2021, and 30% of such amount in equal installments from the Separation Date through June 30, 2021. In addition, Mr. Lavan executed a general release of liabilities in favor of the Company.

(b)    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.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer,employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

Article NINTH of our Articles of Incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

Article TENTH of our Articles of Incorporation provides that the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnified Person”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability corporation, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding.

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not

The recipients of such securities were our directors, employees or bona fide consultants and received the securities under our equity incentive plans.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from a form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities

II-8

being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-9

Exhibit 5.1

January 6, 2022

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
1185 Avenue of the Americas, 3rd Floor
New York, New York 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the date hereof, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) by the Company which registers the resale by the holders thereof of 2,391,348 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), comprised of (i) 641,406 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) that were issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 22, 2021 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), (ii) up to 1,639,942  shares of Common Stock (the “Investor Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) that were issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (iii) up to 110,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Katalyst Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of the warrants (the “Katalyst Warrants”) that were issued to Katalyst Securities LLC as part of its compensation for financial advisory services. The PIPE Shares, the Investor Warrant Shares and the Katalyst Warrant Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Securities.”

In rendering the opinions expressed herein, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, as of the date hereof (“Company Charter Documents”); (ii) the Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto; (iii) the Investor Warrants; (iv) the Katalyst Warrants; (v) a specimen of the Company’s Common Stock certificate; (vi) a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, dated as of the date hereof, and (vii) such other corporate records of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed.

As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed below, we have, without independent verification of their accuracy, relied to the extent we deemed reasonably appropriate upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in such documents, records, certificates, instruments or representations furnished or made available to us by the Company.

In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, (iv) that all agreements or instruments we have examined are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto, and (v) that all factual information on which we have relied was accurate and complete.

We have also assumed that (i) the Company will continue to be incorporated and in existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) the Registration Statement, and

any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments), will have become effective; (iii) no stop order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement or any prospectus supplement will have been issued; (iv) a prospectus properly describing the Securities offered thereby will have been delivered to the purchaser(s) of the Securities as required in accordance with applicable law; (v) all Securities will be offered, issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement; (vi) any definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Securities offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto and will be an enforceable obligation of the parties thereto; (vii) upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, there will be sufficient shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company Charter Documents and not otherwise reserved for issuance; and (viii) there will not have occurred any change in law or in the Company Charter Documents of the Company adversely affecting the Securities or the rights of the holders thereof.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the PIPE Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, (ii) the Investor Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Investor Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (iii) the Katalyst Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Katalyst Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinions expressed herein are limited exclusively to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the DGCL and such provisions of the Delaware Constitution and we have not considered, and express no opinion on, any other laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting part of such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

Nature of Operations

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became wholly owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020. On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”).

The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Metuchen was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0% of the equity securities of Petros immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of Petros are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of Petros. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020, became the Company’s historical financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Metuchen, Petros and Neurotrope, Inc, after the spin-off discussed above, from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed 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, 2020. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TIMM Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”), subsidiaries of Metuchen, as well as the accounts of Metuchen and Neurotrope, subsidiaries of Petros. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $8.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $20.1 million, including debt of $1.7 million that matures in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to common stockholders of $62.5 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and our liability due to Vivus as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. In October 2021, the Company issued 3,323,616 shares of its common stock and received $5.5 million in net proceeds. In November 2021, the Company repaid $1.2 million in full satisfaction of its senior debt (See Note 8 Debt). While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, we obtained a continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., (“the JCP Investor”) through November 16, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed 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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment and the determination of the fair value 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China ( “COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021 and thereafter.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company had taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced its sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company had maintained a core sales team which continued to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. In response to the spread of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of September 30, 2021, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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 ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer have 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for sales deductions were $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, coupon redemptions and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. The Company’s estimates are based on factors such as its 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 its direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation are 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns were $3.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include vacuum erection devices, VenoSeal, and other related accessories. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 an observable market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLC”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm Medical was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common shares. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss applicable to common share by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common shares, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2021

In June 2016, the 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment, and the allocation of the purchase price in acquisitions. 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to rapidly evolve, “shelter in place” orders and other public health guidance measures were implemented across much of the United States, Europe and Asia, including in the locations of the Company’s offices, key vendors and partners. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy. At this time, the future trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak remains uncertain, both in the United States and in other markets. While the Company anticipates that currently available vaccines will be widely distributed in the future, the timing and efficacy of such vaccines are uncertain. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians have prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company has taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced our sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company has maintained a core sales team which continues to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. The Company anticipates rehiring and/or assigning representatives to cover sales territories as states reopen and physician access resumes new normal levels. In response to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of December 31, 2020, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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, may be in excess of insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

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, and H100™ for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 18 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 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserves for sales deductions were $8.6 million and $12.0 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserves for product returns were $7.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include Vacuum Erection Devices, PreBoost, VenoSeal, penile injections (Rx), and urinary tract infection tests. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, distribution service fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts. See Note 3 Accounts, Receivable, net.

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. See Note 4 Inventories.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life that 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 review the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives, or 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.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy, as well as its potential impact to the Company’s business operations and cash flows, the Company constituted the COVID-19 outbreak as a triggering event requiring an impairment test for its long-lived assets with finite useful lives. The Company’s projections included the undiscounted cash flows of the remaining estimated useful lives for the Stendra product through December 2028 and December 2030 for the medical device products. Based on the impairment assessment as of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment occurred as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the respective carrying values of the assets. The Company did not record any impairments of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually in December of each year in connection with the annual budgeting and forecast process and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we may first perform an assessment qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, referred to as a “step zero” approach. Subsequently (if necessary after step zero), an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. This quantitative impairment test uses a combination of the income method and guideline public company comparable companies. The income method is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses significant assumptions of projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates and the cost of capital. Under Topic 350, goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value. The Company incurred a goodwill impairment loss of $2,443,930 during the year ended December 31, 2019, related to the prescription medications segment.

Balance, December 31, 2018	$	2,443,930
Impairment loss		(2,443,930)
Balance, December 31, 2019	$	—

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture and fixtures. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The Company uses an estimated useful life of 7 years for furniture and fixtures. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $10,220 and $1,703, respectively.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Topic 842 requires organizations to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and

to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component for all leases.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets whereas operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applies this policy to all underlying asset categories.

Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

See Note 2 and Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of December 31, 2020 approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of the closing of the Merger and December 31, 2020 was $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred to issue debt are deferred and presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.

Related amortization expense is recorded as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Costs of Equity Transactions

Incremental direct costs incurred to issue stocks of the Company’s preferred and common stocks are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLCs”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Following the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen is treated as a disregarded entity (“SMLLC”) for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations of Metuchen are reported on the members’ income tax returns through the period in which the Merger was transacted. Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted and signed into law, and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The CARES Act, among other things, includes changes to the tax provisions that benefits business entities and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, permitting net operating losses, or NOLs, carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act provides other reliefs and stimulus measures. We have evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and do not expect that any provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us or have a material impact on our financial statements or internal controls over financial reporting.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to various patent challenges, product liability claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping Costs

The Company records the costs of shipping related to prescription medication sales in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. There were no shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Shipping costs related to medical devices are recorded as revenue and subsequently deducted as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $108,870 and $130,242 respectively.

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 common stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the 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 stock of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3

fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company for the annual periods and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for both private and public entities. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and its impact was not material.

Pending Adoption as of December 31, 2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The following is a summary of the Company’s senior indebtedness at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020:

	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Principal balance	$	1,740,752	$	6,653,292
Plus: End of term fee		—		534,237
Less: Debt issuance costs		—		(12,500)
Total senior debt	$	1,740,752	$	7,175,029

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), a third party, for a $35 million term loan (the “Senior Debt”). The Senior Debt includes an additional Paid-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest that increases the outstanding principal on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 1.35% and a $787,500 end of term charge. The end of term charge is being recognized as interest expense and accreted over the term of the Senior Debt using the effective interest method.

On November 22, 2017, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Debt (the “First Amendment”). A covenant was added, in which the Company may achieve a certain minimum EBITDA, as defined in the First Amendment, target for the trailing twelve-month period, ending June 30, 2018. The end of term charge was increased from $787,500 to $1,068,750. The minimum EBITDA for each of the trailing six months and the fixed charge coverage ratio were reduced from 1:1 to 0.9:1. The Company was also required to prepay $10 million in principle.

On April 13, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Debt (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment waived all financial covenant defaults for all periods since inception through the period ending March 31, 2020. The Second Amendment also included the following changes:

● Extended the maturity date from October 1, 2020, to April 2021, which can be further extendable to December 1, 2021, upon achieving the Financing Milestone, as defined in the agreement.

● Increased the cash interest rate from the greater of (a) 10.75% or (b) 10.75% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.50% to the greater of (a) 11.50% or (b) 11.50% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.25%.

● Removed the PIK interest rate.

● Removed the prepayment penalty.

The end of term charge of $1,068,750 was partially extended with $534,375 paid on October 1, 2020, and $534,375 paid on February 1, 2021.

Effective September 30, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into the Third Amendment to  the Senior Debt Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to provide for interest only payments commencing on October 1, 2020, and continuing through December 22, 2020, unless the Company raised net cash proceeds of at least $25 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction on or before December 21, 2020. The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue, and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P, an affiliate of the JCP Investor., Hercules and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow funds amounting to approximately $1.5 million, an amount equal to the aggregate of certain principal payments due under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

The Company satisfied the maturity date extension requirement pursuant to funds retained upon the closing of the Mergers in December 2020. As a result, the Senior Debt now has a maturity date of December 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

On November 3, 2021, the Company repaid $1,179,651 towards the senior debt. This payment satisfied the remaining balance of the senior debt as of that date.

Interest expense on the Senior Debt was as follows for the periods indicated:

The maturity date of the Subordinated Promissory Notes was April 2, 2021, and they had PIK interest that increased the outstanding principal on a daily basis at an annual rate of 20%.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement on May 17, 2020, the JCP Investor, Neurotrope and Metuchen entered into a Note Conversion and Loan Repayment Agreement pursuant to which, the JCP Investor agreed to convert all of the above outstanding subordinated promissory notes and accrued PIK interest held by Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP and the JCP Investor, into Petros common stock in connection with the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, and the Subordinated Promissory Notes were terminated. Accordingly, the principal balance of the Subordinated Promissory Notes and accrued PIK interest was $0 as of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement on May 17, 2020, Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP, Neurotrope and Metuchen entered into a Note Conversion and Loan Repayment Agreement pursuant to which, Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP agreed to convert all of the above outstanding subordinated promissory notes and accrued PIK interest held by Juggernaut Capital Partners LLP and the JCP Investor, into Petros common stock in connection with the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, and the Subordinated Promissory Notes were terminated. Accordingly, the principal balance of the subordinated promissory note and accrued PIK interest was $0 as of December 31, 2020.

Interest expense on this debt was $1,727,455 comprised entirely of PIK interest, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Subordinated Related Party Term Loans Entered Into Prior To 2020

On December 10, 2018, JCP III CI AIV, L.P., an affiliate of the JCP Investor, acquired from Krivulka Family LLC (“Krivulka”) all of Krivulka’s ownership interest in Metuchen Therapeutics, LLC (“MT”), a holding company that owned 55% of Metuchen, giving the JCP Investor a controlling interest in Metuchen (such transaction, the “JCP Acquisition”). Concurrently with the JCP Acquisition, the Company executed a Subordination Agreement (“Sub Debt”) with several related parties, L. Mazur Associates, JV (“LMA”), KFE, an entity controlled by Krivulka and the JCP Investor (herein referred to collectively as “the Related Holders”). On November 22, 2107, the Company and the Related Holders entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement (“Amended Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the principal balance of the Sub Debt was increased to $30,579,496. The amount due was divided 20.9%, 20.1%, and 59%, respectively, amongst LMA, KFE, and JCP. The cash interest rate of the amended sub debt was 12%. Additional PIK interest was 8% payable on the maturity date.

On December 10, 2018, as part of the acquisition accounting for JCP Acquisition of a majority ownership interest in Metuchen, the outstanding Sub Debt was determined to have a fair value that was less than its carrying value. The fair value of the subordinated related party term loans was $22,250,746 at December 10, 2018. A debt discount of $15,506,463 was recognized and was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

On December 10, 2018, the Company signed a subordinated promissory note for an additional $4,750,000 of Sub Debt from JCP. The proceeds were used for the acquisition of the Medical Device Business. The principal, along with PIK interest at an annual rate of 25%, was due on April 2, 2021.

On September 16, 2019, Metuchen entered into an Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with JCP and LMA to exchange Preferred Units and Common Units for the Sub Debt. Upon consummation of the exchange, the Preferred Units and Common Units issued were for the full satisfaction and termination of the subordinated related party term loan. As of each of December 31, 2020 and

2019, there was no outstanding principal balance or accrued interest for the subordinated related term loans. The following chart summarizes the instruments exchanged in the transaction as of September 16, 2019:

Common Units, at fair value (2,434,551.28 Units)	$	29,117,232
Preferred Units, at fair value (1,373,820.51 Units)		17,500,000
Total fair value of Preferred and Common Units exchanged		46,617,232
Sub Debt principal balance		33,250,000
Add: PIK Interest		16,544,318
Less: Debt Discount		10,486,536
Total carrying value of Sub Debt exchanged		39,307,782
Excess of fair value of Preferred and Common Units exchanged over the carrying value of Sub Debt	$	(7,309,450)

Based on ASC 470, the Company accounted for the exchange between related parties as a capital transaction. The carrying value of the subordinated related party term loans, including any accrued interest, on the date of the exchange was $39.3 million and the fair value of Preferred and Common Units was $46.6 million. As this is a capital transaction between related parties it is not appropriate to record an extinguishment loss; therefore, the company recorded the $7.3 million difference between the carrying value of the subordinated related party term loans and the fair value of the Preferred and Common Units to members’ capital. See Note 9 Members’ Capital for the determination of fair value of the Preferred and Common Units.

The Company had subordinated related party term loans which was converted into common and preferred stocks on September 16, 2019. Interest expense on this debt was $11,416,697, including PIK interest of $6,747,313 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(f)    Private Placement Offering

On September 16, 2019, the Company executed a Private Placement offering (“Private Placement”) with V4 Capital Partners, LLC (“Lead Investor”) and other accredited investors (collectively “Investors”). None of the Investors had previously held an interest in the Company. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company agreed to issue and sell up to $3.5 million of the Company’s Preferred Units. Each Preferred Unit had an offering price of $12.7382 per unit. The Company issued 245,933 Preferred Units related to the Private Placement and received aggregate net proceeds from the Private Placement of $2.7 million.

The Preferred Units maintained a 5% non-cumulative quarterly dividend, included one vote per unit on all matters to be voted upon by Common Unit holders and required a mandatory conversion upon the closing of a qualified public offering, with the conversion price being subject to adjustment if the price per share in the qualified public offering was less than $15.92275 per Preferred Unit. Subject to adjustment, each Preferred Unit could be converted into one Common Unit. The Preferred Units did not meet the criteria for liability classification and are classified within equity. In addition, the embedded conversion feature was considered clearly and closely related to the Preferred Units and did not require bifurcation. However, the embedded conversion feature represents a beneficial conversion feature with a relative fair value of $26,500 and has been recorded to additional paid-in capital, included within the $250,000 proceeds received related to the issuance of the lead investor warrants.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Lead Investor received warrants (“Lead Investor Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 615,838.50 shares of the Company’s Preferred Units at an exercise price of $0.01 per Preferred Unit. The Lead Investor Warrants had an expiration date of September 16, 2020. The Lead Investor Warrants were only exercisable upon a qualified public offering being consummated within one year. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the Lead Investor Warrants was estimated to be $2.1 million. To record the issuance of the Lead Investor Warrants, the Company allocated the proceeds of $250,000 received from the Lead Investor for the Preferred Units between the Lead Investor Warrants and the beneficial conversion feature for the embedded conversion option. Of the proceeds received, the relative fair value allocated to the Lead Investor Warrants was $223,500 and was included in additional paid-in capital. The Lead Investor Warrants did not meet the criteria for liability classification. In September 2020, the Company and the Lead Investor warrant holders amended the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,055,114.66 shares of the Company’s preferred units at an exercise price of $0.01 per preferred unit. The amendment also extended the expiration date to December 16, 2020. In November 2020, the Lead Investor warrant holders exercised their right to purchase 2,055,114.66 of the Company’s preferred units and the Company received $20,551 in proceeds.

The Company estimated their fair value using Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant judgments used in the valuation model included the overall likelihood of a qualified public offering occurring and Management’s estimate for the aggregate equity value,

including an estimate for the proceeds from a qualified public offering as well as giving consideration in the event the price per share in a qualified public offering is below 125% of the $12.7382 price per Preferred Unit. Also incorporated in the fair value of the Lead Investor Warrants was a risk-free rate, estimated volatility of equity and an incremental discount for lack of marketability.

Also, in connection with the Private Placement, the placement agent received warrants (“Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 10,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.7382 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants could be exercised any time on or after September 16, 2019. The Placement Agent Warrants contained an expiration date of September 16, 2024 and were converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the consummation of the Mergers. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was estimated to be $135,800 and was included in additional paid-in capital. The Placement Agent Warrants did not meet the criteria for liability classification.

The Company estimated their fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The inputs used to value the Placement Agent Warrants included the Preferred Unit Price and the Placement Agent Warrant Strike Price (both of which are $12.7382), the expiration date of the Placement Agent Warrants of September 16, 2024, the risk-free rate to the expiration date of 1.73%, and the estimated volatility over the expected term of the Placement Agent Warrants of 90.0%.

As there had been no public market for Metuchen’s Common Units, the estimated fair value of its Common Units was determined by the Board of Directors as of the Private Placement date, with input from management, considering the Company’s most recently available valuations of the aggregate equity value of the Company. In addition to considering the results of these valuations, the Company’s Board of Directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its Common and Preferred Units as of the private placement date, including the progress of the Company’s products sales, external market conditions affecting and trends within the life sciences industry and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event. The fair value of the Company’s Common Units as of the Private Placement Date was determined to be the difference between the fair value of the Company’s aggregate equity and the summation of the fair values of the Preferred Units, the Lead Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.

Upon consummation of the Mergers, each outstanding Common Unit or Preferred Unit of Metuchen was exchanged for a number of shares of Petros common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Petros Common Stock”), equal to 0.4968, which resulted in an aggregate of 4,949,610 shares of Petros Common Stock issued to the holders of Metuchen units in the Mergers. In addition, each holder of Neurotrope common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Neurotrope Common Stock”) received one (1) share of Petros Common Stock for every five (5) shares of Neurotrope Common Stock held, and each holder of Neurotrope preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Neurotrope Preferred Stock”) received one (1) share of Petros preferred stock (the “Petros Preferred Stock”) for every one (1) share of Neurotrope Preferred Stock held. In addition, each holder of outstanding options to purchase Neurotrope Common Stock or outstanding warrants to purchase Neurotrope Common Stock that were not previously exercised prior to the consummation of the Mergers was converted into equivalent options and warrants to purchase one (1) share of Petros Common Stock for every five (5) shares of Neurotrope Common Stock outstanding pursuant to such options or warrants.

As a result of the Mergers, the former Neurotrope shareholders collectively own approximately 4,758,045 shares of Petros Common Stock and 500 shares of Petros Preferred Stock and the former Metuchen unit holders collectively own 4,949,610 shares of Petros Common Stock. Accordingly, the former Metuchen unit holders collectively own approximately 51% of Petros and the former Neurotrope shareholders collectively own approximately 49% of Petros.

On January 26, 2021, 500 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock were converted into 60,606 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Backstop Agreement

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Neurotrope and an affiliated entity of Juggernaut Capital Partners (“Juggernaut”) entered into a Backstop Agreement pursuant to which Juggernaut agreed to contribute to Metuchen at the closing of the Mergers an amount equal to the Working Capital Shortfall Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,000,000 (the “Commitment Cap”). Following the closing of the Mergers and until the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Mergers (the “Anniversary Date”), Juggernaut agreed to contribute, or cause an affiliate to contribute, to Petros an amount equal to the Commitment Cap less the Working Capital Shortfall Amount (the “Post-Closing Commitment”) on the Anniversary Date; provided, however, that, (a) in the event that, at any time between

the closing of the Mergers and the Anniversary Date, the closing price per share of Petros’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchanges on which the Petros Common Stock is then traded equals or exceeds $2.175 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, then the Post-Closing Commitment shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%) and (b) in the event that, at any time between the closing of the Mergers and the Anniversary Date, the closing price per share of Petros’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchanges on which the Petros Common Stock is then traded equals or exceeds $2.5375 for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, then the Post-Closing Commitment shall be $0.

Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and upon closing of the Mergers, Juggernaut paid the Company $2.6 million for the Working Capital Shortfall Amount, which was recorded in equity in relation to the net proceeds received from the reverse capitalization.

Contingent Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each security holder of Metuchen received a right to receive such security holder’s pro rata stock of an aggregate of 14,232,090 stocks of Petros Common Stock potentially issuable upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement. The milestones are for the achievement of stock price and market capitalization, as defined over a two-year period.

Milestone Earnout Payments

In connection with the Mergers, each security holder of Metuchen received an equity classified earnout consideration to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock if the Closing Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) per share of stock of Petros’ Common Stock equals or exceeds certain milestones set forth in the Merger Agreement, as discussed below. Each milestone earnout payment is only achievable and payable one time and upon attainment of such milestone earnout payment. In no event will the sum of the milestone earnout payments be greater than 4,000,000 shares of Petros Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, the milestones have not been achieved.

If at any time following the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and prior to the one-year anniversary of the Closing, the Closing Price per share of Petros Common Stock is, for a period of twenty (20) trading days during any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period, greater than or equal to:

(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, and for an additional $0.8 million, the Company also acquired the current Stendra® product and sample inventories as of September 30, 2016, that were owned by Vivus. 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.

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 on the effective date of the License Agreement, which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. The Supply Agreement stated that Vivus would initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. In connection with the Supply Agreement , we and Vivus have been in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but we may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the Supply Agreement on September 30, 2019, which became effective on September 30, 2021.

The Company is currently negotiating with multiple contract manufacturers to manufacture and supply Stendra® and serve as potential replacements for Vivus. The Company intends to enter into a new supply agreement with one or more of these candidates in the near future and hopes to have an agreement in place by the end of the year. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into any new supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us in a timely manner. As of November 15, 2021, we believe that we have sufficient supplies of Stendra® to meet demand for the next 10 months.

Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply Stendra® in excess of 120% of the quantity specified above but will use reasonable efforts.

As of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $14.2 million of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory. As API inventory is not a finished good, the Company does not have title to the product and classifies 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 both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there was $1.3 million included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, $11.1 million is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company has not recorded any additional reserve to reduce the cost of API inventory.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $302,346 and $206,435, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $68,865 and $129,508, respectively. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had a payable for royalties of $68,865 and $8,728, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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)    Hybrid

In March 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid (the “Hybrid License”). 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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000, and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Hybrid License and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired, and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of $200,000, which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, and agreed to pay two (2) additional payments of $200,000 by December 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

14)   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, and for an additional $0.8 million, the Company also acquired the current Stendra® product and sample inventories as of September 30, 2016 that were owned by Vivus. 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.

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 on the effective date of the License Agreement. The Supply Agreement states that Vivus will initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2021. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the supply agreement on September 30, 2019, effective on September 30. 2021. The Company is required to make future minimum annual purchases of Stendra® under the Supply Agreement as follows (based on current prices, however, subject to annual price increases). As of December 31, 2020, the minimum purchase obligation is $4.1 million in 2021.

Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply Stendra® in excess of 120% of the quantity specified above but will use reasonable efforts.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has $14.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory. As API inventory is not a finished good, the Company does not have title to the product and classifies 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $11.1 million and $6.7 million included 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. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a reserve of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, to reduce the cost of API inventory to its net realizable value.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra of $317,875 and $550,533. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a payable for royalties of $8,728, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a receivable for royalties of $309,147, which is included in other current assets in prepaid expenses and other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets).

On July 7, 2020, Vivus announced that it has completed the solicitation of an in-court prepackaged plan of reorganization, under which IEH Biopharma LLC will take 100% ownership of Vivus. Vivus is a specialty pharmaceutical company and the Company has a License

Agreement with Vivus for commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® as well as the Company and Vivus are parties to a Supply Agreement for which Vivus will manufacture, test and supply Stendra® to the Company. The License Agreement is a sublicense under Vivus’ license agreement with the owner of the Stendra® patent, MTPC.

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)    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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the license agreement and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid amended the license agreement for H100™ to extend the term of the license agreement for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the amendment, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020.

Effective income tax rate	6.44	%	1.95	%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Accruals	$	90,222	$	5,732
Intangible assets		(1,238,128)		(1,438,682)

Stock-based compensation		2,505,425		—
Valuation allowance		(7,250,275)		—
Total deferred tax liability	$	—	$	(1,432,167)

The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance related to its deferred income tax assets by considering whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets, as it is in the opinion of management that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) will not be utilized in the foreseeable future.

The cumulative valuation allowance as of December 31, 2020 is $7.3 million, which will be reduced if and when the Company determines that the deferred income tax assets are more likely than not to be realized.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s estimated aggregate total NOLs were $270 thousand for U.S. federal purposes with an indefinite life due to regulations set forth in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The future utilization of the NOLs are limited to 80% of taxable income.

The Company files its tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under audit in any taxing jurisdictions.

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations for both federal taxes and the many states in which we operate or do business in. ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, on the basis of the technical merits.

The Company records uncertain tax positions as liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions in its consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed 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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment and the determination of the fair value of the derivative liability, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Such estimates include the adequacy of accounts receivable reserves, return reserves, inventory reserves, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment, and the allocation of the purchase price in acquisitions. 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to rapidly evolve, “shelter in place” orders and other public health guidance measures were implemented across much of the United States, Europe and Asia, including in the locations of the Company’s offices, key vendors and partners. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy. At this time, the future trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak remains uncertain, both in the United States and in other markets. While the Company anticipates that currently available vaccines will be widely distributed in the future, the timing and efficacy of such vaccines are uncertain. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians have prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company has taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced our sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company has maintained a core sales team which continues to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. The Company anticipates rehiring and/or assigning representatives to cover sales territories as states reopen and physician access resumes new normal levels. In response to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of December 31, 2020, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

Concentration of Credit Risk

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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China ( “COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021 and thereafter.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company had taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced its sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company had maintained a core sales team which continued to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. In response to the spread of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of September 30, 2021, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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, may be in excess of insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

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, and H100™ for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 18 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 ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer have 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for sales deductions were $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, coupon redemptions and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. The Company’s estimates are based on factors such as its 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 its direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation are 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns were $3.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include vacuum erection devices, VenoSeal, and other related accessories. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, distribution service fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts. See Note 3 Accounts, Receivable, net.

Inventories

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. See Note 4 Inventories.

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 that 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 review the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives, or 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.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy, as well as its potential impact to the Company’s business operations and cash flows, the Company constituted the COVID-19 outbreak as a triggering event requiring an impairment test for its long-lived assets with finite useful lives. The Company’s projections included the undiscounted cash flows of the remaining estimated useful lives for the Stendra product through December 2028 and December 2030 for the medical device products. Based on the impairment assessment as of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment occurred as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the respective carrying values of the assets. The Company did not record any impairments of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually in December of each year in connection with the annual budgeting and forecast process and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we may first perform an assessment qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, referred to as a “step zero” approach. Subsequently (if necessary after step zero), an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. This quantitative impairment test uses a combination of the income method and guideline public company comparable companies. The income method is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses significant assumptions of projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates and the cost of capital. Under Topic 350, goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value. The Company incurred a goodwill impairment loss of $2,443,930 during the year ended December 31, 2019, related to the prescription medications segment.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture and fixtures. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The Company uses an estimated useful life of 7 years for furniture and fixtures. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $10,220 and $1,703, respectively.

Leases

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Topic 842 requires organizations to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and

to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component for all leases.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets whereas operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applies this policy to all underlying asset categories.

Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

See Note 2 and Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 an observable market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred to issue debt are deferred and presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.

Related amortization expense is recorded as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Costs of Equity Transactions

Costs of Equity Transactions

Incremental direct costs incurred to issue stocks of the Company’s preferred and common stocks are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLC”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm Medical was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted and signed into law, and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The CARES Act, among other things, includes changes to the tax provisions that benefits business entities and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, permitting net operating losses, or NOLs, carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act provides other reliefs and stimulus measures. We have evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and do not expect that any provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us or have a material impact on our financial statements or internal controls over financial reporting.

Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to various patent challenges, product liability claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping Costs

Shipping Costs

The Company records the costs of shipping related to prescription medication sales in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. There were no shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Shipping costs related to medical devices are recorded as revenue and subsequently deducted as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $108,870 and $130,242 respectively.

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 common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common shares. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss applicable to common share by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common shares, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

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 stock of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2021

In June 2016, the 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3

fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company for the annual periods and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for both private and public entities. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and its impact was not material.

Nature of Operations

Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petros” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 14, 2020 for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2020 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), by and between Petros, Neurotrope, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Neurotrope”), PM Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 1”), PN Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petros (“Merger Sub 2”), and Metuchen Pharmaceuticals LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Metuchen”). On July 23, 2020, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “First Merger Agreement Amendment”) and on September 30, 2020, the parties to the Original Merger Agreement entered into the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Second Merger Agreement Amendment” and, together with the Original Merger Agreement and the First Merger Agreement Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided for (1) the merger of Merger Sub 1, with and into Metuchen, with Metuchen surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Metuchen Merger”) and (2) the merger of Merger Sub 2 with and into Neurotrope, with Neurotrope surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Petros (the “Neurotrope Merger” and together with the Metuchen Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, Metuchen and Neurotrope became wholly owned subsidiaries of Petros, and Petros became a publicly traded corporation on December 1, 2020. On December 7, 2020, Neurotrope completed the spin-off of certain assets, whereby (i) any cash in excess of $20,000,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement, and all of the operating assets and liabilities of Neurotrope not retained by Neurotrope in connection with the Mergers were contributed to Synaptogenix, Inc. (formerly known as Neurotrope Bioscience, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Neurotrope prior to the spin-off), a Delaware corporation (“Synaptogenix”).

The Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Metuchen was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and the facts and circumstances specific to the Mergers, including: (1) Metuchen Securityholders owned approximately 51.0% of the equity securities of Petros immediately following the closing of the transaction; (2) a majority of the board of directors of Petros are composed of directors designated by Metuchen under the terms of the Mergers; and (3) a majority of the existing members of Metuchen’s management are the management of Petros. The net assets of Metuchen are stated at historical costs in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Metuchen through November 30, 2020, became the Company’s historical financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Metuchen, Petros and Neurotrope, Inc, after the spin-off discussed above, from December 1, 2020, the date the reverse recapitalization was consummated.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020, has been derived from audited financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed 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, 2020. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TIMM Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Timm Medical”), and Pos-T-Vac, LLC (“PTV”), subsidiaries of Metuchen, as well as the accounts of Metuchen and Neurotrope, subsidiaries of Petros. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Liquidity

The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash of $8.1 million, negative working capital of approximately $20.1 million, including debt of $1.7 million that matures in 2021, and sustained cumulative losses attributable to common stockholders of $62.5 million. Our plans include, or may include, utilizing our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and our liability due to Vivus as well as exploring additional ways to raise capital in addition to increasing cash flows from operations. In October 2021, the Company issued 3,323,616 shares of its common stock and received $5.5 million in net proceeds. In November 2021, the Company repaid $1.2 million in full satisfaction of its senior debt (See Note 8 Debt). While we are optimistic that we will be successful in our efforts to achieve our plan, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in doing so. As such, we obtained a continued support letter from our largest shareholder, JCP III SM AIV, L.P., (“the JCP Investor”) through November 16, 2022.

2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed 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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment and the determination of the fair value 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China ( “COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021 and thereafter.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company had taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced its sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company had maintained a core sales team which continued to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. In response to the spread of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of September 30, 2021, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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 ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer have 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for sales deductions were $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, coupon redemptions and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. The Company’s estimates are based on factors such as its 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 its direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation are 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns were $3.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include vacuum erection devices, VenoSeal, and other related accessories. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 an observable market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLC”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm Medical was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common shares. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss applicable to common share by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common shares, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2021

In June 2016, the 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment, and the allocation of the purchase price in acquisitions. 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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to rapidly evolve, “shelter in place” orders and other public health guidance measures were implemented across much of the United States, Europe and Asia, including in the locations of the Company’s offices, key vendors and partners. The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S. and globally as federal, state and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the economy. At this time, the future trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak remains uncertain, both in the United States and in other markets. While the Company anticipates that currently available vaccines will be widely distributed in the future, the timing and efficacy of such vaccines are uncertain. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 outbreak will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians have prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company has taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced our sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company has maintained a core sales team which continues to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. The Company anticipates rehiring and/or assigning representatives to cover sales territories as states reopen and physician access resumes new normal levels. In response to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of December 31, 2020, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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, may be in excess of insured limits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments that have maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

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, and H100™ for the treatment of Peyronie’s disease. The Medical Devices segment consists primarily of operations related to vacuum erection devices, which are sold domestically and internationally. See Note 18 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 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserves for sales deductions were $8.6 million and $12.0 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, the reserves for product returns were $7.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include Vacuum Erection Devices, PreBoost, VenoSeal, penile injections (Rx), and urinary tract infection tests. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of chargebacks, distribution service fees, and cash discounts. Management determines each allowance based on historical experience along with the present knowledge of potentially uncollectible accounts. See Note 3 Accounts, Receivable, net.

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. See Note 4 Inventories.

Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for recognized intangible assets at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over the useful life that 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 review the carrying value and useful lives of its intangible assets with definite lives, or 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.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global economy, as well as its potential impact to the Company’s business operations and cash flows, the Company constituted the COVID-19 outbreak as a triggering event requiring an impairment test for its long-lived assets with finite useful lives. The Company’s projections included the undiscounted cash flows of the remaining estimated useful lives for the Stendra product through December 2028 and December 2030 for the medical device products. Based on the impairment assessment as of December 31, 2020, the Company determined that no intangible asset impairment occurred as the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the respective carrying values of the assets. The Company did not record any impairments of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually in December of each year in connection with the annual budgeting and forecast process and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, we may first perform an assessment qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, referred to as a “step zero” approach. Subsequently (if necessary after step zero), an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. This quantitative impairment test uses a combination of the income method and guideline public company comparable companies. The income method is based on a discounted future cash flow approach that uses significant assumptions of projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates and the cost of capital. Under Topic 350, goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value. The Company incurred a goodwill impairment loss of $2,443,930 during the year ended December 31, 2019, related to the prescription medications segment.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets consist of furniture and fixtures. Furniture and fixtures are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The Company uses an estimated useful life of 7 years for furniture and fixtures. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $10,220 and $1,703, respectively.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842. Topic 842 requires organizations to recognize leased assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard also requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and

to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, which the Company accounts for as a single lease component for all leases.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are included in other assets whereas operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments.

Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments for operating leases.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company applies this policy to all underlying asset categories.

Topic 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor.

See Note 2 and Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of December 31, 2020 approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of the closing of the Merger and December 31, 2020 was $8.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred to issue debt are deferred and presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.

Related amortization expense is recorded as a component of interest expense over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Costs of Equity Transactions

Incremental direct costs incurred to issue stocks of the Company’s preferred and common stocks are recorded as a reduction of the related proceeds.

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLCs”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Following the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen is treated as a disregarded entity (“SMLLC”) for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations of Metuchen are reported on the members’ income tax returns through the period in which the Merger was transacted. Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted and signed into law, and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The CARES Act, among other things, includes changes to the tax provisions that benefits business entities and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, permitting net operating losses, or NOLs, carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act provides other reliefs and stimulus measures. We have evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and do not expect that any provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us or have a material impact on our financial statements or internal controls over financial reporting.

Contingencies

The Company may be subject to various patent challenges, product liability claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping Costs

The Company records the costs of shipping related to prescription medication sales in general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of operations. There were no shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Shipping costs related to medical devices are recorded as revenue and subsequently deducted as a component of cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping costs for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $108,870 and $130,242 respectively.

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 common stocks outstanding during the period, excluding the 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 stock of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3

fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company for the annual periods and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for both private and public entities. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and its impact was not material.

Pending Adoption as of December 31, 2020

In June 2016, the FASB issued 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The following is a summary of the Company’s senior indebtedness at September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020:

Principal balance	$	1,740,752	$	6,653,292
Plus: End of term fee		—		534,237
Less: Debt issuance costs		—		(12,500)
Total senior debt	$	1,740,752	$	7,175,029

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. (“Hercules”), a third party, for a $35 million term loan (the “Senior Debt”). The Senior Debt includes an additional Paid-In-Kind (“PIK”) interest that increases the outstanding principal on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 1.35% and a $787,500 end of term charge. The end of term charge is being recognized as interest expense and accreted over the term of the Senior Debt using the effective interest method.

On November 22, 2017, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Debt (the “First Amendment”). A covenant was added, in which the Company may achieve a certain minimum EBITDA, as defined in the First Amendment, target for the trailing twelve-month period, ending June 30, 2018. The end of term charge was increased from $787,500 to $1,068,750. The minimum EBITDA for each of the trailing six months and the fixed charge coverage ratio were reduced from 1:1 to 0.9:1. The Company was also required to prepay $10 million in principle.

On April 13, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Debt (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment waived all financial covenant defaults for all periods since inception through the period ending March 31, 2020. The Second Amendment also included the following changes:

● Extended the maturity date from October 1, 2020, to April 2021, which can be further extendable to December 1, 2021, upon achieving the Financing Milestone, as defined in the agreement.

● Increased the cash interest rate from the greater of (a) 10.75% or (b) 10.75% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.50% to the greater of (a) 11.50% or (b) 11.50% plus the US WSJ Prime minus 4.25%.

● Removed the PIK interest rate.

● Removed the prepayment penalty.

The end of term charge of $1,068,750 was partially extended with $534,375 paid on October 1, 2020, and $534,375 paid on February 1, 2021.

Effective September 30, 2020, the Company and Hercules entered into the Third Amendment to  the Senior Debt Loan and Security Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to provide for interest only payments commencing on October 1, 2020, and continuing through December 22, 2020, unless the Company raised net cash proceeds of at least $25 million through an equity or debt financing or other transaction on or before December 21, 2020. The Third Amendment also amended the minimum cash, minimum net revenue, and minimum EBITDA financial covenants. On that same date, Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P, an affiliate of the JCP Investor., Hercules and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) to escrow funds amounting to approximately $1.5 million, an amount equal to the aggregate of certain principal payments due under the Loan Agreement, as amended. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, the funds held in escrow were disbursed back to Juggernaut Capital Partners III, L.P. and the Escrow Agreement was terminated.

The Company satisfied the maturity date extension requirement pursuant to funds retained upon the closing of the Mergers in December 2020. As a result, the Senior Debt now has a maturity date of December 1, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

On November 3, 2021, the Company repaid $1,179,651 towards the senior debt. This payment satisfied the remaining balance of the senior debt as of that date.

Interest expense on the Senior Debt was as follows for the periods indicated:

Subordinated Related Party Term Loans Entered Into Prior To 2020

On December 10, 2018, JCP III CI AIV, L.P., an affiliate of the JCP Investor, acquired from Krivulka Family LLC (“Krivulka”) all of Krivulka’s ownership interest in Metuchen Therapeutics, LLC (“MT”), a holding company that owned 55% of Metuchen, giving the JCP Investor a controlling interest in Metuchen (such transaction, the “JCP Acquisition”). Concurrently with the JCP Acquisition, the Company executed a Subordination Agreement (“Sub Debt”) with several related parties, L. Mazur Associates, JV (“LMA”), KFE, an entity controlled by Krivulka and the JCP Investor (herein referred to collectively as “the Related Holders”). On November 22, 2107, the Company and the Related Holders entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement (“Amended Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the principal balance of the Sub Debt was increased to $30,579,496. The amount due was divided 20.9%, 20.1%, and 59%, respectively, amongst LMA, KFE, and JCP. The cash interest rate of the amended sub debt was 12%. Additional PIK interest was 8% payable on the maturity date.

On December 10, 2018, as part of the acquisition accounting for JCP Acquisition of a majority ownership interest in Metuchen, the outstanding Sub Debt was determined to have a fair value that was less than its carrying value. The fair value of the subordinated related party term loans was $22,250,746 at December 10, 2018. A debt discount of $15,506,463 was recognized and was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

On December 10, 2018, the Company signed a subordinated promissory note for an additional $4,750,000 of Sub Debt from JCP. The proceeds were used for the acquisition of the Medical Device Business. The principal, along with PIK interest at an annual rate of 25%, was due on April 2, 2021.

On September 16, 2019, Metuchen entered into an Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with JCP and LMA to exchange Preferred Units and Common Units for the Sub Debt. Upon consummation of the exchange, the Preferred Units and Common Units issued were for the full satisfaction and termination of the subordinated related party term loan. As of each of December 31, 2020 and

2019, there was no outstanding principal balance or accrued interest for the subordinated related term loans. The following chart summarizes the instruments exchanged in the transaction as of September 16, 2019:

Common Units, at fair value (2,434,551.28 Units)	$	29,117,232
Preferred Units, at fair value (1,373,820.51 Units)		17,500,000
Total fair value of Preferred and Common Units exchanged		46,617,232
Sub Debt principal balance		33,250,000
Add: PIK Interest		16,544,318
Less: Debt Discount		10,486,536
Total carrying value of Sub Debt exchanged		39,307,782
Excess of fair value of Preferred and Common Units exchanged over the carrying value of Sub Debt	$	(7,309,450)

Based on ASC 470, the Company accounted for the exchange between related parties as a capital transaction. The carrying value of the subordinated related party term loans, including any accrued interest, on the date of the exchange was $39.3 million and the fair value of Preferred and Common Units was $46.6 million. As this is a capital transaction between related parties it is not appropriate to record an extinguishment loss; therefore, the company recorded the $7.3 million difference between the carrying value of the subordinated related party term loans and the fair value of the Preferred and Common Units to members’ capital. See Note 9 Members’ Capital for the determination of fair value of the Preferred and Common Units.

The Company had subordinated related party term loans which was converted into common and preferred stocks on September 16, 2019. Interest expense on this debt was $11,416,697, including PIK interest of $6,747,313 for the year ended December 31, 2019.

9)    Members’ Capital

(a)    Capitalization

Prior to September 16, 2019, The Company authorized 100 units of Class A Common Units (the “Class A Units”) to be issued and outstanding. In addition, there were Restricted Member Units (“RMU’s”) that were designated as a class of incentive units (also known as “Class B Units”).

On September 16, 2019, the Company amended and restated its operating agreement creating the rights and preferences relating to the Preferred Units and Common Units mentioned in the Private Placement Offering below. The issued and outstanding Preferred Units and Common Units were exchanged for Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Mergers.

(b)    Preferred Units

A holder of a Preferred Unit was entitled to vote on any matter requiring the approval of such units. In addition, the Preferred Unit holders were entitled to distributions, after adjustment for specific items, for each fiscal year.

Effective with the amended and restated operating agreement on August 26, 2019, each Class A Unit was exchanged for 10,000 Common Units.

(d)    Class B Units

As of September 16, 2019, none of the Class B Units had been issued. Effective with the amended and restated operating agreement on September 16, 2019, the Class B Units were no longer an authorized membership interest of the Company.

(f)    Private Placement Offering

On September 16, 2019, the Company executed a Private Placement offering (“Private Placement”) with V4 Capital Partners, LLC (“Lead Investor”) and other accredited investors (collectively “Investors”). None of the Investors had previously held an interest in the Company. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company agreed to issue and sell up to $3.5 million of the Company’s Preferred Units. Each Preferred Unit had an offering price of $12.7382 per unit. The Company issued 245,933 Preferred Units related to the Private Placement and received aggregate net proceeds from the Private Placement of $2.7 million.

The Preferred Units maintained a 5% non-cumulative quarterly dividend, included one vote per unit on all matters to be voted upon by Common Unit holders and required a mandatory conversion upon the closing of a qualified public offering, with the conversion price being subject to adjustment if the price per share in the qualified public offering was less than $15.92275 per Preferred Unit. Subject to adjustment, each Preferred Unit could be converted into one Common Unit. The Preferred Units did not meet the criteria for liability classification and are classified within equity. In addition, the embedded conversion feature was considered clearly and closely related to the Preferred Units and did not require bifurcation. However, the embedded conversion feature represents a beneficial conversion feature with a relative fair value of $26,500 and has been recorded to additional paid-in capital, included within the $250,000 proceeds received related to the issuance of the lead investor warrants.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Lead Investor received warrants (“Lead Investor Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 615,838.50 shares of the Company’s Preferred Units at an exercise price of $0.01 per Preferred Unit. The Lead Investor Warrants had an expiration date of September 16, 2020. The Lead Investor Warrants were only exercisable upon a qualified public offering being consummated within one year. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the Lead Investor Warrants was estimated to be $2.1 million. To record the issuance of the Lead Investor Warrants, the Company allocated the proceeds of $250,000 received from the Lead Investor for the Preferred Units between the Lead Investor Warrants and the beneficial conversion feature for the embedded conversion option. Of the proceeds received, the relative fair value allocated to the Lead Investor Warrants was $223,500 and was included in additional paid-in capital. The Lead Investor Warrants did not meet the criteria for liability classification. In September 2020, the Company and the Lead Investor warrant holders amended the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,055,114.66 shares of the Company’s preferred units at an exercise price of $0.01 per preferred unit. The amendment also extended the expiration date to December 16, 2020. In November 2020, the Lead Investor warrant holders exercised their right to purchase 2,055,114.66 of the Company’s preferred units and the Company received $20,551 in proceeds.

The Company estimated their fair value using Monte Carlo Simulation approach. Significant judgments used in the valuation model included the overall likelihood of a qualified public offering occurring and Management’s estimate for the aggregate equity value,

including an estimate for the proceeds from a qualified public offering as well as giving consideration in the event the price per share in a qualified public offering is below 125% of the $12.7382 price per Preferred Unit. Also incorporated in the fair value of the Lead Investor Warrants was a risk-free rate, estimated volatility of equity and an incremental discount for lack of marketability.

Also, in connection with the Private Placement, the placement agent received warrants (“Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 10,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.7382 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants could be exercised any time on or after September 16, 2019. The Placement Agent Warrants contained an expiration date of September 16, 2024 and were converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the consummation of the Mergers. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was estimated to be $135,800 and was included in additional paid-in capital. The Placement Agent Warrants did not meet the criteria for liability classification.

The Company estimated their fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The inputs used to value the Placement Agent Warrants included the Preferred Unit Price and the Placement Agent Warrant Strike Price (both of which are $12.7382), the expiration date of the Placement Agent Warrants of September 16, 2024, the risk-free rate to the expiration date of 1.73%, and the estimated volatility over the expected term of the Placement Agent Warrants of 90.0%.

As there had been no public market for Metuchen’s Common Units, the estimated fair value of its Common Units was determined by the Board of Directors as of the Private Placement date, with input from management, considering the Company’s most recently available valuations of the aggregate equity value of the Company. In addition to considering the results of these valuations, the Company’s Board of Directors considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of its Common and Preferred Units as of the private placement date, including the progress of the Company’s products sales, external market conditions affecting and trends within the life sciences industry and the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event. The fair value of the Company’s Common Units as of the Private Placement Date was determined to be the difference between the fair value of the Company’s aggregate equity and the summation of the fair values of the Preferred Units, the Lead Investor Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.

13)    Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Upon the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, has been calculated using the number of common units outstanding of Metuchen from January 1, 2020, through September 30, 2020, multiplied by the exchange ratio used in the transaction.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per share:

Upon the consummation of the Mergers on December 1, 2020, the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been calculated on a pro forma basis using Metuchen’s historical weighted average number of common units outstanding multiplied by the exchange ratio used in the reverse recapitalization. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the basic weighted average shares outstanding has been calculated using the number of common units outstanding of Metuchen from January 1, 2020 through the December 1, 2020 acquisition date multiplied by the exchange ratio used in the transaction and the number of common shares outstanding of the Company from December 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

Marketing, Licensing and Distribution Agreements

Marketing, Licensing and Distribution Agreements

14)   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, and for an additional $0.8 million, the Company also acquired the current Stendra® product and sample inventories as of September 30, 2016, that were owned by Vivus. 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.

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 on the effective date of the License Agreement, which has since been terminated, effective as of September 30, 2021. The Supply Agreement stated that Vivus would initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. In connection with the Supply Agreement , we and Vivus have been in negotiations to determine the amounts ultimately owed to Vivus, but we may be responsible for payments of approximately $20.7 million. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the Supply Agreement on September 30, 2019, which became effective on September 30, 2021.

The Company is currently negotiating with multiple contract manufacturers to manufacture and supply Stendra® and serve as potential replacements for Vivus. The Company intends to enter into a new supply agreement with one or more of these candidates in the near future and hopes to have an agreement in place by the end of the year. However, these negotiations are ongoing and there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into any new supply agreement with such potential vendors or that we will be able to do so at terms favorable to us in a timely manner. As of November 15, 2021, we believe that we have sufficient supplies of Stendra® to meet demand for the next 10 months.

Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply Stendra® in excess of 120% of the quantity specified above but will use reasonable efforts.

As of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $14.2 million of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory. As API inventory is not a finished good, the Company does not have title to the product and classifies 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 both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there was $1.3 million included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets). As of both September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, $11.1 million is included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company has not recorded any additional reserve to reduce the cost of API inventory.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $302,346 and $206,435, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred royalties to MTPC for Stendra® of $68,865 and $129,508, respectively. Royalties incurred were included in cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had a payable for royalties of $68,865 and $8,728, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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)    Hybrid

In March 2020, the Company acquired the exclusive license to H100™ from Hybrid (the “Hybrid License”). 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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000, and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Hybrid License and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired, and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which the term of the license agreement was extended for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the extension, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020. On March 31, 2021, the Company and Hybrid, entered into a second letter agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to extend the Second Period (as defined in the Hybrid License) for an additional six (6) months to September 24, 2021. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay Hybrid a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment of $200,000, which was paid within seven calendar days of entering into the agreement. On September 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement in which the Company exercised its right not to terminate the Hybrid License even though orphan drug status had not yet been granted by the FDA. Along with this election, the Company paid Hybrid $150,000 on October 1, 2021, $200,000 on October 31, 2021, and agreed to pay two (2) additional payments of $200,000 by December 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

14)   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, and for an additional $0.8 million, the Company also acquired the current Stendra® product and sample inventories as of September 30, 2016 that were owned by Vivus. The License Agreement gives the Company the right to sell Stendra® in the U.S and its territories, Canada, South America, and India.

Stendra® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in April 2012 to treat male erectile dysfunction.

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 on the effective date of the License Agreement. The Supply Agreement states that Vivus will initially manufacture, test, and supply the product to the Company or its designee, directly or through one or more third parties. The agreement is effective through December 31, 2021. The Company provided Vivus with notice of termination of the supply agreement on September 30, 2019, effective on September 30. 2021. The Company is required to make future minimum annual purchases of Stendra® under the Supply Agreement as follows (based on current prices, however, subject to annual price increases). As of December 31, 2020, the minimum purchase obligation is $4.1 million in 2021.

Stendra® can be purchased by written purchase orders submitted to Vivus at least 125 days in advance of the desired shipment date. For each quarter, the Company is required to submit purchase orders for at least 90% of the quantities in the forecast above. Vivus will have no obligation to supply Stendra® in excess of 120% of the quantity specified above but will use reasonable efforts.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has $14.2 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of accrued inventory purchases related to the Company’s minimum purchase obligations with Vivus for raw material or API inventory.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, included in other current assets (see Note 5 Prepaid and Other Current Assets).

On July 7, 2020, Vivus announced that it has completed the solicitation of an in-court prepackaged plan of reorganization, under which IEH Biopharma LLC will take 100% ownership of Vivus. Vivus is a specialty pharmaceutical company and the Company has a License

Agreement with Vivus for commercialization and exploitation of Stendra® as well as the Company and Vivus are parties to a Supply Agreement for which Vivus will manufacture, test and supply Stendra® to the Company. The License Agreement is a sublicense under Vivus’ license agreement with the owner of the Stendra® patent, MTPC.

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)    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. We paid an initial license fee of $100,000, with an additional $900,000 payment due upon obtainment of orphan indication for H100™ and termination of Hybrid’s existing agreement with a compounding pharmacy, and additional annual payments of $125,000, $150,000 and $200,000 due on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the license agreement and $250,000 annual payments due thereafter. The Company is also required to make a $1,000,000 payment upon first commercial sale and a sliding scale of percentage payments on net sales in the low single digits. Annual anniversary payments will not be required after commercialization. The Company is also obligated to make royalty payments between 3-6% of any net sales. In addition, the Company may terminate at any time after first anniversary, without cause, upon ninety (90) days’ notice.

The initial license fee of $100,000 and an extension payment of $100,000 has been recorded in research and development during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has treated the acquisition as an asset acquisition and has concluded that the asset acquired and the upfront payment should be expensed as it was considered an IPR&D asset with no alternative future uses.

On September 24, 2020, the Company and Hybrid amended the license agreement for H100™ to extend the term of the license agreement for an additional six months to March 24, 2021. In consideration for the amendment, the Company paid Hybrid $50,000 in October 2020 and an additional $100,000 in December 2020.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed 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, and assessment of long-lived assets, including intangible asset impairment and the determination of the fair value of the derivative liability, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

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, and protection of intellectual property rights.

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China ( “COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020, and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic, and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial results, and the Company may experience a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2021 and thereafter.

During 2020, government regulations and the voluntary business practices of the Company and prescribing physicians had prevented in-person visits by sales representatives to physicians’ offices. The Company had taken steps to mitigate the negative impact on its businesses of such restrictions. In March 2020, the Company reduced its sales representative head count to reflect the lack of in-person visits. The Company had maintained a core sales team which continued to contact physicians via telephone and videoconference as well as continuing to have webinars provided by the Company’s key opinion leaders to other physicians and pharmacists. In response to the spread of COVID-19, in March 2020, the Company closed its administrative offices and as of September 30, 2021, they remain closed, with the Company’s employees continuing their work outside of the Company’s offices. The Company has selectively resumed in-person interactions by its customer-facing personnel in compliance with local and state restrictions. The Company also continues to engage with customers virtually as the Company seeks to continue to support healthcare professionals and patient care. However, the Company’s ability to engage in personal interactions with physicians and customers remains limited, and it is unknown when the Company’s offices will reopen, and these interactions will be fully resumed.

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, may be in excess of insured limits.

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 ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition (“Topic 606”), the Company recognizes revenue from prescription medication sales when its performance obligations with a customer have 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for sales deductions were $4.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The most significant sales deductions included in this reserve relate to returns, contract rebates, coupon redemptions and distribution service (“DSA”) fees. The Company’s estimates are based on factors such as its 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 its direct and indirect customers, and other competitive factors. Significant judgment and estimation are 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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns were $3.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and are included as a component of accrued expenses.

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.

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 do not require a prescription and include vacuum erection devices, VenoSeal, and other related accessories. 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. The Company has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the reserves for product returns for medical devices were not significant.

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 do not require a prescription and include Vacuum Erection Devices, PreBoost, VenoSeal, penile injections (Rx), and urinary tract infection tests. 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 has not made significant changes to the judgments made in applying Topic 606. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. 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 an observable market.

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.

Financial instruments recognized at historical amounts in the condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities, and senior debt. The Company believes that the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying value of senior debt as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, approximated fair value. The fair value of the senior debt was estimated by discounting to present value the scheduled coupon payments and principal repayment, using an appropriate fair market yield and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Mergers in December 2020, each security holder of Metuchen received an earnout consideration classified as a derivative liability to be paid in the form of Petros Common Stock. The Company estimated their fair value using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach. 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. The fair value of the derivative liability as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, was $0.3 million and $9.9 million, respectively. See Note 10 Stockholders’ Equity.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees and consultants in accordance with applicable accounting principles, which requires compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee stock options and consultant warrants, to be measured and recognized in the financial statements based on a determination of the fair value of the stock options or warrants. The grant date fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) pricing model. Employee stock option and consulting expenses are recognized over the employee’s or consultant’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the volatility and expected term. Any changes in these highly subjective assumptions can significantly impact stock-based compensation expense. See Note 11 Stock Options.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen was a limited liability company (“LLC”) for federal income tax purposes and had elected to be treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. PTV is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations were reported on the member’s income tax return. In addition, Timm Medical was included in the Company’s structure where taxes were paid at the entity level.

Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period the rate change is enacted.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740) on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Following the consummation of the Mergers, Metuchen is treated as a disregarded entity (“SMLLC”) for federal income tax purposes. As such, all income tax consequences resulting from the operations of Metuchen are reported on the members’ income tax returns through the period in which the Merger was transacted. Subsequent to the Mergers, Metuchen’s activity is included in the Company’s consolidated group.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted and signed into law, and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enactment date. The CARES Act, among other things, includes changes to the tax provisions that benefits business entities and makes certain technical corrections to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including, permitting net operating losses, or NOLs, carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The CARES Act provides other reliefs and stimulus measures. We have evaluated the impact of the CARES Act, and do not expect that any provision of the CARES Act would result in a material cash benefit to us or have a material impact on our financial statements or internal controls over financial reporting.

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 common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants to purchase common shares. The Company computes diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss applicable to common share by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of its convertible preferred stocks, stock options and warrants to purchase common shares, but such items are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

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 stock of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. See Note 13 Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pending Adoption as of September 30, 2021

In June 2016, the 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 new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the new guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3

fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company for the annual periods and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for both private and public entities. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and its impact was not material.
