Nature of Business - Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin” or the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on peptide and small-molecule compounds that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor system. The Company’s product candidates are targeted, receptor-specific therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential.
Melanocortin Receptor System. The melanocortin receptor system is involved in the regulation of food intake, metabolism, sexual function, inflammation and immune responses. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1R through MC5R. Modulation of these receptors through receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which inhibit receptor function, can produce significant pharmacological effects.
The Company’s principal strategic development focus is the advancement of MC4R agonists for the treatment of obesity, with an emphasis on rare neuroendocrine and other MC4R pathway diseases. The Company is developing selective MC4R long-acting peptide agonists and oral small-molecule agonists with potential utility in hypothalamic obesity, Prader-Willi syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome and other rare obesity and orphan indications.
The Company is also developing, subject to the availability of resources, melanocortin receptor agonists with potential utility in ocular diseases and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, including uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease. A product candidate targeting MC1R for the treatment of dry eye disease, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, has been licensed to a third party, and a family of melanocortin receptor compounds for the treatment of retinal diseases has been licensed to Boehringer Ingelheim. The Company believes that certain melanocortin receptor agonist peptides in development may have anti-inflammatory effects through mechanisms involved in the endogenous melanocortin system’s regulation of immune responses and resolution of inflammation.
The Company’s prior commercial product, Vyleesi® (bremelanotide injection), was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in June 2019 for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in premenopausal women. Vyleesi was initially licensed to AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in January 2017. That license was terminated in July 2020, and the Vyleesi assets were subsequently sold to Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cosette”) in December 2023.
Reverse Stock Split - On August 8, 2025, a reverse stock split of 1-for-50 of issued and outstanding common stock was made effective by the Company. Retroactive effect for the reverse stock split was made to the Company’s outstanding common stock, stock options, common stock warrants, and preferred stock conversion features, including all share and per-share data, for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
Business Risks and Liquidity – The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and will need additional funding to complete its planned product development efforts. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2026, of $467,451,794 and a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2026, of $8,377,895. The Company anticipates incurring significant expenses in the future as a result of spending on its development programs and will require substantial additional financing or revenues to continue to fund its planned activities. To achieve sustained profitability, if ever, the Company, alone or with others, must successfully develop and commercialize its technologies and proposed products, conduct successful preclinical studies and clinical trials, obtain required regulatory approvals, and successfully manufacture and market such technologies and proposed products. The time required to reach sustained profitability is highly uncertain, and the Company may never be able to achieve profitability on a sustained basis, if at all.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $7,492,014 and current liabilities were $1,771,973. Management intends to utilize existing capital resources for general corporate purposes and working capital, primarily for the development of the Company’s MC4R agonists for the treatment of obesity, with an emphasis on rare neuroendocrine and other MC4R pathway diseases, and development of other MC1R portfolio products.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, which requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. While the Company has raised funding in the past, the ability to raise funding in future periods is not considered probable, as defined under the accounting standards. As such, under the requirements of ASC 205-40, management may not consider the potential for future funding in their assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its obligations for the next year.
Based on the Company’s available cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company is evaluating strategies to obtain additional funding for future operations which include, but are not limited to, obtaining equity financing, issuing debt, or reducing planned expenses. A failure to raise additional funding or to effectively implement cost reductions could harm the Company’s business, results of operations, and future prospects. If the Company is not able to secure adequate additional funding in future periods, the Company would be forced to make additional reductions in certain expenditures. This may include liquidating assets and suspending or curtailing planned programs. The Company may also have to delay, reduce the scope of, suspend, or eliminate one or more research and development programs or its commercialization efforts or pursue a strategic transaction. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or enter into a strategic transaction, then the Company may be required to cease operations, which could cause its stockholders to lose all or part of their investment. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Assuming no additional funding and based on its current operating and development plans, the Company expects that existing cash and cash equivalents as of the date of this filing will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated operating expenses through the second half of calendar year 2026.
Concentrations – Concentrations in the Company’s assets and operations subject it to certain related risks. Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in one investment account sponsored by a large financial institution.
