GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

  

1.ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly SpectRx, Inc.), together with its wholly owned subsidiary, InterScan, Inc. (formerly Guided Therapeutics, Inc.), collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, is a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. The Company’s primary focus is the continued commercialization of its LuViva non-invasive cervical cancer detection device and extension of its cancer detection technology into other cancers, including esophageal. The Company’s technology, including products in research and development, primarily relates to biophotonics technology for the non-invasive detection of cancers.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

All information and footnote disclosures included in the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

A 1:800 reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was implemented on March 29, 2019. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into 1 share of common stock. All fractional shares created by the reverse stock split were rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. The reverse stock split decreased the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 2,652,309,322 shares to 3,319,486 shares as of that date with rounding. See Note 4, Stockholders’ Deficit. Unless otherwise specified, all per share amounts are reported on a post-stock split basis, as of March 31, 2019.

The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by entrants into the medical device industry. This industry is characterized by an increasing number of participants, intense competition and a high failure rate. The Company has experienced net losses since its inception and, as of March 31, 2019, it had an accumulated deficit of approximately $137.9 million. To date, the Company has engaged primarily in research and development efforts and the early stages of marketing its products. The Company may not be successful in growing sales for its products. Moreover, required regulatory clearances or approvals may not be obtained in a timely manner, or at all. The Company’s products may not ever gain market acceptance and the Company may not ever generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. The development and commercialization of the Company’s products requires substantial development, regulatory, sales and marketing, manufacturing and other expenditures. The Company expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to expend substantial resources to complete development of its products, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals, build its marketing, sales, manufacturing and finance capabilities, and conduct further research and development.

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming it will continue as a going concern. The factors below raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

At March 31, 2019, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $11.5 million, accumulated deficit of $137.9 million, and incurred a net loss of $0.2 million for the three months then ended. Stockholders’ deficit totaled approximately $16.0 million at March 31, 2019, primarily due to recurring net losses from operations, deemed dividends on warrants and preferred stock, offset by proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants and proceeds from sales of stock.

 

The Company’s capital-raising efforts are ongoing and the Company has taken the following steps to increase the likelihood of a successful financing: 1) Debt has been significantly reduced and additional agreements are in place, contingent on a successful financing, to reduce debt even further either by forgiveness of debt and/or exchanges of debt for equity 2) Monthly operating expenses have been reduced by nearly 50% since the beginning of 2017 and 3) Variable rate loans for the most part have either been paid off or converted to equity. If sufficient capital cannot be raised during 2019, the Company will continue its plans of curtailing operations by reducing discretionary spending and staffing levels and attempting to operate by only pursuing activities for which it has external financial support. However, there can be no assurance that such external financial support will be sufficient to maintain even limited operations or that the Company will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms, or at all. In such a case, the Company might be required to enter into unfavorable agreements or, if that is not possible, be unable to continue operations, and to the extent practicable, liquidate and/or file for bankruptcy protection.

 

 6 

 

 

 

The Company had warrants exercisable for approximately 37.7 million shares of its common stock outstanding at March 31, 2019 with exercise prices ranging between $0.04 and $32.0 million per share. The Company estimates that only a portion of these warrants would be exercisable given the high exercise prices and would generate a total of approximately $1.5 million in cash, assuming full exercise, although the Company cannot be assured that holders will exercise any warrants. Management may obtain additional funds through the public or private sale of debt or equity, and grants, if available. However, please refer to Footnote 10 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT IN DEFAULT in the paragraph: Debt Restructuring for more information regarding our warrants.

 

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies were set forth in the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas where estimates are used include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and input variables for Black-Scholes, Monte Carlo simulations and binomial calculations. The Company uses the Monte Carlo simulations and binomial calculations in the calculation of the fair value of the warrant liabilities and the valuation of embedded conversion options and freestanding warrants.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Guided Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.

 

Accounting Standard Updates

 

Implemented

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” that requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Distributors (Topic 606),” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with distributors and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to distributors in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Distributors (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”); ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Distributors (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”); ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Distributors (Topic 606) Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” (“ASU 2016-12”); and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Distributors,” (“ASU 2016-20”), which are intended to provide additional guidance and clarity to ASU 2014-09. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 along with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “New Revenue Standards”). The New Revenue Standards may be applied using one of two retrospective application methods: (1) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented, or (2) a modified retrospective approach that presents a cumulative effect as of the adoption date and additional required disclosures. The Company has evaluated the adoption of this guidance and has taken a modified retrospective approach to the presentation of revenue from contracts with distributors. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, with no impact on its 2018 financial statements. The cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance had no impact on its financial statements in future periods.

 

 7 

 

 

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendment of ASU 2018-02 states an entity may elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Not Implemented

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. The guidance in this new standard replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. Adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, including removals of, modification to, and additional disclosure requirements from Topic 820. The amendment of ASU 2018-13 removes disclosure requirements from Topic 820 in the areas of (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Except for certain amendments related to Level 3 fair value measurements, all the other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the ASU 2018-13. The Company believes that the adoption of this new standard will have no material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations and has not elected to early adopt the amendment. 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (or ASU 2018-15). ASU 2018-15 requires a customer that is a party to a cloud computing service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which costs to expense. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this update is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company believes that the adoption of this new standard will have no material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations and has not elected to early adopt the amendment. 

 

 8 

 

 

Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its distributors’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral. The Company reviews all outstanding accounts receivable for collectability on a quarterly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for any amounts deemed uncollectable. The Company does not accrue interest receivable on past due accounts receivable.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company, from time to time during the years covered by these consolidated financial statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management has deemed this a normal business risk.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when incurred. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our inventories were as follows (in thousands):

 

   March 31,  December 31,
   2019  2018
Raw materials  $781   $783 
Work in process   81    81 
Finished goods   17    17 
Inventory reserve   (767)   (767)

The Company maintains reserves for excess and obsolete inventories to reflect inventory at stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s estimate for excess and obsolete inventory is based upon the assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The establishment of a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory establishes a new cost basis in the inventory. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold. If the Company was able to sell such inventory any related reserves would be reversed in the period of sale.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized at the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Depreciation and amortization expense are included in general and administrative expense on the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are summarized as follows at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

 

   March 31,  December 31,

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability consistent with the debt discount.

 

Other Assets

 

Other assets primarily consist of a deposit for the corporate office.

 

Patent Costs (Principally Legal Fees)

 

Costs incurred in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining patents are recurring, and expensed as incurred. Maintaining patents are expensed as incurred as the Company has not yet received U.S. FDA approval and recovery of these costs is uncertain. Such costs aggregated approximately $7,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Leases

With the implementation of ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, the Company recorded a lease asset-right and a lease liability. The implementation required the analysis of certain criteria in determining its treatment. The Company determined that its corporate office lease met those criteria. The Company implemented the guidance using the alternative transition method. Under this alternative, the effective date would be the date of initial application. The Company analyzed the lease at its effective date and calculated an initial lease payment amount of $267,380 with a present value of $213,000 using a 20% discount. As of March 31, 2019, the balance of the lease asset – right and lease liability was $202,000.

 

The cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance had an immaterial impact on the opening balance of retained earnings, The Company does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated net earnings in future periods. The Company elected the Practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standards, which allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows, ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In contrast, Revenue based revenue recognition around an analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards; this now forms one of a number of criteria that are assessed in determining whether control has been transferred. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps: Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract. Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and, the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted. Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

Customer deposits

 

The Company follows the same principal as explained in Revenue Recognition and ASC 606. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company has received prepayments for devices and disposables and recorded this as customer deposits in the amount of $100,000 and $66,000, respectively.

  

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses consist of expenditures for research conducted by the Company and payments made under contracts with consultants or other outside parties and costs associated with internal and contracted clinical trials. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Management provides valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for amounts that are not considered more likely than not to be realized.

The Company is currently delinquent with its federal and applicable state tax return filings, payments and certain Federal and State Unemployment Tax filings. Some of the federal income tax returns are currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Company has entered into an agreed upon payment plan with the IRS for delinquent payroll taxes. The Company is currently in process of setting up a payment arrangement for its delinquent state income taxes with the State of Georgia and the returns are currently under review by state authorities. Although the Company has been experiencing recurring losses, it is obligated to file tax returns for compliance with IRS regulations and that of applicable state jurisdictions. At December 31, 2018, the Company has approximately $77.2 million of net operating losses. This net operating loss will be eligible to be carried forward for tax purposes at federal and applicable states level. A full valuation allowance has been recorded related the deferred tax assets generated from the net operating losses.

Corporate tax rates in the U.S. have decreased from 34% to 21%.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company assesses each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no uncertain tax positions.

Warrants

 

The Company has issued warrants, which allow the warrant holder to purchase one share of stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. The Company records equity instruments including warrants issued to non-employees based on the fair value at the date of issue. The fair value of warrants classified as equity instruments at the date of issuance is estimated using the Black-Scholes Model. The fair value of warrants classified as liabilities at the date of issuance is estimated using the Monte Carlo Simulation or Binomial model.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company records compensation expense related to options granted to employees and non-employees based on the fair value of the award.

 

Compensation cost is recorded as earned for all unvested stock options outstanding at the beginning of the first year based upon the grant date fair value estimates, and for compensation cost for all share-based payments granted or modified subsequently based on fair value estimates.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 share-based compensation for options attributable to employees, non-emplolyees, officers and Board members were approximately $5,000 and $13,000. These amounts have been included in the Company’s statements of operations. Compensation costs for stock options which vest over time are recognized over the vesting period. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $2,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to granted stock options that will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately one year.

Beneficial Conversion Features of Convertible Securities

 

Conversion options that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815 and not accounted for as a separate equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether they are beneficial to the investor at inception (a beneficial conversion feature) or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments. The beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible stock as well as convertible debt which are outside the scope of ASC 815. A beneficial conversion feature is defined as a nondetachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The beneficial conversion feature guidance requires recognition of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion, the intrinsic value of the option, in equity, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying amount of the instrument. The resulting discount is amortized as a dividend over either the life of the instrument, if a stated maturity date exists, or to the earliest conversion date, if there is no stated maturity date. If the earliest conversion date is immediately upon issuance, the dividend must be recognized at inception. When there is a subsequent change to the conversion ratio based on a future occurrence, the new conversion price may trigger the recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.

 

Derivatives

 

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issued to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument

 

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

 

3.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The guidance for fair value measurements, ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as follow:

 

  · Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

 

  · Level 2 – Inputs, other than level 1 inputs, either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

  · Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using internal estimates and assumptions (there is little or no market date) which reflects those that market participants would use.

 

The Company records its derivative activities at fair value, which consisted of warrants as of March 31, 2019. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Binomial Simulation model. Gains and losses from derivative contracts are included in net gain (loss) from derivative contracts in the statement of operations. The fair value of the Company’s derivative warrants is classified as a Level 3 measurement, since unobservable inputs are used in the valuation.

On January 22, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shandong Yaohua Medical Instrument Corporation, or SMI, pursuant to which the Company granted SMI an exclusive global license to manufacture the LuViva device and related disposables (subject to a carve-out for manufacture in Turkey) and exclusive distribution rights in the Peoples Republic of China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In exchange for the license, SMI will pay a $1.0 million licensing fee, payable in five installments through November 2017, as well as a royalty on each disposable sold in the territories. As of March 31, 2019, SMI had paid $750,000. SMI will also underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with the Chinese Food and Drug Administration, or CFDA. Pursuant to the SMI agreement, SMI must become capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices by the second anniversary of the SMI agreement, which would have caused the forfeiture of the license. The Company has granted an extension of the forfeiture expiration date and is currently negotiating the terms with SMI. Based on the agreement, SMI must purchase no fewer than ten devices (with up to two devices pushed to 2018 if there is a delay in obtaining approval from the CFDA). SMI purchased five devices in 2017 and have not purchased any in 2018. In the three years following CFDA approval, SMI must purchase a minimum of 3,500 devices (500 in the first year, 1,000 in the second, and 2,000 in the third) or else forfeit the license. As manufacturer of the devices and disposables, SMI will be obligated to sell each to us at costs no higher than our current costs. As partial consideration for, and as a condition to, the license, and to further align the strategic interests of the parties, the Company agreed to issue $1.0 million in shares of its common stock to SMI, in five installments through October 2017, at a price per share equal to the lesser of the average closing price for the five days prior to issuance or $1.25. These shares have not been issued as of March 31, 2019.

 

In order to facilitate the SMI agreement, immediately prior to its execution the Company entered into an agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC, regarding its previous license to Shenghuo (see Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies). Under the terms of the new agreement, Shenghuo agreed to relinquish its manufacturing license and its distribution rights in SMI’s territories, and to waive its rights under the original Shenghuo agreement, all for as long as SMI performs under the SMI agreement. As consideration, the Company agreed to split with Shenghuo the licensing fees and net royalties from SMI that the Company will receive under the SMI agreement. Should the SMI agreement be terminated, the Company have agreed to re-issue the original license to Shenghuo under the original terms. The Company’s COO and director, Mark Faupel, is a shareholder of Shenghuo, and a former director, Richard Blumberg, is a managing member of Shenghuo.

 

During 2018, the Company had exercised its rights under the $10,000,000 GHS Equity Financing Agreement entered into on March 1, 2018, to exercise puts of $47,320 for the issuance of 87,500 common stock shares. Pursuant to the agreement a put maybe executed for a price that is 80% of the “market price” which is the average of the two lowest volume weighted average prices of the Company’s common stock for 15 consecutive trading days preceding the put date.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $.001 par value. The board of directors has the authority to issue these shares and to set dividends, voting and conversion rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, and other rights and restrictions. The board of directors designated 525,000 shares of preferred stock redeemable convertible preferred stock, none of which remain outstanding, 33,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock, none of which remain outstanding, 9,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), of which 286 were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively and 20,250 shares of preferred stock as Series C1 Preferred Stock, of which 1,050 shares were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Series C1 Preferred Stock, including the chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and the Chief Operating Officer and a director of the Company (the “Exchange Agreements”), pursuant to which those holders separately agreed to exchange each share of the Series C1 Preferred Stock held for one (1) share of the Company’s newly created Series C2 preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C2 Preferred Stock”). In total, for 3,262.25 shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock to be surrendered, the Company issued 3,262.25 shares of Series C2 Preferred Stock.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, including John Imhoff and Mark Faupel, members of the Board, for the issuance, exchange and sale of an aggregate of 6,737 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price of $750 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share. Additionally, during October 2015 the Company entered into an interim agreement amending the securities purchase agreement to provide for certain of the investors to purchase an additional aggregate of 1,166 shares. For a total of Series C convertible preferred stock issued of 7,903 shares. Of the 7,903 Series C convertible preferred stock issued, 1,835 were issued in exchange of Series B convertible preferred stock. Therefore 6,068 Series C preferred stock were issued at a purchase price of $750 for gross proceeds of $4,551,000. The Company received net cash proceeds of $3,698,000, after cash and non-cash expenses of $853,000.

Pursuant to the Series C certificate of designations, shares of Series C preferred stock are convertible into common stock by their holder at any time and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2019, there were 286 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $2.099 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 476 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Series C certificate of designations. The conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price of the Company’s common stock 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and 5 trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Series C preferred stock are entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0% until 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. In addition, upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the number of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted shares. At March 31, 2019, the “make-whole payment” for a converted share of Series C preferred stock would convert to 200 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series C preferred stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. In addition, the purchasers of the Series C preferred stock received, on a pro rata basis, warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1 share of Company’s common stock. The warrants contain anti-dilution adjustments in the event that the Company issues shares of common stock, or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock, at prices below the exercise price of such warrants. As a result of the anti-dilution protection, the Company is required to account for the warrants as a liability recorded at fair value each reporting period. At March 31, 2019, the exercise price per share was $512,000.

On May 23, 2016, an investor canceled certain of these warrants, exercisable into 903 shares of common stock. The same investor also transferred certain of these warrants, exercisable for 150 shares of common stock, to two investors who also had participated in the 2015 Series C financing.

Series C1 Convertible Preferred Stock

Between April 27, 2016 and May 3, 2016, the Company entered into various agreements with certain holders of Series C preferred stock, including directors John Imhoff and Mark Faupel, pursuant to which those holders separately agreed to exchange each share of Series C preferred stock held for 2.25 shares of the Company’s newly created Series C1 Preferred Stock and 12 (9,600 pre-split) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series C Exchanges”). In connection with the Series C Exchanges, each holder also agreed to roll over the $1,000 stated value per share of the holder’s shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock into the next qualifying financing undertaken by the Company on a dollar-for-dollar basis and, except in the event of an additional $50,000 cash investment in the Company by the holder, to execute a customary “lockup” agreement in connection with the financing. In total, for 1,916 shares of Series C preferred stock surrendered, the Company issued 4,312 shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock and 29 shares of common stock. At March 31, 2019, there were 1,050 shares outstanding with a conversion price of $2.099 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 381,098 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On August 31, 2018, 3,262.25 shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock were surrendered, and the Company issued 3,262.25 shares of Series C2 Preferred Stock. At March 31, 2019, shares of Series C2 had a conversion price of $2.099 per share, such that each share of Series C preferred stock would convert into approximately 476 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Series C1 preferred stock has terms that are substantially the same as the Series C preferred stock, except that the Series C1 preferred stock does not pay dividends (unless and to the extent declared on the common stock) or at-the-market “make-whole payments” and, while it has the same anti-dilution protections afforded the Series C preferred stock, it does not automatically reset in connection with a reverse stock split or conversion of our outstanding convertible debt.

Series C2 Convertible Preferred Stock

On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into agreements with certain holders of the Company’s Series C1 Preferred Stock, including the chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and the Chief Operating Officer and a director of the Company pursuant to which those holders separately agreed to exchange each share of the Series C1 Preferred Stock held for one (1) share of the Company’s newly created Series C2 Preferred Stock. In total, for 3,262.25 shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock to be surrendered, the Company issued 3,262.25 shares of Series C2 Preferred Stock.

The terms of the Series C2 Preferred Stock are substantially the same as the Series C1 Preferred Stock, except that (i) shares of Series C1 Preferred Stock may not be convertible into the Company’s common stock by their holder for a period of 180 days following the date of the filing of the Certificate of Designation (the “Lock-Up Period”); (ii) the Series C2 Preferred Stock has the right to vote as a single class with the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis, notwithstanding the Lock-Up Period; and (iii) the Series C2 Preferred Stock will automatically convert into that number of securities sold in the next Qualified Financing (as defined in the Exchange Agreement) determined by dividing the stated value ($1,000 per share) of such share of Series C2 Preferred Stock by the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing.

All outstanding warrant agreements provide for anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock splits or other changes in the Company’s corporate structure; except for (8). In addition, warrants subject to footnotes (1) and (9)-(11), (13), and (15) – (40) in the table above are subject to “lower price issuance” anti-dilution provisions that automatically reduce the exercise price of the warrants (and, in the cases of warrants subject to footnote (1), (15) and (16) in the table above, increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise), to the offering price in a subsequent issuance of the Company’s common stock, unless such subsequent issuance is exempt under the terms of the warrants.

For the warrants to footnote (15), the Company further agreed to amend the warrant issued with the original senior secured convertible note, to adjust the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant to equal the number of shares that will initially be issuable upon conversion of the new convertible note (without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations set forth in the terms of the new convertible note).

The warrants subject to footnote (1) are subject to a mandatory exercise provision. This provision permits the Company, subject to certain limitations, to require exercise of such warrants at any time following (a) the date that is the 30th day after the later of the Company’s receipt of an approvable letter from the U.S. FDA for LuViva and the date on which the common stock achieves an average market price for 20 consecutive trading days of at least $832,000.00 with an average daily trading volume during such 20 consecutive trading days of at least 250 shares, or (b) the date on which the average market price of the common stock for 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date the Company delivers a notice demanding exercise is at least $103,680,000.00 and the average daily trading volume of the common stock exceeds 250 shares for such 20 consecutive trading days. If these warrants are not timely exercised upon demand, they will expire. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company may be required to repurchase these warrants, as well as the warrants subject to footnote (1) in the table above. The holders of the warrants subject to footnote (1) in the table above have agreed to surrender the warrants, upon consummation of a qualified public financing, for new warrants exercisable for 200% of the number of shares underlying the surrendered warrants, but without certain anti-dilution protections included with the surrendered warrants.

 

The warrants subject to footnote (4) in the table above are also subject to a mandatory exercise provision. This provision permits the Company, subject to certain limitations; to require the exercise of such warrants should the average trading price of its common stock over any 30-consecutive day trading period exceed $73,728.00.

 

The warrants subject to footnote (6) in the table above are also subject to a mandatory exercise provision. This provision permits the Company, subject to certain limitations, to require exercise of 50% of the then-outstanding warrants if the trading price of its common stock is at least two times the initial warrant exercise price for any 20-day trading period. Further, in the event that the trading price of the Company’s common stock is at least 2.5 times the initial warrant exercise price for any 20-day trading period, the Company will have the right to require the immediate exercise of 50% of the then-outstanding warrants. Any warrants not exercised within the prescribed time periods will be canceled to the extent of the number of shares subject to mandatory exercise.

Series B Tranche B Warrants

As discussed in Note 3, Fair Value Measurements, between June 13, 2016 and June 14, 2016, the Company entered into various agreements with holders of the Company’s “Series B Tranche B” warrants, pursuant to which each holder separately agreed to exchange the warrants for either (1) shares of common stock equal to 166% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the surrendered warrants, or (2) new warrants exercisable for 200% of the number of shares underlying the surrendered warrants, but without certain anti-dilution protections included with the surrendered warrants. In total, for surrendered warrants then-exercisable for an aggregate of 1,482 shares of common stock (but subject to exponential increase upon operation of certain anti-dilution provisions), the Company issued or is obligated to issue 21 shares of common stock and new warrants that, if exercised as of the date hereof, would be exercisable for an aggregate of 271 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had issued 18 shares of common stock and rights to common stock shares for 3. In certain circumstances, in lieu of presently issuing all of the shares (for each holder that opted for shares of common stock), the Company and the holder further agreed that the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable warrant exchange agreement, from time to time, be obligated to issue the remaining shares to the holder. No additional consideration will be payable in connection with the issuance of the remaining shares. The holders that elected to receive shares for their surrendered warrants have agreed that they will not sell shares on any trading day in an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding 20% of the composite aggregate trading volume of the common stock for that trading day. The holders that elected to receive new warrants will be required to surrender their old warrants upon consummation of the Company’s next financing resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of at least $1 million. The new warrants will have an initial exercise price equal to the exercise price of the surrendered warrants as of immediately prior to consummation of the financing, subject to customary “downside price protection” for as long as the Company’s common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

5.   STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Company’s 1995 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) has expired pursuant to its terms, so zero shares remained available for issuance at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Plan allowed for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and stock purchase rights. The exercise price of options was determined by the Company’s board of directors, but incentive stock options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date. Options historically granted have generally become exercisable over four years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

 

Due to the 1:800 reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was implemented on March 29, 2019. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into 1 share of common stock. This resulted in the number of stock options outstanding to be zero.

 

6.   LITIGATION AND CLAIMS

 

From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the dispositions of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, depending on the amount and timing of such disposition, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of these matters could materially affect the future results of operations or cash flows in a particular year.

 

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there was no accrual recorded for any potential losses related to pending litigation.

 

7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

In December 2009, the Company moved its offices, which comprise its administrative, research and development, marketing and production facilities to 5835 Peachtree Corners East, Suite B, Norcross, Georgia 30092. The Company leased approximately 23,000 square feet under a lease that expired in June 2017. In July 2017, the Company leased the offices on a month to month basis. On February 23, 2018, the Company modified its lease to reduce its occupancy to 12,835 square feet. The fixed monthly lease expense will be: $13,859 each month for the period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending March 31, 2018; $8,022 each month for the period beginning April 1, 2018 and ending March 31, 2019; $8,268 each month for the period beginning April 1, 2019 and ending March 31, 2020; and $8,514 each month for the period beginning April 1, 2020 and ending March 31, 2021.

 

The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the estimated lease term and combine lease and non-lease components. Future minimum rental payments at March 31, 2019 under non-cancellable operating leases for office space and equipment are as follows (in thousands):

 

  Year   Amount  
  2019   88  
  2020   120  
  2021   30  
  Total   238

Related Party Contracts

 

On June 5, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC pursuant to which the Company granted Shenghuo an exclusive license to manufacture, sell and distribute LuViva in Taiwan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Shenghuo was already the Company’s exclusive distributor in China, Macau and Hong Kong, and the license extended to manufacturing in those countries as well. Under the terms of the license agreement, once Shenghuo was capable of manufacturing LuViva in accordance with ISO 13485 for medical devices, Shenghuo would pay the Company a royalty equal to $2.00 or 20% of the distributor price (subject to a discount under certain circumstances), whichever is higher, per disposable distributed within Shenghuo’s exclusive territories. In connection with the license grant, Shenghuo was to underwrite the cost of securing approval of LuViva with Chinese Food and Drug Administration. At its option, Shenghuo also would provide up to $1.0 million in furtherance of the Company’s efforts to secure regulatory approval for LuViva from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in exchange for the right to receive payments equal to 2% of the Company’s future sales in the United States, up to an aggregate of $4.0 million. Pursuant to the license agreement, Shenghuo had the option to have a designee appointed to the Company’s board of directors (former director Richard Blumberg was the designee). As partial consideration for, and as a condition to, the license, and to further align the strategic interests of the parties, the Company agreed to issue a convertible note to Shenghuo, in exchange for an aggregate cash investment of $200,000. The note will provide for a payment to Shenghuo of $300,000, expected to be due the earlier of 90 days from issuance and consummation of any capital raising transaction by the Company with net cash proceeds of at least $1.0 million. The note will accrue interest at 20% per year on any unpaid amounts due after that date. The note will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price per share of $11,137, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment. The note will be unsecured and is expected to provide for customary events of default. The Company will also issue Shenghuo a five-year warrant exercisable immediately for approximately 22 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the note, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment.

 

On January 22, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Shandong Yaohua Medical Instrument Corporation, or SMI, pursuant to which the Company granted SMI an exclusive global license to manufacture the LuViva device and related disposables (subject to a carve-out for manufacture in Turkey) and exclusive distribution rights in the Peoples Republic of China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In order to facilitate the SMI agreement, immediately prior to its execution the Company entered into an agreement with Shenghuo Medical, LLC, regarding its previous license to Shenghuo. Under the terms of the new agreement, Shenghuo agreed to relinquish its manufacturing license and its distribution rights in SMI’s territories, and to waive its rights under the original Shenghuo agreement, all for as long as SMI performs under the SMI agreement.

 

On September 6, 2016, the Company entered into a royalty agreement with one of its directors, John Imhoff, and another stockholder, Dolores Maloof, pursuant to which the Company sold to them a royalty of future sales of single-use cervical guides for LuViva. Under the terms of the royalty agreement, and for consideration of $50,000, the Company will pay them an aggregate perpetual royalty initially equal to $0.10, and from and after October 2, 2016, equal to $0.20, for each disposable that the Company sells (or that is sold by a third party pursuant to a licensing arrangement with the Company).

On August 22, 2018, the Company issued a promissory note to an investor for $150,000 in aggregate principal amount of a 6% promissory note for an aggregate purchase price of $157,500 (representing a $7,500 original issue discount). Pursuant to the promissory note the entire unpaid principal balance on the promissory note together with all accrued and unpaid interest and loan origination fees, if any, at the choice of the investor, shall be due and payable in full from the funds received by the Company from a financing of at least $2,000,000, or at the option of the investor, to be included in the Company’s financing under the same terms as the new investors with the most favorable terms making a cash investment. If the Company does not complete a financing of at least $2,000,000 within 90 days of the execution of this promissory note, any unpaid amounts shall be due in full to the investor and shall accrue interest at 12% (instead of 6%) per annum from the date thereof (90 days after execution), if not paid in full. In addition, the investor will be granted 1,500,000 warrants under this promissory note. The warrants shall be issued and vest upon the financing of at least $2,000,000 and expire on the third anniversary of said financing. The warrant exercise price shall be set at the same price as for warrants granted to the investors with the most favorable terms as part of any $2,000,000 or more financing of the Company or $0.25, whichever is lower. The warrants shall have standard anti-dilution features to protect the holder from dilution due to down rounds of financing. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had not repaid the note.

 

On September 19, 2018, the Company issued a promissory note to an investor for $50,000 in aggregate principal amount of a 6% promissory note for an aggregate purchase price of $52,500 (representing a $2,500 original issue discount). Pursuant to the promissory note the entire unpaid principal balance on the promissory note together with all accrued and unpaid interest and loan origination fees, if any, at the choice of the investor, shall be due and payable in full from the funds received by the Company from a financing of at least $2,000,000, or at the option of the investor, to be included in the Company’s financing under the same terms as the new investors with the most favorable terms making a cash investment. If the Company does not complete a financing of at least $2,000,000 within 90 days of the execution of this promissory note, any unpaid amounts shall be due in full to the investor and shall accrue interest at 12% (instead of 6%) per annum from the date thereof (90 days after execution), if not paid in full. In addition, the investor will be granted 500,000 warrants under this promissory note. The warrants shall be issued and vest upon the financing of at least $2,000,000 and expire on the third anniversary of said financing. The warrant exercise price shall be set at the same price as for warrants granted to the investors with the most favorable terms as part of any $2,000,000 or more financing of the Company or $0.25, whichever is lower. The warrants shall have standard anti-dilution features to protect the holder from dilution due to down rounds of financing. As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had not repaid the note and therefore the accrued interest rate increased to 12%.

 

On February 15, 2019, the Company issued a promissory note to an investor for $50,000 in aggregate principal amount of a 6% promissory note for an aggregate purchase price of $52,500 (representing a $2,500 original issue discount). Pursuant to the promissory note the entire unpaid principal balance on the promissory note together with all accrued and unpaid interest and loan origination fees, if any, at the choice of the investor, shall be due and payable in full from the funds received by the Company from a financing of at least $2,000,000, or at the option of the investor, to be included in the Company’s financing under the same terms as the new investors with the most favorable terms making a cash investment. If the Company does not complete a financing of at least $2,000,000 within 90 days of the execution of this promissory note, any unpaid amounts shall be due in full to the investor and shall accrue interest at 12% (instead of 6%) per annum from the date thereof (90 days after execution), if not paid in full.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

 

OVERVIEW

 

We are a medical technology company focused on developing innovative medical devices that have the potential to improve healthcare. Our primary focus is the sales and marketing of our LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan non-invasive cervical cancer detection device. The underlying technology of LuViva primarily relates to the use of biophotonics for the non-invasive detection of cancers. LuViva is designed to identify cervical cancers and precancers painlessly, non-invasively and at the point of care by scanning the cervix with light, then analyzing the reflected and fluorescent light.

 

LuViva provides a less invasive and painless alternative to conventional tests for cervical cancer screening and detection. Additionally, LuViva improves patient well-being not only because it eliminates pain, but also because it is convenient to use and provides rapid results at the point of care. We focus on two primary applications for LuViva: first, as a cancer screening tool in the developing world, where infrastructure to support traditional cancer-screening methods is limited or non-existent, and second, as a triage following traditional screening in the developed world, where a high number of false positive results cause a high rate of unnecessary and ultimately costly follow-up tests.

 

Screening for cervical cancer represents one of the most significant demands on the practice of diagnostic medicine. As cervical cancer is linked to a sexually transmitted disease—the human papillomavirus (HPV)—every woman essentially becomes “at risk” for cervical cancer simply after becoming sexually active. In the developing world, there are approximately 2.0 billion women aged 15 and older who are potentially eligible for screening with LuViva. Guidelines for screening intervals vary across the world, but U.S. guidelines call for screening every three years. Traditionally, the Pap smear screening test, or Pap test, is the primary cervical cancer screening methodology in the developed world. However, in developing countries, cancer screening using Pap tests is expensive and requires infrastructure and skill not currently existing, and not likely to be developed in the near future, in these countries.

 

We believe LuViva is the answer to the developing world’s cervical cancer screening needs. Screening for cervical cancer in the developing world often requires working directly with foreign governments or non-governmental agencies (NGOs). By partnering with governments or NGOs, we can provide immediate access to cervical cancer detection to large segments of a nation’s population as part of national or regional governmental healthcare programs, eliminating the need to develop expensive and resource-intensive infrastructures.

 

 34 

 

 

 

In the developed world, we believe LuViva offers a more accurate and ultimately cost-effective triage medical device, to be used once a traditional Pap test or HPV test indicates the possibility of cervical cancer. Due to the high number of false positive results from Pap tests, traditional follow-on tests entail increased medical treatment costs. We believe these costs can be minimized by utilizing LuViva as a triage to determine whether follow-on tests are warranted.

 

We believe our non-invasive cervical cancer detection technology can be applied to the early detection of other cancers as well. In 2013, we announced a license agreement with Konica Minolta, Inc. allowing us to manufacture and develop a non-invasive esophageal cancer detection product from Konica Minolta based on our biophotonic technology platform. Early market analyses of our biophotonic technology indicated that skin cancer detection was also promising, but currently we are focused primarily on the large-scale commercialization of LuViva.

 

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

A 1:800 reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was implemented on March 29, 2019. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 800 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into 1 share of common stock. All fractional shares created by the reverse stock split were rounded to the nearest whole share. The number of authorized shares of common stock did not change. The reverse stock split decreased the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 2,652,309,322 shares to 3,319,486 shares as of that date with rounding. See Note 4, Stockholders’ Deficit. Unless otherwise specified, all per share amounts are reported on a post-stock split basis, as of March 31, 2019.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Our material accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to investors understanding of our financial results and condition, are discussed below. Because we are still early in our enterprise development, the number of these policies requiring explanation is limited. As we begin to generate increased revenue from different sources, we expect that the number of applicable policies and complexity of the judgments required will increase.

 

Revenue Recognition: ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers establishes a single and comprehensive framework which sets out how much revenue is to be recognized, and when. The core principle is that a vendor should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the vendor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue will now be recognized by a vendor when control over the goods or services is transferred to the customer. In contrast, Revenue based revenue recognition around an analysis of the transfer of risks and rewards; this now forms one of a number of criteria that are assessed in determining whether control has been transferred. The application of the core principle in ASC 606 is carried out in five steps: Step 1 – Identify the contract with a customer: a contract is defined as an agreement (including oral and implied), between two or more parties, that creates enforceable rights and obligations and sets out the criteria for each of those rights and obligations. The contract needs to have commercial substance and it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. Step 2 – Identify the performance obligations in the contract: a performance obligation in a contract is a promise (including implicit) to transfer a good or service to the customer. Each performance obligation should be capable of being distinct and is separately identifiable in the contract. Step 3 – Determine the transaction price: transaction price is the amount of consideration that the entity can be entitled to, in exchange for transferring the promised goods and services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: for a contract that has more than one performance obligation, the entity will allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation separately, in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. The acceptable methods of allocating the transaction price include adjusted market assessment approach, expected cost plus a margin approach, and, the residual approach in limited circumstances. Discounts given should be allocated proportionately to all performance obligations unless certain criteria are met and reallocation of changes in standalone selling prices after inception is not permitted. Step 5 – Recognize revenue as and when the entity satisfies a performance obligation: the entity should recognize revenue at a point in time, except if it meets any of the three criteria, which will require recognition of revenue over time: the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset controlled by the customer, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the entity’s performance as the entity performs, and the entity does not create an asset that has an alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to be paid for performance to date.

Valuation of Deferred Taxes: We account for income taxes in accordance with the liability method. Under the liability method, we recognize deferred assets and liabilities based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We establish a valuation allowance to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be utilized against future taxable income.

Valuation of Equity Instruments Granted to Employee, Service Providers and Investors: On the date of issuance, the instruments are recorded at their fair value as determined using either the Black-Scholes valuation model or Monte Carlo Simulation model.

Beneficial Conversion Features of Convertible Securities: Conversion options that are not bifurcated as a derivative pursuant to ASC 815 and not accounted for as a separate equity component under the cash conversion guidance are evaluated to determine whether they are beneficial to the investor at inception (a beneficial conversion feature) or may become beneficial in the future due to potential adjustments. The beneficial conversion feature guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible stock as well as convertible debt which are outside the scope of ASC 815. A beneficial conversion feature is defined as a nondetachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The beneficial conversion feature guidance requires recognition of the conversion option’s in-the-money portion, the intrinsic value of the option, in equity, with an offsetting reduction to the carrying amount of the instrument. The resulting discount is amortized as a dividend over either the life of the instrument, if a stated maturity date exists, or to the earliest conversion date, if there is no stated maturity date. If the earliest conversion date is immediately upon issuance, the dividend must be recognized at inception. When there is a subsequent change to the conversion ratio based on a future occurrence, the new conversion price may trigger the recognition of an additional beneficial conversion feature on occurrence.

 

Allowance for Accounts Receivable: We estimate losses from the inability of our distributors to make required payments and periodically review the payment history of each of our distributors, as well as their financial condition, and revise our reserves as a result.

Inventory Valuation: All inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined substantially on a “first-in, first-out” basis. Selling, general, and administrative expenses are not inventoried, but are charged to expense when purchased.

Costs of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019, were approximately, $2,000 or 67% lower when compared to the same period in 2018, due to lower part costs.

As of March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the notes had been converted and no balance remained outstanding. In addition, at December 31, 2018, we recorded a $38,379 beneficial conversion feature which was fully amortized at year end.

On June 22, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with GHS Investments, LLC, an existing investor, providing for the purchase by GHS of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $68,000 (with $6,000 representing a 10% original issue discount and $2,000 for transaction costs). The note matures on June 22, 2019. In addition to the 10% original issue discount, the note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per year. We may prepay the note, in whole or in part, for 110% of outstanding principal and interest until 30 days from issuance, for 120% of outstanding principal and interest at any time from 31 to 60 days from issuance and for 140% of outstanding principal and interest at any time from 61 days to 180 days from issuance. The note may not be prepaid after 180 days. After nine months from the date of issuance, the note will become convertible, at any time thereafter, in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price equal to 30% of the lowest trading price during the 25 trading days prior to conversion (if note cannot be converted due to issues with DTC then rate increases to 40%). The note includes customary event of default provisions and a default interest rate of the lesser of 20% per year or the maximum amount permitted by law. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the note may require us to redeem the note (or convert it into shares of common stock) at 150% of the outstanding principal balance. As of March 31, 2019, we have a net debt of $103,285 (which includes $35,285 for a default penalty), including unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,592, unamortized discount of $1,364 and accrued interest of $13,356.

On July 3, 2018, we issued the note to Auctus. The note matures on April 3, 2019 and accrues interest at a rate of 12% per year. We could have prepaid the note, in whole or in part, for 115% of outstanding principal and interest until 30 days from issuance, for 125% of outstanding principal and interest at any time from 31 to 60 days from issuance, and for 130% of outstanding principal and interest at any time from 61 days from issuance to 180 days from issuance. After nine months from the date of issuance, Auctus may convert the note, at any time, in whole or in part, into shares of the our common stock, at a conversion price equal to the lower of the price offered in the our next public offering or a 40% discount to the average of the two lowest trading prices of the common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the conversion, subject to certain customary adjustments and price-protection provisions contained in the note. The note includes customary events of default provisions and a default interest rate of 24% per year. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Auctus may require us to redeem the note (or convert it into shares of common stock) at 150% of the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest.

See “—Recent Developments” for information regarding capital-raising activities since December 31, 2018.

 

We will be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, additional collaborative relationships or other arrangements, as soon as possible. We cannot be certain that our existing and available capital resources will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements through 2019. We are evaluating various options to further reduce our cash requirements to operate at a reduced rate, as well as options to raise additional funds, including loans.

 

Generally, substantial capital will be required to develop our products, including completing product testing and clinical trials, obtaining all required U.S. and foreign regulatory approvals and clearances, and commencing and scaling up manufacturing and marketing our products. Any failure to obtain capital would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Based on discussions with our distributors, we expect to generate purchase orders for approximately $2.0 million in LuViva devices and disposables in 2019 and expect those purchase orders to result in actual sales of $1.5 million in 2019, representing what we view as current demand for our products. We cannot be assured that we will generate all or any of these additional purchase orders, or that existing orders will not be canceled by the distributors or that parts to build product will be available to meet demand, such that existing orders will result in actual sales. Because we have a short history of sales of our products, we cannot confidently predict future sales of our products beyond this time frame and cannot be assured of any particular amount of sales. Accordingly, we have not identified any particular trends with regard to sales of our products.

Our financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a going concern. The above factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as more fully discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained herein and in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

  

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2018. The controls and system currently used by the Company to calculate and record inventory is not operating effectively. Additionally, the Company lacks the resources to properly research and account for complex transactions. The combination of these controls deficiencies has resulted in a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as of March 31, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance that (1) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

The effectiveness of any system of controls and procedures is subject to certain limitations, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that our controls and procedures will detect all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be attained.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 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, the Company may be involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

See Note 6 to the financial statements.
