1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 1, 2022 and merged on the same day with 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a District of Columbia limited liability company organized on September 9, 2010 (“60P LLC”). 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary (referred to collectively as the “Company”, “60P”, or “60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that specializes in the development and marketing of new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. 60P achieved FDA approval of its lead product, ARAKODA® (tafenoquine), for malaria prevention, in 2018. Currently, 60P’s pipeline under development covers development programs for tick-borne fungal and other viral diseases utilizing three of the Company’s future products: (i) new products that contain the Arakoda regimen of tafenoquine; (ii) new products that contain tafenoquine; and (iii) celgosivir. The Company’s headquarters are located in Washington, D.C., with a majority-owned subsidiary in Australia.

 

Initial Public Offering

 

On July 14, 2023, the Company closed its initial public offering consisting of 23,585 units at a price of $318.00 per unit for $6,454,325 in net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and commission and other estimated offering expenses paid by the Company at closing (the “IPO”). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock, one tradeable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $365.70 per share (a “Tradeable Warrant”), and one non-tradeable warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $381.60 per share (a “Non-tradeable Warrant”). The Tradeable Warrants and Non-Tradeable Warrants were immediately exercisable on the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance (July 12, 2023 to July 12, 2028).

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 3,538 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $316.80 per share and/or 3,538 Tradeable Warrants at a price of $0.60 per Tradeable Warrant and/or 3,538 Non-tradeable Warrants at $0.60 per Non-tradeable Warrant, or any combination thereof (the “IPO Over-Allotment”). On July 13, 2023, the underwriters partially exercised the Over-Allotment and purchased an additional 1,678 Tradeable Warrants and 1,678 Non-tradeable Warrants. The Company also issued to the underwriters warrants to purchase 1,416 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $349.80 per share, equal to 110% of the offering price per unit (the “IPO Representative Warrants”). The IPO Representative Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance (July 14, 2023 to July 14, 2028).

 

The units were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-269483), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 31, 2023 (the “IPO Registration Statement”) and the final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 11, 2023. The common stock and tradeable warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on July 12, 2023 under the symbols “SXTP” and “SXTPW,” respectively. The closing of the IPO occurred on July 14, 2023.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the risks associated with developing product candidates and successfully launching and commercializing its drug/device combination products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval of its such products in the United States and other geography markets, the uncertainty of the broad adoption of its approved products by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.

In addition, higher rates of inflation have resulted in the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates. Increases in interest rates, especially if coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may further increase economic uncertainty and heighten these risks. Furthermore, if additional banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, the Company or its partners’ ability to access existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition, including the Company’s ability to access additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s ability to pursue its business strategy. 

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Since its inception, the Company has not demonstrated the ability to generate enough revenues to date to cover operating expenses and has accumulated losses to date. At December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,659,353, as compared to cash and cash equivalents totaling $2,142,485 at December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used cash of $5,648,088 in its operating activities ($4,542,910 during the year ended December 31, 2023). The Company’s capital commitments over the next twelve months include interest payments on the Company’s debt arrangements of $8,772 and $1,007,618 to satisfy accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.

 

Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and achieve gross profitability from the Company’s single marketed product. To achieve profitability, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to fund its activities relating to commercial support for its existing product and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. However, there can be no assurance that it will ever achieve or maintain profitability. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.

 

Management plans to fund operations of the Company through third party and related party debt/advances, private placement of restricted securities and the issuance of stock in a subsequent offering until such a time as the business achieves profitability or a business combination may be achieved. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are favorable to the Company. Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting the Company’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If the Company raises funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to the Company and/or may reduce the value of its common stock. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market its product candidates even if the Company would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates itself.

 

As such, management concluded that such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued.

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business, and do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
