NanoVibronix, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

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

 

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

 

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company’s ability to continue to operate is dependent mainly on its ability to successfully market and sell its products and the receipt of additional financing until profitability is achieved. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company has incurred losses as well as negative cash outflows from operating activities and expects to occur losses and negative cash outflows from operating activities through fiscal year 2022. The Company’s management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to execute its business plan over the next twelve months. If the Company is unable to successfully commercialize its products over the next twelve months, it may need to raise additional capital at a later time. There are no assurances that the Company would be able to raise additional capital, if required, on terms favorable to it. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing its products and raising capital, it will need to reduce activities, curtail, or cease operations.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

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

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Unaudited interim financial information

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. These consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022

 

5

 

 

The balance sheet for December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting.

 

Use of estimates

 

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

 

Foreign currency translation

 

Non-U.S. dollar denominated transactions and balances have been re-measured to U.S. dollars. All gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as other comprehensive income, as appropriate. The cumulative translation gains as of the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $6 and $5, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common stock

 

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

 

On March 3, 2021, the Company filed a proxy statement in connection with a special meeting of stockholders to was to be held on March 31, 2021, but postponed until May 6, 2021 to (i) ratify the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 24,109,635 and the issuance of such 4,109,635 shares of common stock, and (ii) further increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock. On May 6, 2021, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the ratification of the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 24,109,635 and the issuance of such 4,109,635 shares of common stock to be effective as of December 4, 2020, but the stockholders did not approve a further increase in the number of its authorized shares of common stock.

 

On August 17, 2021, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized for issuance from 24,109,635 shares to 40,000,000 shares. As a result of the vote to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance, the warrants that were previously accounted for as derivative liabilities were marked to market through the date of approval and then reclassified to additional paid in capital (equity), as the Company had sufficient authorized shares to settle the exercise of the warrants.

 

Stock-based compensation and Options

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 120,000 and 180,000 options were granted, respectively. The options were granted to employees and board members and were recorded at a fair value and vested over three years. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, stock-based compensation expense of $86 and $109 was recorded for options that vested, respectively.

 

The fair value for options granted in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021 is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model with the following underlying assumptions:

 

   2022   2021 
Price at valuation  $0.78   $1.04 
Exercise price  $0.78   $1.04 
Risk free interest   2.32%   0.49%
Expected term (in years)   5    5 
Volatility   127.9%   81.5%

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

Total  $86   $109 

 

As of March 31, 2022, the total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to that date was $554, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.05 years.

 

Warrant exercises and modification

 

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

 

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

 

The New Warrants were accounted for in warrant modification expense, which was measured at the amount equal to the incremental value reflecting the change in the fair value of the warrants before and after the Warrant Amendment. Accordingly, warrant modification expense in the amount of $0 and $1,627 was recorded for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with a corresponding increase in additional paid in capital.

 

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

 

Risk free interest   1.44%
Dividend yield   0%
Volatility   138.4%
Contractual term (in years)   0.792.67

NOTE 5 – LOSS PER SHARE APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDER

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. All outstanding stock options and warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

 

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

 

    March 31, 2022     March 31, 2021  
Series D Preferred Stock     -       153,000  
Series E Preferred Stock     -       875,000  
Stock Options - employee and non-employee     2,659,999       1,928,544

Total     4,969,346       8,404,138  

 

The diluted loss per share equals basic loss per share in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive.

 

NOTE 6 – GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMER DATA

 

Summary information about geographic areas:

 

The Company manages its business on the basis of one reportable segment and derives revenues from selling its products directly to patients as well as through distributor agreements. The following is a summary of revenues within geographic areas:

 

  

Three Months Ended

March 31,

 
   2022   2021 
United States  $231   $92 
Europe   7    1 
New Zealand   2    9 
Asia   9    1 
Other   23    - 
Total  $272   $103 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, one customer comprised approximately 39% of total revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, one customer comprised approximately 58% of total revenues.

 

NOTE 7 – OTHER ASSETS

 

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

 

Price at valuation  $0.17 
Exercise price  $0.19 
Risk free interest   1.44%
Expected term (in years)   8 
Volatility   138.4%

 

The Company considers this to be level 3 inputs and is valued at each reporting period. The fair value of these warrants had no movements during the quarter, leaving a balance of $19 as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

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

 

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

 

There were no transfers between Level 3 during the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

The following table presents changes in Level 3 asset and liability measured at fair value for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

 

   Asset 
Balance – December 31, 2020  $25 
Fair value adjustments – Sanuwave warrants   (2)
Balance – March 31, 2021  $23 
      
Balance – December 31, 2021   19 
Fair value adjustments – Sanuwave warrants   (2)
Balance – March 31, 2022  $17 

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

 

                 
   Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2022

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Other Risks

 

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

 

In addition, U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common shares.

 

Pending litigation

 

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

 

On March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award, which, although found that Protrade’s claims failed as a matter of law or were unsupported by the evidence, nevertheless awarded Protrade $1,500,250, which consists of $1,432,000 for “lost profits” and $68,250 as reimbursement of arbitration costs, on the grounds that the Company allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certain patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device. The arbitrator based her decision on the basis of testimony of Protrade’s president who asserted that a user would use in excess of 33 patches per each device. The Company believes that the number of patches per device alleged by Protrade is grossly inflated. Accordingly, on April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application for the correction of the award. If the application is denied, the Company will continue vehemently opposing the award in all appropriate fora.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in both (i) “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as amended. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021.

 

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

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

 

Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our revenues were approximately $272,000 and $103,000 respectively, an increase of approximately 164%, or $169,000 between the periods. The increase in revenues is due to increased orders from our largest customer (see Note 6), as well as the addition of selling to veteran administration facilities, limited to available finished goods. Our revenues may fluctuate as we add new consumers or when existing distributors or consumers make large purchases of our products during one period and no purchases during another period. Therefore, any growth or decrease in revenues by quarter may not be linear or consistent.

 

12

 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the percentage of revenues attributable to our products was: PainShield - 99% and UroShield - 1%. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the percentage of revenues attributable to our products was: PainShield -100% and UroShield - 0%. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the portion of our revenues that was derived from distributors was 87% and 94%, respectively.

 

Gross Profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, gross profit was approximately $106,000 and $77,000, respectively, an increase of approximately 38% or $29,000, mainly due to increased sales to veteran affairs (VA) facilities and sales of products to distributors at higher margins.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 39% and 75% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. While the total amount of gross profit increased, the gross profit as percentage of revenues decreased due to increased costs of manufacturing, patches that were expired and written off, and replacement of old components.

 

Research and Development Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, research and development expenses were approximately $66,000 and $64,000, respectively between the periods. The increase was mainly due to increase in payments to subcontractors and consultants for continuous research, offset by the decreased salaries of employees involved in research and development activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Research and development expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 24% and 62% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This decrease was due to the increase in revenues.

 

Our research and development expenses consist mainly of payroll expenses to employees involved in research and development activities, stock-based compensation expenses, expenses related to subcontracting, patents application and registration, clinical trial and facilities expenses associated with and allocated to research and development activities.

 

Selling and Marketing Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, selling and marketing expenses were approximately $210,000 and $311,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately 32%, or $101,000, between the periods. The decrease was primarily due to decreased salaries of sales and marketing employees, re-allocating a portion of sales and marketing employee’s salary to general and administrative expense due to change in roles and responsibilities, and decrease in options expense during the first quarter of 2022.

 

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 77% and 302% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in our percentage was due to the increase in revenues and the reasons described above.

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist mainly of payroll expenses to direct sales and marketing employees, stock-based compensation expenses, travel expenses, conventions, advertising and marketing expenses, rent and facilities expenses associated with and allocated to selling and marketing activities.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, general and administrative expenses were approximately $942,000 and $1,016,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately 7%, or $74,000, between the periods. The decrease was primarily due to legal fees related to a lawsuit with a former officer and director and efforts to ratify our prior over-issuances of common stock in 2021 that were not incurred in 2022.

 

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 346% and 986% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

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

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there was a change in fair value of derivative liabilities resulting in losses of approximately $0 and $1,948,000, respectively. The loss in 2021 was derived from the Company’s total potentially dilutive shares exceed the Company’s authorized share limit that was ultimately resolved in the third quarter of 2021.

 

Warrant modification expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, warrant modification expense was approximately $0 and $1,627,000, respectively. The warrant modification expense in 2021 was related to warrants held by a certain investor that were repriced. The investor was also granted new warrants to replace the repriced warrants after they were exercised.

 

Tax expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, tax expenses were $7,000 and $21,000. The tax expense is computed by multiplying income before taxes at our Israeli subsidiary by the appropriate tax rate.

 

Net loss. Our net loss decreased by approximately $3,785,000, or 77%, to approximately $1,132,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from approximately $4,917,000 in the same period of 2021. The decrease in net loss resulted primarily from the factors described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses in the amount of approximately $1,137,000 and had negative cash flow from operating activities of $1,741,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Although we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities through 2022, we had a cash balance of just over $5,990,000 as of March 31, 2022 and the Company’s management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to execute its business plan over the next twelve months. If the Company is unable to successfully commercialize its products over the next twelve months, it may need to raise additional capital at a later time. There are no assurances that the Company would be able to raise additional capital, if required, on terms favorable to it. If the Company is unsuccessful in commercializing its products and raising capital, it will need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we met our short-term liquidity requirements from our existing cash reserves. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products, our development of future products and competing technological and market developments as well as our ability to overcome obstacles that may be presented due to developments caused by the coronavirus outbreak. We expect to continue to incur losses and negative flows from operations. We intend to use the proceeds generated from equity financings, or strategic alliances with third parties, either alone or in combination with equity financing to meet our short-term liquidity requirements as well as to advance our long-term plans. While we believe we have sufficient capital to execute our business plan over the next twelve months, there are no assurances that we will not need to raise additional capital later, or that we would be able to raise additional capital, if required, on terms favorable to us.

 

We do not have any material commitments to capital expenditures as of March 31, 2022, and we are not aware of any material trends in capital resources that would impact our business.

 

14

 

 

Cash flows

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,990,000, compared to approximately $7,978,000 as of March 31, 2021. We have historically met our cash needs through a combination of issuance of equity, borrowing activities and sales. Our cash requirements are generally for product development, research and development cost, marketing and sales activities, finance and administrative cost, capital expenditures and general working capital.

 

Cash used in our operating activities was approximately $1,741,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $954,000 for the same period in 2021.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1,406,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2022, we have no off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have, or may have, a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Factors That May Affect Future Operations

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting since the filing of the Form 10-K on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022.

 

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

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

 

On March 15, 2022, the arbitrator issued a final award, which, although found that Protrade’s claims failed as a matter of law or were unsupported by the evidence, nevertheless awarded Protrade $1,500,250, which consists of $1,432,000 for “lost profits” and $68,250 as reimbursement of arbitration costs, on the grounds that the Company allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certain patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device. The arbitrator based her decision on the basis of testimony of Protrade’s president who asserted that a user would use in excess of 33 patches per each device. The Company believes that the number of patches per device alleged by Protrade is grossly inflated. Accordingly, on April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application for the correction of the award. If the application is denied, the Company will continue vehemently opposing the award in all appropriate fora.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company accrued the amount of the award to Protrade amounting to $1,500,250 as part of “Other accounts payable and accrued expenses”.

 

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

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to, and supersedes the description of, the risk factors addressed below associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, as amended on May 2, 2022. Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

 

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

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

 

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

 

Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted. In addition, management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting (including those weaknesses identified in our periodic reports), or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our securities.

 

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of a full and complete testing of our disclosure controls and procedures. We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting and related disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021. Our management is in the process of implementing remediation measures with respect to the controls and written policies and procedures as described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” and management expects that such measures, once fully implemented, will be sufficient to remediate such material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2021.

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

 


Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We must satisfy NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million and a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.

 

On March 2 2022, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 14, 2022, through March 1, 2022, we did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 555(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 29, 2022, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

 

There is no assurance that we can regain compliance with such minimum listing requirements. If our common stock were delisted from NASDAQ, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
