REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company”, “KORU Medical” or “we”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary portable and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management. The Company operates as one segment.

FISCAL YEAR END

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2019, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with instructions to SEC regulation S-X for interim financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flow for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, and 2018.

The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company holds cash in excess of $250,000 at its depository, which exceeds the FDIC insurance limits and is, therefore, uninsured.

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT

The certificate of deposit was recorded at cost plus accrued interest. The certificate of deposit earned interest at a rate of 1.73% and matured in May 2019, at which time the funds were moved into a money market account earning interest at 2.25%. Effective September 24, 2019, the money market account interest rate dropped to 1.85%.

INVENTORY

Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates average cost, or market value including allocable overhead. Work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of standard cost or market value and include direct labor and allocable overhead.

PATENTS

Costs incurred in obtaining patents have been capitalized and are being amortized over the legal life of the patents.

- 6 -

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.

The Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure or adjustment. Generally, tax years starting with 2016 are subject to examination by income tax authorities.

PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains a stock option plan under which it grants stock options to certain executives, key employees and consultants. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All options are charged against income at their fair value. The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to, asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory, and accruals.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2018 on a full retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to our accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows or related disclosures. As such, prior period financial statements were not recast.

The Company’s revenues result from the sale of assembled products. We recognize revenues when shipment occurs and at which point the customer obtains control and ownership of the goods. Shipping costs generally are billed to customers and are included in sales.

The Company generally does not accept return of goods shipped unless it is a Company error. The only credits provided to customers are for defective merchandise. The Company warrants the syringe driver from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and the warranty does not include a performance obligation. The costs under the warranty are expensed as incurred.

Provisions for distributor pricing and annual customer volume rebates are variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related sales are recorded or when it’s probable the annual growth target will be achieved. Rebates are provided to distributors for the difference in selling price to distributor and pricing specified to select customers.

LEASES

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by the Company for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP, while our accounting for capital leases remains substantially unchanged. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard became effective for us January 1, 2019. The standard had a material impact on our balance sheets, but did not have a material impact on our income statements. See NOTE 7 LEASES.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this ASU is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever the circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As of September 30, 2019, the Company does not believe that any of its assets are impaired.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.

NOTE 2 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

LEASED AIRCRAFT

From 1992 to 2018, we leased an aircraft from AMI Aviation, Inc., of which our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Sealfon, was a majority shareholder. The lease payments were zero and $1,292 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and zero and $9,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively. Upon the termination of Mr. Sealfon as President and Chief Executive Officer on July 25, 2018, the Company ceased leasing this aircraft.

BUILDING LEASE

Mr. Pastreich, a former director, is a principal in the entity that owns the building leased by us for our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility at 24 Carpenter Road, Chester, New York 10918. On February 28, 2019, we completed year twenty of a twenty year lease with monthly lease payments of $11,042. On November 14, 2017, we executed a lease extension, which calls for six month extensions beginning March 1, 2019 with the option to renew six times at a monthly lease amount of $12,088. The Company exercised three additional renewal options commencing September 1, 2019 through February 28, 2021.

The lease payments were $36,264 and $33,126 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $106,700 and $99,378 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company also paid property taxes in the amount of $13,749 and $12,431 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $39,165 and $37,863 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

NOTE 4 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in several lawsuits with our principal competitor, EMED Technologies Corporation (“EMED”). EMED has alleged that our needle sets infringe various patents controlled by EMED. Certain of these lawsuits also allege antitrust violations, unfair business practices, and various other business tort claims. We are vigorously defending against all of the lawsuits brought by EMED. Although no assurances can be given, we believe we have meritorious defenses to all of EMED’s claims.

- 9 -

The initial case involving EMED was filed by us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California on September 20, 2013 (the “California case”), in response to a letter from EMED claiming patent infringement by us, and seeking a declaratory judgment establishing the invalidity of the patent referenced in the letter – EMED’s US patent 8,500,703 – “‘703.” EMED answered the complaint and asserted patent infringement of the ‘703 patent and several counterclaims relating generally to claims of unfair business practices against us. We responded by adding several claims against EMED, generally relating to claims of unfair business practices on EMED’s part. Both parties have requested injunctive relief and monetary damages in unspecified amounts. On June 16, 2015, the California court entered a preliminary injunction against KORU Medical making certain statements regarding what products were cleared by the FDA for use, or could be safely used, with KORU Medical’s Freedom60 pump, without voiding the product warranty. On September 11, 2015, we requested an ex parte reexamination of the ‘703 patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The ex parte reexamination resulted in a Final Office Action dated July 19, 2017 rejecting all of EMED’s claims in the patent. On January 25, 2018, EMED filed an Appeal Brief with a Petition for Revival, which was accepted. On April 9, 2018, the USPTO denied EMED’s request for reconsideration of the order rejecting all claims in the ‘703 patent. On June 26, 2019, the Examiner responded to EMED’s appeal brief and maintained all of the final rejections. Both the California case and EMED’s appeal of the USPTO rejections are pending.

The second court case was filed by EMED in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas on June 25, 2015, claiming patent infringement on another of its patents (US 8,961,476 – “‘476”), by our needle sets, and seeking unspecified monetary damages (“ED Texas ‘476 matter”). This ‘476 patent is related to the now rejected EMED ‘703 patent.

On September 17, 2015, we requested an inter partes review (“IPR”) of the ‘476 patent, and in response to our request, the Court entered an order staying the ED Texas ‘476 matter until after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO made a decision regarding the validity of the patent. On January 12, 2017, the PTAB issued its Final Written Decision in our favor, invalidating all but one (“dependent Claim 9”) of the claims in the ‘476 patent. EMED appealed the PTAB’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which affirmed the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in our favor on April 3, 2018. On April 18, 2018, EMED filed a petition for en banc rehearing, which was denied. On August 16, 2018, EMED petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari to review the Federal Circuit’s upholding the PTAB’s Final Written Decision. On October 29, 2018 the United States Supreme Court denied EMED’s Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, thus finally affirming the PTAB’s invalidation of ‘476, save for one dependent claim.

Following the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in the IPR regarding the ‘476 patent, EMED filed a new patent application claiming priority back to the application that issued as ‘703, which is the patent at issue in the California case. Submitted for accelerated examination, this new application issued as US 9,808,576 – “‘576” on November 7, 2017. On this same date, EMED filed a new case (the “third case”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas claiming patent infringement of ‘576, also directed to our needle sets, and seeking unspecified damages and a preliminary injunction against marketing and sales of our needle sets. We filed a Motion to Dismiss or Transfer Venue to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), which resulted in the transfer of the third case to SDNY (“SDNY ‘576 matter”) on May 30, 2018.

On April 23, 2018, EMED filed a new civil case (the “fourth case”) against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas asserting antitrust, defamation and unfair business practice claims, and seeking unspecified damages, similar to those previously presented in the California case, described above. The fourth case also names Andrew Sealfon, then President and CEO of KORU Medical, individually as a defendant. As the result of a hearing on November 14, 2018, on December 7, 2018, the Court entered an order transferring the fourth case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (the “California Court”). The California Court set an initial schedule for a preliminary motion phase and on August 30, 2019 EMED filed a second amended complaint. On September 30, 2019, KORU Medical and Sealfon filed a motion to dismiss that complaint, and Sealfon filed a separate motion to dismiss the case as to him for lack of jurisdiction. Ultimately, we expect this case to be coordinated or consolidated with the California case, or dismissed, as the California Court sees fit.

At the same hearing on November 14, 2018, the Texas Court granted EMED leave to amend its infringement contentions, following the IPR decision invalidating all but one claim of the ‘476 patent, in order to assert infringement of that sole remaining claim, namely dependent Claim 9. The Texas Court’s order allowing EMED’s amendment of its infringement contentions against us was entered on December 7, 2018.

- 10 -

The ED Texas ‘476 matter proceeded under EMED’s amended infringement contention to incorporate the surviving dependent Claim 9, which incorporates Claims 1 and 8 of the ‘476 patent, meaning that, to prove infringement on the part of us, EMED must prove more elements of infringement than it originally charged against us. In April 2019, EMED served its damages expert’s report opining that EMED’s past infringement damages amount to $1.5 million, and in May KORU Medical served its damages expert’s rebuttal report opining that EMED’s expert miscalculated damages which if properly calculated would amount to less than $100,000. The Texas Court had set a trial date of August 19, 2019, for the trial of the ED Texas ‘476 matter. On June 24, 2019, the Texas Court Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation decision finding no infringement, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by KORU Medical’s accused products. EMED filed its objections on June 26, 2019. On June 28, 2019 the United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas issued a Final Judgment in favor of KORU Medical and adopted the decision of the Magistrate Judge that was issued on June 24, 2019, overruled EMED’s objections, awarded court costs to KORU Medical, and dismissed the case. A final judgment has been entered. KORU Medical has submitted its Bill of Costs for approximately $16,000 and moved to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of approximately $2.3 million in defense of EMED’s assertion of the ‘476 Patent. EMED has objected to our Bill of Costs, opposed the motion for fees, and filed a notice of appeal of the non-infringement judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On September 16, 2019, EMED filed its opening appeal brief. KORU Medical plans to oppose EMED’s appeal. The ED Texas court has stayed proceedings in the district court until the appeal process is completed. KORU Medical’s fee motion remains pending lifting of the stay.

The SDNY ‘576 matter proceeded in the New York court through claim construction on the ‘576 Patent, whereupon KORU Medical sought permission from the New York court to file a motion for summary judgement, to which EMED objected. The New York court granted KORU Medical’s request, and on July 10, 2019, KORU Medical filed its motion for summary judgement. EMED opposed that motion, and on August 30, 2019, the New York court granted summary judgement, and dismissed the lawsuit. A final judgement has been entered. KORU Medical has submitted a Bill of Costs for approximately $1,500, to which EMED has objected, and has moved the New York court to declare the case exceptional and for recovery of its attorney fees and expenses of at least $1.16 million. EMED has opposed that motion, which is now fully briefed and has been referred to a United States District Court Magistrate Judge to prepare a report and recommendation. EMED also has appealed the New York court’s judgment of non-infringement to the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit, which matter is pending. EMED’s opening appeal brief is currently due November 8, 2019.

As is required by the respective Courts in both the SDNY ‘576 matter and the ED Texas ‘476 matter, the parties are engaging in settlement discussions and have conducted a court-sponsored mediation session, which did not result in settlement.

Although we believe KORU Medical has meritorious claims and defenses in all of the above-described actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty. If any of these actions against us are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

OVERVIEW

The third quarter of 2019 ended with record net sales results of $6.6 million, an increase of 45.5% compared with the same period last year. The increase was driven by organic growth mostly from increased volume and to a lesser extent from price increases, two unusually large orders from a domestic distributor and a new customer in Europe, as well as clinical trials. The large domestic distributor orders followed the acquisition of Medical Specialties Distributors, LLC by McKesson Medical-Surgical, Inc. as they move forward with their integration. We cannot predict whether such large distributor orders or volume generally will continue in the future. We ended the third quarter with $0.8 million in open orders. Excluding the two large orders, clinical trials and adjusting for the open orders for the quarter, net sales grew in excess of 25% year over year. We believe the organic volume growth continues to be the result of growth in diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency diseases (“PIDD”) and expansion into the neurology market with expanded Hizentra® indication for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”). Our gross margin percentage improved nearly 2.6 percentage points versus the same period last year mostly due to price increases. Net income was $0.7 million for period ended September 30, 2019, compared with $0.4 million for the previous year, driven by the increase in net sales, partially offset by increased legal fees for litigation activity and higher salary and related expenses resulting from the executive management changes and recently announced new hires. Our cash balance at September 30, 2019, was $5.1 million, which included $0.5 million for the exercise of outstanding warrants.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018

Net Sales

The following table summarizes our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Year					% of Sales
	2019		2018		$			%		2019	2018
Sales
Domestic	$	5,856,203	$	3,699,410	$	2,156,793		58.3%		88.5%	81.4%
International		761,194		847,777		(86,583	)	(10.2%	)	11.5%	18.6%
Total	$	6,617,397	$	4,547,187	$	2,070,210		45.5%

Total net sales increased $2.1 million or 45.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared with the same period last year. This growth was driven by organic growth mostly from increased volume and to a lesser extent from price increases, two unusually large orders, one from a domestic distributor and one from a new customer in Europe, as well as clinical trials. We cannot predict whether such large orders will continue in the future. We ended the quarter with open orders totaling $0.8 million.

- 16 -

Excluding the two large orders, clinical trials in both periods, and adjusting for the open orders, net sales increased in excess of 25% year over year. We believe organic volume growth continues to be due to growth in the diagnosis of PIDD and expansion into the neurology market with the expanded Hizentra® indication for CIDP. Internationally, net sales were down mostly due to open orders totaling $0.1 million at the end of the period.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Year
	2019		2018		$		%
Gross Profit	$	4,382,908	$	2,891,568	$	1,491,340	51.6%
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales		66.2%		63.6%

Gross profit increased $1.5 million or 51.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. This increase in the quarter was mostly driven by the increase in net sales. Gross profit improved 2.6 percentage points compared with the same period last year, mostly due to price increases.

Selling, general and administrative, Litigation and Research and development

Our selling, general and administrative expenses, litigation, and research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Year
	2019		2018		$		%
Selling, general and administrative	$	2,441,381		1,917,127	$	524,254	27.3%
Litigation		864,009		286,487		577,522	201.6%

	$	3,475,650		2,330,537	$	1,145,113	49.1%
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales		52.5%		51.3%

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.5 million, or 27.4%, over the same period last year. Driving the increase was higher salary and related benefits including $0.3 million of stock option expense, due to the addition of the Executive Chairman of the Board, our new President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive changes, including the additions of Vice Presidents of Medical Affairs, Growth and Innovation, and Sales and Marketing, adding $0.6 million year over year. Partially offsetting these increases was attrition in regulatory totaling $0.1 million.

Litigation fees continue to be higher than the previous year period, up $0.6 million as we continue to defend ourselves against our competitor through several motions and court proceedings, as well as in the patent office. We have had some favorable rulings in the courts and have filed motions for court costs and attorney fees. Refer to Note 4 Legal Proceedings in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Research and development expenses increased $43,337, or 34.1%, over last year due to increased headcount and expanded product development initiatives compared to last year.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 5.7% to $82,774 in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared with $78,345 in the three months ended September 30, 2018. We continued to invest in capital assets, mostly related to production equipment, computer equipment and leasehold improvements, and in patent applications and their maintenance.

Net Income

- 17 -

Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.7 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period last year. The increase is mostly driven by the increase in net sales, partially offset by selling general and administrative fees, as well as litigation fees as described above.

Total	$	16,940,487	$	13,082,737	$	3,857,750	29.5%

Total net sales increased $3.9 million or 29.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 driven by growth in all product categories (pumps, needles, and tubing) in the Freedom Infusion System. The nine month period includes clinical trials at several customers, and two unusually large orders from a domestic distributor and a new customer in Europe. We ended the third quarter with $0.8 million in open orders. Excluding both large orders, clinical trials and adding in the open orders, the net sales increase would have been 24%, demonstrating strength in continued organic growth driven by increased volume and to a lesser extent price increases. We believe the organic volume growth continues to be driven by growth in the diagnosis of PIDD and expansion into the neurology market with expanded Hizentra® indication for CIDP.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:


	Nine months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Year
	2019		2018		$		%
Gross Profit	$	10,906,526	$	8,096,976	$	2,809,550	34.7%
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales		64.4%		61.9%

Gross profit increased $2.8 million or 34.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year. Gross margin improved 2.5 percentage points during the period and was driven mostly by price increases and to a lesser extent some production efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative, Litigation and Research and development

Our selling, general and administrative expenses, litigation and research and development costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:


	Nine months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Year
	2019		2018		$		%
Selling, general and administrative	$	6,976,684	$	5,513,727	$	1,462,957	26.5%
Litigation		2,481,471		592,787		1,888,684	318.6%
Research and development		450,454		160,735		289,719	180.3%
	$	9,908,609	$	6,267,249	$	3,641,360	58.1%
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales		58.5%		47.9%

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 26.5%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period last year. The increase is mostly driven by higher salary and related benefits totaling $1.3 million, due to the addition of the Executive Chairman of the Board, our new President and Chief Executive Officer, including a performance bonus payment to our former interim Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $0.3 million, as well as the addition of Vice Presidents for

Medical Affairs, Growth and Innovation and Sales and Marketing and other executed changes. Included in the $1.3 million of salary and related benefits is $0.5 million in stock option expense. Higher consulting fees of $0.2 million related to strategic initiatives, and higher investor relation expenses and director fees also contributed $0.2 million to the increase. Partially offsetting these increases was lower recruiting fees of $0.2 million.

Litigation expenses continued to increase, up $1.9 million compared to the same period last year as we continue to defend ourselves against our competitor through several motions and court proceedings, as well as in the patent office. We have had several favorable rulings in the courts and have filed motions for court costs and attorney fees. Refer to Note 4 Legal Proceedings in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Research and development expense increased by $0.3 million, or 180.3%, primarily due to increased headcount and expanded product development initiatives compared to last year.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 10.4% to $252,594 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with $228,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We continued to invest in capital assets, mostly related to production equipment, computer equipment and leasehold improvements, and in patent applications and their maintenance.

Net Income


	Nine months Ended September 30,				Change from Prior Year
	2019		2018		$			%
Net Income	$	644,606	$	1,265,703	$	(621,097	)	(49.1%)
Stated as a Percentage of Net Sales		3.8%		9.7%

Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.6 million compared to a net income of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by increased selling, general and administrative expenses and litigation fees, as described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal source of liquidity is our cash of $5.1 million as of September 30, 2019. Additionally, we have a $1.5 million line of credit with no outstanding amounts against it. Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products to customers. Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory and related costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and professional fees.

We believe that as of September 30, 2019, cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations, including further research and development and capital expenditures, for the next 12 months. We believe KORU Medical’s home infusion products continue to find a solid following in the subcutaneous immunoglobulin (“SCIg”) market and into new markets like neurology where Hizentra® received an expanded indication for CIDP.

We continue to be in litigation with a competitor, EMED Technologies Corp. (“EMED”) and have incurred a significant amount of legal fees in connection with that process. Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in the actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty. If any of these actions against the Company are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows:


	Nine months Ended September 30, 2019			Nine months Ended September 30, 2018
Net cash (used in)/provided by operating activities	$	(502,014	)	$	1,352,899
Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities	$	1,389,281		$	(1,727,598	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	502,958		$	49,495

- 19 -

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mostly attributable to increased accounts receivable of $2.1 million as one of our major customer’s payment terms changed on January 1, 2019 from net 30 to net 60 days, increased inventory of $0.6 million as we build stock to keep pace with sales growth, as well as severance payments and payments for insurance renewals. Partially offsetting these were our non-cash charges for stock based compensation of $0.9 million and depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible asset of $0.3 million, as well as increases in accounts payable of $0.4 million primarily for major supplier invoices and accrued expenses of $0.5 million primarily due to legal fees and bonus accruals.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily the result of net income of $1.3 million, non-cash charges of $0.2 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets and stock based compensation of $0.2 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.4 million and an increase in accounts payable of $0.1 million. Partially offsetting these were increases in inventory and payments for insurance renewals and severance, bonus and commission payments accrued for at December 31, 2017.

Investing Activities

Our net cash provided by investing activities of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was mostly the result of the maturation of a certificate of deposit for $1.5 million and the sale of the house the Company owned for $0.2 million, offset by capital expenditures of $0.2 million and patent applications and maintenance of existing applications of $0.2 million. Our net cash used for investing activities of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was mostly the result of the purchase of a certificate of deposit.

Financing Activities

The $0.5 million provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is a result of warrants and options exercised during the period. Net cash provided by financing activities was $49,495 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 mostly resulted from the exercise of options.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management of the Company believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by disclosing non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparison of the Company’s ongoing results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The table below provides a disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely analogous measure determined in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results.

We disclose and discuss Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, reorganization charges, litigation and stock option expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. We also believe the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. Adjusted EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. Because management uses Adjusted EBITDA for such purposes, the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a significant criterion for determining the amount of annual cash incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and employees. We have historically found that Adjusted EBITDA is superior to other metrics for our company-wide cash incentive program, as it is more easily explained and understood by our typical employee.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP measures is below:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income	September 30,						September 30,
to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA:	2019			2018			2019			2018

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA	$	2,086,044		$	1,105,069		$	4,504,546		$	2,847,518

Reorganization Charges. We have excluded the effect of Reorganization Charges in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We incurred significant expenses in connection with the termination and replacement of C-suite executives and senior management which we would not otherwise incur in periods presented as part of our continuing operations. Reorganization charges include costs related to the replacement of C-suite executives including a transition bonus and recruiting fees, prior to March 31, 2019.

- 21 -

Litigation. We have excluded litigation expenses in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. We continue to evaluate our business performance excluding litigation fees, which we expect to continue in future periods.

Stock Option Expense. We have excluded the effect of stock option expenses in calculating our non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure. Although stock option compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock option compensation expenses. We record non-cash compensation expense related to grants of options and depending upon the size, timing and the terms of the grants, the non-cash compensation expense may vary significantly but will recur in future periods.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. The following are material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Our common stock is now listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq Capital Market) and is no longer subject to penny stock regulations.

If we fail to continue to meet the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), our common stock may be delisted, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq has requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed on Nasdaq. In particular, Nasdaq rules require us to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of our common stock. If the closing bid price of our common stock were to fall below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days or we do not meet other listing requirements, we would fail to be in compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the minimum bid price requirement, or any other requirement in the future. If we fail to meet the minimum bid price requirement, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may initiate the delisting process. In addition, we may be unable to meet other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, including maintaining minimum levels of stockholders’ equity or market values of our common stock in which case, our common stock could be delisted. If our common stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decrease.

PART II – ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
