ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and
2017
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of the Business
ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (“ENDRA” or the
“Company”) is developing a medical imaging technology
based on the thermoacoustic effect that improves the sensitivity
and specificity of clinical ultrasound.
On May 8, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-3.5 reverse stock
split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s
common stock, with no reduction in authorized capital stock. In the
Reverse Split, every 3.5 outstanding shares of common stock became
one (1) share of common stock. All common stock and stock incentive
plan information in these financial statements reflect the Reverse
Split.
ENDRA was incorporated on July 18, 2007 as a Delaware
corporation.
ENDRA Life Sciences Canada Inc. was organized under the laws of
Ontario, Canada on July 6, 2017, and is wholly owned by the
Company.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including
deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity
instruments and reserves for any other commitments or
contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized
in the period in which such adjustments are
determined.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements include all accounts of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiary for the reporting period(s) then ended. All
inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes
have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2018. The balance sheet at December 31,
2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at such
date. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. annual
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC on March 20, 2018.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including
accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and
other highly-liquid investments with maturities of one year or
less, when purchased, to be cash. As of September 30, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company
maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit
worthiness of the financial institutions and has determined the
credit exposure to be negligible.
6
Inventory
The Company’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or
estimated net realizable value, with cost primarily determined on a
weighted-average cost basis on the first-in, first-out method. The
Company periodically determines whether a reserve should be taken
for devaluation or obsolescence of inventory. As of September 30,
2018 the Company determined it should take a reserve equal to the
full amount of its available inventory. As of December 31, 2017, no
such reserve was taken.
Capitalization of Fixed Assets
The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and
equipment, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life
greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing
assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been
extended; or (3) all land, regardless of cost. Acquisitions of new
assets, additions, replacements and improvements (other than land)
costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and
repair costs, including any planned major maintenance activities,
are expensed as incurred.
Capitalization of Intangible Assets
The Company records the purchase of intangible assets not purchased
in a business combination in accordance with the ASC Topic
350.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with
Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”). This standard
provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be
used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The
updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core
principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer
of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the
updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full
retrospective method. The new standard did not have a material
impact on its financial position and results of operations, as it
did not change the manner or timing of recognizing
revenue.
Under ASC Topic 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is
required to identify an approved contract with commitments to
perform respective obligations, identify rights of each party in
the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the
payment terms for the goods transferred, verify that the contract
has commercial substance and verify that collection of
substantially all consideration is probable. The adoption of ASC
Topic 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations
or cash flows.
Research and Development Costs
The Company follows ASC Subtopic 730-10, “Research and
Development”. Research and development costs are charged to
the statement of operations as incurred. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company
incurred $1,162,911 and $3,671,490, and $300,527 and $571,066, of
expenses related to research and development costs,
respectively.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per share under ASC Subtopic 260-10,
“Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260-10”). Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) attributable to the common stockholders (the numerator) by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
(the denominator) during the reporting periods. Diluted loss
per share is computed by increasing the denominator by the weighted
average number of additional shares that could have been
outstanding from securities convertible into common stock (using
the “treasury stock” method), unless their effect on
net loss per share is anti-dilutive. There were 3,238,737 and
3,208,262 potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding
common stock options, warrants, and convertible notes, as of
September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017,
respectively.
The potential shares, which are excluded from the determination of
basic and diluted net loss per share as their effect is
anti-dilutive, are as follows:

Fair Value Measurements
Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments require
disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized
in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that
value.
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” the Company measures certain financial
instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820
defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820
established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes
the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
These tiers include:
● Level 1, defined as
observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments
in active markets;
● Level 2, defined as
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either
directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar
instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or
similar instruments in markets that are not active;
and
● Level 3, defined as
unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists,
therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such
as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or
more significant inputs or significant value drivers are
unobservable.
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are
determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies
or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption
or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and
liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities,
approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of
these instruments. The fair value of notes payable and convertible
notes approximates their fair values since the current interest
rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing
market rates.
Share-based Compensation
The Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus
Plan”) permits the grant of stock options and other
share-based awards to its employees, consultants and non-employee
members of the board of directors covering up to 1,345,074 shares
of common stock, of which
approximately 350,000 remain available to be granted. Each January 1 the
pool of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan will
automatically increase by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
number of shares necessary such that the aggregate number of shares
available under the Omnibus Plan equals 25% of the number of
fully-diluted outstanding shares on the increase date (assuming the
conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock and other
outstanding convertible securities and exercise of all outstanding
options and warrants to purchase shares) and (ii) if the board of
directors takes action to set a lower amount, the amount determined
by the board.
The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of the Share-based Compensation Topic of the FASB
Codification. The guidance requires the use of option-pricing
models that require the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the option’s expected life and the price volatility
of the underlying stock. The fair value of each option grant is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model, and the resulting charge is expensed using the
straight-line attribution method over the vesting period. The
Company has elected to use the calculated value method to account
for the options it issued in 2017 (prior to commencement on June
28, 2017 of public trading in the Company’s common stock).
Under the Share-based Compensation Topic of the FASB Codification,
a nonpublic entity that is unable to estimate the expected
volatility of the price of its underlying shares may measure awards
based on a “calculated value,” which substitutes the
volatility of appropriate public companies (representative of the
company’s size and industry) as a benchmark for the
volatility of the entity’s own share price. The Company has
used the historical closing values of these companies to estimate
volatility, which was calculated to be 90%, for periods prior to
June 28, 2017, when there was no active market for the
Company’s common stock.
Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on
the value of share-based awards that were expected to vest during
the period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The estimated fair
value of grants of stock options and warrants to non-employees of
the Company is charged to expense, if applicable, in the financial
statements. These options vest in the same manner as the employee
options granted under the stock incentive plan as described
above.

Beneficial Conversion Feature
If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides
for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature
is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature
(“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt
discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion
and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible
debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the
Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of
the debt using the effective interest method.
Debt Discount
The Company determines if the convertible promissory notes should
be accounted for as liability or equity under ASC Topic 480,
Liabilities — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. ASC
Topic 480 applies to certain contracts involving a company’s
own equity, and requires that issuers classify the following
freestanding financial instruments as liabilities: mandatorily
redeemable financial instruments, obligations that require or may
require repurchase of the issuer’s equity shares by
transferring assets (e.g., written put options and forward purchase
contracts), and certain obligations where at inception the monetary
value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly
on:
● A fixed monetary amount known at inception (for example, a
payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s
equity shares with an issuance date fair value equal to a fixed
dollar amount);
● Variations in something other than the fair value of the
issuer’s equity shares (for example, a financial instrument
indexed to the S&P 500 and settleable with a variable number of
the issuer’s equity shares); or
● Variations inversely related to changes in the fair value
of the issuer’s equity shares (for example, a written put
that could be net share settled).
If the Company determines the instrument meets the guidance under
ASC Topic 480, the instrument is accounted for as a liability with
a respective debt discount. The Company has previously recorded
debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the
issuance of promissory notes. These costs are amortized to noncash
interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the
underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized
amounts is immediately expensed. See Note 6, Convertible Notes, for
further discussion on the Company’s accounting treatment for
the outstanding notes.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has
limited commercial experience and had a cumulative net loss from
inception to September 30, 2018 of $25,326,086. The Company had
working capital deficit of $750,911 as of September 30, 2018. The
Company has not established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient
to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements for the period ended
September 30, 2018 have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. The Company’s cash resources
will likely be insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during
the next twelve months. The Company will require additional
financing to fund its future planned operations, including research
and development and commercialization of its products.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund
operating losses until it establishes a revenue stream and becomes
profitable. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern
include raising additional capital through sales of equity
securities and borrowing. However, management cannot provide any
assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any
of its plans. If the Company is not able to obtain the necessary
additional financing on a timely basis, the Company will be
required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of
the Company’s research and development activities or
commercialization efforts or perhaps even cease the operation of
its business. The ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully secure
other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There
is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the
accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue
recognition standard that supersedes nearly all existing revenue
recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a
principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. Under
ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control
of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that
reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in
exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard
requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty
of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The FASB has recently issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11,
ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20, all of which clarify certain
implementation guidance within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 is
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to
each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method),
or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying
the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the
cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company has reviewed
ASU 2014-09 and using the full retrospective method has determined
that its adoption has had no impact on its financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. The Company adopted the
provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal
2018.
9
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU
2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a
corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases
with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective
transition approach is required for lessees for capital and
operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning
of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. The
Company is currently evaluating the expected impact that the
standard could have on its consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation –
Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting.
The amendments in ASU 2017-09 provide guidance about which changes
to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require
an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The
adoption of ASU 2017-09, which is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within
those annual periods, did not have any impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or
disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB,
including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or in
management’s opinion will not have a material impact on the
Company’s present or future consolidated financial
statements.

Note 6 – Convertible Notes
On June 28, 2018, the Company conducted a private placement
offering in which the Company sold $1,077,000 aggregate principal
amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes (the
“Notes”) to accredited investors and National
Securities Corporation, which served as placement agent in the
offering. Certain of the Company’s officers and directors
participated in the offering.
The Notes are convertible into common stock at a conversion price
equal to the lesser of (a) the lowest per share price at which
common stock is sold in a Qualified Financing (as defined below),
as applicable, less a discount of 20%, or (b) $2.016, but in any
event no less than a conversion price floor of $1.40.
Each Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum until maturity
on December 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Interest
will be paid in arrears on the outstanding principal amount on the
three month anniversary of the issuance of the Notes and each three
month period thereafter and on the Maturity Date or on the date of
conversion in full of each such Note. The principal amount of the
Notes will automatically convert into shares of common stock (i)
upon the consummation of a sale by the Company of common stock
resulting in aggregate gross cash proceeds of at least $7.0 million
(a “Qualified Financing”) or (ii) if the holders of a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
elect to convert the Notes at any time until three days prior to a
Qualified Financing. Additionally, noteholders are entitled to
convert the principal amount of Notes into common stock (i) at any
time until three days prior to the consummation of a Qualified
Financing or (ii) if a material Event of Default (as defined in the
Notes) shall have occurred and be continuing. In each case,
conversion is subject to the terms and provisions of the
Notes.
The Notes provide for customary events of default. In the case of
an event of default with respect to the Notes, each Noteholder may
declare its Note to be due and payable immediately without further
action or notice. If such an event of default occurs and be
continuing, the rate of interest on the Notes will automatically be
increased to 15% until the default is cured.
In
addition, on June 28, 2018, the
Company issued warrants exercisable for 267,113 shares of the
Company’s common stock to accredited investors and issued to
National Securities Corporation, which served as placement agent in
the offering, and its designees warrants exercisable for 53,423
shares of common stock. Each warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase shares of Common Stock for an exercise price per share
equal to $2.52, which was the closing bid price of shares of Common
Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on June 27, 2018. The warrants
are exercisable commencing six months after the date of issuance
and expire June 28, 2021. The fair value of these warrants was
determined to be $587,541 using the Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i)
volatility rate of 99%, (ii) discount rate of 0%, (iii) zero
expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected life of 3
years. The value of the warrants of $587,541 was
considered as debt discount upon issuance and was being amortized
as interest over the term of the notes or in full upon the
conversion of the corresponding notes. During three and nine months
ended September 30, 2018, the Company amortized $5,822 and $377,606
of such discount to interest expense, and the unamortized discount
as of September 30, 2018 was $345,813.
Note 7 – Capital Stock
At September 30, 2018, the authorized capital of the Company
consisted of 60,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of
50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per
share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of
$0.0001 per share. As of September 30, 2018, there were
3,947,828 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no
preferred stock outstanding.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued
24,801 shares of common stock for the conversion of $50,000 of
Notes.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 16,000
shares of common stock for services valued at $57,440, $47,865 of
which was expensed during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,
based on the duration of the contract. The
certificates for these shares were issued in January
2018.
Note 8 – Stock Options and Warrants
Stock options are awarded to the Company’s employees,
consultants and non-employee members of the board of directors
under the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan and are generally granted
with an exercise price equal to the market price of the
Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The fair value
of these stock options granted by the Company during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2018 was determined to be $0 and
$206,096, respectively, using the Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i)
volatility rate of 120% to 127%, (ii) discount rate of 0%, (iii)
zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected life of 8 years. A

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
As used
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form
10-Q”), unless the context otherwise requires, the terms
“we,” “us,” “our,”
“ENDRA” and the “Company” refer to ENDRA
Life Sciences Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned
subsidiary. The following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction
with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto
in this Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the
“safe harbor” created by those sections.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can
generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as
“believe,” “expect,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “could,”
“seek,” “intend,” “plan,”
“estimate,” “anticipate” or other
comparable terms. All statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this Form 10-Q regarding our
strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs,
plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we
make regarding expectations for revenues, cash flows and financial
performance, the anticipated results of our development efforts and
the timing for receipt of required regulatory approvals and product
launches. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts
nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only
on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the
future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections,
anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future
conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the
future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and
changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of
which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial
condition may differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any
of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could
cause our actual results and financial condition to differ
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements
include, among others, the following: our limited commercial
experience, limited cash and history of losses; our ability to
obtain adequate financing to fund our business operations in the
future; our ability to achieve profitability; our ability to
develop a commercially feasible application based on our
Thermo-Acoustic Enhanced Ultrasound (“TAEUS”)
technology; market acceptance of our technology; results of our
human studies, which may be negative or inconclusive; our ability
to find and maintain development partners; our reliance on
collaborations and strategic alliances and licensing arrangements;
the amount and nature of competition in our industry; our ability
to protect our intellectual property; potential changes in the
healthcare industry or third-party reimbursement practices; delays
and changes in regulatory requirements, policy and guidelines
including potential delays in submitting required regulatory
applications for CE mark certification or Food and Drug
Administration (“FDA”) approval; our ability to obtain
CE mark certification and secure required FDA and other
governmental approvals for our TAEUS applications; our ability to
comply with regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign
governmental agencies and to maintain necessary regulatory
clearances or approvals; and the other risks and uncertainties
described in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC
on March 20, 2018, and in the Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section
of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be
made from time to time, whether as a result of new information,
future developments or otherwise.
Overview
We are leveraging experience with pre-clinical enhanced ultrasound
devices to develop technology for increasing the capabilities of
clinical diagnostic ultrasound, to broaden patient access to the
safe diagnosis and treatment of a number of significant medical
conditions in circumstances where expensive X-ray computed
tomography (“CT”) and magnetic resonance imaging
(“MRI”) technology is unavailable or
impractical.
In 2010, we began marketing and selling our Nexus 128 system, which
combined light-based thermoacoustics and ultrasound to address the
imaging needs of researchers studying disease models in
pre-clinical applications. Building on this expertise in
thermoacoustics, we have developed a next-generation technology
platform — Thermo Acoustic Enhanced Ultrasound, or TAEUS
— which is intended to enhance the capability of clinical
ultrasound technology and support the diagnosis and treatment of a
number of significant medical conditions that currently require the
use of expensive CT or MRI imaging or where imaging is not
practical using existing technology.
Unlike the near-infrared light pulses used in our legacy Nexus 128
system, our TAEUS technology uses radio frequency
(“RF”) pulses to stimulate tissues, using a small
fraction of the energy that would be transmitted into the body
during an MRI scan. The use of RF energy allows our TAEUS
technology to penetrate deep into tissue, enabling the imaging of
human anatomy at depths equivalent to those of conventional
ultrasound. The RF pulses are absorbed by tissue and converted into
ultrasound signals, which are detected by an external ultrasound
receiver and a digital acquisition system that is part of the TAEUS
system. The detected ultrasound is processed into images using our
proprietary algorithms and displayed to complement conventional
gray-scale ultrasound images.
We expect that the first-generation TAEUS application will be a
standalone ultrasound accessory designed to cost-effectively
quantify fat in the liver and stage progression of non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease, or (“NAFLD”), which can only be
achieved today with impractical surgical biopsies or MRI scans.
Subsequent TAEUS offerings are expected to be implemented via a
second generation hardware platform that can run multiple clinical
software applications that we will offer TAEUS users for a one-time
licensing fee – adding ongoing customer value to the TAEUS
platform and a growing software revenue stream for our
Company.
15
Each of our TAEUS platform applications will require regulatory
approvals before we are able to sell or license the application.
Based on certain factors, such as the installed base of ultrasound
systems, availability of other imaging technologies, such as CT and
MRI, economic strength and applicable regulatory requirements, we
intend to seek initial approval of our applications for sale in the
European Union, followed by the United States and
China.
In April 2016, we entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement
with General Electric Company, acting through its GE Healthcare
business unit and the GE Global Research Center (collectively,
“GE Healthcare”). Under the terms of the agreement, GE
Healthcare has agreed to assist us in our efforts to commercialize
our TAEUS technology for use in a fatty liver application by, among
other things, providing equipment and technical advice, and
facilitating introductions to GE Healthcare clinical ultrasound
customers. In return for this assistance, we have agreed to afford
GE Healthcare certain rights of first offer with respect to
manufacturing and licensing rights for the target application. More
specifically, we have agreed that, prior to commercially releasing
our NAFLD TAEUS application, we will offer to negotiate an
exclusive ultrasound manufacturer relationship with GE Healthcare
for a period of at least one year of commercial sales. The
commercial sales would involve, within our sole discretion, either
our Company commercially selling GE Healthcare ultrasound systems
as the exclusive ultrasound system with our TAEUS fatty liver
application embedded, or GE Healthcare being the exclusive
ultrasound manufacturer to sell ultrasound systems with our TAEUS
fatty liver application embedded. The agreement is subject to
termination by either party upon not less than 60 days’
notice. On January 30, 2018, we and GE Healthcare entered into
an amendment to our agreement, extending its term by 21 months
to January 22, 2020.
In November 2017 we engaged two firms that specialize in medical
device software development to commence productization of our TAEUS
device targeting NAFLD. The agreements call for these vendors to
provide us with the specialized engineering resources necessary to
translate our current prototype TAEUS device into a clinical
product meeting CE regulatory requirements required for commercial
launch in the European Union followed by FDA submission for the
U.S. market.
In November 2017, we contracted with the Centre for Imaging
Technology Commercialization (CIMTEC) to initiate human studies
with our TAEUS device targeting NAFLD. In October 2018 we received
approval from Health Canada to initiate these studies which are
expected to provide key insights into clinical work flow and
quantitative methodologies for the device and are now underway. We
anticipate announcing results from these studies during the fourth
quarter of 2018.
In June
2018, we reported that, in order to focus our resources on
developing our TAEUS technology for clinical use, we are exploring
strategic alternatives with respect to our pre-clinical business,
including a potential sale.
Financial Operations Overview
Revenue
To date our revenue has been generated by the placement and sale of
our discontinued Nexus 128 thermoacoustic imaging systems for use
in pre-clinical applications, and related service revenue. No
revenue has been generated by our TAEUS technology, which is in
development.
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold is related to our direct costs associated
with the development and shipment of our discontinued Nexus 128
systems placed in pre-clinical settings.
Research and Development Expenses
Our research and development expenses primarily include wages, fees
and equipment for the development of our TAEUS technology platform
and the proposed applications. Additionally, we incur certain costs
associated with the protection of our products and inventions
through a combination of patents, licenses, applications and
disclosures.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising,
marketing and consulting expenses and headcount. Currently, our
marketing efforts are through our website and attendance of key
industry meetings. In connection with the commercialization of our
TAEUS applications, we expect to build a small sales and marketing
team to train and support global ultrasound distributors, as well
as execute traditional marketing activities such as promotional
materials, electronic media and participation in industry
conferences.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries
and related expenses for our management and personnel, and
professional fees, such as accounting, consulting and
legal.
16
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including
deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity
instruments and reserves for any other commitments or
contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized
in the period in which such adjustments are
determined.
Share-based Compensation
Our 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan permits the grant of share options
and shares to our employees, consultants and non-employee members
of our board of directors for up to 1,345,074 shares of common
stock. Each January 1 the pool of shares available for issuance
under the Omnibus Plan will automatically increase by an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares necessary such that
the aggregate number of shares available under the Omnibus Plan
equals 25% of the number of fully-diluted outstanding shares on the
increase date (assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of
preferred stock and other outstanding convertible securities and
exercise of all outstanding options and warrants to purchase
shares) and (ii) if the board of directors takes action to set a
lower amount, the amount determined by the board.
We record share-based compensation in accordance with the
provisions of the Share-based Compensation Topic of the FASB
Codification. The guidance requires the use of option-pricing
models that require the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the option’s expected life and the price volatility
of the underlying stock. The fair value of each option grant is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
valuation model which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free
interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the common
stock options, and future dividends, and the resulting charge is
expensed using the straight-line attribution method over the
vesting period.
Stock compensation expense recognized during the period is based on
the value of share-based awards that were expected to vest during
the period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The estimated fair
value of grants of stock options and warrants to non-employees is
charged to expense, if applicable, in the financial
statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements for a
discussion of recently issued accounting standards.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
Revenues
We had
revenue of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as
compared to $287,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
The revenue in 2017 was a result of service activity on our
installed base of Nexus 128 pre-clinical systems. On June 15,
2018, we reported that would
explore strategic alternatives with respect to our pre-clinical
business, comprised of the assembly and sale of our Nexus 128
system, including a potential sale. We will continue to honor our
commitments under current contracts relating to Nexus 128 systems,
but we do not expect to generate substantial revenue from this
business in the future.
Cost of Goods Sold
There
was no cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30,
2018. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30,
2017 was $118,270. The cost of goods sold was a result of costs
associated with the sale of a Nexus 128 system. Gross margin was
approximately 59% for the three months ended September 30,
2017.
Research and Development
Research
and development expenses were $1,162,911 for the three months ended
September 30, 2018, as compared to $300,527 for the three months
ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $862,384, or 287%. The
costs include primarily wages, fees and equipment for the
development of our TAEUS product line. Research and development
expenses increased from the same period for the prior year due
primarily to increased efforts to develop TAEUS applications with
proceeds from our May 2017 initial public offering (the
“IPO”), including by our contracted development
vendors.
17
Sales and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expenses were $72,179 for the three months ended
September 30, 2018, as compared to $47,375 for the three months
ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $24,804, or 52%. The
increase was primarily due to spending for initial
commercialization efforts for our TAEUS product line. Currently our
marketing efforts are through our website and attendance of key
industry meetings. Our future clinical business will involve hiring
and training additional staff to support our sales efforts. As we
seek to complete the development and commercialization of our TAEUS
applications, we intend to build a small sales and marketing team
to train and support global ultrasound distributors, as well as
execute traditional marketing activities such as promotional
materials, electronic media and participation in industry
conferences.
General and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2018 were $832,883, an increase of $101,121, or 14%,
compared to $731,762 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
General and administrative expenses increased due to additional
headcount and related costs. Our wage and related expenses for
the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $355,041, compared
to $376,810 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Wage and
related expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2018,
included $43,125 for bonuses, $142,674 of stock compensation
expense related to the issuance and vesting of options, compared to
$183,473 of stock compensation expense for the same period in 2017.
Our professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2018
were $332,636, compared to $253,811 for the three months ended
September 30, 2017.
Impairment of Inventory
During
the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had a one time write
down of inventory available for our Nexus 128 product of $287,541.
There was no such expense during the three months ended September
30, 2017.
Net Loss
As a
result of the foregoing, for the three months ended September 30,
2018, we recorded a net loss of $2,758,575 compared to a net loss
of $908,908 for the three months ended September 30,
2017.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
Revenue
We had
revenue of $6,174 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as
compared to $344,772 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The revenue was a result of service activity on our installed base
of Nexus 128 pre-clinical systems. On June 15,
2018, we reported that would
explore strategic alternatives with respect to our pre-clinical
business, comprised of the assembly and sale of its Nexus 128
system, including a potential sale. We will continue to honor our
commitments under current contracts relating to Nexus 128 systems
but we do not expect to generate substantial revenue from this
business in the future.
Cost of Goods Sold
There
was no cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30,
2018. Cost of goods sold was
$169,697 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The cost of
goods sold was a result of both direct costs to build a Nexus 128
pre-clinical system, and product service materials required for the
service of a Nexus 128 system. Gross margin was approximately 51%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Research and Development
Research
and development expenses were $3,671,490 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018, as compared to $571,066 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $3,100,424, or 543%. The
costs include primarily wages, fees and equipment for the
development of our TAEUS product line. Research and development
expenses increased from the same period for the prior year due
primarily to increased spending developing TAEUS applications with
proceeds from the IPO, which included expenses for our contracted
development vendors.
Sales and Marketing
Sales
and marketing expenses were $220,713 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018, as compared to $55,403 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $165,310, or 298%. The
increase was primarily due to spending for initial
commercialization efforts for our TAEUS product line. Currently our
marketing efforts are through our website and attendance of key
industry meetings. Our future clinical business will involve hiring
and training additional staff to support our sales efforts. As we
seek to complete the development and commercialization of our TAEUS
applications, we intend to build a small sales and marketing team
to train and support global ultrasound distributors, as well as
execute traditional marketing activities such as promotional
materials, electronic media and participation in industry
conferences.
18
General and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 were $2,842,631, an increase of $964,538, or
51%, compared to $1,878,093 for the nine months ended September 30,
2017. General and administrative expenses increased due to an
increase in headcount and as a result of being a public company.
Our wage and related expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2018 were $1,271,744, compared to $876,016 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017. Wage and related expenses in
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, included $221,075 for
bonuses, $468,716 of stock compensation expense related to the
issuance and vesting of options, compared to $422,698 of stock
compensation expense for the same period in 2017. Our professional
fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $1,185,775,
compared to $767,875 for the nine months ended September 30,
2017.
Impairment of Inventory
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had a one time write
down of inventory available for our Nexus 128 product of $287,541.
There was no such expense during the nine months ended September
30, 2017.
Net Loss
As a
result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended September 30,
2018, we recorded a net loss of $7,430,651 compared to a net loss
of $3,082,322 for the nine months ended September 30,
2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date
we have funded our operations through private and public sales of
our securities. As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately
$640,000 in cash. In May 2017, we completed the IPO, raising net
proceeds of approximately $8.6 million after deducting offering
expenses of approximately $0.8 million in underwriting discounts,
commissions and expenses and approximately $0.3 million in offering
expenses payable by us. In June 2018, we completed the placement of
senior secured convertible promissory notes and warrants, raising
net proceeds of approximately $935,000 after deducting offering
expenses of approximately $142,000 payable by us. The promissory
notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum until maturity on
December 31, 2018. On October 15,
2018, we completed an underwritten public offering with National
Securities Corporation for the issuance and sale of 1,477,750
shares of our common stock. The net proceeds from this offering
were approximately $2.7 million, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and other offering
expenses.
We
believe that cash on hand at September 30, 2018, together with the
net proceeds from our October 2018 underwritten public offering,
will be sufficient to fund our current operations into the second
quarter of 2019. If we do not raise additional capital in the next
several months we will need to significantly slow or pause our
business activities until such time as we are able to raise
additional capital. We continue to evaluate and manage our capital
needs to support our clinical, regulatory and operational
activities and prepare for the results of our human studies data
and EU commercialization. We are currently exploring potential
financing options that may be available to us, including additional
sales of our common stock. However, we have no commitments to
obtain any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such
funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are
unable to obtain additional financing in a timely fashion and on
terms acceptable to us, our financial condition and results of
operations may be materially adversely affected and we may not be
able to continue operations or execute our stated commercialization
plan.
The
financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared
assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the
accompanying financial statements, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2018, we incurred net losses of approximately $7.4
million, and used cash in operations of approximately $5.8 million.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of
the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Operating Activities
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we used $5,800,054 of
cash in operating activities primarily as a result of our net loss
of $7,430,651 offset by share-based compensation of $1,060,012,
depreciation and amortization expenses of $48,246, amortization of
debt discount of $383,428, impairment of inventory of $287,541 and
net changes in operating assets and liabilities of
$(148,630).
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we used $1,925,329 of
cash in operating activities primarily as a result of our net loss
of $3,082,322, offset in part by $711,472 for the amortization of
discount of convertible debt, $600,514 in non-cash stock
compensation expense, $46,121 in depreciation and amortization
expense, imputed interest of $1,480, and net changes in operating
assets and liabilities of $(202,594).
Investing Activities
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company used $100,000
in investing activities related to purchase of
equipment.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company used $7,862
in investing activities related to purchase of
equipment.
19
Financing Activities
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2018, financing activities
provided $935,300 in proceeds from the placement of senior secured
convertible promissory notes.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, financing activities
provided $8,590,700 in proceeds from the IPO and $225,000 in
proceeds from convertible notes. The Company used $50,000 in
repayments of notes payable.
Funding Requirements
We have
not completed development of our TAEUS technology platform
applications. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses
for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will
increase substantially as we:
●
advance the engineering design and development of our NAFLD TAEUS
application;
●
prepare regulatory filings required for marketing approval of our
NAFLD TAEUS application in the European Union and the United
States;
●
seek to hire a small internal marketing team to engage and support
channel partners and clinical customers for our NAFLD TAEUS
application;
●
commence marketing of our NAFLD TAEUS application;
●
advance development of our other TAEUS applications;
and
●
add operational, financial and management information systems and
personnel, including personnel to support our product development,
planned commercialization efforts and our operation as a public
company.
It is
possible that we will not achieve the progress that we expect
because the actual costs and timing of completing the development
and regulatory approvals for a new medical device are difficult to
predict and are subject to substantial risks and delays. We have no
committed external sources of funds. We do not expect that our
existing cash will be sufficient for us to complete the
commercialization of our NAFLD TAEUS application or to complete the
development of any other TAEUS application and we will need to
raise substantial additional capital for those purposes. As a
result, we will need to finance our future cash needs through
public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate
collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing
alternatives. Our forecast of the period of time through which our
financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a
forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and
actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors,
including the factors discussed in the section of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, entitled
“Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We have
based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and
we could utilize our available capital resources sooner than we
currently expect.
Until
we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from our TAEUS
platform applications, if ever, we expect to finance future cash
needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings
or corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. Additional
funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are
acceptable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available,
we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one
or more of our research or development programs or our
commercialization efforts or perhaps even cease the operation of
our business. To the extent that we raise additional funds by
issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience
additional dilution, and debt financing, if available, may involve
restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds
through collaborations and licensing arrangements, it may be
necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or
applications or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable
to us. We may seek to access the public or private capital markets
whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an
immediate need for additional capital at that time.
NASDAQ Capital Market Listing
Our
common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The
Nasdaq Capital Market imposes, among other requirements, listing
maintenance standards including minimum bid price and
stockholders’ equity requirements. In particular, Nasdaq
rules require us to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity
of $2,500,000. On August 16, 2018, we received a notification
letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC notifying us that, based on our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we no longer maintained
the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity required for
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Marketplace
Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”).
The
notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the
Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The
notification letter stated that, under Nasdaq rules, we had 45
calendar days, or until October 1, 2018, to submit a plan to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule. In accordance with the
notification letter, we submitted a plan to regain compliance and
on October 23, 2018 Nasdaq notified us that it had accepted the
plan and granted us an extension until February 15, 2019 to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule. We
expect to be able to regain compliance with the Equity Rule by on
or before February 15, 2019 but there can be no assurance that we
will be able to do so, or that we will be able to maintain
compliance with Nasdaq’s other continued listing requirements
or remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
20
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
At
September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any transactions,
obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance
sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market
Risk
As a
smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the
information required by this Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, management
performed, with the participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures. Based on the evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that,
as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.
A material weakness is 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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. We identified the following material
weakness as of September 30, 2018: insufficient personnel resources
within the accounting function to segregate the duties over
financial transaction processing and reporting.
To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to
implement the following measures, as finances allow:
●
Adding sufficient accounting personnel or outside consultants to
properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate
preparation of the financial statements.
● Developing
and maintaining adequate written accounting policies and
procedures, once we hire additional accounting personnel or outside
consultants.
The
additional hiring is contingent upon our efforts to obtain
additional funding and the results of our operations. Management
expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no
assurances that it will be able to do so.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that
could affect these controls during the three month period ended
September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting. However, our management is currently seeking to improve
our controls and procedures in an effort to remediate the
deficiency described above.
21
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are
not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings that we
believe will have a material adverse effect on our business or
financial condition. We may, however, be subject to various claims
and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from
time to time.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risk factor and uncertainties described below
and the other information set forth in this report, you should
carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk
Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 20, 2018. These factors could materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity,
results of operations and capital position, and could cause our
actual results to differ materially from our historical results or
the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements
contained in this report.
We will need to raise additional capital to meet our business
requirements in the future, including obligations relating to
outstanding indebtedness, and such capital raising may be costly or
difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’
ownership interests.
We have
a history of losses from operations and expect to continue to incur
losses until we are able to significantly grow our
revenues. In our June 2018
private placement transaction, we issued senior secured convertible
promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,077,000
with a maturity date of December 31, 2018. Although we
completed a public offering of our common stock in October 2018 for
net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million, we will need additional
financing to maintain and expand our business along with repaying
the promissory notes at maturity. Such financing may not be
available on favorable terms, if at all.
If we
are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis,
we may have to curtail our development activities and growth plans
and/or be forced to sell assets, perhaps on unfavorable terms,
which would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately could
be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate, in which
event it is unlikely that stockholders would receive any
distribution on their shares. See “Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
Further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not
generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in
business.
Any
additional capital raised through the sale of equity or
equity-linked securities may dilute current stockholders’
ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the
market value of our equity securities. Additionally, the terms of
any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be
more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences,
superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other
derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on
the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.
In
addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital
financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees,
accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and
distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to
recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities
we issue, such as convertible promissory notes and warrants, which
may adversely impact our financial results.
If we fail to satisfy applicable listing standards, including
maintenance of at least $2.5 million of stockholders’ equity,
our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital
Market.
Our
common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The
Nasdaq Capital Market imposes, among other requirements, listing
maintenance standards including minimum bid price and
stockholders’ equity requirements. In particular, Nasdaq
rules require us to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity
of $2,500,000. On August 16, 2018, we received a notification
letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC notifying us that, based on our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we no longer maintained
the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity required for
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Marketplace
Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”).
The
notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the
Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The
notification letter stated that, under Nasdaq rules, we had 45
calendar days, or until October 1, 2018, to submit a plan to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule. In accordance with the
notification letter, we submitted a plan to regain compliance and
on October 23, 2018 Nasdaq notified us that it had accepted the
plan and granted us an extension until February 15, 2019 to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule. We expect to be able to regain
compliance with the Equity Rule by on or before February 15, 2019
but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so, or
that we will be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s
other continued listing requirements or remain listed on the Nasdaq
Capital Market.
22
If our
common stock were delisted from NASDAQ, among other things, it
could lead to a number of negative implications, including reduced
liquidity in our common stock, the loss of federal preemption of
state securities laws and greater difficulty in obtaining
financing.
We cannot be certain that results from limited animal and human
studies of any of our TAEUS applications will be indicative of
future studies or that any of our TAEUS applications will be
successfully commercialized.
To
successfully commercialize any application based on our TAEUS
platform technology, we expect it will be necessary to conduct
various pre-clinical and human studies to demonstrate that the
product is safe and effective for human use. In October 2018 we
initiated certain human studies of our
TAEUS device targeting NAFLD which are expected to provide key
insights into clinical work flow and quantitative methodologies for
the device. There can be no assurance that results from this
or any other study will be favorable. Favorable results in this or
any other pre-clinical study or early clinical trial do not
guarantee that favorable results will ultimately be obtained in
future studies or clinical trials. We cannot make any assurance
that results of limited animal and human studies are indicative of
results that would be achieved in future animal studies or human
clinical studies, which may be required in order for our
applications incorporating our technology to obtain regulatory
approval. Even if clinical trials or other studies demonstrate
safety and effectiveness of any of product candidates incorporating
our technology for a specific disease or condition and the
necessary regulatory approvals are obtained, the commercial success
of any of such product candidates will depend upon their acceptance
by patients, the medical community, and third-party payers and on
our partners’ ability to successfully manufacture and
commercialize such product candidates.
Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds
from Registered Securities
On May
8, 2017, our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File
No. 333-193522), was declared effective by the SEC and, on May 8,
2017, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-217788)
became effective upon filing with the SEC. Each such Registration
Statement was filed in connection with our initial public offering,
as a result of which we raised net proceeds of approximately $8.6
million.
We
estimate that we have used all of the
net proceeds from our initial public offering in the
manner described in the final prospectus relating to the offering
filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act
on May 10, 2017.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not
applicable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Other Information
On
November 5, 2018, we issued an earnings release reporting our
