Positive
  • FDA approval of LYMPHIR (E7777/denileukin diftitox) in August 2024 enabling commercialization
  • Distribution agreements executed with Cardinal Health and Cencora to support U.S. launch
  • Inventory build of $17.2 million to support anticipated commercial sales
  • Completed public offering on July 17, 2025 raising gross $9.0 million (net approx. $7.44 million)
  • Regained Nasdaq compliance after closing bid price exceeded $1.00 for required period
Negative
  • Extremely limited cash: only $112 on hand at June 30, 2025 and negative working capital of ~$34.7 million
  • Significant operating losses: net loss of $19.76 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and accumulated deficit of $59.04 million
  • Large near-term liabilities: remaining $22.5 million milestone payable to Dr. Reddy's and $5.9 million Eisai milestone included in license payable, plus scheduled payments under the Eisai letter agreement
  • Substantial purchase commitments: manufacturing minimums of ~$18.3 million and packaging commitments of ~$4.5 million
  • Heavy dependence on related‑party funding: Citius Pharmaceuticals provided funding, holds majority ownership (~84.3% as of July 17, 2025), and funds operations via due-to-related-party balances

Insights

TL;DR: FDA approval and launch readiness offset by an acute cash shortfall and large near-term contractual obligations.

The company has achieved the critical regulatory milestone of FDA approval for LYMPHIR and has established distribution partnerships and inventory to support an imminent commercial launch. However, the balance sheet shows only $112 of cash and negative working capital of ~$34.7 million at June 30, 2025. Material obligations include a $22.5 million remaining milestone to Dr. Reddy's, a $5.9 million Eisai milestone, and multi‑million dollar manufacturing and packaging purchase commitments. The July 17, 2025 offering (gross $9.0 million, net ~$7.44 million) temporarily extends runway to September 2025 but is insufficient to cover all near-term cash needs. From a financial perspective, the company faces a significant funding cliff that is material to investors.

TL;DR: Regulatory and commercial progress reduces execution risk, but heavy reliance on related-party funding and deferred payment arrangements raise governance and liquidity risk.

The company has converted development assets into a commercial product (BLA approved Aug 8, 2024) and contracted distributors to support launch. It also renegotiated payment schedules with licensors (Eisai) and obtained partial deferrals from counterparties (Dr. Reddy's). Nevertheless, the company remains substantially dependent on Citius Pharmaceuticals for funding and shared services, and significant milestone and supply commitments remain. These factors increase execution and counterparty risk despite operational progress.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 AND 2024

(Unaudited)

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Business

 

Citius Oncology, Inc. (“Citius Oncology”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) is a specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of critical care products targeting unmet needs with a focus on oncology products. We are commercializing E7777 (denileukin diftitox), an approved oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (“CTCL”), a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We have obtained the trade name of LYMPHIR for E7777.

 

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all our efforts to business planning, research and development, and recruiting management and technical staff. We are subject to a number of risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing, risks related to the development by the Company or its competitors of research and development stage products, market acceptance of any of its products approved for marketing, competition from larger companies, dependence on key personnel, dependence on key suppliers and strategic partners and the Company’s compliance with governmental and other regulations.

 

Since our inception, Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Citius Pharma”) (Nasdaq: CTXR) has funded and continues to fund the Company. Citius Pharma and the Company are party to an amended and restated shared services agreement (the “A&R Shared Services Agreement”), which governs certain management and scientific services that Citius Pharma provides the Company.

 

Merger

 

On August 23, 2021, Citius Pharma formed Citius Acquisition Corp. (“SpinCo”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary in conjunction with the acquisition of LYMPHIR, which began operations in April 2022, when Citius Pharma transferred the assets related to LYMPHIR to SpinCo, including the related license agreement and asset purchase agreement (see Note 5).

 

On October 23, 2023, Citius Pharma and SpinCo entered into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with TenX Keane Acquisition, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TenX”), and TenX Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of TenX (“Merger Sub”).

 

On August 12, 2024, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of TenX (the “Merger”) which was subsequently renamed Citius Oncology Sub, Inc. Prior to closing of the Merger, TenX migrated to and domesticated as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Domestication”). As part of the Domestication, TenX changed its name to “Citius Oncology, Inc.” (Nasdaq: CTOR). Immediately after the closing of the Merger, Citius Pharma owned approximately 92.3% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As of July 17, 2025, Citius Pharma owned approximately 84.3% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

While the Merger Sub was the legal acquirer of the Company, for accounting purposes, the Company was deemed to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the assets and liabilities of the Merger Sub, accompanied by a recapitalization. Total shares outstanding of the Company after the Merger and recapitalization increased to 71,552,402. The net assets of the merged entities are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Additionally, the historical financial statements of the Company became the historical financial statements of the Company.

 

5

 

 

The Merger, net amount of $2,753,795 charged to additional paid-in capital consists of $395,015 of net liabilities of TenX on the date of the Merger (cash of $163,500 less liabilities of $559,015) plus directly related transaction costs of $2,358,780.

 

As part of the Merger, Citius Pharma made capital investments in the Company through cash contributions of $3,827,944 to fund transactions related to the Merger and by reclassifying to additional paid-in capital intercompany receivables of $33,180,961 that were due from the Company to Citius Pharma. Simultaneously, Citius Pharma advanced an additional $3,800,111 to the Company under the terms of a note payable (see Note 8).

 

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Preparation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of Citius Oncology, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citius Oncology Sub, Inc., which was formed in connection with Merger. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2025. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 27, 2024, as amended on January 27, 2025.

 

Use of Estimates - The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates having relatively higher significance include the accounting for in-process research and development, stock-based compensation, net realizable value of inventory and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and changes in estimates may occur.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share - Basic and diluted net loss per common share applicable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders in each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. For the periods presented, common stock equivalents and consisting of stock options, were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Other than as disclosed in our Form 10-K, we are not aware of any other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that may have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $19,764,713 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. The Company has no revenue and has relied on funding from Citius Pharma to finance its operations. At June 30, 2025, the Company had $112 in cash and a negative working capital of $34.7 million.

 

On July 17, 2025, Citius Oncology completed a public offering of 6,818,182 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 6,818,182 shares of its common stock at $1.32 per share. The immediately exercisable five-year warrants have an exercise price of $1.32 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses, were approximately $9.0 million. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $7.44 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

 

6

 

 

After giving effect to the July 17, 2025 financing, we expect that we will have sufficient funds to continue our operations through September 2025. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our operations beyond September 2025, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued.

 

The Company plans to continue to rely on funding from Citius Pharma, to raise capital through equity financings from outside investors and to generate revenue from the future sales of LYMPHIR. Both the Company and Citius Pharma are actively engaged in capital raising efforts to extend the cash runway. The Company also has retained Jefferies LLC as its exclusive financial advisor in evaluating strategic alternatives aimed at maximizing shareholder value. There is no assurance, however, that Citius Pharma will have the resources to continue funding the Company, that the Company will be successful in raising the needed capital and, if funding is available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that the Company will find strategic partners or generate substantial revenue from the sale of LYMPHIR. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the above uncertainty.

 

3. INVENTORY

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of actual accumulated costs or net realizable value. Inventory consists of finished goods of $8,962,493, and work in process of $8,246,474 as of June 30, 2025. Inventory consists of finished goods of $6,134,895, and work in process of $2,133,862 as of September 30, 2024. Inventory is all related to the manufacturing of LYMPHIR commercial products expected to be sold commencing in the fourth quarter of 2025. No reserves against inventory were deemed necessary based on an evaluation of the product expiration dating.

 

4. PREPAID EXPENSES

 

Prepaid expenses at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 consist of $1,100,000 and $2,700,000, respectively, of advance payments made for the preparation of long-lead time drug substance and product costs, respectively, which will be utilized in research and development activities or in the manufacturing of LYMPHIR for sales.

 

5. PATENT AND TECHNOLOGY LICENSE AGREEMENTS

 

License Agreement with Eisai

 

In September 2021, Citius Pharma entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories SA, a subsidiary of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Ltd. (collectively, “Dr. Reddy’s”) and a license agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. (“Eisai”) to acquire an exclusive license of E7777 (denileukin diftitox), an oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Citius Pharma renamed E7777 as I/ONTAK and also obtained the trade name of LYMPHIR for the product. Citius Pharma assigned these agreements to us effective April 1, 2022. The Company received a BLA approval from the FDA for LYMPHIR in August 2024.

 

Under the terms of these agreements, Citius Pharma acquired Dr. Reddy’s exclusive license for E7777 from Eisai and other related assets owned by Dr. Reddy’s (which are now owned by Citius Oncology). The exclusive license rights include rights to develop and commercialize E7777 in all markets except for Japan and certain parts of Asia. Additionally, we retained an option on the right to develop and market the product in India. Eisai retains exclusive development and marketing rights for the agent in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, India (subject to the India option prior to FDA approval), Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Mongolia, and Papua New Guinea. Citius Pharma paid Dr. Reddy’s a $40 million upfront payment, which represents the acquisition date fair value of the in-process research and development acquired from Dr. Reddy’s. Dr. Reddy’s is entitled to up to $40 million in development milestone payments related to CTCL approvals in the U.S. and other markets, up to $70 million in development milestones for additional indications, as well as commercial milestone payments and low double-digit tiered royalties on net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%), and up to $300 million for commercial sales milestones. Citius Oncology also must pay on a fiscal quarter basis tiered royalties equal to low double-digit percentages of net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%). The royalties will end on the earlier of (i) the 15-year anniversary of the first commercial sale of the latest indication that received regulatory approval in the applicable country and (ii) the date on which a biosimilar product results in the reduction of net sales in the applicable product by 50% in two consecutive quarters, as compared to the four quarters prior to the first commercial sale of the biosimilar product. Citius Oncology will also pay to Dr. Reddy’s an amount equal to a low-thirties percentage of any sublicense upfront consideration or milestone payments (or the like) received by us and the greater of (i) a low-thirties percentage of any sublicensee sales-based royalties or (ii) a mid-single digit percentage of such licensee’s net sales. Citius Pharma is a guarantor of Citius Oncology’s payment obligations under these agreements.

 

7

 

 

At the time of the FDA approval for LYMPHIR, a $27.5 million milestone payment became payable to Dr. Reddy’s under the terms of the asset purchase agreement for which a balance of $22.5 million remains due as of June 30, 2025. Pending further discussions with Dr. Reddy’s, Dr. Reddy’s agreed to a partial deferral without penalty of this milestone payment. On July 10, 2025, Citius Pharma made a payment of $1,000,000 to Dr. Reddy’s against the outstanding milestone approval fee. On July 28, 2025, Citius Oncology made a payment of $1,250,000 to Dr. Reddy’s against the outstanding milestone approval fees.

 

Under the license agreement, Eisai was to receive a $5.9 million milestone payment upon FDA approval, which is included in license payable at June 30, 2025, and additional commercial milestone payments related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds and an aggregate of up to $22 million related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds. Citius Oncology was also required to reimburse Eisai for up to $2.65 million of its costs to complete the Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for LYMPHIR for the CTCL indication and reimburse Eisai for all reasonable costs associated with the preparation of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for LYMPHIR. Eisai was responsible for completing the CTCL clinical trial, and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (“CMC”) activities through the filing of the BLA for LYMPHIR with the FDA. The BLA was approved by the FDA on August 8, 2024. We are responsible for development costs associated with potential additional indications.

 

On March 28, 2025, Citius Oncology and Eisai entered into a letter agreement that amended the license agreement to provide for a payment schedule to Eisai for the milestone payment and certain unpaid invoices. Citius Oncology has agreed to pay Eisai on or before July 15, 2025, an aggregate amount of $2,535,318 and thereafter on the 15th of each of the next four months to pay Eisai $2,350,000 and make a final payment of $2,197,892 to Eisai on or before December 15, 2025, in each case with interest on each obligation from its original due date through the date of actual payment under the letter agreement at the rate of 2% per annum. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 Citius Oncology recorded $160,755 in interest expense under the agreement. The parties released each other from any and all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses that arise from or related to the failure of Citius Oncology to pay the milestone payment or the other incurred costs under the license agreement except for any claims arising out of a breach of the letter agreement. All other terms of the license agreement remain in full force and effect. On July 15, 2025, Citius Pharma made a payment of $1,091,167.12 to Eisai for the outstanding milestone approval fee and accumulated interest associated with the letter agreement. On July 21, 2025, Citius Oncology made a payment to Eisai of $1,616,521.96 for other certain invoices and accumulated interest associated with the letter agreement.

 

The term of the license agreement will continue until (i) March 30, 2026, if there has not been a commercial sale of a licensed product in the territory, or (ii) if there has been a first commercial sale of a licensed product in the territory by March 30, 2026, the 10-year anniversary of the first commercial sale on a country-by-country basis. The term of the license may be extended for additional 10-year periods for all countries in the territory by notifying Eisai and paying an extension fee equal to $10 million. Either party may terminate the license agreement upon written notice if the other party is in material breach of the agreement, subject to cure within the designated time periods. Either party also may terminate the license agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party files for bankruptcy or takes related actions or is unable to pay its debts as they become due. Additionally, either party will have the right to terminate the agreement if the other party directly or indirectly challenges the patentability, enforceability or validity of any licensed patent.

 

Under the purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s, we are required to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make commercially available products in the CTCL indication, peripheral T-cell lymphoma indication and immuno-oncology indication, (ii) initiate two investigator initiated immuno-oncology trials (both of which have been initiated), (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve each of the approval milestones, and (iv) complete each specified immuno-oncology investigator trial on or before the four-year anniversary of the effective date of the definitive agreement. Additionally, we are required to commercially launch a product in a territory within six months of receiving regulatory approval for such product in each such jurisdiction.

 

8

 

 

As part of the definitive agreement with Dr. Reddy’s, Citius Pharmaceuticals acquired method of use patents in which LYMPHIR is administered in combination with the programmed cell death protein 1 (“PD-1”) pathway inhibitor drug class. PD-1 plays a vital role in inhibiting immune responses and promoting self-tolerance through modulating the activity of T-cells, activating apoptosis of antigen-specific T cells and inhibiting apoptosis of regulatory T cells.

 

The following patents were acquired and subsequently transferred to us:

 

  US Provisional Application No. 63/070,645, which was filed on August 26, 2020, and subsequently published as US 2022/0062390 A1 on March 3, 2022, entitled Methods of Treating Cancer.

 

  International Patent Application Number: PCT/IB2021/0576733, which was filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization on August 23, 2021, and subsequently published as WO 2022/043863 A1 on March 3, 2022, entitled, Combination for Use in Methods of Treating Cancer.

  

Upon FDA approval of LYMPHIR in August 2024, the Company was subject to approval milestone payments totaling $33.4 million. The $33.4 million was recorded as in-process research and development asset and will be subject to amortization over the regulatory exclusivity period commencing upon revenue generation.

 

6. STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY

 

Authorized Capital Stock

 

The certificate of incorporation adopted on August 5, 2024, in connection with the Merger, authorized 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares are common stock with a par value of $0.0001, and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001. On April 7, 2025, pursuant to Board and stockholder approval, the Company amended its Certificate of Amendment to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares.

 

Stock Plans

 

Under the 2023 Citius Oncology Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, adopted on April 29, 2023, we reserved 15,000,000 common shares for issuance. On August 2, 2024, we reserved an additional 15,000,000 common shares for issuance under the 2024 Citius Oncology Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. The stock plans provide incentives to employees, directors, and consultants through grants of options, SARs, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other rights.

 

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Volatility is estimated using the trading activity of Citius Pharmaceuticals common stock until such time as we have sufficient history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant commensurate with the expected term assumption. The expected term of stock options granted to employees and directors, all of which qualify as “plain vanilla,” is based on the average of the contractual term (generally 10 years) and the vesting period. For non-employee options, the expected term is the contractual term.

Business

 

Citius Oncology is a specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative targeted oncology therapies. We are commercializing LYMPHIR (denileukin diftitox), an oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. LYMPHIR was approved by the FDA in August 2024.

 

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 1, 2021, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. In August 2024, we reincorporated in Delaware and completed the Merger whereby we acquired SpinCo as a wholly owned subsidiary and changed our name to Citius Oncology, Inc. SpinCo began operations in April 2022.

 

Since inception, we devoted substantially all of our efforts to business planning, research and development, and recruiting management and technical staff. The Company is subject to a number of risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing, risks related to the development by the Company or our competitors of research and development stage products, market acceptance of our approved products, competition from larger companies, dependence on key personnel, dependence on key suppliers and strategic partners and the Company’s compliance with governmental and other regulations.

  

License Agreement with Eisai

 

In September 2021, Citius Pharma entered into an asset purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s and a license agreement with Eisai to acquire an exclusive license of E7777 (denileukin diftitox), an oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Citius Pharma renamed E7777 as I/ONTAK and also obtained the trade name LYMPHIRTM for the product. Citius Pharma assigned these agreements to us effective April 1, 2022. Denileukin diftitox is referred to in this report as E7777, I/ONTAK or LYMPHIR, depending on the period of time and context that is being discussed.

 

Under the terms of these agreements, Citius Pharma acquired Dr. Reddy’s exclusive license for E7777 from Eisai and other related assets owned by Dr. Reddy’s which are now owned by us. The exclusive license rights include rights to develop and commercialize E7777 in all markets except for Japan and certain parts of Asia. Additionally, we retained an option on the right to develop and market the product in India. Eisai retains exclusive development and marketing rights for the agent in Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, India (subject to the India option prior to FDA approval), Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Mongolia, and Papua New Guinea. Citius Pharma paid Dr. Reddy’s a $40 million upfront payment, which represents the acquisition date fair value of the in-process research and development acquired from Dr. Reddy’s. Dr. Reddy’s is entitled to up to $40 million in development milestone payments related to CTCL approvals in the U.S. and other markets, up to $70 million in development milestones for additional indications, as well as commercial milestone payments and low double-digit tiered royalties on net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%) and up to $300 million for commercial sales milestones. We also must pay on a fiscal quarter basis tiered royalties equal to low double-digit percentages of net product sales (within a range of 10% to 15%). The royalties will end on the earlier of (i) the 15-year anniversary of the first commercial sale of the latest indication that received regulatory approval in the applicable country and (ii) the date on which a biosimilar product results in the reduction of net sales in the applicable product by 50% in two consecutive quarters, as compared to the four quarters prior to the first commercial sale of the biosimilar product. We will also pay to Dr. Reddy’s an amount equal to a low-thirties percentage of any sublicense upfront consideration or milestone payments (or the like) received by us and the greater of (i) a low-thirties percentage of any sublicensee sales-based royalties or (ii) a mid-single digit percentage of such licensee’s net sales. Citius Pharma is a guarantor of Citius Oncology’s payment obligations under these agreements.

At the time of the FDA approval for LYMPHIR, a $27.5 million milestone payment became payable to Dr. Reddy’s under the terms of the asset purchase agreement for which a balance of $22.5 million remains due as of June 30. 2025. Pending further discussions with Dr. Reddy’s, Dr. Reddy’s agreed to a partial deferral without penalty of this milestone payment.

 

Under the license agreement, Eisai was to receive a $5.9 million milestone payment, upon FDA approval which is included in license payable at June 30, 2025, and additional commercial milestone payments related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds and an aggregate of up to $22 million related to the achievement of net product sales thresholds. We were also required to reimburse Eisai for up to $2.65 million of its costs to complete the Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for LYMPHIR for the CTCL indication and reimburse Eisai for all reasonable costs associated with the preparation of a BLA for LYMPHIR. Eisai was responsible for completing the CTCL clinical trial, and CMC activities through the filing of a BLA for LYMPHIR with the FDA. The BLA was approved by the FDA on August 8, 2024. The Company will be responsible for development costs associated with potential additional indications.

 

On March 28, 2025, Citius Oncology and Eisai entered into a letter agreement that amended the license agreement to provide for a payment schedule to Eisai for the milestone payment and certain unpaid invoices. Citius Oncology has agreed to pay Eisai on or before July 15, 2025, an aggregate amount of $2,535,318 and thereafter on the 15th of each of the next four months to pay Eisai $2,350,000 and make a final payment of $2,197,892 to Eisai on or before December 15, 2025, in each case with interest on each obligation from its original due date through the date of actual payment under the letter agreement at the rate of 2% per annum. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 we recorded $160,755 in interest expense under the agreement. The parties released each other from any and all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses that arise from or related to the failure of Citius Oncology to pay the milestone payment or the other incurred costs under the license agreement except for any claims arising out of a breach of the letter agreement. All other terms of the license agreement remain in full force and effect. On July 15, 2025, we paid Eisai $2,535,318 plus accrued interest of $172,371.

 

The term of the license agreement will continue until (i) March 30, 2026, if there has not been a commercial sale of a licensed product in the territory, or (ii) if there has been a first commercial sale of a licensed product in the territory by March 30, 2026, the 10-year anniversary of the first commercial sale on a country-by-country basis. The term of the license may be extended for additional 10-year periods for all countries in the territory by notifying Eisai and paying an extension fee equal to $10 million. Either party may terminate the license agreement upon written notice if the other party is in material breach of the agreement, subject to cure within the designated time periods. Either party also may terminate the license agreement immediately upon written notice if the other party files for bankruptcy or takes related actions or is unable to pay its debts as they become due. Additionally, either party will have the right to terminate the agreement if the other party directly or indirectly challenges the patentability, enforceability or validity of any licensed patent.

 

Under the purchase agreement with Dr. Reddy’s, we are required to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make commercially available products in the CTCL indication, peripheral T-cell lymphoma indication and immuno-oncology indication, (ii) initiate two investigator initiated immuno-oncology trials (both of which have been initiated), (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve each of the approval milestones, and (iv) complete each specified immuno-oncology investigator trial on or before the four-year anniversary of the effective date of the definitive agreement. Additionally, we are required to commercially launch a product in a territory within six months of receiving regulatory approval for such product in each such jurisdiction.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity and Working Capital

 

Citius Oncology has incurred operating losses since inception and incurred a net loss of $19,764,713 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $59,043,300. The Company has no revenue and has relied on funding from Citius Pharma to finance its operations. At June 30, 2025, we had $112 in cash and a negative working capital of approximately $34.7 million. 

 

We need to obtain substantial additional financing in order to satisfy our outstanding milestone payment obligations, as well as meet minimum purchase commitments under our agreements for the manufacture and supply of our drug product, and cannot be sure that any additional funding will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s outstanding milestone payments and purchase commitments for 2025 include:

 

  We have agreed to pay Eisai on or before July 15, 2025, an aggregate amount of $2,535,318 and thereafter on the 15th of each of the next four months $2,350,000 and make a final payment of $2,197,892 to Eisai on or before December 15, 2025, in each case with interest on each obligation from its original due date through the date of actual payment under the letter agreement at the rate of 2% per annum. On July 15, 2025, Citius Pharma made a payment of $1,091,167.12 to Eisai for the outstanding milestone approval fee and accumulated interest associated with the letter agreement.  On July 21, 2025, Citius Oncology made a payment to Eisai of $1,616,521.96 for certain other invoices and accumulated interest associated with the letter agreement.

  At the time of the FDA approval for LYMPHIR, a $27.5 million milestone payment became payable to Dr. Reddy’s under the terms of the asset purchase agreement for which a balance of $22.5 million remains due as of June 30, 2025. Pending further discussions with Dr. Reddy’s, Dr. Reddy’s agreed to a partial deferral without penalty of this milestone payment.  On July 10, 2025, Citius Pharma made a payment of $1,000,000 to Dr. Reddy’s against the outstanding milestone approval fee.  On July 28, 2025, Citius Oncology made a payment of $1,250,000 to Dr. Reddy’s against the outstanding milestone approval fee.

 

  We have entered into an agreement with a contract manufacturing organization for the manufacture and supply of drug substance. Under this agreement, the Company is obligated to purchase minimum annual quantities of batches at a set price per batch, subject to annual increases. As of June 30, 2025, the total minimum purchase commitment under this agreement was approximately $18.3 million, consisting of payments of $11.9 million and $5.4 million for calendar years 2025 and 2026, respectively, and $1.0 million for 2026 pass-throughs and consumable manufacturing components.

 

  As of June 30, 2025, the Company also has commercial supply agreements with two other vendors for the completion and packaging of finished drug products. Minimum purchase commitments under these two agreements amount to approximately $4.5 million consisting of purchase commitment obligations of $2.9 million in calendar years 2025 and $1.6 million in 2026.

 

We plan to continue to rely on funding from Citius Pharma, to raise capital through equity financings from outside investors and to generate revenue from the future sales of LYMPHIR. We also have retained Jefferies LLC as our exclusive financial advisor in evaluating strategic alternatives aimed at maximizing shareholder value. There is no assurance, however, that Citius Pharma will have the resources to continue funding us, that we will be successful in raising the needed capital and, if funding is available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to us or that we will find strategic partners or generate substantial revenue from the sale of LYMPHIR.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, Citius Pharma received net proceeds from equity offerings of approximately $10.5 million.

 

On July 17, 2025, we completed a public offering of 6,818,182 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 6,818,182 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $9,000,000. The shares and warrants were sold at a per unit price of $1.32. The immediately exercisable five-year warrants have an exercise price of $1.32 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $9.0 million and net proceeds were approximately $7.44 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

 

After giving effect to the Citius Pharma equity offerings during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and our July 2025 public offering, we expect that we and Citius Pharma collectively will have sufficient funds to continue our operations through September 2025. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our operations beyond September 2025, including to complete the launch of LYMPHIR. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in raising the needed capital or that the proceeds will be received in an amount or in a timely manner to support our operations.

Inflation

 

Our management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recorded during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience, where applicable, and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our critical accounting policies and use of estimates are discussed in, and should be read in conjunction with, the annual consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on December 27, 2024, as amended on January 27, 2025.

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2025. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. As of June 30, 2025, based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
