NanoVibronix, Inc.
Notes to Condensed 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 – GOING CONCERN, LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
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 three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company has incurred losses as well as negative cash outflows from operating activities and expects to incur losses and negative cash outflows from operating activities through at least fiscal year 2023. Because the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the date of this filing and there could be a significant arbitration payment due (see Note 9), substantial doubt exists as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company will need to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, the development of its product candidates and the Company’s commercial strategy may be impacted and there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
On May 23, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that we no longer comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq because our stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.2 million as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, is below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and as of May 22, 2023, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days, or until July 7, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance. On July 7, 2023 we submitted our plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum stockholders’ equity standard. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant us an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter to evidence compliance. On July 19, 2023, the Staff granted the Company’s request for continued listing pursuant to an extension through November 20, 2023, to evidence compliance with the Rule.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
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. 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. 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 condensed 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, 2022, as found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2023.
The balance sheet for December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.
5 |
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 believes 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 for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $37 and $51, respectively.
Revenue recognition
Revenues from product sales are 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.
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 and distributor fees, processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government rebates. The Company constrains revenue by considering 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.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, “Topic 326”). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023, and there was no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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.
Reverse Stock Split
On February 8, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 20 pre-split shares. The Company’s common stock begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on February 9, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account had their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in a stockholder owning a fractional share. Any fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the Reverse Stock Split was rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s equity awards, warrants and other convertible securities, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion price thereof. On February 16, 2023, the Company rounded up fractional shares to its nearest whole number of shares.
All references in this Report to number of shares, price per share and weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding prior to the Reverse Stock Split have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis, unless otherwise noted.

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
The following table presents changes in Level 3 asset and liability measured at fair value for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 “Exclusive Distribution Agreement”) between Protrade and the Company. Protrade alleges, in part, that the Company has breached the Exclusive Distribution 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, determined that (i) the Company had the right to terminate the Exclusive Distribution Agreement; (ii) the Company did not breach the duty of good faith and fair dealing with regard to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement; and (iii) the Company did not breach any confidentiality obligations to Protrade. Nevertheless the arbitrator determined that the Company did not comply with the obligation to supply Protrade with a year’s supply of patches, and 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 the decision on the 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, and that these claims were not properly raised before the arbitrator. Accordingly, on April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application for the correction of the award which the arbitrator denied on June 22, 2022.
On April 5, 2022, Protrade filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of New York Nassau County seeking to confirm the Award. On April 13, 2022, the Company submitted an application to the ICA seeking to correct an error in the award based on the evidence that the Company only sold 2-3 reusable patches per device contrary to the 33 reusable patches claimed by Protrade. The same arbitrator who issued the award, denied the application.
On July 22, 2022, the Company filed a cross-motion seeking to vacate arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded her authority, that the award was procured by fraud, and that the arbitrator failed to follow procedures established by New York law. In particular, the Company averred in its motion that Protrade’s witness made false statements in arbitration, and that the arbitrator resolved a claim that was never raised by Protrade and that has no factual basis.
On October 3, 2022, the court issued a decision granting Protrade its petition to confirm the award and denying the cross-motion.
On November 9, 2022, the Company filed a motion to re-argue and renew its cross-motion to vacate the arbitration decision based on newer information that was not available during the initial hearing. On the same day, the Company also filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. On March 21, 2023, the Court denied the motion to re-argue and renew.
On July 10, 2023, we filed its appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. The Company intends to continue to vigorously pursue its opposition to the award in all appropriate fora.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company accrued the amount of the award to Protrade amounting to approximately $1.9 million, with the $0.4 million of interest accrued as part of “Interest expense” and “Other accounts payable and accrued expenses” on both periods.
NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The firm of FisherBroyles LLP is handling the Company’s Protrade litigation and appeals. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company have been billed and paid legal fees from FisherBroyles amounting to $23 and $89, respectively, and it has been recorded as part of “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc.

Nasdaq Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement
On May 23, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that we no longer comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq because our stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.2 million as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, is below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and as of May 22, 2023, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we had 45 calendar days, or until July 7, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance. On July 7, 2023 we submitted our plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum stockholders’ equity standard. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant us an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter to evidence compliance. On July 19, 2023, the Staff granted our request for continued listing pursuant to an extension through November 20, 2023, to evidence compliance with the Rule.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance. If we do not regain compliance by the end of the extension granted by Nasdaq, or we fail to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq staff could provide notice that our common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules permit us to appeal the decision to reject its proposed compliance plan or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our Nasdaq listing.
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, 2022. There have not been any material changes to such critical accounting policies since December 31, 2022.
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.

The decrease in revenues was mainly due to decreased orders from Ultra Pain Products, LLC (“UPPI”), one of our two largest customers, partially offset, to a lesser extent, by the increase in volume of sales to veteran administration facilities (“VA”). 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, selling and marketing expenses were approximately $441,000 and $543,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately 19%, or $102,000, between the periods. The decrease was due to lesser payments made to sales consultants and building website sales portals in 2022.
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.
Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues were relatively steady totaling approximately 68% and 72% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,984,000 and $2,097,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately 5%, or $113,000, between the periods. The decrease was mainly due to the increased legal costs from the appeal of the arbitration litigation in the mid-year of 2022.
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.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were approximately 306% and 277% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Financial expense, net. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, financial expenses, net was approximately $25,000 compared to $31,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately $6,000 between the periods mainly due to the change in fair value of the investment in Sanuwave.
Interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, interest expense was $67,000 and $0, respectively. This pertains to the interest on the Company’s judgment liability for the first six months of 2023.

Income tax expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, tax expenses were $15,000 and $23,000, respectively. 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 $263,000, or 11%, to approximately $2,171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $2,434,000 in the same period of 2022. 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 $2,171,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which primarily consisted of lower amount of revenues and increased interest expense from judgement liability. We also had negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,429,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. We had a cash balance of just over $253,000 as of June 30, 2023 and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows from operating activities, and therefore, do not have sufficient resources to fund our operation for the next twelve months from the date of this filing causing us to have substantial doubt of our ability to continue as a going concern We will need to continue to raise additional capital to finance our losses and negative cash flows from operations beyond the next years and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. As a result, we will be limited in our ability to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will need to adjust our business plan and reduce workforce.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, 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 and our development of future products and competing technological and market developments. 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. There are no assurances that we are able to raise additional capital, as required, on terms favorable to us.
We do not have any material commitments to capital expenditures as of June 30, 2023, other than the $1.9 million owed to Protrade under the court decision, which we continue to appeal.
As of June 30, 2023, 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.
Cash flows
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $253,000, compared to approximately $2,713,000 as of December 31, 2022. 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 $2,429,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $3,740,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Cash used in our investing activities was approximately $1,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $2,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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 June 30, 2023, 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness
With the oversight of senior management and our audit committee, we have taken the steps below and we plan to take additional measures to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023:
● | We took steps to remediate the stock issuance material weakness through creating a template documentation that needs to be filled out before any new equity issuances to ensure that there are no further over-issuances. | |
● | With assistance from a current finance and accounting third-party service provider, we are formalizing our risk assessment process, policies and procedures, implementing revised control activities, controls documentation, and ongoing monitoring activities related to the internal controls over financial reporting including testing documentation to provide evidence that our system of internal controls over financial reporting meets the requirements of the COSO 2013 framework, and provide a foundation to communicate internal control deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action. | |
● | We have expanded consultations with third party specialists on complex accounting matters, financial reporting and regulatory filings. | |
● | We have enhanced documentation of internal control activities | |
● | We have enhanced monitoring of the internal control activities process | |
● | We have added an additional level of review to ensure accurate inventory costing and recording |
In addition, under the direction of the audit committee of the Board of Directors, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as to refine policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting of the Company.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than described above in Item 4, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be involved in certain claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of business. Management assesses such claims and, if it considers that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, provisions for loss are made based on management’s assessment of the most likely outcome.
On February 26, 2021, Protrade Systems, Inc. (“Protrade”) filed a Request for Arbitration (the “Request”) with the International Court of Arbitration (the “ICA”) of the International Chamber of Commerce alleging we were in breach of an Exclusive Distribution Agreement. Protrade alleges, in part, that we breached the Exclusive Distribution 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, determined that (i) the Company had the right to terminate the Exclusive Distribution Agreement; (ii) we did not breach the duty of good faith and fair dealing with regard to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement; and (iii) we did not breach any confidentiality obligations to Protrade. Nevertheless, the arbitrator determined that we did not comply with the obligation to supply Protrade with a year’s supply of patches, and 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 we allegedly failed to supply Protrade with certain patches utilized by users of DV0057 Painshield MD device. The arbitrator based the decision on the testimony of Protrade’s president who asserted that a user would use in excess of 33 patches per each device. We believe that the number of patches per device alleged by Protrade is grossly inflated, and that these claims were not properly raised before the arbitrator. Accordingly, on April 13, 2022, we submitted an application for the correction of the award which the arbitrator denied on June 22, 2022.
On April 5, 2022, Protrade filed a Petition with the Supreme Court of New York Nassau County seeking to confirm the award. On April 13, 2022, we submitted an application to the ICA seeking to correct an error in the award based on the evidence that we only sold 2-3 reusable patches per device contrary to the 33 reusable patches claimed by Protrade. The same arbitrator who issued the award, denied the application.
On July 22, 2022, we filed a cross-motion seeking to vacate arbitration award on the grounds that the arbitrator exceeded her authority, that the award was procured by fraud, and that the arbitrator failed to follow procedures established by New York law. In particular, we averred in our motion that Protrade’s witness made false statements in arbitration, and that the arbitrator resolved a claim that was never raised by Protrade and that has no factual basis.
On October 3, 2022, the court issued a decision granting Protrade its petition to confirm the award and denying the cross-motion.
On November 9, 2022, we filed a motion to re-argue and renew our cross-motion to vacate the arbitration decision based on newer information that was not available during the initial hearing. On the same day, we also filed a notice of appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. On March 21, 2023, the Court denied the motion to re-argue and renew.
On July 10, 2023, we filed our appeal with the Appellate Division, Second Department. We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our opposition to the award in all appropriate fora.
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, 2022, as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023. 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 factor contains forward-looking statements. This risk factor 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.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not include adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management has substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s cash used in operations was $2,429 leaving a cash balance of $253 as of June 30, 2023. Because the Company does not have sufficient resources to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the date of this filing, management has substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company will need to raise additional capital to finance its losses and negative cash flows from operations and may continue to be dependent on additional capital raising as long as our products do not reach commercial profitability. There are no assurances that the Company would be able to raise additional capital 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.
If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, 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 Nasdaq. 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 Nasdaq 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 May 23, 2023, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that we no longer comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on Nasdaq because our stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.2 million as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, is below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and as of May 22, 2023, we did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.
20 |
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, on July 7, 2023 we submitted our plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum stockholders’ equity standard. On July 19, 2023, the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq granted our request for continued listing pursuant to an extension through November 20, 2023, to evidence compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, conditioned upon achievement of certain milestones included in the plan of compliance previously submitted to Nasdaq.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance. If we do not regain compliance by the end of the extension granted by Nasdaq, or we fail to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq staff could provide notice that our common stock will become subject to delisting. 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.
