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 vector-borne 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 and/or botanical extracts from Australian Chestnut Trees. The Company’s headquarters are located in Washington, D.C., with a majority-owned subsidiary in Australia.
Since the Company’s initial public offering in July 2023, its common stock has been listed and trades on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SXTP,” and tradeable warrants under the symbol “SXTPW.”
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 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $3,337,760, as compared to cash and cash equivalents totaling $1,510,065 at December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company used cash of $2,741,559 in its operating activities. The Company’s capital commitments over the next twelve months include interest and principal payments on the Company’s debt arrangement of $8,772, $1,487,590 to satisfy accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $18,522 payable under its short-term lease arrangement. In addition, the Company is subject to certain royalty obligations based on future net product sales (See Note 11).
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. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional capital necessary to fund its operations during the look‑forward period. 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 consolidated condensed 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.
Management has evaluated these conditions and its plans to mitigate them and concluded that, collectively, such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the date these consolidated condensed financial statements are issued.
The consolidated condensed 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. |
