The company believes existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements for at least the next **three years**, including funding nefy's commercial launch if approved[172](index=172&type=chunk) [Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk](index=37&type=section&id=Item%203.%20Quantitative%20and%20Qualitative%20Disclosures%20About%20Market%20Risk) As a "smaller reporting company," ARS Pharmaceuticals is exempt from providing quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk - The company is exempt from this disclosure requirement due to its status as a "smaller reporting company"[184](index=184&type=chunk) [Controls and Procedures](index=37&type=section&id=Item%204.%20Controls%20and%20Procedures) Management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023, with no material changes in internal control over financial reporting -

Amphastar Pharmaceuticals appealed a USPTO decision upholding claims of the company's '414 patent covering nefy, with a Federal Circuit decision expected in **2024**[98](index=98&type=chunk) - Aera A/S filed an opposition with the European Patent Office against the company's EP '649 patent for a nasal spray epinephrine formulation[99](index=99&type=chunk) [Risk Factors](index=38&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) This section outlines significant risks, including dependence on nefy, the FDA's Complete Response Letter, future capital needs, reliance on third parties, market acceptance and reimbursement challenges, and ongoing patent litigation [Risks Related to Financial Position and Capital Needs](index=38&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Financial%20Position%20and%20Need%20for%20Capital) The company, a clinical-stage entity, faces ongoing losses with a **$124.1 million** accumulated deficit, and while current cash is sufficient for three years, additional capital for commercialization may be needed, risking dilution - The company has incurred significant losses since inception, with a **$47.2 million** net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and an accumulated deficit of **$124.1 million**[190](index=190&type=chunk) - The company's business depends entirely on the success of its sole product candidate, nefy; failure to gain regulatory approval and commercialize it would materially harm the business[195](index=195&type=chunk)[207](index=207&type=chunk) - While current cash is expected to fund operations for at least **three years**, significant additional capital may be required for nefy's launch and commercialization, potentially on unfavorable terms[197](index=197&type=chunk)[201](index=201&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Product Development](index=42&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20the%20Development%20of%20nefy%20or%20Any%20Future%20Product%20Candidates) Primary development risks include regulatory approval uncertainty, highlighted by the FDA's CRL for nefy, potential clinical trial delays or failures, non-acceptance of the 505(b)(2) pathway, and the emergence of undesirable side effects - The FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) for the nefy NDA, requesting an additional study, which will delay potential commercialization and offers no guarantee of approval upon resubmission[206](index=206&type=chunk) - Reliance on the Section 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway is a risk; a different FDA-required pathway would significantly increase approval time and cost[221](index=221&type=chunk)[223](index=223&type=chunk) - Potential competitors, including Bryn Pharma, Nasus Pharma, and Amphastar, are developing intranasal epinephrine products, which could reduce nefy's commercial opportunity[246](index=246&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Dependence on Third Parties](index=57&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Dependence%20on%20Third%20Parties) The company relies entirely on third parties for manufacturing (e.g., Renaissance), clinical trials (CROs), and international commercialization (e.g., Alfresa Pharma, Pediatrix), creating risks of supply shortages, development delays, and limited control over partner performance - The company relies on third parties, primarily Renaissance Lakewood LLC, for nefy's manufacturing and supply, creating dependence on a single source due to its lack of internal capabilities[267](index=267&type=chunk)[268](index=268&type=chunk) - The company depends on Contract Research Organizations (CROs) for clinical trials; their failure to perform could delay or jeopardize development programs[270](index=270&type=chunk) - International commercialization outside the U.S. relies on partners like Alfresa Pharma (Japan) and Pediatrix Therapeutics (China), whose non-performance could adversely affect the business[273](index=273&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Commercialization](index=61&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Commercialization%20of%20nefy%20or%20Any%20Future%20Product%20Candidates) Commercialization risks include the company's lack of experience, the uncertainty of market acceptance for nefy, challenges in securing adequate reimbursement from payors, and compliance with complex healthcare laws - The company has limited marketing, sales, and distribution infrastructure, requiring expensive and time-consuming development to commercialize nefy successfully if approved[279](index=279&type=chunk) - Even if approved, nefy may fail to gain market acceptance from physicians, patients, and payors, who might prefer established injectable products[293](index=293&type=chunk) - Commercial success depends heavily on obtaining favorable coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, which is uncertain and subject to pricing pressures[305](index=305&type=chunk) [Risks Related to Intellectual Property](index=72&type=section&id=Risks%20Related%20to%20Our%20Intellectual%20Property) Commercial success depends on defending intellectual property, as nefy's patents face ongoing legal challenges in the U.S. and Europe, potentially inadequate patent terms, and risks of costly third-party infringement lawsuits - The company's patents face ongoing legal challenges, including a U.S. Inter Partes Review appeal and a European opposition proceeding, risking loss of patent protection[345](index=345&type=chunk)[373](index=373&type=chunk) - Nefy's co-owned or licensed patents are expected to expire as early as **2038**, and if approved via the 505(b)(2) pathway, they will not be eligible for patent term restoration, risking earlier generic competition[360](index=360&type=chunk) - The company may face costly litigation for infringing third-party intellectual property rights, potentially preventing or delaying nefy's commercialization[368](index=368&type=chunk) [Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds](index=93&type=section&id=Item%202.%20Unregistered%20Sales%20of%20Equity%20Securities%20and%20Use%20of%20Proceeds) This section details the use of **$255.3 million** net proceeds from the December 2020 IPO, with **$143.3 million** utilized by September 30, 2023, for product development, merger costs, and general corporate purposes -
