PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Aytu BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date because it requires additional time to compile the necessary information to finalize its financial statements and disclosures to be included in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company is working diligently to complete and file the 2023 Form 10-K as soon as practicable and anticipates that it will file the 2023 Form 10-K within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company’s results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2023 were described in its press release dated September 27, 2023. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2023, it concluded that it had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to its analysis for the accounting for valuation of its inventory. At year end, it was determined that the analysis of over/under absorbed manufacturing costs was not performed, which could have led to material misstatement of the financial statements.
