Note 1 — The Company, Description of the Business, and Going Concern

PAVmed Inc. (“PAVmed” or the “Company”) was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 26, 2014 originally under the name of PAXmed Inc. On April 19, 2015, the Company changed its name to PAVmed Inc. The Company operates in one segment as a medical device company organized to advance a broad pipeline of innovative medical technologies from concept to commercialization using a business model focused on capital and time efficiency.

Initial Public Offering

On April 28, 2016, under a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-203569) declared effective January 29, 2016, the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was consummated with the issuance of 1,060,000 units at an offering price of $5.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant (referred to as an “IPO Warrant”). The IPO resulted in gross cash proceeds of $5.3 million and $4.2 million of net cash proceeds, after deducting cash selling agent discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The IPO Warrants became exercisable on October 28, 2016 and expire on January 29, 2022 or earlier upon redemption by the Company under certain conditions. Each IPO Warrant has an exercise price of $5.00. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Company’s 9,560,295 previously outstanding warrants converted into identical warrants issued in the IPO. See Note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants, for a discussion of the IPO units and corresponding shares of common stock and IPO Warrants. In connection with the consummation of the IPO, the units were approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “PAVMU”. On July 27, 2016, the common stock and warrants comprising the units began separate trading on Nasdaq. under the symbols “PAVM” and “PAVMW”, respectively, and the unit and symbol PAVMU ceased to be quoted and traded on Nasdaq.

Series A Preferred Stock Units Private Placement

The Company’s Board of Directors previously authorized the issuance of up to a total of 1.25 million Series A Preferred Stock Units, including authorizing 500,000 units on January 21, 2017 and 750,000 units on May 10, 2017. On January 26, 2017, the Company entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Units Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company may issue up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 (subject to increase) of Series A Preferred Stock Units at a price of $6.00 per unit, in a placement transaction (Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement).

At the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement initial closing on January 26, 2017, and at subsequent closings on January 31, 2017 and March 8, 2017, a total of 422,838 Series A Preferred Stock Units were issued for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $2.1 million, after payment of placement agent fees and closing costs.

A Series A Preferred Stock Unit consists of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A Warrant. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants are immediately separable upon their issuance. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock became convertible and the Series A Warrants became exercisable on May 21, 2017 upon stockholder approval, obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d), of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement.

Initially, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of $6.00 per share divided by the initial conversion price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment; and, each Series A Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at the initial exercise price of $8.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Subsequently, on July 3, 2017, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price was adjusted to $5.00 per share, and the Series A Warrant exercise price was adjusted to $6.67 per share, as a result of the issuance of the Series S Warrants, as described below. Further, upon the issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units on August 4, 2017, as discussed below, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price was further adjusted to $4.99 per share, and the Series A Warrants exercise price was further adjusted to $6.65 per share, and each is subject to further adjustment. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable and issuance of Series S Warrants, and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction.

Further, through April 30, 2024, each Series A Warrant may also be exchanged, at the option of the holder, into four Series X Warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, with such Series X Warrant exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series X Warrants are exercisable commencing on the first trading day following October 31, 2018, and may be exercised until April 30, 2024, or earlier upon redemption. See Note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants, for a discussion of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement and the Series X Warrants.

$5.0 Million Senior Secured Note Payable and Series S Warrants - July 3, 2017

Effective July 3, 2017 the Company consummated the issuance of $5.0 million of Senior Secured Notes Payable and Series S Warrants to Scopia Holdings, LLC, (“Scopia” or “Lender”), upon Scopia delivering on July 3, 2017 by wire transfer to the Company $4.8 million of cash net proceeds, with the delivery of such cash net proceeds completing a Note and Securities Purchase Agreement the Company and Scopia had signed in the evening of June 30, 2017. Under the Note and Securities Purchase Agreement, in consideration of amounts loaned to the Company by Scopia, on July 3, 2017, the Company issued: a 15.0% senior secured promissory note (the “Note”) in favor of the Lender, with a principal amount of $5,000,000; and, 2,660,000 Series S Warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 issuance the Senior Secured Promissory Notes and Series S Warrants.

Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units Private Placement

On August 3, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 150,000 Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units, and on August 4, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company may issue up to an aggregate of $600,000 (subject to increase) of Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units at a price of $4.00 per unit, in a private placement transaction (Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement).

At the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement closing on August 4, 2017, a total of 125,000 Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units were issued for aggregate proceeds of $500,000. The Company did not incur placement agent fees in connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement.

A Series A-1 Preferred Stock Unit consists of one share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A-1 Warrant, as more fully described below. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Warrants were immediately separable and convertible and /or exercisable upon their issuance. The Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share, no voting rights, a stated value of $4.00 per share, and, at the holders’ election, is convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of $4.00 per share divided by the conversion price of $4.00 per share, with such conversion price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series A-1 Warrants may be exercised for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.67 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock.

Further, through April 30, 2024, each Series A-1 Warrant may also be exchanged, at the option of the holder, into four Series X Warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, with such Series X Warrant exercise price not subject-to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. See Note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants, for a further discussion of the Series X Warrant.

In connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement, the Company has entered into a registration rights agreement requiring the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering for resale the maximum number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the issued Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Series A-1 Warrants or, if converted, the Series X Warrants. The registration rights agreement requires the Company to file a registration statement registering the underlying common shares no later than sixty (60) days from the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement closing date, and to use commercially reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective no later than one hundred and fifty (150) days from such closing date. Delays in the filing of the registration statement or maintaining its effectiveness would result in the Company having to pay damages of 2% of each investor’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units subscription amount on the date of a Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, and Maintenance Failure, as well as every 30^th day thereafter (pro-rated for periods totaling less than 30 days) until the failure is cured. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement.

Note 1 — The Company, Description of the Business, and Going Concern (continued)

Going Concern

The provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (ASC 205-40) requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of the financial statements are issued. In each reporting period, including interim periods, an entity is required to assess conditions known and reasonably knowable as of the financial statement issuance date to determine whether it is probable an entity will not meet its financial obligations within one year from the financial statement issuance date. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and has not generated any revenues to date. As such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company does not expect to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future until such time, if at all, the Company completes the development process of its products, including regulatory approvals, and thereafter, begins to commercialize and achieve substantial acceptance in the marketplace for the first of a series of products in its medical device portfolio.

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5,337,506 and had net cash flows used in operating activities of $2,648,711 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,961,630, negative working capital of $1,839,196, adjusted to exclude the Series A Warrants and the derivative liability, and cash of $82,052. In the near future, the Company anticipates incurring operating losses and does not expect to experience positive cash flows from operating activities and may continue to incur operating losses for the next several years as it completes the development of its products and seeks regulatory approvals to market such products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company estimates its current cash resources, including the approximately $4.8 million of net cash proceeds received in the July 3, 2017 $5.0 million Senior Secured Notes Payable transaction, and $500,000 of cash proceeds resulting from the August 4, 2017 issuance of Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units in a private placement transaction (see Note 14, Subsequent Events for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 $5.0 million Senior Secured Notes Payable and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transactions), absent any additional sources of cash, is sufficient to fund its operations into the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to fund its anticipated operating losses beyond the twelve months after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Therefore, the Company must raise additional cash to support its operating and capital needs beyond the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

The Company’s ability to fund its operations is dependent upon management’s plans, which include raising additional capital, obtaining regulatory approvals for its products currently under development, commercializing and generating revenues from products currently under development, and continuing to control expenses. However, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

A failure to raise sufficient capital, obtain regulatory approvals for the Company’s products, generate sufficient product revenues, or control expenditures, among other factors, will adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations as they become due and payable and to achieve its intended business objectives, and therefore, raises substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. As permitted under SEC rules, certain footnotes or other financial information normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, and accordingly the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial information. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for any other interim period or for any other future periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include those related to the fair value of warrants, the fair value of derivative liability, stock-based compensation, research and development expenses, the provision or benefit for income taxes and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. In addition, management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern involves the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash inflows and outflows. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgements, and methodologies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash

The Company maintains its cash at a major financial institution with high credit quality. At times, the balance of its cash deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses on deposits with commercial banks and financial institutions which exceed federally insured limits.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are recognized as incurred and include the salary and stock-based compensation of the Company’s Chief Medical Officer (“CMO”) and the costs related to the Company’s various contract research service providers, suppliers, engineering studies, supplies, and outsourced testing and consulting, as well as rental costs for equipment and access to certain facilities at one of the Company’s contract research service providers.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees directly associated with in-process capital financing as deferred offering costs. The deferred offering costs are recognized as either an offset against the financing proceeds to extent the proceeds are equity classified and as a current period expense to extent the proceeds are liability classified, upon consummation of the offering. The deferred offering costs at December 31, 2016 relate to legal fees incurred with respect to an in-process financing transaction involving a Preferred Stock Units private placement - see Note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Shareholders’ Deficit, and Warrants for further details regarding the Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction.

Patent Costs and Purchased Patent License Rights

Patent related costs in connection with filing and prosecuting patent applications and patents filed by the Company are expensed as incurred, and are classified as general and administrative expenses. The purchase of patent license rights for use in research and development activities are expensed as incurred and are classified as research and development expense.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in the consolidated statement of operations. The useful lives of equipment are as follows:

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the asset is considered impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. The Company has not recorded impairment of any long-lived assets in the periods presented.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows:

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. At June 30, 2017, the carrying values of the warrant and derivative liability are measured at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. At December 31, 2016 the Company did not have any assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. See Note 3, Financial Instruments, and note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants for further information regarding fair value measurement.

Warrant Liability and Derivative Liability

The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those instruments or any potential embedded components of those instruments qualify as derivatives that need to be separately accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Embedded derivatives satisfying certain criteria are recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each reporting period with the change in the fair value recorded as other income or expense. In addition, upon the occurrence of an event that requires the derivative liability to be reclassified to equity, the derivative liability is revalued to fair value at that date.

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity instruments or derivative liabilities depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. Warrants that allow for cash settlement or provide for certain modifications of the warrant exercise price are accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company uses level 3 inputs to value warrants classified as liabilities, as they have down-round provisions which allow the exercise price to be adjusted as a result of certain future financing transactions. The estimated fair values of the warrant liabilities with down-round protection were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation which takes into account the probabilities of certain events occurring over the life of the warrants. The derivative liability fair value is remeasured at each reporting period, with any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value being recorded in other income (expense).

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company issues stock-based awards to employees, members of its board of directors, and non-employees. Stock-based awards to employees and members of its board of directors are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, and stock based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

The Company measures the compensation expense of stock-based awards granted to employees and members of its board of directors using the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective stock option award.

The Company measures the expense of stock-based awards granted to non-employees on a vesting date basis, fixing the fair value of vested non-employee stock options as of the their respective vesting date. The fair value of vested non-employee stock options is not subject-to-change at subsequent reporting dates. The estimated fair value of the unvested non-employee stock options is remeasured to then current fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The expense of non-employee stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective non-employee stock option award.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, (“ASU 2016-09”) which simplified several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017, although early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09 effective as of April 1, 2016. As the Company did not have any stock options issued or outstanding prior to the closing of its IPO, the early adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, as required by FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (ASC Topic 740). Current tax liabilities or receivables are recognized for the amount of taxes estimated to be payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, along with net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes.

The Company assesses the likelihood its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent it deems reasonable, based on available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance reserve is established through a charge to income tax expense.

The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position it has taken or expects to take on its income tax return if such a position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, with the tax benefit recognized being the largest amount having a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, or recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions. The Company is not aware of any issues under review to potentially result in significant payments, accruals, or material deviations from its position.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period, and, if dilutive, the potential dilutive effects of convertible preferred stock (to the extent such preferred stock is eligible for conversion into common stock), stock options, unit purchase options, and warrants (to the extent such warrants are eligible to be exercised for common stock) using the treasury stock method. Notwithstanding, as the Company’s consolidated financial results resulted in a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, due to the exclusion of incremental shares resulting from common stock equivalents, including convertible preferred stock (to the extent such preferred stock is eligible for conversion into common stock), stock options, unit purchase options, and warrants (to the extent such warrants are eligible to be exercised for common stock) as inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Segment Data

The Company manages its operations as a single operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. No revenue has been generated since inception, and all tangible assets are held in the United States.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Part I - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down-Round Features, and Part II - Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Principally, ASU 2017-11 amendments simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down-round features. The amendments require companies to disregard the down-round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the down-round feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down-round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity. Additionally, ASU 2017-11 also addresses “navigational concerns” within the FASB ASC related to an indefinite deferral available to private companies with mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and certain noncontrolling interests, which has resulted in the existence of significant “pending content” in the ASC. The FASB decided to reclassify the indefinite deferral as a scope exception, which does not have an accounting effect. The guidance of ASU 2017-11 is effective for public business entities, as defined in the ASC Master Glossary, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and for all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or have not been made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting. In ASU 2017-09, the FASB provides guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of stock-based compensation arrangements require the application of “modification accounting” under ASC 718. Generally, ASC 718 modification accounting is not applicable if the stock-based arrangement immediately before and after the modification has the same fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification. The guidance of ASU 2017-09 is effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for public business entities, as defined in the ASC Master Glossary, for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2017, and it did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (disposals) of assets or businesses. The objective of ASU 2017-01 is to narrow the definition of what qualifies as a business under Topic 805 and to provide guidance for streamlining the analysis required to assess whether a transaction involves the acquisition (disposal) of a business. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to assess when a set of assets and processes do not qualify as a business under Topic 805, reducing the number of transactions that need to be considered as possible business acquisitions. ASU 2017-01 also narrows the definition of output under Topic 805 to make it consistent with the description of outputs under Topic 606. The guidance of ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which amended the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows (ASC 230) on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments. The primary purpose of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce the diversity in practice which has resulted from a lack of consistent principles on this topic. The amendments of ASU 2016-15 add or clarify guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The guidance of ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016-08”). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606: The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model requiring a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater-than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods with those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and subsequently issued additional updates amending the guidance contained in Topic 606 thereby affecting the guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 and the subsequent Topic 606 updates will supersede and replace nearly all existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount equal to the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle, and in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is evaluating the guidance in ASU 2014-09 and the subsequent Topic 606 updates and has not yet determined what, if any, effect this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 Note 3 — Financial Instruments

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 (there were no such financial liabilities as of December 31, 2016).

In connection with the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction, the Company issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into, and the Series A Warrants are exercisable for, shares of the Company’s common stock, each at the option of the holder. See Note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants for further discussion of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and the Series A Warrants.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option, which is accounted for as an embedded derivative and bifurcated from the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock host instrument, and the Series A Warrants were determined to be derivatives under ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative and the Series A Warrants are each classified as a current liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability and Series A Warrants were initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. A reconciliation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative and the Series A Warrants liability is a follows:

 Note 4 — Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following as of:

Note 5 — Equipment, Net

Equipment, net consisted of the following as of:

Depreciation expense was $1,803 and $3,505 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $705 and $837 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Note 6 — Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following for the periods indicated:

At June 30, 2017, the accrued bonus represents the estimated amount recognized on a pro rata basis during 2017 of the guaranteed bonus payment to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) under the CEO Employment Agreement. At December 31, 2016, the CEO waived his right to receive a guaranteed bonus payment for 2016. See Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, for further details regarding the CEO compensation. In addition to the CEO guaranteed bonus payment, in December 2016, the Company also reversed the accrued discretionary bonus payments previously recognized throughout 2016, as the Company’s board of directors determined no discretionary bonuses would be paid for 2016.

At June 30, 2017, the accrued payroll represents earned but unpaid salary through June 30, 2017, payable to the Company’s CEO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and CMO, with such amounts subsequently paid to each employee in July 2017.

The accrued board of director fees at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 represent amounts payable to all non-executive members of the board of directors, including $10,000 payable to a board member deemed to be a related party, at each of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The accrued professional fees at December 31, 2016 related to deferred offering costs incurred with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement. See Note 12, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants, for a discussion of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction.

Note 7 — Income Taxes

In the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit which was fully offset by a corresponding valuation allowance. As required by ASC Topic 740, a “more-likely-than-not” criterion is applied when evaluating the realization of a deferred tax asset. The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Based on the Company’s history of operating losses, the Company has concluded it is more-likely-than-not the benefit of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

Effective October 2015, the Company entered into a three-year management services agreement through October 2018 with HCP/Advisors LLC, an affiliate of a director of the Company.

Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

Leases

The Company leases office space for its corporate office, which initially provided for two consecutive six month terms beginning on February 1, 2016, rent payments of $9,500 per month and the option to cancel the lease agreement at the end of the initial six-month term at the election of the Company. Subsequently, the lease agreement was amended to add additional office space at an additional rate of $4,400 per month, and extended the lease term through May 31, 2017.

Effective March 1, 2017, the rented office space was reduced, resulting in a $650 per month reduction of the monthly lease payment, and effective August 1, 2017, the rented office space was further reduced, resulting in a $3,938 per month reduction of the monthly lease payment. The lease agreement includes a 5% increase in monthly rent effective on each twelve month anniversary date. Upon the May 31, 2017 termination date, the lease agreement converted to a month-to-month lease, which may be cancelled by the Company with three months written notice. At this time, the Company is leasing the office space on a month-to-month basis.

Total rent expense incurred under the corporate office space lease arrangement was $41,362 and $83,488 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $32,250 and $51,250 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2017, the Company’s future minimum lease payments totaled $126,131 for the period July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, with respect to the lease arrangement on a month-to-month basis.

Additionally, the Company had previously rented access to a research and development facility, beginning on May 1, 2015, for monthly rent of $1,000 on a month-to-month basis, under which either the landlord or the Company could cancel the rental arrangement at any time. Effective February 28, 2017, the Company ceased use of the research and development facility and canceled the rental arrangement. Total rental expense under this research and development facility rental arrangement amounted to $0 and $2,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $3,000 and $6,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, from time-to-time, the Company may be subject to claims in legal proceedings. However, the Company does not believe it is currently a party to any pending legal actions. Notwithstanding, legal proceedings are subject-to inherent uncertainties, and an unfavorable outcome could include monetary damages, and in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 10 — Agreement Related to Intellectual Property Right

Tufts Patent License Agreement - Antibiotic-Eluting Resorbable Ear Tubes

On November 2, 2016, the Company executed a Patent License Agreement (the “Tufts Patent License Agreement”) with Tufts University and its co-owners, the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Massachusetts General Hospital (the “Licensors”). Pursuant to the Tufts Patent License Agreement, the Licensors granted the Company the exclusive right and license to certain patents in connection with the development and commercialization of antibiotic-eluting resorbable ear tubes based on a proprietary aqueous silk technology conceived and developed by the Licensors. Upon execution of the Tufts Patent License Agreement, the Company paid the Licensors an upfront non-refundable fee of $50,000. The Tufts Patent License Agreement also provides for payments from the Company to the Licensors upon the achievement of certain product development and regulatory clearance milestones as well as royalty payments on net sales upon the commercialization of products developed utilizing the licensed patents. The Company incurred expenses related to patent fee reimbursement under the Tufts Patent License Agreement of $0 and $20,551 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

The Company accounted for the Tufts Patent License Agreement as an asset acquisition as the license agreement did not meet the definition of a business pursuant to the guidance prescribed in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, as the transaction principally resulted in the acquisition of intellectual property rights only. In this regard, the Company did not acquire any employees or tangible assets, or any processes, protocols, or operating systems. Additionally, at the time of the transaction, there were no activities being conducted related to the licensed patents. As of the transaction date, the Company recognized as expense the cost of the acquired intellectual property rights, as required, since this intangible asset purchased from others for use in a research and development activity, and for which there are no alternative future uses. Accordingly, the Company recognized the $50,000 payment as research and development expense in the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company will record as expense any contingent milestone payments or royalties in the period in which such liabilities are incurred.

Note 11 — Stock Based Compensation

In November 2014, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders adopted the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (the “2014 Stock Plan”). The 2014 Stock Plan is designed to enable the Company to offer employees, officers, directors and consultants, as defined, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2014 Stock Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards subject to limitations under applicable law. All awards are subject to approval by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.

The 2014 Stock Plan reserves 1,951,081 shares of common stock for issuance in accordance with the 2014 Stock Plan’s terms. Stock options granted outside the 2014 Stock Plan amounted to 250,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 250,854 on April 28, 2016. At June 30, 2017, there were 620,011 shares of common stock available for grant under the 2014 Stock Plan.

The following table summarizes information about stock options for the periods presented below:

In March 2017, the Company granted 250,000 stock options to the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer, with a ten year contractual term from date of grant, an exercise price of $5.95 per share, and vesting ratably on a quarterly basis commencing June 30, 2017 and ending March 31, 2020.

On April 28, 2016, upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, a total of 1,588,313 stock options were granted, including 961,178 to management, 487,770 to members of the board of directors, and 139,365 to members of the Company’s medical advisory board. The stock options granted on April 28, 2016, have a ten year contractual term from date of grant, an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and vest 3/36 on July 28, 2016, and 1/36 on each successive month thereafter from Aug 28, 2016 to April 28, 2019.

In November 2016, the Company granted 20,000 stock options to a (related party) consultant, with a ten year contractual term from date of grant, an exercise price of $9.50 per share, and vesting ratably on a quarterly basis commencing December 31, 2016 and ending September 30, 2019.

The aggregate intrinsic value is computed as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock options and the quoted price of the common stock on March 31, 2016, to the extent the exercise price is less than the quoted price.

The weighted average remaining contractual term of stock options outstanding was 8.8 years at June 30, 2017. The weighted average remaining contractual term of stock options vested and exercisable was 8.4 years at June 30, 2017.

Note 11 — Stock Based Compensation (continued)

The stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and directors is based on the grant-date fair value, and for stock options granted to non-employees is based on the vesting date fair value, with the cost recognized on a straight-line basis over the award’s requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was recognized as follows:

Included in general and administrative expenses, is $51,389 of stock-based compensation expense resulting from the March 31, 2017 modifications to the stock option grant previously awarded to the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Previously, on April 28, 2016, upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, the former CFO was granted a stock option to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share. On March 31, 2017, the April 28, 2016 stock option agreement was amended wherein the stock option grant continued to vest monthly in April, May, and June 2017, and the 48,611 vested stock options are exercisable until April 28, 2019, with the remaining 76,389 stock options forfeited effective March 31, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, there was $2,107,642 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.9 years (which represents the weighted average remaining requisite service periods for such awards).

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related to the expected price volatility of the Company’s stock, the period during which the options will be outstanding, the rate of return on risk- free investments, and the expected dividend yield for the Company’s stock.

Stock options issued to employees:

The grant date fair value of stock options granted to employees and members of the board of directors was $2.90 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $1.32 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2016, calculated using the following Black-Scholes valuation model assumptions:

Stock options issued to non-employees:

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted to non-employees was $3.86 per share as of June 30, 2017 and $7.97 at June 30, 2016, with such fair values calculated using the following weighted-average Black-Scholes valuation model assumptions:

Note 11 — Stock Based Compensation (continued)

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share with such designation, rights, and preferences as may be determined from time-to-time by the Company’s board of directors. As discussed below, at June 30, 2017, a total of 422,838 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2016 there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. Subsequently, on August 4, 2017, the Company issued 125,000 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction.

Series A Preferred Stock Units Private Placement

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of up to a total of 1.25 million Series A Preferred Stock Units, including authorizing 500,000 units on January 21, 2017 and 750,000 units on May 10, 2017. On January 26, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company may issue up to an aggregate of $3,000,000 (subject to increase) of Series A Preferred Stock Units at a price of $6.00 per unit, in a private placement transaction (Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement).

At the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement initial closing on January 26, 2017, and at subsequent closings on January 31, 2017 and March 8, 2017, a total of 422,838 Series A Preferred Stock Units were issued for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $2.1 million, after payment of placement agent fees and closing costs.

A Series A Preferred Stock Unit consists of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and one Series A Warrant, as more fully described below. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants were immediately separable upon their issuance. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock became convertible and the Series A Warrants became exercisable on May 21, 2017 upon stockholder approval, obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d), of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement.

Initially, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of $6.00 per share divided by the initial conversion price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment; and, each Series A Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at the initial exercise price of $8.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Subsequently, upon the issuance of the Series S Warrants on July 3, 2017, in connection with the $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price was adjusted to $5.00 per share, and the Series A Warrant exercise price was adjusted to $6.67 per share. Further, upon the issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units on August 4, 2017, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price was further adjusted to $4.99 per share, and the Series A Warrants exercise price was further adjusted to $6.65 per share, and each is subject to further adjustment. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable and issuance of Series S Warrants, and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transactions.

Further, through April 30, 2024, each Series A Warrant may also be exchanged, at the option of the holder, into four Series X Warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, with such Series X Warrant exercise price not subject-to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. The Series X Warrants are exercisable commencing on the first trading day following October 31, 2018, and may be exercised until April 30, 2024, or earlier upon redemption.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

In connection with the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, requiring the Company to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering for resale the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the issued Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Series A Warrants or, if converted, the Series X Warrants. The registration rights agreement required the Company to file an initial registration statement registering the underlying common shares no later than sixty (60) days from the initial closing date of the Preferred Stock Units private placement and to use commercially reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective no later than one hundred and fifty (150) days from the initial closing date. The Company timely filed the initial registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-216963) with the SEC on March 27, 2017, and such registration statement became effective on June 23, 2017. A failure of the Company to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement would result in the Company having to pay damages of 2% of each investor’s subscription amount on the date of a Maintenance Failure, as well as every 30^th day thereafter (pro-rated for periods totaling less than 30 days) until the failure is cured.

As discussed herein below, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option and the Series A Warrants were determined to be derivatives under ASC Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative and the Series A Warrants are each classified as a current liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative and the Series A Warrants liability were initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The initial carrying value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is the difference between the Series A Preferred Stock Units issuance gross proceeds less the initial fair values of the Series A Warrants liability and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability. At issuance, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a carrying value of $0 resulting from the aggregate initial fair value of the Series A Warrant liability and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability being in excess of the Series A Preferred Stock Units issuance gross proceeds, with such excess recognized as a current period expense amounting to $2,735,657, before offering costs of $388,628, which were also recognized as a current period expense, resulting in a $3,124,285 loss on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock Units recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations, summarized as follows:

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share, no voting rights, a stated value of $6.00 per share, and, at the holders’ election, is convertible into a number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value of $6.00 per share divided by the initial conversion price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Subsequently, upon the issuance of the Series S Warrants on July 3, 2017, in connection with the $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price was adjusted to $5.00 per share. Further, upon the issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units on August 4, 2017, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion price was further adjusted to $4.99 per share, and is subject to further adjustment. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable and issuance of Series S Warrants, and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transactions. The conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be further reduced by a prescribed formula on a weighted average basis should any subsequent issuances of convertible securities by the Company be sold at a price lower than the conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such issuance. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock became convertible, at the holders’ option, on May 21, 2017 upon shareholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d) of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement transaction.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provides for dividends at an 8% annual rate, compounded quarterly, accumulate, and are payable in arrears upon being declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends from April 1, 2017 through April 1, 2021 are payable-in-kind (“PIK”) in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The dividends may be settled, after April 1, 2021, at the option of the Company, through any combination of the issuance of additional Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, common shares, and /or cash payment. As of June 30, 2017, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividends totaling $77,711 or a payment-in-kind of 12,984 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, were earned, accumulated, and in arrears, as the Company’s Board of Directors has not declared such dividends payable. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock dividend payable liability as of June 30, 2017, and will not recognize such dividend payable liability until such dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights, and Limitations of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can become redeemable at the election of at least two-thirds of holders of the then number of issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if the Company fails to effect a dissolution of the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law within ninety (90) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company or a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled to be paid out the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of the common stock, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the stated value, plus any dividends accrued but unpaid, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock been converted into shares of common stock prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up, or Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined. As the Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined, is a contingent event, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is classified outside of stockholders’ equity in temporary (“mezzanine”) equity. Further, as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not currently redeemable and redemption is not probable, as a Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined, has not occurred and is not probable, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not be measured at fair value until such time as a redemption trigger occurs which causes redemption to be probable.

As discussed above, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a carrying value of $0 resulting from the issuance date initial fair values of the Series A Warrant liability and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability being in excess of the Preferred Stock Units issuance gross proceeds, with such excess recognized as a current period loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion Option Embedded Derivative Liability

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option (as discussed above), is accounted for as an embedded derivative, and bifurcated from the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock host instrument. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative is classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized as other income or expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability as of the dates indicated along with assumptions utilized in each calculation:

The fair value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The valuation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock conversion option embedded derivative liability is subjective and is affected by changes in inputs to the valuation model including the Company’s stock price, and the assumptions regarding the likelihood and timing of dilutive transactions; the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s equity instruments; risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields; and the Company’s dividend yield. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. There were 13,331,211 and 13,330,811 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In connection with the organization of the Company in June 2014, a total of 8,083,049 shares of the Company’s common stock and 8,710,182 warrants (of which 627,133 warrants were subsequently returned to the Company in October 2014) (“Founders’ Warrants”) were sold to the Company’s founders (the “Founders”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3,212.

In June 2014 and July 2014, in a private placement (Private Placement 1), a total of 418,089 units, consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant, were sold to the initial investor investors (“Initial Investors”) for an aggregate purchase price of $75,000 less offering costs of $7,500. In November 2014, the Company completed another private placement (Private Placement 2) of 2,355,233 units, consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant, raising $845,000 in gross offering proceeds less offering costs of $46,500. Taken together, the Private Placement 1 warrants and Private Placement 2 warrants are referred to collectively as the “Private Placement Warrants”. Subsequently, in September 2015, the Company issued 1,393,629 shares of common stock resulting from the exercise of 1,393,629 Private Placement Warrants for cash proceeds of $1.25 million.

On April 28, 2016, the Company’s IPO was consummated with the issuance of 1,060,000 units at an offering price of $5.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase a share of common stock at $5.00 per share (the “IPO Issued Warrants”). The IPO resulted in gross cash proceeds of $5.3 million and $4.2 million of net cash proceeds, after deducting cash selling agent discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company estimated the fair value of its common stock issued in the IPO using the guideline transaction method of the market approach and arrived at an estimated fair value of common stock of $3.50. See below for further information regarding the IPO Issued Warrants.

The remaining unexercised warrants issued in both the June 2014 inception transaction (the Founders Warrants discussed above) and the June and July 2014 private placement transactions (the Private Placement Warrants discussed above) - totaling 9,560,295 warrants - were converted into the same terms and conditions of the warrants issued in the Company’s IPO (as discussed above), and are heretofore aggregated with the warrants issued in the Company’s IPO, and are collectively referred to as “IPO Warrants”.

In March 2017, the Company issued 400 shares of common stock resulting from the exercise of 400 warrants for cash proceeds of $2,000. In November 2016, the Company issued 20,732 shares of common stock resulting from the exercise of 40,000 warrants on a cashless basis. In December 2016, the Company issued 79 shares of common stock resulting from the exercise of 200 warrants on a cashless basis.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

Warrants

The Company accounts for stock warrants as either equity instruments or derivative liabilities depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. The following table summarizes outstanding warrants to purchase common stock:

Subsequently, on July 3, 2017, 2,660,000 Series S Warrants were issued, in connection the $5.0 million Senior Secured Notes Payable; and on August 4, 2017, the Company issued 125,000 Series A-1 Warrants in connection with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 $5.0 million Senior Secured Notes Payable, and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transactions.

Equity-Classified Warrants

IPO Warrants

The 1,060,000 warrants issued in the April 28, 2016 IPO have an exercise price of $5.00 per share, with such exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock., and became exercisable on October 28, 2016 and expire on January 29, 2022 or earlier upon redemption by the Company, under certain conditions, as discussed below. As discussed above, effective on the date of the IPO, the previously issued 9,560,295 warrants outstanding at the time of the April 28, 2016 IPO, automatically converted into warrants having the same terms and conditions as the 1,060,000 warrants issued in the Company’s IPO, and are aggregated with the 1,060,000 warrants issued in the Company’s IPO, and are collectively referred to as IPO Warrants.

In March 2017, 400 IPO Warrants were exercised for cash proceeds of $2,000, resulting in the issuance of 400 shares of common stock. In November 2016, 40,000 IPO Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 20,732 shares of common stock. In December 2016, 200 IPO Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 79 shares of common stock.

Commencing April 28, 2017, the Company may redeem the outstanding IPO Warrants (other than those outstanding prior to the IPO held by the Company’s management, founders, and members thereof, but including the warrants held by the initial investors), at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the IPO Warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of an IPO Warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s IPO Warrant upon surrender of such warrant.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

IPO Warrants Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-214288) - February 2017

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-214288), declared effective February 3, 2017, (the “February 2017 Form S-1”) to register the issuance of 1,020,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of 1,020,000 remaining unexercised IPO Warrants (issued in the Company’s IPO as discussed above). Additionally, the February 2017 Form S-1 registered (i) the issuance of 1,062,031 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the exercise of 1,062,031 of the unexercised IPO Warrants (issued prior to the IPO), but only in the event such warrants are publicly transferred pursuant to Rule 144 prior to exercise, or (ii) the resale of such shares, but only in the event such warrants are exercised prior to being publicly transferred pursuant to Rule 144. Separately, in January 2017, the Company’s CEO executed a transaction with a shareholder who had previously purchased shares of common stock and warrants in the Company’s private financings prior to its IPO, under which the CEO purchased 25,000 IPO Warrants (issued prior to the IPO) from the shareholder. Accordingly, the shares of common stock underlying such IPO Warrants were not included in the February 2017 Form S-1.

Unit Purchase Options

On April 28, 2016, the Company issued Unit Purchase Options (“UPO”) to the selling agents in the Company’s IPO. The UPO provides for the purchase at an exercise price of $5.50 per Unit of 53,000 Units, with each Unit being identical to the units sold in the Company’s IPO, and therefore consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock at $5.00 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the unit purchase options issued to the selling agents was $105,100, which was accounted for as offering costs of the Company’s IPO. The fair value of the unit purchase options was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of the underlying unit of $5.00, dividend yield of 0.00%, expected volatility of 50%, risk free rate of 1.28% and remaining contractual term of 4.6 years.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

Liability-Classified Warrants

Common stock warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities if the warrants allow for cash settlement or provide for modification of the warrant exercise price in the event subsequent sales of common stock are at a lower price per share than the then-current warrant exercise price, as is the case for the Series A Warrants. The Company classifies derivative warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a current liability, initially measured at fair value at the time of issuance and subsequently remeasured at fair value at each quarterly balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized as income or expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Series A Warrants

The Series A Warrants may be exercised for one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $8.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Subsequently, upon the issuance of the Series S Warrants on July 3, 2017, in connection with the $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable, the Series A Warrant exercise price was adjusted to $6.67 per share. Further, upon the issuance of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units on August 4, 2017, the Series A Warrants exercise price was further adjusted to $6.65 per share, and each is subject to further adjustment. See Note 14, Subsequent Events, for a discussion of the July 3, 2017 $5.0 Million Senior Secured Notes Payable and issuance of Series S Warrants, and the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Units private placement transactions. The exercise price of the Series A Warrants will be further reduced by a prescribed formula on a weighted average basis in the event the Company issues common stock, options, or convertible securities at a price lower than the exercise price of Series A Warrants immediately prior to such securities issuance. The Series A Warrants became exercisable on May 21, 2017 upon the Company obtaining shareholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d) of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement (“Initial Exercise Date”), and expire after the close of business on April 30, 2024. During the time the Series A Warrants are outstanding, the holders will be entitled to participate in dividends or other distributions on a pro rata basis based upon the equivalent number of common shares that would have been outstanding had the warrants been fully exercised. The Series A Warrants are not subject to redemption.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the Series A Warrants as of the dates indicated along with weighted average assumptions utilized in each calculation:

The fair value of the Series A warrants was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The valuation of the Series A Warrants is subjective and is affected by changes in inputs to the valuation model including the Company’s common stock, and the assumptions regarding the likelihood and timing of dilutive transactions; the estimated volatility in the value of the Company’s equity instruments; risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields; and the Company’s dividend yield. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Note 12 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Stockholders’ Deficit, and Warrants (continued)

Series X Warrants

Through April 30, 2024, each Series A Warrant may be exchanged, at the option of the holder, into four Series X Warrants, with each Series X Warrants exercisable for one share of common stock at $6.00 per share, with such Series X Warrant exercise price not subject to further adjustment, except in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar events affecting the common stock. Holders may exercise Series X Warrants by paying the exercise price in cash. The Series X Warrants are exercisable commencing on the first trading day following October 31, 2018 - as it is the later of (i) the May 21, 2017 stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(d) of the Series A Preferred Stock Units private placement; or (ii) October 31, 2018 - and may be exercised until April 30, 2024, or earlier upon redemption. At any time after April 30, 2019, the Company may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Series X Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Series X Warrant if the volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock has been at least $18.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events occurring after the initial Closing date) for twenty trading days out of the thirty trading day period ending three business days prior to the notice of redemption in addition to certain other conditions. As of June 30, 2017, there were no Series X Warrants issued and outstanding.

Note 13 —Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth basic and diluted net loss per share - as reported and net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated:

Note 13 - Loss Per Share (continued)

The following common stock equivalents have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
