SANUWAVE HEALTH, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
March 31, 2018
1. Nature of
the Business
SANUWAVE Health,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a shock wave technology company using a
patented system of noninvasive, high-energy, acoustic shock waves
for regenerative medicine and other applications. The
Company’s initial focus is regenerative medicine –
utilizing noninvasive, acoustic shock waves to produce a biological
response resulting in the body healing itself through the repair
and regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular
structures. The Company’s lead regenerative product in the
United States is the dermaPACE® device, used
for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two
double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December
28, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) notified the Company to permit the marketing of
the dermaPACE System for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in
the United States.
The Company’s portfolio of healthcare
products and product candidates activate biologic signaling and
angiogenic responses, including new vascularization and
microcirculatory improvement, helping to restore the body’s
normal healing processes and regeneration. The Company intends to
apply its Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE®)
technology in wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and
cardiac conditions. In 2018, the Company has started marketing the
dermaPACE System for sale in the United States and will continue to
generate revenue from sales of the European Conformity Marking (CE
Mark) devices and accessories in Europe, Canada, Asia and
Asia/Pacific.
2. Going Concern
The
Company does not currently generate significant recurring revenue
and will require additional capital during the second and third
quarters of 2018. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $110,828,039 and cash and cash equivalents of $154,205. For
the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the net cash used
by operating activities was $1,848,565 and $114,884, respectively.
The Company incurred a net loss of $5,856,655 for the three months
ended March 31, 2018 and a net loss of $5,537,936 for the year
ended December 31, 2017. The operating losses and the Events of
Default on the Note payable, product, related party (see Note 10)
and Notes payable, related parties (see Note 11) create an
uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern.
The continuation of the Company’s business
is dependent upon raising additional capital during the second and
third quarters of 2018 to fund operations. Management’s plans
are to obtain additional capital in 2018 through investments by
strategic partners for market opportunities, which may include
strategic partnerships or licensing arrangements, or raise capital
through the conversion of outstanding warrants, the issuance of
common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common
stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the
extent available, may be on terms that result in significant
dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders.
Although no assurances can be given, management of the Company
believes that potential additional issuances of equity or other
potential financing transactions as discussed above should provide
the necessary funding for the Company to continue as a going
concern. If these efforts are
unsuccessful, the Company may be forced to seek relief through a
filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the
information and footnotes required by United States generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. The financial information as of March 31, 2018 and
for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three month period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for any other
interim period or for the year ending December 31,
2018.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has
been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes
required by United States generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
For
further information and a summary of significant accounting
policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC
on March 29, 2018.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
New
accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Standards
Board (“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies that
the Company adopts according to the various timetables the FASB
specifies. The Company does not expect the adoption of recently
issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on
the Company’s results of operations, financial position or
cash flow.
In May
2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all
existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core
principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised
goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be
entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five
step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more
judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue
recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The
standard was declared effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the
following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective method,
which requires the standard to be applied to each prior period
presented, or (ii) a modified retrospective method, which requires
the cumulative effect of adoption to be recognized as an adjustment
to the opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. In July
2015, the FASB confirmed a one-year delay in the effective date of
ASU 2014-09, making the effective date for the Company the first
quarter of fiscal 2018 instead of the previous effective date,
which was the first quarter of fiscal 2017. This one year deferral
was issued by the FASB in ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606). The Company adopted the new standard on a modified
retrospective basis as of January 1, 2018. The Company completed an
assessment of customer contracts and concluded that the adoption of
this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed,
consolidated financial statements; therefore, no cumulative
catch-up adjustment was recorded to prior periods. The disclosures
related to revenue recognition have been significantly expanded
under the standard, specifically around the quantitative and
qualitative information about performance obligations and
disaggregation of revenue. The expanded disclosure requirements are
included in this Form 10-Q (see Notes 6 and 17).
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires
lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. The
provisions of this guidance are effective for the annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those
years, with early adoption permitted. Management is evaluating the
requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact
of the adoption on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of
Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230). This
ASU will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash
payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash
flows. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017. This standard will require adoption on a
retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which
case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as
of the earliest date practicable. The new standard was adopted
during the first quarter of 2018 using a retrospective transition
method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
impact on our financial statements.
In July
2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480): Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite
Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of
Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable
Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of
this ASU addresses the complexity and reporting burden associated
with the accounting for freestanding and embedded instruments with
down round features as liabilities subject to fair value
measurement. Part II of this ASU addresses the difficulty of
navigating Topic 480. Part I of this ASU will be effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is
permitted for an entity in an interim or annual period. Management
is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet
determined the impact of the pending adoption on the
Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU
2018-02, Reclassification of Certain
Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income. This ASU requires
reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to
retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act (the"TCJA"). The amount of the reclassification
is the difference between the historical 35% corporate income tax
rate and the newly enacted 21% corporate income tax rate. Because
the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income
tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance
that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws of rates be
included in income from continuing operations is not affected. This
ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018. Early adoption is permitted. In addition, the TCJA caused deferred taxes to be
reduced using the lower 21% federal tax rate. The impact of
the newly enacted 21% corporate income tax rate of the TCJA was a
$11.1 million adjustment to the gross deferred tax assets which was
offset by the same adjustment to the valuation allowance at
December 31, 2017.

Convertible
promissory notes (continued)
The 10% Convertible Promissory Notes have a six
month term from the subscription date and the note holders can
convert the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes at any time during the

“Common Stock”), equal to the amount obtained by
dividing (i) the amount of the unpaid principal and interest on the
note by (ii) $0.11.
The 10% Convertible Promissory Notes include a
warrant agreement (the “Class N Warrant Agreement”) to
purchase Common Stock equal to the amount obtained by dividing the

13,599,999 and 909,091 respectively, Class N Warrants in connection
with the closings of 10% Convertible Promissory Notes.
Pursuant to the
terms of a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration

accredited investors in connection with the 10% Convertible
Promissory Notes, the Company is required to file a registration
statement that covers the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the 10% Convertible Promissory Notes or upon exercise
of the Class N Warrants. The failure on the part of the Company to

Notes
payable, related parties
The
notes payable, related parties were issued in conjunction with the
Company’s purchase of the orthopedic division of
HealthTronics, Inc. on August 1, 2005. The notes payable, related
parties bear interest at 6% per annum. Quarterly interest through
June 30, 2010, was accrued and added to the principal balance.
Interest was paid quarterly in arrears beginning September 30,
2010. All remaining unpaid accrued interest and principal was
originally due August 1, 2015.
On June
15, 2015, the Company and HealthTronics, Inc. entered into an
amendment (the “Note Amendment”) to amend certain
provisions of the notes payable, related parties. The Note Amendment provides for the extension of
the due date to January 31, 2017. In connection with the
Note Amendment, the Company entered into a security agreement with
HealthTronics, Inc. to provide a first security interest in the
assets of the Company. The notes payable,
related parties bear interest at 8% per annum effective August 1,
2015 and during any period when an Event of Default occurs, the
applicable interest rate shall increase by 2% per annum. Events of
Default under the notes payable, related parties have occurred and
are continuing on account of the failure of SANUWAVE, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and
the borrower under the notes payable, related parties, to make the
required payments of interest which were due on December 31, 2016,
March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017, September 30, 2017, and December 31,
2017 (collectively, the “Defaults”). As a result of the
Defaults, the notes payable, related parties have been accruing
interest at the rate of 10% per annum since January 2, 2017 and
continue to accrue interest at such rate. The Company will be
required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on the notes
payable, related parties equal to 20% of the proceeds received by
the Company through the issuance or sale of any equity securities
in cash or through the licensing of the Company’s patents or
other intellectual property rights.
On June
28, 2016, the Company and HealthTronics, Inc. entered into a second
amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to amend certain
provisions of the notes payable, related parties. The Second
Amendment provides for the extension of the due date to January 31,
2018.
On
August 3, 2017, the Company and HealthTronics, Inc. entered into a
third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to amend
certain provisions of the notes payable, related parties. The Third
Amendment provides for the extension of the due date to December
31, 2018, revision of the mandatory prepayment provisions and the
future issuance of additional warrants to HealthTronics upon
certain conditions.
The
notes payable, related parties had an aggregate outstanding
principal balance of $5,260,243, net of $112,500 debt discount at
March 31, 2018 and $5,222,259, net of $150,484 debt discount at

In
addition, the Company, in connection with the Note Amendment,
issued to HealthTronics, Inc. on June 15, 2015, a total of
3,310,000 warrants (the “Class K Warrants”) to purchase
shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.55 per share,
subject to certain anti-dilution protection. Each Class K Warrant
represents the right to purchase one share of Common Stock. The
warrants vested upon issuance and expire after ten years.
The fair value of these warrants on
the date of issuance was $0.0112 and $36,989 was recorded as a debt
discount to be amortized over the life of the
amendment.
In
addition, the Company, in connection with the Second Amendment,
issued to HealthTronics, Inc. on June 28, 2016, an additional
1,890,000 Class K Warrants to purchase shares of the
Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per
share, subject to certain anti-dilution protection. The exercise
price of the 3,310,000 Class K Warrants issued on June 15, 2015 was
decreased to $0.08 per share. The fair
value of these warrants on the date of issuance was $0.005 and
$9,214 was recorded as a debt discount to be amortized over the
life of the amendment.
In
addition, the Company, in connection with the Third Amendment,
issued to HealthTronics, Inc. on August 3, 2017, an additional
2,000,000 Class K Warrants to purchase shares of the
Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per
share, subject to certain anti-dilution protection. The fair value of these warrants on the date of
issuance was $0.10 per warrant and $200,000 was recorded as a debt
discount to be amortized over the life of the
amendment.
Accrued
interest currently payable totaled $685,907 at March 31, 2018 and
December 31, 2017. Interest expense on notes payable, related
parties totaled $189,211 and $140,178 for the three months ended
March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
As of
January 2, 2017, we are in default with our interest payment and
the note is callable by HealthTronics, Inc. The notes payable,
related parties are shown as a current liability.
The
Company files income tax returns in the United States federal
jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The
Company is no longer subject to United States federal and state and
non-United States income tax examinations by tax authorities for
years before 2014.
At
March 31, 2018, the Company had federal net operating loss
(“NOL”) carryforwards for tax years through the year
ended December 31, 2017, that will begin to expire in 2025. The use
of deferred tax assets, including federal NOLs, is limited to
future taxable earnings. Based on the required analysis of future
taxable income under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company’s
management believes that there is not sufficient evidence at March
31, 2018 indicating that the results of operations will generate
sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax asset in
years beyond 2018. As a result, a valuation allowance was provided
for the entire net deferred tax asset related to future years,
including NOL carryforwards.
The
Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards could be
limited and subject to annual limitations. In connection with
future offerings, the Company may realize a “more than 50%
change in ownership” which could further limit its ability to
use its NOL carryforwards accumulated to date to reduce future
taxable income and tax liabilities. Additionally, because United
States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carryforwards may
be applied against future taxable income and tax liabilities, the
Company may not be able to take advantage of all or portions of its
NOL carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

The
exercise price of the Class K Warrants and the Series A Warrants
are subject to a “down-round” anti-dilution adjustment
if the Company issues or is deemed to have issued certain
securities at a price lower than the then applicable exercise price
of the warrants. The exercise price of the Series A Warrants
was adjusted to $0.0334 due to the 2016 Equity Offering. The Class
K Warrants may be exercised on a physical settlement or on a
cashless basis. The Series A Warrants may be exercised on a
physical settlement basis if a registration statement underlying
the warrants is effective. If a registration statement is not
effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for
use) for the resale by the holder of the Series A Warrants, then
the holder may exercise the warrants on a cashless
basis.

March 31, 2018
The
Class K Warrants, the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants
are derivative financial instruments. The estimated fair value of
the Class K Warrants at the date of grant was $36,989 and recorded
as debt discount, which is accreted to interest expense through the
maturity date of the related notes payable, related parties. The
estimated fair values of the Series A Warrants and the Series B
Warrants at the date of grant were $557,733 for the warrants issued
in conjunction with the 2014 Private Placement and $47,974 for the
warrants issued in conjunction with the 18% Convertible Promissory
Notes. The fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B
Warrants were recorded as equity issuance costs in 2014, a
reduction of additional paid-in capital. The Series B Warrants
expired unexercised in March 2015.
The
estimated fair values were determined using a binomial option
pricing model based on various assumptions. The
Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect
estimated fair value at each period end, with any decrease or
increase in the estimated fair value being recorded in other income
or expense accordingly, as adjustments to the fair value of
derivative liabilities. Various factors are considered in the
pricing models the Company uses to value the warrants, including
the Company’s current common stock price, the remaining life
of the warrants, the volatility of the Company’s common stock
price, and the risk-free interest rate. In addition, as of
the valuation dates, management assessed the probabilities of
future financing and other re-pricing events in the binominal
valuation models.

Care, Inc., and whereby the Company has the right and option to

Wound Care, Inc., in each case based upon certain defined purchase
price provisions and other terms.
Litigation
The
Company is engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims
related to breach of contracts and intellectual property matters
resulting from our business activities. As with most actions such
as these, an estimation of any possible and/or ultimate liability
cannot always be determined.
There
are no material proceedings known to us to be contemplated by any
governmental authority.
There
are no material proceedings known to us, pending or contemplated,
in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any of our
principal security holders, or any associate of any of the
foregoing, is a party or has an interest adverse to
us.
The
Company began accounting for revenue in accordance with Topic 606,
which we adopted beginning January 1, 2018, using the modified
retrospective method. Under the new revenue standard for
arrangements that are determined to be within the scope of Topic
606, the Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control
of the promised goods. To achieve this core principle, we apply the
following the five-step model:
1.
Identify the
contract(s) with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when
(i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that
defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be
transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these
goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we
determine that collection of substantially all consideration for
services that are transferred is probable based on the
customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised
consideration. We do not have significant costs to obtain contracts
with customers.
2.
Identify the
performance obligation(s) in the contract. Our contracts include
multiple performance obligations to be completed. Our performance
obligations to deliver medical devices and related components are
completed when shipment of these items has been made to the
customer. Other performance obligations are completed over a period
of time. Limited warranties are provided and extended warranties
are offered, under which we typically accept returns and provide
either replacement parts or refunds.
3.
Determine the
transaction price. Payment by the customer is due under customary
fixed payment terms, and we evaluate if collectability is
reasonably assured. The methodology for which we estimate and
recognize variable consideration is consistent with the
requirements of ASC 606. Revenue is recorded at the net sales
prices, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as
initial warranty, tiered volume pricing, and other adjustments as
noted in customer contracts. The estimates of variable
consideration are based on historical and projected sales data and
current contract sales terms.
4.
Allocate the
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Our contracts include multiple performance obligations to be
completed. We recognize revenue upon shipment of medical devices
and related components to the customer. We recognize revenue for
services over the period of time of the service.
5.
Recognize revenue
when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. We
satisfy performance obligations at a point in time upon shipment of
goods. We satisfy service related performance obligations over a
period of time. Each performance obligation is satisfied in
accordance with the terms of each contract with the
customer.
There
were changes to judgments that affect the determination of the
amount and timing of revenue from the adoption of the new guidance.
As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company has recorded
Contract assets and Contract liabilities. Contract assets primarily
represent the difference between the revenue that was earned but
not billed on refurbishment license fees and timing difference on
revenue from distribution license that is recognized on a
straight-line basis but paid in accordance with the terms of the
customer contract. Contract liabilities are primarily related to
warranties, service contracts, distribution license and tiered
volume pricing on medical devices and refurbishment license
fee. The revenue recognized under ASC 606 was immaterially
different from the revenue recognized under ASC
605.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The
disaggregation of revenue is based on type of product and
geographical region. The following table presents revenue from
contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2018

Stock-based
compensation
On
November 1, 2010, the Company approved the Amended and Restated
2006 Stock Incentive Plan of SANUWAVE Health, Inc. effective as of
January 1, 2010 (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock
Incentive Plan permits grants of awards to selected employees,
directors and advisors of the Company in the form of restricted
stock or options to purchase shares of common stock. Options
granted may include non-statutory options as well as qualified
incentive stock options. The Stock Incentive Plan is administered
by the board of directors of the Company. The Stock Incentive Plan
gives broad powers to the board of directors of the Company to
administer and interpret the particular form and conditions of each
option. The stock options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan
are non-statutory options which generally vest over a period of up
to three years and have a ten year term. The options are granted at
an exercise price determined by the board of directors of the
Company to be the fair market value of the common stock on the date
of the grant. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Stock
Incentive Plan reserved 22,500,000 shares of common stock for
grant.
On June
15, 2017, the Company granted to the active employees, members of
the board of directors and members of the Company’s Medical
Advisory Board options to purchase 5,550,000 shares each of the
Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per

Earnings
(loss) per share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share
in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per
Share. Under the
provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per share is
computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common
stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the
period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed
by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and dilutive common stock equivalents then
outstanding. To the extent that securities are
“anti-dilutive,” they are excluded from the calculation
of diluted net income (loss) per share.
As a
result of the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018
and 2017, all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and
therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per
share. The anti-dilutive equity securities totaled 132,174,660
shares and 92,323,468 shares at March 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the
related notes appearing elsewhere in this report, and together with
our audited consolidated financial statements, related notes and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018.
Overview
We are
a shock wave technology company
using a patented system of noninvasive, high-energy, acoustic shock
waves for regenerative medicine and other applications. Our initial
focus is regenerative medicine – utilizing noninvasive,
acoustic shock waves to produce a biological response resulting in
the body healing itself through the repair and regeneration of
tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular structures. Our lead
regenerative product in the United States is the
dermaPACE® device, used
for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which was subject to two
double-blinded, randomized Phase III clinical studies. On December
28, 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the
“FDA”) notified the Company to permit the marketing of
the dermaPACE System for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in
the United States.
Our
portfolio of healthcare products and product candidates activate
biologic signaling and angiogenic responses, including new
vascularization and microcirculatory improvement, helping to
restore the body’s normal healing processes and regeneration.
We intend to apply our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE®) technology in
wound healing, orthopedic, plastic/cosmetic and cardiac conditions.
In 2018, we have started marketing our dermaPACE System for sale in
the United States and will continue to generate revenue from sales
of the European Conformity Marking (CE Mark) devices and
accessories in Europe, Canada, Asia and Asia/Pacific.
We
believe we have demonstrated that our patented technology is safe
and effective in stimulating healing in chronic conditions of the
foot and the elbow through our United States FDA Class III PMA
approved OssaTron® device, and in
the stimulation of bone and chronic tendonitis regeneration in the
musculoskeletal environment through the utilization of our
OssaTron, Evotron®, and
orthoPACE® devices in
Europe and Asia. Our lead product candidate for the global wound
care market, dermaPACE, has received the CE Mark allowing for
commercial use on acute and chronic defects of the skin and
subcutaneous soft tissue.
We
are focused on developing our Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression
(PACE) technology to activate healing in:
●
wound
conditions, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and arterial
ulcers, pressure sores, burns and other skin eruption
conditions;
●
orthopedic
applications, such as eliminating chronic pain in joints from
trauma, arthritis or tendons/ligaments inflammation, speeding the
healing of fractures (including nonunion or delayed-union
conditions), improving bone density in osteoporosis, fusing bones
in the extremities and spine, and other potential sports injury
applications;
●
plastic/cosmetic
applications such as cellulite smoothing, graft and transplant
acceptance, skin tightening, scarring and other potential aesthetic
uses; and
●
cardiac
applications for removing plaque due to atherosclerosis improving
heart muscle performance.
In
addition to healthcare uses, our high-energy, acoustic pressure
shock waves, due to their powerful pressure gradients and localized
cavitational effects, may have applications in secondary and
tertiary oil exploitation, for cleaning industrial waters and food
liquids and finally for maintenance of industrial installations by
disrupting biofilms formation. Our business approach will be
through licensing and/or partnership opportunities.
Recent Developments
On
December 28, 2017, the FDA notified the Company to permit the
marketing of the dermaPACE system for the treatment of diabetic
foot ulcers in the United States.
On September 27, 2017, we entered into a binding
term sheet with MundiMed Distribuidora Hospitalar LTDA
(“MundiMed”), effective as
of September 25, 2017, for a joint venture for the manufacture,
sale and distribution of our dermaPACE device. Under the binding
term sheet, MundiMed will pay the Company an initial upfront
distribution fee, with monthly upfront distribution fees payable
thereafter over the following eighteen months. Profits from the
joint venture are distributed as follows: 45% to the Company, 45%
to MundiMed and 5% each to LHS Latina Health Solutions Gestão
Empresarial Ltda. and Universus Global Advisors LLC, who acted as
advisors in the transaction. The initial upfront distribution fee
was received on October 6, 2017.
On
February 13, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement for
Purchase and Sale, Limited Exclusive Distribution and Royalties,
and Servicing and Repairs with Premier Shockwave Wound Care, Inc.,
a Georgia Corporation (“PSWC”), and Premier Shockwave,
Inc., a Georgia Corporation (“PS”). The agreement
provides for the purchase by PSWC and PS of dermaPACE System and
related equipment sold by the Company and includes a minimum
purchase of 100 units over 3 years. The agreement grants PSWC and
PS limited but exclusive distribution rights to provide dermaPACE
Systems to certain governmental healthcare facilities in exchange
for the payment of certain royalties to the Company. Under the
agreement, the Company is responsible for the servicing and repairs
of such dermaPACE Systems and equipment. The agreement also
contains provisions whereby in the event of a change of control of
the Company (as defined in the agreement), the stockholders of PSWC
have the right and option to cause the Company to purchase all of
the stock of PSWC, and whereby the Company has the right and option
to purchase all issued and outstanding shares of PSWC, in each case
based upon certain defined purchase price provisions and other
terms. The agreement also contains certain transfer restrictions on
the stock of PSWC. Each of PS and PSWC is owned by A. Michael
Stolarski, a member of the Company’s board of directors and
an existing shareholder of the Company.
Clinical Trials and Marketing
The FDA
granted approval of our Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to
conduct two double-blinded, randomized clinical trials utilizing
our lead device product for the global wound care market, the
dermaPACE device, in the treatment of diabetic foot
ulcers.
The
dermaPACE system was evaluated using two studies under IDE G070103.
The studies were designed as prospective, randomized, double-blind,
parallel-group, sham-controlled, multi-center 24-week studies at 39
centers. A total of 336 subjects were enrolled and treated with
either dermaPACE plus conventional therapy or conventional therapy
(a.k.a. standard of care) alone. Conventional therapy included, but
was not limited to, debridement, saline-moistened gauze, and
pressure reducing footwear. The objective of the studies was to
compare the safety and efficacy of the dermaPACE device to
sham-control application. The prospectively defined primary
efficacy endpoint for the dermaPACE studies was the incidence of
complete wound closure at 12 weeks post-initial application of the
dermaPACE system (active or sham). Complete wound closure was
defined as skin re-epithelialization without drainage or dressing
requirements, confirmed over two consecutive visits within
12-weeks. If the wound was considered closed for the first time at
the 12 week visit, then the next visit was used to confirm closure.
Investigators continued to follow subjects and evaluate wound
closure through 24 weeks.
The dermaPACE device completed its initial Phase
III, IDE clinical trial in the United States for the treatment of
diabetic foot ulcers in 2011 and a PMA application was filed with
the FDA in July 2011. The patient enrollment for the second,
supplemental clinical trial began in June 2013. We completed
enrollment for the 130 patients in this second trial in November
2014 and suspended further enrollment at that time.
The
only significant difference between the two studies was the number
of applications of the dermaPACE device. Study one (DERM01; n=206)
prescribed four (4) device applications/treatments over a two-week
period, whereas, study two (DERM02; n=130) prescribed up to eight
(8) device applications (4 within the first two weeks of
randomization, and 1 treatment every two weeks thereafter up to a
total of 8 treatments over a 10-week period). If the wound was
determined closed by the PI during the treatment regimen, any
further planned applications were not performed.
Between
the two studies there were over 336 patients evaluated, with 172
patients treated with dermaPACE and 164 control group subjects with
use of a non-functional device (sham). Both treatment groups
received wound care consistent with the standard of care in
addition to device application. Study subjects were enrolled using
pre-determined inclusion/exclusion criteria in order to obtain a
homogenous study population with chronic diabetes and a diabetic
foot ulcer that has persisted a minimum of 30 days and its area is
between 1cm2 and 16cm2, inclusive. Subjects
were enrolled at Visit 1 and followed for a run-in period of two
weeks. At two weeks (Visit 2 – Day 0), the first treatment
was applied (either dermaPACE or Sham Control application).
Applications with either dermaPACE or Sham Control were then made
at Day 3 (Visit 3), Day 6 (Visit 4), and Day 9 (Visit 5) with the
potential for 4 additional treatments in Study 2. Subject progress
including wound size was then observed on a bi-weekly basis for up
to 24 weeks at a total of 12 visits (Weeks 2-24; Visits
6-17).
A total
of 336 patients were enrolled in the dermaPACE studies at 37 sites.
The patients in the studies were followed for a total of 24 weeks.
The studies’ primary endpoint, wound closure, was defined as
“successful” if the skin was 100% re-epithelialized at
12 weeks without drainage or dressing requirements confirmed at two
consecutive study visits.
A
summary of the key study findings were as follows:
●
Patients treated
with dermaPACE showed a strong positive trend in the primary
endpoint of 100% wound closure. Treatment with dermaPACE increased
the proportion of diabetic foot ulcers that closed within 12 weeks,
although the rate of complete wound closure between dermaPACE and
sham-control at 12 weeks in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population
was not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level used
throughout the study (p=0.320). There were 39 out of 172 (22.67%)
dermaPACE subjects who achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks
compared with 30 out of 164 (18.29%) sham-control
subjects.
●
In addition to the
originally proposed 12-week efficacy analysis, and in conjunction
with the FDA agreement to analyze the efficacy analysis carried
over the full 24 weeks of the study, we conducted a series of
secondary analyses of the primary endpoint of complete wound
closure at 12 weeks and at each subsequent study visit out to 24
weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint of complete wound closure
reached statistical significance at 20 weeks in the ITT population
with 61 (35.47%) dermaPACE subjects achieving complete wound
closure compared with 40 (24.39%) of sham-control subjects
(p=0.027). At the 24 week endpoint, the rate of wound closure in
the dermaPACE® cohort was 37.8% compared to 26.2% for the
control group, resulting in a p-value of 0.023.
●
Within 6 weeks
following the initial dermaPACE treatment, and consistently
throughout the 24-week period, dermaPACE significantly reduced the
size of the target ulcer compared with subjects randomized to
receive sham-control (p<0.05).
●
The proportion of
patients with wound closure indicate a statistically significant
difference between the dermaPACE and the control group in the
proportion of subjects with the target-ulcer not closed over the
course of the study (p-value=0.0346). Approximately 25% of
dermaPACE® subjects reached wound closure per the study
definition by day 84 (week 12). The same percentage in the control
group (25%) did not reach wound closure until day 112 (week 16).
These data indicate that in addition to the proportion of subjects
reaching wound closure being higher in the dermaPACE® group,
subjects are also reaching wound closure at a faster rate when
dermaPACE is applied.
●
dermaPACE
demonstrated superior results in the prevention of wound expansion
(≥ 10% increase in wound size), when compared to the control,
over the course of the study at 12 weeks (18.0% versus 31.1%;
p=0.005, respectively).
●
At 12 and 24 weeks,
the dermaPACE group had a higher percentage of subjects with a 50%
wound reduction compared to the control (p=0.0554 and p=0.0899,
respectively). Both time points demonstrate a trend towards
statistical significance.
●
The mean wound
reduction for dermaPACE subjects at 24 weeks was 2.10cm2 compared
to 0.83cm2 in the control group. There was a statistically
significant difference between the wound area reductions of the two
cohorts from the 6 week follow-up visit through the end of the
study.
●
Of the subjects who
achieved complete wound closure at 12 weeks, the recurrence rate at
24 weeks was only 7.7% in the dermaPACE group compared with 11.6%
in the sham-control group.
●
Importantly, there
were no meaningful statistical differences in the adverse event
rates between the dermaPACE treated patients and the sham-control
group. There were no issues regarding the tolerability of the
treatment which suggests that a second course of treatment, if
needed, is a clinically viable option.
We
retained Musculoskeletal Clinical Regulatory Advisers, LLC (MCRA)
in January 2015 to lead the Company’s interactions and
correspondence with the FDA for the dermaPACE, which have already
commenced. MCRA has successfully worked with the FDA on numerous
Premarket Approvals (PMAs) for various musculoskeletal, restorative
and general surgical devices since 2006.
Working
with MCRA, we submitted to FDA a de novo petition on July 23, 2016. Due
to the strong safety profile of our device and the efficacy of the
data showing statistical significance for wound closure for
dermaPACE subjects at 20 weeks, we believe that the dermaPACE
device should be considered for classification into Class II as
there is no legally marketed predicate device and there is not an
existing Class III classification regulation or one or more
approved PMAs (which would have required a reclassification under
Section 513(e) or (f)(3) of the FD&C Act). On December 28,
2017, the FDA determined that the criteria at section 513(a)(1)(A)
of (B) of the FD&C Act were met and granted the de novo clearance classifying dermaPACE
as Class II and available to be marketed immediately.
Finally, our
dermaPACE device has received the European CE Mark approval to
treat acute and chronic defects of the skin and subcutaneous soft
tissue, such as in the treatment of pressure ulcers, diabetic foot
ulcers, burns, and traumatic and surgical wounds. The dermaPACE is
also licensed for sale in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Korea.
We are
actively marketing the dermaPACE to the European Community, Canada
and Asia/Pacific, utilizing distributors in select
countries.
Financial
Overview
Since
inception in 2005, our operations have primarily been funded from
the sale of capital stock and convertible debt securities. We
expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of
the dermaPACE System and will continue to research and develop the
non-medical uses of the PACE technology, both of which will require
additional capital resources. We incurred a net loss of $5,856,655
for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $5,537,936 for the
year ended December 31, 2017. These operating losses create
uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon
raising additional capital during the second and third quarters of
2018 to fund operations. Management’s plans are to obtain
additional capital in 2018 through investments by strategic
partners for market opportunities, which may include strategic
partnerships or licensing arrangements, or raise capital through
the conversion of outstanding warrants, the issuance of common or
preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or
secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the extent
available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to
our existing shareholders. Although no assurances can be
given, management believes that potential additional issuances of
equity or other potential financing transactions as discussed above
should provide the necessary funding for us. If these efforts are unsuccessful, we may be
forced to seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and
classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Since
our inception, we have incurred losses from operations each year.
As of March 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of
$110,828,039. Although the size and timing of our future operating
losses are subject to significant uncertainty, we expect that
operating losses may continue over the next few years as we prepare
for the commercialization of the dermaPACE System for the treatment
of diabetic foot ulcers but if we are able to successfully
commercialize, market and distribute the dermaPACE System, then we
hope to partially or completely offset these losses within the next
few years. Although no assurances can be given, we believe that
potential additional issuances of equity, debt or other potential
financing, as discussed above, will provide the necessary funding
for us to continue as a going concern for the next
year.
We
cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing and costs of the
efforts necessary to complete the development and approval of, or
the period in which material net cash flows are expected to be
generated from, any of our products, due to the numerous risks and
uncertainties associated with developing products, including the
uncertainty of:
●
the scope, rate of
progress and cost of our clinical trials;
●
future clinical
trial results;
●
the cost and timing
of regulatory approvals;
●
the establishment
of successful marketing, sales and distribution;
●
the cost and timing
associated with establishing reimbursement for our
products;
●
the effects of
competing technologies and market developments; and
●
the industry demand
and patient wellness behavior.
Any
failure to complete the development of our product candidates in a
timely manner, or any failure to successfully market and
commercialize our product candidates, would have a material adverse
effect on our operations, financial position and liquidity. A
discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with us and
our business are set forth under the section entitled “Risk
Factors – Risks Related to Our Business” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed
with the SEC on March 29, 2018.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses.
On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments,
including those related to the recording of the allowances for
doubtful accounts, estimated reserves for inventory, estimated
useful life of property and equipment, the determination of the
valuation allowance for deferred taxes, the estimated fair value of
the warrant liability, and the estimated fair value of stock-based
compensation. We base our estimates on authoritative literature and
pronouncements, historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the
carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The
results of our operations for any historical period are not
necessarily indicative of the results of our operations for any
future period.
While
our significant accounting policies are more fully described in
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements filed with our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,
filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018, we believe that the following
accounting policies relating to revenue recognition, research and
development costs, inventory valuation, liabilities related to
warrants issued, stock-based compensation and income taxes are
significant and; therefore, they are important to aid you in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial
results.
Revenue Recognition
Sales
of medical devices, including related applicators and applicator
kits, are recognized when shipped to the customer. Shipments under
agreements with distributors are invoiced at a fixed price, are not
subject to return, and payment for these shipments is not
contingent on sales by the distributor. We recognize revenues on
shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other
customers. The initial warranty and extended warranty on the sale
of medical devices will be deferred and recognized over time as the
performance obligation is satisfied. Fees from services performed
are recognized when the service is performed. License fee for
refurbishment of applicators will be recognized at the time the
customer is granted the license to refurbish the applicators.
Revenue will be calculated using the transaction price that
represents the most likely consideration to be received for the
license times the number of licenses issued. Fees for upfront
distribution license agreements will be recognized on a straight
line basis based on the payment schedule in the
contract.
Research and Development Costs
We
expense costs associated with research and development activities
as incurred. We evaluate payments made to suppliers, research
collaborators and other vendors and determine the appropriate
accounting treatment based on the nature of the services provided,
the contractual terms, and the timing of the obligation. Research
and development costs include payments to third parties that
specifically relate to our products in clinical development, such
as payments to contract research organizations and collaborators,
clinical investigators, clinical monitors, clinical related
consultants and insurance premiums for clinical studies. In
addition, employee costs (salaries, payroll taxes, benefits and
travel) for employees of the regulatory affairs, clinical affairs,
quality assurance, and research and development departments are
classified as research and development costs.
Inventory Valuation
Inventory is
carried at the lower of cost or market, which is valued using the
first in, first out (FIFO) method, and consists primarily of
devices and the component material for assembly of finished
products, less reserves for obsolescence. We regularly review
existing inventory quantities and expiration dates of existing
inventory to evaluate a provision for excess, expired, obsolete and
scrapped inventory based primarily on our historical usage and
anticipated future usage. Although we make every effort to ensure
the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any
significant unanticipated change in demand or technological
developments could have an impact on the value of our inventory and
our reported operating results.
Liabilities Related to Warrants Issued
We
record certain common stock warrants we issued at fair value and
recognize the change in the fair value of such warrants as a gain
or loss, which we report in the Other Income (Expense) section in
our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We report these
warrants at fair value and they are classified as liabilities
because they contain certain down-round provisions allowing for
reduction of their exercise price. We estimate the fair value of
these warrants using a binomial options pricing model.
Warrants Related to Debt Issued
We
record a warrant discount related to warrants issued with debt at
fair value and recognize the cost using the straight-line method
over the term of the related debt as interest expense, which we
report in the Other Income (Expense) section in our Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We report this warrant discount
as a reduction of the related debt liability.
Beneficial Conversion Feature on Convertible Debt
We
record a beneficial conversion feature related convertible debt at
fair value and recognize the cost using the straight-line method
over the term of the related debt as interest expense, which we
report in the Other Income (Expense) section in our Consolidated
Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We report this beneficial
conversion feature as a reduction of the related debt
liability.
Stock-based Compensation
The
Stock Incentive Plan provides that stock options, and other equity
interests or equity-based incentives, may be granted to key
personnel, directors and advisors at the fair value of the common
stock at the time the option is granted, which is approved by our
board of directors. The maximum term of any option granted pursuant
to the Stock Incentive Plan is ten years from the date of
grant.
In
accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation
– Stock Compensation, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
the fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected
terms of options granted represent the period of time that options
granted are estimated to be outstanding and are derived from the
contractual terms of the options granted. We amortize the fair
value of each option over each option’s vesting
period.
Income Taxes
We
account for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method
prescribed by the provisions of ASC
740, Income
Taxes, Accounting for Income
Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis
of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for the
deferred tax assets, including loss carryforwards, when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset
will not be realized.
We account for uncertain tax
positions in accordance with the related provisions of ASC 740,
Income Taxes, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). ASC 740 specifies the way
public companies are to account for uncertainties in income tax
reporting, and prescribes a methodology for recognizing, reversing,
and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected
to be taken, in a tax return. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of
tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of
preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions
would “more-likely-than-not” be sustained if challenged
by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet
the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax
benefit or expense in the current year.
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended March 31, 2018 and
2017 (Unaudited)
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2018 were $344,272, compared to
$149,569 for the same period in 2017, an increase of $194,703, or
130%. Revenues resulted primarily from sales in the United States
and Europe of our dermaPACE and orthoPACE devices and related
applicators. The increase in revenues for 2018 was due to first
sale of dermaPACE devices and applicators in the United States
after obtaining FDA approval and slight increase in refurbishment
applicator sales.
Cost of
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $165,466,
compared to $55,144 for the same period in 2017. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues was 52% for the three months ended March 31,
2018, compared to 63% for the same period in 2017. The decrease in
gross profit as a percentage of revenues in 2018 was due to higher
number of devices sold in 2018, which have a lower gross margin
than building new and refurbishing applicators.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and
development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were
$349,444, compared to $260,338 for the same period in 2017, an
increase of $89,106, or 34%. Research and development costs include
payments to third parties that relate to our products in clinical
development and employee costs (salaries, payroll taxes, benefits,
and travel) for employees of the regulatory affairs, quality
assurance, and research and development departments. The increase
in research and development expenses was due to the hiring of a
full-time software engineer, accrual of bonus, and a grant given to
a university for clinical work to be performed.
General and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31,
2018 were $945,606, as compared to $448,606 for the same period in
2017, an increase of $497,000, or 111%. The increase in general and
administrative expenses was due to the hiring of a human resources
director, higher travel costs, accrual of bonus, recruiting fees
for open positions, higher legal and accounting fees related to SEC
filings and higher consultant fees related to the commercialization
of dermaPACE.
Other Income (Expense)
Other
income (expense) was a net expense of $4,735,395 the three months
ended March 31, 2018, as compared to a net income of
$127,107 for the same period in 2017, an increase in other
expense of $4,862,502. The increase in other expense for 2018 was
due to interest expense related to convertible promissory notes and
loss on warrant valuation adjustment.
Provision for Income Taxes
At
March 31, 2018, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards
through the year ended December 31, 2017 that will begin to expire
in 2025. Our ability to use these net operating loss carryforwards
to reduce our future federal income tax liabilities could be
subject to annual limitations. In connection with possible future
equity offerings, we may realize a “more than 50% change in
ownership” which could further limit our ability to use our
net operating loss carryforwards accumulated to date to reduce
future taxable income and tax liabilities. Additionally, because
United States tax laws limit the time during which net operating
loss carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income and
tax liabilities, we may not be able to take advantage of our net
operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes.
Net Loss
Net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $5,856,655, or
($0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of
$493,532, or ($0.00) per basic and diluted share, for the same
period in 2017, an increase in the net loss of $5,363,123. The
increase in the net loss for 2018 was primarily due to higher
general and administrative expenses as noted above as well as
higher interest expense related to convertible promissory notes and
loss on warrant valuation adjustment.
We
anticipate that our operating losses will continue over the next
few years as we incur expenses related to commercialization of our
dermaPACE system for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in the
United States. If we are able to successfully commercialize, market
and distribute the dermaPACE system, we hope to partially or
completely offset these losses in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We
expect to devote substantial resources for the commercialization of
the dermaPACE System and will continue to research and develop the
non-medical uses of the PACE technology, both of which will require
additional capital resources. We incurred a net loss of
$5,856,655for the three
months ended March 31, 2018 and $5,537,936 for the year ended
December 31, 2017. These operating losses create uncertainty about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
At
March 31, 2018, the Company’s distributor in South Korea
accounted for 49% of the total gross outstanding accounts
receivable. Due to the political climate and uncertainty in South
Korea, this distributor has not been able to finalize its expected
sales in late 2016 and 2017 and therefore has been unable to pay
the Company in a timely manner. The Company continues to work with
the South Korean distributor on a payment plan to get their account
current by June 30, 2018.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon
raising additional capital during the second and third quarters of
2018 to fund operations. Management’s plans are to obtain
additional capital in 2018 through investments by strategic
partners for market opportunities, which may include strategic
partnerships or licensing arrangements, or through the issuance of
common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common
stock, or secured or unsecured debt. These possibilities, to the
extent available, may be on terms that result in significant
dilution to our existing shareholders. Although no
assurances can be given, management believes that potential
additional issuances of equity or other potential financing
transactions as discussed above should provide the necessary
funding for us. If these efforts are
unsuccessful, we may be forced to seek relief through a filing
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Our consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability of assets and classification of assets and
liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue
as a going concern.
On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a
line of credit agreement with A. Michael Stolarski, a member of the
Company's board of directors and an existing shareholder of the
Company. The agreement established a line of credit in the amount
of $370,000 with an annualized interest rate of 6%. The line of
credit may be called for payment upon demand. On January 26, 2018,
the Company entered into a Master Equipment Lease with NFS Leasing
Inc. to provide financing for equipment purchases to enable the
Company to begin placing the dermaPACE System in the marketplace.
This agreement provides for a lease line of up to $1,000,000 with a
term of 36 months, and grants NFS a security interest in the
Company's accounts receivable, tangible and intangible personal
property and cash and deposit accounts of the Company. As of
February 27, 2018, we are in default of Master Equipment Lease due
to the sale of equipment purchased under the Master Lease Agreement
to a third party and the note is callable by NFS Leasing, Inc or
NFS Leasing, Inc. can notify the Company to assemble all equipment
for pick up.
We may
also attempt to raise additional capital if there are favorable
market conditions or other strategic considerations even if we have
sufficient funds for planned operations. To the extent that we
raise additional funds by issuance of equity securities, our
shareholders will experience dilution and we may be required to use
some or all of the net proceeds to repay our indebtedness, and debt
financings, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or may
otherwise constrain our financial flexibility. To the extent that
we raise additional funds through collaborative arrangements, it
may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our intellectual
property or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
In addition, payments made by potential collaborators or licensors
generally will depend upon our achievement of negotiated
development and regulatory milestones. Failure to achieve these
milestones would harm our future capital position.
Cash
and cash equivalents decreased by $575,979 for the three months
ended March 31, 2018 and decreased by $36,033 for the three months
ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and
2017, net cash used by operating activities was $1,848,553 and
$114,884, respectively, primarily consisting of compensation costs,
research and development activities and general corporate
operations. The increase in the use of cash for operating
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared
to the same period for 2017, of $1,733,669 was primarily due to the
increased operating expenses and decreased payables in 2018. Net
cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March
31, 2018 consisted of purchase of property and equipment of $7,720.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2018 was $1,279,371 which consisted of $1,159,785
from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, $94,058 net from
note payable, product, $13,528 from the exercise of warrants and
$12,000 from the advances from related parties for exercise of
warrants. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2017 was $77,066 from exercise of
warrants.
Segment and Geographic Information
We have
determined that we are principally engaged in one operating
segment. Our products are primarily used for the repair and
regeneration of tissue, musculoskeletal and vascular structures in
wound healing and orthopedic conditions. Our revenues are generated
from sales in United States, Europe, Canada, Asia and
Asia/Pacific.
Contractual Obligations
Our
major outstanding contractual obligations relate to our operating
lease for our facility, purchase and supplier obligations for
product component materials and equipment, and our notes payable,
related parties. We have disclosed these obligations in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2017, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since
inception, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet activities,
including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities
or variable interest entities.
Effects of Inflation
Due to
the fact that our assets are, to an extent, liquid in nature, they
are not significantly affected by inflation. However, the rate of
inflation affects such expenses as employee compensation, office
space leasing costs and research and development charges, which may
not be readily recoverable during the period of time that we are
bringing the product candidates to market. To the extent inflation
results in rising interest rates and has other adverse effects on
the market, it may adversely affect our consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Not
required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting
companies”
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required
to be disclosed by us in the 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to the Company’s management, including its
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our Acting Chief
Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial
Officer (principal financial officer and accounting officer), of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018. Based on this
evaluation, the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not operating effectively as of March 31, 2018. As disclosed in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as
filed with the SEC on March 29, 2018, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017 because of
the “material weakness” described below. Such material
weaknesses have not yet been fully remediated and continue to
impact the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures.
A
“material weakness” is defined under SEC rules as a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal
controls. As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on March 29,
2018, as of December 31, 2017, management concluded that we had
three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting process. The first material weakness was due to the lack
of internal expertise and resources to analyze and properly apply
generally accepted accounting principles to complex and non-routine
transactions such as complex financial instruments and derivatives
and complex sales distribution agreements. The second material
weakness was due to the lack of internal resources to analyze and
properly apply generally accepted accounting principle to
accounting for equity components of service agreements with select
vendors. The third material weakness was due to the lack of
internal expertise and resources to ensure that generally accepted
accounting principle disclosures are complete and accurate. As a
result, management concluded that our internal control over
reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017 and March 31,
2018.
Management
believes the material weaknesses identified above were due to the
complex and non-routine nature of the Company’s complex
financial instruments and derivatives and complexity of new sales
distribution agreements, as well as lack of internal resources and
expertise.
Management’s Plan to Remediate Material
Weaknesses
Management
will develop an updated remediation plan to address the material
weaknesses related to its processes and procedures surrounding the
accounting for complex financial instruments and derivatives,
accounting for complex sales distribution agreements, accounting
for equity component of service agreements and ensuring that
generally accepted accounting principle disclosures are complete
and accurate. The updated remediation plan could consist of, among
other things, redesigning the procedures to enhance their
identification, capture, review, approval and recording of terms
and components of complex financial instruments and derivatives,
complex sales distribution agreements, and any equity components of
service agreements as well as identify necessary disclosures.
Management will research where to obtain additional interpretive
guidance on identifying and accounting for these identified areas
of material weakness as well as engage, as necessary, an outside
consultant to assist in the application of United States GAAP to
these areas. The updated remediation plan will be reviewed by the
Board of Director’s and be implemented upon the board’s
approval. These measures are intended both to address the
identified material weaknesses and to enhance our overall internal
control environment.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the period covered by this report that
materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting. Management is in the
process of designing updated changes to its controls as discussed
above in “Management’s Plan to Remediate Material
Weaknesses.”
