NanoVibronix, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

NanoVibronix, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, commenced operations on October 20, 2003 and is a medical device company focusing on noninvasive biological response-activating devices that target wound healing and pain therapy and can be administered at home, without the assistance of medical professionals.

 

The Company’s principal research and development activities are conducted in Israel through its wholly owned subsidiary, NanoVibronix (Israel 2003) Ltd., a company registered in Israel, which commenced operations in October 2003.

 

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company’s ability to continue to operate is dependent mainly on its ability to successfully market and sell its products and the receipt of additional financing until profitability is achieved. The Company currently incurs and historically has incurred losses from operations and expects to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has historically had recurring losses and negative cash used from operations which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at that time. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company used $954 of cash in operations. Although we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, we had a cash balances of $7,978 as of March 31, 2021. Because the Company has sufficient resources to fund our operation for the next twelve months from the date of this filing, the substantial doubt has been alleviated. The Company may need to continue to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations beyond the next twelve months and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. If we are unable to increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock, we will be unable to issue common stock or convertible instruments. As a result, the Company will be limited in its ability to raise additional capital.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for the interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to NanoVibronix, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Unaudited interim financial information

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2021.

 

5

 

 

The balance sheet for December 31, 2020 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions and balances have been re-measured to U.S. dollars. All gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The cumulative translation gains as of the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $5 and $0, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition

 

It is the Company’s policy that revenues from product sales is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) Identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) Determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) Recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation. Adoption of ASC 606 has not changed the timing and nature of the Company’s revenue recognition and there has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Revenue from product sales is recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from coupons, discounts, chargebacks and distributor fees, processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government rebates. The Company constrains revenue by giving consideration to factors that could otherwise lead to a probable reversal of revenue. Collectability of revenue is reasonably assured based on historical evidence of collectability between the Company and its customers.

 

Revenues from sales to distributors are recognized at the time the products are delivered to the distributors (“sell-in”). The Company does not grant rights of return, credits, rebates, price protection, or other privileges on its products to distributors.

Sequencing

 

The Company adopted a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40-35 whereby if reclassification of contracts from equity to liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares. This was due to the Company committing more shares than authorized. While temporary suspensions are in place to keep the potential exercises beneath the number authorized, certain instruments are classified as liabilities, after allocating available authorized shares on the basis of the most recent grant date of potentially dilutive instruments. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuances of securities granted as compensation in a share-based payment arrangement are not subject to the sequencing policy.

 

Recently adopted accounting standards

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-02 and its related amendments, which changed our accounting for leases. As a result of this change, we recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months and classified them as operating leases. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been measured by the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using our incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable.

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The Company will be required to adopt this ASU for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material on the Company’s financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

 

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common stock and over-issuance

 

The common stock confers upon the holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in general meetings of the Company, and the right to receive dividends, if declared, and to participate in the distribution of the surplus assets and funds of the Company in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

As of December 3, 2020, we had 20,000,000 authorized shares of our common stock and 19,850,014 shares of common stock outstanding resulting in 149,986 shares of common stock being available for issuance. On December 4, 2020, certain holders of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock converted 396,509 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 396,509 shares of common stock, resulting in an overissue of 246,523 shares of common stock. Beginning on December 17, 2020, through January 22, 2021, certain holders of warrants we had issued in December 2020 (the “December 2020 Warrants”) exercised a portion of the December 2020 Warrants for 2,657,144 shares of Common Stock, resulting in an additional overissue of 2,657,144 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that was overissued by the Company was 4,109,635. The shares issued in excess of the authorized amount are classified as liabilities. The common stock equivalents are subject to the Company’s sequencing policy and are classified as derivative liabilities (see Note 5). On March 3, 2021, the Company filed a proxy statement in connection with a special meeting of stockholders to be held on March 31, 2021 to (i) ratify the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 24,109,635 and the issuance of such 4,109,635 shares of common stock, and (ii) further increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock. On May 6, 2021, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the ratification of the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 24,109,635 and the issuance of such 4,109,635 shares of common stock to be effective as of December 4, 2020 but the stockholders did not approve a further increase in the number of its authorized shares of common stock. We have filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Validation with respect to the Share Increase Ratification and such Certificate of Validation has become effective.

 

Stock-based compensation and Options

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, 180,000 and 0 options were granted, respectively. The options were granted to a employees and consultants in 2021 and were recorded at a fair value and vested over three years. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, stock-based compensation expense of $109 and $71 was recorded for options that vested, respectively.

 

The fair value for options granted in the first quarter of 2021 is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model with the following underlying assumptions:

 

Price at valuation  $1.04 
Exercise price  $1.04 
Risk free interest   0.49%
Expected term (in years)   5 
Volatility   81.5%

The total stock-based expense recognized in the financial statements for services received from employees and non-employees is shown in the following table.

As of March 31, 2021, the total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was $197, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.55 years.

 

Series E Preferred Stock conversion to common stock

 

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at any time and from time to time at the option of a holder of Series E Preferred Stock into one share of the Company’s common stock, provided that each holder would be prohibited from converting Series E Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, any such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. This limitation may be waived with respect to a holder upon such holder’s provision of not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

 

In February 2020, a stockholder converted 110,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock into 110,000 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 1 to 1. No purchase was made in order to convert these shares.

 

Warrant exercises and modification

 

On December 2, 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to such investors in a private placement an aggregate of (i) 5,914,285 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $0.70 per share and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,657,144 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.699 per pre-funded warrant, for gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million, and net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million. In January 2021, two investors exercised an aggregate of 1,657,144 warrants at $0.001 per share.

 

On January 21, 2021, Company entered into letter agreements (the “Letter Agreements”) with certain existing accredited investors to exercise certain outstanding warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,205,968 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.165 (the “Exercise”). Certain of the Existing Warrants (the “Registered Existing Warrants”) and the shares of common stock underlying the Registered Existing Warrants have been registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251264) and a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-218871). In consideration for the exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, the exercising holders will receive new unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,205,967 shares of common stock (the “New Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.04 per share and with an exercise period of seven years from the initial closing date. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Exercise were approximately $1.4 million.

 

The New Warrants were accounted for in warrant modification expense, which was measured at the amount equal to the incremental value reflecting the change in the fair value of the warrants before and after the Warrant Amendment. Accordingly, warrant modification expense in the amount of $1,627 was recorded with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital.

In estimating the warrants’ fair value, the Company used the following assumptions:

 

Risk free interest   0.05 – 0.35%
Dividend yield   0%
Volatility   82.7% - 211%
Contractual term (in years)   0.79 – 2.67 

 

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

During 2020, the Company established a sequencing policy to which common stock equivalents are exercisable to shares of common stock more than the Company’s authorized limit. It was determined that all options and warrants by the end of the year were no longer permitted to be classified as equity and were valued at fair market value using Black Scholes and recorded as derivative liabilities.

 

A summary of quantitative information with respect to valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s purchase warrants that were categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 is as follows:

 

Stock price  $1.02 
Conversion price  $0.72 - 6.00 
Contractual term (in years)   0.79 – 4.87 
Volatility (annual)   82.7% - 211%
Risk-free rate   0.05% - 0.92%

 

The foregoing assumptions were reviewed quarterly and were subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring.

 

Financial Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The fair value accounting standards define fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

There were no transfers between Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

  

Derivative

Liabilities

 
Balance – December 31, 2020  $2,471 
New issuances   1,692 
Change in fair value of derivative liability   1,947 
Exercises/redemptions   (3,169)
Balance – March 31, 2021  $2,942

NOTE 6 – LEASES

 

The Company has operating lease agreements with terms up to 3 years, including car leases.

 

The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 2.80 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 10%.

 

The Company incurred $6 of lease expense for its operating leases for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

The following table presents information about the amount and timing of liabilities arising from the Company’s operating leases as of March 31, 2021:

 

2021  $9 
2022   10 
2023   9 
Total undiscounted operating lease payments   28 
Less: Imputed interest   3 
Present value of operating lease liabilities  $25 

 

NOTE 7 – LOSS PER SHARE APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDER

 

Basic net loss per common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All outstanding stock options and warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s securities, in common stock equivalents, which have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

 

   March 31, 2021   March 31, 2020 
Series D Preferred Stock   153,000    303,782 
Series E Preferred Stock   875,000    1,715,000 
Stock Options - employee and non-employee   1,928,544    1,556,332 
Warrants   5,447,594    266,667 
Total   8,404,138    3,841,781 

 

The diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9 – OTHER ASSETS

 

On April 9, 2020, pursuant to a licensing agreement entered into in March 2020, the Company received 10-year warrants to purchase 127,000 shares of Sanuwave Health, Inc. at a price of $0.19 per share. The fair value for warrants received is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model with the following underlying assumptions:

 

Price at valuation  $0.17 
Exercise price  $0.19 
Risk free interest   1.74%
Expected term (in years)   9 
Volatility   139.2%

 

The Company considers this to be level 3 inputs and is valued at each reporting period. The fair value of these warrants decreased by $2 during the quarter, leaving a balance of $21 as of March 31, 2021.

 

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Other Risks

 

On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common shares.

 

Pending litigation

 

On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging the Company is in breach of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement dated March 7, 2019 (the “Agreement”) between Protrade and the Company. Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $3 million. The Company believes it is too early to determine the most likely outcome. The Company disputes the claims asserted by Protrade and intends to respond to the Request and defend against the claims vigorously.

 

NOTE 11 – OTHER LIABILITIES

 

In January 2021, investors attempted exercise warrants for 663,332 shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $390. Due to the Company’s lack of authorized shares, in April 2021, the proceeds from the exercise of $390 was returned to the investors.

 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 6, 2021, the Company agreed to purchase 663,332 warrants from investors for a total of $388. The warrants had exercise prices between $0.88 and $0.94 per share.

 

At the Special Meeting on May 6, 2021, our stockholders approved the ratification, pursuant to Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Delaware common law, of an increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 20,000,000 to 24,109,635 shares and the issuance of 4,109,635 shares of common stock upon conversion and exercise of certain of the Company’s securities as more particularly described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021 (the “Share Increase Ratification”). We have filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Validation with respect to the Share Increase Ratification and such Certificate of Validation has become effective.

Recent Events and Developments

 

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has reached multiple other countries, resulting in government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in China and other affected countries. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to adversely impact our business, as our operations are based in and rely on third parties located in countries affected by the pandemic. Our third-party manufacturer, which is based in China, temporarily shut down for sixty days due to the pandemic and became fully operational in April 2020 which led to a significant delay in the production of goods needed to fulfill our sales orders, which were scheduled to be fulfilled in our first quarter of 2020. We were able to fulfill these orders in the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the notified regulatory body we rely on to obtain European CE approval is located in Italy and has been shut down for approximately six weeks from March to April 2020, which delayed our submission for CE mark approval for the year 2020. The CE Mark was subsequently approved in April 2020. The various precautionary measures taken by many governmental authorities around the world in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the global markets and global economy, including on the availability and pricing of employees, resources, materials, manufacturing and delivery efforts and other aspects of the global economy. The financial downturn has compelled us to furlough or reduce working hours for much of our operating staff for several months during the second quarter of 2020, and has forced our remaining staff as well as third-party contractors to work remotely. In addition, many staff members continue to operate remotely from their homes, which is continuing to result in delays in obtaining certain financial records. We also rely on third-party professionals to provide services such as the preparation of our financial statements and to conduct audits, and many of these parties have been affected by government-imposed precautionary measures, thereby delaying our receipt of these services. Such government-imposed precautionary measures may have been relaxed in certain countries or states, but there is no assurance that more strict measures will be put in place again due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic has and may again disrupt production and cause delays in the supply and delivery of our products, may continue to affect our operation, may further divert the attention and efforts of the medical community to coping with COVID-19 and disrupt the marketplace in which we operate and may have a material adverse effect on our operations. Assessment of the complete extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially disrupt our business and operations, hamper our ability to raise additional funds or sell or securities, continue to slow down the overall economy, curtail consumer spending, interrupt our sources of supply, and make it hard to adequately staff our operations.

Business Developments

 

Effective as of January 2020, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) approved our PainShield™ for reimbursement for Medicare beneficiaries on a national basis. We were notified on March 30, 2020 that our Medicare Enrollment Application was approved, and we are now an approved Medicare Supplier for DME through the National Supplier Clearinghouse, Palmetto-GBA as well as Noridian Administrative Services, LLC, the two Medicare Administrative Contractors that handle DME reimbursement nationwide. PainShield is currently available for Medicare reimbursement on a national level under new HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) code K1004.

 

In March 2020, we signed a license agreement with Sanuwave Health, Inc. for the manufacture and delivery of our WoundShield technology. Under the terms of the agreement, we will receive warrants to purchase 127,000 shares of Sanuwave stock, a $250,000 milestone payment based on receipt of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, and 10% royalty on Sanuwave’s gross revenues from sales or rentals of WoundShield. In return, Sanuwave has received the worldwide, exclusive rights to our WoundShield product and technology. In addition, Sanuwave will bear the costs and clinical validation responsibilities associated with obtaining approval for WoundShield from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies around the world.

 

In September 2020, the U.S. FDA exercised its Enforcement Discretion to allow distribution of our UroShield device in the United States. This temporary authorization is limited to use as an extracorporeal acoustic wave generating accessory to urological indwelling catheter for use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Nasdaq Stockholders’ Equity Minimum

 

On April 21, 2021, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company no longer satisfied the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Requirement”). The Company reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.4 million in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and does not otherwise satisfy the alternative criteria pertaining to market value of listed securities or net income. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been granted a period of 45 calendar days, or through June 7, 2021, to submit its plan to evidence compliance with the Equity Requirement for the Staff’s review. If the Company’s plan is accepted, the Staff may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter, or October 18, 2021, to evidence compliance with the Equity Requirement. While the Company is evaluating various courses of action in its effort to regain compliance with the Equity Requirement and plans to timely submit a compliance plan to the Staff for its review, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted by the Staff or, if accepted, that the Company will be able to timely satisfy the terms of the extension granted by the Staff. If the Company’s plan is not accepted by the Staff or if accepted but the Company does not timely regain compliance, the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting. In such event, the Company would be entitled to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which request would stay any delisting action by Nasdaq at least until the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in both (i) “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.

 

The currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Accordingly, our functional currency is the dollar.

 

Results of Operations

Our revenues may fluctuate as we add new consumers or when existing distributors or consumers make large purchases of our products during one period and no purchases during another period. Therefore, any growth or decrease in revenues by quarter may not be linear or consistent.

 

15

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the percentage of revenues attributable to our products was: PainShield - 100% and UroShield 0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the portion of our revenues that was derived from distributors was 94% and 99%, respectively.

The increase was primarily due to legal fees related to a lawsuit with a former officer and director and efforts to ratify our prior overissuances of common stock.

 

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 986% and 576% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Our general and administrative expenses consist mainly of payroll expenses for management and administrative employees, stock-based compensation expenses, accounting, legal and facilities expenses associated with general and administrative activities and costs associated with being a publicly traded company.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there was a change in fair value of derivative liabilities resulting in losses of approximately $1,948,000 and $0, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses in the amount of approximately $4,917,000 and had negative cash flow from operating activities of $954,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Although we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, we had a cash balance of just over $7,953,000 as of March 31, 2021 and therefore, we have sufficient resources to fund our operation for the next twelve months from the date of this filing. The Company may need to continue to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations beyond the next twelve months and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. If we do not increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, we will be unable to issue common stock or convertible instruments. As a result, the Company will be limited in its ability to raise additional capital.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we received approximately $1,406,000 of net proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products, our development of future products and competing technological and market developments as well as our ability to overcome obstacles that may be presented due to developments caused by the coronavirus outbreak. We expect to continue to incur losses and negative flows from operations. We intend to use the proceeds generated from equity financings, or strategic alliances with third parties, either alone or in combination with equity financing to meet our short-term liquidity requirements as well as to advance our long-term plans. While we believe we have sufficient capital to execute our business plan over the next twelve months, there are no assurances that we will not need to raise additional capital at a later time, or that we would be able to raise additional capital, if required, on terms favorable to us.

 

We do not have any material commitments to capital expenditures as of March 31, 2021, and we are not aware of any material trends in capital resources that would impact our business.

Cash flows

 

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7,978,000, compared to approximately $443,000 as of March 31, 2020. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuance of equity, borrowing activities and sales. Our cash requirements are generally for product development, research and development cost, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative cost, capital expenditures and general working capital.

 

Cash used in our operating activities was approximately $954,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $895,000 for the same period in 2020.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1,406,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2021, we have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

 

We believe that our future operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon a wide variety of factors, including the ordering patterns of our distributors, timing of regulatory approvals, the implementation of various phases of our clinical trials and manufacturing efficiencies due to the learning curve of utilizing new materials and equipment as well issues that may continue to occur due to the development of the coronavirus outbreak. While there were significant delays in the production of goods due to COVID-19 issues, presently, we are no longer experiencing such delays in the production of our products. That said, there are no assurances that if a second wave of the pandemic occurs that we will not experience significant delays in the future. Our operating results could also be impacted by a weakening of the Euro and strengthening of the New Israeli Shekel (NIS), both against the U.S. dollar. Lastly, other economic conditions we cannot foresee may affect customer demand, such as individual country reimbursement policies pertaining to our products.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits 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 are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.

 

18

 

 

In addition to the previously existing material weaknesses described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we identified another material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in that we did not properly account for the number of shares of our common stock issued in connection with the conversion of shares of our preferred stock and the exercise of warrants, which resulted in the Company issuing more shares of common stock than are authorized under our governance documents (the “Overissuance Material Weakness”).

 

During 2020, management developed a remediation plan, whereby we implemented changes to our internal controls for these material weaknesses relating to (i) our controls over information technology and information systems relevant to the preparation of our financial statements, (ii) our controls over management review procedures for processing, recording and reviewing transactions related to certain contracts, accounting memos and certain monthly closing procedures, and (iii) our lack of a formalized written set of policies and procedures including testing documentation for our system of internal control over financial reporting (the “Existing Material Weaknesses”). Our remediation activities with respect to the Existing Material Weaknesses included: (a) expanded consultations with third party specialists on complex accounting matters, financial reporting and regulatory filings, (b) enhanced documentation to support a more precise review process, and (c) enhanced monitoring of the review process. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Although the Company has taken numerous steps with respect to the Existing Material Weaknesses, our remediation plan is not complete due to the lack of a written testing plan to conclude if our controls and procedures and management were operating effectively; and our remediation plan has not operated for a sufficient period of time for the Company to complete testing to conclude that our newly implemented controls and procedures were operating effectively as of March 31, 2021. In addition, we expect to have a plan in place by the end of the second quarter of 2021 with respect to the remediation of our Overissuance Material Weakness.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than described above in this Item 4, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may be involved in certain claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of business. Management assesses such claims and, if it considers that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the most likely outcome.

 

On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging the Company is in breach of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement dated March 7, 2019 (the “Agreement”) between Protrade and the Company. Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Agreement by discontinuing the manufacture of the DV0057 Painshield MD device in favor of an updated 10-100-001 Painshield MD device. Protrade claims damages estimated at $3 million. The Company disputes the claims asserted by Protrade and intends to respond to the Request and defend against the claims vigorously.

 

On December 17, 2019, a lawsuit was filed by a former officer and director, Jona Zumeris, in the Haifa Israel District Financial Court, seeking damages of approximately $900,000 for breach of the Separation Agreement executed on July 4, 2018. The Israeli court issued a court order demanding that we restrict approximately $700,000 of the Company’s money until the matter is adjudicated. The Company appealed the court order and in February 2020, the Company agreed to restrict approximately 1,187,000 NIS (“New Israeli Shekel”) and agreed to try to settle the matter in mediation. On November 30, 2020, the Company funded the escrow account with $391,000. In January 2021, the parties reached a settlement in which the Company paid the plaintiff approximately $366,000 as settlement in full

 

There are no other material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates or any registered or beneficial stockholder of more than 5% of our common stock, or any associate of any of the foregoing is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, the risk factors addressed below associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

 

The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to understanding other statements in this Form 10-Q. The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1, “Financial Statements” and Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Form 10-Q.

If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

As a public reporting company, we are required to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Failure to establish such internal control, or any failure of such internal control once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds.

 

Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 404 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted. In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting (including those weaknesses identified in our periodic reports), or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our securities.

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of a full and complete testing of our disclosure controls and procedures and separately related to the recent overissuance of shares of our common stock. We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020. Our management has implemented remediation measures with respect to the controls and written policies and procedures as described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and management expects that such measures will be sufficient to fully remediate such material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of March 31, 2021. However, we have not implemented remediation measures with respect to the overissuance of shares of our common stock but expect to have a plan of remediation in place during the second quarter of 2021. We obtained a ratification from our stockholders with respect to the overissuance of shares of our common stock and we have filed a Certificate of Validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which has become effective. However, we must address the policies and procedures that allowed such overissuance to occur and implement a remediation plan. We cannot guarantee that these steps will be sufficient to remediate the deficiencies or that we will not have a material weakness in the future. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness or if additional material weaknesses arise in the future, our interim or annual financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions and we could be required to restate our financial results.

 

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

 

Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We must satisfy NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.

 

On April 21, 2021, we received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Equity Requirement”). The Company reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.4 million in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and does not otherwise satisfy the alternative criteria pertaining to market value of listed securities or net income. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been granted a period of 45 calendar days, or through June 7, 2021, to submit its plan to evidence compliance with the Equity Requirement for the Staff’s review. If the Company’s plan is accepted, the Staff may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter, or October 18, 2021, to evidence compliance with the Equity Requirement. While the Company is evaluating various courses of action in its effort to regain compliance with the Equity Requirement and plans to timely submit a compliance plan to the Staff for its review, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted by the Staff or, if accepted, that the Company will be able to timely satisfy the terms of the extension granted by the Staff. If the Company’s plan is not accepted by the Staff or if accepted but the Company does not timely regain compliance, the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting. In such event, the Company would be entitled to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which request would stay any delisting action by Nasdaq at least until the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process.

 

If our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
